SOUTH DAKOTA CAPITAL CHANGE
Legislature Will Wrestle With Problem
of Movinq From Pierre.

of Moving From Pierre.
Pierre. S. D., Jan. 3.-The Legislative
session which will begin in this city next
week will have several propositions to
discuss which will take up great deal
of time. Two of the matters which
will be of general importance to the
state will be the matter of enacting
some measure which will bring into
the state treasury sufficient revenue
to meet the growing expense account
Of the state, and the other will be the
matter of reappointment, In which the
factor of the right of the legislature
to take action at this session will be q
leading one. These two matters might
be considered as of the greatest general
importance of any which will come be-
fore the body for action.
OF course the capital removal ques-
ton will be lively one and will prob
ably cause more noise than either of
these, but 1T is in fact more of a local
fight than one Of any general import to
the whole state.
The question Of taxing corporations
will also call out number Of bills. but
that really comes under the head of
revenue, and should be classed as a
side issue to that measure.

MORRIS MARKHAM DEAD.

Lake Massacre.
Special to Times-Republican.
Spirit Lake, Jan. 3.-At Greenwood,
Wis, recently occurred the death of
Morris Markham, who was a figure in
the early history of northwest Iowa. He
was the first to discover the terrible
Indian outrage which is known as the
Spirit Lake massacre.
Markham was a bachelor and a
boarder in the home of j. NJ. Thatcher,
located in a grove east of East Okobo-
il lake, on land belonging to the Arthur
farm. He was trapper, but was pos
sessed of several head of cattle. This
fact saved his life, for he was in EN-
met county in pursuit of his stray stock
when the massacre occurred. Return
ing he lost his way, finally bringing UP

He found it dark and desolate, but was
not appraised of the terrible butchery
until he found himself in the center

Special to T1meS-Republlcan.
Davenport. Jan. 3.-The Davenport
syrup refinery, operated by the glucose
trust and employing 400 hands, has
shut down for want of coal. Dealers
here have been unable to supply the
cheaper grades of soft coal for some
time, and now are unable to keep the
factories supplied. Word from other
Iowa towns indicates similar short
age.
Des Moines, jan 3.-Des Moines coal
dealers are of the opinion the serious
phase of the coal situation Is safely
past and that a few more days OF mild
weather will permit them to catch en-
tirely up with their orders and to put
ample supplies In the coal bins OF al
their patrons.
During the cold snap coal was being
consumed faster than it could be deltv-
cred, but during the moderate weather
of the past few days it is claimed tina,
the consumption of coal has not equaled
the rate of supply by nearly SO per
cent. The emergency demands have
been supplied, and teamsters are now
delivering coal to supply regular or
ders, and orders that during the crisis
We're supplied only in part.
A large number of outside teamSters
ATTRACTED by the reports of the situa-
ton here. and more especially farm
ers, have come to the city and engaged
in coal hauling. They have helped the
situation materially. But few of them
have hauled for dealers, most of them
buying their coal at the mines at bu-
shell rates and delivering 1t at profit
Prices they have received for coal are
responsible largely for the report that
the price has been advanced to $S.50
and In some instances 81 q ton.
The dealers have been working team
sters overtime and paying them the
scale in order to eaten up With ord
ers, and 1t is their intention to do this
and If possible to induce number OF
them to work on Sunday that every
bit of the advantage afforded by the
mild weather may be realized upon.
So far no authentic cases have been
reported where dealers have advanced
the price While complaints were made
to this effect it has developed that the
extra charge was due to the fact that
in making the deliveries teamsters had
either to carry the coal into bins, or
We're obliged to use snatch" teams to
get up to the coal holes.

FIGS. The. CROSS COLLAR HOLD


The man who delights in rough and
tumble exercise-and he is numerous
will find Cornish wrestling just about
the acme of his favorite kind of sport.
He will also discover that, for all its
apparent go-as-you-please methods, it
is not lacking in scientific qualities,
and that he will get plenty of health
full excitement from the most pictur-
esque of all styles of wrestling.
The coat used for Cornish wrestling
can be easily made at home 1t is of
stout canvas, with no collar loose, ell
bow sleeves, and a tail coming well
down over the hips. 1t is built so that
it will lack about eight inches of meet
ing over the chest. The fronts are
Joined by three pieces of stout rope
hooked over buttons, securely sewed,
so that hard pulling will not loosen
them. The topmost rope is across the
nipples, and the space between each
rope is eight inches. The sleeves are
loose so that a wrestler can get a
hand up through them for certain
holds. The jacket is skinny in front
TO prevent holds, tthe ropes, which

chances of holds to a minimum. The

the major part in this sort of wrest-
ling. Leg wrestling is fair, however,

! tripping being scientifically employed.
The celebrated grapevine, known to
every American schoolboy, is found In
its perfection in Cornish.
Cornish has not become well known
in America, owing to the fact that at
one time it abounded in cruelties. The
miners of Cornwall, among whom it
originated, formerly wore heavy soled
and spiked shoes, with which they en-
deaVored to cripple one another, and
they had no qualms about choking
Nowadays, however, even Cornish
men refrain from all brutality, and
their favorite sport is no longer con-
sidered inhuman.
In the coal mining regions of Penn
sylvania and in the copper fields OF
Michigan, where many Cornishmen
are settled. this wrestling is the favor
its pastime and every holiday brings
numerous bouts.
The cross collar hold. described be-
low, is generally barred in present day
bouts, but it is given with the idea
that some knowledge of it may come
in useful at some time or other for
purpose of self-defense against a
ruffian. 1t is one of the NOSE effective
choking holds known.
AS in all forms of wrestling, many
of the hundred or more holds possible
in Cornish can be studied out and
gained after a little practice with the
three described.

