of Chicago and Aurello Herrera of Bakers
Held. Cal., fought a twenty-round draw be
fore the Pacific Athletlo club tonight. Tha
fight waa an lntreestlng one, a splendid ex
hibition of cleverness on Hermann's part
nnd decisiveness on the part of Herrera,
With the disadvantage In height, weight
nd reach to overcome, Hermann fought
with splendid generalship and cleverness.
From the first to the fifteenth rounds Her
mann had a decided lead on point, using
hi left to Herrera' body .successfully, es
pecially In tbe infighting, of which there
waa great deal. Herrera, who was
stronger and showed the hardest punch,
tried hard to land hi knockout right on the
jaw, but did not land it squarely during
the entire fight. He staggered Hermann
aeveral times by hitting him on the bark of
the neck and head, but the clever ducking
and quick recovery of the Chicago lad
saved him from serious harm. '
After the tenth round Hermann gave his
attention to Herrera' face and head, using
a stiff left jab that found Its mark on Her
rera' face many times. As long a he
boxed with Herrera and kept him from set
ting himself, for a blow, Hermann had the
advantage, but in the exchanges Herrera'
superior hitting ability told.

Therefore, it appears to me, that a Just

which are strictly Independent and are not
connected In any way with the Nebraska

A( canvass of the atate will show that
there are more Independent telephone users

of the Nebraska Telephone company and
their sub-license, with the exception of
Omaha and South Omaha. Many counties
in the state have three and some as high
as five times the number of subscribers

have.
At the Independent telephone convention
held In Lincoln on January 13 and 24 of thla

Cadillac, who has won the sobriquet by hi
Insouciance. He carries In his pocket a
miniature of an ancestress, ome two cen
turies dead, whom he pledge a the
"fairest among women." HI chief, who
happen to be the governor of Canada,
recognises the likeness of the miniature to
Rene de Cadillac, niece of the French sec
retary at New Amsterdam. ' A wager is
made that the captain will not wed the
fair girl within six months, a condition
being that be go to New Amsterdam in
cog. This 1 th prologue. In the first act
the captain ha reached New Amsterdam,
and Immediately begin hi siege to the
heart of the fair damsel, who Is bespoken
for the attorney general of the Dutch col
ony. His valet in a fit of bibulous boast
ng mentions the wager, and a quarrel is
th outcome of the accusation brought by
.'he attorney general. A duel with dice 1
proposed. In the second act the duel 1
fought, but the French secretary- at New
Amsterdam, who ha discovered the Identity
of the cap'ain, cogs the dice, and th attor
ney general loses. The cheat I discovered
and the gallant Debonnalre is again ac
cused. He is taken away to th Dutch
prison, to be hanged a a spy. In act
three, while the captain is In prison await
ing execution., the attorney general behave
like a ruffian toward Rene, but ah 1
savad by th appearano of th captain,
who break in the door and dispatches the
rude Dutchman by a few well directed
passe of the sword. It isn't mad clear
how tbe captain got out of prison, but hi
appearance I timely. The fourth act 1
devoted to th return of Captain Debon
nali from New Amsterdam to Quebec with
shown with the ancient and given added
interest by the graphic story of their old
and new day.
Prof. ' Lee stated that the popular Im
pression that the Greek Is a dead language
would be quickly dispelled by a visit to I
modern Greece, especially Athens and Cor- I
