Hackenschmidt Defeated

Hackenschmidt, brother of "the Rus
sian Lion" and claimant of the light
heavy weight championship was east
ly defeated last night at the Idaho
theatre, by Roy McCarroll of Pendle-
ton, Oregon, who threw the Muscovite
twice in ten and half minutes The
audience was surprised at the short
ness of the contest, as the wrestlers
had engaged in a controversy rela-
tive to the probably length of the bout
before it began, which indicated an all
night session. The Russian contend
ed that if it lasted over two hours ii
should be considered a draw, while the
Pendletonian insisted that it go all
night unless a fall should be obtained

The Lecture by Hon. j. Adam Bede,
eX-congressman from Minnesota, be-
ing the next to last entertainment in
the Lyceum course for this sea-
son, transpired at the Lavering last
night. Mr.. Bede is both a philosoph-
or and humorist. After a pleasing
and very complimentary reference to
the fine appearance of Twin Falls
introduced by a comparison of the
larger to the smaller cities, very much
to the advantage of the latter, he
launched into his subject proper.
This might, perhaps, be defined as
plea for good nature, . for calmness
and for helpfulness in all the prob
lens and relations of life. Happiness,
which the speaker said Jefferson's
great manifest gave every man the
right to "pursue'-not necessarily to
overtake, is most often and most per-
fectly found in the comfortable homes
of Americas great middle class
midway between poverty and afflu-
ence. And no one should worry over
the sol-called problems with which adj
vancing civilization is being con-
fronted. So long as there is progress
there will be problems; but no one
desires to go back to the methods ant
inconvenience of fifty or more years
ago in order to avoid them. The lee
ture bristled with aphorisms and cpl
grams, and clever and unexpected
turns Henry VIII, of England, FOL
instance, was described as the mon
arch who KILLED his queens out o
season, with no regard to the gam
laws" and his audience was invite'
to think what would become of Kin'
George, should he treat his one queer
| in that manner.

Local international War-Several To-

no fatalities have resulted from the
severing of diplomatic relations be-

While the overwhelming majority of
the Teutons have mailed to the mast

Uber Allies, a few have been guilty of
undiplomatic observations which led
other citizens to an immediate enforce
ment of the Monroe Doctrine. In one
instance, in an effort to "carry the war
into Africa an enthusiastic patriot
made some derogatory observations
about Germans in the presence of an
unoffending Teuton, with the result
that he thought he had been struck
by a torpedo. With these few excep-
tons, the relations of American citi-
zens. regardless of descent or former
allegiance, has been firmly for the pol
icy of President Wilson in the crisis.
