he still some, stepper in a twenty-

.yu, iuui ring. ii OOK Maritl f ICS
tin, the big Omaha wrestler, three
minutes over the hour to plant Fred
die's shoulders to the mat twice in a
bout at the Boyd theater Thursday.
Apparently Beell had lost none o(
that old time skill and cunning which
he used to display a decade ago and
he made Plestina earn both falls. The
first came in forty-eight minutes and
four seconds and the second fall in
fifteen minutes and eight seconds.
In the first tangle Beell gave Ples
tina more than a merry run for his
laurels. For fully thirty minutes
Beel was the aggressor and Plestina j
had to show some great defensive
wrestling to keep from being thrown.
Two or three times ,ereell had Plea
tins in dangerous positions and only
the Omahan'i superior strength en
abled him to escape. .
At the gun Beelf tore into Plestina.
Before five minutes had elapsed Fred
die had Plestina on his knees. The
little Wisconsin man wasted no time
and he started to show all he had.
But Plestina proved the master and
strive as he might Freddie could not
roll his heavier onoonent river.
Charley Peters, the Papillion car
penter, was introduced to the aud
ience just belore the match with an
accompanying announcement that a
match between Peters and Stecher
tould probably be held at the Qmaha
Auditorium February i. Peters is in
ai'ape after an absence from the ring
of almost a year owing to a long
illness, and is now ready , to
meet Stecher. Stecher and Peters
were originally carded to meet
m Omaha last July 15, In case
Steelier has sufficiently recovered
from his neuritis the pair will clash
here February 3 before Stecher. goes
, to the coast to meet Adolph Ernst.

Again in Poultry

Kearney, Neb Jan. 18. (Special
Telegram.) The third day of the

Carson. Both these men have a num
ber of birds at the show. Gillette
specializing in. Barred Plymouth
Rocks. Carson is showing Single
Comb Buff Leghorns. . .
With the show remaining open un
til Saturday evening, it is thought
that the attendance records will be
broken foe a show in a city of this
size.
More cups were added today to the
string being given by the local Com
mercial club. A banquet was given
tonight to the visiting poultry experts,
after which a business meeting was

elderly farmer was very little im
pressed at, the manner in which hum
and bacon was being prepared. ;"You

are occupied by the owners. Only
13 tr cent are rented."
Others were of the same opinion
that it was useless to remain in the
city and fight the high cost of living.

places near Rushville, Gordon and
Ha Springs. The party will go to
their homes separately. I
One of the events that enlivener'
the trip to Omaha was the recent

Kushville Commercial club and one The funeral services of the late
of the prominert men with the farm

Omaha was not an advertising
scheme to tell land, but merely to

there was more out in the sand hill
country than most people thought.
Sheridan county was pictured as a
paradise by the visitors as contrasted
to city life.
Sheridan county farmers claim the
largest wealth per capita in the
state. There ' over $300 for every
man, woman and child in the county.
One farmer just couldn't see why
people insisted on living in the city.
"Why, out our way," he said, "there
are hundreds of acres of land that can
be purchased at from $15 to $30 an
acre. A person can pay for the land
easy with two crops.
It was the garden spot of the
world. To pnve their statements,
the farmers displayed cards bearing
the following:
"A Sheridan county farmer com
plained that he had only half a crop
of potatoes this year. His potatoes
went 300 bushels to the acre last year.
Farmers, don't have to fight potato
bugs in this county.

Weeghman Cuts'
Offer to Player Who
Refuses Contract
Chicago, 111., Jan. 19. Charles H.
Weeghman, president of the Chicago
Nationals, today announced his pol
icy in dealing with recalcitrant ball
players and offered the case of James
Archer, catcher as an obiect lesson
The veteran catcher recently refused
a contract calling for $4,000, claim
ing the cut from $7,500 was too great.
Mr. weeghman said today that he had
sent Archer a second contract "call
ing for considerable less than $4,000."
"I first sent Archer a contract
which called for $4,000, not because
of his ability as a ball player, but
for sentimental reasons," he said.
"This might be considered fair when
it is remembered that he batted at a
M0 clip and played in sixty-one
games last season. I've sent him a
second contract calling for consider
able less money than the first, and
he can take it or leave it, as he sees
fit, or find employment elsewhere. I'm
ready lo take the same action as I
did in this case with any ball player
wno wisnes it.
Mr. Weeghman pointed out that the
Chicago club's salary list last sea
son was $145,000 and asserted that
about $75,000 or $80,000 is all a big
league club can attord. He reiterated
former statements replying to threats
by David L. Fulti, president of the
Base' Ball Players' fraternity, to call
a strike of the Chicago players on
February 20, and that the club's spe
cial train would leave for the train
ing ground at Pasadeno, Cal., on that
date "if there is not a single player
on hand."
