WA8EM OVERPOWERED THE ENQ-
LI8H CHAMPION.
CLOSE CONTEST WITH CARROLL
An Interesting Preliminary Wasem
Will Undertake to Throw Carroll
and O'Lcary Each Twice Within an
Hour Saturday Night.
Oscar Wasem of Lincoln took two
straight falls away from Joe Carroll ,
nn English champion , at the Norfolk
Auditorium Monday evening In as gen
uine and square shaped a wrestling
match ns the most exacting sport
would wlbh. Wnuem was quite clearly
the bettor man. The sturdy Gorman
took the llrnt fall In 22:25. : He got
thu second fall In 1C:05. :
The attendance at the match was a
trlllo disappointing but the crowd of
HpcctntorH were representative and
were anything but disappointed at the
f mat war put on by Wasem and Carroll.
There was plenty of enthusiasm
\
Monday evening , much more than on
the recent appearance of "Farmer"
IJurns In Norfolk. There was a tumult
of applause when Lawrence Hoffman ,
fresh from the state university , threw
Ills dusky opponent , Bruce White.
Hoffman took two straight falls out
of White In the preliminary which
proved to bo ( jultu an event.
Wasem and Carroll had not been In
notion long before It was apparent
that the Geiman was the better man.
He hud all of Can oil's cleverness , had
strength t < > spare and was a quick
thinker. In both Instances Wasem ,
when ho finally took the game In his
hands , scored his falls with a rush.
At times Wnsom saved himself from
dangerous positions by a splendid dis
play of strength.
Hut Carroll was undeniably clever
and the two men were close together
in weight. Carroll stated after the
match that ho was not In the best of
condition.
Wasem got the first match on an
nrm sizzle and a leg lock. The fall
came with a rush after Carroll had
forced the aggressive.
The last fall Wasem got on a back
nrm hold , an arm and crouch and a
back roll. The two falls took Wasem
thirty-eight and a half minutes.
Wasem , whom Norfolk people saw
on the mat for the first time Monday
evening , Is giving Nebraska a place
In western wrestling. Ho is thirty-one
years old and has been wrestling four
teen years. Ills recent performances
have been bringing him into the lime-
Can-oil gained the middleweight
championship In English wrestling a
few years ago. Since then he has
made a reputation In America. A num
ber of years ago he fought in the ring
in America.
Jack O'Lcary of Omaha , on his way
to Dallas , was an interested spectator
Monday evening : . A challenge issued
by him at the close of the match drew
from Wasem an offer to throw O'Leary '
nnd Carroll each twice in an hour of
wrestling. These conditions were put
Into a match for next Saturday In Nor
folk.
A BIG UNDERTAKING.
Wasem Offers to Throw O'Leary and
Carroll Each Twice Within Hour.
Can Oscar Wasem throw Joe Carroll
twice and likewise touch Jack O'-
Leary's shoulders to the mat twice and
all In sixty minutes ? This Is the task
that Wasem has set out for himself
Saturday evening and he has a stiff
side bet against Carroll and O'Leary
that he can do it.
There Is no doubt that Interest In
next Saturday's match Is going tc
eclipse that shown in any other recent
athletic event In Norfolk. Norfolk
people know how clever O'Leary Is on
the mat and they sized up Joe Carroll
Monday evening. On the other hand
Wasem's shoulders are broad enough
to carry a heavy load.
The conditions for the match next
Saturday at the Auditorium are that
IVasom score four throws In sixty min
utes wrestling time with thirty min
utes intermission.
Saturday's match came as a result
of a challenge from O'Leary Monday
evening and was agreed to after the
Wasem-Carroll match.
Y. M. C. A. Training Counts.
The Y. M. C. A. scored a "ten strike"
nt the Norfolk Auditorium Monday
evening.
Lawrence Hoffman , the son of W.
R. Hoffman of Norfolk and a popular
Norfolk boy , wont Into a preliminary
with Bruce White Monday evening at
the wrestling match. Hoffman Is a
University of Nebraska student and Is
home from Lincoln for Thanksgiving.
White is black in this case nnd Bruce
White Is head of the portorial depart
ment of the Pacific hotel. Incidentally
While Is some at wrestling and Is tak
ing on matches.
But the college boy sent the husky
darky to the mat , first in 7:45 : and
then in C-17. : Hoffman let the darky
take the aggressive but when ho final
ly got Into the game it was all over
In a Hash.
Hoffman after the startling surprise
he sprang Monday received an ovation
at the hands of the Norfolk crowd
present. But the secret of It all was
that Hoffman In Lincoln spends a
Bharo of his time in the Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium and during the last month
or two has picked up something about
wrestling.
So Hoffman , homo on a vacation , In-
cldentally gave Norfolk people a prac
tlcal illustration of ono side of Y. M
C. A. work in developing muscles and
* -ranging them under control. Hoff
\bad never been In a wrostllnt
match until Monday and his only train
ing was the Y. M. C. A. training at
Lincoln.
Why Kauffmnn Likes Wnsem.
E. H. Kaiiffnmn IUIH always taken a
special Interest In Oscar Wasem , the
Lincoln wrestler who is In Norfolk
Just now. For one reason Wasom is
a baker by trade. But back of It all
Is a visit Kauffnmn made to Lincoln
recently. Kauffman's shoulders are
Hie shoulders of an athlete but ho was
Koinowlmt startled to have a Lincoln
man hall him on O street as "Wnsem. "
Kniiffiimn was Interested enough to
look WaBom up and In passing through
Norfolk Wasem has always taken oc
casion to call at the Knuffmiui bakery.
Kauffmnn Is probably ns strong ns any
man In Norfolk but Monday evening
Wnsem offered to throw the second
wnrd councilman twenty-five times In
thirty minutes. And Wasem thinks ho
can do It.

