the celobfaled contest en the ground * ol
the.Oniaha Gun club across the river Fri

The'cohtc.il -wan one of national Inlercs !
and , Importance from tho.beginning. . Till *
was especially so at the conclusion of tht

He scored clghly-seven birds and Parmelci
eighty-six. The match wa.i for $200 a okle
Ucttint ; was lively on lhe outcome at evct
money -anil considerable money changoi

This was the fo'urlh contest of an Idem
I leal description between Parmeltc and Bl
Holt. It was the first one that the Knns.i :
City 'man ever won. In the preceding one :
lhe scores were : I'armelce , 88 ; Ellloll. 91
1'armeloc. 91 ; Elliott , 91. In the third boll
tied with ninety-one birds and on the shoot

scoring , but then I WPS nt no .more u dlsad
vantage than was Elliott. Ills superiorly

match. "
Omaha spot-lumen have reason to fee
Jubilant over their victory. It Is an impor
tant one and there Is reason for doubl
toitisfactlon In thai ihe record made by Ih
locals al Kansas Oily In the first Intcr-cll :
nhoot was fully sustained. The member
of the Kansas City team accepted their dc
feat gracefully and acknowledged theVsplon
did nblllly of the Omaha shoolers. The :
were somewhat discouraged at Iho end o
Iho flrsl day's shoot Friday , when , will
only four pairs lo ehool , .Ihe Omaha lean
led by six birds. Captain Walden con
fldpntly asserted that his team would b
able to overcome this advantage , but hi
optimism was not shared by the balance o
the members of tbe team. Friday night fei ,
bets were made on the oulcome of the teat
shoot by the Kansas City men except a
oildH of 100 to 60.
In decided contrast to the balmy , clea
atmospheric condition which favored th
first day's shoot was the raging- wind
ctorm that blew down from the north al
day Saturday. It swept across , lhe trap :
struck the cheek of the shooter'chilled th
blood of the spectators , swirled -clouds ti
sand from tupgrounds .within lhe park enclosure
closure and made lhe day altogether a dls
agreeable one/ Four pairs remained to b
Bhot off Saturday and the scores subse
qiiently made by the contestants In the tecl
ot Iho wind were exceptionally good. Th
wind , too , mado.the birds more difficult t
shoot. Nevertheless , It afforded oppor
tunlty for many excellent shots and Ih
shooters who engaged In the match yes
lerday furnished the spectators plenty c
occasion for cn.lhualasm. Some marvclou
shots were. Mil a do and the participants I
the contest have ample cause for pride 1
the scores made by them.

The magnates ot Iho National Icagm
have at last held n meeting. They qulctlj
congregated at Cleveland last week , sough
to avoid recognition by registering at theli
hotel under assumed names and took ever ;

Ibnt their actions shall be kept entlrel ;

lo hold a meellng and spring upon lhe pub

procrastination Is obvious , since the longc
the National league delays definite nctloi
regarding baae ball mailers. Just that mucl
longer Is delayed the setllement of othe
Important matters depending to a certali

If some wizard will come to the for

of fans all over the country , the most ex

Devolccs of Iho prize ring are evlncln
some Inlercst in the bout whlch'wlll tak
place In Chicago early nexl month betwee
Eddlo Santry and Terry McGovcrn. th
Urooklynlte who recently wrested th
featherweight championship from Georg
Dlxon. Apropos to this event Is Santry' '
assertion that by rights he Is entllled I
lhe championship which McGovcrn holds r
Ihls lime. Relative lo Ihls Santry says :
'When Solly Smith gained a doubtful dc
clslou on points over Dixon at San Frar
Cisco there was no championship till
fought for. Dut Dlxon and Jordan tough
for the featherweight championship , an
the colored boy lost. Jordau and I the
met for the tllle , and I knocked lhe Eng
lishman oul. So I sllll hold the right t
th featherweight championship , . and an
one that wants It will have to fight and dc
feat me to make good the claim.
"Now , I am willing to give McGovc'rn fu
credit for his defeat of Dlxon , but I hello
that If I had been In proper trim -\vhen _
met Dlxon I could have stopped him "s
easily-as McGovern did. I had only nlc
days' notice lo get In shape for Dlxon th
last time I met htm. We were mntehe
lo weigh In al 122 pounds al 3 o'clock o
Iho day of bailie , nnd I lipped lhe scales :
136H pounds Avhen I began Iralnlng.
"For all lhat I had Dlxon clinching an
hanging on from the fourteenth to tt
twentieth and last round. And at th :
nearly every one In the club house thougl
I should have been given the verdict Insteo
of only receiving a draw. Even To :
Sharkey. ono of Dlxon's best friends , at
milted thai I won fairly on that occasion.
"Then , when 1 met Jordan I only ho

