This lu a tiwdo which thls city Ihih held Hlnce the days when the 1'nlon 1'nclllo railroad was tho only lino to the Uocky nioiintalnH nnd beyond. At that time all o; tho plainsmen from the Texas jiatihandlo to Fort Henton carried reolvir nnd rillcB sold by Omaha Jobbers and their other equipments camo from this city. The development of the country north and nouth and tho construction of other lines of rond have carried Jobbing houses closer to tho homes of thcuo men, but they still depend upon this city for their armB and nmmunltlon. Not only have tho old men stayed by tho town, but they have sunt; tho praises of Omnha firearms Into tho ears of the Intor duy settlers until Omaha Is famous all over the west. As a result of this, every wholcsalo houso tn tho city carrying hardware also carries n full lino of KportltiK Roods, and several Independent houses hnvo a Rood trado in this line. Volume of 'One l'lrni, Onn Omaha establishment loaded nnd shipped approximately r.00,000 Bhells for tho thotRMU last year, tho Roods koIuk from Now Mexico to Montana. Tho other shells loaded and tent f rui-.i tho city will bring the total up to probably 1,000,000, while moro thuu twice as many nuiro were sold by Job bins; houses already loaded nt tho factory to local dcalors. Tho men who are In a halilt of shootluK nt traps are very particu lar In iennrd to tho loading of their shells, and ono o, tho Onnha houses has estab lished such n reputation that It loads the Fhells for utmost all of tho contests of uny Importance in tho northwest. In tho lino of sports outside of tho gun nnd rod Omaha has a well established rep utation, Its Jobbers shipping from tho Mis sissippi river to tho l'aclllc const. In re cent years there has been a considerable 1 falling off In outdoor sports, but tho Indl J' rations for tho prosent year aro that there will bo u revival which will tax tho ca ducities of tho factories of tho country In nomo lines. When lawn tennis was tho rage thero vcro established many fnctorles for tho manufacture of racquets. A few years ai;o tho sport fell Into disuse and many of the factories were closed. An en terprising Yankee bought tho deserted ma chinery for a song, nnd today, with a pro pc tlvo roxtval lu lawn tennis and n do V Kami by dealers for largor quantities nt i goods, ho finds himself practically tho only manufacturer of racquets .lu tho I'ulted Htatrs.

Thts year they nro making prep- . arattons for a larger trado than last year and their customers will have no trouble In I being supplied. i Hut tho greatest salo In outdoor Fpnrt3 which Is nntlelpnted by tho local Jobber3 of sporting goods Is in the lino of golf , coeds. Said ono of tho heaviest dealers ! this week: "Until this year golf has been tho game of the cities. Tli's was dun lu tho largor part to tho fact that tho clubs retailed at 12 and $3, :i llgtiro which few persons In tho smaller towns will pay. In tho .uatc of Nebraska theio wero but four golf clubs to my knowledge, nnd they were not large. American Ingenuity has solved tho ques tion of expense, and thero Is n lino of eluba being nmilo which can bo retntlcd at $1 to $1.2.". For this reason, combined with the wider knowledge o't tho game, I predict that every, town In tho state of 1,000 In habitants will hnvo Us. golf club this yen" and thnt tho Interest In tho game will ap proximate tho enthusiasm hIiowii In regard to baee ball ten years or moro ago. All of the wholesale dealers of the west antliipato this condition and orders for golf clubs nnd balls on tho part of western houses have almost taxed the capacity of tho factories. "It may surprlso you to know thnt with all of the growth of tho golf fad Interest Is Increasing In croquet. Last year I or dered lnlf n carload of theso goods and another Omnha houso did tho same, lie fore tho season was over I was sending orders onBt, whIH tho other houso cnrrlcd over no goods.