The Omaha correspondent was mis
taken when he said that the present
price of hogs is lower than it has been
since eighteen years ago. The records
of the Salter Coal and Grain company
show that no longer ago than 1899 the
price of hogs in South Omaha dropped
to $3.42 on January 7 , 1899. The fol
lowing June Mr. Salter sold a cnr for
$3.50. In July of that year tho. price
advanced to above $4.00 but by Nov
ember it had dropped back to $3.73 ,
nnd it wns not until March of tne next
rear that it went above$5.00. Whether
ho present slump In price has yet
/cached the bottom is a question that
no stock dealer or grower can figure
out , but It Is hoped that the present
prices are only temporary.
FIRE THREATENED LANDMARK
Original McClary Store Building Look
ed Booked to Burn.
Fire for a few minutes Monday
evening threatened the old McClary
store building , one of the early land
marks In Norfolk.
The building discovered on fire about
8 o'clock Monday evening was the second
end store building to bo erected In
Norfolk. It was for years , occupied
by J. S. McClary with a general mer
chandise stock.
The old McClary building was
moved a good many years ago to the
rear of H. A. Pasowalk's implement
store. Mr , Pasewalk uses the old
frame building in the rear of his brick
structure for storing pipe and steam
fittings.
The fire Monday evening apparently
caught from the outside of the old
building. It wns discovered by boys
and was kept in check with buckets
until the fire department arrived. The
loss on the building Is nominal.
The McClary building Is the oldest
of all the ancient store buildings that
now survive. The old mill store alone
outdated it but the mill store is gone.
The McClary building was erected In
1870-1.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION DIS
CUSSED AT WASHINGTON ,
CENTRAL BANK OP ISSUE LIKED
Senator Hansbrourjh Will Introduce
Bllv < ° r Such an Institution Three
Other Schemes Advannu for Im
proving the Currency.
Washington , Nov. 25. Details of
many now projects for improving the
currency are being submitted to tha
president and Secretary Cortelyou and
are receiving such attention as tha
other exigencies of the financial situa
tion permit
Measures relating directly to the
cunency which are being discussed
among bunkers and' In-coming mem
bers of congress may be loughly
grouped under four heada a central
bunk of Isuuu , a central organization
of the existing national banks , the is
sue of additional circulation against
various classes of bonds other than
United States bonds , and the issue of
circulation upon general assets with
the security of a guaranty fund.
The project of u central bank , based
upon the general outlines of the Bank
of France or the Imperial bank of
Germany , lias apparently been at
tracting more attention of late than
at any previous time in recent years.
Senator Hunsbrough of North Dakota ,
who Is a member of the finance com
mittee , has announced that he will In
troduce a bill for such an Institution.
Rldgely Favors Central Bank.
Those who favor a central bank
point to the recent crisis as the best
evidence of the aid which It could
have afforded had it boon in operation.
Their view is that the national banks
would have been able to rediscount
their paper at sucti an Institution and
obtain its notes to any amount neces
sary to relieve the strain. It is con
sidered somewhat significant in some
quarters that Mr. Rldgoly , the comp
troller of the currency , has just de
clared for a central bank of Issue
after having in previous reports rec
ommended only a general credit cur
rency for the existing banks. The
utterances of Mr. Ridgely are not ,
however , considered to commit the ad
ministration , since Treasurer Treat
has a different plan which he is advo
cating whenever ho is invited to de
liver a public address on the subject.
Difference of Opinion as to Details.
It is so long since a central bank
existed or was even seriously dis
cussed in the United States that there
is much difference of opinion as to the
details of the organization. Those
who advocate it generally Insist , how
ever , that the secretary of the treas
ury nnd the comptroller of the cur
rency should be ox-officio members of
the board of directors and that the
president should appoint or approve
the selection of the head of the bank.
The provision of the German banU
charter in regard to circulation finds
a good deal of favor that after a cer
tain fixed limit of circulation ad'dl-
tlonal issues which are not covered
dollar for dollar by gold should be
taxed at the rate of 5 per cent. Oth
ers , however , prefer the greater free
dom of the French system , where tha
volume of note Issues Is practically
under the control of the bank , and
where the accumulation of a larga
reserve permits the bank to serenely
maintain a rate of discount much low
er than that of the Bank of Englander
or the Bank of Germany , while other
countries are in the throes of financial
convulsion.
THAW'S ' SECONDJRIAL DELAYED
Little Chance That It Will Be Called
Until January.
New York , Nov. 25. The second
trial of Harry Kendall Thaw , set for
one week" from today , will again be
postponed , and there Is little chance
that it will be called until some date
well along In January. The decision
to ask for a nostnonement has been
agreed to by both sides. It is duo
partly to the fact that the task of so-
acting a jury would be made doubly
: inrd by the approach of the holidays
and the prospect before the talesmen
of spending both Christmas and New
Year's day locked up under the care
of court bailiffs , and also to the fact
that Thaw's counsel has applied to
Jie court for permission to Inspect
the secret evidence presented before
the lunacy commission during tha
progress of the first trial. As an
added cause for delay there Is a jumor
that the attorneys now representing
Thaw may apply for a change of
venue , declaring a fair trial for their
client in Now York county is impossi
ble. Such a move , If made , would' be
based upon the alleged unfriendly at
titude of many of the local papers
and the extent to which the evidence
was printed and read in this county.
District Attorney Jer.ome will aerl-
ously oppose the granting of a change
In the scene of the trial.
Odessa Mutineers Sentenced.
Odessa , Nov. 21. Tha trial of

