MARSH VS.. DAVIS FEB. 2Ist.
Big Wrestling Bout Scheduled for Grand
Opera House One Week From
Friday Night

The indications are that the interest
taken in the recent wrestling matches
held here was small compared to that
which will be developed over the APP
preaching match between Ole Marsh
and Jo Davis, the big Canadian who
succeeded in getting two falls out of
three from d. A. Mcmillan at the
match at Steyer 5 opera house couple
of weeks ago. Davis showed himself
TO be one of the fastest wrestlers seen
here in wears. and it was evident that
he is good for faster company than
Mcmillan. Besides there are many
who want to see what Ole Marsh can
do. Since leaving DEBORAH several
years ago he has been wrestling al
most constantly, and has gone against
some of the best men in the business.
He is confident that he will be able
to win against Davis, although he
realizes that he will have his hands
full to do it. 1t will be a catch-as-
catch.can match, best two in three
falls, for purse of $3.50, winner to
take IS per cent and loser % per cent
of receipts The match will be to a
finish, no draw. On account of the
fact that a large crowd will see the
match, it will be held at the Grand.

CONCERNING SUBSCRIPTION ACCOUNTS.

During the past week or so we have
been mailing statements OF account
to every subscriber in arrears for sub
Scription more than year, in accord
ance with the recent ruling of the
post office department. Most of those
who have answered these letters have
done so agreeably and without feel
ing aggrieved over the matter, know
ing that it is matter that the news
paper man has no control over One
or two, however, have shown a spirit
of dissatisfaction over the fact that
we sent them statement. They
seemed TO think that it was a scheme
of ours TO collect money They evil
IDENTIFY do not believe that the govern
ment is forcing these collections upon
the newspaper. We regret that this
is the case, and can only state that
the ruling of the government will
mean loss of hundreds of dollars
during this year to this newspaper,
until bIlc ildbttI Is I1OTUuSlllN uUueT-
stood among the people We wish
that the government had given us
longer time to explain the matter to
our readers, but it is not our fault
that they did not do So
We are willing to trust any honest
man for his subscription for any rea-
sonable length of time, but the gov
eminent says if we attempt this we
cannot send the paper through the
mails, so there is nothing to do but
to collect the arrearages
We hope and feel sure that our
readers will look at this matter in a
common sense manner We will do
the best we can for you. We will
willingly extend to YOU credit for one
year, but we cannot any longer, as
Uncle Sam won't let us.
If there is any question about this
matter in the mind of any reader,
let him ask any postmaster or any
newspaper in the country aud he will
find it as we have stated.

that he had been dragged for a mile
before the train was stopped when the
air brakes were released by the break
ing of the hose as a result of the
strain upon it by Randall's weight.
Every bone in Randall's body was
broken and about the only portion of
his head that remained was his face.

DID NE LOVE HIS MOTHER,
By EDWIN A. WYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A Nye

DID HE LOVE HIS MOTHER!
 10 the best mother boy ever had These are the last words you will hear from me. Lovingly, CHARLIE
 Having written the above. Charles Jacobs of New York city. young man of nineteen years. put a bullet into his brain.
 There was no good reason why le should have done so. No motive is as- signed for the act When his mother heard the pistol shot she hastened to his room. She was crazed by the shock. Scarcely could she be prevented from hurIing herself from a window Query?
 Would boy who really loves his mother kill himself and break bis mothers heart? Certainly not, if he was sane. The incident and the note serve 10 remind Us that there are altogether too many young men like Charles Ja, cobs.
 Perfervid expressions of love for mother like the above are mere oozings of septimentality The expression is cruelty belied by the action. It is easy to compliment ones moth CT. Such expressions are natural II is quite another thing to repay the moth CT love by q course of conduct that will make the mothers life 3 happy one.
 It is easy to sing the refrain, "lf you love your mother, meet her in the sky The sacred theme lends itself to tue haunting notes of the tune. But it is an entirely different proposition to make mothers last days her sweetest days and to cause her always to be proud of her boy.
 The sentiment without the life is the veriest bathos.
 The gris!y bum who infests tbe DO. lice courts easily prefaces his maudlin plea for clemency by the snifle, T had one of the best mothers a boy ever had"
 The declaration is an indictment which leaves no room for special pity More is to be expected of him who had good mother. And if the son goes down despite the mothers goodness the more delinquent does his conduct appear.
 Tine best mother a boy ever had
 If only the Charles Jacobses could see the full significance of the words! The pity of it is they cannot under stand that such mother calls for
 THE BEST BOY A MOTHER EVER HAD.
 The mother of Charles Jacobs will find in her heart a great pity and a great love for her boy. Mothers are made that way. But
 If Charles Jacobs had been consist ent he would have written these words in farewel! to his mother:
 To the best mother a boy ever had go contrary to every instinct you have given me. choose to plunge q dagger in your heart. CHARLIE
