Of Interest te Onr Contest Candidates There will not be another count of votes appearing in the paper until the last issue before the close of the contest. Now each contestant should hustle up to the very last minute and when the standing appears just before the close of the contest see that your name heads the list. ^ White Hope is Some Giant If the bout between Jack John son and Jess Willard, articles for which Johnson signed in London recently, according to Curley’s announcement, takes place, the champion will find himself con fronted in the ring by the biggest man he ever faced. Willard is 6 feet 5 1-2 inches tall and weighs between 230 and 240 pounds in ring costume, He is twenty-six years of age and has a reach of 82 and 1-2 inches, Johnson is 6 feet 14 inches in height, weighs about 210 in condition and has a reach of 72 inches. His age at the time tentatively set for the bout would be thirty-seven years. A compar ison of these figures that Willard would have an advantage of at least 20 pounds in weight, five inches in height and close to ten years in age. There would be a far greater difference in the physical propor tions of the boxers than was the case when Johnson won his title from Jim Jeffries at Reno, Nev., on July 4, 1910. Johnson at that time was thirty-two years old to Jeffries thirty-five; weighed 209 pounds to his opponent’s 230 and had a reach of 72 inches to Jeffries’ 75. Willard’s greatest advantage over Johnson would be his youth, for in but one championship bout among heavyweights in modem times has there been a difference of ten or more years between the principals. John L. Sullivan was thirty-four years old when James J. Corbett defeated him at New Orleans in 1892 at the age of twenty-six. Corbett was thirty one when Bob Fitzsimmons at the age of thirty-five defeated^ him at Carson City, Nev., and Fitz simmons was thirty-seven when Jeffries wrested his championship laurels from him when Jeffries was but twenty-four years old. Fritsimmons lasted eleven rounds against Jeffries at the age of thirty-seven but the Cornishness was a physical marvel, differing greatly from the modern heavy weight. Your Daily Paper.

Early last week Mr. Hughes, late candidate for register of deeds for Buffalo coHety, who lost one of his legs in a railroad accident at Ravenna, was called to Kansas City by the Burlington railroad officials and there affected a settlement for the damages sus tained that made him a cripple for life and last Tuesday he received a check from the railroad com pany for $10,000. This is a very acceptable settlement, no dowbt for Mr. Hughes, especially as it was a tender made by the railroad without any legal process This will place Mr. Hughes hi comfort able circumstance, and with judi cious handling wiH bring him a comfortable income. — Ktyw' ncy Democrat.^ CHRISTMAS CHEER chases away thoughts of war and trouble!
