DIVISION OF THE PUSSE
vety-FlTe Per C 0a the
Wlaaer Clah MaUlag th Best
Off to Seear th
Fight.
NEW TORK. Oct. 29. Jck Johnson and
James J. Jeffries (the negro Insisted that
8 present champion, his name should go
first) signed articles In New Torh late thin
afternoon binding them to fight forty-five
rotirda to a finish, not later than July I,
1910, before the club offering the beat fin
ancial Inducement, the winner to take a
aide bet of $10,000 and eeventy-flve-per cent
of the purse, the loser to take twenty-five
per cent.
The preliminary discussion was scheduled
for 8 o'clock In the banquet hall of the
hotel Albany. Jeffries and tya manager
were punctual to the minute, but Johnson
elbowed his way diflderttly through the
crowd ten. minutes lat... At the table, as
the men tonk their places, sat Jeffries,
with Bob Vernon at his left and Bam
Berger. his manger, at his right. Johnson,
George Consldlne. "Honest John" Kelly,"
Bam Harris. Samuel Nelson. Bob Murphy
and other well known sporting men.
Jeffries eyed the negro curiously, but
did not meet his glance. Johnson was af
fable, but showed his nervousness by his
frequent grins and his constant clicking
of two red dice, which he carried half con
coaled in the palm of Ms right hand.
Negotlatloas Begla.
Both principals posed for the photo
grapher and when the smoke of the flash
lights had cleared, promptly got down to
business. Jeffries let Berger do his talk
ing, but Johnson broke in frequently on
his manager with suggestions and objec
tions, nevertheless It was remarked as the
articles took form, that Jeffries waa win
ning neariy every point for which he con
tended. It was agreed without dispute that the
men would box for the "heavyweight
championship of the world." At this
point Johnson 1 Insisted that the present
champion's name should precede the re
tired undefeated champion's name In the
written agreement. To this Jeffries quickly
assented. Berger then suggested that the
fight go to the club making the highest
responsible bid within the next thirty days.
Little agreed, but Johnson, shaking his
head dubiously, asked that each bid be
accompanied by a $6,000 forfeit, as a guar
antee of good faith. Jeffries nodded and
Berger gave his assent.
So far it had been easy sailing, but when
the question of a referee was raised, the
crowd edged forward expectantly. Little,
for Johnson, wanted to name his choice.
For the first time Jeffries broke In.
"Let the club that gets the bid have a
word." he ordered. "They've got as much
at stake as we have. Let it wait."
Little was for arguing the point, . but
Johnson wae all conciliation. "Well, let it
go," he urged, "that's all right."
Fight to a- Flalah.
The number of rounds was next in order
"So far as I go." said Jeffries, "I don't
care if it's six, ten, twenty or a hundred
rounds; but I know what the public wlil
demand, and 1 am going to see they get It
It means a finish."
At this the crowd cheered until Bob Mur
phy had to outroar them for order. But
Johnson was not satisfied. He feared - a
Ban Francisco club, where only twentv
round bouts are allowed, might get the bid,
and in that event ' Insisted that twenty
rounds should be specified.
"Then 'Frisco won't get the fight." n
nounced Jeffries decisively. "Make It
forty-five rounds or more." Swallowing his
objections, previously voiced, .the negro
agreed volubly. I
There was still the rock on 'vhlch most
agreements split the division o the purse.
To the surprise of the crowd both men said
that they were willing to fight, winner take
, all, or 0 and 40 per cent, or 75 and 23 per
cent, and on the latter basis It was (tattled.
The side bet caused more difficulty.
Jeffries wanted to wager $20,000. Johnson,
more cautious, offered $6,000. Little, his
THE DOCTOR AtlD
HIS riOOtlG MAIL
It Is a Great Pleasure to Open Dozens
of Letters from Grateful
Tatients
TELLIXa CF CHEAT IMPROVEMENT
I'nited Doctors Receive Many Such
Letters. Hundreds of Testl
inonlals Come by Mall.
There ta a certain pleasure and feeling
f expectancy which anyone feele upon
