WINKLEHOEFER

IS THE F E German Hercules Heavier than Olson, But Great Go Is Predicted. GENERAL INTEREST SHOWN EXPECTED THAT THERE WILL BE AT LEAST TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE ATTEND MATCH ROE BE R MEETS YOUNG BE EL. . Judging from the advance sale of feats to the wrestling match at the tollseum Monday night, the largest frowd that ever witnessed a contest f this kind In Richmond will be present. Sport lovers from all over this section of the country will be present and It would be no surprise If the double-header was witnessed by a irowd of 2,000. At the last match there were 1,500 paid admissions. , Miny bets are being made on the result of the Qlson-Winkelhoefer match and the German Hercules is the favorite, although Olson has many supporters who are willing to back him to the limit. The German is one of the heaviest wrestlers in the business and his 110 pounds Is all muscle. He is exceptionally fast on his feet, has a reach t-Imoet equal to Olson's and has as much skill ami experience as the Indianapolis lad. Olson realizes that he fcas the hardest match of his winter's campaign and Is training hard In preparation. Roeber, who will meet Young Beel, has been the middleweight sensation la Chicago this season, and his clash with Young Beel will surely be an interesting event. Young Beel is said to be the fastest wrestler la the world and despite the fact that he only weighs about 165 pounds, he has had the distinction of throwing Americus last year.

In the City Bowling league last evening, the Richmonds defeated the Carman's three games. This was a Surprise to the great number of supporters of both teams present All the men on both teams played hard but the Rihcmonds "had it on" their "Red Demon" friends and thus walked away with the match. The high cores were made by Hodge 190; Uchtenfels 196; Youngflesh 182 and 171; Markley 173. Smith made the high score of the evening, 213.

This Is an ud usual year for sensaKlonal pacers. In fact, while there are "some remarkable trotters out. It might be called a paoing year, as there has seldom If ever been a season where there were so many high class pacers on the big circuits as now. At Detroit 'Dan Patch made his first start of the season In an attempt to beat his mark; ibut, while be failed to do so, he paced fa mile In 1:58, which was certainly fast enough to keep him from catching cold while en route. Then Minor Heir paced a mile in 1:6916 at the Milwaukee track, which is surely a great per formance for a five-year-old stallion the first year out. On the grand circuit are a few pacers that have been keeping the followers ef the caravan constantly on the anxious seat this year by their speed. The Eel (2:02) has the fastest mark, but had not Dan McEweu staked his gray ?acer right through the grand circuit t Is safe to say that he would have a faster mark than that right now. The Eel has had easy sailing In the stakes, but were he to bump up against the free-for-allers, which Include Hedgetrood Bay (2:0314). Baron Grattan 2:0314). Gallagher ' (2 0314).

CHARLES OLSON OF INDIANAPOLIS. When Olson meets Winkelhoefer, formerly wrestling pardner of Hackenschmicft at the coliseum Monday night, he will have decidedly the hardest match he has had this season, as Winkelhoefer Is heavier than he and has a good reach, strength and plenty of endurance. Olson is now in hard training.

Already the big colleges have started searching the schoolboy ranks for future candidates for football honors. Coach Yost of the Michigan eleven is very much discouraged because of the defeat suffered by his men at the hands of the Penn and Syracuse elevens. It is not unlikely that when tha experts get to work and pick their allAmerica eleven after the games Saturday, some members of the Syracuse, Cornell and Penn elevens will have berths. The Army eleven has a good many trick plays that it expects to spring on the Navy in their great contest at Philadelphia today, thereby turning the tables on the midshipmen, who easily defeated them last year. Down at Princeton they are still speculating as to next year's head coach, but the chances are that Roper will again be at the helm. Seeks to Reenter

