THROWS PIERCE IN TWO FALLS
IN GOOD MATCH.
VETERAN TALKS TEMPERANCE.
Farmer Burns Tackles Cigars , Whis
key , Swearing , Tea , Colfco and Prof.
Pierce All In One Night "Oe Good"
His Advice ,
Farmer Burns , the wrestling mat
veteran , got a toe hold on the cigar
ette liiHt night at the Auditorium. He
put boo/e lo the bad with a half-Nel-
eon. Ho got a hammer-lock on the
wicked cuss-word thai couldn't bo de
nied. And ho put tea and coffee and
clgaro to the floor within the tlmo
limit ol u thirty-minute lecture which
prefaced his match with Prof. Pierce ,
the northwest champion.
The wrestling match was a strong
exhibition of the mat-art. Pierce is
n big htrong willing follow. Bono
nnd muscle met bone and musclo. The
v Norfolk Auditorium has not seen a
1 better match. Burns spent sixteen
minutes In gelling the first fall. He
got the second fall In twenty-five min
utes.
Wrestler Against Intemperance.
The farmer preceded the match with
n leclurc In which he went nftur In-
lemperanco as hard as he afterwards
went after the husky wiestler against
him. Hums IH an unschooled man but
he tnlkH stralghl out from the should
' . er. "Don't drink. Don't swear. Don't
binoke. Cut out tea and coffee , " was
his lext.
Swearing First Part of Toughness
"Swearing Is the first part of tough
nebs , " declared the 'grand old man of
the wiebtllng mat. ' "So Is the llrsl
glass of whiskey. So Is the cigar In
the corner of the mouth.
"The young fellows get a lltllo en
Joymenl out of It. They begin to bite
their linger nails and wear their hats
crooked. This swearing is a very
rotten thing but not ns bad as drunk
enness.
No Deal In Chicago.
"I put u man In the business Frank
Ootch. I want to say something
about him. I've heard more kicking
on that Chicago match here than any
lime since I left Chicago. They are
„ sore because Ootch didn't thrtfw
Hackenschmldt. Ootch couldn't make
- - Hnckenschinldt wrestle after the fel
low was beaten. Anytime a man's
yellow and sees he's beat he quits
About It being a job for another
match , I'll bay I don't think that thej
will ever wrestle again. We tried to
get Hackenschmidt to go to Kansas
City. Would he ? No ! When nt
American man can win a champion
ship newspapers hadn't ought to trj
to roast him.
"Hackenschmldt said ho was mis
* treated. I stood behind Gotch nnd no
ono touched Hack. When big strong
men wrestle for the championship
they can't play ping pong.
Hackenschmidt Yellow.
"Th Russian lion was yellow. I've
been thrown some myself and no ono
ever heard me call for a foul or a
draw like Hack. Beell threw mo last
time He's five-four and weighs 1C5 ,
nnd he's wonderful. I caught him nap
ping that first match. He's n comer
nnd I'm getting old nnd don't know
whether or not I'd throw him If we
quite as good as 1 used to be. But the
Y met again. I'm forty-seven and not
J old man Is still there. He cuts out
the sport-receptions and looks -after
his family.
"I'll tell you something. Hack
drank seven kinds of drink while he
was training. Gotch had one kind of
drink. I trained Gotch and there are
only two kinds of drink I stand for
milk and water.
"You don't have to be fighters nnd
wrestlers. Get a fine gymnasium for
your boys and make them civilized.
Stop those sassy ways that ruin
them. "
Burns concluded his lecture by Illus
trating and explaining the various
v wrestling holds. "Kid" Jensen of Norfolk -
' folk who afterwards acted as refwoo. ,
assisted in this. Burns said that when
he started wrestling there were eight
holds but that a book now gives 220
holds and he Intends to put out a
book with 500 holds. He explained
the famous Gotch "toe-hold" which
he showed was really a foot hold. He
said there were seventeen kinds ol
foot-holds.
Science In Wrestling.
"There is time In wrestling just
like music , " said the farmer dropping
{ Into mat philosophy. "Time is the
science of wrestling. There Is the
time for the move and countermove.
The man who misses time is gone if
the other fellow is on time. ' "
The match which followed was one
of the cleanest bits of sport over
seen In Norfolk.
Farmer Burns keeps to the ways
of frugality and straight-living. And
ns fast ns he gets money he sends
it back to his family on the Iowa farm.

