The house New Year's day drew $14,000 , the fight ers getting $8,400 between them. The Ight would surely have drawn more ban $20,000 if it had been held nt night. New Year's day on the coast s one of the California Jockey club's biggest days , and that hurt the re ceipts considerably. Eddlo Kelly , the Buffalo feather weight , Is now located In Frisco nnd ooklng for fight. Kelly saw the Mor- m-Attell fight and challenged the win- icr. If be fails to get any of the big tins , Kelly will tackle some of the smaller fry. Jack Moakley , who Is responsible for the brilliant success Cornell has mil In cross-country runnlng.declares that the sport is the greatest develop er of any form of athletics. Jimmy Brltt , since his return from Honolulu , has openly stated that he is anxious for a fourth meeting with Battling Nelson , and has sent scouts out to have Nelson call tbo fight off with Kid Sealer. It Is doubtful If the Frisco fight promoters would care to match Brltt again , as he Is not very sweet with the public. Tommy Burns and Jack Palmer will receive 80 per cent of the receipts for their twenty-round go at Wonderland on the 10th of next month. The 80 per cent will be split 75 and 25.

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS WANT HIM ON TICKET. ARE MANY BRYAN ADMIRERS The Auditorium In Lincoln Isn't Big Enough to Hold the Swarm of Democrats - crats There for the Dinner Senator Allen Refused to Attend. Lincoln , Neb. , Jan. 15. Special to The News : Lincoln and Nebraska democrats favor Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota for vice presi dent. The Auditorium accommodations are Insufficient to hold the Bryan admirers here for the big Bryan dollar dinner tonight. M. F. Harrington of O'Neill will be the only Nebraska speaker aside from Bryan. About the liveliest subject In demo cratic state politics just now is the way that Chairman T. S. Allen of the state committee apparently slighted one element of the party in the ar rangements for the Bryan dollar din' ' ner at which it is expected 1,000 will be present from all over Nebras ka. One noticeable thing was that A. C. Shallenbarger , defeated candidate for governor in 1904 , was chosen to act as toastmaster , while it is said that George W. Berge , who was Shal lenbarger's rival for the nomination at that time and is prominently men tloned for the governorship this year , did not even get an invitation. Chairman Allen , Invited William V. Allen of Madison , who is a populist , to bo one of the speakers at the dinner , but the latter declined for some reason. The hint has been thrown out that the former United States senator refused to come because he thinks Chairman Allen is trying to wipe out the populist organization In Nebraska and make everything democratic which is not re publican. This does not coincide at all with plans of the Madison states man and other populist leaders. They are not ready yet to give up their separate Identity as a party. They be lieve If Bryan Is nominated for presi dent and beaten this year , the demo cratic party will return to Its old idols of the Cleveland days , and If this happens they expect the populist or ganization to regain its former stand ing as a factor in national politics That is said to be the chief reason why tbo populibts in a number of Nebraska counties have continued to herd by themselves after their state organiza tion had nearly disappeared. As to Shallenberger's selection for toastmaster , there are some democrats who opine that Chairman Allen is grooming him for another gubernato rial nomination. A len is also sup posed to be working with the end In view to keep contact of the party or ganlzatlon in Incrsonvn hands , and Shallengarger's afcthuance would bo worth something to' hlm in lining up local organizations in southwestern Nebraska. MANY UNABLE TO ATTEND MEDI-j CAL SOCIETY MEETING. OFFICERS WERE ELECTED Dr. W. H. H. Hagey of Norfolk Was Chosen President of the Elkhorn Valley Medical Society at Its Annual Winter Meeting. Dr.V. .

Elkhorn Valley doctors and doctors vho live beyond the limits of the alley , who find profit nnd pleasure n seml-nnnuul visits to Norfolk , came n smaller number than usual for > retty nearly all north Nebraska has he grip or some other winter ailment. Physicians who did come were anxious o get back to their grip stricken com- nunltlcs. Even Norfolk physicians , msy answering sick calls , found their line nt the society meeting sadly rc- btrlctcd. But the Elkhorn society Is solidly founded with many profitable years jeforo It. Last summer It held the icst attended and the most cnthus- astlc meeting In Its history. Next summer It expects just such a meet- ng again. The papers read Tuesday afternoon were possibly more technical than isunl. Creditable papers were read jy Dr. F. A. Long of Madison , Dr. H. O. Munson of Battle Creek , Dr. Pal mer FIndley of Omaha , Dr. G. A. Young of Norfolk , Dr. A. L. Mulrhead of Omaha , Dr. Clinton Chase of Stanton - ton and Dr. D. W. Beattlo of Neligh. Dr. Beattlo was the retiring prcsl- lent of the society , having been elect ed last winter. RAILROADS WESTERN'S FUTURE. Several Western Roads Could Use the Property in Connection Many railroad men are busy making new maps , says a Lincoln dispatch. Discussion as to what road could use the Great Western to the best advan tage Is heard whereever railroad men get together. That system has been linked up during the past few days with almost every railroad reaching any of its terminals and with some that do not touch Its lines at all. Here is a list of some of the roads that this system would look well with when connected on the map : Kansas City Southern , M. K. & T. , Santa Fe , Union Pacific , Missouri Pacific , Wa- basb , and Rock Island. While it is not probable that any one of these roads will get the Great Western in the near future , railroad men assert , most of them agree that the Kansas City Southern could use the Great Western System with more effect on other lines In the Great Western territory than any other road. The Great Western Is located In a great grain producing country , and the Kansas City Southern has been making a rather Ineffectual bid for grain traffic to the south for a number of years. With the Great Western it would have a key to a part of the situation in the west and with its own lines could drain much ter ritory. The Union Pacific could use the Great Western to a good advantage. Western terminals of the Great West ern are at Omaha and Kansas City and the eastern terminals of the Union Pacific are located at the same places. Tills would give the Union Pacific its own line into Chicago from both Kan sas City and Omaha , although neither line would be short. Local railroad men ascribe part of the Great Western's troubles to rate cutting in the past and an inefficient system of auditing that has nol brought to the treasury of the com pany the money that the road has earned.
