but there was such a vast difference in
their weights that the former gave VIII
hams bis back. Ziehr then had an OPP
Dortunity to tackle the big Cornishman
for first prize and to eyerybody's sur
prise he decided to enter. This was the
best contest OF the tournament and the
plucky fight Joe Ziebr put up against the
217.pouud man won him the admiration
of the crowd.
As they entered the ring the crowd
cheered the small man and when Will
liams picked him up and lifted him in the
air to throw him, Ziehr twisted and fell
on his side, saving himself, the crowd
went wild. Nearly a dozen times the
big Cornishman tried to throw the plucky
httle wrestler and just as many times
Ziehr saved himself The crowd ch eered
and cheered and cheered and Williams At
last lost his temper completely. One
time be threw Ziehr on his head and then
tried TO hunt him on the ground. The
crowd roasted Williams roundly for this
and the committee announced that they
would rule him out il il were repeated.
Finally Ziehr had the pluck to attempt
o throw bis man and came very near
doing so once, but he was finally put on
his back, but not until he had shown
Williams that it took something more
than mere weight TO win a wrestling
tournament. The fact that Ziehr had
just finished a hard bout with Martin
and weig ed but 156, as compared to
Williams 217, he deserves no small credit
for the showing he made. Williams had
done little or no wrestling and was per-
fectly fresh when he entered.
This gave Williams first money,
Ziehr, second, and Martin and Fisher
we're TO wrestle for third and fourth, but
Martin could not enter on account of his
injury and he gave his back to Fisher, en-
titling him to third money. The con-
tests put up by Fisher all day were some
what OF surprise and he showed him.
self man OF no little ability and con-
science.
The stirklers were John Ford, Fred
Trathen and Robert Gray and there was
very little kicking on their decisions.

Very Large Funeral.

The unusual proceeding OF holding
three funerals at the same time and at
the same church occurred yesterday after
noon, when services over the remains OF
the late Frank Benlf, who died at the
hospital from injuries received in an acct
dent at the Tamarack Junior mine, Louis
Turk, who was killed in the Hecla mine
last Friday, and John Chalicb, who died
Saturday of consumption, were held
The late John Chalich lived in the same
house as Turk and died the day after the
former was killed in the mine. He had
been i'll for some time and was % years
of age.
The funeral cortege was a very large
one, the three hearses giving it most
out-of-the-ordinary appearance. The
Austrian band, st. Joseph's and st
Johns societies attended the services,
which were held at st. Joseph's church.
The remains we're inferred at the Hecla
cemetery.

Worse Than War,

United States census figures for 1890
8 low that in the previous year IT'S, 694
persons died OF consumption and vast
ing diseases, in Great Britain alone the
approximate ratio OF these diseases was
LOO in 5000 deaths; in France 1,120;
IN Germany 1,270: in Russia 1860; in
Italy 900; in Switzerland l, 110; in Bel
GUM l, $50; in the Netherlands $50; and
Scandinavia 1,020 in 10000 deaths.
The enormous death rate from wasting
diseases is something awful and the
teachers OF both the private and public
schools throughout the wo-ld should be
compelled TO teach the children how to
take care of themselves and avoid the
risk OF reaph the rewards in later years
for the follies of their youth. Wasting
diseases in men are caused in a great
many cases by early indiscretions; later
excuses cause them TO become despon-
dent and nervous, worriment also adds
TO the breaking down of the coustitu-
ton, the nervous system becomes affected
and instead OF gaining in health and
strength, it is just the reverse. In women
the same condition is caused by uterine
or womb trouble and by neglecting to
seek proper medical advice to rectify the
abnormal condition before Il ia too late.
II you have that tired and languid feel
ing, tired most of the time, or headache,
backache, bearing down sensation, dizzy
at times, pain on making water, kidney,
bladder or stomach trouble, Indigestion,
at times cannot sleep or an unnatural
discharge. Remember a wasting con-
dition exists and sooner or later you will
reap the benefits. DO not delay to seek

GETTING IN PRACTICE.

The Allegheny Institute football team
is now getting down to steady work and
Is rapidly improving under the careful
training of Capt. Phil Meade, who is
we'll known in this locality rs player of
no mean ability, and they are now prac-
ticing hard every afternoon. AS yet
nothing can he stated positively rs to The
line up of the team, no only four of last
years team are back. C., :. s. and a.
*. Handy, Withers and Strader. OF the
new men Allegheny has most assuredly
drawn three prizes in Bentley, of the
Roanoke Y. NJ. C. \. team, Keeley, of
Pennsylvania, and Meade, who played full
back on the Allegheny team of 30 and
is captain of the team this year. Behind
the line Allegheny will be unusually
strong this year, having s. S. and A. *.
Handy for halves, Kelley for full and
Meade at quarter In the line there are
still some very important positions to
fill. e., center, one guard, one tackle
and an end S,rader, last years guard,
will be hack again ut the same position
and will doubtless give good account of
himself Bentley will hold down one
tackle in his own very efficient manner
and Withers, last years tackle, will be
transferred to right end this year. Bos-
ton, last years full back, has not decided
whether or not he will fight for Allie
ghany's glory on the gridiron again this
year, but if he does he will very probably
be placed at center O'Hara. an old
University of Virginia man, will, in all
probability, play one of the guards, and
Peck, Il Roanoke boy, is making strong
bid for tackle Kingery and f. Handy, al
though new at the game, will make any
one work that tries to cut them out as
guards and Coe. Mills and w. Raney are
working hard for left end and it is al
most "nip and tuck" with them ut pres
ent. With seven good men rs nucleus
and seven other good ones to draw to-
Captain Meade should not have such Il
very hard ROW to hoe and ought to he
able to put on the field the best team that
Allegheny has ever had before. Of the
men that did not return this year Diver
al center and Mcclure on right end will
BE sorely missed and especially Mcclure,
who was an exceptionally fiue END rush
ard whose place it will he very hard to
fill. The practice this week has been very
simple, consisting Of runting and..getting
down the field en- kicks, forming inter-
ference and some tackling, and in all the
candidates have showed up well. Cap.
tain Meade is temporarily laid up with
sore foot, having been spiked in tn game
of ball on Saturday. 1t will be we'll to
saw while on this subject that although
Allegheny goes off on trips they never
lose day from school work, as they take
them between Friday and Monday, it
being the policy of the school never to
allow athletics interfere with the school
duties

are far beyond 100 students to-day. Some
