who have gone before. Such a one is

MANCHESTER ACCEPTS
BARNARDS STATUE OF
LINCOLN AS REGAL GIFT

The formal presentation of Barnard's
statue of Abraham Lincoln to the city
of Manchester England, a gift from
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles p Taft, of Gin
cinnati, evoked this editorial in the
Manchester Guardian:
at is a regal gift, one OF the few
modern statues fit to be given by one
great nation to another. There will be
great row about 1t, as there has been
in America where it has sifted out the
sighted from the blind art critics more
successfully than any masterpiece or
recent years. When it was first seen
there went up a piercing cry that Lin
coin never wore such big boots, thiy
he had more elegant hands, that
collar ought to be tidy and alyN-.~
dress smarter, and that his way oil
standing and holding his hands ought
to be much more conventional. we
have no right to laugh; just as stupid
things were said among us when Gill
bert did not attire Joule as he might
have been attired by committee OF
tailors nor deal with his granite mas
siveness as it might have been dealt
with by a committee Of fashionable
photographers. Garnard's Lincoln Will
certainly shock any one whose ideas
of sculpture are based upon the
smooth, chilly and vapid attempts al
n good likeness which came to in
fest our open spaces in such refriger'
atiye abundance during the victorian
age. Every one who cares about SOUP

who comes in future to England, Will

OH! FOR RELIEF
FROM FLAMING
SKIN DISEASES

you cannot reach the blood by
lotions, ointments,
salves, washes and other local
applications to the surface of
the skin. So when you use
such treatment for your tor
menting skin disease, the most
you can expect is a temporary
discontinuance of the pain,
which promptly returns, and
keeps you constantly applying
the local remedies, making no
progress whatever toward
permanently Kidding yourself
of the disease.
Why longer continue such
makeshift treatment? Go to
your drug store today and get
a bottle of S. S. S., the reliable
blood purifier, and begin a
treatment that will prove sat
isfactory, as it has to thou
sands of others who were af-
flicted just as you have been.
S. S. S. has been used for more
than fifty years, so that you
are not experimenting when
you take it. It will counteract
the germs that attack the skin,
and its tonic properties will
build up the general health.
Don't continue to suffer,
but begin taking S. S. S. to-
day, and write our head ply

instructions about your own

North Platte, Neb., Sept. H.
Especial Telegram. )-Forty horses
have been entered for the races at
the annual county fair, which will be

Among them are the Gould trotters
and PAGERS and a number from

raised and many Improvements
made. Two new cattle barns and a
horse stable have been erected.
Auto drivers from Colorado, Ne
braska and Kansas will participate
in the auto races and an airplane ex-
hibition will be held.
A number of musical entertainers
will entertain the audience during

turned soldiers and sailors will be
guests of the Fair association at

nell and is expected to do the same
at Yale.
Percy Haughton, the master STRAIT
egist, who guided the destinies of
the Harvard teams for nearly a
decade, has stepped down as direc-
tor of the Crimson foot bali ma
chine, and in his place has come
Bob Fisher, former all-American
guard and one of the most noted
graduates of the Haughton school
of foot ball. He has named as his
assistant one of the Coolidge boys,
who played halfback several years
ago. and won fame among the back
field men of his time.
Princeton men will rally to the
support of Bill Roper, firm i'll the
belief that he will install system
productive of victory. Princeton
teams year in and year out have
show ability in mid October that
augured we'll for late November tri-
umphs. But with discouraging
regularity the team that was Jug
gernaut in October became a mid
October portion of the Tigers.
Roper Again at Nassau.
Bill Roper is known at old Mas
sau as man who produced re-
suits. 1t was he who coached the
1911 team which, thanks to the
speed, skill and never-ceasi
watchfulness of Sammy White,
downed both Yale and Harvard.
Those games in which White picked
up loose ball and raced through
the field for touchdowns. The writer
saw him make the run that beat
Yale, and by one great in
dividual feat he tore victory right
away from the Bulldog. 1t was
the record will stand in type when
White will be forgotten.
There is no attempt to reflect up
on Roper, who is a capable man,
with the confidence of Princeton
and belief in its own ability to do
things.
Rush at Cornell.
Cornell extends the cordial hand
of welcome to John C"SpeedyO
Rush, formerly of Princeton. Rush
did not win at Princeton in the
big tests, but he had scarcely time
in which to prove his system. He
did give the Tigers something of all
attack.
In Philadelphia Bob Fo1well will
direct the Pennsylvania team, as
sisted by Big Bill Hollenback and
Buck Wheaton. Naturally the chief
objective of Pennsylvania is the
Cornell game, which will be payed at
Franklin field on Thanksgiving day.

