OLD FIGHTER IS HAPPY

John Barleycorn.

Tonight at Auditorium.
John L. Sullivan is in town.
Imagine a man weighing 260 pounds,
standing five feet and ten and one-half

Treasuring 27 inches about the thigh,
17 above the calf of the leg-. 17 inches

Tonight.
own room at the Throop hotel, in a
good mood, and in his lingerie, if you'll
pass that word. Before him was an ar
ray of liver and bacon, great heaping
quantities of both, with plenty of dec
orations in the way of coffee, rolls, and
other breakfast perquisites. He was
manifestly happy and hungry. He got
up and shook hands, and a grasp of
his fingers threatened total destruction.
It was like a vise.
"Glad to see you!" came like a loco
motive whistle out of that big neck and
throat. It had a sound something like
an ocean storm. The rafters rattle
when John L. talks. But it is deep,
rich and clear, in fact beautiful, if
you like a bass voice. It is a dead
cinch that he won't have to wear him
self out making everybody hear in the
Auditorium tonight when he separates
himself from one of his famous mono
logues. It is a genuine pleasure to meet John
L. He can talk about everything un
der the sun with fluency. He can tell
stories, relate anecdotes, give dates in
history, and in every way royaliv en
tertain a visitor.
Stories were sandwiched in between
his bacon and liver. When he got
through he dug up a pipe, of which he
has a great assortment. He filled up
the cavernous bowl, got a good start
end then leaned back, happy and con
tented. The chair fairly groaned under
the huge mass of muscle and adipose
which ornaments the anatomy of the
oll-timf great fighter.
His head would take the prize in am
beauty show. Clear-cut. well modelled
his hair and curled mustache a silvery
while, he might pass for prosperous
fctad of a bank, or a man who tells
the trusts how to run thir business He
Plight be a mayor of a big city' A
United Plates senator's toga wouldn't
look amiss on the big fellow's physi
cal make-up.
John L. believes that Bob Fitzim
mons. the old speckled leopard, almost
a big an idol as Sullivan himself, will
ret ihe money in his fight against Jack
O Rnen at San Francisco on Wednesday
" Why?" was asked of him.
"Why," he answered back. "Because
old Bob has the punch. He has it." And
tnen John shoved out one of his pon
derous big arms, that looks almost like
the limb on a full-grown oak tree, and
exhibited the thing which fighters call
their "punch." The air fairly whistled
In the exhibition.
"But then you know," said John, light
ing up his pipe again. "I don't like to
Ray that for publication. But then I
guess it Is all right. I've got to he care
ful about my prognostications on fie-hts.
But it's Fitz for me. Jack is shiftv
But ain't Red-Top Robert, too?"
"What atiout Jeffries?" he was asked.
"Ah, there is a boy," said John iJ.
"But I don't blame him for not fighting
any more. It is hard work .the hardest
kind of work. Not many of the bovs
are stuck on the fighting game for itself.
itS. haa licked 'em all. Hs is making
money now. He certainly is a great
one."
"What about Jim Corbett?" was
asked.
"He talks about fighting again," was
the answer. "I guess he is afraid thai
people will forget that he is alive. He
is a fine boxer, but not a fighter. I don't
say this because he got me, though."
"What about the fighting game in
general?"
"Oh," was the answer, "I guess the
business is about over. Ltfts of states
are stopping it. Then, too, many of the
boys are doing their scrapping through
the newspapers instead of in the ring."
"How do you keep yourself in such
good condition?" he was asked.
"I've quit the booze," he replied. "1
haven't taken a drink for months, and
what is more I'm not going to take any
for a long time to come. During the
last twenty-five years I have given
booze a tough battle and I find that they
are still making it and making it faster
than ever before. No man living ever
won a decision from old John Barley
Corn and he is still champion of cham
pions. I know whereof I speak for I
have entered the ring many a time with
him. But we all have our faults and
our failings and I being only human
have mine."
"How do you exercise?" he was asked.
And this is where John L. gave fat
men a point which they might profit
by when he said: "I put on an old
sweater and an old pair- of rants, lay
clown flat on the floor and roll around
on my stomach. There is not a finer
massage in the world for a fat stom
ach and abdomen than this method.