New York Nov. 25. According to a
report received hero , former Presi
dent Drover Cleveland is again sort
ously ill at his home in Princeton
He is said to have suffered a relapse
of the old intestinal trouble which af
looted him last June.
OMAHA BANKS WILL WAIT

Cities Will Co-Operate.
Omaha , Nov. 25.Vo would re ?
iuino unuh payments to all depoiltora

dent Cnldwell of the United Statei
National bank , when 111 * attention
was called to thu action of the Chicago
cage clearing house , which Is wrltliiK
to western banks to ascertain tholr
Euutliuont. " 1 bcllovo thla IB the first

to the present condition of things.
We have plenty of money and could
pay off evrry depositor , but , of course ,
we could not presume to resume ctuh

country still paid In paper. But no
largo Is our supply of cosh that w

put on the lid he became wroth and
introduced new war dances , spat fire
and brimstone and finally sat down In
the doorway and made life miserable
for all who approached the polling
quarters. Ho claimed to bo full of
rock and rye and wanted to be "rocked
In the cradle of the deep. " He was
loaded on a freight train Instead , and
"rocked in a stock car with the sheep. "
| O'Neill Frontier : An echo of the
j late campaign was heard In county
court on Monday afternoon , when the
trial of Sheridan Simmons , late fusion
j candidate for county Judge , for assault
land battery was had before Judge Malone -
lone and a Jury of four men.
L. G. Gillesplo was the complaining
witness and the case grew out of a
little political discussion last Thurs
day night between Simmons and Gil-
lespie and some others. Simmons
stated that the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad had contributed money to
the republican campaign fund in this
county and when the correctness of
such a ridiculous statement was qucs-
i Honed ho became violently angry and
j struck Glllesple , knocking him down ,
Glllespie had him placed under arrest
at once. The jury found Simmons
guilty of the charge and Judge Malonc
assessed him $5 and costs , amounting
in all to $29.00. Tuesday the defen-
( hint filed an appeal bond in the sum
of $100 , with James Davidson and M
H. McCarthy as sureties , and will take
the case to the district court.
Fremont Herald : The talk is
the rounds that former Senator Wil
Ham V Allen of Madison will bo c
candidate of the fusion forces nexl
fall for governor.
There are a number of good demo
crats and populists , too , who do nol
llko the Madison statesman very well
but MIOHO who know him bout renllca
that ho Is often misunderstood.
Hut. to the grent rank mid lllo In
Nebraska , William V. Allen IH appre
ciated , and It IB not ( on much to any
that ( hero Is not an abler man in tha
state.
If ho wore nominated , William V.
Allen would undoubtedly bo elected ,
and If elected , Nebraska would have
a chief executive worthy of the name
In every way. It will taku a mighty
strong man to defeat Governor Shel
don for re-election , and William V.
Allen Is that man.

body who reads The News. The News
roaelies about 3,000 pcoplo every day
In Norfolk , on the rural routes out of
Norfolk and within a radius of twenty
miles from Norfolk avenue anil Fourth

nnd , through n telephone , spoke to
everybody In Norfolk , every fnrm on
