HACK HAS BLUFF,
BUT THAT'S ALL
Gotch Offers to Take on Russian
Again, But Latter Backs
Out.

CHICAGO, H., Sept. George
Hackensehmidt left for New York
yesterday after offering to post $1,000
for private return match with Frank
Gotch. He was accompanied by
Americas and Koch, two OF his wrest-
ling partners. Hackenschmidt will
sail from New York on September 9.
Hackenschmidt's offer for a return
match with Gotch was offset later by
his contradictory statement that after
leaving New York he would never re
turn to America. In the meantime
the offer had been carried to Gotch
and accepted, with the provision that
the match be held within two months.
This was not accepted by Hacken-
schmidt on the ground that his injur-
ed knee would not permit his return to
the ring in that time
Gotch will leave for Humboldt,
Iowa. either Friday or Saturday He
was ready and eager TO return last
night, but his mother and wife we're
rot able to leave until they had done
their fall shopping Gotchs plans arr
incomplete, but he stated today that
he would not begin his world tour fol
several months. He wants to speat
that much time In Iowa.

MISS MOSHIER SPOKE
Meeting on Sunday Evening Under
Auspices Of W.. C, T. u.-AIeo-
hoIism Placed Before People.

One Of the interesting things of the
week was the Sunday evening service
at the First M. e. church given under
the auspicies of the ladies of the w. G..
t. U. Miss Rhena e. @. Moshier was
the speaker Of the evening. Her talk
was exceptionally interesting and in
structive and she took up the subject
of alcohol and temperance along strict
ly up-to-date lines, telling Of recent
researches and the results and OF the
latest medical Investigations in the
matter Of alcohol as a medicine.
She stated that since people have
become more vitality interested and
have taken the trouble to sufficiently
Investigate, 1t is no longer necessary
to apepal to the emotions, but science
upholds reason in the fact that al
coholic beverages are not necessary to
health and that 1t is a poison and
should be used only as such, that in no
sense is 1t a food. Excellent examples
were given to prove the assertion in
the recent meeting OF The Hague in
Holland, which was attended bv over
$500 delegates, 100 of whom were
Catholic priests, others being men and
women of influence. She spoke of the
recent medical conference, where 1t
was fully demonstrated that alcoholic
liquors caused the white corpuscles In
the blood to become shriveled and as a
result they were not able to build up
the tissues and in their natural way
prevent disease.
Miss Moshier said that what was
needed to make the land free from the
use of alcoholic beverages as now used
was the right of women suffrage. The
fact has been demonstrated by the
amount of money put up by the brew
ers to fight the suffrage bill. I'm
Kansas" Miss Moshier said," where
there is to be strong fight within a
short time, that faction has put nm
over s1,OOo,O 5000 to fight the suffrage
BILL and that they were working to
have the liquor question re-submitted
before the women were given the right
of suffrage"
Her remarks were along the lines of
the most vital questions and interest
ing topics in the temperance work to-
day and she greatly pleased her audi
ence.
