WHY JEFFRIES COLLAPSED.
Johnson Aqrced to ' 'Lay ' Down" and
Then "Ran It Out" Attell.
Kansas City Star : James J. Jef
fries wasn't "doped" when ho mot his
Heno , nor was his sudden collapse duo
to the killing pace ho set In training
over the hills of California and under
Nevada's broiling sun. It was the
yellow of his skin that scoped Into
his Inner workings that brought gloom
to the white race and joy to Black-
vlllo. It was an ecru streak that grad
ually turned into a bright yellow that
sent the alfalfa farmer reeling Into
defeat. We have this straight from
the fecdbox from the Hon. Abraham
Attoll , featherweight champion and
ono of Jeffries' chief seconds. AccordIng -
Ing to Abe , the light was a prear
ranged affair , "fixed" for Jeffries to
win , but two days before the time
scheduled for the big coup Johnson
changed his mind and sent word to
"Jeff" that the deal was off and that
ho , "Lll Athuh , " had turned square
and that the best man would win.
This startling Information caused the
collapse of the man who a few days
be-fore had caused his admirers to
shriek with joy and the blacks to
moan with anguish.
Abe Attell told the writer all of
this last night and Abe still Insists
that he Is an enemy of the black race
and still fond of Jeffries. He isn't deal
ing it because he Is sore on anyone.
Ho actually believes It.
"When I was called to Hone to second
end Jeffries I had already made up my
mind to bet on Johnson" said the
featherweight champion last night. "I
thought the negro would win and I
saved $5.000 from the wreck to bet on
him. When I arrived In Ueno I
changed my mind that's all I did
change , because I didn't make a bet
because I found out that Jeffries
was the 'caucus' nominee. At that
time 'Jeff' looked lively and cheer
ful enough to whip a regiment of John
sons. Ho had all the stuff a champion
needed. This run of cheerfulness and
remarkable strength continued until
Saturday morning before the fight and
then something happened. Saturday
afternoon Jeff wouldn't talk to mo or
any of his other helpers. He hid him
self In the house that night and Sun
day In camp was like a funeral. Then
I began to get busy trying to find out
what was the matter. The 'hunch' lilt
me that there was something on the
'inside' that was going wrong. Some
one melded 1,600 trumps. I hiked out
to the Johnson camp and there was
more cheer around that layout Sun
day , the day before the fight , than
Lew Dockstader ever pulled In his
entire career. You could oven get a
smllo from Slg Hart.
"I knew that something had hap
pened after looking at that happy
bunch and then , remembering the
dose of gloom a.t our own training
quarters , I put two and two together
and that actually made four. I asked
a few questions from everyone I met ,
and then I finally located the Inside
work. Here It Is : Until two days
before the fight Johnson had agreed
to lay down to Jeffries. George
Little , Johnson's deposed manager ,
told me this. Then , when Johnson
found out that Little was around bet
ting on Jeffries ho shifted the cut.
Ho sent word to Jeffries that the
'frame-up' was off and that the fight
was going to be on the square. There
wore a number of busy meetings In
side the next ton hours , but Johnson
wouldn't listen to reason. Ho wasn't
going to see George Little win any
money and It was all off. Then Jef
fries collapsed. No wonder. A cham
pionship In his pocket and have It
picked.
" 1 was sure I was right before wo
went to the arena on the day of the
fight , and I was positive when we wont
in the dressing room just before en
terlng the ring. Jeff trieu to warm
up and couldn't. He wrestled with
Brother Jack and Joe Choynskl and
both shoved him around like he was
u baby. It was all off. Tough , too ,
for Johnson was nearly scared to
death himself before the fight Blurted.
If Jeffries hud even started after him
the negro would have quit.
" 1 know that It Is tough to say that
JeflrloB Bhowt'd the y ; llow , but It will
all come out good and strong some
day , and you will BOO that 1 was In
the right. "

