The wrestling contest for the amateur championship of Cherry county was pulled off as scheduled last Friday evening. The match between A. John and Mont Bishop in the heavy weight class was declared a draw after 28 minutes of good mat work. Herman Massingile won first and third falls from Henry Wilson in i2 seconds and 2i- minutes re spectively. Both boys showed up in good form and wrestled hard. The light weights , Floyd Valentine - tine and Hollester Brandon , wres tled but a short time , Valentine winning two straight falls in one minute and forty seconds , and one minute and 26 seconds. Brandon wrestled < rood , but was slightly outclassed. Young Franke surrendered the featherweight title to Frank Wil son , after Wilson had won a fall--J in 26 minutes. The next , and last contest of the season , will be held late in May , and will be a fine exhibition of the art of wrestling , as there are , already , several good matches ' made. Don't Get Personal. c Andy Luke of Hampton , Iowa , i arrived in our city last Friday and i will play ball with our local sports this season. I The first game will be played \ this afternoon with Ainsworth. A Our boys expect to do 'em and it will be a warm game. If Ains- worth wins we will take our de feat like a general and try to beat 'cm some other time. But we would like to suggest to our boys that they discourage any uncomplimentary remarks passed by the onlookers that would sound discourteous to your guests. Gentlemanly enthusiasm should be a suflicient , and your honor does not all lie in the winning of a game. Our baseball boys are very courteous themselves , but , some times , the rooters are unthought- ful and say unkind things , though , perhaps , unintentional , and more because of enthusiasm for our home boys. Valentine is going to play ball some this season and we want to be nice about it too. But don't forget to play ball. The eyes of the people are upon you. When you come to the bat you are expected to make a safe hit , or a sacrifice if you can't , but j > the people take note of these plays ' and give you more encouragement c ( with each new victorious experi ence.

This distinguished American citizen will be here on the evening of May 30 , and address our peep le. He is a Nebraskan who has won honor and fame for himself and brought both to his adopted state. He came to Nebraska twenty years , unknown and poor. In the i two decades he has made his name i known and his power felt in every < land of civilization and has made J money enough to keep him self and family in comfort all the rest of their days. And a saving grace about it all is that he has never made a dollar dishonestly. Whatever differences there may be I between us politically , the man who is honest himself , must ac cord honesty to William Jennings Bryan. And whatever differences there may be along views of state craft , everyone must acknowledge that he has been a pioneer in the great work of reform that is now sweep ing over the country. He has had 1 his vagaries , but who has not ? 1J lie J has outgrown many of them and today , if he could be persuad ed to enlist , would be a worthy member in the ranks of progress ive republicanism. No matter whether he is ever president or not , his name and his work will live. He will live along with Daniel Webster , Henry Clay , James Gr. Blaine , Wm. H , Seward , Stephen A. Doughs and other distinguished Americans who fail ed to reach the heighth of their ambition , but who , perhaps , left a greater heritage behind than if they had succeeded in that aim. A mass meeting of our citizens has been called for the evening of May 2 , at the court house to make ! arrangements for his reception. Although the call for this meeting is signed by Judge Potter and E. Osborn , chairman and secretary of the Democratic County Central | committee , we are assured that it is not to be a partisan meeting. The call says : ktAll citizens , with out regard to party adiliations who j wish to assist in extending a core ? | ial welcome to Col. Bryan are' 1 most earnestly requested to bej present. " J That is proper. There should be a good turn out and there will , and plans should be made to give our distinguished fellow citi zen such a non-partisan rpception as will be a credit to our town and county. Ainsworth Star-Journal. Mr. Bryan will be at Valoniine all day Sunday , May uJ , and will make a non-political speech in the afternoon. Come to town and spend the day with the great Xe- bra.skan.
