BELL READY TO MEET HACK
Has Money Up Now il Charley Wants
TO Cover 1t.

"This talk about Beell or Burns not being
willing to give Charley Hackenschmidt a
chance to WTestle is all bosh," said Emil
Klank Beells partner. Il can say for
Been that he has $3.50 as a side bet for a
match with Hackenschmidt any time the
latter wants It. He would be glad to give
him a wrestle anywhere or any time. Beell
offered to wrestle big Hack, whom Gotch
threw, and certainly he wouldn't have any
reason not to meet Charley unless it might
be that he thought him too easy"
DR.. Roller wires me he cannot come to
Omaha until the last of May, so we will
arrange for a match with Carkeek and
Beell at the Auditorium about May 81"
Charley Hackenschmdt, who was adver-
tised to meet Pardello I'm Omaha, wires that
Pardelo is sick and cannot come and wants
to know II Demetral. the Greek, or Jim
Parr will do. Either probably would do for
him better than Pardello.
Klank dislocated rib in his wrestle with
DuGray at Lincoln. He threw DuGray
straight falls. but his rib was hurt fifteen
minutes after the wrestle begun. DuGray
had him locked with a scissors hold and
Klank turned and caused the accident.

for senator In the Attn.


for senator In the Attn.
NIAoAEA FALLS, May Henry A,
Mcmahon, Democratic nominee for Senator
in the Forty-seventh Senate district, made
public this statement to-day:
Il have been nominated by the Demo
cratic party as itS candidate for State Sen
ator at the special election called to be
held on May 70, 1908, and respectfully solicit
your votes. So far a. the members Of the
Democratic party are concerned, ! expect
the loyal support Of its every man. A
splendid opportunity 10 elect q Democrat
over the candidate Of . faction Of the Re-
publican party is presented, and no reason
or issue exists which should induce any
Democrat TO vote for my opponent.
Il shall not receive the support Of the
members Of the Hughes-Stevens faction Of
the Republican party, but ! claim the right
10 the support Of all other Republicans,
Democrats and independent citizens. This
special election is called for the purpose OF
bolstering up the Hughes-Stevens faction
OF the Republicans In this district. It can
have no practical result on any legislation.
The expense Of many thousand OF dollars
caused 70 taxpayers BY the special election
is wholly unwarrsnted and unnecessary,
except TO further the political interests Of
the Hughes stevens faction. The special
election is part Of q ounningly devised plan
TO assist the malodorous and mismanaged
administration Of the Erie Canal In this
district 70 tighten its grip on the Republican
organization.
MY nomination is not the result Of any
Unmanly bargain or ridiculous Sef-stulti-
hcation: Can my opponent cay the anne Of