When' we * weighed 'In I 'tipped the beam i

either.
"But In this case it'll bo different. I i

CHESS CHAMPION AT LINCOLN
Hurry \ . IMItntmr.v Will ( live i\-

IlllniUolil I'lnv.
Harry N. Plllsbury , chess champion.of the
United States , has written the Chens players
of Llnt-oln that he can be with them two
days In February , somewhere between the
I'llh and 10th. to give an exhibition nt his
wonderful skill In playing simultaneous
games of chess and checkers and blindfold
chess. It will bo remembered that Mr.
I'lllsbury visited Lincoln In April , ISM. an 1
one night pl.iyed thirty-three .games of chess
and ten of checkers simultaneously , winning
twenty-five games of chess , losing live and
drawing three. The next evening he played
eight games of chess "blindfolded. " that Is.
without seeing the boards , winning seven
and drawing one. *
The chess players of Lincoln have chosen
Or. Wilkinson to preside at the Plllabury ex
hlblllons and he In turn selected Messrs
Lee Edwards , C. Q. Do France. Fred Cornell
Judge W. A. Lec-se , Ralph Whllcd aud P J
Uxrrou as committee on invitations and ar
rangements. Mr , le France , ( in behalf of
the Nebraska Chess association , haj under
taken tlio task of Inviting all chess and
checker players living outside of Lincoln to
bo present and take part , while the othr
members ot the committee look after the
Lincoln players and other matters. Over
eighty Invitations have been sent by letter ,
but Mr. Do France requests thnt all Inter
ested chess and checker players who may
read this notice will write him for further
particulars. The exact dates of Mr. I'llls-
bury's Lincoln exhibitions will be announce 1
later.
A .specimen of Pillsbury's simultaneous
play might be Interesting at this time. He
plays the. white pieces In. all chess games ,
thus having first move , 'which permits him
to decide on the opening In each game. No
two boards side by side have the s mi > open
ing. In the game given below Fred. Cornell
of Lincoln played black : Mr. Cornell Is re
garded as a strong amateur , and has. . an ac
curate knowledge of the various openings.
The Ruy Lopez , wherein White's first three '
"
moves are always P-K 4 , Kt-KU ' 3'am1
B-Kt 5 , Is one of the mqijt ; common- openIngs -
Ings , yet one of the hardest' ; to defend
against. The first nine moves below art
all regulation "book"\moves , but Mr. Qor :
nell "went wrong" on his l nth apparently
a hat-micas move. . ' } ' y ' ' ' . '

The second game between PllUuury am
T.irrasch was played at 'the Nuereuiben
touniey. The American adopted thi
. queen's gambit , and -"a most intercstlni
' struggln ensued. Tarraschprofltlng : by hi
, experiences In the Hasting * tourney , did ho
I force matters on the queen's-wing , but ex
erted himself to maintain a safe game. Hi
was quite successful , for up to the forty
eighth move the position' was all even one
and a drawn contest was anticipated. A
this stage of the game , however , Plllsbur ;
tad a surprise on hand. By forcing the ex
change of queens he brought about ai
ending where either side had four pawns
Seemingly this gave Tarrasch an advantage
Ho had a surplus pawn on either side , am
both of them could not be stopped by th <
adverse king. Plllsbury , on the othe
hand , had two connected center pawns ; th
advance of them , however , could be prevented
vented by Tarrasch's king. Pillsbury cal
culated correctly ; ho saw his way clear t
support his pawns with his king and thu
queen one of them before his opponent hai
a chance to do likewise. It was a hlghl ;
Interesting struggle , and the American *
play , particularly In the ending , was a.mos
brilliant one.
The position after White's fifty-first

