Seventeen Knockouts to
His Credit.
NEW YORK. March 1.—A compari
son of the ring records of Jack John
son and Jess Willard who are schedul
ed to meet in battle for the world’s

marked advantage of the title over
the challenger in actual glove cam
paigning. Johnson began his pugilist
ic career in 1901 and since that year
has figured in seventy-eight bouts for
a total of 696 rounds. During this
stretch of years the negro has won
twenty-five contests by knockouts and
twenty-seven by decisions. He also
participated in twelve no-decision
matches and seven draw bouts. In
addition Johnson has won two battles
as the result of his opponet’s fouls;
lost one on his own foul; one by a
knockout and three on adverse divi
sions by referees.

has met twenty-nine opponents, these
battles totaling 205 rounds. His re
cords include seventeen victories by
knockouts and five by decision. Three
no-decision, one draw, one bout lost
on a foul and two by being outpointed
complete Willard’s ring figures. Ac
cording to these tabulations Will uni’s
percentage of victories is .ioS to John
son’s .692 and his percentage of knock
outs .586 to the champion’s .320.
Willard’s work has been mediocre.
He fought ten round no-decision bouts
with Arthur Pelky and Luther Mc
Carthy in New York City; lost a twen
ty round bout on points to Gunboat
Smith in San Francisco and outpoint
ed Carl Morris in a ten round match
in New York.

court has decided that in England to
call a man a German if he is not, is
to abuse him and render oneself liable
to prosecution. In the case before the
magistrate, the prisoner I as said of
two men whom he me;, “They are a
couple of Germans.” He was fr*und
guilty of “committing an act where
by a breach of the peace might have
been caused,” and was sentenced to

seven days in prison.

If yoa*r anchored safe in Seward,
Let your mind now be at rest.
For in lookng o’er these Northern
Towns
You're surely struck the best
Cause Seward has the Palace Bar;
It’s famed from East to West.
And Sourdoughs from all the North
Will tell you “SHERWOOD’S best.”
ANNOUNCEMENT.
1 hereby announce my candidacy
for re-election to the city council, and
pledge myself to support all measures
that will tend toward the substantial
advancement and development of Se
ward as a modern up-to-date city.
SCHOOLS.
I believe it the duty of the new
council to complete the new school
building, during the vacation months,
and encourage in every way possible
the up building of the Public School
System, so that the Seward schools
i will be attended by pupils from sur
rounding towns and be looked upon
as an educational center.
PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The city council should make an ef
fort to establish a public library for
the common good and especially for
the use of pupils needing books of
reference to aid them with their
studies.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
1 believe in encouraging the volun
teer tire department so as to secure a
high state of efficiency, securing new
hose, and a new chemical engine, to
safeguard the lives and property of
our city and in other ways give aid
that will arouse and maintain the in
terest of the department.
CITY BUILDING.
At the present we have no lot, as a
| site for a public building to house the
Fire department and city jail, and be
lieve now is the opportune time to pro
vide a home for all departments of
tne t it y government.
WATER SUPPLY.
The Territorial Legislature now in
session will probably pass an enabling
act allowing incorporated towns, to
purchase or build their own water
works, and authorize the issuing of
bonds for such purposes. An effort
1 should be made to purchase the pre
* sent water system, and enlarge and
improve it as the city gross s.
S I R EET 1M PROV EM ENT.
A comprehensive plan ot side ssalk
! and street improvements should be
adopted and united effort of lot
1 owners and the city council will work
| wonders towards improving the ap
pearance of our streets.
STREET LIGHTING.
So soon as possible and funds are
available, the business and residence
districts should be well lighted, during
the winter months, as a brilliant light
ed city is an advertisement as well as
| a protection to every citizen, man, wo- j
man or child.
j Respectfuly submitted to the voters
| of Seward.

SCHOOL LUNCHES NO
MORE IN GERMANY.
To Save Bread Kids Will be Prevent
ed From Wanting it.
FRANFORT-ON-THE-MAIN, Mar.
1.—The wasting of white bread by
German school-children is the subject
of a letter in the newspapers of the
Rhine Province from a teacher, who
points out that it is the duty of par
ents to bring this extravagance to an
end and thus help the Fatherland dur
ing its crisis.
The writer says the children often
leave their homes after a scanty
breakfast and take a large package of
bread and butter with them to school.
He declares the scholars often are un
able to consume the whole of the food
and thereupon throw it away in the
streets. He suggests the official pro
hibition of the practice of bringing
food to school and also of the sale of
all bread except of “war bread’' made
of rye and potatoes to children for
their immediate consumption. In this
way he believes a great wastage will
be prevented and at the same time the
authorities will be helped to meet the
marked shortage in wheat flour, lie
concludes that the children will also
become more healthy if they are forc
ed to consume a proper breakfast oe
fore leaving for school and that if
they are kept from eating during
school hours they will be ready to eat
at their midday meal more of the
vegetables they usually refuse and
which are so abundant in Germany.

and to that end, ask that they furnish
us with a list of their property, that
they wish to rent and we will do all

property, we have numerous demands
for bith, and will be able to place
either for you in a short time.
It is up to the citizens of Seward to
look after the comfort of the new
comers and as an act of hospitality

erty if you care to rent it.