I roll back and forward a hundred
times. By no other system can you get
the weight as you can by laving down.
A fat man is naturally heavy. The
system is the finest in the world and I
can recommend it to any man that is
bothered with overweight. See what
it has done for me."
John L. got up from his chair,
stooped over without bending his knees
and touched the floor with the tip of
his fingers. It is a twenty to one shot
in the dark that few 260 pound men
can do this trick, those who can, won't
do it w ith the ease, the lack of fatigue,
with which John L. goes through the
stunt.
Then Sullivan picked up a couple of
dumb bells, which looked as if they
had been made for a six-months-old
infant to play with. They weighed a
pound each. With these he exercises
and just a regular old fashioned form
of calisthenics is his formula.
"Why don't you use big ones?!' he
was asked.
"They are made for show and noth
ing else," was the reply. "They are
not made for actual use. You don't
want to tie yourself up in knots swing
ing around great big weights. That
don't do the business. It makes you
sore as a boil. What you want is easy,
graceful motion, unaccompanied by
strain or fatigue. From that kind of
work you get vour real genuine bene
fit." "Do you diet any?" was asked of
him.
"I eat just two meals every day,"
was his reply. "And then I eat good
ones."
"How about your sleep?" he was
asked.
"I always go to bed at night as soon
as the show is over and get my rest,"
was the answer. "Sleep is absolutely
necessary to feeling good.
"Say, I got a boxing partner who is
a dandy." he said suddenly. "He is
Jim Mi-Corniick a big six foot Texan
from Galveston. The boy is only
twenty-live years old, but he is doing
nice business. You want to see him
work."
John L. was interrupted by the por
ter of the hotel, who brought in a
bunch of letters and a few packages.
Sullivan tore, open the letters first,
and read one aloud. It was from a
niece in Boston and she was sending
him some Christmas presents. Ha
opened up the. package and took out
an array of fine silk socks, some good
handkerchiefs, and a few other little
things.
"They never forget their Uncle
John," " he said. meditatively.. "I
never forget them either. I have two
nieces. One gets a present of $125
this year and the other one a present
of $150. It is mighty nice to hear
from them when I'm out on the road,
living in a trunk. I can te;i you."
Sullivan is here with his show,
which begins at the Auditorium to
night. A performance will be given
tonight. Tuesday night, Wednesday
afternoon (matinee), and Wednesday
night. There are twelve acts on the
programme. . The Hamlins appear in
stead of Sallie Randall. The latter
was recalled to her home in the east
on account of the serious illness of her
mother. The Hamlins are rated the
best soft-shoe dancing and banjo
artists in the country.
The show will "begin tonight at
fifteen minutes of, eight. This will tea
a decided innovation and is one that
should not be overlooked. It will be
an absolute novelty for any perform
ance in Topeka to begin that early,
but the show will start promptly at
7:45. The doors will be open at 6:30.
"We do this," said Manager Hail,
"to get through. At the very best our
show is not over until 11 o'clock.. We
simply have the best thing in the way
of a vaudeville performance that you
ever saw. It cannot be beaten. I will
say that it is the best outside, of New
York and Chicago. That may sound
lika a boast, but you will believe it
after you have seen it . tonight. " It
will be a good thing for people to re
member, too, that no time during the
performance will be too late to come
in. There is plenty of it, and you can
come in at any time and get your
money's worth."
The programme for tonight is as
follows:
John L. Sullivan and his mono
logue, telis of his travels around the
world, some of the funniest instances
that occurred, producing two of the
cleverest artists appearing before the
public today.
Sylveno, the marvelous shadow
grapher. Eidridge. who builds houses of sand.
Miller, the handcuff king, who has
broken frbm the following prisons:
Tombs prison, New York, N. Y., the
prison at Portland, Oregon, city jail at
Seattle, Wash., the county prison in
Denver, Colo., the only man that ever
escaped from Kings county peniten
tiary at Long Island, N. Y., and the
only man who ever escaped from the
man of war "Perry" while chained in
irons to the rings of the floor.
The musical Adams, undoubtedly the
finest musical performance ever seen
