STUART KEEPS J.OT UNTIL TONIGHT WILL HE TELL , WHEN THE BIG EIGHT IS TO OCCUR. \ ALL IS QUIET AT EL PASO. PI Kit's EYES ARE STEADILY IM PROVING— FITZ IN FIRST-CLASS CONDITION. (GOV. THORNTON SORE AND ANGRY. Declares That the Insinuations That He Was Aiding the Fighters Are False. EL PASO, Tex., Feb. 19.— fight was practically asleep today, the only point of interest in it being the condi tion of Maher's eyes, and of them the report was as it has been for the past three steadily improving. Fitz simmons remained quietly in his quar ters all day, and gave the numerous Mexicans and rangers who watched him every time he leaves the house a chance to rest themselves. He is doing only very light work, in order to keep himself in first-class condition. He is certainly in superb shape, and reiter ated today his firm belief that the fight would be a short one, and that he would be an easy winner inside of five rounds. Jack Everhardt went over to Fitzsimmons' quarters today to help him train, and will probably be one of his seconds in the ring. Considerable merriment was caused at Stuart's headquarters today by a story from Galveston that the fight would be on barges in the Gulf of Mex ico, off that city. It was to be fought before the kinetoscope and a few wit nesses only. The plan was never thought of here until wired from Gal veston, and the impossibility of the kinetoscope taking photographs if the .water was in the least rough is alone enough to put the plan out of the ques tion. All sorts of rumors are afloat as to the location of the battle ground, but Stuart is keeping his own counsel, and not until tomorrow night will any Information be given as to the location and the time of the departing train. Buck Connolly came in from Las Cruces tonight and reported Maher as being much improved. He said his man would be down on the 10 o'clock train tomorrow morning and would be ready to enter the ring at any time after his arrival. He was not inclined to be communicative regarding Maher's general condition, but Dick Plunkett, who came in from the'Maher camp with Connolly, declared Peter was in excellent shape and strong as an ox. His eyes, according to Plun kett, are somewhat inflamed, but his general condition is excellent. . FINALS AT HOBOKEN. Some Great Curling; Done in Yester dayta Games. HOBOKEN, N.

Declares That Delegate Catron's In ' sinuations Are False. SANTA FE, N. M., Feb. 19. — The charge made by Delegate Catron at Washington, that Gov. Thornton, of New Mexico, was acting in collusion with Dan Stuart to have the prize fight ccme off in New Mexico, before the re cent act of congress in regard to prize fighting was passed, continues to be the subject of much comment jin this territory. The governor, in an interview, said that he was indignant at the uncalled for conduct of the delegate. He de clared that, while he recognized the weakness of his legal position, he had left no stone unturned to prevent the fight coming off in New Mexico; that his correspondence with the j attorney general was on record at Washington, showing that he had both telegraphed and written, asking for the aid of sol diers to assist the civil authorities, prior to any congressional action; that over a month ago he had written to the district attorney of Donna Ana county, and the. district attorney of Grant county, directing them to use their utmost endeavors' to prevent; the law's violation. -• Her had- also 'written to Judge Bantz asking for advice and co-operation in the matter; consulted with the solicitor general and United States Attorney Hemingway, and had put all the machinery of -the law in motion to be able to prevent the prize fight. While the punishment was only a fine, he realized the danger of the fight being brought off here in spite of his efforts, as there is a strip of coun try eighty-five miles in length, extend ing from El Paso to Deming, where j there is no settlement whatever, and the pugilists and their friends could board a train in El Paso, go up the road fifty miles, and fight before it j would be possible to get officers on the ground. This they were not afraid to do while j the penalty was a simple fine. The I governor also stated that he gave the j associated ministers at El Paso the in formation of the absence of any legis- | lation, either federal or territorial, to | properly protect the territory, which \ information the ministers' - association wired to Congressman Cockrell, which doubtless resulted in Mr. Catron intro ducing his bill. The governor says he defies Mr. Catron or any other man to produce an iota of evidence where he has neglected to do his whole duty in ! this matter, or to show any complicity with the prize fighters. "I think," con tinued the governor, "that Mr. Catron deserves great credit for pushing the bill, but I object to his misrepresent ing my position in order to glorify him self." ■ - ■ 1 Mankato's Ball Team.

