ATHLELIC BUNCH WITH
 BIG WORTHAM SHOWS

"Cyclone' Mitchell, considered one of the best middle-weight wrestlers in the country, conducts an athletic stadium with the Worthem Shows, which is one of the features of the aggregation. It presents a class of entertainment that is particularly in- teresting to all who take pride in physical condition and who are de- voices of the mat game. He takes ol all corners himself and has men who will accommodate any patrons at any weight whatever
 These men give splendid exhibi- ton of the wrestling art and explain the various holds, the way to dodge them and generally outline the sc1- ence of wrestling to the audience.
 Mitchell himself is the winner of many matches in the South and is we'll known to all followers of this sport. He is at present challenger for the middle-weight title and is par ticularly anxious to meet "Pet" Brown, who is big favorite in Tex as. Up to now Brown has paid no attention other than to object to a pound or two of weigh: on MitchelPs part, which he says will be quick: removed as soon as Browns sigma ture is seen on the business end of a set or articles.
 All next week, amateurs and pro fessionals who wish to try themselves out are invited to do so free of charge with the athletes in the Wor- tham stadium, the more the merrier, as no one is barred.

ton Of congress generally and the food
conferees in particular for cringing
under the official lash"
Most Of the time of todays senate
debate was occupied by Mr.. Reed and
supporters Of the conference report
plan to make few and brief remarks in
its defense. Senator Reed. however,
stated that he did not intend to delay
adoption but would move to recommit it
TO conference with Instructions Upon
the various features against which he
has centered his opposition.
Senator Chamberlain Of Oregon, in
charge Of the bill for the administra-
ton, declared the country is demanding
immediate action.
