ROGERS ALWAYS OX DEFENSE From WoJnesilay's Dally. Omaha, Feb. 1G. It's the same old story over and over ayakt. This time Joe Roeis of Buffalo, N. Y.. anl f up:! of Kmil Klank, maker of champion?, was ihe victim of the same tlii story. Br.trer.s essayed to uive Joe Sleeker a littie battle on the wrestlir.fr mat at the Council Bluffs Auditorium. But r. 'irers, like al! the others, proved no match for the Nebras.kan and lost two rt:a!,Ltht talis. The iirst fall came in ei.nh.t minutes and twenty seconds, and s-.-eond fall cam ; in live minutes and ihiity-icven seconds. The wonderful scissor?, aided and r.bttted by an English bar lock, proved to bj the fatal hob! for Refers, as it h.as for all ihe other rrapplers who locked horns with Joe. After the two men shook hands be fore the lint tilt Steeker and Rogers f.-lt each other out for three minutes. wiiii tect-.er oomtr ine leaumpr. Joe then tripped Rogers, to the mat and promjjtiy started after the scissors. He had it in a twinkling of an eye and the deadly pros-are began. Lays in Scissors. Rogers weathered the scissors for live minutes. lie kept Steeker from turning him over by stretching him self out Mat or by doubling into a knot. But it was of no avail. With but eight minutes ticked off the clock the Dodge fhenom stun Rogers around without losing his scis.-ors gtip, and then se cured the bar lock. Rogers couldn't stand the torturing grip ard lock and slowly turned over on his shoulders. Eight minuter anil twenty seconds. The second fall came quicker. The men were on their feet but two min utes before Steeker threw Rogers to the mat. As before, he immediately clamped the s.is?ors on and began to work for the bar lock. He got it and it only took three more minutes to tuin the Buffalo man over. Steeker Is Aggressor. Rogers never ha 1 a chance. Steeker was on the aggres.-i.'c every minute. Rogers d;d not make one offensive move, h j was always on the defensive. He did r.ot get behind Steeker once and. in fact d:-.:n't br ak a single hold, for it was the original scirsors that did ike work in each tilt. Stronger Than Cutler. After the match Steeker declared that Rogers is the strongest man he ha- ever met, even asserting Rogers is stronger than Charley Cutler. But Rog. . vS cov.1 in't stay as long as Charley Cutler. In fact, he was more helpless against Joe than was IIus sane or Americus or We.-tergaurd or ny of the rest of them. O'.her wrestlers have wriggled out r r l.roicen away trom tne scissors ne.i st clamped on them even though thev eventually succumbed. iut Rogers didn't do a single thing. He ked like a big sack of grain who :' dn't firht back, he was that help- . under the scissors. Bilv.ee:; L"00 and 3.000 wrestling fans blled the Bluifs Auditorium to see the match an 1 cheer Steeker's vie-, tow. Long oefore the match started every seat m the house hau been som and the doors were locked. Several hundred were turned awav as no ac . . -mi ii commodations coual he lound lor L . " ....

Sunday evening a jolly sdeighing party invaded the beautiful country hove of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Yallery, where they proceeded to make things lively.

Hew Two Men Cured LaGrippe "Last Tvir.ter I suffered with a tor riblu cold and a cast; of la grippe," writes K. C. Ithodes of Middleton, Ga. "Whin getting well of la grippe I still had a Lacking cough and for several months could get no relief. Finally I began taking Foley's Honey and Tar and soon I was well of both cough and cold and it never re turned." F. u. Prevo, Bedford, Ind., writes: "After having an attack of la grippe it loft me with a severe cough and I tried everything. I lost in weight and got so thin it looked as though I would never get well. I iried Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and two bottles cured me. I nm now well and lack to normal weight." Foley's Honey and Tar Compound is n healing family remedy and seldom fails to relieve coughs, colds, croup, whooping cough, raw and inflamed throat, t'ght and sore chest, irritat ed tirkiias throat and bronchial coughs.

Mrs. Babbington accidentally step ped ell the sidewalk into the ditch, op posite the Bonner stables, as she was leturning from church on Sunday evening, wrenching- one of her limbs severely. We trust she is not serious ly injured. Some young gentleman assisted her home. Will the city marshal try and stop people from throwing things in the gutters? Sixth street is a long street and it soon gathers enough to stop any culverts that can be made at the lower end. Even well informed peo ple do this trick.

