COME TOGETHER THIS EVEN

FINISHED CONTEST, BEST TWO
OUT OF THREE FALLS.

Well, the big night is here. To
night Henry Ordeman and Chris Per-

wrestling contest to settle who is the
real champion of the northwest, a POI
sition that has been held for many
Years by Ordeman, the great Mime
apolis grappler, almost without dis
pute excepting the protests of the To-
cal man who believes that he has more
than an even chance of throwing the
mill city man.
If ever a man has trained faithfully
for the contest it is Person. He has
worked early and late, has been meet
ing all Corners over the state for the
past several months and Ii condition
counts for anything he will give the
heavier man the bout of his life;
Chris will enter the ring weighing a
few pounds under 100 while Ordeman
will go about 210, but the handicap
isn't as great as might be expected,
On their last meeting which was yer
a year ago Chris was getting in his
work in good shape when he strained a
Ngament inshis leg and had to simply
quit or be badly injured. Since then
he has learned all Of the tricks that he
thinks Henry knows and he will be
right at home In the contest tonight.
There is every Indication that there
will be an immense crowd in attend

their tickets should call at the Nestor

had gathered in anticipation of vic
tory, gave vent to their feelings In
boots and cat calls. The floor OF the

excitement during the poll on the bill.
Not for many days has a measure SO
aroused the interest of both sides.
The galleries and corridors leading
10 the floor of the house were jammed
with hundreds eager to follow the bal
loting. There was general rejoicing
among the crowd in the galleries and
in the passages when tie total vote
was announced, for nearly all present

allowed to enter parliament.

which the militant suffragettes have
carried out for many months had re-
ceived proper official condemnation.

"We are now living at a time when the
task of earning living is SO great that many
find little or no time to spend in Gods $

great thot one would think that eternal
happiness itself depended upon these things,
but such is not the case. Doing Gods
will should be the theme of our life seven
