er:
"Doc" Fillmore, of 112 Main street,
Rockford, ILL.,, is looking for all the
trouble that James Alldredge, the Leon
wrestler, is able to furnish him in a
wrestling bout.
Fillmore has seen Alldredge's publish
ed challenge to wrestle any man in Illi-
nois, and is willing to go up against the
husky Iowa giant, the only condition he
names being that Alldrcdge shall be
Alldredge, of Leon, and nobody else.
Fillmore is not looking for 90 with
Frank Gotch or Farmer" Burns under
an assumed name.
As Alldredge has appeared here in
matches, however, there is no reason to
doubt that he is real. He lost match
to Burns here at the Mirror theatre,
about five months ago, and Saturday
night wrestled the Farmer" again at
Iowa City, where he was again defeated.
Filmores acceptance of Alldredge's s
challenge is as follows:

Big Picnic for Iowans.

The great annual event to the
thousands Of Iowa people scattered all
over Southern California is the Iowa

held.
The place selected for 1904 is East

settled on February I'D.
Every Iowan and his family, together
with friends, are most heartily invited
to this great yearly outing. If you are
here to live, or as a tourist, or visitor,
turn out and meet your friends from
all over the state. Each one should
bring ample lunch, but hot coffee is
provided free to all lowans.
The main object of the picnic is to
afford friends a social reunion, and so
the day is mainly devoted to sociability,
Spread the news over Iowa and South

many cases dependent On Chinsc and

To the Grand Jury. We feel that the
interests of Justice. as well for the
Government as the defendant, require
that the Interpretation shall be full
and accurate. In the eases which
have been heretofore brought before
the Grand Jury we have done the best
we could with the interpreters pro

ourselves. to the Territory and to per.

the submission Of cases to us by
means of incompetent interpreters. So
far as the Japanese witnesses are con.

has been obviated by the consent Of
Mr.. Doyle to act as interpreter, gra.

thank him for his services.

Major Mihara wears a whole bunch
Of medals and crosses on his breast,

the fight at Nanshan Hill and was one
OF the most trusted aides In carrying
out the orders of the General In com.

Fusblmi, but Is easily seen to be the
iavorite Of every one In the suite.
He Is short, stocky and moves with
alertness that has not been laid aside
since he left the Manchurian battle
lines. He talks but little English and
few words with him shows the secret
In his makeup that constitutes the
ideal japanese soldier. His "A war is
not over until all the battles are
fought" shows the quality that takes
nothing for granted. His "The Rus

but ours are as good" shows not q
trace of braggadocio. 1t is easy to be.
