PLESTINA MEETS
TAYLOR IN OMAHA
Lincoln Grappler to Tangle
With Local Favorite on
April 81.
WILL BE BOUT FOR BLOOD

Marin Plestina, Omaha's contender
for the heavyweight wrestling title,
and Jack Taylor, Lincoln's entry in
the fightfor the laurels now worn by
Earl Caddock, will clash in a mat tilt
at the Omaha Auditorium the night
|of April n.
Joe Stecher was originally earded
to tangle with Plestina on this night,
but when Joe was hattened out by
Earl Caddock he cancelled the date.
So Taylor was substituted,
The match promises we'll to be a
warm one. Plestina and Taylor were
matched to tangle in March, but an
argument arose. Plestina wanted to
lwrestle in Omaha. Taylor wanted to
|wrestle in Lincoln. Both were stub
born and refused to give in to the
other.
Each Accuses Other.
But the night of the Stecher-Cad-
dock match the two gladiators ran
into each other at the Auditorium.
Plestina spied Taylor, charged up to
him and accused him of kicking out Of
1.-The match. Taylor came back by say
ling it was Plestina who was afraid to
|wrestle.
Plestina had $500 to post as a for
Ifeit for a bout with the winner OF the
lStecher-C addock fray. He immediate
lily pulled out the rolf and defed Tay-
Ilor to wrestle him. Taylor only had
l$50 on him, but he offered to put up
the fifty. For few minutes it looked
like spectators at the championship
match might also enjoy an added at.
Traction in the way of a battle royal
between Plestina and Taylor, but
|peacemakers finally succeeded in in
|tervening.
So when Stecher cancelled, Taylor
was suggested as an opponent for
Plestina. And Taylor lost no time &C.
cepting when the offer was made.
Are of Same Weight.
Plestina and Taylor are of about
weight. Both are fast, aggressive
wrestlers, and even though neither is
the worlds champion, they probably
will put up just as good bout and
perhaps better one. With the bad
blood between the belligerents, the
go promises to be desperate affair,
especially as some side bets of con-
siderable dimensions are in the max
ing.

CHAPTER TX.

Johns first caller at the Milan was,
in way, a surprise to him. He was
sitting smoking an after-breakfast
pipe on the following morning, and
gazing at the telephone directory, when
his bell rang. He opened the door, to
find the prince of SeyTe standing out
side,

the latter began.
Not ut ALL" John replied, taking the
pipe from his mouth and throwing
open the door. ut is very good of you
! to come and see me-"
The prince followed John into the
little sitting room. He was dressed, as
usual with scrupulOus care. His tie
was fastened with wonderful pearl,
and his fingers We're perhaps trifle
overmanicured. He wore bunch of
Parma violets in his buttonhole, and he
carried with him very faint but I'M
usual perfume, which seemed to John
like the odOr of delicate green tea.
1t was just these details, and the slow
ness of his speech, which alone ae-
centuated his foreign origin.

seated himself in an easy chair, "that

characteristics, also desire the same

sudden little scream. Don't! You
are talking wildly. You must not say
such things"

his head very slowly; his heavy hand
rested upon her shoulder.

remarked, in a hurry to change the
conversation.

There is a man opposite who wants me
to. Would you rather I didn't? want
to do just which would please you

Dance, by all MEANS" he insisted.

She nodded, and a minute or two
later she had joined the small crowd in
the center Of the room, clasped in the
arms of very immaculate young man
who had risen and bowed to her from
table opposite. John leaned back in
his place and watched her admiringly.
Her feet scarcely touched the ground.
She never once glanced at or spoke to
her partner, but every time she passed
the corner where John was sitting,
she looked at him and smiled.
His eyes grew brighter, and he
smiled back at her. She suddenly re-
leased her hold upon her partner and
stretched out her arms to him. Her
body swayed backward little. She

CIGAR AS OPIUM SUBSTITUTE
Aiding in Redemption of China, Where
Natives Are Now Frequently Seen
Smoking Their Cheroots.

The cigar is doing a large part in
the redemption of China. 1t is no un-
common thing to see native smoking
his cheroOt, which promises to enjoy
the favor once bestowed on opium.
The import of cigars into various
Chinese ports has been greatly on the
increase in the last few years. and now
amounts to about $350,000 annually.
OF this trade fOur-fifths normally is
through HOngkong. There has been
a marked increase in the quantity of
Dutch-made cigars used in South China
and other portions of the Far
East during the last year or more,
where, for various reasons, Philippine
cigars have been losing in favor.
Previous to the outbreak of the war
in Europe considerable quantities of
cheap cigars We're sold in China and
the Far East through German firms in
HOngkOng, and a German cigar fac
tory was operated in Hongkong for the
manufacture Of cheap cigars for the
Chinese trade and also for export to
Europe. This factory is Still operated
under Chinese control.

Handled intelligently, a mule is a
most willing worker; but there are a
few unwritten laws that cannot be
transgressed with impunitE, A mule
will seldom make more thaR two at

strain he will throw his whole fCrce

ent force which neither horse nor ass
possesses. After short rest the mule
will make q second attempt, but this
is seldom as sustained as the first. If
the load still refuses to move the team
might as well be unhitched. At times
the mules will not even exert enough
force on a third attempt to move an

New Talking "Movies."

Application has been made for a
patent on very elaborate device
which would produce a combination of
the cinematOgraph and the phonograph
to give us moving pictures wherein the
characters not only move but speak.
The idea of such pictures is not new,
but the difficulties of synchronizing
have hitherto proved insurmountable.
BY synchroniZing is meant the exact
coincidence of the motion picture, pro-
jected by one machine, with the speech
supposed to proceed from the char
acters, which is produced by quite an
other. Unless the speech comes at
the right instant, the result is laugh
able rather than impressive. In the
proposed device the actual speech of
the character is transmitted by wire
less telephone to phonograph whose
complex receiving mechanism is syn
chronized with the movements of the
moving picture camera.
