SCHMADER-LAMSON
BOUT BEING HELD UP
Louisville Boy Stands to be Left Out
of Labor Day Card at Fort
Omaha, Say Papers.
From Saturday" Da 11 v.
According to yesterday's World-
Herald. Andv Schmader. Louisville s
heavvweight boxer will probably not
be nicked to meet the Walthill In
dian on Labor day
despite the fact
that Lamson

issued a public chal-
winner of Wednesday ,
night's bout. The explanation given
is that Omaha fans would rather
see some other boxer meet the In-
dian.
The facts of the case are Schmader
isn't in with Sandy Griswold and his
"sport dopsters" of the metropolis, '
and so stands to be left in the cold,
so long as they have any concern in
the matter. And this for no appar-
ent reason, in nis career as a puga
list. Schmader has never turned a
crooked deal so far as we are able
to learn, and that is more than can
be said of many of the pugs whe
stand ace high with the Omaha
rporting element.
It is not the purpose of this writ-
er to imply that Schmader can whip
the Indian. Maybe he can and may-
be be cant But why should he be

bill boy again, especially after the

event in the history of that state ami

WRITES OF MEETING
WITH OLD FRIENDS
W. Green, Many Years a Resident
of This City Finds Much Pleasure
in Meetings at Epworth Assembly
. ' . . . ,,
Fr..m Saturdays 1 nllv
The Journal has just received a
letter from Charles W. Green, an old
resident of this city, but has of late
years been residing in Lincoln and
at the Soldiers and Sailors Home at
Milford. In his letter Mr. Green
says:
"The writer wishes to note, lest
we forget the fact, that among the
thousands who attended the Epworth
Assembly from all directions, we, by
accident met a few of our former
church and Sunday school associates
from Plattsmouth. Surely it was a
great surprise and a Joyful experi
ence, one that will go with us until
we meet again beyond the river.
There were many questions from the
writer as to the old friends and their
families and where they had gone
if leaving the city. We' were glad
to hear the good tidings of some of
the friends and regreted to learn of
the misfortune of others who have
sunereu in
both body and mind.
Among the visitors rrom the oia
town w ere Rev. A. V. Hunter, the
Methodist minister. Hilt Wescott and
Jesse Perry. And here at the Milford
Soldiers and Sailors home where we
are more or less making our tem
porary stay, we met our old com
rade, T. W. Glenn, from Plattsmouth.
who was making a visit at the home
and whom we met by chance. Many
thanks for your kindness.

GREAT RECORD MADE
IN TRUCK TRAVEL
Reo Speedwagon Goes Irom Omaha
to Denver in a Record Breaking
Run That Establishes Record
Ed Mason, the" local Reo dealer ha
received the following account of the
record run made from Omaha to
Denver in one of the trucks that he
represents in this city:
No doubt everyone manufacturing
or selling trucks, will be interested
in the speed run made by the Jones
Opper Company of Omaha, Neb., with
a Reo Speedwagon to Denver, Colo
rado. The Reo Speedwagon carried
a net load of 2535 lbs., city scale
weight, which was principally made
up of dry goods from the M. K. Smith
Company of Omaha, to he delivered
to their customer, the Denver Dry
Goods Company, at Denver. The
Jones-Opper Company had in mind
making this run in twenty-four hours
or as much le?s as possible.
The start was made from the West
ern Union oflice on 24th and Far nam
streets, at 6:03 p. m. central time.
Friday. August '13th, and they ar
rived in Denver at 1:3 4 p. ni. moun
tain time, (Western Union again
checking us in) Saturday afternoon.
August 14th. The distance covered
was COG miles, and there were no
mechanical troubles of any nature.
other than two punctures. The
roads were found to be fair to good
the entire distance. It is. however,
to be remembered that there were
about nine hours of night driving.
which proved a handicap to a cer
tain exteht. Another serious handi
cap was the city of Lincoln, for the
truck arrived there at just the right
time in the evening to be forced to
pass and meet automobiles for a dis
tance cf six to eight miles east of
Lincoln, through the city of Lincoln
and a distance of six to eight miles
west of Lincoln, and much time was
lost at that point.
The first leg of the run was made
by Mr. J. M. Opper and Mr. I. C.
Ganner of the Jones-Opper Company
and covered a distance of 207 miles
to Minden, Nebraska. These 207
miles were covered in six hours and
thirty-seven minutes, or an average
speed of 31.41 miles per hour, in
cluding the taking on of gasoline at
Lincoln and Hastings. The second
leg of the run was made by repre
sentatives of the A. H. Jones Com

pany of Hastings, who drove 210
miles to Wray, Colorado, in reven
hours and forty minutes total
elapsed time, taking on gasoline and
cil twice, and changing tires once,
which gave them an average speed
pr hour of 27.39 for their distance.
The third leg of the run was made
by representatives of the Graham
Jones Company of Denver, who cov
ered a distance of 189 miles from
Wray, Colorado, to Denver, in six
hours and fourteen minute?, which
covered the changing of one tire and
the taking on of gasoline once, mak-
j ing their average speed per hour
30.45 miles.
i The gasoline consumption was
i 11 1-4 miles per gallon and 100 miles
, per quart of oil.
j To really show the speed that was
made, it is to be remembered that
the run was started six hours and
seventeen minutes ahead of the C. B.
& Q. Railway Company's No. 9 Den
ver Limited, which by the way is the
: fastest train between Omaha and
Denver and the truck arrived in Den
ver one hour and fift-six minutes
ahead of this train, and was driven
sixty-eight miles further. Putting
it another way, had both the train
and truck left Omaha at the same
time and had the train continued
its rate of speed for the entire dis
tance of C06 miles, there would have
been only a gain of one hour and
forty minutes for this through pas
senger train over the truck, for the
railroad mileage between Omaha and
JDtnver is only 53S miles.
