Gene Melady Doe Not Apologize to
Commitiioneri and Council
Bluff Gets Big Event
LET DAN AND GENE MIX MAYOR
Up to an hoar mo Ocne Melady,
wrestling promoter, had not apolo
gised to the city commissioner nor
Manager Frank of the Auditorium.
Mayor Dahlman reporta ha had
an extended conversation with Mr.
Melady, the net result of which wn
that the Stccher-Rogerg match,
hilled for Council Bluffs on Febru
ary 15, will not be transferred to
thla city.
Tne mayor made thla statement:
"I believe the 1400 flat rate for
wrestling matches at the Auditor-J
lum Is good money for the city.
You have to take in a lot of money
to bring the 20 per cent over 1400,
and not many matches yield more
than i 00 on a 2 per rent basis. In
the case of the match between
Stecher and Gotch which will, I am
confident, be pulled oft here next
summer, the Auditorium would not
h larira nAiiirh That msirti wnnTil
be held at the Speedway or the ball
park. Such a match would bring In
about 1100.000 at the gate, I be
lieve. The city wilt b doing well
to get a flat rate of 1400 tor these
tcatchea at the Auditorium.
Mailer ttot lata Tangle,
"This situation iiom durlna my ab
sence when Acting Mayor Butler and
Malady exchanged letters and got into a
tangle.
The mayor ssys h believes a wrestling
match between Ilutlrr anil Melady at
th Auditorium would draw a larva noun
St top prices.
Another wit has suggested that ths
tommlrsloners brine forth their wrestler
and tf he can throw Htecher, thon Melady
must spologlse to ths entire bunoh, If
not the commissioners apologise to Me
lady.
Mr. Melady and Joe Iletmanek. Stech
rs manager, had a conference this
morning over the coming Joe Rogers
fitecher match, and Melady announced
officially that the match would be staged
In Council Bluffs, as originally scheduled,
and that be would ttik no attempt to
bring it to Omaha. Uetmanek and the
Stecher boys are in Omaha en routs from
JDes Moines, w here Stecher dumped a

Grand Island is
Fighting Scarlet

GRAND IHLAND. Neb.. Feb. . (Spe
cial. ) The care of contagious diseases
has compelled the attention of the city
council, the members of the school board,
the civic ' federation and the county
board for the last week, and today at a
Joint meeting of tba city and county
authorities, attended by representatives
of the clvio league, a large two story
fcrlck residence in the outskirts was

necessary by a seemingly threatening
Increase in smallpox and scarlet fever
cases. . About t n days ago ths Soldiers'
Home was y quarantined and .no new
cases have broken out there, due to the
care taken in the way of fumigation
and general preventives. The Grand
Island college also was quarantined for
a day following the discovery of a well
developed rase of smallpox and all the
students were thoroughly fumigated and
the rooms disinfected. The proper safe
guard being assured, the school wss not
closed. Since then several new cases
have developed In the residence portions
of the city, but the strictest quarantine
measures are now being employed.

a half mile, when the wolf suddenly
stopped and turned on tilm. This fright
ened the horse, which wheeled so sud

thought of getting a gun until too late.
The wolf escaped.
James Murphy, a young farmer living
about one mile south of Gretna, while

What Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes
Thought A hout Prohibiton...
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, father of Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court
of the United States, was not only an eminent physician, but was, in FACT, gen-,
erally recognized as one of the clearest thinkers of his day, and a most valued
contributor to American literature.
Dr. Holmes denounced Prohibition as he did 'every other form of bigotry and
FALLACY; so that when a second attempt was made to fasten a prohibitory law
on his state (Massachusetts) after the statute had been tested as futile and re
pealed, he was one of the leaders in the fight against it.
Dr. Holmes' opinion on this subject was well expressed in one of his famous
"Autocrat of the Breakfast Table" articles, wherein he referred to French wine
with enthusiasm. In reply to a divinity student's question, whether he believed
in a diet of "rum," the old autocrat was quickened to say:
"RUM I take to be the name which unwashed moralists apply alike to the
product distilled from molasses and the noblest juices of the vineyard. Burgundy
'in all its sunset glow' is rum. Champagne, 'soul of the grape of Eastern France,'
is rum. Hock, which our friend the poet speaks of as:
'The Rhine's breast-milk, gushing cold and bright,
Pale as the moon and madening as her light.'
is rum. Sir, I repudiate the loathsome vulgarism."
"I believe in Temperance. But let me tell you there are companies of
men of genius, into which I sometimes go, where the atmosphere of intellect and
sentiment is so much more stimulating than alcohol that if I thought fit to take
wine, it would be to keep me sober. Among the gentlemen I have known few. if
any, were ruined by drinking. My few drunken acquaintances were generally '
ruined before they became drunkards.
To those who still mistakenly cling to Prohibition FALLACIES, the above
forceful views of Dr. Holmes, a man of deep learning and insight, are submitted
for the consideration of the thoughtful.
