JEFFRIES' PROWESS
Chicago. Oct. 20 "Jofl'rieu will moot
Johnson just us booh as details for a
bout can be ai?n-ed on; and he'll knock
Jack's head off Mire."
This was the prediction made by
Sam Iloiger recently Kparrms aim
vaudeville partner with Jeffries who
paused through the city yesterday. And
his insertion was backed up ty Kd-
ward Jeffries brother of Jim who is
also on his way to New York to meet
the big fallow when he lands from the
steamer.
"That bout out west looks queer in
a good many ways" Bald Ilergcr com-
menting on the Jolmsou and Ketchel
light. "It was a mistake to send Ket-
chel! against a man so much heavier
than himself In the first place. It was
Just putting money In Johnson's pock
ets.
"Jeffries has written that the baths
at Carlsbad have done him a world of
good and that lie is coming back here
feeling 50 per eeiit better than when
he left. It's only a question of time
now before final arrangements are
made for the bout."
In case arrangements can be made
for a go in the near future Uerger
says Jeffries will probably drop any
vaudeville engagements he may have
been considering. He expects to re-
main for a few days in New York.
Football Here Friday.
The Chelsea football team composed
of ex-college pmyerB will meet a simi-
lar team o fthis city at the high school
grounds here next Friday. Both teams
are tald to be strong and a good game
is in prospect. The proceeds will be
given to the high school' team.
"Tommy" Burns Weighs 215.
Detroit Oct. 20. "Tommy" Hums
still is determined to get another bat
tie with Jack Johnson who knocked
Ketchel out last Saturday in twelve
rounds. In a letter from Sydney to
William Mcintosh in 1 tfiis city his
first manager anu oucner uiuua
says:
"1 have several deals on and I am
undecided just what I'll do yet. There
Is a good chance of me visiting Amer-
ica In a few months. 1 Bee the skunk
(meaning Johnson) can't do nmch in
America and he never will as it
isn't in him. I weigh 213 pounds now
and am In the best of health. 1 should
have had some of this weight on me
the day 1 boxed Johnson. All I want
is another chance as it is In me to
beat him and he knows it right down
in his heart. Just as (Sans did with
Nelson."
Mcintosh says that if Hums and
Johnson ever come together again.
Burns will surely clean up on the
negro.

effect that it was manifestly unfair
to pit the gigantic negro against so
small an opponent It Is said that Ket-
chel's weight was given out at 17G
when as a matter of fact he did not
scale more than lti8. according to the
information reaching this city and
that Johnson weighed more than 203
pounds which gave him an immense
if not insurmountable advantage. By
announcing that Johnson weighed 195
and Ketchel 17C more interest was
excited in the light than would have
been shown if the alleged real weights
of the imn had been disclosed. East-

Considered It
To Steal
By Associated Press.
Luke Mohonk N. Y.. Oct. 20. A
feature of the convention of the In-
dian Rights Association here today
was the address of R. G. Valentine
commissioner of Indian affairs.
'Mr. Valentine said in part:
"The people of the United States
ought to know certain things about
their Indian bureau. They know to-
day too little about the two or three
fundemental principles In the light ot
which all the multiform activities of
the Indian service fall Into well order-
ed array iii an advance toward a single
goal. In the minds of most people the
Indian service is a mere hodgepodge of
activity. Indians are going to this or
that kind of a school being allotted
i-niKlmr stock working In the woods
learning to Irrigate drawing per capi-
ta payments in some cases and rations
In others owning baiih. accounts of all
sizes from a few dollars to many thous-
ands going to church and engaging in
pagan rights dealing shrewdly with
traders or becoming an easy mark for
them developing all kinds of diseased
getting drunk and even keeping sober
loafing and making some of the best
workmen the United States possesses.
All these various activities are kept in
further confusion by the kaleidscopic
charges introduced by the rapidly de-
veloping economic and social life of
the white people scattered more and
more around and through the Indian
country.
"This apparent chaos in Indian af-
fairs is only true superficially. It is
necessary for the people at large to
understand what the fundemental prin-
cipals governing the bureau are in or-
der to assist in bringing them to the
surface and to demand of the Indian

SPORT
SOQNERS HAVE HARD
M0NIH BEFORE THEM
Norman Okla. Oct. 20. The fixt-
bn.ll team of the university of Okla
homa will have a two weeks rest be-
cause of the failure to arrange for a
game with Fainnount College of Wich-
ita. The next game will be w ith the
Cniversity of Arkansas on October 30
at Fayetteville. The Sooners were
victorious last year over tiie Razor-
backs by the score of 27 to B.
Arkansas has a better team this
year than last and it is a little doubt-
ful if the same thing is true of Okla-
homa. Next month the big contests of the
Sooners takes place and it is then that
the real stability of the team will be
tested. Starting with the university
of Arkansas two days before Novem-
ber the Sooners meet Washburn Tex-
as St. louis and Kpworth universi
ties. Only the Washburn game will
be played In Norman. The Thanks-
giving game will take place at Okla-
homa City. The stars of the Okla-
homa team this year are the two big
tackles Key Wolfe and Williard Doug
lass.