FATE'S TRICK ON DOLLIVER.
The Iowa Senator Sidestepped Chance
to be President.
Minneapolis , Minn. , Oct. 27. Senator
Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa , whose
dealh has recently occurred , might
have boon president of the United
States. This Is a little bit of political
history that Is not generally known
and was related confidentially by Iho
sonalor himself. Had he so willed
would have been nominated fo -
vice president with William McKinley
In the place of Theodore Roosevelt.
Such a nomination would have ele
vated Dolliver to the presidency and
would have changed the political his
tory of the last ten years. Senator
Dolllver's wife , who was a niece of
D. K. Pearson , the Chicago multimillionaire
lionaire , was possibly responsible for
his refusal to accept this nomination.
The story of this singular Incident
in republican politics is best told in
the language of Senator Dolliver :
"Some months before the conven
tion that nominated McKinley the
second time. Mark Ilanna , who was
managing Mr. McKlnley's campaign ,
mot mo In Chicago and told me some
of the dllllcultios he was experiencing
in securing a running .mate for Mc
Kinley. 'I wish , ' he said to me , 'that
you would accept the nomination. '
"I told Mr. Ilanna that I expected
and hoped .o be elected United States
senator from Iowa , that I regarded
the vice presidency as a shelving place
and that I was not a candidate for a
political sarcophagus. Then he asked
mo If I would permit the use of my
name , promising that at the proper
time it would bo withdrawn. Ho
told me there were several undesir
able candidates in the field. He ex
plained that the use of my name would
keep down this list of undesirable
candidates and I agreed with him that
the mention of my name In connection
with so distinguished an ofllco could
do me no harm and might be of value
to mo.
"When I went down to Philadelphia
shortly before the convention I dis
covered that my candidacy had as
sumed serious proportions. My col
leagues In the house had taken hold
of the matter and my nomination was
assured unless Mr. Ilanna kept his
promise. I wont to him and told him
that It was time for him to redeem
his plcdgo.
"His reply was , 'Dolliver , we are up
against It. There IB no man In the
Hold who will make a suitable candi
date. ' I said to him , 'Why not name
Roosevelt ? ' He told me he under 1
stood there was a movement on among
the Platt republicans of New York to
nominate Roosevelt In order to shelve 1
him and got him out of New York , but
he said ho understood that Mr. Roosevelt
velt would not accept the nomination.
Ho did not express any objection to
Roosevelt.
"After some conversation he author 1
ized me to call on Mr. Roosevelt , put
the situation up to him , and to assure
him ho could have the vlco presiden '
tial nomination If he wanted It. I
called on Mr. Roosevelt at his hotel.
"When 1 told him the situation ho 1
demurred on the ground that ho un '
derstood that neither McKinley nor
Hanna desired him. I assured him
that ho was mistaken. Then he said
to me , biting his words as ho uttered
them , 'It seems singular that the men I
who can make mo governor of Now
York want me to bo vice president , >
and those who can make mo vlco pres
ident want mo to bo governor of New
York. '
"After an extensive conversation I [
I told him that If he desired to bo vice i
president the thing for him to do , and 1
all that was necessary for him to do , ,
was to go and see Mark Hanna , and 1
he finally consented to do so. We j
Wont to Hanna's room together. Hanna -
na Bald : 'Mr. Rooso"elt , If you want
this nomination all you will have to
do Is to say HO , ' and Mr. Roosevelt
finally said that he would not refuse
the nomination If It wore given to
him.
him."Vvo
"Vvo left Mr. llanna's room and In
I order to forestall the possibility of
Mr. Roosevelt's changing his mind I
stopped In at the Associated Press of
llco and gave out the Information that
Mr. Roosevelt had consented to ac
cept the nomination.
I "And that , " concluded Senator Dol-
liver , "Is how near 1 came to being
president of the United States. "
Mr. Dolliver laughed when he told
the Htory , but there was in his voice
a note of regret over the fact that ho
had not accepted that momentous
nomination.
| AND LILLIAN IS AN EXPERT.
,
Miss Russell Gives Some Advice to
I Wives and Sweethearts.
I Cleveland , Oct. 27. Miss Lillian
Russell , now playing In Cleveland ,
| said words of wisdom today on the
i social relationship of women and
| me.i. She , whose experience of life
1ms boon varied and whose Intelli
gence Ib undeniable , was asked by an
Interviewer for her recipe for catchIng -
Ing a man and holding him.
| "To begin with. " declared Miss Rus
sell , "always remember that familiar
ity breeds contempt especially In a
man or husband. And the moral of
this sentence is not to let a man know
(
you wisely and too well. Don't bo an
open book that ho who runs may read ,
because If you an ? , he who reads will
run and he'll never flop running.
I "The second rule Is this : Don't
have too much brain. A man likes to
feel he Is superior to woman. Even
if ho Isn't It's up to you to fool him
for the sake of your own happiness.
"It's painful , but true. Ask any
man if ho likes a suffragette , or a pro
fessor , or a club woman. 'Nix on 'cm
for me , ' Is what he'll say.
I "Just be the kitten and the toy that
the man expects you to bo. But bean
!
an Inturcsting kitten and a clever toy ,
because there's lots of competition lu
this game.
I "And the third point 1 make Is this :
Get other Interests in life besides men
' if you like them. A woman can't be
the least hit Interesting if her mind
{ is bounded on the north , south , cast
and west by laziness and ennui. Let
her bo a good housekeeper and a good
dresser and sho'll have something to
occupy her attention.
"And last of all don't taue your
romances too seriously Have a sense
of humor , and when you feel most
romantic stop and laugh at yourself.
"Remember , too , that you aren't the
whole cheese. There are millions of
other women angling , all trying to
land the brutes , all wondering Just
how much line to give them.
"So , to catch a man , i would say ,
'don't lot on you're trying , but keep on
the job every minute and It's too
easy. ' '
[ A BEAUTIFUL , MODERN STORE
A mammoth crowd attended the formal -
1 mal opening of the large new store of
' the Heeler Bros. Wednesday evening.
I Many farmers and their families
wore among the guests while the lo
cal crowd was large. Voget's orches
tra , on a high stand near the office
of the store , furnished the music. The
clerks wore all dressed in neat white
attire while the proprietors welcomed
the viators at the door.
For a number of weeks the decora
tor of the store had been busy ar-
tanging for the opening which mark
ed the completion of the building ,
and his handiwork was highly compli
mented. The feature of these decora
tions was the window display which
contained four large clusters of green ,
white and blue chrysanthemums of
which the bulbs were all aglow from
the light of the small electric lights
secreted in the ( lowers. Light from
the fifty-two electric lights on the
coiling of these windows gave the
beautiful display of fall and winter
stock a good effect.
Fine art line.is , silks and imported
goods made up the window display.
I Entering the large room the visitors
found the decorations exceptionally
beautiful. The large showcases on
both sides of the store and In the
center were covered with pointsottas ,
palms , lllllos and other beautiful flow
ers. High above these cases was the
grill work with the grape leaves twinIng -
Ing about them. Heavy brass pots
held real sea moss and mountain
ferns , while the best of the store's
' stock made up the other decorations.
The opening was a great success.
| For a number of years both F. A.
1' ' and L. M. Heeler , the proprietors of
the Heeler Bros , store , have endeavored -
ored to have the owner make many
Improvements in the building they
occupy and after nearly four years'
negotiations the final papers were
signed on June 7 , 1909. by A. C. Tay
lor of Cedar Rapids , la. , the owner ,
and the store management who now
have a long lease on the store.
I It was at first thought but one Iloor
was needed , but seeing the rapid
growth of the town Mr. Taylor de
cided on two floors. In August , 1909 ,
the actual work was commenced on
the building and today with the ox-
' ccptlon of the upper floor It Is about
completed.
| All the work was done by Norfolk
' contractors. The bulk of the work
was done by M. L. Ogden ; W. A.

