Safe LIGHT for Miners.

Nowadays the up-to-date miner car
ries package OF electricity about with
him while underground. II Is a small
storage battery attached to the back
Of his belt. and is connected by cord
with . lamp fastened to the front Of
his cap. =
The lamp, provided with reflector,
throws quite 4 flood Of light in front
Of the miner. But its chief advantage
is absolute safety. ,.... ......
In olden days miners (who must. Of
course, have lfght) carried about with
them open-name lamps. These caused
innumerable - disastrous accidents
through ignition OF coal dust or gases.
Sir Humphry Davy's invention Of a
safety lamp whose fame was protected
by a wire gauze saved an immense
number Of lives. 1t Is In common use
today. hut the electric mine lamp Is
better and more convenient.

Twenty years ago a news story frem
Washington says land in the Louisiana
parish of Tangipahoa was worth 5O
cents an acre and human life was
worth scarcely anything Mt all. 1t was
IA case of cause and effect.
Then the immigrants came. They
were chiefly Italians and Hungarians'
They had lived at home on land that
was poorer than the Tanglpahoa. They
practiced intensive cultivation. Today
their parish is one of the greatest
strawberry farming districts in the
United States.
Land that sold for 80 cents is now
worth 500 an acre. And the school
authorities have practiced Intensive
cultivation on the human products OF
that land. Americanization has made
life worth more there than II ever was
before. News.

Before the Opening.

Although the Omaha Athletic club

members, the directors have found
they can take care of larger mem
bership. SO they have instructed w.
B. T. Belt, chairmen of the mem

more to the list.
The club now has an enrolment
Of 1900 members, 800 of whom are
life members and $50 nonresident
Enlargements planned for the club
will give more room.
The roof garden will be the first
to be put in shape. This will be done
at once so as to be ready for the
summer season of fetes and dances.
A formal opening has been planned
with some large band as the at
traction.
1t is also planned to carry out the
original scheme of the builders of
adding more room by running up the

Muny Association Is
Ready to Back Class A
Loop; Need Managers

The Greater Omaha league, the
only organization which has not vet
made entry into the Municipal Base
Ball association. is still morgan
lied. Nothing definite was accom-
plished at last nights meeting and as
a result Omaha is still without a
class A circuit. There were not
enough hackers and ball players
present for any organization to take
place.
Jake lsaacSon announced that the
association stands ready to go out
and get the hackers, if the players
will get together. The one OBJ
stacle now is the lack of managers.
The Murphy-Dit-Its and the Ne
braska Power company are the only
class A teams organized at present
These two clubs will enter some
class B organization if no class A
league is formed.
Bert Murphy, hacker of the
Murphy-Didlts, was given fran
chise in the City league, a class B
organization.
The Greater Omaha league prob
lem will definitely be settled some
time next week, either Monday or
Tuesday.

Some time ago, Doc Roller wrote
what he called an expose of the
wrestling trust, purposing to show
how the trust handled the affairs
Of the leading lights of the wrestling
world and his article was published
in the Physical Culture magazine.
In his story, Doc tells the public
that he is no longer interested in
the game, calling attention to this
fact so that his piece" will receive
greater credence. This was evil

April |, Roller wrestled Stranger

the only fall and the reports have
it that the Doctor was injured and
unable to continue. Knowing his
former reputation, it causes the fans
to wonder how much of the injury
was fact and how much was fixed"

announcement that semi pro base

Omaha league managers held one

LEMON jUICEIS
SKIN WHITENER
Cheap homemade beauty lotion to
remove tan, freckles,
sallowness

At the cost of small par of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare
full quarter pint of the most Won
ierful lemon skin whitener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
Juice of two fresh lemons into bot
tie containing three ounces of Or
chard white. Care should be taken
to strain the juice through, fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach a dark
ened skin and remove such blemish-
es as freckles, sallowness and tan
and is the ideal skin softener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck,
arms and hands. 1t is marvellous to
whiten rough, red hands.-Ady

MELADY WILLING
TO STAGE LEWIS
STECHER MATCH
II Stranger Won't Accept the
Bout Zbyszko Will Be
Sought; Contestants to
Post S1,5OO Forfeit.