opening a letter. Whether It la a love
letter, a friend's letter, or a business let
ter It is always eagerly opened.
The mall wbicli comes to the United
Doctors, those great medical specialists
who have their Omaha Institute at 20
Neville block. Is perhaps the most Inter
esting and wholly pleasant stack of let
ters that cornea to any address In the
city. The United Doctors' mall consists
almost wholly of letters of praise and
commendation from curad patlenta, or pa
tients who are getting well and write to
tell how much better they are feeling. It
contalas letters from women, Utters from
men, letters from fathers, mothers, busi
ness men, farmers, lawyers and from
persons of all ages and all walks In life.
But the theme U always the same ''I
ur.t so much better" "God bless you,
doctors" "You saved my life and made
It worth living."
One reason why the United Doctors al
ways cure their patients is that they are
very careful to never treat an Incurable
case thus their record of cures Is always
clear and they take no money from In
curables as Is the custom of many doc
tors. The new treatment used by these
specialists cures many, who could not
even be helped by ordinary drugs. A fair
sample of the hundreds of testimonials
received by the United Doctors Is the fol
lowing: Decatur. 111., July 10. 190.
Dear Doctors: About three months ago
I catua to you after having treated with
humorous other physicians without re
uii. 1 had been ailing off and on for
Skbout ten years and It seemed aa thoush
ether doctors could not tell exactly
wiist i the matter with ma. I had
I am l.i my back which were very se
im aid my stomach and Intestines were
l:i . Uih a baa shape that It waa almost
unfuruiii ai tunes.
You tNnmin.d me and told me that you
could run me and today I feel better
t isii I nave i..r the last ten yeara. and
am aealn a well woman. I think that
any rne who 1 ailing and In the condi
tion 1 was should consult you because
you told ine the truth and your charge
unci treatment was reasonable and per
frctly satlkfactory In every respect.
I will be only too glad to answer any
personal letters or Inquiries pertaining
to my health bvcause I want everyone to
know how thankful I am and where they
can get their health after giving up all
bopo Mrs. L. P. Barnes,
u. r. d. -
manager, wanted to lay the money at
ring side odds, "as a business proposition."
As a compromise they agreed to let the
If.. 000 already posted to secure today's
meeting stand, with $K.(K) addition to be
added forwlth. Bob Murphy, manager of
the Hotel Albany was chosen as temporary
stakeholder, the final stakeholder to be
chosen by the club. 1
Now only one critical point remained:
"When would they flghtr
Date af the Fight.
As a finish fight had been agreed on.
It was the concesus of opinion at the match
makers table that either Nevada or Cali
fornia must get the winning bid. With
thirty days for the bids to come In and
sixty days more for the men to condition
themselves In, the weather at the earliest
would be too wet In California and too
cold In Nevada. Both men agreed that,
to accommodate the huge crowds to attend,
the bout must be held out-of-doors. Berger
further urged the'necesslty for ample train
ing time.
And It was formally settled that a day
"not later than July 5, 1910," be chosen.
The deal was closed.
Again the principals posed for the flash
light men, champagne was served, while
the articles were being typewritten and at
S:40 the binding signatures .were affixed
and witnessed.
TIGERS PROMISE FAIT WORK
HlHsarl Coach's Reqaeet to With
draw Negro Tackle Created.
CEDAR RAPID8. Is., Oct. 29. (Special.)
Cancelling yesterday's practice game
scheduled with Cornell college, and saving
his men from further Injuries as much as
possible. Coach Roper this evening drove
the Missuorl varsity through Its last sig
nal work preparatory to the Iowa game to
morrow. The practice was fast and snappy
and It Is now believed that If the Tigers
brace they will be able to hold the Hawk
eyes, even with injuries and a weaker
