Wrestling Match a Draw.

Five hundred wrestling fans at
the opera house on last Wednesday
night listened to Referee D. K
Douthett announce that the match
between Harry nicholson of New
Virginia and "Davy' Jones OF Grand
River was draw, and appl; uded
the two men who wrestled for fifty
two minutes without either one Sc
curing a fall. For the fans had
witnessed one of the gamest exhibit
lions of wrestling ever staged in
Clarke county. Not only that but
they also saw one of the cleverest,
craftiest and most scientific little
wrestlers in southern Iowa is &C
ton. Harry Nicholson stepped on
the mat at about eight thirty in the
evening, after getting out OF bed
only a few days before, and when he
advanced to the middle of the mat
to shake hands with his opponent,
"Davy" Jones of Grand River, it was
readily seen that Harry was not in
the best of condition. But he gave
a wonderful exhibition. Jones
proved to be more than match for
him in science. With lighteninglike
rapiaity he would shift the intricate
holds, and kept his heavier opponent
on the defensive throughout the
evening. But he was not match
for Harry in gameness. Time after
time it seemed inevitable that the
big New Virginians shoulders would
be pinned to the mat, but each time
his weight and gameness brought
him out from under his lighter OPP
ponent. At the end of fifty-two min
utes Jones suggested that the match
end as neither could hope to throw
the other that night, and Nicholson
agreed to draw, and "a division OF
the purse.
Jones is the craftiest and most
scientific wrestler who has been in
Osceola for long time. He looks
in the pink of condition, and uses
his head in every emergency. His
wrestling is clean and sportsmanllke.
We hope that Jones may wrestle
again in Osceola.
Nicholson is not scientific wrest-
Ter, but knows pretty well how to use
his strength and size. He keeps on
the defensive during the early parts
of his matches, trusting to tire his
opponent. His wrestling is always
clean and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

WORK SOON ON THE BIG DITCH.
NJ. r. Bannon, Civil Engineer, of TT.
Madison, Iowa, Gets the Contract
to Straighten Grand River.

The board of supervisors of the
Harrison and Mercer county drain
age district, after several weeks Of
Investigation and negotiations, con-
tracted with M. e. Bannon, a drain
age engineer of FIT. Madison, Iowa, to
do all of the engineering work which
includes a complete typographical
survey of the twenty thousand acres
or more included within the district,
all preliminary surveys, location Of
new ditch, a complete report of plan
Of drainage, plans and specifications
for all new improvements and super
vision of all construction work.
During the negotiations of the
board several of the largest engin-
eering companies have had their rep
resentatives here, such as Perkins
Engineering Co., of Chicago, Hartman
Engineering Co., of Peoria, ILL.,,
Brooks &, Jacoby, of Kansas City,
w. B. Hazen of St. Joe, and several
others. The board found upon their
investigation that Mr.. Damon has
had eighteen years experience as a
drainage engineer, that is is now con-
sulting engineer on the Des MOines
river drainage district, also the Mis-
sissippi-Fox river drainage district in
Clarke county, Missouri, that he is
now chief engineer of the Henerson
county drainage district No. 3, of
Henderson county, Illinois, in which
the work embodies levees, bitches
and large pumping station, also
engineer for the Mississippi River
Power Co., who own and operate the
big dam at Keokuk, Iowa, for hand
ling all matters pertaining to over
flow of lands, flooding sewers and
streets above the dam. The board
also found in their investigation that
Mr.. Bannon has one of the best
equipped engineering offices in this
part of the country, and strong or
ganization of specially trained men
in his employ.
We have had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr. BannOn, and he not only en-
tiers upon the work here well recon-
mended as competent drainage en-
gineer, but has the appearance of be-
ing gentleman in every respect.
The contract between him and the
board provides that he shall begin
his work not later than Monday,
March goth and work at same con-
tinuously until completed.
The members of the drainage board
have been working very hard and dill
igently ever since their election and
if they are as painstaking in the flu
ture as they have been to date, there
is no doubt but what the big project
will be success and go through with
but little trouble.
The most favorable thing looking
toward the future completion of a
successful and satisfactory ditch is
the harmony existing among all of
the land owners Of the district, there
being about three hundred persons
interested, numerous other districts
having spent several thousands of
dollars in law suits in getting incor-
porated and as far along as this dis
trict now is.-Cainesville News.

Davis City Man Secures Patent on 9
Chicken Brooder.

Frank Freeman, of this city, who
has been trying for the past year to
get patent OH chicken brooder,
has at last been able to secure it.
He has now started to work manu-
featuring them and he has his shop
in the l. Toney building just west OF
the Valley Bank.
Frank Osborne is boss carpenter at
the present and he is rushing the
work along as Mr. Freeman has a
number of orders for the brooder.
He will equip factory with mod
ern machinery as soon as possible SO
as to be able to meet the demand OF
the public. He will look after the
brooder business most of the time,
as he has secured John Atteberry to
look after his barber shop.
Who knows but Davis City will
some day become noted as the place
where Freeman's Sanitary Fireless
Brooder is manufactured ?-Davis

To Subscribers to Farming Business

We have received manyletters and
calls the past two weeks from Report
er subscribers in regard to dun
they had received from Farming Bust
ness, a paper which was sent to sub
scribers to the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
| when that paper was discontinued, a
good many persons demanding that
we settle the account for them. This
| we cannot do, for we do not have
any business dealings with Farming
Business, and we have no control over
| the matter. We endeavored to protect
our patrons in every way that we
could and last spring we published in
several issues the following notice:
Last December the Chicago Week.
ly 1nter-Ocean was discontinued and
their subscription list sold to Farm
| ing Business, who agreed to send that
paper until the expiration of all sub
scriptions TO the weekly Inter- Ocean.
Complaints are coming to us from
some of our subscribers that Farm
ing Business is not stopping that pa
per at the expiration of the paid sub
scription. We do not desire to have
any misunderstanding with any of our
subscribers over this arrangement
and advise all to refuse to take the
paper from the mail box after the
expiration of your subscription unless
you want to continue to take Farm
ing Business and expect to pay for it.
If you continue to receive the paper
without notifying your postmaster, or
mail carrier after your subscription
expires, you will have to make settle
ment with that paper direct, as The
Reporter does not club with Farming
Business. If you don't want Farming
Business just notify them to stop the
paper sent to you and prevent them
from running up bill against YOU
We certainly did our part in the
matter of giving notice to our sub
scribers, and we cannot undertake to
settle disputes between subscribers
and the publishers of Farming Bust
ness, as we have nothing to do with
it. We have advised number of
parties who have received threaten
ing letters from a collection agency
stating the account would be sued, if
not paid within ten days, to simply
pay no attention to these letters,
throw them in the stove, and refuse
to take Farming Business from your
mail box. We don't believe that any
of you will be sued, although you
may receive another letter. or two.
And please don't blame The Report
er. 1t is matter of which we have
absolutely no control, and we en-
deavored to protect our patrons to the
best of our ability.
