a handsome young woman; her husband,
his brother Benjamin. 32 years' old, and

Benjamin Knott, who la under $1,000 bond
to appear a a witness. The complainant
in the case Is Henry Rosenthal, senior
member of a mercantile firm In this city.

fession made to the police by two of the

he was surprised In the room of Mrs.
Knott, In one of the most fashionable
apartment houses of the" city, by her hus

One hot afternoon last June in Reno.
N'ev.. when the sun was emptying hot
Musts from Its gigantic retorts over the
brown fields and the Irrigation ditih
through which the Water gurgled with the
Mii.v suggestion of comfort near Johnson's
training quaitera. the big black athlete,
now champion, aat Idly on the veranda of
the madhouse which was his temporary
abiding place.
"Who Is going to whip you In case you
whip Jeffries?" said . one of the group,
who were making merry while awaiting the
elusive motor cars which ran between the
city and the camp. .
"Nobody," was the laconic reply.
"What, nobody? Do you think you're
Invulnerable?"
"Spill- that ono again, mlstuh. I don'
Just find It In muh dictionary."
"Do you mean to say that you will die
a champion, that nobody can beat you If
you put Jeffries out of tho way of your
Immediate aspirations?"
IMenaed with the Words.
"I ce'talnly do like those words." was
the quick reply. "They put a shine bvun
the las' lot I heard when they arrested me
tho las' time fur runnln' muh speed wagon
too fractlouslessly, an' what I mean to
say is this, they ain't nobody In sight, muh
boy, that's goln' to beat me If I beat this
white man. I don't . know about dyln' a
champion. I nevuh give much thought to
that mattuh of dyln'. They keop me too
bnsy trying to keep 'alive. Hut I ain't
goln' to be licked by no man flghtln' now
If I put Mlstuh Jeffries on de shelf."
"Would you give the championship up If
you retained It a long time?"
"I don't kndw," said the negro slowly.
"I really don't know. I ain't got It yet,
but I got a chance, an If I should get It
I really don't know. Mebbe, If I fought an'
fought for It, an' I hadn't been licked, an'
my old bones began to creak, an' this big
arm" stretching forth his right arm and
contract'ng tho muscles "It Is a pretty big
arm, olnt it. an' this big arm should begin
to get a little stiff, like I had toted too
many cotton bales along the levee, an'
should begin to go back on me, I might
give it up."
"Do you think It would be right to give
It up?"
Cites Jeffrlea.
"Why not, when you come to think of
It why not? Ain't a champion a law unto
himself. That's what that Judge told me
the last time they held me up for speed
ing muh car. He said that I thought that
I was a law unto myself. I like that Judge.
He done give mo something to think about.
Didn't Jeffries give It up? What's to pre
vent me, if I get It. Of co'se, I know you
gentlemen done think I ought to fight for
It. Meb'be I had, but I've been a long
time goln' aftuh It, an' when I fight, I'm
goln' to know who I'm flghtln,' an' If I
fight, I'm goln' to go In to win, Jes' as I'm
gnln' to go In to win against Mlstuh Jef
fries. Hut mind one thing," said the smil
ing nogra, as he rose and stretched him
self, lazily, a little gleam of fire shooting
from his musing eyes, "they ain't no
fighter flghtln' now who's goln' to beat
'Jack' Johnson If 'Jack' Johnson beats
Mlstuh Jeffries. They got to grow a new
ono an' I'll be here' If they .grow him
quickly enough." ,
Yet If Johnson has "travelled the pace,"
as the saying goes, which brings forward
reports that he la suffering from a ner
vous breakdown, or likely to suffer one,
perhaps the prediction which he made on
the veranda of the roadhouse at Reno, with
Its motley crowd around the grounds and
scattered throughout the Interior of the
building, may not be fulfilled , as he ex
pected, k , ' . '
Tho strong point In the negro's state
ment at .that time is the absolute con
fidence which he had in himself In case he
should be successful against hut white
rival. - -
Crop Conditions in
Foreign Countries
Large Wheat Yield in Bnssia Will
, Make Revision of Estimates
Necessary.
X a m iii mm
WASHINGTON, Deo. lC.-Forelgn crop
conditions, as reported to the United
States Department of Agriculture, were
announced by the department today. In
most of the principal cereal producing na
tions agriculture during the last month
has made seasonable progress, tha most
noteworthy exceptions being in some coun
tries of western and central Europe, where
the completion of autumn seeding has been
retarded and expected Increases In areas
sown are not likely to be realised. In
Argentina and Australia harvest has begun M
In the more northern latitudes, and indi
cations suggest an export surplus from
the two sources at least larger than that
of last year. In some parts of Europe
winter has set In early and autumn seed
ings are In all probability practically
ended. Frequent torrents of rain have
thus far prevented their complutlon In
France; there much land remains unsown
and the area of autumn sown wheat Is re
garded as certain to be leas even than
that of the preceding season. In parts of
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Roumanla
and the Balkan states, a prolonged drouth
In midautuinn rendered plowing d.fflcult,
i In Borne places Impossible; althiigh be
j lated rains helped conditions, seeding la
considerably retarded, and the winter
wheal acreage of central Europe la also
expected to show a dlminuton Instead
of an increase. For the Russian wheat area,
however, an lncreaae la claimed.
Early official estimates of the 1910 wheat
crop of Europe will now need revision. The
final official estimate ol the Important
crop of Russia exceeds expectations and
puts the 1910 yield of the empire at 773,
uXI.OU) bushels, or only 10.000,000 bushels less
than the, high record output of 1W9. Jn
view of these figures. It la obvious the
total European wheat crop almost. If not
iiulie. equals the unprecedented crop of
the prev.oua season.