NO DIFFICULTY EXPERIENCED IN RAISING ALL THE MONEY _ . NEEDED. •'•-.7->Vv: HEADQUARTERS AT ST. LOUIS Will Be Opened at the Llndell, hut No Candidate Will Be In dorsed. CHICAGO. Feb. 19.— The next con vention of the Republican National league will be -held at Milwaukee, Aug. 25, 26 and 27. Instead of leaving the selection to the meeting of the exec utive committee, a ballot was taken last month by correspondence, and Mil waukee won out by an overwhelming vote, and today the executive : commit tee formally ratified the selection. The meeting of the executive committee is held for the purpose of securing money to carry on the campaign this year. - Hitherto there has been no -lack of funds, or rather very little difficulty in securing all the money needed, and no * effort has been made until today : to arrange for the financial end :of the work. Secretary Dowling says that there is no definite plan before the committee. The work will be con cluded with a session tonight. At the afternoon session the mem bers set about raising funds to . carry on the campaign of . '96. New York came forward with a cash subscrip tion, and was followed at once by other states. It soon became apparent that all financial difficulty would be overcome. At this juncture a telegram was -received from the attorney of the league congratulating the meeting on the successful outcome of a suit which has been pending since 1888 in Albany, by which the league is given $17,000, which it had sued to recover on a lit erature contract. A telegram of sym pathy was sent to James H. Manley, of Augusta, Me., a prominent mem ber of the league, regarding the death of his wife. The secretary was in structed to distribute 10,000 copies of T. B. Waller's tariff pamphlet. It was decided to open headquarters : for the league at the Lindell hotel, in St. Louis, and it is expected that there will be a large attendance of league members at the convention. A general meeting of the league will be held in the convention hall the night of June 16, but the league will not go pledged to . any candidate, and will only work for general Republican interest. In regard to the Milwaukee conven tion, a committee on rates was ap pointed, consisting of John Goodnow, M. J. Dowling, O. L. Rosenkranz, and one on securing speakers, consisting of Messrs. McAlpin, Goodnow, West, Baxter and Dowling. Reports on the general work of the league in the dif ferent states showed good working or ganization in all the states except Cal ifornia, and the. secretary was instruct ed to organize that state at once. The state of lowa claims to be the best or ganized of any of the states, with 700 clubs in good standing. lowa's scheme of organization has been gener ally adopted by the league in the other states. CARLISLE'S LETTER Gives Cold Comfort to Kentucky : Free Silver Democrats.. '- FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 19.— 1n re ply to Democratic members of the legislature, who are supporting the Democratic caucus nominee, and who appealed to Secretary Carlisle to urge the five Democrats who oppose Black burn to join them ln their support, the following letter was received from Sec retary Carlisle: ~:7*77^: 7';x7'^ "Washington, Feb. 7, 1896.— Gentlemen: Your telegram, in which you appeal to me 'to request and urge the Aye Democratic members of the general assembly who are not supporting the nominee, to Join with us (you) in voting for him' was duly received and. has been given the careful consideration which Its object and the number and char acter of its signers demanded.

LADIES WHO ATTEMPT TO SPEAK ARE ROUNDLY ' HISSSED. . ALL THIS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS; In the Evening the Public Are Ad mitted and Everything- I* Lovely. WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.— The sec ond day's session of the Daughters of • the American Revolution was held be hind closed doors, much to the disap pointment and dissatisfaction of the ladies. Notwithstanding . this, what transpired during the day was learned. Considerable discussion ensued at the morning session on a motion to em ploy counsel for the board of man agers,. and many of the ladies thought \ they ought to secure a man to perform special duties. There was some objec tion and it was argued that the rules and constitution of the society forbade it. Finally the' board was authorized to employ counsel if necessary. A new office, that of vice president general, who is to preside in the absence of the president general was created. The afternoon session is described as having been rather turbulent and none but members were admitted. Nearly the entire afternoon was spent in a discussion of the society magazine, "The American Monthly." This is the exponent of the organization, but many of the daughters are dissatisfied with the present management. Several res olutions were offered protesting against Mrs. Lockwood, the editress, but no action was taken and a resolution was passed granting her $1,000 a year as editor. During this discussion, Mrs. Wittenmeyer arose to object to the methods by which business was being transacted. While she was speaking efforts were made to drown her voice and she was finally hissed down. She made her protest Immediately after ward, however. A motion that all the reports submitted to the congress be revised and edited before being pub lished in the society organ, brought forth strong talk. The motion was op posed by Mrs. Donald McLean and she also was hissed into her seat but taking the platform she made her ex planations and won her point. The evening session was a. public one, Mrs. Hinkle presiding. Miss Edna Doe opened the programme with a song and was followed by ten-minute reports from sixteen of the state regents on the progress of the work accomplished during the last year. ; !'■ ~ — : — ' "■■■•*■ ■"*- , I 'Consumers as well as dealers can buy their groceries by box at wholesale cost while our removal sale is on.

