Billy Walker lies dying nt a room In the
Blum hotel at South Omaha from rho effects
of a blow or blows delivered by Andy Du-
pont of Kansas City during the course of a
prl/o fight on Mouday night. H was jupt
before 12:30. : In the twelfth round of the
flghJ , that Walker sank slowly to the floor
under the rain of blows showered on him
by Dupont , Ho has not since regained 'on-
Bdoiisncss and at midnight last night the
Burgeons who are attending him Bald he
could not live and that his death might ensue -
sue at any time. Walker appeared to rally
a llttlo about noon on Tuesday nnd gave
Homo signs of returning life , but before
night all these signs had vanished nnd his
strength began to slowly ebb away.
Walker has been lying unconscious ever
Hlnco the finish of the fight nt midnight Mon
day night , nnd there Is danger that hovllF
din as a result of the Injuries received. Yet
Chief of Police Carroll has not made the
slightest effort to apprehend Dupont. As an
explanation of his non-action the chief de
clares that he Is waiting for a warrant to
bo sworn out for Dupont'a arrest , despite
Iho fact that this crime under the laws of
Nebraska took place directly before his eyes.
In the meanwhile those who are liable to
punishment for participating In the fight
uro busily engaged In making themselves
scarce. Dupont has apparently separated
himself from Omaha , South Omaha nnd this
section of the country , for ho Is nowhere to
bo found. The officials who took part In the
uffray have also disappeared , and It they
are still In the city they are not receiving
callers.
The fight was witnessed by Chief of
Police Carroll and a majority of the police
force of the pork-packing town. They saw
It from start to finish , and beheld the blow
that stretched Walker out upon the floor of
the arena. If they did not , they must bo
numbered among that class who have eyes
and do not see. Yet all the participants in
the fray wcro allowed to disperse without
molestation , Most of them remained over
night In South Omaha.
tt'nlkcr In Still | 'IICMIIINI > IOUH.
In the mennwhllo Walker has been lying
in a very precarious condition. When he
was picked up and carried to his comer ho
was unconscious and has not regained con
sciousness since. Ho bears no serious out
ward marks of Injury. The only noticeable
bruise Is located on his right eye , which Is
badly discolored. The man appears to have
considerable difficulty In breathing , and It
Is therefore feared that he Is suffering from
Internal Injuries. Ho has been lying In a
room In a boarding house n few .doors north
of Blum's lull , where the fight took place.
There was no Indication given during the
course of the fight that Walker was receiv
ing punishment moru than he could stand ,
nnd consequently Iho officials of the fight
did not feel called upon to bring the bout
to an end on account ot any fear that the
fighter was receiving serious Injuries. While
It was apparent that ho was becoming
weaker from the blows ho received at Du-
pont's hands , yet at the beginning of
each round ho stepped to the center
of the ring briskly and apparently la
good pomlltiotu This was even the case at
the beginning of the twelfth and final round.
According , to the testimony given by1
spectators , /Walker started some rushing
tactics In a wld ) sort pf way. Dupont met
these rushes with straight Jabs and hooks
that rapidly weakened his opponent.
Finally , In one of the rushes , Dupont landed
n hard blow upon the point of Walker's JaW
that brought him to the ground. Ho rolled
over on his buck and at the conclusion of
Iho ten seconds his seconds rushed out to
him and found him unconscious.
The spectators state that Walker's Injuries
were not caused by his striking the floor.
lie went down once before , but not with
enough force to lujuro him. In the knock
out ho did not fall violently , but his knees
gave way beneath him , ho sank down on
one elbow nnd rolled over on his back.
From these statements It would seem , there
fore , that whatever Injuries the man
sustained were caused by the blows of his
opponent.
KDortK to UcM-lve Him I'll 1 1.
The spectators cheered and dispersed
without thinking that the knockout was
more than an ordinary kind. The seconds
thought likewise , but finally , as their efforts
to resuscitate the man failed , they were
forced to believe that the man had received
serious Injuries. No physician was called
until It became certain that ordinary
efforts to bring htm back to consciousness
wcro of no avail. This fact became certain
about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Dr. James Kelley of South Omaha , who Is
attending Walker , said at 2 o'clock yester
day that there was a chance of bringing him
through yet , although It Is remote.
Mayor Ensor and Chief of Police Carroll
liava made arrangements by which they will
Day the expenses of the Illness of Walker ,
and though the relatives of the latter are not
entirely satisfied , they have agreed to drop
iho matter on this condition , In case Walker
recovers.

