HERE'S THE HOLD
SNAP WENT RIB
Columbia Wrestling In
structOr Gives Lesson.
REAL THING IN REALISM
Told Football Player He Could Break
Stat, Pressed Too Hard,
and Did It.

Realism was added 10 a lesson in
wrestling last week at the Columbia
University gymnasium, when an instruc-
tor illustrated a rib breaking hold by
splintering a brace OF the thOrax of a
former football player.
Wrestling has become popular with
the members OF the late eleven since
the sport of the gridirOn was abolished
By the faculty and the students organ
iZatlOns and their activities have been
transferred 10 the mat The apt pupil
who is now in plaster OF paris until
further orders is Henry b. Post, who
was formerly an end on the team and
last season achieved a broken arm in q
memorable scrimmage.
Wanted Harmless Amusement.
Post, in common with others who were
wont 10 chase the pigskiH sphere, pined
for some harmless substitute for the
American college game. and he found
il. There is JOY among the athletes. too
for they now feel that unless wrestling
is abolished they viii have an appro-
pirate channel for their activities.
Young Mr.. Post was taking his wrest-
ling lesson from Frederick Gruben, the
new coach. Gruben was illustrating the
locks.
Nov" said the instructor. 'Get me
show YOU this little trick. If / wanted
10 l could break one of your ribs with
this hold. You can tire your opponent
out any time with this. It's this way.
and pupil and instructor engaged in sew
eral twists and turns.
Could Break a Rib? Yes.
IT'S a wonder" said Gruben. 'fsn't
it? Why II should be as easy to break
rib with that as rolling off a log. Now,
All show you again"
Gruben gave his pupil a bearlike hug
Something snapped and Post turned
white III the face
You did it all right" said he
whats the natter" asked Gruben
Nothing" was the reply. Nothing
much. You've broken a rib, that's all. "
Post was taken to his rooms and a
physician was sent for to provide him
with a jacket of splints and plaster.

GRAND AMERICAN
At INDIANAPOLIS
Big Annual Shoot There
This Year.
CHAMPIONSHIP CONTESTS
Will Be Held in Connection With Prin-
cipaI Events-Calls for $50
CHAMPIONSHIP CONTESTS

NEW YORK, Jan. BIT has been
finally decided that the next grand
American handicap at targets, the
worlds greatest trap-shooting event.
shall take place at Indianapolis in June,
1906. Chicago, Denver. and Columbus,
Ohio. tried hard to get the big shoot but
the Interstate Association, which con-
trolls the blue ribbon event. once again
selected Indianapolis. where last year 5
handicap met with such great success.
Championship contests viii be held in
connection with the Grand American
Handicap. One will be for amateurs Elk
clusively and the other for professionals.
The conditions call for 150 targets each,
eighteen yards rise. s. entrance. open 10
the world. The winners Of these two
events should certainly be hailed as
champions in their respective classes, as
every amateur and professional OF any
account in the United States will surely
be in attendance.
New Entry Rules.
II has also been resolved that in flu
ture Grand American Handicaps all con-
testants must send in with their respect
i've applications a specific statement of
their respective general averages for the
six months prior to the date of said ap-
plication; IL an applicant be club MEM
Der, then his statement must be certified
to by the secretary Of his club.
The Interstate Association has also de-
cided TO hold annually four tournaments
on lines similar TO the Grand American
Handicap, viz: One in the East, one in
the South. one IL the West, between the
Mississippi and Salt Lake. and one on
the Pacific coast. These sections were
defined by geographical limitations as
follows: Eastern section, east of Buffalo
and Pittsburg; Southern, south of the
Ohio river: Western. west of the Missis-
sippi river and east of Salt Lake and
Ogden. From this division of territory
il may be seen that the Grand Ameri-
can Handicap itself will in future be
held in one of the three Middle West
States-Ohio, Indiana or Illinois.

Lime and Bacterial Life in the Soil.