The Alliance bovi < threw up the

lent Bnrrett of Norfolk then called
he executive1 committee together In

Ing of the State aerie. Every aerie

Ings are the biggest conventions tha

Take a hand in the Norfolk con
vention.
WHO OWNS THE HOG ?
Contest Over a Dakota Hog Promise
to Be Costly.
Miller , S. D. , May 21. The low
calf case may be outdone by a ho
case near Rockham In which the bus
ness men of that town have becom
Involved as arbitrators. It seems tha
Jake Lyon , a peaceable farmer nea
there , went to the hog lot of Charle
Sanger , another Inoffensive husbanc
man , In daylight and took away wha
he claimed was one of his strayet
porkers. Mr. Sanger saw from th
Held where he was working th
strange doings of Mr. Lyon and has
tened to admonish him , telling him t
put the hog back In the lot , which h
refused to do , and Mr. Sanger the
drove to Miller , about thirty miles
and swore out a warrant for his ar
rest on the charge of grand larcen >
The sheriff went nfter the accusec
and the time was set for hearing th
case. The defendant moved that th
matter be arbitrated by Rockham me
Instead of being heard as a crlmlna
charge. The plaintiff wished to b
lenient with his neighbor and agree (
to the motion. The arbitrators picket
by the litigants were Ed Sifklns
hanker ; Barney Hagrnnn , banker , ant
Charles Buss , postmaster and store
keeper , all of Rockham. A day wa
sot by the dispute settlers to go ou
to the Lyon ranch and see and tak
testimony as to the rightful owner o
tlio hog. It was decided that Mr
Lyoai keep the shoat and Mr. Sange
be given $5. The decision was s
unsatisfactory to Mr. Sanger that h
nt onto started for Miller to agai
have the case opened for a dlfferen
settlement. He secured replevin pa
pers and will now try to get the ho
In that way. The case has alread
cost the parties about $100 , and 1
has hardly got started , according t
Mr. Sanger.
It seems that the arbitrators too
a novel way of determining the own
ershlp of the hog. They turned it 1
with the Lyon hogs to see If It wa
acquainted. They then put It in wit
the Sanger herd of swine.
The Rockham people are consider
ably agitated over the outcome of th
case , as Ixith the contending partle
are prominent in that nclghborhooc
"By flying men often meet th
fate they wished to avoid. " This i
the usual experience of merchant
who "cut down their advertising ex
pcndltures to save money. "
As "the best pilots are ashore , " s
the people who can tell you nil abou
the dangers of "wasting money in at
vertislng" are UIOBO who bare neve
advertised at all.

worked Is the Hrothernood of the !
church , which recent b held Its Initial
meeting This Is an organization ot ;
the men of the church \\hlch bids I
fair to be aery strong force. The )
idling was a very enthusiastic and
itcrcHtlng one and Mr. Booth's ser
um In the evening was helpful to
his cause , the subject being "The
JrontoHt Story of llrotherhood Ever
'old. " He emphasized the thought
hat the principles of Christianity hade
o permeated the structure of society
t the piesont time , ami so governs
he laws of the land that It Is the mis-
Ion of Christ's disciples to show
hat there Is an Inner life stronger
him this outward conformity to gen-
rally accepted codes of morality. A
ilghly moral life Is not sufficient In
he hour of stress , temptation and
(
truggle. Mr. Booth had a largo
lass of boys In Sabbath school and
Mrs. Booth has been a very faithful
and earnest worker In a quiet , modest
vuy , ami both of these good people
vlll be greatly missed , especially
among those who know them best.

H. Mnckny , formerly superlntcn-
lent at the Institution , tells of a case
lOinewhat similar which happened
luring his administration. A woman
vho had been in the hospital two or
hree years and who was supposed to
je suffering from chronic melancholia ,
eslsted all efforts to feed her , put
ler to bed and bathe her. Ono day
.he attendant had filled a bath-tub
with warm water. The woman re-
'used to get Into the bath. At length
latlence ceased to be effective and
he attendant seized the patient and
ilunged her Into the tub. By this
tlmo the hot water had filled the tub
ind was heated to a scalding degree.
The patient jumped from the burning
water nnd In that Instant her reason
was lestored. As soon as the scalds
were healed the woman went home ,
as well as ever.

