MEHNER WINS MATCH
Unable to Hold Vet on
His Back the Required
Three Seconds

About 500 people witnessed the
wrestling match between Lerlo"
Pierce OF Iowa and Vet Mehner OF
this city, Thursday night at the nan
in the Gottschalk opera house bulld-
ing, The conditions of the match
were that Pierce should throw Men
ner three times in thirty minutes
Mehner is a man of extraordinary
muscular development, Weighing 80
pounds stripped. Pierce is compare
lively a light weight, tipping the
scales at l56, but remarkably strone
and agile. After much delay, 1T being
nearly eleven O'Clock. the wrestlers
appeared on the carpet. Mel Warren
was chosen referee. At the first
clinch Mehner dropped to the carpet,
face down and the struggle began on
the part of Pierce to turn him over on
his back so that both shoulder blades
touched ground for three seconds,
which constitutes a fall according to
the rules. 1t was evident from the
first that the mar from Iowa was up
against as hard a proposition as ne
perhaps ever met. Mehner's tactlcs
were to imprison either the hand or
foot of his antagonist in his vice like
grip, holding him thus disabled for
minutes at a time. Only after des-
perate and prolonged efforts could
Pierce free himself and resume
the rolling over process, and on several
occasions succeeded by a marvellous
exercise of strength in doing it, but
Vet was too quick to remaln an his
back more than a second, and too
strong to be held there. And so the
struggle dragged along until the 30
minutes expired without a single fall
being credited to Pierce. The crowd
was well pleased with the match and
gave the outside mai generous APP
plause whenever he made one of his
very clever plays. Pierce at the con-
clusion announced that he would
wrestle Mehner for any part Of $500
in a straight match.

A rational system of physical cul
ture should insure to every man and
woman who adopts it a perfectly erect
poised figure, a straight spine, a broad
deep and capacious chest, uplifted and
flexible, and harmonious development
Of all the muscles. He or she should
be easy and graceful in every move,
ment, possessed Of marked muscular
power and endurance, splendid healtl
and a voice of notable equality and
power.
SO much would the rational system
Of physical development do for those
who followed it, and any method which
will not accomplish all Of these things,
even for its least promising students,
is in so much incomplete and false. The
object Of physical culture methods is
to render the body a more perfect in
strument, more strong, more enduring,
more Obedient. to the commands Of the
Withholding Magazine.

tee, writes:
while it is true that the aver
age democrat in congress SHES
at the name of ship-subsidv bill
like a moon-eyed horse at a black
stump, simply because the last
two bills before the congress
were great grabs and nothing
else, they have no right to shy at
the one now before the congress
and which recently passed the
Senate and now is before the
House. It ought to pass in the
interest of the merchants and
manufacturers and the farmers
of the country. It has no politics
in it and it has been indorsed by
almost every trade organization
in the country, notably by the
cotton growers associations OF
the Southern states"
Senator Gamble may have done
a wise thing after all in voting
for this measure.

City Nominations.

The city election occurs on the
third Tuesday in April, this year
being on the 18th. Under the
provisions of the caucus law the
city conventions of all parties
must occur on the Tuesday pre-
ceeding, this year on the tenth,
at 11o'clock in the forenoon. The
primaries to elect delegates from
the various wards are to be held
on the Thursday preceding,
this year on the 5th of April,
from 4 to 7 o'clock p. m. The law
contemplates that all party nom.
nations shall be made the same
day, the members of all parties
in each ward voting in the same
room for their respective dele.
gates.
This section which makes the
caucus law applicable to cities,
closes with the provision that
other than party nominations
may be made by petition. This
provision, it would seem, makes
it possible to ignore the caucus
law if the members of any party
or an association of voters should
desire to put a ticket on the bal
lot. After assembling and max
ing their nominations, they can
certify their nominations to the
city auditor by the signatures of
twenty voters. These names
must be certified to the auditor
not less than five days proceed
ing the day of election, leaving
two days after party conventions
are held for any possible indie
pendent or non-partisan move
ment to put ticket in the field.

A County Exhibit

President Smith of the State
Agricultural society was over
from Groton this week in the
interest of an agricultural ex-
hibit to be made next fall by this
county at the state fair. Mr..
Smith quite properly feels that
the failure year after year of his
own county to help contribute to
the exhibits which are a credit to
to the whole state is somewhat OF
a reflection upon him personally
while he is at the head of the Or
ganization. He calls attention to
the fact that the law now pro-
vides that the county com
missioners may make an APP
preparation from the general
fund to pay the expenses of max
ing a county exhibit. When lit
tie four by four Sanborn county
year after rear takes first money
for county exhibits while the
name of imperial Brown never
appears in the vast array of
wonderful products, the visitors
from these parts at the fair ex-
perience more a feeling of shame
than pride.
1t is none too early for the
farmers of Brown to begin to lay
plans to cooperate with each
other to make an exhibit that will
be worthy of our great county.
The Corn Growers association
have a manifest duty in this
direction to look after. Also our
horticulturalists must bestir
themselves. Let us all get to
work and do the handsome thing
by getting out the best from the
fields, the orchards and the gar
dens of Brown.

Van Csdel for Congress

The DEMOCRAT is in receipt of
a communication from a Lincoln
county farmer, giving various
reasons why Hon. Abraham L.
Van Osde1 of Yankton county,
should be sent to congress by the
farmers of South Dakota. There
is certainly a grave truth con.
tanned in the following extract
from this communication:
What is more appropriate than
that an agricultural state like
South Dakota be represented by
a man of the agricultural pro-
fession? We need practical
farmers in congress. 1t is a
lamentable reflection upon the
agricultural industry that we dc
not have more of them there,
We have heard from the other
professions, the bankers and
lawyers. Will the farmers Of
the state who really hold the
brunt of tax burden as well as
the voting power chime in?"
Honest Abe" Van Osdel is a
man of the rugged, uncompro.
missing type of integrity unfortu.
nately too rare in congress. His
admiration for Roosevelt won
him back to the support of the
republican party at the last cleo.
ton. He was nominated by the
republicans of Yankton county
and sent to the last legisla.
ture. He brought upon himself
the r1dlcule of the easy, less
scrupulous members of that BODY
by his persistent advocacy of
an anti-pass bill which he intro
duced. It is a hopeful thing that
public sentiment has been SO
aroused since that legislature ad-
journed one year ago, that few
members of it would dare stand
up now and vote against Van
OSde1'S anti-paSS hill.
