LastsFriday evening the Hecker
school gave an entertainmentsand box
supper for the purpose of purchasing
library for the school.
The evening was all that could be
expected and the house was crowded
with patrons and friends of the school.
The school house was beautifully
decorated with the national colors, he
black board drawings BY Master Har-
~ Cook did credit to any artist. The
program opened by a concert reading
Of the beautitudes.
A song and an address of welcome
followed by the school yell made a
splendid opening for the good things
in store, for the anxious audience. AS
the program commenced each number
seemed to grow better. The drills
were exceedingly fine, the boys in
their gun drill with their uniforms
and guns made a patriotic appeal to
every 6eart, and as the commander
called halt the company stood under
an arch Of flags (held over them by
the young ladies) and sang America,
the audience was more than delighted
with the pleasing effect, and gave vent
to their feelings in rounds of applause.
The singing was simply fine. The solos
and duets being special feature. The
program from beginning to close was
of unusual merit.
The flag drill with the usual pleas
ing feature was perfect picture of
delight. The girls in their dainty
white dresses and the boys with
their uniforms made picture long to
be remembered by every one there.
After the program Mr.. Daniels sold
the baskets and the writer has been
present at many basket socials, but
never in my life did see such dainty
and prettily trimmed baskets. Finan-
cially as we'll as successfully this was
the best carried out program one ever
sees. Then the eating Of the good
lunch prepared only as the ladies of
Hecker and the surrounding country
know how to prepare was fitting
ending Of such pleasant evening.
Mr. Daniels then in behalf of the
school board and patrons made
splendid talk thanking their teacher

Are You in Need Of a Drill?

One Of the greatest successes in the ma
chinery line has been the VanBrunt drill. These
have always been sold under our positive guar

had complaint. The VanBrunt drill seems to
have been made especially for this country and
with the proper handling, it will always do per-

Farmers SOW their seed to grow he most BUSH

They have kept in step with the progress Of
half a century. Their reputation is established

luncheon by MIR. and Mrs. Sidwen after
a hotly contested game Of basketball

Russian Lion VIII Arrive In This
Country About the Middle of March.

New York, Feb. "A wrestling match
for the worlds championship was ar
ranged yesterday between George Hack
.enschmidt. of Russia, the champion of
Europe, and who claims the worlds title,
and Frank Gotch, the champion of this
country.
The two men will meet on the mat in
this country on some date between April
10 April 5. just where the match will
be held is not definitely decided, but VIII
liam W Wittig. of Milwaukee. who has
arranged the meeting, said last night that
being unable TO get Madison Square Gar
den or any other suitable place in this
city, il probably would be held in Chicago,
although Kansas City, St Paul, and
Minneapolis would be considered.
The articles of agreement were signed
simultaneously yesterday in this city and
London. and confirmed by cable. Hacken-
schmidt signed for himself, while Mr.
Nittig affixed his signature for Gotch,
and deposited $1,000 10 bind the match.
VIII Give Exhibitions.
Hackenschmidt will arrive in this coun-
try about March 10, and az his own re-
quest and for training purposes will give
six or seven exhibitions previous to his
meeting with Gotch, the only condition
being that the exhibitions must end a
week before the match. Mr. Wittig Will
arrange to hold one Of these exhibitions
in this city while others may be sched-
uled for Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington. and Pittsburg.
The big match will be for a purse of
10000, Up to this time no side bet

a class with Jenkins and Gotch, who
rank as the best men in this country.
Hackenschmidt and Gotch have never
met on the mat, and for that reason the
meeting will arouse widespread interest
in this country and abroad. Gotch is a
much smaller man than his big op-
ponent. but is quicker. more agile. and
cIeverer. and this may count in his
favor.
HackensChmidt Will be the favorite