Chicago terminal lines may not per
mil the parking in their local yard
of Pullman cars used for the trans
portation of delegations attending the
republican national convention nex
month. This has been a common
practice In connection with big as

One of the Cleverest of All Muslca
Comedies May Come.
Already advance ticket orders ar
being received by the Auditorium fo
"The District Leader , " which wll
come to Norfolk Friday night , Jun

can be secured to guarantee the ai
traction. Several mall orders hav
already been received from up th
Bonesteel line , east toward Wlsner
and northeast toward Wayne.
This will be the theatrical event o
the season in north Nebraska , in cas
the attraction can be secured. Ther
are fifty people in the company
twelve clever principals and thirtj
eight chorus girls , who are said t
be unusually pretty and winsome.
The very fact that "Tho Dlstrlc
Leader" was written by that emlnen
fellow , Joseph E. Howard , is enoug
to make all who keep posted at all o
theatrical things , long for a chanc
to see this musical comedy.
Mr. Howard wrote "Tho Time , Th
Place and the Girl. " Ho also wrot
"Tho Flower of the Ranch , " whlcl
very nearly came to Norfolk last win
ter but failed on account of a lack o
public guarantee.
Norfolk people may consider them
selves highly fortunate in this oppor
tunlty to see "Tho District Leader.
Efforts were made by the Auditorium
management last fall to got a dat
from this attraction , but It was 1m
possible. The company has been 1
the west , playing Pacific coast cities
and is now returning. The season i
almost at an end and It is thus o
the return trip to Now York that Nor
folk may get the show.

LINCOLN GAINS POINT.
Placed on an Equality With Omaha
In Freight Rates.
The Burlington railroad has placed
Lincoln on an equality with Omaha
us to freight rates on the O'Neill line.
Walter S. Whltton , commissioner for
the Lincoln Commercial club , was
Quoted by the Lincoln Journal as fol-
'ows ' regarding the new tariff.
"So long as the Great Northern
owned and operated this line It would
not join in making through rates from
Lincoln , although through rates were
made over this line from Omaha and
from east of the river.
"I began trying to get through
rates over this line on January 19 ,
1907 , and this Is the result. I have
not secured just what I abked for yet ,
but the concession Is very near It.
While the rates have just been Issued
they have been made effective , under
authority of the state railway com-
mlsblon , from March 11 last. The
railway commission gave the road
permission to make this change prior
to that date.
"Before these rates were made it
was next thing to Impossible for Lin
coln jobbers to reach this line. The
best thing that could be done was to
ship to some junction point and pay
the local freight rate from thero.
The saving , I should say , is some
where near 50 per cent. The rates
will upply to all business shipped
smce March 11 , when the new tariff
became effective. "

The Noifolk base ball fan , the en
ergetic lojal fan who HUes to see Nor
folk with n team that can hold its own
with the best hero abouts. Is begin
ning to sit up and take notice.
He has heard Captain Shnl'cr speak
some good things about that lively
bunch of Norfolk youngsters who hnvo
got the raw material for a fast nine
once they get the necessary coaching.
He has seen several young men who
have dropped Into Noifolk the last
few months out for practice nnd ho
realizes that Norfolk has been fortu
nate in having some rattling good
men brought to town by their business
or occupation.
Knowing as he docs that it's money
that makes the old national game step-
up to the music he is mighty glad to-
llnd out that the bunch of pushers who
were elected base ball directors have
been getting financial help along the
avenue and that there are still a good
many more citizens who are in posi
tion to come thiough for the good
cause.
He knows that Norfolk has one fast
game In sight when the Benson Ragles
come here to play Norfolk the lirst
day of the Ragle convention.
He has heard one of the directors
say that Norfolk wants n game with
Nellgh right away , that the local nine
has written to Plalnvlew and has re
ceived an offer from Hooper to play
two games here.
He thinks the course of the baseball
management In going after a good bat
tery that will always be ready for a
game Ib along the right line.
He thinks the new suits will look
well and the scores that the suit-
wearers make will look better.
So ho Is going to boost.
