BIG WRESTLING MATCH
AT PARMELE THEATER

are to be given a rare treat In the
near future. Articles have been
signed between Lee Fickler, of this
city, and Kid Parker, of Alliance, for

off here. Lee is a Plattsmouth boy
and a member of the local German
Turning society and has had a num
ber of good wrestling matches, hav
ing a record of unusual merit. The
opponent of Fickler is a fast man

match Is to be a handicap, Parker to
throw Fickler two pin falls in ft half
hour. The handicap Is given on ac
count of weight, Parker weighing
180 pounds, while Lee weighs only
143 pounds. A red-hot preliminary
between Thede Amick and William
SeyboR is to precede the main fea

Syrup Kings of King Hill, Messrs.
Patterson and Thomas, for two glass
Jars of their extra refined syrup left
on the editor's desk last week. We
have sampled the goods and know
whereof we speak, and without fear
of contradiction we are willing to
stake our reputation as a Judge of
good "lassus" when we state that for
color and flavor the syrup of this en
terprising firm has no superiors and
few equals in this country. It is
rumored that the Commercial club
of King Hill are taking steps to build
a large syrup factory next year for
the firm and that next year's output
will be double the amount of the
present season, and with modern
machinery and conveniences there Is
no doubt but the Patterson & Thomas
syrup will soon gain a national repu
tation. To show how the goods are
appreciated we will say that Mr. Pat
terson shipped four gallons of It to
O. E. Pocock without sending a bill,
and received on the next mall check
for $3.50 for the shipment.
