Champion Jeffries Gives Akron Giant Enough in live Sounds, STOM ACH BLOW CAUSES COLLAPSE Vanquished Pugilist Claims .Je(Tries Struck Low—K»«y Victory Surprint** Holler inaker-WInner Consider* Opponent Vigorous Until Latter Yield*. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16.—In on* of the most unsatisfactory prize fights ever witnessed in this country James Jeffries proved the victor last nighl over Ous Ruhlin. In the fifth round of what was to have been a twenty round struggle Ruhlin wilted and then surrendered to fils peer, to the utter amazement and disgust of the assem bled thousands. No one was more surprised than Jeffries himself, who asserted that although he had deliver ed one telling blow in the second round he did not expect to win the vic tory so easily. Ruhlin's sole explanation of the out rome of the fight is that he received » chance blow which utterly disabled him and that Joffrles persisted in fighting him low. While Ruhlin will rnnke no absolute eharge of Jeffries having committed a foul he intimates that he was unfairly handled and In jured as a result. Ruhlin received the report of his seconds In this stand, who say that his was a hopeless case after the second round. When seen in his dressing room af ter the fight Champion Jeffries said: "1 was certainly surprised at my easy victory and Ruhlin's amazing de feat. While it Is true that he did not punch me hard enough during the five rounds to cause me any alarm, I be lieved him strong and cautious up to the moment of his collapse and was surprised when lie quit. I certainly had no trouble In whipping him and had the fight gone on the result must have been the same. Ruhlin was In accurate and In poor wind and I can not say that he even had the courage and force that I expected to ecounter In him. Ruhlin took a stiff punch in the stomach in the fourth round, which I presume gave him trouble. Nevertheless I expected him to lose harder than he did. Ruhlin can doubtless best explain IiIb own posi tion, and as for myself I am willing to meet Sharkey next month and thereafter to defend as best 1 can the title I hold.” When Ruhlin went into his dress ing room he was followed by a gloomy group of adherents. The defeated man complained of no pain and mov ed about without assistance. He stated: "I believed from the tap of the gong that I would win, but as the fight progressed I was beaten down until I received a blow in the stomach which 1 must say was very low. It may not have been a foul, hut no living man could have survived it. Jeffries de parted from the written rules and front the common regulations of box ing when he threw himself upon me and wrestled rather than sparred. I believe timt had I not received the stomach punch which ended me in the fifth round I would have worn down Jeffries a few rounds later and beaten him as a matter of endurance. I am ready to fight him again and be lieve that in time l will have the op portunity of showing that I can de feat him.” IOWA MONEY MISAPPLIED.

KNOCK AT Tilt UNION’S DOOR Oklahoma anil the Indian Territory Urge Their Demand for Statehood. MUSKOGEE, I. T„ Nov. 15.—Single Btatehooil for Oklahoma and Indian Territory will be brought to a definite issue at the convention called to meet in the United States court room here this afternoon. The date for the con vention wr.s set at Oklahoma City on October 22, and three hundred dele gates from each territory have come to fight out the issue. The supreme effort of the two territories to secure a single statehood form of govern ment at the next session of congress will be made. The issue will, it is believed, be squarely divided between the political and commercial interests of the terri tories. Politicians, as a rule, it is conceded, are in favor of separate statehood. This view, as far as indi cations point before the meeting gath ers, is opposed by the business men of the territories, who want all ave nues of trade and industry opened without restriction, and who profess to believe that this end could not be secured in making two states of the territories. This, it is held, Is espe cially true in Indian Territory, whose undeveloped natural resources, they assert, are as rich as can he found in any state of the union. Among the first delegates to arrive the current of feeling seemed strongly for single statehood for Oklahoma without de lay, Indian Territory to be later. Aside from speechmaking and the adoption of resolutions bearing on the subject, tne convention will likely provide funds to carry on a system atic campaign of education for state hood that shall finally reach congress. EAVORS THE AMERICAN ELOUR llraztl IncreiMCfl Duty on That Imported In lings. NEW YORK. Nov. 15.—The Rio .Janeiro correspondent of the Herald cables: The Chamber of Deputies has passed a bill Increasing the duty on (lour imported in bags Instead of bar rels. There was a lively discussion over the measure. It was contended that flour imported in bags is apt to contain dangerous germs, but this as sertion was combated vigorously. One member of the budget commit tee frankly declared that the object of the bill was to protect United States producers against the Argentine. Af ter the vote had been taken several deputies said: “The Yankees have routed the Argentines." Public opinion and the newspapers generally disapprove of the new law, as it Is known that flour from the Uni ted States arrives in barrels, while the Argentine product comes in bags. Newspapers of Buenos Ayres unani mously condemn the measure and re monstrances will be filed by the Ar gentine millers. RumI Mall Clerk* In Civil Service.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—A cable, gram received at the state depart ment today from Auckland, New Zea i land, announces the death at Apia, Samoa, on October 17, of Luther W. Osborn, United States consul general at Apia. Mr. Osborn was born in New York and appointed to his present post from Nebraska July 26, 1897. Thus hr was the principal representative of the authority of the United States in the Samoan group in the troublesome days before the partition and it appeared that he alone of all the foreign rep resentatives at Apia aroused no op position. He obtained the confidence of the natives and the other repre sentatives of the foreign powers. The death of Luther W. Osborn ol Nebraska, consul general at Apia, Sa moa, announced today by the state department, came as a great shock to the officials. His communications to the department have been marked by thorc'ighness, clearness and value. When trouble between the contending factions of natives arose Judge Osborn, as acting chief justice of the Samoan islands, decided every question with such eminent fairness that both side3 to a controversy were bound to ac cept his decisions. When the excite ment in the islands was at white heat and actual warfare between contend ing native tribes had broken out Con sul General Osborn remained on the Island, refusing to take refuge on a man-of-war, and by his coolness and courage prevented wholesale slaughter. The consular service of the United States contains not a chapter of cool ness, intelligent judgment and success cessful diplomacy on the part of any consul surpassing this chapter of Judge Osborn’s record at Apia.

With but one district the federal court is overcrowded with business and great hardship and inconvenience results. If we can secure two districts the people of western Nebraska will be especially benefited. In the South Platte district one session of the court could be held at Lincoln and another say at Hastings, while in the North Platte the sessions could be divided between Omaha and some such place as Alliance or North Platte.” A DEMENTED MAN SUICIDES.

Not infrequently a young woman finds It necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home ser vant cannot do it. Hence these direc tions for ironing the waist: To iron Bummer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful* to have -*< them starched evenly wibh Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight In a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When Ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the iron ing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso lutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap ply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits in the front iron them downward, after first raising each one with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctness. After the shirt waist is ironed it should be well aired by the fire or In the sun before It is folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Edition's "Boo..* Thomas A. Edison is very deaf.