front than against Ames. Only a few new
plays, principally forward passes, have
been added to the Missouri reportolre this
week, but Roper's charges are well drilled
In what they possess and expect to counter
balance Iowa's superior weight with speed
and perfection of play.
Injuries In the Ames and Coe contests
have made Roper's task In reshaping the
team all the harder this week. It is now
certain that Hackney, the - star drop
kicker and left half, will not be able to
play tomorrow. Hall will take his place
and do the punting, and Bluck will be
pulled back to place kick when such a
play is feasible. Johnson's chest will not
permit his playing and his right tackle
position will be filled by E. Anderson.
.Shuck will replace Cove at right end, and
Kilder will take the crippled Clair's full
back position.
In response to Missouri's request, Iowa
has consented not to play Alexander, her
big negro tackle, whose work waa a feat
ure of the recent Nebraska game. Cove,
Missouri's best end, will also likely be
barred on account of the ruling of the
Chicago conference, under which the game
was scheduled, which prohibits post-graduates
to play.
The following men, with Coaches Roper
and Lowman will leave here in a special
for Iowa City Saturday morning: Rlstlne
(Capt.) center; Roberts, Thatcher, A. An
derson, guards; Bluck, E. Anderson, John
son, Oliver, tackles; Idler, Shuck. Cov,
Plxlee, Thompson, ends; Klein, Maunders,
quarter-backs; Alexander, Craln, Hackney,
Hill. Bradley, half-backs, and Wilder and
Clair, full-backs.
Betting here favors Iowa to win, 8 to
1. but a hard game Is promised, with both
teams likely to score.
TAKING OUT THE SICKER FISH
Fred Era as ta Doing- Good Work at
Carter Lake.
Fred Evans is representing the Omaha
Rod and Oun club while the big seine is
working at Carter lake. Permission has
been obtained from the fish commissioners
of Iowa and Nebraska to take out the
buffalo and carp from the lake and Mr.
Evans has the Job of watching that all
game fish are put back Into the lake.
About 1,000 pounds of buffalo and carp are
taken from the lake each day and all
bass, crapples and sun fish are thrown
back. . During the week when the seine
has been working, 600 pounds of the dls-
Slsed gar have been taken from the waters,
nr. buffalo and carp are deadly enemies
of baas and crapples. They are aucker fish
and live on the spawn of the game fish
and thus keep down the natural Increase.
The men are working with a 600 foot net.
When the four men who are operating
the net first appeared, officers of the
Omaha Rod and Oun club had them arrestei
for Illegal seining. When they showed they
had authority from the fish commissioners
of Iowa to take out the carp and buffalo
and when they consented to have a repre
sentative of the club with them at all times
to see that they did not Interfere with the
game finh, the case was dismissed. The
nets are guarded and kept at the boat
house of the Omaha Rod and Oun club and
never leaves the club unless Mr. Evans Is
along.
BELLKVUE AT HASTINGS TODAY
Bitter. Rivals Will Meet la One of
Warmest Games of Seaaoa.
Tfce Bellevito college foot, ball team !eft
yesterday on Its last tour of the season.
It went to Hastings where It will play
today.
This promises to be the hardest game of
the season. Hustings has never In its
history been able to beat Bellevue on the
gridiron and has been working to that end
for several yeara. Last year the Haatlngs
Bellevue game was the hardest Bellevue
had. So far the path Is clear for a cham
pionship season for Bellevue and the win
ning of this game will mean a great deal
toward this end.
Owing to the hard game last Satunday
the men are not In the best of condition,
several of them having been out of the
scrimmage work most of the week, but
their work has developed more speed and
It Is hoped they will be able to play a
faster game against Hastings than hereto
fore. The following la the lineup: Barry, cen
ter; Curtis. ,R. G. ; Brand. L. G.; Primrose,
K. T.; Rice, L. T.; Jones. L. E.; Mohr. R.