on the American stae.
Baffles, the dog, a dog that has been
taught and trained to steal and bring
his missives home.
Perkins, king of the high wire, the
new slack wire performer, lifted from
the stage twelve feet high. While on
the wire three hoops are placed around
his body almost making movement an
impossibility, walking on ladder bal
anced on whre, etc.
Kennedy and Vincent, grand comedy
pair. Can do everything on a piano
but make it talk. Their act is inde
scribable. John L. Sullivan and his sparring
partner, Jim McCormick, a young man
of 2 4 years of age, standing six feet
two inches in height and weighing 196
pounds, undoubtedly the champion of
the world. This sparring event of three
rounds will be worth the travel of
many thoroughbreds miles to see and
serves as an education to ladies and
children as well as men. Boxing stands
today as one of the healthiest of sports.
It makes the brain active and the eye
quick and is something that should be,
understood by every man, woman or
child.
Living pictures of James J. Corbett
and Kid McCoy, showing the great
contest. The ten thousand people are
visible to the eye, every movement that
is made in the twenty-four foot ring is
as plain as the nose of the face, the
entrance of the referee, introduction of
McCoy and Corbett, the man standing
in the ring agreeing to the articles as
to what rules they shall fight by, the
putting on of the gloves, the fight in
general is as plain as if you would be
sitting at the ring side yourself.
The Bradys, two of the cleverest
artists appearing before the public to
day in their marvelous bag punching.
Also singing and dancing.
The Hamlins. champion soft shoe
dancers and banjo players.
THEY'RE PAYING UP.
Receiver Bradley "Will Probably Get
All Devlin Money Tliis Week.
The bulk of the unpaid life insurance
of the late C. J. Devlin, which has been
assigned to the First National will be
paid over this week. Arrangements
should be perfected by the latter part
of the week for the declaration of a div
idend which will probably be paid soon
after the first of the new year.
This morning the Provident Life and
Trust company of Philadelphia, turned
in a check of $10,111.30 upon a policy
which had been assigned. The policy
was one for $10,000 but the extra
amount was a dividend.
The State Mutual Life Insurance
company has sent a notification of a
payment of $35,000, a check for which
has been sent through the mail and
which should be received here Tuesday.
The Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance
company which write policies aggre
gating $55,000 have informed the receiv
er that payment for the full amount of
the policies will be made sometime dur
ing the week.
The remaining life insurance, is divid
ed principally between the New York
Mutual, the Germania Life and the Un
ion Central.

The Coming Country.
The opportunity for the man of lit
tle means is probably better today in
the prairie states of the southwest
than ever before in the history of the
nation. The chance of pre-empting
claims or of taking up lands under
government laws is gone and will not
return again. It is a different kind of
opening which lies before the settler
and its promise is of exceeding bright
ness. Its best opportunity is shown
in the great southwest where the
transformation is going on and where
the conditions of soil and climate is
in harmony with the warm skies and
temperate winds. To the man who is
not satisfied with his condition, the
southwest has an Inviting future.
Along the lines of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway there are vast
areas of unimproved lands awaiting
willing hands to make them yield the
bountiful crops of which the land ia
capable. There is a need of stores,
factories and new business of every
description. It is the finest kind of
an opportunity in the finest section of
the United States. The southwest is
unexcelled for the variety and fer
tility of its soils for its climate. Its
people are progressive and up-to-date,
its religious and educational facilities
are as good as can be found elsewhere
The M. K. & T. railway has no
lands for sale, but is interested in
building up this productive country.
It is believed that the southwest has
bilghter prospects and offers better
opportunities than any other section
Keemg is believing. For that reason
the southwest courts investigation of
the conditions as they exist. Anyone
desirous of learning more of the
southwest will do well to address