Chicago, Sept. .l7.-William H.
Baker, president of the Phlladel phia
Nationals, member of the nominal
ing committee for a chairman of
the National Base Ball commission,
announced today that Garry Herr
mann of the Cincinnati Reds ought
to resign as chairman of the ma
tional commission so that success
sor may be selected for him imme-
diately.
Baker said it would not be fair
to base ball for Hermann to con-
tinue as chairman while his club is
contending for the worlds PEN
nant. He did not say what notice,
il any, had been sent Hermann.
The nominating committee adj
journed after naming four men from
whom to choose successor to
Hermann. They refused to make
public these names.
Cincinnati, o., Sept. III am
ready to do anything that the ma
tional commission wants ME to do.
But / cannot resign now, because
there is no committee appointed to

August Hermann, chairman of

statement late today when shown

Champion J. Klbane
Knocks frankie Burns
Out in Fifth Round

Jersey City, Sept. l7.-Johnny
Kilbane of Cleveland, worlds feath-
erweight boxing champion, knocked
out frankie Burns of Jersey City i'll
the fifth round of an eight-round
match at the Jersey City base ball
park last night. Burns arose before
the count of 10, but the referee
stopped the contest, as Burns was
helpless.
1t was the first time the Jersey
City veteran was ever knocked out.
Burns was on the aggressive in the
first four rounds, the champion ap-
parently taking things easy. AS the
two men left their corners at the
start of the fifth round Kilbane
tented cleverly and quickly sent a
hard right across to the jaw, Burns
dropping to the floor. He got up at
the count of four, but was in no
condition to defend himself.
Burns weighed 124 pounds and
Kilbane IFS. More than 10000 per-
sons viewed the contest, which was
held in connection with a political
rally.

BOONE C 0 U n 7 Y
FAIR HAS GREAT
MAT ATTRACTION
John Pesek to Meet Charley
Cutler in Finish Match at
Albion; Kervaros and
Peters in Semi.

The greatest attraction at the
Boone County fair will be the finish
wrestling match to be staged by
]. L. Williamson at Albion, in an
especially constructed stadium,
erected at a cost of $4,000 for this
particular purpose. John Pesek,
the Shelton, Neb., mat phenom, will
tangle with Charley Cutler, former
American heavyweight champion, in
the final event. A finish match, for
one fall, between Sheriff Charley
Peters of Sarpy county and Gus
kervaros, the reek-American
champion is also billed.
While the committee in charge of
the fair has arranged a number of
fine attractions, the wrestling car
nival, booked for tonight, will un-
doubtedly be the great feature. The
Cutler Pesek joust will be a best
two-out-of-three-falls match. Pesek
will make an effort to throw the
former champion in short order, to
show the fans that he is as good a
mat artist as Joe Stecher. who de-
feated Cutler couple of years ago.
When Stecher defeated Cutler, it
was the real start of the Dodge
champion After that match, Joe
went right to the front Pesek has
one advantage over Stecher in that
respect. He has met and defeated
more prominent wrestlers than had
Joe before he was called upon to
match grips with Cutler. Mart
S1attery, Pesek's manager, accepted
this bout in an effort to convince
Nebraska fans that John is really
a better man on the mat than Peer
less Joe.