association." The following officers were
elected : j.
President B. B. Brooks. Casper, Wyo.
First Vice President-Colonel E. C. Pow

At the very outset today the convention
was called upon to struggle with an un
favorable condition, created, It is said, by
report sent to France by a Wyoming
official In which the local oil fields' were
condemned. An effort waa made to have
the report of this official approved, but
it waa tabled, and later the meeting will
probably pass a resolution condemning the
action of the official, and an effort will be
made to offset the bad effect of hla report
upon the Wyoming oil Industry.

HASTINGS, Neb.. Dec. U tSpeclal Tel-fgram.)-The
Nebraska Plate Base Ball
lengue will be comprised of the same cities
for the coming season, will be headed by
tho same president, will have a slightly
longer schedule of games, and will keep
the ivoo salary limit
At the annual league meeting yesterday
these decisive points of policy were agreed
to with the condition only In regard to
the schedule that the directors, when they
meet In February to make the draft for
the 1911 games, may report the shorter one
If they deem It best.
It was early decided that the cities of
Grand Island, Hastings, Superior, Red
Cltud, Columbus, Seward, Kearney and
Fremont should constitute the league for
next year. York was here to seek en
trance If an opening was afforded but no
city In the league last year desired to give
way.
It was largely through the advice of W.
A. Ilourke of Omaha that the league de
cided not to shorten its schedule. Some of
the cities had found that the September
games were the least profitable and a
plan was proposed whereby the season
should nd September 1. Mr. Rourke
gave it 'as his view that games at this
time were well attended and the league
took his advice and recommended to the
directors to frame a schedule of 112 games
beginning May 12 and ending September
12. This will be an Increase In total num
ber from 108.
In arranging the schedule the directors
were asked toplan so that eaoh team will
make three trips around the circuit, the
first trip with two games at each place,
and the remaining two trips to be three
game series. The series last season were
two games.
By resolution grandstand tickets were
fixed at 26 cents in all cities on July 4,
the charge to be optional with the clubs on
other days.
Charles 8. Sherman of Lincoln contested
with President Henry Blevers for president
of the league, but Mr. Slevers was elected,
by a vote of 6 to t.
Harry Cowton of Red Cloud was elected
vice president, and the directors are: F. C.
I abcock of Hastings, A. J. Pollock, Colum
bus; Bert Phelps, Superior.
Each team must put up a $500 forfeit by
March 1 to play through the season.
President Slevers reported that $150 In
fines had been paid during 1910.

Wabash City Ticket Office, 16th and Farnam Streets.
Now that the time for coasting and other winter sports is at
hand, we want to speak a word of WARNING, with particular
reference to COASTING.
On all streets on which there are street car tracks, and on
ail hills which cross or terminate on streets having street car
tracks, there is a CONSTANT DANGER to those indulging in the
exhilarating sport of coasting.
Men and women, as well as boys and girls, have lost their
lives, or have been seriously injured by dashing into moving
or standing cars on their sleds or travelers.
Why jeopradize your lives by coasting where the hazard is
so great, when tnere are so many places in this city of hills, where
this sport may be indulged in with perfect safety?