1t is important to know what condi-
tions in the soil are the most favorable
for the development and maintenance OF
that life in the soil called bacterial. 1t
has been found that acid soils are infer
tile, not because there is not a sufficient
amount of fertility contained in them,
but because these little organisms, which
are digestors of plant-food, cannot grow
and thrive in them. 1t has been found
hY actual experiment that where no lime
was applied the number of bacteria have
diminished, whereas, by the application
of only 900 pounds of lime per acre,
they have increased in one gram of soil,
within the space of seven weeks, from
7O3, 900 to 2,075 900, and where 1000
pounds of lime were applied, they have
increased from 5O4, 900 to 6,662. 900 in
seven weeks.
Before plants can feed on the organic
matter in the manure and in the crops
ploughed down. that organic matter
must be broken down or decomposed.
This decomposition is affected by the
action Of ferments or bacteria, and moth
irg has been found that will so help
along this bacterial action as lime. 1t
promotes the changing of dormant nj.

It corrects acidity and supplies the min-

Not only is the sweet condition If the

hut it is just as essential to the life end

and in obtaining nitrogen directly from

tue of clover plants. So that lime does
not only assist in the preparation OF
plant food in the soil, hut also in the ac-
emulation of this food.

Natures Way Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue
building plan of treating chronic, linger-
ing and obstinate cases of disease as pur-
sued by DR.. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan of restoring health.
He uses natural remedies, that is
extracts from native medicinal roots,
prepared by processes wrought out by
the expenditure of much time and
money. without the use of alcohol, and
by Skillful combination in just the right
proportions.
Used as ingredients of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry
bark. Queens root. Golden Seal root,
Bloodroot and Stone root, specially exert
their influence in cases of lung, bronchial
and throat troubles, and this uDIsCov-
cry" is, therefore, 4 sovereign remedy
for bronchitis. laryngitis, chronic coughs,
catarrh and kindred ailments.
The above native roots also have the
strongest possible endorsement from the
leading medical writer's, of all the several
schools of practice, for the cure not only
of the diseases named above but also for
Indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious
ness, obstinate constipation, kidney and
bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter
where located.
You don't have to take Dr. Pierce's
say-So alone as to this; what he claims
for his discovery is backed up by the
writings of the most eminent men in the
medical profession. A request by postal
card or letter, addressed to DR.. r. V.
Pierce, Buffalo. n. Y, for little book
of extracts from eminent medical au-
thoritieS endorsing the ingredients of his
medicines, will bring a little book free
that is worthy of your attention If

any old chronic. or lingering malady.

Some Poultry Evils.

George y. Palmer, a prominent Eng
lish breeder, very truly says:
The most serious evils of present
farm mismanagement are crowding the
birds on an acre or two of poultry
tainted land just around the homestead
that has probably been overstocked
with fowl for hundreds of years; in
breeding, which. however useful oc-
casionally in show stock, can only re-
suit with utility stock in decreased
productiyeneSs, attended by liver dis
ease and tuberculosis; the neglect Of
pure bred sires, which are just as i'm
prcssivc i'll the poultry yard as in lar
ger stock; insanitary houses, improper
feeding. consisting too often of any odd
sack Of grain that happens to be about
the place or, worse still, solely of pur-
chased corn; the greatest evil of all,
setting eggs indiscriminately from the
whole flock without the slightest at
tempt ut selection unless it is fer the
largest eggs, which result in the great
est proportion Of infcTtileS and usually
bring out the weakest chickens"

Fasting Spiders.

An interesting instance of the mich
discussed ability Of spiders to exist for
lengthy periods without food has been
noted by J. II. Fabre. the eminent nat
uralist, who while studying the habits
of the spider known as Lycosa narbo.
nensis observed that this spider carries
its little ones upon its back during sew
en- month; and that during this time
the young spiders consume absolutely
no food. He concluded from this oh,
servation that it is the solar heat and
light that for them directly take the
place of nourishment. In other words
'the motor heat in these. young ami
mails instead OF being released from
the food might lie utilized directly as
the sun, source of all life, radiates it.

HOPPER FEEDING.
An Experiment which Seems To
Demonstrate Its Superiority.