FIGHT EXPECTED OVER REPUBLICAN

CHAIRMANSHIP

Several Good Men Would Take The Place Should They Be Selected, Adding Interest to Situation. REMEY OF INDIANAPOLIS MENTIONED FOR PLACE. Democrats Who Would Serve The Public in Various Capacities Flock to State Capital Nowadays. 6y Ellis Searles. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 28. And now while the democrats are fighting it out among themselves for United States senator and for the position ot Speaker of the House of Representatives, the republicans bid fair to have a scrap of their own on hand in a short time that will keep them busy for a while. It is about time for the republicans to elect a new chairman of their state committee and it is this that is making them sit up and look around. They have plenty of good timber for the place, and the main trouble they are having is In picking out the one who will fit best. Charles F. Ilemy, of this city is the latest man mentioned In connection with tne chairmanship. Remy was formerly reporter of Hie supreme court, but since he left that office he has been practicing law in this city. He lived in Columbus at the time of his election, and claimed that city as his home until recently. Remy is one of the hottest republl cans in Indiana. He has been known as a Beveridge follower, becauce he believes in Senator Beveridge, but there never has been a time when he was not ready to get out in the trenches and dig for the ticket, no matter whether a Beveridge man was on It or not. This has popularized Remy In many parts of the state where such efforts on his part have been seen In the campaign this year he was a member of the executive committee of the Republican State Committee, and it Is said that no man worked harder for the success of James E. Watson and the rest of the republican ticket than Remy. He mace speeches all over the state and .the executive com mittee, of which he was a member, had a great deal to do with the inner most workings of the campaign. Possible Candidates. Remy will have opposition, however, when it comes time to elect a new chairman. Winfield T. Durbln, of Anderson, George W. Cromer, of Munclc and Harry S. New, of this city, are all mentioned for the job. Durbin would accept it, Cromer might accept it and New wouldn't have it So there Is the situation as It stands Just now. It is almost a certainty that a aew chairman will be elected to succeed James P. Goodrich, who hM serv3d through three campaigns, but the natter will not be taken up In earnest until after the big rush of legislative Dusiness has been disposed of. Then .he different candidates and their Jriends will get busy. Stephen B. Fleming, of Fort Wayne, was intown last night, and when people 6aw him they began to think at once that there would be some tall Joings in the race for senator, inasmuch as Fleming is the main backer of Edward G. Hoffman, of Fort Wayne who wants the place, and the chief -ighter against John W. Kern, of this city, who also wants it. But as far as .an be learned Fleming did not stir ip any dust while here. He talked politics with a few of the leaders, but t is said that he did very little in the Jirection of the senatorship for Hoffman. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, was another Senatorial aspirant who was .n the city last night. He comes over frequently and talks things over, but it is believed by those who have been matching his campaign that he is not making much headway. He will have a following, of course, but it is not likely to be very strong. It is generally understood that Lamb has the backing of Crawford Fairbanks, owner of the Terre Haute brewery, Dut it is a question just how much good that will do him in this race, even if he does have it. James Garrard, of Vincennes, one of the strongest contenders for the speakership of the house, is in the city, too. He says he did not come especially to look for votes for speaker, but that he was not allowing any opportunity to pass to land a vote. He thinks it is a little early to tell much about the relative strength of the various candidates, but he says this will be possible when the democratic members of the legislature come in on December 15, for their pre-leglslative conference. All the mebers of the democratic side of the house are expected to be here at that time and Garrard says it will give the candidates for speaker a good opportunity to size things up and find out just where they stand in the race. Garrard says he is more Interested just now in a bill that he is preparing than he Is Inthe speakership. He will Introduce a bill to create a public utilities commission. He says it is not his purpose to seek to abolish the State Railroad Commission, however. His idea is that the railroad commission should continue in existence and that its jurisdiction should be broadened so as to cover all common carrlars Taw a new commission would

be created that would have control over all other public utilities. And Garrard's bill will go so rar as to give the public utilities commission Jurisdiction over property insurance companies. Garrard says that there should be a tribunal to which a policy holder could appeal for justice when an in

