Runaway Electric. on Chestnut
Street Hill Causes Excitement.
For the second time since the local
6treet railway service was inaugurated
Stillwater people have had the oppor
tunity to witness the work of a runaway
car, and it is surprising that yesterday's
accident didn't result more seriously than
Jt did. The South Third street car was
coning down Chestnut street at the usual
speed and wheil the car reached Second
street th<« m.norman, J. Mackey, was un
able to hold it. He applied the brake, but
it refused to hold the ear and he reversed
the current. The car tore down the
street at a rapid pace and when it
reached the curve at the corner of Main
and Chestnut street* it left the track and
started across the street toward Mosler's
cigar store. Several people who were In
the store at the timo expected to see the
car crush into the front end of the store,
but when it struck the curb it deflected
and landed agalns^ 1 one of the Western
Union Telegraph company's poles on the
south side of the building. The only pas
senger on the car was Mrs. Henry Preb
ble, who was thrown ag.ilnst the stove
In the car. but escaped with a few slight
bruises. The telegraph ?ole was broken
into splintera and the car was consid
erably damaged and for a few minutes
there was a brilliant display of electricity
as the wires burned out over the street
railway trolley wire. About forty of the
Northwest- m Telephone company's wires
were broken and the Electric Light com
pany ala > had a few broken wires. The
damage was repaired in the afternoon
and car- were started over the local lin-?

SETBACK FOR ERNE
JACK O'BRIEX BOXEiS THE LIGHT
WEIGHT CHAMPION TO A DRAW
Ml A STANDSTILL
BATTLE WAS HARD-FOUGHT
Referee Slier Cuuelnded That a
Draw U :ih About the Right Thlngr
Where Neither Man Was Beaten
and Each Hud Made a Stronn
Showing;—Erne Wait Favorite at
the Oatxel.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Frank Erne, of
Buffalo, and Jack O'Brien, of New York,
fought twenty-live rounds, at 133 pounds,
at the Coney Island Sporting club to
night, and at the end of it Referee
George Siler, of Chicago, declared the
bout a draw. This decision was fair and
just, but it did not satisfy a number of
persons who had picked a favorite.
O'Brien did a lot of forcing and fighting,
but Erne's work was of a cleaner and
more scientific character. O'Brien's
blows fell with force that was not behind
Erne's. It was the old case of a clean
boxer against a hurricane fighter. Of
the two, O'Brien's face bore the worse
marks. Both his eyes were badly dam
aged and his nose puffed up. Erne's left
eye was smashed, but this will not hurt
him half as much as the punishment he
received in the body during the mill.
O'Brien invariably got in pile-driving
blows on the stomach, ribs and kidneys,
and the frequent visitations of his fists
left red welts on the Buffalo lad's body.
O'Brien was an even-money favorite
about the fifteenth round, while before
the fight began 100 to 75 was laid against
him. During the fight O'Brien scored
three knockdowns, while none was re
corded against him. Both men were in
fine shape, but it is just possible that
Erne was drawn a bit too fine in order to
get down to the limit.
There was a tedious delay in getting
the men to the ringside and during the
interval there was plenty of betting. The
odds were 100 to 75 on Erne. The Buf
falo lad was the first to enter the ring,
and as soon as he walked across the
roped lnclosure he received a warm weU
come. O'Britn followed a minute later,
and the local rooters cheered wildly.
O'Brien occupied the corner which Jef
fries had, and Erne took that occupied
by Sharkey.
It was within a minute of 10 o'clock
when the men were called to the middle
of the ring by George Slier, who informed
them that they should break under strict
Queensberry rules.

cision. As soon as the noise abated
somewhat, the master of ceremonies an
nounced that the referee had decided
the bout a draw.
DID THEIR BEST.
Secretary Long Han Kind Words for
tke Annapolis Football Team,
WASHINGTON", Dec. 4.— Secretary
Long's opinion of the football game be
tween the Annapolis and West Point
cadets, at Philadelphia on Saturday, was
embodied in a letter today addressed to
Rear Admiral McNalr, superintendent of
the naval academy, in which he says:
"I hope you will say for me to the
football team that while they did not
win they made a gallant fight, and that
it was especially gratifying to the depart
ment. Certainly, so far as my observa
tion went, tnd so far as I have heard
from others, nothing could have been
manlier, handsomer or with better spirit
than the way in which the two teams
made their fight, and that the absence of
anj- brutal, unbecoming or ungentleman
ly conduct was especially noteworthy.
Tell them that the department does not
forget that they are just as brave, just
as manly, just as faithful to their duties,
and have given just the same assurance
that In whatever emergency they are
placed they will do everything In their
power, as if they had won the game on
Saturday."

world is shown in the story that has just

that Sharkey would win. They were well
supplied with capital and succeeded in
wagering upwards of $5,000. On the day
Of the fight they secured the publication
of a cablegram to the effect that Sharkey
had won, and on the strength of this the
wagers were paid. It is estimated that
the adventurers cleared $10,000. As soon
as they had collected the money they dis
appeared. It is thought in Manila that
they are now far across the seas.