Since his release from the service,
Joe Stecher has had some hard sled
ding along the rocky old route, and
has had few setbacks added to his
career. 1t is fact that Joe has
been worked and has taken on
too many big matches i'll too short
a time. which is the cause OF his not
making better showing in his,
matches with Zbyszko and Lewis.
Now Joe feels that after little
rest, he can fake one after the other
down the line and flop them as fast
as they can get up off OF the mat, and
lie has suggested to Gene Meady
that he promote the matches
md bind them up SO that the public
will be assured of the real goods,
insist on both sides putting up a sub
stantial forfeit, and in the event the
matches do not terminate according
to articles of agreement, the wrest-
lers get nothing for their work.
Melady has offered Lewis a match
with Stecher here, requesting Stech
FER and Lewis each to post a forfeit
of $500, the articles of agreement
TO call for a winner and loser on
falls, and in the event that the match
is with any other termination the
wrestlers to lose their forfeit and
the money to be returned to the,
spectators. Melady has been after
Lewis for three years to get him in
the ring with Stecher here in Omaha
under these terms, but it seems inn
possible to interest the Lewis people
when it is necessary for them to put
upon forfeit to protect the public.
Now that Lewis has refused to
give Stecher return match until,
as he says, "He gets good and
ready" an effort will be made to
land Zbyszko under these same
terms, and il these arrangements
can be carried out, the Omaha pub
lie will have a chance to see real
contest between the big fellows and
determine which is really the best of
the trio.
John Pesek of Shelton, has also
been offered match on the same
terms with Jim Londes, but so far
has not accepted the, match. Londes
is considered one of the best boys in
the game, and is willing and anxious
to have Pesek wrestle him under
these terms.
If these wrestlers want the pat
ronage of the public, they must
realize that the public wants nothing
but real contests and not exhibitions
or shows, and the sooner the
wrestlers wake up to this fact the
better it will be for the wrestling
game.

GLAD OF IT, SAYS
Gene MELADY ON
HOUSE ACTION
Author Of Boxing Bill Pleased
That Lower Legislative
EDDY Has Passed the
Amended Measure.

Lincoln, Neb., April 3.-The lower
house of the legislature this evening
passed a boxing bill so amended, its
opponents declare, as to remove all
possibility of Prize fighting. 1t pro-
vides for limit of 10 rounds with
large gloves, for limited number Of
spectators and for no admission fee.
The author OF the original boxing
bill to be presented to the Nebraska
legislature, Gene Melady, was asked
to give The Bee a statement of his
views on the bill which was passed
last evening by the house of repre-
sentatives. and the sportsmans COM
piled with the following:
I am glad to note that the house has
favorably passed to third reading House
Roll No. sS-my boxing bill.
8 While the bill as amended is joke
compared with the original bill it will at
least give the Knights of Columbus, the
Athletic club the Y. NJ. C. A. and other
clubs a chance to hold exhibitions under
their auspices.
The old saying. "a half loaf is better
than none,' applies in this case, and with
out doubt two years hence, when we elect
some of the bright young men who went
to the front and won the war for u.s. to
represent us and make our laws. instead
of some of these old timers who have had
their day and who are not sufficiently
farsighted to give the boys the same
privilege and amusements that they had
during their time in the service, then the
bill can be amended so that it will be of
some benefit to the public in general, in
stead Of only the few who are members
of these different organizations.
Other prominent, sportsmen of
Omaha speak in like vein, and it is
the opinion of most that while this
law is not as fair as could be ex-
pccted, it will serve to show the law
makers of the next session, two
years hence, that boxing is deserv.
ing OF legalization in broader dimen-
sions than is provided in the present
bill, and will probably result in
more satisfactory measure being
passed at that time.

Women Delighted All Surprised by
Quick Action of Partisan Sage.

Quick Action OF Partisan Sage.
It's amazing how much pretty hair
does towards producing the appearance of
youth and beauty much desired by
women of all ages. It's really a simple
matter for any woman to merit this praise
since radiant hair is only matter of care.
When. your hair becomes faded, dry.
streaked and scraggy, when it falls out
badly and new hair cannot grow, the roots
must be vitalized and properly nourished.
To do this quickly, safely and at little ex-
pense, there is nothing so effective as
Partisan Sage 0iquid form which you
can get at Sherman & Mcconnell or any
drug store or toilet counter.
It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff, stop
scalp itch and falling hair. and promote
new growth or money refunded. It's in
great demand by discriminating women be-
cause it makes the hair so soft, fluffy,
Iustrous, easy to arrange attractively. and
appear heavier than it really is.
massage with Partisan Sage is real
delight-easy to use. not sticky or greasy
and delicately perfumed-an antiseptic
LIQUID free from dangerous ingredients. and
guaranteed not to color the hair or scalp.
If you want good looking hair and plenty
of it use Partisan Sage. Don't delay-be-
gin tonght-a little attention now insures
beautiful hair for years to come.-Adv.
