SENATOR HANNA'S
LAST LETTER

Washington, Feb. 81 Senator
Hanna's last written words we're in
the form Of pathetic letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in which he acKnowl
edged, in a way quite characteristic,
the president s though,fulness in call
ing at his hotel to inquire about the
senator condition.
The letter was written by the SEN
ator on the afternoon of Friday, Feb
ruary 5th, and was the last business
of any kind transacted by him. At
ter Senator Hanna's death, President
Roosevelt sent copies of it to Mrs.
Hanna in order that copies Of itmight
be made by the family for preserva-
ton, The original will be returned
to President Roosevelt, who will
treasure it carefully in memory of his
dead friend.
Elmer c. Dover, Senator Hanna S
secretary returned to Washington
from Cleveland late yesterday after
noon. Before leaving Cleveland Mon
day he was authorized and requested
by Mrs. Hanna to give the letter #
Senator Hanna to the public. Mr..
Dover says that early in thu afternoon
of the day the letter was written he
was called to the senator's bedside
to take up some business matters with
him. ..' ~.
That proved to be the last time the
senator was able to dispose of any
business, either public or private,
After transacting some business Mr..
Dover informed the senator that Pres
ident Rooevelt had called to inquire
abou: his condition.. ... 49,

Later the senator again expressed
his deep appreciation Of the presidents

called for pencil and paper and wrote

Devils Lake, Feb 25-As this is
the nome of Senator Hansbrough and
at the same time the seat of the hot
test fight against him, the OPPOSITE m
being led by Judge Cowan of the dis

the county is a royal one. The two
sides are 80 nearly equal in strength
in the county that nothi ng less than
the very best management can win.
Both IRE planning quietly, yet vigor-
ously, for the early spring con ven i
tions, the faction winning these being
practically in control Of the county.
The above appeared in last Thurs

here as anyone knows of-and will
not be except in the Imagination Of
a few hair-trigger statesmen.

Although the second winter meeting at Ascot Park, Los Angeles. will not open until Thanksgiving day. interest is centering in that event throughout the country. This is particularly the case in Chicago. where the authorities have interfered with the betting ring. and practically making a failure of tie game ir Chicago this season. Last winter at the initial meeting at Ascot Park there were more than five hun dred horses stabled there. nearly all of whom participated in the racing during the ninety days the game was on. Manager J. W. Brooks was tax ed to the utmost to provide stable room for the horses offered. and this year he is building double the amount of stable room provided at the last meeting. At this time he has appli- cations for stalls for about 500 horses for next meeting. many of them being the best running horses in the coun- try.
 With the opening of Ascot Park Thanksgiving day, a program will be started to last 120 days, and the stake events call for increased purses over those of last year Entries are com ing in fast, and judging from the class of horses entered, the meeting can not help being a greater success than was the initial meeting. It is being recognized by horse owners and train CTS that Southern California is an ideal place for winter racing. This was shown at the opening of the Eastern season, when horses that ran at Ascot Park had no trouble in annexins purses from horses that wintered in the East. and owners who were on the coast made money throughout the ear ly part of the season.
 Ascot Park is conceded to be one of the most beautiful and complete race tracks in the country. and while it was not completed at the initial meeting. next season will find it just what the doctor ordered"
 Col. J. w. Hamilton. who acted as presiding judge. and E. W. Cole. as associate judge last year, will return fo. the second meeting.
 While an effort will be made to stop betting at Ascot Park. it is not thought anything will come of it. If there Is any inkling that such action is likely to be taken by the board of superyis- ors. application will be made to have the Park made an incorporated city, and as nearly all of the ranchers and residents in that vicinity favor the park. there is no doubt Of its carrying out this plan. Then the city will make its own laws, and not be tied down to a board of supervisors.

SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT.
Manager Hurst Will Give a Fine Show of Championship Wrestling
 Friday Night.

Arrangements have been completed for a high class entertainment at the Gymnasium Friday night of this week. For long time there has been a wish expressed by sporting men here for a wrestling match between Sid Varney. known as the "Burly Blacksmith of the Junction." and some wrestler of repu- tatiOn who would give the local men a run for Lhe.r money. Not until yes terday has there been a wrestler here who backed up his claims to being a top-notcher. Jacob Hillerbran, cham pion wrestler of Germany, known as the German Sampson" arrived here yesterday morning, and immediately issued a challenge to VarEey for a match at mathematician. catch weights. This was promptly accept ed by Varney, and arrangements made by the Gym people to bring off the match in their hall, and Friday even ing is the date set.
 The articles call for three falls, the victor to place his opponent squarely on his back two falls out of the three. the style to be catch-as-catch-can the receipts to be divided sixty per cent to the winner and forty per cent to the loser There is also to be a side bet of s25O each.
 Hillerbran is not known in this coun- try to any great extent, but in Europe he is considered wonder. His great feat is wrestling with bears, and he does not draw the line on wIiG ones, either. but will take untamed animals with the same Zest that he tackles a tame bear. He has killed five bears during the years he has been wrestling and expects to do the act in this coun- try. He was formerly with the Ha- genback Shows. where he performed with the animals and gave exhibitions of strength.
 Varney does not require an introduc- ton to the Bisbee public. He holds | the title of champion of Colorado. and in his career as a wrestler has met Burns and the Terrible Turk" be sides many others of more or less note. It is safe to say that if he loses to Hillerbran there will be maLy sports in Bisbee who will have to draw on their savings for a rainy day, as they will back him to the limit as a win ner.
 After the wrestling match fJiller5ran will give his up-to-date gymnastic feats of strength as fOnows: Aero batic chair swinging, balancing, and many other marvellous feats of
