He ranked high as a pitcher" and gained much renown by nis ciever performances at tne nation b capital. , The old battery, Mercer and McGuire, so well known by the cranki throughout the land, hag lost Its flrint gun.

"If I get on a fight with Munroe. will 'expect to jab htm until I . put him out of business," says "Kid" McCoy, If I would set myself and try to win by landing one knockout blow. I might get the worst of It, as did Jeffries. never lost a tleht In my life until changed my tactics from Jabbing and tried to win a battle with one swing.

Just why the referee made a ruling of this kind. when Gans had the better of the bout. is a question for the official to explain, It Is possible that the boxers might have entered Into an agreement that if both were on their feet at the end of the tenth round the bout should be a draw. If buca an agreement was on. the decision is all right; but otherwise it appears as If Oans was up against It. unless the affair was a. fake. The fol lowing night Oans met Ous Gardner and again the lightweight champion bad' no chance for a knockout; because , Ous sprinted' all around the ring, and when he wasn't sprinting he was hugging the colored man, to avoid punishment. match between Matty Matthews and Oans will show the calibre of the cham pion, as Matthews will not indulge in sprumng . ..tactics, '-. vijaU-Uw'-, Tanners' Boxing-Benefit.

"The Railroads do not want Ankeny any more than they want John L. Wil son, or some other man who will do their bidding, but they do want the support that Ankeny is able to bring them in the battle against the railroad commission bill, being pushed by Governor Mc Bride, of the 'State of Washington, and his friend, Harold Preston." The above expression shows the way George W. Ba-bcoek, formerly Mayor of tne Ulty of Walla Wallo. who is now a guest at the Hotel Perkins in thl city, looks at the political BiUmtlou.ln the State of Washington. They .need Ankeny's help, and they need his money. He will have to loosen up . to win." Mr. Babcock Is a capitalist "and Is spending a few weeks In Portland be fore going on to Olympla, the capital of his, state.

"They want to down 'the commission bill," said Mr. Babcock. "ana will do anything' and -everything lir-their power to up so. That Is why the railroads are sticking to Ankeny. He has a certain personal following that they need, and need very badly. But they cannot de feat the commission proposition. The people have called for It, and it Is in the air. It has simply got to be." Mr. Babcock owns a great deal of property in Walla Walla and the sur rounding country. In speaking of con dltlons he said the farmers were not too well pleuBed with the outlook for the coming year. "A great deal of grain sown In the heavier lands will have to be re-seeded, because of dry-rot. Mildew has been another factor in the destruction of seed wheat. . Of course, the so-called winter wneat, when it Is killed, does not mean a total failure of the land to Droduce. but it floes mean the loss of 'the money spent in planting the -first crop, and wheat seeded in the spring never yields as heavily as that sown in the fall." -Mr. Babcock Is' paying careful .atten tion to newspaper accounts of the doings at Orympia,' But floe --not believe the stories that Mr. Ankeny has gained any marked advantage.

HARD FIGHT WITH DREAD CONTAGION During January, 1902, there we're 30 coses of smallpox treated at the pest house. Present indications would war. rant the conclusion that at the present rate with which cases are coming In, the record for January, 1903, may surpass that or last year. The Health Depart ment is by no means asleep, but is ex erting strenuous efforts to get the dls esse under control. Every member of the department Is on the jump from early morning until late at night, and their la bors aro being crowned with success It cannot be said that all the rases are of a mild form, neither are they all es pecially malignant. The cold weather of late has a tendency to make the disease develop rapidly. There are 18 cases at the pesthouse now. . .... lJB...iiiersdorff, tne Health Commission er; yesterday removed a man from one of the river boats to the pesthouse, who was suffering from the dread disease. He, to gether with a deputy, took the precau tion to vaccinate the crew, comprising or 10 persona It Is not alone smallpox which the Health Department has to combat, but also scarlet fever, typhoid, diphtheria and ether disorders. The department.ls handi capped by lack of a staff sufficiently large to do the work, which entails heavy labor upon those already engaged. An- ctlw handicap Is the lack of sufficient fumigating apparatus, although two new machines were recently added to the equipment. Under all the circumstance, the Health Department deserves praise for Its speedy action. - READ ALL OF THIS You Never Know the Moment When This Information May Prove of Infinite Value.