gent and forceful application."
Continuing. Mr. Valentine said that
the Indian service was today wide
open to the whole country for inspec-
tion. He said it was impossible for
him to hear and see all the good and
all the bad in the service personally
and that it was necessary ior Congress
to give him to this end a corps of thir-
ty competent Inspectors with the nec-
essary qualifications. Real superin-
tendents also were needed. These
superintendents should be big men
for Indian afairs above all is a human
business and to get good men ade-
quate salaries must be paid
"It is impossible to do two things
with the Indians" Mr. Valentine went
on "to exterminate them or make
them into citizens. Our present
course is a cross between extermina-
tion and citizenship. If we would es-
cape a disgrace greater . than any
which has attended this Indian busi-
ness yet we must stop at the beginning
of this twentieth century and think
clearly about the Indians and set our-
selves resolutely to certain clean and
high courses. The whole American
people must do this thinking and this
course which the thinking of all the
people will make clear demands of us
more than would be demanded in the
case of the backward among our own
people or In the case of the immi-
grant." Mr. Valentine then declared that the
Indian today was not yet ready to
live under a perfectly constructed and
highly developed irrigation system.
He must first be given instructions
from which he can see results and
in this way in one year many Indians
could be taught to use a highly develo-
ned irrigation system who without!
that preliminary training would for-
ever fail.
The commissioner then touched upon
the health of the three thousand In-
dians in the United States. He said
that tuberculosis and diseases of the
blood should not be permitted to
creep in among those peoples and that
liquor must be kept away from them.
What is the use of a maimed and
poisioned citizen he asked? There
should be an unexcelled Indian ser-
vice. Referring to education. Mr. Valen-
tine said all Indians should be taught
to speak the Fr.glish language to read
easily to speak objectively to write
clearly and to figure easily. For the
industrial education of the Indian the
at hand in the broader sense is the
very valuable property owned by the
Indians or given them by the govern-
ment on which they get the experi-
ence of actual life.
In conclusion Mr. Valentine said:
"If it is possible to bring these three
principles of health schools and in-
dustry to the front the Indian service
will waken into full consciousness and '
intelligence. The superintendent who
writes in for JTett to paint his building
will r.ot lie told there is no money nor
will another superintendent who tieeiW
more rations for the oid people be
told that it is the policy of the (Sox em-
inent t) discontinue rations. The
bona f'ule xxhite settler must come in.
and the land speculator must o.
lro:id powers should he given by Con-
gress to the executive officers of the
Government by which in such matters
as the allotments of Indians these of-
ficers can use their discretion.
'Finally one great force perhaps
above all others must be met and over-
come. It seems as if in many white
men there existed a different moral
code among themselves and between
themselves und the Indians. Men who
would not think of stealing from white
men apparently consider It no crime to
steal from Inrlians. This must be cor
rected.
"If the people of the United States
w ill take note of all these things these
evils would disappear in a few years
1 hey will not disappear until some
fundamental legislation is passed
Congress in response to the will of the
people."
An Atchison young man who never
had a rope tied to him and doesn
know what it means is getting ready
to find someone sitting up for him
when he gets home late at night. The
engagement will be announced next
month.
HIS WORRIES OVER
BALDHEADED MAN HAS
NEWED HIS YOUTH.
RE
fried Every Suggestion Made to Him
Used Every Nostrum and Finally
Purchased Wished-For Lux-
uriant Locks.
"I have just finished counting the
baldheaded ones here" a traveling
man dining in one of the down-town
hotels said to a Kansas City Times
reporter. ' I find that about 30 per
lent of the men are baldheaded. Do
you know you can hardly meet a man
past 40 years old who is not affected
with baldness?
"When a schoolboy I thought it fun
to see baldheaded men. When I was
16 years old I was mighty proud of
my fine growth of hair. By the time
was 30 I noticed that I pulled out
i lot every time I combed my hair
At 35 I began to read advertisements
where advantages of hair restorers
were illustrated. Two years later I
was trying to save the few locks
which fringed the edges of my ears
and the back of my bald head.
"When I first started to treat my
hair I was told that rain water was
the stuff to use. Then my yife read
In one of the women's papers that
wi water was the greatest cure for
baldness. The articie used sound ar
lament. It said all baldness Is due
to germs; that germs worK at the
oots of the hair and destroy It and
hat' when the air once falls out it
will never come in again. Salt water
was a great germicide. I tried salt
water faithfully.
"Then I saw an article In a health
magazine. It said that baldness is
oontagious. The theory seemed rea
sonable so I was more careful about
not using combs In hotels and other
public places. .
"One day my sister-in-law came tQ
visit us. I found that she was as
bald as I am. but that she wore
enough false hair to hide the fact.
"After that I surrendered to the ad
vertisements. I used seven different
inds of hair vigor In the next few
fears and continually grew balder. On
the road they began to call me
o'd baldy.' I tried shaving my head.
Quit washing it because I heard that
water took too much of the oil out
tried go'ng bareheaded until my bald
ipot was brown. I tried electric mas-
sage but to no avail. The small boys
used to throw paper wads at me in
church and call me Klisha on the
streets.
"One day when I was worrying
about my condition I happened to
think how young my sister-in-law
iooked the last time I saw her. I
?ot an Idea. I went to the nearest
ir salesman and bought a new head
of hair. It was black and wa?y like
the hair I had when I was 16 years
3ld.s I put It on and went home. My
wife was tickled nearly to death.
"I got the house to give me a new
territory. There 1 am the most pop
ular man on the load. All the dining-
room girls fight (or a chance to wait
nu me and men now becoming bald
.'oine to me with advice about selling
oods. They apologize tor suggesting
anything but they tell me that tliey
always appreciated a friendly tip
when they were young. I always thank
them and look innocent. I get a lot
of satisfaction out of my new hair.
It's mine. 1 paid for it and I never
worry any more about being bald."
The Democracy of the Desert
The democracy of the irrigated sec-
tions always impresses the newcomer.
It is due to the small farm the inde-