NIG PERRINE DROPS IN TOWN
toes to British Colamhla aad Will

Nig Perrlne, second baseman with the
Rourke'a part of the season until he was
forced to quit with a bum knee, dropped
Into the Smoke House Friday morning
long enough to ask arter all the old guard.
Inquire of Brother Dave, If he had enough
cobs on hand for the winter and then
scoot for British Columbia, where he has
some land.
Nig reported that his knee was all well
and that he would be able to report In
the spring a sound man. When he In
quired about the rest of the family, he
found that Red Fisher was running the
blilard parlor at the Millard hotel, that
Gondlng and George Graham had gone to
Grand Island to open a moving picture
show, that Dr. Welch waa out hunting
and that Schlpke was about to leave rit.

Harry Welch Wets Na backs.
Dr. Harry Welch ha returned from his
hunting; lodge on the historic Platte to
stay In Omaha a few days. Friends of the
doctor who expucted that he would bring
them some ducks were thoroughly disap
pointed. He report that the suit haa been
shining entirely too brightly for anv one
to expert to shoot ducks on the riatte

after election when he will get all the la.v
allows.
DO AN R WILL PLA1 HARD G AMR
No Hope of Willing from Nebraska
Exists Araoa Tlaere.
CRETE. Neb, Oct. 29. -(Special.) Inter
est In foot ball at Doans college centers
now In the game with the University of
Nebraska. Doane expects to mske a better
showing that It has made for several
years, and that Is all It does expect. It
will lie satisfied If It can hold down the
score to 20 or 90 to 0. If It csn score by a
chance touchdown or a ' place kick or a
lucky forward pass Is will greatlv rejoice.
All depends on what players the univer
sity sends Into the frame. If "King" Cole
tries out his substitutes he will find the
Doane team aggreslve and not easy to
beat. But he will probably put In his best
men at first to run tip a good score before
he calls on the substitutes.
Doane Is not at present In prime condi
tion. No one Is strictly on the hospital
list, but several limp and hence the team
Is not quite as fast as It wss a week or
two ago, but Doane has so many players
this year that good substitutes are easily
found for the veterans. Two full teams
practice every nlKht In scrimmages and
enought players for two other teams en
gage In simple practice or stand ready to
get Into the game If chance offers. "Cody"
Clark Is determined to find the best team
among the players and pays no attention
to tradition or previous records or the
methods of former coaches. He la coach
now and he haa no favorites. He has been
shifting men about and trying new men In
different positions. He Is holding Luke at
center, trying Bronson. Sawyer and Horn
ing at guard. Is about settled on Arnold
and Perry at tackle. Is experimenting with
Hartwell, Tully, Mlckle, fa. Griffiths and
Knlow aa enda, and haa two well developed
back fields, for first: Wllklngson, quarter:
Dutch or Bnlow and Holbert for half
backs and Wildhaber for full back; for
second: Cowan, quarter; R. Dickinson and
Wendland, full back, and Korab, full
back.
Probably forty or fifty students will
acoompany the team to Lincoln and, as
Doane has many friends and graduates
there , there will be a respectable rooting
squad to cheer on the Doane players as
they strive to play a better game than
they have done for several years.
PSYCHOLOGY OF RIGHT TRAINING
Coach Griffith Will Not Have Nerves
of Men Wrona-ht Up.
IOWA CITY, la., Oct. 29 (Special. )
"Psychology." This Is the simple answer
given by Coach John C. Griffith for not
having his team appear at a big student
mass meeting of the Iowa students tonight
to stir up enthusiasm over the Iowa-Mls-sourl
contest tomorrow.
Coach Griffith fears that the men's
nerves, stirred by the cheering in the audi
torium, will suffer a reaction before the
game, that It will disturb their rest that
night, and that It often creates too much
confidence In their ability.
This year Griffith has started an innova
tion into Iowa training history. On the
day before the game he Insists that the
men think of everything with the exception
of foot ball. Anything connected with the
gridiron Is a "tabooed" subject on Fridays.
Complete rest and recreation does more for
a team Is the theory of the Hawkeye coach
and his first test of the new theory lait
week worked wonders with the men. Heavy
signal practice with the regular lineup
working marked last night's practice. The
team will be in fair condition tomorrow.

GRINNELL. Ia.. Oct St rHnll i
The unique spectacle of a foot fall squad
running through formations by moonlight
Is presented nightly at Ward field this
week, where Coach Dougherty Is putting
the last touches on the Grlnnell college
gridiron machine In preparation for the
struggle with Drake at .Hasklns' stadium,
Dee Moines, Saturday. . There Is no deny
ing the fact that the scarlet and black ag
gregation is poor on defensive foot ball,
and If their work In the "dress rehearsals"
of the past fortnight are any criterion they
are due for a beating at the hands of their
ancient rivals or the blue and white camp.
Little hope Is expressed or felt of a vic
tory, but despite the discouragement a
large crowd of loyal supporters will ac
company the team in its trio to the canltal
city.

of ordinary "white mule or tiger's milk," as
that Justly famous beverage, made of water
and proof spirits, Is known.