surance company charges too high a rate or refuses to make good a loss. "The public is at the mercy of the Insurance companies when.it comes to a matter of rates," said Garrard. "A central board fixes the rate of premium and all the t companies use that rate. If you don't pay it you can do without insurance. Now, if the rate is too high, there is no way to get at the insurance companies. This looks to me very much like a trust and the public should have some remedy. I propose to include one In my hUl which I am now preparing." PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS PAZO OINTMENT Is guaranteed to cure any case of Itching. Blind, Bleeding or Protruding Piles in 6 to 14 days or mouey refunded. 50c. Spider Cures. In China spiders are highly esteemed In the treatment of croup. You get from an old wall the webs of seven black spiderstwo of which must have the owners sitting lu the middle and pound them up in a mortar with a little powdered alum. The resulting mixture must then be set on fire, and the ashes, when squirted into the throat of the patient by means of a bamboo tube, are said to effect a certain and Immediate cure. Black spiders are evidently full of medicinal virtue, for they nre largely employed In the treatment of ague &9 well. In Somersetshire, if one Is af flicted with the unpleasant ailment, the way to get well Is to shut up a large black spider In a box and leave it there till it dies. At the moment of its disease the ague should disappear. In Sussex the treatment is more heroic; the patient must swallow the spider. Terhaps, after all, this remedy may not be so disagreeable as it appears, for a German lady who was In the habit of picking out spiders from their webs as she walked through the woods find eating them after first depriving them of their legs declared that they were very nice Indeed and tasted like nuts. London Chronicle. Asked Too Much. In R. F. Johnson's book, "From rekin to Mandalay," the author tells the story of a poor Chinese scholar noted for his piety, who heard the voice of an invisible being who spoke to him thus: "Your piety has found favor in the sight of heaven. Ask now for what you most long to possess, for I am the messenger of the gods, and they have sworn to grant your heart's desire." "I ask," said the poor scholar, "for the coarsest clothes and food. Just enough for my daily wants, and 1 beg that I may have freedom to wander at my will over mountain and fell and woodland stream, free from all worldly cares, till my life's end. That is all I ask." Hardly had he spoken than ie sky seemed to be filled with the aughter of myriads of unearthly voices. "All you ask," cried the messenger of the gods. "Know you not that what you demanded is the highest happiness of the beings that dwell in heaven? Ask for wealth or rank or what earthly happiness you will, but not for you are the holiest joys of the gods." Tha Ungrateful Cuckoo. To hear the cuckoo's cheery note you might think he had the clearest conscience In the world. He can have neither memory nor moral sense or he would not carry it off so gayly. We say nothing of the "raptores," who are a race apart, but the most disreputable of birds, as a rule, are guilty of nothing worse than peccadillos. The Jackdaw will steal for the mere fun of the thing, for he can make no possible uko of plate or Jewelry, and sometimes under temptation may make a snatch at a pheasant chick. Sparrows are, of course, notorious thieves, but they rank no higher in crime than the sneaking pickpockets. But the cuckoo, so to speak, is a murderer from his cradle. He violates the sanctity of a hospitable hearth. His first victims are his own foster brothers, and before he tries his wings on the first flight he is imbrued In fraternal blood, like any Amuratb or Bazajet. London Saturday Review. Bright Prospects. "My dear," said the banker to his only daughter, "I have noticed a young man attired in a dress suit in the drawing room two or three evenings each week of late. What is his occupation?" "He is at present unemployed, father," replied the fair girl, a dreamy, faraway look in her big blue eyes, "but he is thinking seriously of accepting a position of life companion to a young lady of means." An Everyday Suit. "That Gus Is certainly a nifty dresser. He has a suit of clothes for every day In the week." "Why, he has the same suit on every time I see him!" "Yep; that's the one.

Had Everything, But Suicided Wm. Juday, of Eldorado, Ohio, Denied His Family Nothing and Kills Self Because of His Financial Difficulties.

