possible for the big bruisers to give each
other all the thumping they can. The
odds in the betting are all in favot of
Corbett, which make3 it desirable that
Fitz should win, but highly improbable,

A case was tried Monday before Judge
Burnett, in Albany, which had a ludi
crous side to it. The title of the case
was Martin Johnson vs. John Anderson,
being an appeal from Justice Hawkins'
court on a Euit to recover money. Be
fore Judge Hawkins Johnson was award
ed 8. Anderson appealed the case, and
the jury Monday awarded Anderson 08
cents. The Euit was over a dispute on
an account for farm work performed by
Mr. Johnson for Mr. Anderson. They
cculd not agree and went to law. When
the case came up before Judge Burnett
there were seven attorneys engaged.
As Judge Burnett noted this array of
legal talent he said he was not quite sure
but he should fine the attorneys to cover
the smount involved, and not try it;
but the case was tried before a jury, re
sulting as stated.

DEATH OF d. N. DOLPH.
He Passed Away at IO:nO Yesterday
Morning.
Joseph X. Dolph died yesterday morn
'ing at 10:50 o'clock.
After days of suffering and suspense,
culminating in the amputation of the
left leg Monday afternoon last, the ex-
Lnited States senator and distinguished
lawyer, surrounded by his family,
passed away. The end came peacefully,
Mr. Dolph Einking inro unconsciousness
early in the morning, and remaining in
that condition until his death.
It was a gallant struggle of the dead
senator against the grim reaper, but age
and debility more than outbalanced the
iron will and determined cqprage of the
sick man. Ever since the operation was
performed it has been but by the exer
tion to the utmost of their medical skill,
aided by the remarkable vitality and
force of the patient, that Mr. Dolph's
physicians were enabled to keep the
glimmering spark of life from being ex
tinguished. With the breaking of dawn
yesterday morning, it was seen the spark
was flickering, eooh to be extinguished.
The family was summoned and tear
fully gathered around the bed of the
dying man. A last look of recognition
and Mr. Dolph sank into an unconscious
state from which he did not recover.
About the bedside were Mrs. J. N.
Dolph, Chester V. Dolph, Mr. and Mrs.
Kichard Nixon, Miss Iiuth A. Dolph,
Cyrus a Dolph, Marion F. Dolph, Henry
Villard Dolph and Mrs. C. A. Dolph,
with the attending physicians.
Slowly the dying man's heart beats
slackened. At 10:45 o'clock Dr. Cantlrorn
announced the final moment as ap
proaching, and five minutes later the
soul of Joseph N. Dolph had passed to
the great beyond.
Immediately following the death, tho
charge of residence was taken in hand
by Mr. Richard Nixon and Mr. P. S.
Malcolm, the latter past grand master
of the Masonic order, was the de
ceased, thus relieving the family of all
strain incident to callers and condoling
friends.
Just a Touch of Weather.
Yesterday was one of the most varie
gated days we have experienced for
many years. There were more kinds of
weather crowded irio pie same space
than happens jn a lifetime. The sun
shone for 'a few mlnut&sNtt a time, and
i the air was as calm as a sleeping babe ;
then in less than a minute tho wind
j would get in Its work and make the
feigns creak and the windows rattle.
4 rP I n if vain u ltMla a rwl annttt u
little, and hail a little more ; and then
the whole troupe of storm sprites would
get on the stage for a grand whoop. up
and furnish a medley that astonished
tbe oldest inhabitant. It was simply a
case of weather with tbe jim-jams.
It reminded us of a girl we used to
spark back in Illinois. It was a case of
mutual goneness, and we used to go over
to her bouse every time we got a chance,
and that was seven evenings in tbe week.
She used to rub tbe flour off ber
cheeks against our Sunday vest until we
looked liked a miller. She had a tender
little heart, almost as soft as our head,
and she had more moods and tenses than
a Greek verb. She would laugh ono
minute, and the next she was irrigating
the flour on our vest lapel with a shower
of briny tears; then her nose would
weep in sympathy and her handkerchief
would come in play; her blue eyes would
look up to ours like violets filled with
dew, and then when we just couldn't
help but kiss the tremulous rosebud lips,
she would giggle and that would start a
covey of dimples into life that would
have made Psyche die of envy ; and she
would cuddle up to our adolescent bosom
and daub more flour in the mixture, and
gurgle like a squab pigeon. And then
she would do it all over again with vari
ations.
That's the wav the weather acted veB-
terday. Winter was evidently getting
off the lap of Spring, and she didn't
want to let him go. It was a wordy and
a lachrymose farewell.
Without Statu Aid.
President Campbell and J. V. B. But
ler and Judge Flynn, regents of tho
Monmouth normal school, were at the
capitol yesterday and got tho views of
the secretary of state's duty, under the
law, toward tho Monmouth school.
The secretary of state considers the
normal school appropriations merely bi
ennial donations, and that he has no
right to recognize the schools, when the
appropriation is lacking. If this posi
tion is sustained, the normal schools are
without state aid, and, like other schools,
will have to exist on their merits, at any
rate until some future legislature again
appropriates for their benefit. The
amount the state will save in the normal
school item, upon the basis of the last
appropriation, is as follows :
Monmouth, general expenses... $18,000
Deficiency 8,520
Weston, general expenses 12,000
Purchase of laud, improvements
etc 4,000
Total $42,620

There was a commotion among the
animals in tbe winter quarters of Lemon
Brothers circus at Argentine, Mo,,
Wednesday, when ono of the monster
South American boa constrictors swal
lowed "McKinley," the only living baby
lion born in captivity. McKinley is
one of tbe twin lions that was born last
October. His mate was named
"Bryan."
"McKinley was quietly slumbering
beside the big stovo in tbe animal room,
when a boa constrictor, the biggest rep
tile In the circus, slipped from tbe box,
approached the cub lion from the rear
and was soon busy gulping him down.
The cub weighed about thirty-five
pounds and he cried lustily. By the
time the watchmen had reached the
scene, the snake had swallowed "Mc
Kinley" so that only his nose and fore
paws protruded, They tried to pull him
out, but could not and finally, with a
knife, split the boa constrictor and took
"McKinley" out of its side, not much
worse for bis experience, but moaning
piteously,