WASHINGTON. Feb. ,19.-If Mr. Hannis Taylor, United States minister to Madrid has. as is reported on the authority of a Spanish newspaper, addressed a curt note to the Spanish government demanding an ex planation of an attack made upon the United States, in an address delivered ■•- by Senor Convas before a geographical society, then the minister has acted entirely upon his own responsibility, for nothing of the subject mat ter of the complaint is known at the state department. It is felt here that the facts cannot be as represented, or at least there must be other facts not stated in . the cable dispatch for our minister would not, It Is assumed, base an official complaint upon an address entirely lacking, as this appears to have been, in official character. It is not presumed here that our ministers abroad can take cognizance of all criticisms passed upon their country by individuals, before private gatherings. Senor Convas, in the address in question asserted that the moral atmosphere of the United States , was very defective and that family relations lacked much that was to be desired. Education, he also sitated, while widespread, was only on the surface, and American politicians, he added, have no pres tige. He concluded with the remark that in America everything is sacrificed to the al mighty dollar and that business and the ma terialities of life drown all noble sentiment. MADRID, Feb. Admiral Beranger, min ister of marine, has made an investigation as to the circumstances of the address delivered by Senor Convas. The latter has denied the accuracy of the extracts of his lecture, which were published in the press, and has said there was nothing in it offensive to Amer ica. The government has offered Hannis Tay lor, United States minister,- satisfactory as surance of its sincere friendship for the American nation. It is believed that the In cident has thus been ended. LONDON, Feb. 20.— A dispatch to the Standard from Madrid says that Don Antonio Canovas del Castillo, the premier, has de termined to ask Senator Convas to write a GIVEN AWAY • Consisting of one sheet of FARM BUILDINGS and one sheet 5 of 78 Subjects, DOMESTIC ANIMALS, etc. These are to c please the children.

PAUL GLOBE OFFICE THRONGED WITH "VISITORS. . \■ - ■ Attracted There by the Offer of a Present of Kickapoo * Indian Oil. In spite of the terrible cold of yes terday- 3,984 people passed through the St. Paul Globe office, and each of them received absolutely free a bottle of Kickapoo Indian Oil, also a package of the famous - Kickapoo Indian Worm Killer. ■* This Kickapoo Indian Oil, which the agents of the Kickapoo In dian Medicine Co. are distributing ab solutely free, is composed of - oils, bal sams and gums of the forest. It is in every way perfectly harmless, and yet remarkably efficient in the rapid 'man ner in which it cures all aches and pains. ■ 7*fßs>S9E&if-s£9B Although the Kickapoo Indian Med icine Co. manufacture several other remedies of national repute, such as their Kickapoo Indian Sagwa for the blood, stomach, kidneys . and liver, Kickapoo Indian Cough Cure, Kicka poo Indian Ointment, etc., etc., yet the two remedies that they are giving away are probably the best they could have chosen to quickly demonstrate the value of their medicines, and this, too, at a time of year when many are suf fering from such troubles as Rheu matism. Neuralgia Sciatica, Lumbago, Backaches, Earaches, Headache, Chil blains, Frostbites, to say nothing of sprains, strains and bruises resulting from falls .on the ice, and the many other : ills particularly common during the winter months, as well as cuts, burns and all surface Inflammations. As hundreds of people can testify who have had occasion to use Kicka poo Indian Oil during the past few ; days for pains and aches of various degrees' of intensity, the effect Is al most magical. Many who have . appeared at the St. Paul Globe office, and then and there applied the oil to a rheumatic wrist, an aching ear, a throbbing head or neuralgic neck, and within less. time than It takes to tell it their pains and aches vanished like mist before the summer sun. * ■ One- case of peculiar interest that came to the attention of the reporter who stood on the outskirts of the crowd taking note of many little In stances always common at such a gathering, was of a woman who told a story of how two days before she had procured. a bottle of the Kickapoo Indian Oil and had taken it home to her husband who had been confined to his bed for weeks with Rheumatism, unable to work, thus cutting off their only means of support She described how, when he began to improve after one application of the remedy, the pain would leave him, returning at longer and longer, intervals. Realizing that more than an outward application was necessary in order to effect a perma nent cure, she had returned, hoping that possibly she could obtain also a bottle of their famous Kickapoo In dian Sagwa, that great blood remedy, which makes the existence of disease almost impossible. When informed that they were not giving this away tears came to her /eyes, for during six long-arid weary weeks of sickness their scanty supply of money had been quickly. vanishing, though. i eked out by her own heroic efforts. A sympathiz ing gentleman in the crowd stepped up to her, and, drawing from his pocket a dollar, told her to go to the nearest drug store and procure the much cov eted medicine, and at the same time assured her that he believed it would restore her husband to perfect health. ' Such incidents are constantly occur ring, and the hundreds of people who return cannot say too much in praise not only of the Kickapoo Indian Oil, but all the other remedies, which they have been led to buy after having been convinced of the great efficacy of this potent remedy. Remember that there are but two days longer that Kickapoo Indian Oil will be distributed free. * If .there, is any one in this city who has not ..received a bottle of this won derful, medicine, we advise them to call at once' and secure some before this, an opportunity * of a life time, has passed forever.