Eldorado, Q., Nov. 2S. William Juday, a druggist and one of the most prominent residents of this place, killed himself yesterday noon at his place of business, because, it is thought, of financial difficulties. After Mr. Juday's clerk. Edgar Foss, left the store about noon. Mr. Juday lockedl himself in the store, and walking back into the prescription room, swallowed a quantity of carbolic acid. A little after 12 o'clock Mrs. Juday telephoned to her husband to learn why he did not come home for dinner but her call was not answered. When Foss returned to work he was horrified to find the unconscious form of his employer stretched upon the floor. The strong odor of carbolic LAMPHERE CLOSE TO A CONFESSION "Did No More Than Others Would Have Done" He Says Slowly. CONFESSOR BETRAYS HIM CONVICTED MAN IS BITTER AGAINST MINISTER WHOM LAMPHERE TRUSTED FRIDAY IS A HOODOO DAY. Michigan City, Ind., Nov. 2S. Ray Lamphere made some admissions, which to those who heard them appeared almost tantamount to a confession, while he was on his way here to begin his sentence of two to twenty-one years for the burning of the farmhouse near Laporte In which Mrs. Belle Gunness and her three children perished. In the opinion of Sheriff Smutzer and others who accompanied Lamphere the man was prevented from making a full confession by the fact j that his sentence was the lightest it i was possible for the Jury to impose. after finding him guilty, and gave him mope of an early pardon or parole. Thinks Confessor Turned on Him. "I didn't do any more than hundreds of other persons would have done had they been in my place," was Lamphere's commentary on his case, as he gazed from the window of the interarban car which was bearing him to his place of Imprisonment. "A preacher came to me and said that whatever I told him would be like telling a Catholic priest. From what came out, it seems he wasn't true to me. I don't feel kindly toward him now, and I feel that he did me dirt." "What was the scene you witnessed the night you bored a hole through a partition in the Gunness house when you was working for Mrs. Gunness?" asked one of the men who accompanied Lamphere, referring to a part of Lamphere's alleged early confession. "I ain't going to say anything about that," responded Lamphere, after a pause. "Do you think you ever will make a statement explaining that matter?" continued the questioner. "No." I don't think T ever will," said Lamphere, slowly. Whisky Is Indirectly Blamed. Then he lapsed into reflection and i remarked: "If I hadn't been a drinking man I ! never would have been at the Gunness j place. The old woman drank consid erably herself. It was whisky and bad

Daisy Lyons laughed upon the wit ness stand this morning, as she was i telling Judge Fox why she thought sje ought to have a divorce. Judge ! Fox didn't believe she deserved a decree, however, and refused it. Then there was no pleasure about the affair, It was a very sober proposition and Daisy cried. She sobbed convul sively and gone was the broad smile and the sparkle from her dark eyes. "Life's a mighty funny proposition after all." Mrs. Lyons wanted a divorce from her husband William. She alleged he had been guilty of cruel and inhuman treatment and had failed to provide. Mrs. Lyons testified that her husband now Is working at Hamilton.

Lamphere responded dully that h had not made such a statement. "I'm going to prison with a clear conscience," he reiterated In the manner of one chanting of litany. didn't do any more than hundreds of others would have done In my place." Tuesdays and Fridays of Case. Just as Tuesday figured conspicuously in the early developments of the Gunness case, so Friday has figured In the trial of Lamphere. The Gunness fire occurred on Tuesday, April 28. On Tuesday. May 5, the bodies oi Andrew Helgelein, Jennie Olson and three other victims of Mrs. GuoneBS were found in her private burial ground. On Tuesday, May 12. the rings ol Mrs. Gunness were fpund and on Tuesday, May 19, the bridge work, gold crowns and teeth of Mrs. Gunness were discovered. Although the trial of Ray Lamphere commenced on Monday, Nov. 9, fout days were consumed in securing the jury and so the first evidence wai not presented until Friday, Nov. 13. and, by a remarkable coincidence, the thirty-eighth birthday of Lamphere. On Friday, Nov. 20, Attorney Worden, Lamphere's lawyer, made the opening statement for the defense, and on Friday, Nov. 27. Lamphere entered prison to begin his term. Oxygen Tippling. "Oxygen tippling Is the latest form of the drug habit," said a doctor. "Two physicians have died of It this year, and It Is stated that there are quite a hundred oxygen tipplers among the laity of our big cities. "Oxygen, you know, is a wonderful stimulant. Its inhalation keeps death off the dying for days and dnys. But taken regularly it noon wrecks the health. Its effect Is said to be delightful. Like champagne, it creates kX ety. Along with this gayety goes a feeling of tremendous power and lightness. Drunk on oxygen, the most sluggish and melancholy persons have a Joyous and heartening Idea that they can do anything In the world." New York Tress. CATHELL TO SPEAK. Dr. J.

The witness stated her husband was arrested last March on the charge of wife desertion. The court ruled there was no evidence of cruel and Inhuman treatment. He said the fact there had been little disagreements between husband and wife would not be held as sufficient evidence of cruel and inhuman treatment.
