1905 has been for Forsyth year of
marked improvement and growth.
We might enumerate the improve
ments that have been made in our little
city and note the marked development
along these lines. These things are
landmarks in themselves and are self
evident. It is not what Forsyth has
but what she needs, that is pressing
most strongly. We're the human
mind to be satisfied and inwardly con-
tent when it had attained the object
sought for the time beil g, it would
soon become stultified and Incapable of
activity. The man who is satisfied
with the present earthly conditions
surrounding him is clog in the
wheels of human activity and both a
dullard and coward. Forsyth is a
good town but she must be better
one. The most insistent demands we
would make on 1906 are modest, but
they must surely come. We need
them in our business. There are a
vast number of things that must come
sooner or laterter, but the demands
for these are imperative:
1. Chicago and Milwaukee R. R.
2. Montana Road.
3. Public Water Works.
4. Opera house.
5. Public Library.
6. Wool Warehouse.
7. Steam Laundry.
s. New depot.
g. New Court house.

how Legislature viii Be Organized

The official canvas of the vote
shows that the next Legislature will
stand in the Senate nine Republicans
and eight Democrats, so the Republ!-
cans will organize the upper branch
The Assembly will be composed of %
Democrats and II Republicans, giving
the Democrats the organization.
Another peculiar situation arising
from the last election is that on every
State Board there is one Republican
and two Democrats, giving the Dem
ocrats the patronage. but in the ap-
pointment to places it is hardly prcb-
able that any applicant will receive
the entire support of the Board to
which application IL made. The stu.
alion. however, may have its advant-
ages. for where there are differences
of opinion among public officials the
people. as rule, get better results.

Dr.. Frederick H. Wichman, who is
accused of the murder of Lily Benson
and who is suffering from a revolver
wound caused by an svenging brother
of Ethel fine, assaulted by the physi
clan, is broken in health. finances and
spirit. The expense Of being cared
for at the Peoples Hospital was too
great for the alleged murderer, and
Monday he was removed to the Coun-
ty Hospital for treatment.
Wichman's condition II somewhat
improved. The wound on his arm is
wealing. Amputation, thought at
first to be necessary. will not have, to
be resorted to.
That friends will no longer defray
the expenses Of the doctor is said to
be the cause of his removal to the
Coonty institution.
Dir. Wichman was to have had a
hearing before the oGrand Jury
Wednesday, but was postponed. The
charge to be considered will be the
killing of Lily Benson. The doctors
condition will not permit Of his re-
moval before that body. Wichman
says he Ia innocent;that he is anxious
to have his trial and be done with it.

SOME QUEER CONTEST

A odd sort of contest in which the United
~ States Government plays important part,
is creating considerable interest in ship
building circles just now, owing to the fact that it
is rapidly drawing to a close. Two or three years
ago the Government as represented by the Brook
lyn Navy Yard entered into contest with well
known ship building company to determine which
could build a battle ship in the shortest length of
time. Some conditions of quality and price also
entered into the contest.
This unusual competition recalls several queer
contests that, although of comparatively trifng
importance, quite amusing and must have
created considerable interest
Probably the queerest of all these contests was
the tournament devised by Emperor Maximan H.
to decide between two suitors for the hand of his
fair daughter Helene One a German and the
other Spaniard Esteeming them equally, Maxi
milan finally concluded that the suitors must de-
eide the question; so he secured a large bag and
deCreed that the one who succeeded in putting his
rival into the bag should have the beautiful Helene
All the court assembled to witness the battle After
an hours struggle, the German succeeded in putting
the Spaniard into the bag Shouldering the burden
he marched trumphantly to the royal corner and
New-York tribune., 1906-10-21

galanty laid it at the feet of the young princess.
The next day the German, Baron Eberhardt, claimed
his bride.
An exceedingly brutal contest, which originated
in Wales, is frequently held by coal miners Penn
SyVanla 1t IS called 'Purring, or shin kicking.
The contestants wear shoulder straps which afford
hold for their opponents. Grasping these straps
firmly, they stand at arms length and proceed to
kick the flesh from each others shins.
England probably holds the record for queer con-
tests. At Huddersheld they have association for
the promotion of lark singing, and many singing
contests held. For sometime prior the begin
nlng of the contest the larkS kept in the dark.
At the appointed time the darkened cage is opened
IN front of mirror, and the lark is permitted to
its own image, which it takes to be rival. The
cage is then carried to window and the lark imme
diatey spreads its wings and begins sing. The bird
which sings the longest without cessation IS the
winner: The record appears to be ten minutes.
Smoking contests are common, and frequently
held at various English clubs. The weapons in
recent contest were pipes. Seventy members of the
HoXtOn Constitutional Club each supplied with
pipe and an eighth of ounce of tobacco for the
purpose of determining which member could keep
New-York tribune., 1906-10-21

his pipe going the longest with one lighting. The
winner of the contest kept his pipe going for one
hour and ten minutes but this record was broken
in contest at the ShOredItch Constitutional Club
when the winner kept his pipe going for one hour and
twenty nine minutes. Several cigar smoking con-
tests have been held to decide who could smoke a
cigar for the longest period without letting go
The record for this class of contest seems fixed at
one hour and fourteen and half minutes.
An Englishnan named John Leger probably holds
the frog catching record having landed eightv-two
frogs with hook baited with red flannel in three
hours. At recent frog catching contest. in which
nearly two hundred competitors were entered the
winner caught nineteen frogs in one hour
Cock Growing contests are held IN France as well
in England and in both countries the feeding of
prize Growing rOoSerS has been reduced TO science
Each owner has his own special manner of feeding
and guards his secret closely. The doSed food IS
given to the rooster for about three weeks prior To
the contest. During the growing match a time
keeper stands in front of each bird and registers
the number of Observation-Disclosures uttered in a
given time, usually fifteen minutes There are
rOOsters which have CrOwed as many as hftv times
IN seventeen minutes.
