The Journal learns that the Presby
terian trustees at a meeting last night,
voted to make an increase in the salary
paid Rev. J. H. Salsbury. This action
of the trustees is highly commendable.
In common with many other ministers
Rev. Salsbury had been working in this
field at a salary which was very low to
say the least, and for one of his abili
ties, (mite insignificant. That he should
receive a salary somewhere near com
mensurate with his abilities goes with
out saying and none of those who aid
in sustaining the church will begrudge
the action taken last evening. Bev.
Salsbury is rapidly coming to the fore
as a polished, graceful and eloquent
speaker as well as a learned and erud
ite biblical scholar.

mary, owing to the business engage
ments he had on this trip.

A Pleasant Day's Outing.
Yesterday the family of Wm. Mc
Cauley and Ambrose and Miss Addie
Searle enjoyed a nice little picnic down
at Rocky Point, the day being put in
fishing and enjoying the cool shade and
delightful retreats of that oozy river
nook. There was not much fishing to be had
as the current runs in so swift to the
shore there that the hook and line does
not land many of the finny tribe, but
just the same everyone had a royal
time. A fine picnic dinner made the
piece de resistance of the program.
Those in the party were Wm. Mc
Cauley, wife and grand-daughter, Miss
Doris Patterson, and grand-sons, Don
and Jim Patterson, and Miss Addie
Searle and Ambrose Searle.
Vernon Arena, Los Angeles. Cab,
Sept. 8. Stanley Ketchel of Michigan,
former middleweight champion of the
world, was knocked out In the twelfth
round at Jeffries' Vernon arena at
four o'clock Monday afternoon by
Billy Papke of Illinois, who is now
middleweight champion of the world.
It was a case of the Illinois "Thun
derbolt" against a Michigan "Killer,"
and the thunderbolt won.
Both men entered the ring in appar
ent perfect condition and neither had
ever been knocked out. Ketchel had
a decision over Papke In a previous
ten-round bout. Both men are as
clei-looking prize fighters as anyone
Fees, but the bout ended as one of
the bloodiest in ring history.
Both Start Smiling.
Ketchel came in wearing a tattered
dressing gown and a worn hunting cap
and trunks of green gauze. He had a
feline stride, the smile of an un
spoiled boy, a fine brow, wide, clear
eyes and a shrewd look of purpose.
When Papke came in he also wore
an old dressing gown and a boyish
smile. Ketchel was freshly shaven
while Papke was unshaven. Ketchel
wore the air of an undefeated con
queror and was plainly the great
favorite of the crowd which had done
betting on him at 2 to 1.
When Papke entered he walked
blithely to Ketehel's corner and greet
ed him with a handshake and a cor
dial smile, but when James J. Jeffries,
the referee, called time and Ketchel
walked to the center extending his
hand for the shake, Papke ignored the
hand and sailed into the Michigan
man with the fiery impetuosity which
entitled him to be called the "Thun
derbolt." The fight was practically
over a minute and twenty seconds
after the gong sounded. From that
time on it was merely a question as
to how long Ketchel would last.
Was a Whirlwind Fight.
Papke tore into Ketchel with such
fury that the undefeated champion
was simply lifted off his feet four
times within the next minute. Papke
knocked Ketchel to the mat for the
count and from his first knock-
clown Ketchel never renllv recovered
his form. He was a defeated man
dazed, bleeding, struggling from 20
blows in the face, and yet he came
back and stayed with a terrible de
termination. And for at least three
rounds held his own with the victori
ous challenger.
Attell and Moran Draw.
Colma Arena, San Francisco, Sept
8. Abe Attell, the champion feather
weight of America, and Owen Moran,
England's premier boxer in the same
division, fought a draw battle at the
Colma open-air arena Monday after
noon in the presence of about 6,000
spectators. The battle lasted 23
rounds and at its conclusion Referee
Jack Welch unhesitatingly grasped
both lads by the hand, signifying that
the fight was a draw. The decision
seemed to please the crowd and there
were cheers for each fighter as he
wended his way from the ringside.

Sometimes it strikes three sometimes
it strikes twenty-three sometimes it

understand it we will reveal the secret.
When it strikes three, it means that
someone has recently gotten No. 13 and
three is goneon the next thirteen. When
it strikes twenty-three it means that an
other No. 13 is gone and only two left
untill another No. 13 goes. And when
it strikes thirteen, it means that the
lucky one is just leaving our store with a

Try it once. School begins pretty soon
