ITS SAD BUT TRUE! POOR OLD TIME IS DEAD
.
He passed away on January 15th, 1897, at 7 o'clock in the morning. It required a hard strug
gle for us to give him up as he was a dear friend of ours. Full well we remember how we used to
take him home with us, to eat, think and sleep with him; so my dear readers you can imagine how
near and dear he was to us. But we have laid him to rest and wish him well, and hope our com
petitors will treat him with as much respect as we have. But our censcience is clear, as we have
done nothing we are sorry for. We are in it to a finish, with the largest stock of goods in the city

A CAED FROM A. E. HUNTINGTON.
i am a repuDiican. aome men
who claim to be republicans, (so I
am informed) say they will not sup
port the republican ticket as to
mayor for the reason that I would
be marshal. I am not a candidate
for the position, and I take pleas
ure in making- this statement, al
though I do not believe that these
tauit-nnaers ana street corner
loafers will now, or have in the
past voted the republican ticket ex
cept when they have an ax to grind
or thought they could control the
candidate they voted for. I am tor
Evans for mayor, not through hope
ot reward but because if elected
he
will be the mavor. I shall vote the
straight republican ticket from top
to ootrom even inougu it aeteatea
every man on the ticket. I have
some rights as a voter which I will
never be gulled out of by these gul
lies. Yours for success,

A STATEMENT.
It was announced sometime since
that the international committee of
the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion" was negotiating with the
Union Pacific.railroad company to
get certain assistance toward the
erection of an association build
ing at this place. It was also stated
that C. L. Gates would arrive here"
in March to see what could be done
toward the work by the citizens.
Mr. Gates arrived this week but
not having made arrangements
sufficiently definite with the com-i
pany the matter has been deferred
for the present. I do not mean by
this statement that there has been
no progress made towards the real-
! nn l-l f 1 J,
uuLiuu ui our nopes, on tne otuer
hand the matter has been verv
favorably received. So that consid-
en njr the orooosition for the build-
iug as first stated there are
bright
prospects indeed. Mr. Gates will
probably return about the first of
June; at which time it is hoped
that all things will be ready to
push the matter to completion.

Corbett's Z,ee Work.
The things that are becoming es
pecially noticeable about Corbett's train
ing are the improvement in his leg work
and the attention he is paying to break
away hits and clinch blows, particularly
the open glove shovo in the face at close
quarters. He seems to be able to jump
from any spot and at any angle and land
in position to defend himself from a
blow. This leg strength, too, is enabling
him to throw his body forward at a very
wido angle, while it gives him an ad
ditional reach and allows him to come
back from his opponent's punches with
out moving his feet from their original
position.
Corbett said, "I feel that I am in ex
cellent shapo and am glad that my work
is not suffering through the change of
air and locality. " Exchange.
Silpatrick a Professional.
Some regret goes with the announce
ment that Charlie Kilpatrick of Albany,
tho holder of the world's amateur half
mile running record of 1:58 2-5, has de
termined to become a professional. Ho
will follow the examplo of Tom Con
neff, his recent New York Athletic club
mate, and cross tho Atlantic ocean for a
series of match races. Kilpatrick pur
poses to go to London and there, after
he has been acclimated, to issue a chal
lenge to B.cdin. He hopes to make
enough money to be able to return homo
and resume his studies without being
compelled to listen to remarks to tho
effect that his Btatus as an athlete is not
above reproach. New York Sun.
A Bad Habit of Boxing Clubs.
Certain boxing clubs enjoying pros
perity have a bad habit of raising tho
price of tickets when the spectators in
point of number exceed expectations.
This practice should be denounced. It
is unfair to tho patrons of boxing, who
always pay high prices and are often re
warded witlrdisappointments. In view
of the facts in the case it is plain that
competition is a good thing, and that
there is a field for a club that will stand
by the public with the same sense of re
sponsibility assumed by any reputable
theater. Exchange.
