GAME LAWS OF NEBRASKA.
6teps Being Taken for Rigidly Enforc
ing the Same.
LINCOLN State (ianw Warden
Carter has Just returned from a tour
of the counties in the extreme west
ern part of the state, looking for of
fenders agaiiMt the game laws and
atpointinR a number of deputies,
whose duty it will be to keep a look
cut for poachers. Mr. Carter during
bis journey found that fhere was a
popular misconception at:iu hunters
as to the open season this year when
quail and prairie t hicken mn: be kill
ed. The legislature of two years ago
passed a law prohibit in;; the shooting
of quail until the fall of i:3, when
the open season on these birds be
gins on November 1 atfil continues
for one month only. The chicken soa
ron begins October 1 and continues
until the end of November, whereas
the old law permitted the shooting of
chickens beginning with September 1
ami lasting four months. Many of the
hunters figured that because the law
permitted the killing of quail in the
fall of 10"3 that the law as to the
chicken season was also amended so
a:t to allot. chicken shooting during
September; but this notion, states the
chief game warden, is a serious mis
take. Mr. Carter has instructed his
corps ot deputies t- rigilly enforce
the law against chicken shooting la
September and all offenders will en
counter a stiff prosecution if they ven
ture into the fields until October 1.
Birds are reported to be numerous In
the western counties and Game War
den Carter predicts some tine siort
for those who abide by the law.

OFFICIAL HEWS IS RECEIVED
President Roosevelt Immediately Ad
vised of the NewsA Tremendous
Sensation Created on the Isthmus
of Panama.
WASHINGTON A cable dated
August 12 has been received at the
Htato department from Minister Beu
pre, at Bogota, saying the Panama
canal treaty has been rejected by the
Colombian senate.
President Roosevelt was immediate-
i !y advised of the news. Mr. Beaupre's
telegram being forwarded to Oyster
Day.
Little additional information con
cerning te action of the Colombian
senate could be obtained at the State
department and Mr. Adee. acting see
cretary, woeld rot indicate what
course the government was likely to
pursue.
. It will be impossible for President
Marroquin to again submit the treaty
to the Colombian congress in its pres
ent form, as the senate, having re
jected It, caunot again come before
that body except by its own vote.
President Morroquin. however, can re
submit the treaty with slight amend
ments to the senate and thus reopen
the canal debate. It is believed at
the Colombian legation that President
Marroquin will adopt some such
course.
Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge
d'affaires, has received an official ca
ble from the Colombian secretary of
state dated August 13, containing the
brief announcement of the senate's
rejection of the treaty on the day pre
vious. The reason given for the rejection
of the treaty was the alleged encroach
ment on Colombian's sovereignty
which it was contended would result
from the treaty. This information
was contained in a dispatch received
by Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge,
from Foreign Minister Ricos at Bo
gota. The view taken by the senate was
at variance to that held by the gov
ernment of Colombia, which felt sat
isfied when it submitted the treaty
that there would be no loss of Colom
bia's sovereignty if the treaty was rat
ified. Incidental to the general question
of sovereignty was that of the lease
of the strip of land through which the
canal was to be constructed and the
debate In the senate indicated that
this was regarded as paramount to a
sale of the land and therefore objec
tionable. When the treaty was sub
mitted to the senate by the commit
tee to which it had been referred,
seven of the senators favored it with
certain amendments.
COLON. Colombia The rejection of
the canal treaty by the Colombian
senate has produced a tremendous
sensation on the isthmus. It was gen
erally believed the treaty would pass
with same modifications. There is
reason to suppose the majority of the
members of the senate regard the
Spooner amendment to build a canal
by the Nicaraguan route if the Pan
ama route was rejected as a mere
threat on the part of the United
States. They are convinced that the
Nicaraguan project is Imposssible and
that the Unitel States will again deal
with Colombia.
BIGGEST IOWA HAS EVER HAD.
Indications Are That State Fair at Des
Moines Will Break All Records.
DES MOINES, la. The Iowa state
fair opens Friday of this week and
the indications are that it will be the
biggest fair the state has ever had.
All of the departments will be full
to overflowing and the directors of
the fair are at a loss to know what
to do with all of the entries that have
been made. In the cattle department
nearly 800 entries have been made,
which is above last year's record. It
will probably be necessary to house
part of the cattle in tents, as the
barns will not hold all of them and
there will not be time to build more.
The horse show will be one of the
greatest ever held in the west. All
of the leading importers of the central
west have arranged to have their sta
bles represented, and when it comes
to judging horses, the best judges in
the country will have all they can do
to pick the winners.
Herder Flogged to Death.
DUPYER, Mont. Fourteen masked
men, supposed to be cattlemen, took
a herder from Joe Sturgeon's sheep
camp, and, carrying him ten miles
into the mountains, tied him to a tree
and whipped him to death. They also
shot many of the herder's sheep and
drove the remainder away. Sheriff
Taylor and a posse are in pursuit of
the whitecaps. and it is feared there
will be trouble when the two forces
meet.
Lynching of Two Men Reported.
ALBANY, Ga. Reports here state
that a white man named Thompson
and King Wrightman, a negro, were
lynched at Hartsfield for assaulting a
white woman near that place Satur