ish.
j ' Built up a few foot higher than the
floor In the rear of the main room Is

like a small bank , with grill work of
brass and high work desks. Two tele

Men's Attire.
Sharon , Pa. , Oct. L'C. The "No KissIng -
Ing Club , " composed of the young
daughters of some of Sharon's first
'amllies , is likely to bo disorganized.
The fearful strain of refraining from
kissing or being kissed by the young
nen of their acquaintance is said to

ivlno and cigarettes.
There was a special meeting of the
club last night at the residence of one
of the members In Buhl avenue. It is
reported that the girls arrived clad In
masculine attire. Each had with her
supply of cigarettes and some

Parent Too III to Summon Aid In Vi
cinity of McNeely.
Colome , S. D. , Oct. 20. Chris Slndo
lies seriously ill at his home near Mc
Neely and the discovery of Ills plight
reveals a sad story. Mr. Slndo'f son ,
a young man of about 21 , had been 111
for a long time , when the father was
ptrlcken and unable to be up. Alone ,
they were without attention and they
had neither food nor fuel. On Monday
J. H. Ludwlck went to the house , and
then there came to light the story.
The boy died two days before and the
father was unable to summon aid.
During the two days , the old man had
been alone with the body , suffering
Intense mental and physical torture.
Mr. Ludwick at once summoned Dr.
A. L. KImball , provided food and fuel
and reported the case to the people of
McNeely , whoso response was Imme
diate. The son was given a proper
burial and the father is now cared for
and will be until he recovers.
BREAK UP MACHINERY.
Joseph Glassner , Nellgh Farmer , Finds
Sons Made Sky Boat.
Omaha , Oct. 20. Discovery by Jo
seph Glassner , a farmer , living near
Noligh , Nob. , that several parts of ono
of his most expensive farm Imple
ments had been removed , apparently
with deliberation and malice , led to
the still more Interesting discovery
last week that Glassner's three sons ,
ranging In age from 18 to 24 years ,
have been cultivating their inventive
bent by taking the agricultural ma
chinery to pieces and using such parts
as satisfactorily could be used in the
construction of an aeroplane.
According to Nellgh men , who visit
ed In Omaha yesterday , Glassnor
waxed wroth when his sons confessed
that they had practically broken up
the farm Implements In order to break
Into the Wright class , but his Ire van
ished when ho learned that the young
men had produced a machine that
actually would fly.
The Glassnor boys' sky boat is of
the early "soaring" typo. While It Is