rural routes out of Norfolk nnd every
body in the immediate vicinity of Nor
folk. Pretty nearly everybody in Nor
folk reads The News. Nine out of ten
of the farmers out of Norfolk , on the
rural routes , read The News. With
the coming of the rural route , the
farmer has demanded n dally paper In
place of the old-time weekly and to
day the Norfolk farmers all read The
News every day , just as do the pcoplo
in town.
There are wonderful possibilities
presented in this circulation of The
News in Norfolk and right around the
town among people who do or could
be Induced to do their trading In Nor
folk.

And the advertising rates on The
News are so low made as low as low
can be In order to bring effective pub
licity within the rench of every busi
ness man in Norfolk as to fade away
altogether in the profits from increas
ed business that will result from ju
dicious use of The News columns and
well-worded ads.
For Instance , consider these yearly
contract bargain rates :
For $1 per week you could have a
Inch ad. once a week say Thurs-
lay with a brand new change of
copy every time.
For $2 per week you could have an
.1-lnch ad. , brand new each time , once
a week or a 5i Inch ad. twice a
week , with complete change of copy
ench time.
For $3.40 per week you could Imva
a 20-Inch ad. once a week , change of
copy every time , or you could divide
t up and run five brand new four-Inch
ads. or a 5-inch nd. four days a week
chnnge of copy every insertion.
For $4.20 per week you could run a
25-inch nd. once n week , change of
copy for every ad. That would be an
id. four columns wide and over sir
nches in depth. Or you could spread
t out and run a 5-Inch ad. five days
n the week new ad. for every day
ir a G-lnch ad. four days ( new ad.
every Insertion ) or a 4-lnch ad. every
single day In the year , with entirely
lew copy every issue I
For $ C per week you could have 38 %
nches of space during- the week ono
big ad. four columns wide and a half
i page long , or G > & Inches everv day ,
or 13 Inches every other day or 19
nches twice a week all new copy In
every ad. every Insertion , whichever
way you wanted it. Or you could
bunch It up and use more than half
a page every other week , at this rate.
The News Is reaching the people
whom the business men of Norfolk
want to talk to. Through The News ,
at an insignificant expense , they can
talk to almost every single person
within twenty miles of their place of
business , every single day in the week
and with brand new trade Induce
ments every time !
Has any business man a clerk or a
salesman or a stenographer who can ,
for the cost named above , talk to so
many people in a day , every day , and
present such telling nnd concise argu
ments ns these ads. In The News ?
Employ an nd. in The News as an
additional salesman. Put your own
arguments into his mouth. Make him
talk to everybody In this neighborhood
make him enter 3,000 homes within
twenty miles of your store every
day ; dress him up so attractively and
so convincingly that people will have
to stop nnd listen to whnt ho says ;
and have him say things that will In
duce people to come to you !
The opportunity Is one which prob
ably no city of Norfolk's size In the
United States can claim. It Is oppor
tunity thai belongs exclusively to Norfolk -
