Dexter, Pavillion, Chicago, April 3.—(Special to Pioneer.)—George Hackenschmidt quit in his match with Frank Gotch for the catch-as- catch-can wrestling championship of the world tonight, giving the title to the Iowa man by default. After more than two hours of unavailing tugging and desperate scrambling, the Russian said to Gotch: “D’ll give you the match.” Referee Smith at once declared Gotch the winner. The end came so unexpectedly that the great crowd of 8,000 which witnessed the contest could scarcely comprehend. what had happened. Not until the referee had announced that Hackenschmidt had surrend- ered the championship of the world to Frank Gotch, did the full signi- ficenice of the event strike home. Then excited men swarmed into the ring, 'surging about Gotch, until the police came to his rescue and drove the'crowd back through the ropes.

The Iowa farmer was in better con- dition, was quicker and trickier, and showed a far better knowledge of the game.

Services at Baptist Church. The musical feature of the con- vention was the soulful and splen- did singing of Mrs. Alvord of Blue Earth, Minn. = It has been the writers privilege to listen to many fine voices, but nowhere has he heard a singer with better control, modulation, expression and genial singing ability. This lady is avail- able for conventions or special meetings,—The Search Light, Day- ton, Ohio. After having heard Mrs. Ira L. Alvord in the rendition of song, take pleasure in hearing testimony in this particular respect. The compass of her voice, its richness of tone, her clear enunciation, soul- ful interpretation, all unite to make her one of the most charm- ing and effective singers if has been may privilege to hear. Itis a pleasure to commend her for conventions and other public gath- erings where really helpful singing is desired. She certainly ranks among the musicians of our country. —Rev. Wm. Bell, D.

Mining stock should be bought in the dark of a moon from a total stranger. If possible pay him in lead money. Mining stock useful for several things. The long and narrow certificates are good for lay- ing on pantry shelves. The short, fat ones can be used in the bottom of the drawers. The handsome en- graved certificates, on hand-made paper can be rolled up and used for killing flies. You should of course, buy your stock carefully and choose the size which will come in handiest. Low grade mining stock should be bought just before house cleaning. It can then be laid under the car- petsduring the summer. Late in the fall it can be taken up and used for bedding for the horse.—The Con- fidential Banker. New Hotel at Turtle River.