Eight Hundred
Speakers Busy in
New York City
Bannard Telli Number of Audience!
He ii Not an Advocate of Dis
regard of Law.
NEW YORK, Oct 29 With New York's
municipal election only three working days
dlatant, there wae a general summing up
of Issues tonight by the 00 speakers who
presented the causea of Oaynor, Bannard
and Hearst to audiences In every corner
of Greater New York. Gaynor, speaking
four times to audiences In Brooklyn, Man
hattan and the Bronx, returned to his plea
for greater personal liberty, the abolition
of police "cxarshlp" and liberality in the
enforcement of minor laws.
Bannard, the republican candidate, told
even mass meetings In New York and
Brooklyn that he stood "first, last and all
the time for a business administration In a
Tammany-free city." Incidentally, how
ever, the republican candidate took up the
cudgels with Mr. Gaynor on the personal
liberty question. "I do not com before
you to recommend the violation of laws or
to countenance the violation of laws, and
If personal liberty means any such thing
as the overriding of law, I am firm against
that I am no crank and I stand for no
oppression or refinement of purltanlsm. If
I am elected mayor, I want It understood
that people of all creeds, races, colors or
political beliefs must alike observe the
laws but that these will be enforced not
oppressively, but with sympathy and toler
ation. "Beware the candidate who tells you
that he will not enforce the laws. He la a
dangerous demagogue, and his position In
this matter Is bound to lead to graft of the
worst and most widespread character."
Hearst the third candidate for the may
oralty, was silent tonight but his follow
ers, In ten mass meetings, kept the fires
burning. At each meeting a long banner
which hung above the stage, bearing the
words, "down with the bosses of both
parties," furnished the text for the speak
ers. The campaign manager for all three
candidates again expressed their confidence
today in the result of the election. There
was evidence, however, that the leaders
believe that the race is closer than their
forecasts would Indicate. In all three
camps It was announced that the speech
making and campaigning would continue
practically up to the opening of the polls
at o'clock Tuesday morning.

the you.ig woman who Is In advance of her
time; the American woman who haa been
the helpmeet of the pioneer and who haa
helped man develop the frontier," he con
tinued. "I would speak of the woman who haa
Inspired man to deeds of heroism, who has
been his Inspiration while in battle, th
bright and lovable woman of modern times.
I would speak of the educated woman who
is not an innovation 'of the present hut
who has been coming Into 1ier proper
sphere for the last hundred years."
The senator then told of the wonderful
growth and development of this country
and ended by saying that woman was re
sponsible for more than half of that
growth and development during the last
fifty years.
"The young man and the yotrhg woman
of thla country have gone hand In hand,
each reapectlng the other and this mag
nificent country Is the result"

WASHINGTON, Oct 29. Th vacancy on
the bench of the supreme court of . the
United States caused by the death of Asso
ciate Justice Rufua W. Peckham of New
York is the subject of most of the gossip
In Washington Just now. It Is, popularly
rpeaklng, the most Important matter which
will confront President Taft upon his re
turn to the national capital.
The lattat "fiame-up" of well-Informed
prophets here tonight names Horace H.
Lurton of Nashville, Judge of th United
States circuit court In the Sixth circuit,
as most probably Justice Peckham's suc
cessor, with Solicitor General Lloyd W.
Bowers of the Department of Justice as the
probability for the next vacancy In the
court Mr. Bowers Js thought by many
to stand a very good chance of getting
this one.
Judge Lurton sat on the same judicial
bench with Mr. Taft and was th latter's
choloe for the vacancy that waa later
filled by the appointment of William H.
Moody of Massachusetts. Mr. Taft waa
secretary of war when he made the recom
mendation of Mr. Lurton to President
Roosevelt, and waa. It Is said, very much
disappointed when his old associate and
intimate friend was not appointed. Mr.
Lurton Is now about 62 years old and
would have ten years to serve before re
tirement. President Taft has In the past expressed
some decided views about geographical
limitations In appointments to that body.
He has taken the position that It is a
question of fitness and of strength of per
sonnel rather than of states and circuits
