TENNIS TOURNAMENT
Miss Margaret Colgate Wins Cup
the Second Time,

Thursday morning witnessed the
finals in the lawn tennis tournament
for ladies at Mt. Anthony. Miss Mar
.garet Colgate won the championship
from Miss Eddy after a hard-fought
fight in which the endurance OF both
players was tried TO the utmost. This
is the second successive year in
which Miss Colgate has won the
ladies' cup at the club The match
was fast and exciting one from
start to finish, and was witnessed by
a large and applauding gallery Miss
Colgate won the first set sis-tres the
second Ga and the last GO and then re-
ceived the madding cheers of hoi
POLL.
But. to begin at the beginning. In
the first round Miss Martha yelling.
ton was ably defeated by Mrs. John
san o. 1913. Miss Susan Colgate
was beaten by Miss Alden: score
11.9, SO. Miss Margaret Colgate, the
winner, defeated Miss Beatrice Wei
| lington, Vassar, IL .he Poughkeep
siean put up a hard fight from start
to finish and was given many loud
cheers from the excited onlookera
Miss Wellington was victorious in the
first set, winning Sc; but by a
strong uphill fight, Miss Colgate won
the next two, 6.3, Ga.
In the second round Miss Margaret
Colgate continued her good playing
by defeating Miss Alden, 60, rs
Miss Colgate won by her great endul
ance and steady playing, her smash
ing serve, and terrific under-hant
drives to the back court being very
effective. MissCushman, one of the
winners in the famous mixed double
tournament, went down to defeat be
fore Miss Ruth Eddy of Troy
In the semi finals the Trogan de
feated Mrs. Guy b. Johnson after ;
hard, long drawn-out struggle il
which Miss Eddy's fast work at thu
net worked wonders. Miss Margare
Colgate was again among the winners
in this round, defeating Mrs. Thorn
ton Turner by an overwhelming mar
gin. At this point the outcome of tn
tournament could be clearly prophe
sled, for although comparative score
were against her Miss Colgate playe,
such tennis as has never before bee
seen In these parts Although Mis-
Eddy was undoubtedly superior II
speed, Miss Colgate was steadier, an
surer on her feet The phophec
came true and the latter won in tn
fast match which we have abov
recorded.

tee, confirms the statement that
campaign orators of national reputa-
ton will canvass Vermont during the
latter half of the present month
While the schedule has not been
made out, and the list is incomplete,
it is known that Senators Thomas
p. Gore and Robert l.. Owen of Okla.
homa, and Charles A. Towne, of New
York, will be among the number.
Senator Gore, the blind orator, is
considered one of the most eloquent
speakers in the United States, and
after Mr.. Bryan, perhaps the most
persuasive of Democratic spellbinders,
1t was his speech at the Denver con
vention that started the upnprece-
denied demonstration for the Ne
braska leader, lasting more than an
hour.
Charles A. Towne is also an orator
OF national reputation. He was Re.
publican congressman from Mime
sofa, 1857, but left the party in
1896 on the silver issue. In 1900 he
was nominated as a candidate for
vice president by both the Silver Re-
publican and Peoples parties, but de-
clined the nominations. He was ap
pointed by Gov. John Lind to fill an
mexpired term in the United States
Senate. Later, he removed to New
York, and in 1904 was elected to Con
gress as a Democrat. His name was
prominently considered this year in
connection with the Democratic vice
presidential nomination.
Senator owen has high reputation
as a speaker and is part Indian.

THE MISSOURI PRIMARIES
Democrats Choose w. S. Cowherd for
Governor by $4,000.


Kansas City, Mo-, Aug 6.-Late re-
turns from Tuesdays primaries in
Missouri indicate that William s.
.Cowherd of Kansas City was nomi-
mated by the Democrats for governor
over David A. Ball, and William H.
Wallace. judge of the criminal court
of this city. Cowherd's nomination is
claimed by close to $4,000, but returns
are coming in slowly. Ball appears to
have received larger vote than Wal
lace, who made his campaign on his
Sunday law enforcement record.
Herbert S. Hadley, Of Kansas City
the encouragement of Missouri, was
the only candidate for governor on
the Republican ticket. Cowherd's
strength lay principally in the cities.
Wallace and Ball showed their great
est strength in the farming districts.

Popular Resort Will Entertain the Lin

Been to Capital Beach this summer?
If you have not you have missed see
ing mighty pretty and attractive
pleasure resort. So impressed was
the Labor Day committee with this
pleasure resort that it Immediately Sc
lected it as the place for the Labor
Day celebration without even consid-
ering other resorts.
The boating is especially fine, the
bathing facilities all that could be de-
sired, and the other attractions are
up to high standard. A great many
Lincoln people have no idea what a
fine pleasure resort lies at their doors,
else the crowds would be triple what
they are now. Capital Beach is rapidly
developing into one of the greatest re-
sorts in the country.

MUSICIANS WIN OUT.
Competition by Military and Naval
Bandsmen Will Cease. :.


After a long fight the union must.
clans of the country have won in
their struggle against the competition
of the Marine band at Washington,
and with this victory comes a better
chance for civilian musicians. For
many years civilian musicians, espe-
cially in and around Washington,
have been forcd to compete with the
Marine band, which is supported by
the government. The same was true
near army posts and naval stations,
the enlisted musicians organizing or.
chestras and undertaking the civilian
musicians.
The Musicians Union has been try
ing to have this unfair competition
stopped, and last month success
crowned their efforts. The solicitor
for the navy department made public
a ruling that military bands or the
members thereof shall not receive
money for furnishing music in COM
petition with civilian bands" OF
course the enlisted bandsmen will not
furnish music without pay, so the
union musicians are freed from the
unfair competition.

Making Things Interesting for Firm
That Locked Them Out.
The union tailors of Lincoln are not
numerous, but what they lack in num-
bers they are making up by hustling.
They are now making it decidedly in.
teresting for the Heffley shop, which
locked them out without warning a
couple of months ago. Organizer
Biggs of st. Louis has been in Lin
coin for a week or so, and while here
he put lot of new ginger into the
tailors' local. The Heffley shop
locked out its tailors in June, and
while charging Lincoln tailoring prices
sent it's work to Chicago to be done
by cheap labor in the tenement shops
The local union got next to the source
of supply and shut it of, and the Hef-
heys then sent the work to Omaha

source of supply, but when it was To-
Gated some more trouble was brewed
for the unfair firm.
The tailors are making gallant
fight against odds, but they are hope
full of winning. The visit of Mr.. Biggs
was great help to them, and he left
the organization in better shape than
it has been for several years. The
tailors are figuring on putting float
in the Labor Day parade and making
showing that will impress the
people.