Such a crazy lot of fellows as gathered down at Buttery's store yesterday we haven't seen sir.ee 'i'J when someone calimed to have discovered Color on Omaha creek. Merchants, clerks, lawyers, doctors and preachers threw off their coats and dug the banks of the creek up as the sweat poured down their j-trained faces t-nd the blisters 'rev.- on their tender-footed palms. Gen. Cunnigham brought home sev eral specimens of ore from Cant. Ben nett's mine in which some of our townsmen are interested, and Barnes, Y. Bennett, Dr. Gjo. Black, stockholder-?, we believe, pounded it up in a mortar. From one .-pt-cimen about as large as a hen's egg they got eight disti.net specks of gold and such a hurrah you never saw. All the town rushed clown there. Never was "Jo.-e-phine'' so sought after. Shares rose as the golden specks went down in the confer of the pan and fortunes gleam ed in the glim future like will o' the wisps on the bogs of Kilkenny. Then John Shannon, an oid miner, worked out another chunk from another mine, that didn't turn out so well, but it gave just as much fun and excitement, and the Herald. left them on their knees around a dirty pan with little glasses (magnifying) jammed into their eyes, as eager as boys playing marbles for keeps. While they were getting the color from the second pan someone came in and drank up the first "wash"' by mistake, it having been poured into the glass used to drink from for safe keeping. It's safe now and a returning board are hunting for the chap that helped swal low Josephine. Oh, my, how old days come over us. We've got the fever, bad! EGGS FOR HATCHING. S. C.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD A CENTURY OF STEADY PROGRESS Louisiana, Mo., Feb. 14. In com menting recently on the election of Lloyd C. Stark, vice president of Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., to the presidency of the Western Association of Nurserymen, the St. Louis Republic said: "This adds additional interest to the fact that this great Missouri enterp rise is just ready tj begin the cele bration of its one hundredth anniver sary, a century of progress and growth on the site of the original nursery, From a few Pike county acres it has developed into the largest concern of its kind in the United States." For a business to have lived 100 year 5 is a noteworthy accomplishment To have lived 100 years and been a constant factor in the increased pro duction of more and better fruits for the family is even more noteworthy. Stark Brothers are pioneers in en couraging the planting of more fruit for the good of the people, rather than individuals, and not from purely com mercial motives. Due to an awaken ing of the value and importance of fruit if only "a little backyard or chard," home builder? today figure on a few trees when the house plans are drawn instead of making no provision for them whatever, rs was formerly the case. It used to be that the town and city resident had n mistaken idea about how much space it required to plant and grow a few trees and bush fruits. It is really surprising what one can do with the new varieties of tiees on a few feet of ground. This coupled with the fact that the con sumption of raw fruit in the past few years has great 1 j' increased is direct ly responsible for the planting of three home orchards where only one was planted before. A new meaning and a new interest is now attached to that ancient admonition: "Be sticken in a tree, Jock, it will grow while ye 're sleepin'." The pure food experts have said that the children of he country must have all the apples they can eat if they are to be perfectly health. The little home orchards of only a few trees will come nearer supplying this want than the commercial orchards whose crops go to the fruit stands where the price is prohibitive to many or are exported to foreign lands. Al though never planted for profit, even the smallest of the back yard plant ings will produce more than one fam ily can use, allowing a surplus for rale to neighbors. It has remained for Stark Brothers to spend over $2o0,000 in advertising an apple Stark Delicious and $100, 000 in advertising another Black Ben. Other trade mark fruits in troduced by this nursery are: Stark King David. Champ'on, and Senator apples. Gold plum, Gold cherry and Gold Nugget pear. PLEASE SETTLE ACCOUNTS. All accounts due to M. Fanger have been left at the Bank of Cass County, and all those knowing themselves in debted to Mr. Fanger will confer a favor by calling and settling the same without delay. Mr. Fanger has re moved from the city and will clean up the book accounts, and this oppor tunity is given to allow a settlement before other steps will be taken to secure them.