livelihood. Those who do not travel
to Manhattan every day live by con-
tributing to the necessities of those
who do. In this suburban zone there
are other large cities; but they have
become subsidiary to the metropolis,
and much of their population is made
up of persons who have changed their
residence from the congestion of the
little island that is the center and the
life of this large territory.
The suburban population has driven
back further and further from the
city the dairyman and the farmer.
Farms have become town lots, dairies
have given place to "ginger-box" SUI
burban homes. And just as the subur-
ban district makes slow but inevitable
conquest of the farms, so is the bust
ness area of Manhattan Island con-
stantly creeping forward driving grad
ually to the upper end, to the borders,
and off from the island entirely the
residence population. The encroaching
business district follows the two main
arteries from the lower end of the city
to the upper end, these being Broad
way and Fifth avenue.
Residence after residence Is deserted
by it's occupants; few alterations are
made a window or two enlarged, some
plate glass is put in, a score of signs
are hung out, and the old brownstone
mansion has become "a business build
ing.
Then comes the next stage of devel-
opment; the old building, with one or
two of its neighbors, is razed, and in
its place rises a magnificent structure
OF steel and stone. And as this in
evitable process goes on I'm the main

New York this population is increasing
at the rate of 100 per cent. year. For
its host of Commuters" this railway
company runs 200 trains every day at
intervals of ten minutes during the
morning and evening rush" hours.
Before 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the
great stone vessels of New York's
business district begin to empty into
the streets the multitude of human
beings which fills them. And the hui
man mass in the narrow channels of
the streets flows toward the borders
of Mammal tan island. The main stream
is increased by the contents of a hun
dred tributaries, so that it grows more
dense and black as it's course contin-
ues. At the waters edge the black cur
rent is stopped for a moment, forming
in eddies and pools in the houses of
three dozen separate ferry lines. Then
there is heard the peculiar metallic
clatter of the wheels that tighten the
mornings of the ferry boats; the gates
of the stations are thrown open, and
the dark stream goes on, filling the
queer crafts that crawl slowly across
the river to the opposite shore, like
great fiat bugs on the water.
At the other side are the trolley-cars
and the trains; and the stream flows
into these small tributary channels and
is carried rapidly away by them, and
scattered broadcast over an area of
many thousands acres. The great CEN
ter of the city is empty and silent UNI
til the morning. Then the black torrent
comes back. like a flood, on the little
island, where it boils and surges in
endless turmoil until the days end.
Every twenty-four hours, Ii is estimat-
ed, more than 100000 people go be-
tween Manhattan island and the land
surrounding it. About 100000 people
cross the Brooklyn bridge in that time;
two or three times as many come and
go on the ferry boats; and half a mill
lion arrive at and leave New York
city by train.
Practical questions face the man of

that condensation Of population On

jacket in one hand-preferably tbs
left-and hold it on the small of the
back. With the legs we'll apart, so az
to give a firm and broad base, form
an obtuse angle by bending the body
forward. Hold the disengaged open
hand at arms length with the palm
out towards the opponents face and
about a foot from it.. (Figure l.,
Keep the position while sparring fol
a hold, which consists, primarily, in
grabbing some part of the jacket
Agility and keen sight are necessary
to do this effectively.
The CrOwbar.
Perhaps you manage to get a hold
on your opponents sleeve. In thai
case shoot your arm up his sleeve and
firmly grasp the opposite side of the
coat so that your wrist will bear on
the opponents neck. (Figure g.
Then, keeping your body out OF
harms reach, grab a wrist of the OPP
ponent with your dfsengaged hand
step on the foot nearer you, pull him
towards and past you and slam him
down on the floor.
Usually you Will have to thresb
your opponent all around the floor al
arms length before he will tire suffi.
GENTLY to be thrown down.
The Cross Collar Hold.
To execute the cross collar hold get
the opponents jacket in a wad around
his neck and well down on his arms.
Run one hand through the crumpled
mass in front of the neck and under
the chin and grab the jacket at the
opposite armhole. (Figure 81 Then put
the heel corresponding to the arm UNI
der the chin back of the opponents
i, leg and try to toss him backward.
The opponent will find that, try as
he will, his hands will not be of much
use to him. He will try backing and
breaking away, but little pressure Of
the arm on the neck and chin will
make him stop.
AS this hold and the crowbar can
be made quite rough by means Of
choking, it would be better, and would
serve the purpose of exercise just as
we'll, not to carry the holds to their
ultimate issues, but, once they are
gained, count them as points and re-
lease the opponent.
The Grapevine.
This is the most famous of all the
Cornish holds, and is oftenest used. 1t
can be secured in a variety of posi-
TONS. A common way is as tOlloWS:
Get the opponents jacket punched
around his neck and clasp his head in
an arm, the hand of which grasps the
jacket by the side of the other hand.
Entwine the leg nearer the opponent
around his leg close to you in such a
position that your toes come in front
of his shin bone. Figure A. Push the
opponents leg out behind from under
him, press down with the arms and
pull his head under and his shoulders
on to the floor.
Executed in this fashion the grape
vine corresponds in general to the
flying mare" in Cumberland and
Northumberland.
