In the wrestling match with Bonura
last Friday, Lacroix showed conclu-
sively that his phenomenal strength
makes him an ugly opponent for any
of the amature wrestlers in his class,
regardless of sience. None of the
wrestlers with whom he has come In
contact has been able to put him from
his feet to the mat. We advise him
to take a course with some good pro-
lessor who can teach him all of the
tricks of the game, After he does
this, st. Tammany viii have a cham

DEBS is A
SICK man

New York, Oct. 14.-Eugene V. Debs,
Socialist candidate for president, spoke
at two mass meetings on the East Side,
the stronghold of the Socialist party in
this city, last night, and also journeyed
to Brooklyn to address a meeting.
So weak was the candidate that he
had to be supported By two men as he
spoke Mr.. Debs began yesterday
by speaking in Newark. He was very
sick then, having had fever of 103
only few hours before. But the can.
didate said that he had promised to
Iepeak and refused to heed the advice of
his physician and friends, who tried
to dissuade him. The illness which
Mr.. Debs suffers is the result of a
cold which he contracted a week ago
and which did not become serious un.
til yesterday, when he collapsed on
arriving at Newark.
Mr.. Debs retired to the "red speciar'
in Jersey City early last night and his
physicians took him in hand. While
there is no immediate cause for alarm
over his condition, still his physicians
say that unless Mr.. Debs rests he will
not be able to continue the schedule
made out for the red special" tour,
which has now lasted forty-one days
and was planned to continue until the
lday before election

Arthur Ross Evans, an S-pound son,
born to President Evans and his wife,

yesterday. When President Evans
failed to announce the desired holiday
in chapel, between 200 and 300 boys

possible to hear classes, President
Evans gave his consent to the holi-
day.
Guy Kiger, postgraduate, found
studying in the library, was carried
out and forced to make a speech in
favor of the holiday. University col
ors were run up on the flag pole and
then the entire student body, led by
the university band, marched down
town and paraded up and down Main
street yelling. Members of the foot
ball team and others were captured
and required to make speeches.

BRYAN CONTINUES HIS
TOUR THROUGH NEBRASKA
Punctures the Republican Argument at Every
Point--Taft Shiej at Bank Guarantee
Law in Nebraska

clared, had no policy that promised
benefit to the farmer. but he is the
victim of all the abuses that have
grown up under the Republican rule"
Discussing the question of reforms,
the candidate said there was not one
that Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Taft stood
for that he had not rought for before
either had spoken on the subject to
anybody.
III" he said, "you approve what
they have tried to do in these reforms,
how can you denounce what l have
tried to do, and II you believe It is good
for the country for them to try TO ap-
ply them, how can you doubt that It
win be better for the country If Dem
ocrat should try to apply themY
In the opinion of Mr.. Bryan, Cover
nor Hughes was not the kind Of man
to give advice to people who wanted
remedial legislation "Mr. Hughes,
governor of New York." he said, has
come out here to tell you that our plan
is ridiculous and he has laughed all
over his state and all over the West,
laughed so heartily at the absurdity of
our plan that he could not get himself
in a condition to suggest any plan
himself. 1t may be laughing matter
for Governor Hughes, but 1t is not a
laughing matter for the people Of this
country All OF you who think that we
do not need a remedy can laugh with
Governor Hughes, for he thinks that
We do not need any, but il you believe
we need a remedy you will not be sat
isfied with the speech Of a man who
proposes no remedy. And Governor
Hughes, who came out to make fun of
our antitrust remedy is the same Gov
ernor Hughes who vetoed the 2-6ent
passenger fare bill in the state of New
York, a thing that your governor would
mot veto, thing that you all are in
favor OF, for you are paying 2 cents
lnow instead of g. And yet down in
New York, where the population is
thicker than it is out here, after that
bill was passed by Republican legs
lature, Governor Hughes vetoed t, and
he is not the kind of a man to give
advice to people who want remedial
Legislation"

Wahoo Neb., Oct 14.-Accompanied
by all the Democratic candidates for
state offices, with the exception Of
one or two. william J. Bryan yesterday
campaigned in his own state and last
night at this place completed the first
Of his three days Nebraska tour.
Big crowds greeted him every place
and when his days work was over
be had delivered twenty-one speeches,
varying in length from five minutes to
an hour. His arguments were con
fined mostly to answering the state
ments Of Mr.. Taft and Governor
Hughes. who but recently visited Ne.
braska. The audiences were mostly
farmers and the Democratic candidate
frequently moved them to loud ap
plause.
The route trayersed was through
numerous Republican strongholds. A
carload of speakers was brought along
out of Omaha and at each place visit
ed by Mr.. Bryan one was dropped of
to complete the work of expoundine
Democratic doctrines.
Mr.. Bryan accused Mr.. Taft OF not
making the speech in Nebraska that be
had made in other parts OF the coun
try.
He did not discuss the guarantee
OF hank deposits" he said, doubtless
because he was informed that the peo
pie of Nebraska are in favor OF the
guaranteeing OF bank deposits. His
appeal was to the farmers, and it was
based upon the fact that the farmers
have good crops and fair prices. but
did the Republican party give you the
crops? All who think the Republican
party Is responsible for good crops
should thank the Republican party fol
it. Those who believe as we do thai
the good crops are due to the fertility
of the soil. to seasonable rains and t.
the sunshine, should thank the AL
mighty"
He then spoke of the empty dinnel
pail, because, as he said, of the bot
tom having dropped out oft, and tina
the farmers were now being told tina
the Republicans are to give them full
basket. The Republican party, he de