W. E KEENEY. J8 LIVE POULTRY BRYAN OROANZA TION BUSY TRYING TO FIX A SLATE Petitions From the Commoner Office With Bryan., Dahlman and Others on It. FRIENDS OF WILSON ACTIVE Omaha, Feb. 16. The following from Kearney is one of numerous re ports of similar purport received from various portions of the state: "A petition from ihe Commoner of fice in Lincoln arrived here yesterday for a slate of delegates-at-!arge to the democratic national convention. On the slate are the names of W. J. Bryan, W. II. Thompson, J. J. Thom as of Seward, and Louis Piatti of Oma ha. There goes with it, as a part of the slate, a petition for Mayor James C. Dahlman of Omaha for national committeeman. These petitions were sent to F. W. Brown, jr., of the Kear ney Times, and are now being cir culated by him. They also have peti tions from the same source for Frank Taylor of St. Paul and F. W. Brown, jr., of this place, for district dele gates. It is supposed the Commonor has similar petitions for district dele gates in all the other five districts. A Bryan Slate. In a word, the Bryan organization is making a slate. It comprises up to date Charles W. Bryan for governor, Dahlman for national committeeman, delegates-at-large and district dele gates to the national convention. Strenuous efforts have been and are being made to induce Governor More- head to become a part of the slate by accepting a filing for United States senator, and Morehead-for-senator petitions are being widely circulated. Close friends of the governor say that he will hold fast to his declination to be a candidate for the governorship, for the senatorship, or for congress from the First district, for all of which posts he has been mentioned. Efforts to induce Congressman Steph ens of the Third district to file for senator on the slate have met with failure, as did earlier efforts to draft Congressman Shallenberger. Reports are numerous in circles close to the Bryan organization that I. J. Dunn of Omaha, as a last resort, will be pre sented to contest with Senator Hitch cock in the primaries. Bryan and Dahlman. To what extent the prohibition line will be drawn in the completion of the slate is not yet clearly revealed. Some weeks ago the Bryan headquar ters issued the ukase that none but prohibitionists would be tolerated. In Iowa, last year, Mr. Bryan laid down the rule in a public letter that r.o one not for prohibition would be permitted to represent the democratic party on the national committee. The rule, however, has been abrogated in Nebraska, since Mayor Dahlman has been taken up by the Bryan organiza tion for national committeeman. Neither is the rule enforced as to can didates for delegates-at-large. Of the four on the Bryan slate Mr. Bryan homself, Thompson, Thomas and Piatti -all but the leader are reputed to be opposed to prohibition. The rank and file of Nebraska demo crats are still in the dark as to Mr. Bryan's intentions with regard to the national convention. There is wide spread speculation as to whether he will support President Wilson for re- nomination or oppose him on the one- term plank, coupled with the prepared- ness issue. The idea prevails pretty widely that Mr. Bryan may not com mit himself definitely until after the time for filings has expired, which would be about the time of the Bryan birthday banquet at Lincoln on March 20. Wilson Men Active. J Meanwhile, however, there are signs of activity on the part of democrats who believe that the delegation from Nebraska should be first of all a Wil son delegation, made up of men of un questioned loyalty io the president. From this source it is insisted . that enough candidates should be put in the field so that democrats may have a chance to make a free choice, and not be bound by a slate. For delegates- t-large numerous names have been suggested, including Governor More- head, Richard L. Metcalfe, William V. Allen, J. E. Miller of Lincoln, Judge Tibbets of Hastings, John C. Byrnes of Columbus, W. D. Oldham of Kear ney and Mayor Ryan of Grand Island. There are also many suggestions for district delegates other than those in cluded in the slate. For national committeeman it is re garded as practically settled that Ar thur F. Mullen will present himself in opposition to Mayor Dahlman.

Zuckweiler Lutz Mullen's experience as the head of the Bryan Volunteers in 1908, as private secretary to Governor Shallenberger, as attorney general and as manager of the Champ Clark campaign in Ne braska in 1912, has given him a very wide acquaintanceship and a reputa tion for political sagacity and energy that his friends claim peculiarly qualify him for a place on the national oemmittee, where he would be in posi tion to bring much aid to the election of the democratic ticket in Nebraska. SLAVS TAKE NINE ERZERUM FORTS Strong Turkish Fortress Can Hold Out for Several Weeks, However. BUILT ON THE MOUNTAINSIDE Petrograd, Feb. 16. The great Turkish fortress of Erzerum, which j has stopped Russian invasion of Armenia in all previous wars, is threatened with capture by Grand Duke Nicholas' Caucasus army. Nine of Erzerum's forts have been stormed and taken in a fierce struggle on the mountain sides in zero weather. The Slavs now can train their guns at close range upon the other forts. A Turkish garrison of 100,000 is re ported insidet he walls. Erzerum's fall would pave the way for a great spring advance by the grand duke's army through eastern Armenia and perhaps force Turkey to sue for peace. Assault Will Last Several Weeks. Three years ago the city was de fended by six great forts along the eastern outskirts, but other probably have been built. Erzerum is so strongly fortified that several weeks more of heavy ar tillery battering and infantry fighting probably will be necessary to cap ture it. The city, with a 40,000 population, lies at the end of a valley on a high plain. It is surrounded by a stone Drs. ftlach & Each, Th9 Dentists The largest ami best equipped dental otTiccs in Omaha.