EARLY SESSION IS OPPOSED.
Many Members of Congress Will Be
Engaged in October.
OYSTER BAY, L. I Financial leg
islation and other work of the pro
posed extraordinary session of con
gress were discussed Friday by the
president and his callers, who includ
ed Secretaries Shaw and Hitchcock,
Senator Cullom and Comptroller of
the Currency Ridgely.
Considerable opposition has devel
oped to the idea of calling the extra
session in October. The point is made
that many senators and representa
tives will be engaged during October
in their state campaigns, and that it
would be politically, unwise for them
to leave their states at such a time.
It was announced that no definite
conclusion regarding the date of the
extraordinary session has yet been
reached.

RECORD CHANGE OF WEATHER.
Temperature Dropped Ninty Degrees
in Twenty Minutes.
J. P. Asher of Denver, Col., had an
experience a few days ago which
would seem to prove that there are
other changeable climates besides
that of Chicago. Mr. Asher was
working in his field one afternoon. It
was terribly hot that day, so on go
ing home to dinner he left his shoes
behind and returned to work barefoot
ed. A severe hailstorm came up and
Mr. Asher alighted from his wjfgon
the better to manage his team of
startled horses. As he stood there
his feet were buried in six inches of
hail and were badly frost bitten.
Farmer Asher allows that a change
from over 90 in the shade to a zero
temperature, all inside of some
twenty minutes, comes near marking
a new meteorological record.

It is rather remarkable that in the

none since Scbofield has been or will
be West Point men. Neither Miles,

"SOCIETY" HAS NEW FAD.
"Munching" Now the Proper Thing
at Swell Dinners.
One of the iiopular fads at Newport
at present is 'munching," whieh
means merely eating very slowly.
Munching is one of the numerous pre
ventatives of growing avoirduols,
and as it has the recognition of King
Edward it Is naturally regarded with
much favor in Newport. The theory
is that every particle of food must
be chewed slowly and carefully until
no solid material remains to be swal
lowed. Slow eating Is merely car
ried to an extreme by the new treat
ment. All London society threatened
with too much flesh is said to be
chewing very long and very thorough
ly and American converts to the sys
tem are already numerous. Its effect
is said to be noticebale at dinners,
which have come to be known as
munching parties and are much less
vivacious than they were when eat
ing and drinking went on rapidly.
Persons who eat slowly alo eat much
less than those who eat rapidly.

was alleged to have been in Canadian

was advised by Collector of the Port
Brown of Eric. Pa., to ascertain bis
exact location at the time of the trou
ble before taking the matter to the
United States authorities. He has
done so, and states that he was over
the line. The statement Is also made
by one of the captains of the fishing
fleet that nearly all of the tugs were