An Experiment which Seems to
Demonstrate Its Superiority.
An experiment station worker sends
some interesting information about a
lot of chickens. He says:
EARLY in July we had an incubator
hatch come off, and the chicks, forty
seven in number, were given to three
hens. One, Brahma, was given twen-
t., one Crpington hen fifteen and a
Barred Rock hen twelve. All were
placed On free range. The Brabma
was placed on grass and fed nothing
but soft food for the first two weeks,
the food being equal parts oatmeal,
cornmcal and bran, with % per cent
meat meal This was fed twice day
and the other two feeds bread and
milk At the end of two weeks we
fed two mashes daily, hard grain In
morning and spr0uted wheat at night.
The other two hens were put in the
middle Of Il twenty acre field, and
hopDer flied with cracked wheat and
cracked corn and coarse beef scraps
mixed with the grain was put in each
coop. They We're only visited twice
a week. All the hens were given full
liberty after five days, and one result
is tie cornfelI chicks are as wild as
cartridges; have to crawl up on hands
and knees to get even a glimpse of
them Noting that they were growing
right away from the others that were
hand fed, I went out one evening with
a set of small scales and box to
weigh them. The chicks were not Sc
lected at all; were just taken from
under the hen as l could reach them.
-Four were weighed from each coop.

What of that as a showing in favor
of hopper feeding? The chicks are
twcnty-siX days old. Hopper feeding
makes the work twice as easy for
poultrymen. We have hoppers here
now and have over 1000 growing
youngsters Since this style of feeding
was established here l get up three
quarters of an hour later of morning
and do not have to break my back

READY FOR THE FRAY.

The republican and democratic
PARTIES are now ready for the gen.
eral election fray which will come
IN November The nomination of
James Davidson for the republican
candidacy has united the republi-
can party as nothing else could
have done. Senator Spooner came
all the way from the east to endorse
Davidson by his vote and promin-
emit men of the two factions that
have split the party for the past six
years have united in his behalf
This morning it is announced that
Irvine LenrOot, the defeated can
didate, will cast his ballot for Gov
ernOr Davidson and the possibility
of q second split is cast to the winds.
Senator La Toilette has learned
that personal dictat1on OF voters
will not go in Wisconsin, but he is
by no means entirely out OF the
running. Men who have supported
aim in the past years and deserted
INN this fall to vote for Davidson
are still true to his beliefs, and Len
roots defeat does not mean any
thing beyond the fact that the re-
publican party has gotten together
again and is ready to meet the
common foe, Democracy, with
united ranks ONCE more. The, issue
can not be in doubt. Despite the
fact Mr.. Awkward is a strong. man.;
d good man, fearless fighter, his
defeat is spelled now as clearly as
it will he after the day Of the
November election. How different
is the attitude of Mr.. Lenroot
and Mr.. Merton, the defeated
democratic candidate; Lenroot an
nounces he will support Davidson
Merton is reported to have refused

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Platteville Normal Looks for This
Year to be Banner One.

The Platteville Normal school
has entered upon its forty-frst year
of work. In the forty years since
the state established the normal
school it has changed wonderfully.
From a small body of students and
a few teachers it has grown until
now there are 200 students in the
normal department and % instruct
Ors.
The enrolment this fall is larger
than 1t has been at any one time
for several years. There is an
unusually large number Of high
school graduates entered this fall.
The lower departments are also
large. All the rooms of the model
school are well filed
This will be the last year in the
old building. Next year it will be
abandoned for the more modern
and commodious new normal build
ing:
Platteville still retains the distinc-
ton of having larger proportion
Of boys than any other normal
school in the state. The young
men cor stitute full 'one-third of the
entire normal department. The
prospects for football are bright,
and tits thought that this will be
one Of the most successful seasons
Platteville has ever had.
A novel reception was given the
new students by the faculty and the
old students. Two bonfires were
built on the back campus. The
serior class organized last week
and elected these officers: President,
Clarence Rubado, Platteville; vice
president; Velva Bradbury, Fenni-
more; treasurer, Earl Lightcar,
Hazel Green; secretary, Corinpe
Gebhart, Platteville.
