Phone 228-W (By Hal Sheridan) Johnny Kilban’s invasion into the lightweight division and the accom- panying rumors that the king bee of the featherweights has outgrown that class, have made followers of the boxing game cast around for a possi- ble suceessor to his crown. Not that Kilbane admits the lack of good men in the featherweight division to his ascendency, Kilbane probably has obtained less money than any champion ia these days of frenziedly financed sports. He has never been really forced to extend himself since he un- crowned Abe Aattel. He was so un- questionably champion of the 122- pounders, that the public rather lost sight of him in the middleweight and white hope tangles. But Johnny’s manager, Jimmy Dunn, has come to life and is push- ing his man to the front. If he can’t get a featherweight then a light- weight. Kilbane has seven bouts to his January card and for the most part he took no long chance. Most. of his opponents were easy money. There are several good hoys, two in particular, that loom up as likely successors to the Clevelander, should he definitely decide to abdicate his throne and cast his lot with Freddie Welsh, Charley White, Joe Shugrue and the rest of the lights. George Chaney of Baltimore is be- ing mentioned as the most likely of the younger fighters and the bantam- weight champion, Kid Williams, js also receiving a lot of mention. As in Kilbane’s case, Williams, it is hinted, fervently denies it. Williams has proven he stands head and shoul- ders above the bantams and there ar¢ few boys who stand a chance with him. There have been rumors of match- ing Kilbane and Williams. The little champion probably would do great at 122 pounds and Kilbane, if the match went through, would have to scale far under the 133-pound mark. Williams is said to be casting co- vetuous glances toward the feather- weight crown and it is possible a new king of feathers may be crowned be- fore 1916 kicks its hat into the ring. MASCAGNI'S LAST CHANCE T0.BECOME SENATOR Rome.—(By Mail to New York.)- - Mascagni of “Cavelleria” and Puccini of “Madame Butterfly” fame are again at outs, if indeed, they have ever really been at “ins.” In any event the breach is now more serious than ever before. Mascagni, it is declared, it quite convinced he would now be a senator had it not been for Pueccini, while the latter is equally as certain he would be enjoying the same honor had it not been for the former. As a matter of fact, very little is known of the affair except that the names of both figured on the original list of new senators created by the king the first of the year, and yet neither one received the nomination. The king, it is said, could have been satis- cedar, spruce and tamarac: excellent for certain purposes, but not high grade lumber. Much of tne inferior timber belongs to the state in school and swamp lands. Saved by Forest Reserve. “Large resources of timber have been set aside in forest reserves, the main one being at Lake Superior Na- tional forest, under national con- trol. Timber will be cut indefinitely from these reserves, under forestry restrictions so it will reproduce it- self and remain an available though limited supply.

OWATONNA STATE SCHOOL CHARGES MAKE GOOD (Continued rrom Page 1.) are employed. Here the failures are only ten per cent. A Large Percentage. Summarizing the entire 4,000 reg- istered and of whom individual rec- ords have been kept the school man- agement finds that 1,506 boys, or sixty-seven per cent are doing well, 502, or twenty-two per cent fair, and only 262, or eleven per cent are do- ing poorly. In the case of the girls, 1,047, or seventy per cent are doing well, 272, or eighteen per cent fair, and 182, or twenty per cent poor. Children when received at the Owa- of & tender age and the work of those in charge is directed at making them self-sup- porting. To. this end many trades are taught, including a course in farming. The average age of the children received is 7.31 years, and their average period of detention at the school is eight months. - As sta- ted, 5,106 children have been received at the school since its establishment, and of this number 2,026 have at- tained their majority and are self- supporting, 333 have been restored to their parents, 411 have been adopt- ed, and 1,282 are in homes subject to supervision. - During the past year the average daily attendance in the school has been 270, the largest in its history. For the biennial period ending with August 1, 1914, a total of 1,324 chil- dren were cared for, which is large in comparison with the daily attend- ance.

Car- penter, East Aurora, N. Y., “I was in very bad shape suffering from indi- gestion, could not eat solid food, when a friend advised me to try Chamberlain’s Tablets. I found such relief from one box that I continued using them until cured, and though six years have elapsed I have not felt the slightest return of my former trouble.” For sale by All Dealers.

As far as he could ascer- tain each had equal merits for the place. The only question on which a difference might be based was that of the value of the two composers’ music. While King Victor had his own ideas as to whether personaily he liked the “Intermezzo” better than he did the “Child From Whom Eyes the Witchery is Shining,” he declined to pose as an expert and both musicians lost out.