Hypnotism Is no longer a myth , a fanciful creation of the mind , but a reality ,
a most potent power , capable of producing Infinite good. For the. purpose of ascertain
ing tht ? exact value of this much-talked-of power a committee , compose , ! of a physi
cian , a well-known Jurist , a prominent minister and leading railroad man , wns appoint
ed to Investigate Hypnotism.
Tl'e committee carried on a series of Investigations In regard to the power of hyp
notism to influence the actions and deeds of people in the everyday walks of life.
The first step taken by the members of the committee was to master the science
state from personal experience the good or evl
In every detail , so that they might
this strange power might produce. They wrote the New York Institute of Science , of
Hocheater , N. Y. . the greatest school of Hypnotism and Occult Sciences in Ihc world ,
and received full and complete instructions in regard to how hypnotism may be used
to influence people in business , how to use It in treating disease , etc. , etc. In a fe.v
days they mastered these Inntrucllons and were full-Hedged hypnotists.
It was clearly demonstrated that hypno'tlsm .may bo employed so that the-person
operated upon IB entirely unconscious of the fact that he Is being Influenced ; and , all
things considered , the committee regard It as the mcst valuable discovery of modern
tlmtvi. A knowledge of it Is essential to one's success In life and well-being In society.
Dr. Lincoln says , after a thorough Investigation , that he considers It Iho most mar
velous therapeutic or curative agent of modern times.
Judge Senator , although a legal light , turned his attention to healing the sick , and
In a few treatments he completely cured John E. Myers , of Flemlngton , N. J. , ot a
strang malady that had kept him bedfast for nine years , and which the doctors said
must surely kill him. Judge Senator's fame spread for miles around , and hundreds ot
people applied to him for treatment.
Mr. Stouter performed the astonishing feat of hypnotizing Mr. Cunningham , of Pu
eblo , Col. , at a distance of several blocks. He also hypnotized an aged gentleman , and
"Hod-hot for sale. " Mr. Stouter
had him run through the streets shouting - peanuts
says it If Indispensable to one's business success.
Rev. Paul \Veller says that every minister and every mother should understand
hypnotism for the benefit they can be to those with whom they are brought in dally
contact.
In speaking of this marvelous power , President Eliot , of Harvard College , said to
the graduates ; "Young gentlemen , there isa subtle power lying latent In each of you ,
which few of you have developed , but which when developed might make a man irre
sistible , ill Is called Personal Magnetism or Hypnotism. I advise you to master It. "
The New York Institute of Science 1ms just Issued 10,000 copies of a book which
fully explains all the secrets ot this marvelous power , and gives explicit directions
for becoming a practical hypnotist so that you can employ the force without the know
ledge of any one. Anybody can learn. Success guaranteed.
The book also contains a full .report of the members of the committee. It will be
sent absolutely free to any one who Is Interested. A postal card will bring It , Write

does not get all the power ho should oul of
hia club. Mrs. Cotteril has lhe golfing fever
nnd allows It both In her play and att tidance.
Miss Hcrborta Jayncs has left for Lincoln
to uttcnd lhe Uolverslly of Nebraska. Cap
tain Lawrlo still holds the record and
seems to play with more case and precision.
His driving Is certainly the cleanest and
longest of any member of the club , and his
Iran play Is becoming stronger and more
accurate. He lias great hopes for the
Kountze Place clubs and has a program up
bis sleeve which he proposes lo spring as
teen as Iho course U In Una-class condlllon.
Ho proposes to present to the club two
prizes ono for women nnd another for
men to be competed for during the season ,
and the members having the lowest aggre
gate for the season will become the poi-
BessorB of the prizes. He has not framed
conditions yet , but these will be given out
In duo course.
Harry O'Neill has proposed a bet with
Lewis lhat bo can beat the captain In an
18-holo match , and Mr. Low-la has laken
the bet. Tbe result remains to bo seen.
If Harry plays with his "pepper box" ball
he may win oul. The captain's adherents
advlto Mr. O'Neill to draw his check lu ad
vance.