GOLD THE STANDARD
REICHSTAG DISCUSSES THE GER
MAN GOVERNMENT'S CURRENCY
SILVER REGARDED AS OUT
Dr. Seldt Suld He Thought Interna
tional .Monetary Convention An
ticipated by Another Member
ImposHlblc of Ratification, With
Absolutely No Prospect of Restor
ation of Stiver Standard.
BERLIN, Dec. 4.—The relchstag today
discussed the government's currency bill
providing for an increase of silver coins
until the amount reached the proportion
of 14 marks per head of the population.
Dr. yon Thlelman, secretary of the treas
ury, said the increase was imperative,
adding that the other pieces would at the
same time be withdrawn from circula
tion. Germany, in 1897, he continued, im
ported 40,000,000, and in 1899, up to Sept.
30, 47,000,000 marks in gold more than she
exported.
Regarding the maintenance of the gold
standard and the stoppage of the gold
output a£ South Africa, he asked what
would be the result if the war lasted
longer than a year.
Herr Welitzeln, Conservative, said the
Boers were gallant defenders, but also
held the keys of their gold deposits, and
must cut off much of Germany's small
gold supply.
Herr Kelche, president of the Reicha
bank, pointed out that all the great states
had now adopted the gold standard,
which, he added, settled the question of
bimetallism.
Herr Arendt, secretary of the German
Bimetallic league, attributed the rise in
the exchange rate to the scarcity of gold.'
Dr. Seidt said he regarded the interna
tional monetary convention anticipated
by Dr. Arendt as impossible of ratifica
tion, and there was absolutely no pros
pect of restoration of the silver standard.
The bill eventually was referred to a
special committee.

ASKS MORE MONEY.
Park Board Wants Its Allowance
Increased Next Year.
President Wheelock, of the park board,
•was authorized at a meeting held last
evening to request the conference com
mittee to place in the budget for next
year at least $55,000, and, if possible, $5,000
more than this sum. The board needs
an increase of $10,000 in its appropriation
in order to carry out the improvement
of Lexington avenue; to reimburse it
for expenditures In caring for Summit
avenue boulevard, and to erect a new
stable and tool house at Corao park.
The bequest of Martha L. Griswold,
who, in her will, left $2,C00 to be used in
placing a memorial fountain in Summit
park, was declined by the board. The
executor of the will, George Hunsacker,
informed the board that the estate did
not equal the bequests, and all that the
board could have was about $500, as this
was the ba^is on which the other lega
tees were being settled with. The board
decided the amount would be inadequate
for*the purpose named and declined the
bequest.
A resolution thanking the Butler-Ryan
company for a marble drinking fountain
donation was adopted, and the superin
tendent was directed to set up the same
at Como park in the spring. The fea
ture about the fountain is that cups are
not needed, a Jet of water bubbling up
to allow the thirsty person to quench the
thirst. The fountains are used with
great success in Boston and other cities.
The city engineer submitted maps show
ing the land and improvements along
Como avenue, from Rice to Dale street.
It is the intention and plan of the board
to have the avenue widened between the
two streets mentioned by taking ten feet
on each side of the avenue. The owners
west of the bridge are willing to give
the land necessary for the widening pro
viding no assessment is laid against
them. From the bridge east to Rice
street the board expect more difficulty
in making the improvement. At the next
meeting a resolution will be adopted re
questing the council to pass a preliminary
order directing the board of public works
to proceed with the widening of the ave
nue from the bridge to Dare street. After
this has been done the park board are of
the opinion the widening of the eastern
part of the avenue will be more easily ac
complished.
The plan of 3upt. Nussbaumer to erect
a stable and tool house at Como and have
the board own its own teams was dis
cussed. The plan, as figured out by the
superintendent, would save 40 per cent
of the amount now paid out for hiring
teams. The building of the barn and tool
house Is estimated at $8,000; the purchase
of eight horses, $1,000; $200 for four wag
ons, and $100 for harness. The plan will
not be carried out unless the conference
committee will increase the appropria
tion in the budget for next year at least
$5,000 for the purpose.
Pay roll of men and teams for Novem
ber, amounting to $1,933.20, was approved,
aa well as miscellaneous bills aggregating
?b73.10.

"I have used Ripans Tabules and they have done me lote of

a blacksmith, "Alter a hard day's work f would eat too much, I
guess," continued he, "and suffer like everything. My wjfe's brother
told me that Ripans Tabules had helped him and he thought they
would help me. I believe $hey have cured me, but I still take them
regular, for I would not have them pains again for anything. My
partner said, after I was so much better, that I was rea<ty io get well
anxhow, and that I would have got well without them. I believe
there are lots of people that are ready to get well just like I was.
They will get well when they take the same medicine I did, and not
before. X have worked hard all my life, first on a farm and then In a
blacksmith shop, and have been troubled with dyspepsia ever since I
was 18 years old. Now I feel like I was sweet sixteen. I think
Bipans Tabules are a great medicine."
