DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP
BRIEF AND SOCIAL news

Rev. Mr.. Hall and his wife arrived
from Chicago Saturday morning, and
on Sunday he preached his first SER
mon in the Presbyterian church to
the good people Of Duluth Heights.
The young couple we're met at the
depot by a committee appointed by
the congregation, and were escorted
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Toll
man on Palmetto street, where they
are being entertained until they get
settled in their new home. The trus-
tees of the church have engaged the
Coon's residence on Orange street,
and this is now being fitted out for
occupancy. A reception will be given
by the people of the Heights in the
near future.
Mr.. Hall was welcomed at the
church Sunday evening by congre-
cation that fairly packed the little
building to the doors. Some came out
Of mere curiousity to size up the
preacher to ascertain what kind Of a
sermon he could deliver and incident
ly to get acquainted with his wife.
Others came to listen to- the word of
God. Both were agreeably surprised.
Mr.. Hall is starting out we'll. His
sermon was of the high order, we'll
delivered, and it struck straight at
home. His wife too, proved to be a
most charming woman. This being
true we predict that a pleasant future
awaits the young couple, and we join
with the good people in extending to
them a good old Minnesota welcome
to Duluth Heights. This is Mr.. Halls
first charge, he having left the Pres
byterian seminary near Chicago to
accept the call of the congregation
on the Heights.

Of the A. F. ~of L., has decided to take
no further move on the action Of Gov
ernor Johnson in signing and authorize
ing the establishment Of a harvester

Governor Johnson was so positive
in his statements about the proposed
law when he wrote me, that I don't
believe his views will be changed in
any way by my writing him further"
said Mr.. Gompers.
II believe he is wrong in the matter,
however, and that no merchandise
made by convicts should be allowed

FARMER BURNS IS Of
MARVELLOUS PHYSIQUE
Iowa Wrestler Is the Best
Developed Man in the
World.
Was Born Weak, and Devel-
oped Strength by Long
Practice.

If you were asked to guess who was
physically the most thoroughly devel-
oped man in the ENTHUSIASTICALLY
you would have to do a lot Of think
ing, wouldn't you?
Specifically one might guess JET
fries. Hackenschmidt, Gotch, anyone
but the right man.
He is Martin Burns.
He lives on little farm up near
Davenport, Iowa. His business is that
of a. professional wrestles. His recre-
alton is farming. In sport circles
Burns is known as Farmer"
Burns was not endowed by nature
with a wonderfully powerful physical
frame. Thirty years Of painstaking
physical culture gave this man a mus
cular development that is simply mar
velous.
There are millions of bigger, strong
er, brawnier men than this wrestler,
but for useful physical development
the Iowa farmer, and erstwhile champ
ion catch ascatCh-can wrestler of
America, is in a class by himself.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing
about Burns is his wonderful neck. It
has been the study Of anatomists and
physical culturists for twenty years.
Burns has ridges Of sharp, shapely
muscles tapping his neck and cushion
Ing it. Expanded, those muscles lay
out like pillows on the ocean. In
repose one cannot perceive them.
Burns declares that he has spent
twenty years in developing his re-
! markable neck.
Couldn't Choke Him.
Do you think it possible for a man
| to develop his neck to such an extent
that it is practically impossible tc
! hang him? Hardly Still here is q
man around whose neck you can put
a rope and drop him six feet into
| space. He would simply distend those
marvellous neck muscles and the pres.
sure of the rope against his neck will
| not stop his breath nor the impast o.
the fall break his neck.
Burns has demonstrated to scientist.
that it would be practically impossible,
to hang him were be guilty of murder
! and condemned to die on the gallows
Burns has not only a remarkabl,
neck. He has remarkable arms. chest
in fact, Is wonderfully musclet
throughout his body. Weighing no
more than 40 pounds this remark
able wrestler has stood off the creates
men the game has ever known.

1t was the Farmer who invented
the toe hold. But the Farmer say!
this is not the most deadly grip. TIL,
bar hamn1erlock is more dangerous
And let me tell you," said the Farm.
er, there is a young man named Beel
who is surely a terrible wrestler. Beel
has perfected a hold which he call!
a head hold. He has short but DOW
erful arms. He allows an opponent t,
try for various holds on him. Sudden
ly Beell will grab his opponents heae
under that vice-like arm and tina
will be the end of that match. Tha
is, If Beell gets perfect hold Thi!
head hold is wonderfully furnishing. A

W, /, WILLIAMS TALKS
TO TRADES ASSEMBLY
Popular State Labor Coommis.
sioner Pays Compliment
to Duluth Unions.
Announces Appointment of
Miss Pearl Ettinger in Free
Employment Bureau.

The meetings Of the Trades Assem-
bly, still continue to be we'll attended,
and this is a good indication of the
healthy condition Of the local labor
movement. At the meeting last Fri
day evening the delegates listened to
an interesting address by Labor Com
missioner w. H. Williams, who came
to Duluth for the purpose Of installing
the new free employment bureau.
MIR. Williams was impressed with
the large attendance and paid a warm
compliment to the delegates for their
interest and enthusiasm in the cause.
"Your union men here seem to have
the right spirit and interest and are
willing to come out to the meetings."
said Mr.. Williams. The attendance
here tonight is greater than we can
get at any of our assembly meetings
in the Twin Cities, more than once
or twice a year, and we have many
more union men than there are in Du-
luth. I think that you ought to feel
proud Of what the unions are doing
here and if you keep on there will be
more union men at the head of the
lakes in few years than In many
other cities in the state. A good at
tendance at the meetings is what
keeps up the interest in unionism."
Mr.. Williams added that he thought
the trades assembly did themselves
great credit when they endorsed James
Walsh for the Duluth labor commits
sioner position and that their endorse
ment had done more In deciding who
should be named than anything else.
He is confident that the appointment
will prove satisfactory to all concern
ed. 1t was announced by Mr.. Will
Jams incidentally that Miss Pearl A.
Ettinger had been appointed assistant
to Mr.. Walsh at a salary of $500 a
year. Miss Ettinger is stenograph-
er and at present is employed in the
office Of Attorney J. A. Keyes. She
is the daughter of an old union man.
In concluding his talk, Mr.. Williams
spoke Of the new child labor laws
which this state now has and urged
that the Duluth unions assist the labor
department in every possible manner
! in enforcing these laws.
