THE ARGUS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1005. 7 MATCH IS GLOSEI John Voss, of This City, to Wres tle Doc Fillmore, of Des Moines, Dec. 22. GO HELD AT BURLINGTON Farmer Burrs Gives Hi Opinion of the Relative Ability of the Two Men. According to a Des Moines press dispatch, John Voss, of this city and Doc Fillmore of Des Moines have each deposited $230 with the sporting edi tor of the Register and Leader, as for feit money and a side bet for the wrestling match that Is to be held In Burlington Friday evening,- Dec. 22. Voss has sent a draft for h!s share of the bide bet and a letter saying that he will be in good condition and ex Icts to win from the Des Moines man. Fillmore has been on the mat regu larly with the wrestlers, training a; J Des Mo!nes for various matches, and ; appeared a week ago in the prelimln arks of the Burns-Hackenschmidv. match. He displayed exceptional speed and surprised his most ardent aumir crs. Des Moines sports cannot see how it is possible for the big fellow to lose, and several are planning a trip to Burlington to see the go. Bars Glm Optatom. Farmer Burns, who was in town for his big match with Hackenschmidt said: "I have not seen Voss wrestle for some time, but I know he is good. He will have to be very good, how ever, if he expects to beat Fillmore. Doc has wanted another match with me, but I have beaten him and I am now too busy with Carlson and Hack enschmidt and the other Swedes that they are bringing against me. After I have finished with Hackenschmidt and if Fillmore wins from Voss at Burling ton. I may take him on. "I have not been in Burlington for several years, but I like the town very much and I may go down to see Fill more and Voss meet there. The last time I was in Burlington was when Frank Gotch was a youngster and I had him with me. Oscar Wassem was doing some great work on the mat in those days and beat Gotch once. I beat Wassem, and then Gotch came back and beat him. I remember we drew some good houses, and the people down there like the game. Thirty-five hundred people saw "Farmer" Burns defeat Charles Hack enschmidt in a mixed style match al Des Moines Wednesday night. Bums won the toss, took catch-as-catch-can. and with this advantage won the first and last falls. He was on the defens ive most cf the time. The match was rough and gruelling. The time was 21, 24 and 15 minutes. IN HANDS OF THE COURT Mackin Will Contest Arguments Ciw ed Before Judge Pa rm enter. Judge E. E.

' y V '' TWO SMALL FIRES IN TOWN Gasoline Explosion and Shower of Sparks Call Out Department. A small gasoline explosion occurred this morning near the oil shed in the rear of the Hodges & HIadel grocery store. Ouly a hniall quantity of the oil exuloded. and no damaire resulted. j The depaitment was called, but the names were extinguished by the store employes. Burning refuse, thrown against the screen top of the chimney by the draft, at the Rock Inland mattress factory on First avenue near Twentieth street, caused a shower of sparks over all ad Joining buildings. In fear that the sparks would tet fire to the old frame structures adjoining the property on the alley, an alarm was sent in to the department. N'o damage was caused. I ft MILDRED HOLLAND In "The Triumph of an Empress." as produced al the Illinois last even ing, had few equals here this season leading pa its were all well filled witn no one in particular standing out as against the others. In the line of com edy there was constantly something new to be heard. Features were new i ongs well sung, and a girl who could dance. The production should have had a crowded house. We Shall See. Tonight we shall have an opportunity to see at the Illinois "What Women Will Do." Full of Wholescme Romrnce. Mirth and wholesome romance are the key note to the success of that quaint com edy. "The County Chairman." winch will be presented at the Illinois then tor on Sunday evening. George Ado, the writer of this comedy is credited with exceediug his previous efforts in humorous writings and "The County Chairman" reflects life in the middle west in the early 'No's in a graphic way. The types drawn by the humorist art; said to be the most laughable on the contemporary stage. The plot deals in a very natural manner with a h!i tical campaign in Jefferson county. In diana, and the stirring scenes in tin; county seat, a small village, where the hero, Tillford Wheeler, is nominated for prosecuting attorney, against Klia Itigby, Wheeler's prospective father-in-law, are pictured in all naturalness. Theodore Ilabcock who plays the role of the Hon. Jitn Hackler, the county chairman, is said to give a rugged and remarkably true to life portrayal, lit is aided by a score or more village characters i',rawii in the inimitable Ade style and without that touch of exaggeration so often found in rural plays. Mildred Holland. .Mildred Holland has often been referred to as one of the best American emotional actres ses, but since she has made her phe nomenal success as Catherine the Great in "The Triumph of an Empress"' she is also styled the queen of comedy. Wht n Miss Holland appears at tho Illinois theatre tomorrow, thea tregoers will set: her ia thy best part she has ever portrayed. Iu reviewing her performance, the Worcester, Mass.. Telegram said in part: "Mildred Holland, who is well known to Worcester audiences, was the star of the play. Her work gave it body, soul and flavor. She has the rare faculty of comedy. She has vi vacity and stage presence. She Is one of the great lights, the big women or the theater." MULHERN VISITS THE CITY New Superintendent of Galcsburg Di vision of "Q." Visits Rock Island. .1.
