Sporting.

The sparring exhibition which was
advertised to take place last Friday
night hetweenCharles Ray mond and E.
w. Edwards did not materialize, owing
to the non appearance Of the latter.
However, the management furnished
a pretty good entertainment with the
assistance of local talent. The wrest.
ling match which opened the exhibi
ton, between Raymond and Louis
Zoelle, ELECTED rounds of applause
The first fall was Won by RAYMOND in
six minutes, the second 10y Zoelle in
one and one half minutes and the third
and last by Raymond in nine minutes.
Timekeeper, Tony yOestreicher; referee,
T. Nagle. Next in order were sparring
contests between Tonv Oestreicher and
Louis Zoelle; William Bremen and
Jumbo" Keel; Ed. Cavanagh and
Emil Kellermann. and Raymond and
Scott Williams. These four set-tos,
each of which consisted of three three
minute rounds, with a minute rest be-
tween, were quite amusing, and the
boys showed considerabl talent in the
way they handled the gloves. The
honors were about evenly divided be-
tween the contestants. Timekeeper, w.

tected smoke coming down from the
attic. He stepped out into the street
and saw flames issuing through the
roof. He rushed up stairs with sever
al pals of water and tried to extin-

PLUNGED INTO TAE FWER.
A Trolley Car in Milwaukee Runs
Through Bridge Draw.

A Trolley Car in Milwaukee Runs
Through Bridge Draw.
Monday morning a trolley car went
through the draw of the Kinnickinnic
avenue bridge, on the south side, Mil
waukee, into the river and plunged
through the ice into the water. The
motor man was drowned and two pas
containing about twelve people, but
most of the passengers were rescued
without serious injury.
The dead are Miss Ehlmann, school
teacher; Mrs. Schmidt Kunz, a work
ing woman, ard John Kennedy, the
motor man.
The bridge was opened to permit the
passage of a fire boat breaking the ice
in the river
From all accounts the accident seems
clearly to have been due to the care
lessness of the motor man, Kennedy,
but he stuck to his post in vain en-
deaYor to stop the car which he had
permitted to approach too near the
open draw, and paid the penalty of his
carelessness with his life. The car
struck endwise in the river and was
submerged for about two thirds of it's
length, the fact that il did not go to
the bottom of the river. which is Is
feet deep at that point, being due to
the presence of thick ice This circum-
stance alone made it possible to rescue
passengers.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Great Fortunes Rising Like Monument


Not Difficult for Anyone to Become
Millionaire.
1t j. popularity supposed that a few
men represent the rich men of the
country This is great mistake. There
are thousands upon thousands of mil
lionaires n America. Now it so many
men succeed, what is the secret of that
success?
Two words answer, "energy and
health" Any man Of indomitable en-
ergy and perseverance, who is we'll,
can succeed. Aye, there's the rub,
"who is " ell" Men have the energy
and ability to succeed, but they do
not possess the requisite health, that
strength Of the nerves, vigor of the
mind and endurance and tirelessness
which make men succeed. They
feel languld, even weak at times, and
lack snap and ambition. They know
they have the necessary ability, but
tbeirenergies need rousing. In some
cases the stomach, liver and bowels are
at fault. Nine times out of ten, how
ever, 1T is lack Of nerve strength, nerve
vlgor and nerve power, brought on by
youthful errors. Numberless men who
have ample vigor at first break down
IN health from the excessive strain up
on their nerves and physical system
A young man of Fort Howard, Wis,
strikes the keynote of the difficulty,
and his advice, if followed, will put men
on the sure road to wealth. "From
constant worry over my errors," he
said, II suffered from the loss of sleep,
and became so nervous that [ was en-
tirely unfit for my business, in fact |
feared insanity. [ began treatment
with DR.. Turbin, to whom I was re-
commended, and who is we'll recon-
mended by me to all my friends and
neighbors. Nothing more need be said.
Get your health and you will stand
every chance of succeeding in life. IF
you are not we'll, if you lack the vim.
energy and strength to take hold of
your work, consult DR.. Turbin, the en-
inent specialist, who has restored me
to health and power to work..
DR.. Turbin will be in Watertown,
Friday, February Is, at the CONNER
cial hotel.

WEST PARIS.

No. 10, and Onward Lodge, No. Is, on
last Sunday, Rev. A. X. Bryant preach
ing the sermon. The first scripture les
son was the l47th Psalm after which the
choir rendered selection. After prayer
the second scripture lesson comprising a
part Of Matthew 90 and the LIST Chapter
OF James was read. A brief history OF
the order was given, and It's principles
mentioned, some Of which were to visit
the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the
dead and educate the orphan and elevate
the character of man. AS society Is
made up Of individuals, whatever in
creases the peace and happiness and
elevates the character OF the individual
will increase the peace and happiness
and elevate the character Of humanity
at large. There has never been, nor Is
there to-day, anything that so increases
the peace and happiness Of mankind and
SO elevates his character as to be a
Christian, and the above words found In
Acts 26-2S was the text, and the speaker
taking the motto Of the order, Friend
ship, Love and Truth, told with great
clearness and distinctness, how the lat
ter could be realized and brought to
light by becoming in reality what
Agrippa was almost persuaded to be.