Kntrics are gradually bolng handed In for
the duu show , which will commence next
Tuesday and continue during the remainder
of the week. There Is every prospect that
a largo number of dogs of llni > pedigree
will be put on exhibition , us the number
of ilop fanciers In the city Is largo. The
in-obablllty of this Is Increased by the fact
that no dog show of any description has
been held In the city for several years.
The promoteB of the affair , which In
cludes u good many of the dog fanciers of
the city , have prepared a list of prizes for
the Hun stock of all classes that will bo
on display. Several handsome prizes have
bi'eti donated by merchants ot the city.
From present prospects every one of these
awards will bo hotly contested , Inasmuch
is there promises to be a big list of entries
In every class. *
The owners'of doss In this state nnd

derlnUcH to 1'urclinnc the lilt ?
i IiiHtruiiiciit.
These who have had the pleasure of hear
ing the big organ In the Auditorium at the
exposition will probably be glad to learn
that thcro Is a prospect for the Instrument
remaining In the state. The alumni of the
University of Nebraska Is Interesting Itself
In the subject and bos hopes It may bo able
to purchase the organ for the university.
A meeting of the nlumnl was held at Lin
coln Monday evening and great Interest In
the project was shown. This was height
ened materially when It became known that
subscriptions had already been made to the
purchase price which left but $2,500 to be
raised by the alumni , the prlco being set
at $7,000. U has been decided to call upon
each graduate of the university for a sub
scription of $10 toward tbo amount needed
to complete the purchase price. Prof. WIN
lard F. Klmball of Lincoln , who waa tempo
rarily connected with the exposition music
department , recommended that the students
buy tbo organ.
A committee appointed by the alumni has
the matter In hand. It consists ot Prof.
Lawrence , Fassler. ' 81 ; Will Owen Jones ,
'SO ; Paul F. Clark , ' 87 ; Mrs. W. E. Hardy ,
90 , and Harry G. Shedd , ' 97.

and at the eaves of the depot were niado
the Mibjcct of cheers.
There was a steady stream of people un
loaded from the Incoming .trains though the
rush for the viaduct was not as eager as
on more favorable occasions. The public In

came as a severe blow to his friends and
relatives It was not unexpected. For months
past the deceased has been suffering from
pulmonary troubles and at the suggestion of
his brother , James , ho spend several months
In the south. Upon his return he appeared to
bo better and the fact that ho was at home
again and among his relatives brightened
htm up considerably and no doubt prolonged
his days. All of the brothers of the. deceased
were untiring In their efforts to do all In
their power to put off the fatal day , and to
the kind and careful treatment accorded the
doctors ascribe the lengthening of bis life.

The rally of the republican voters of the
N'lnth ward nt the rooms of the Ninth Ward
Republican club was well attended last
night and these present resolved to work
zealously for the success of the republican
ticket at the coming election. President
Henderson of the club , who presided over
the meeting , announced that the voters of
the ward would roll up a majority of 300 for
the republican ticket. These present de
clared that they would make good tills pre
diction.
William I. KIcrstcad , candidate for county
commissioner in the Second district , ad
dressed the meeting on the good results ac
complished by the republican commission
ers during the last year. His claims for the
election of the republican candidates for the
board were well received.
Edgar J. Cornish addressed the meeting
and found his text In the first plank of the
platform put out by G. M. Hitchcock , pop-
ocratlc nominee for congress. He said :
"This plank calls for tlie restoration of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver It Is
almost past understanding why Hitchcock
should now put this to the front as an Is
sue. Perhaps It's for the same reason that
a mother always exhibits a fondness , es
pecially marked , for a child who is weak
and sickly , if there Is one plank In the
popocratlo platform that Is in sore distress
because of the emphatic blow It has re
ceived at the hands of the voters of this
country It Is that relating to Tree stlrer.
John L. Webster , Peter W. Dlrkhauser and
Charles Winter wcro among the other re
publicans . \sho spoke on the matters to
como before the voters at the next election
and emphasized the reasons for supporting
the ttholo republican ticket.

leased after arraignment , her bondsman
being Frank Dandle , the clear dealer. A
younger sister of Mrs. Bishop's victim was
an Interested spectator of the proceedings.
If there is one thing above another that a bald-
headed man likes it is
DANDERINE ! The Ladies Like It , Too !
BECAUSE IT BRINGS RESULTS !
Some eay "it's the friction that induces the hair toT

grow : What is the reason others do not get results
from friction ?
Users will find that Danderine differs widely from the
old line preparations. Its action upon the scalp is what does
the work.It makes the scalp healthy , and a healthy scalp
will produce healthy hair ; that's the whole secret. For
