However, tho Dr.no does not seem to be overheated in arranging matches those days, as be is gathering the coin in other ways, and will rent up. Mont H tort ing authorities agree that there are only four men now seriously to be eoiotidcred .la csoirants for the Dane's lightweight mantle.. Those men,' tones were not familiar to him: they in the order of their ability are: Jack 1 did not reenll the voice of his wife, Blackburn, George Mensic, Packey Mc- Still conceiving himself the victim of Fa Hand and Freddie Welsh. There is a dream, he again went to Bleep. It only one way to dntermino which of the i wnfi daybreak before the voice was four is entitled to a bout with Nelson 1 heard again, and this time It could not have h further elimination tourney I be Ignored. He recognised it at last and let the Battler go up against the1 os the voice of his wife In sore dls bost of tho four. Certain! v such a plan tress calling upon him. She cried: would have the enthusiastic approval of ', "George! Save me! Save me. George!" every fair minded sport in America. no BraUK uui u ucu, i.uu.i,HU6 Blackburn, in reality. Iui tho bent riir.it over- Tnat despairing cry still rang In for a battle with the champion, since he has proven that be can weigh in at Orcim rlcccucd W sir. a ft From a Terriblo Death. .Mr. Jones watt a popular young busl iwhh urn i In the city of B. Ills wife was u wouiuu of almng emotion and most dellcatit perceptions. lie t ween I tbein there existed a rare sympathy ! which extended to al! the faculties. i Mrs. Jones fell 111. and after a few weeks' aK-tuy, during which her bus ; band waited on her with a constancy j not often seen, she died that Is, she appeared to be dead. There was no question about It Id the doctors' mind. A certiorate was Issued and an under taker called In. But for the fortunate circumstance that Mr. Jones was cpV posed to embalming there would be no Ktory to tell unless it wcro of another person apparently dead who was re vived for ;i moment under the lunge of the e in h liner's knife. Saved from that fate, Mrs. Jones was laid out In her burial robe, placed In a ooffln and on the third day was burled In a re met pry some distance away. ITer Imsl.nnd was greatly affected, so much thai his relatives feared an at tack of melancholia. His uncle, wish ing to arouse his spirits and divert his attention, remained in the house the the funeral and was a , valuable witness, as it proved, of an event so astounding as to be almost beyond belief. ' ' ! For an hour or two that evening they talked chiefly about the dead and then went to bed. Mr. Jones, after tossing upon his pillow for a long time, fell Into a troubled sleep. In the middle of the night he heard a voice calling his name. "George. George!" The 133 pounds and go six rounds. He has mot Oans a number of times and the former world 'b champion could never "beaut of having beaten the Philadel phia!! In a decisive fashion ms beat Mcmsic, but McFarlcnd and Welsh al wnys sidestopped tho "old master." If MeFarland, or, in fact, anyone of tho three, refuse to meet Blackburn it will bo a public confersion that they do not want any of liio game and tho public should immediately drop them from further consideration regarding lightweight honors. As Nelson won his laurels from a negro, no such petty ex cuse as drawing the color line should lie tolerated. All four men nro natural lightweights, although Blackburn is of abnormal build and enjoys physical ad vantages of height and reach -which the others (In not possess Hut if he makes the weight l.'l.'t pounds at the appointed time thorn should be no quibble. Kelson is entitled to a rest and to ronp the fruits of his victory. Tho elimination tourney would require threo contests, if none get cold feet, and by that time tho Dane would be ready to meet tho winner. It matters little to the pride of llegewieh whether it is a Blackburn, a MrKnrlnml, a Welsh of a Memsic, they all appear alike to hun, and tho winner ca;i feel assured that the Dane will sign for ar match jn jig-timo. Prepaid Railroad Orders. "Something which is of considerable interest to the public generally and which is perhaps not generally known is the system of prepaid orders now la efToct between stations of the Southern Pacific company and all points in the United States. By means of this system tickets may be purchased at Medford from any place In the United States and mailed or telegraphed direct to tho party wishing to come here. Sleeper accommodations and small amounts of cash in connection with these tickets diay also be forwarded at the iimt time." tf t his ears. So real was It that, although be was awake and remembered per fectly the death, the funeral and all that happened In the preceding four days, he searched the room for her who had thrice called him by name. Finding that he was alone, be rush ed Into his uncle's room crying: "Get up! Get up! We must go to the ceme tery! She Is allvel She Is calling met" The uncle, skeptical as he was by nature, was carried away by Jones Impetuosity. Both men threw on some clothing, and, while one harnessed a horse to a light buggy, the other pro cured spades. Thus equipped, they drove to the cemetery at a gallop. The sun rose as they leaped out at the grave and began to dig. Mrs. Jones bad been burled the pre vious afternoon. Her husband shovel ed away the earth in a frenzy of en ergy. It was firmly fixed In bis mind that she bnd been burled alive and that be might yet be In time to save her. Inspired by hla nephew's excite ment, the uncle dug with a vigor al most as great as Jones'. ! Begrimed and disheveled, they at ' last reached the cottin and wrenched I off tho lid. Jones Bbrleked. Ills wife i was moving. She was trying feebly to turn over lu her narrow bed. She gazed at him with eyes that saw not. She was unconscious of her situation. He passed bis arms about her and uitea uer out. rue two mon removeu her from the grave, placed her In the buggy and drove home. Physicians were called lu. Under close medical care she slowly recovered. Every pre caution was taken to guard ber from the knowledge of what had happened, and all who were In the secret pledged themselves to silence lest the shock of that revelation of ber burial and resurrection might prove fatal to her, but the story leaked out later, when Mrs. Jones got about again.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC WILL DIVERT RENO TRADE KLAMATH FALLS, Dr., Dec. 19. U is now evident that the Southern Pa cific is to play a promlnont pnrt in diverting tho Lake county trade from Uh old channel via Kcno.

Tho first two places aro xn oiistcrn Klamath county, but Lakovlow it the county seat of Lake county and the center of operation for the Oregon Valley Land company, which will bring severn 1 thousand people in southern Ore gon next year. ' It is evident that tho officials of tho Southern Pacific aro after the traffic that will be caused by the land subdi vision and colonization and if the N. O. O. running northward from Reno to Alturas is not extended and better rates established it is quite likely that tho Southern Pacific will, with the as sihtaiuK'p of both Lako and Klamath counties, succeed in making Klamath Fnlls the distributing onter for all of Luke county.

Maxon at a meet ing of the council last night and was accepted. The completion of this 1 15,000 struc ture marks an important epoch in tho history of The Dalles, for the munici pality is about to remove from its old quarters into the new building. The new hity hall is one of tho most artistic and substantial buildings in the Btnte. Tho design was mado by C. J. Crandall, while the contract work was done by R. D. Maxon. The old city quarters served well and long as a meeting place for the offi cials of old Wasco couaty being built in 1859, five yeara before 'Wasco conn ty was formed from the Clackamas and Khampoeg district. The old" city hall was used as a courthouse for a number of years and was the first courtheuse constructed between the Rocky aad Cas sade mountains. MAIL CLOSES A.M.P. M.
