very skillful in blocking and dodging
Gardner's blows and in the clinches

fight did not please the spectators and
the men in the ring were frequently
hissed when they went through a
round without apparently trying to

Referee Eddie Graney, at the close
of the contest said that it was the
worst fight he ever saw. He was forced
to give the decision to Fitzsimmons
because the latter scored the knock
downs but otherwise did no damage.

McGUIRE'8 NEW BILL
Will Increase Oklahoma City and
Guthrie Appropriations to $250,000
WASHINGTON: After a conference
with the supervising architect Taylor
of the treasury department, Delegate
McGuire announced that he would in-
troduce bills in congress to Increase
the appropriations for the public build-
ings in Guthrie and Oklahoma City to
11250,000 each.
A portion of the Oklahoma City ap-
propriation is to be used in the pur-
chase of a building site while the
building at Guthrie is to be construct-
ed on the government acre.
The supervising architect said that
it would be impossible to build a fire
proof building at Guthrie for less than
$250,000.
In regard to plans he said that he
would not attempt to draw plans for
the building to be constructed with
the present appropriation. The gov-
ernment will not allow the use of the
present appropriation for the use of
■ site at Oklahoma City.
The architect will recommend an ap-
propriation of $250,000 for both cities
and will go before the committee urg*
lng that the apropropriation*. fee- al-

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and wno
Is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that a trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it Is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be superior to
any other* brand, but because each lOo
fr.Ockags contains 16 ozs., while all the
other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It Is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
Defiance Starch will use no other.
Quality and quantity must win.
At best life is but short. Do not
make It shorter yet by rank neglect
of that cough of yours, when one bot-
tle of Simmons' Cough Syrup would
cure you. Guaranteed. Price 25 and
60 cents.
The Paraguayan orange is one of
the best on the market in Buenos
Ayres and Monteviedeo, particularly
those which are grown on the higher
portion of the country, called the Cor-
dilleras, famous for their superior
quality, sweetness and flavor.
WHICH?
A fine vestibule train is coming.
Are you ready to get aboard? If not,
there is a freight coming on behind.
If you are not ready then, you may
walk.
Young people, the same is true In
life. If you are prepared and ready
with a good practical business educa-
tion you may take the vestibule train,
where you will be surrounded with
the comforts of life. If you are not
ready, you may take the slow bumpy
freight or walk on behind with a lit-
tle bundle of clothes tied up in a rag
and swung over your shoulder.
Now begin in time, take a thorough,
practical course In bookkeeping and
Shorthand in Tyler College, and be
prepared to ride in the vestibule
train, surrounded by the luxuries of
life.