MONEY BALM IS WANTED Mc.Mniilunl tiring llenvy DumiiKc Snli AkiiIu'C Itnllroud Coiti- IIMII). James 11. Mt.Manlgnl has sued the. Chi cago, hit. 1'aul, Minneapolis & Omaha Hall way company for $25,000 damages. Ho as serts that ho was "almost" disabled for life by having pis left foot and ankle crushed by the falling of an old depot plat form at I'endcr, unon which ho was work ing for tho deferihutt company, Tho acci dent occurred cu November 11, ISM. Next Sunday Tho Hco will begin tho publi cation of a new series of trnvol letters by Frank O. Carpenter. They will cover, all told, about 20,000 miles of out-of-the-way Journeys through somo of tho least known partB of tho globe, Including Farther India, Malaysia, tho Dutch Knst Indies, tho South Sens, Australia, Tasmania, Now Zealand, tho Samonn Islands and Hawaii. After leaving China Mr. Carpenter started out to visit tho principal colonies of tho Pacific ocean, to Investlgnto for us how tho great nations of Uuropo aro bearing tho "wlilto man's burden," with a view to giv ing to Undo Sam somo object lessons as to his management of tho Philippines and I'orto ltlco. Tho first colony visited was that of tho French In Cochin China, and Farther India, and then tho thriving settlements of John Hull nt tho Strait of Malacca. From Slngaporo Mr. Carpenter went to Java, tho leading Island of tho colonial em pire of tho Dutch In thoKast Indies, nnd from thero took ship and traveled to tho eastward through tho vast archipelago which lies south and cast of the Philip pines. Ho had tho assistance of tho Dutch governor general of tho Kast Indies and tho colonial oniclals In his Investigations, and ho gives us fresh information about Iiornco, Sumntru, tho Celebes nnd other Islands, tho nnmes ot which aro compara tively unknown. Ho describes tho chnng06 that aro going on In New Guinea, tho big gest island of tho world, which Is now owned by the Dutch, tho English nnd tho Germans. From Java his Journey was nlong tho northern coast of Australia to Torres htralt, through ,tho Coral seas and thence down Insldo tho fircnt Harrier reef nnd on clear to tho bottom ot tho Australian con tinent. From Melbourne, the capital of Victoria, ho crossed over to Tasmania, tho Van Dlo man's lnnd of our geogrnphles. Ho shows how this Island, onco supposed to be u desert, hns now u rich colony owning somo of tho finest sheep of tho world, nnd how Its people aro now making fortunes out of Its gold, silver and other minerals. From Tasmania Mr. Carpenter went to Now Zealand and thenco sailed for five days north to look up our possessions In tho Samoan Islnnds, from where, later, he took fchlp for otir new America In the Hawaiian Islands. This Is tho Journey In a nutshell, but It given no Idea of Its extent and Interest. Tho trip was almost ns loug as ono around tho world. It will bring forth more Inter esting Information than any recent tour of tho globe, for tho reason that most of It Is over new paths and In comparatively unknown countries. The Australian and New Zealand letters will be given first on account of tho live Interest which now exists In thosu coun tries. New Zenlnnd has within the past few months uttracted great attention tho world over. Situated away dowu on tho edgo of tho south pole, far below tho equator, In the heart of tho South Pnclflo ocean, It hns become tho center of all soru of now Ideas In labor movements. Its pcoplo nro attempting to work out In' their own way tho problems of capital and labor. Tho country is run by tho wnrklngman, tho Inborers fixing their hours of work nnd wages, and practically saying how their dis putes shall bo arbitrated with their em ployers. The sanm thing largely provalls In Austrnlla, and tho two countries may be called tho worklnginan's continent. Mr. Carpenter has gono through them with his eyes on.cn. He hns Interviewed the stntesmen, has talked faco to face with tho laboring men, nnd will report things Just ns they nro. Tho Instructive nature of theso letters cannot bo overestimated They will bo full of valuable Interest, nnd no ono who wishes to bo up to tho times In current questions can afford to miss them, BAKER MAN STILL BAKES StinilKrcti I tilvon Another Week in Will eli lo Clean Ills SIioji. Albert O. Sundgren has been given an other week In which to satisfactorily clean up his bakeshop nt 2016 Fnrnam streot. When tho case against Sundgren was called In police court yesterday for tho third time tho sanitary ofllcors nnd tho prose cuting attorney protested against tho re quest of the defendant's attorney for a con tinuance, who asked that tho case bo al lowed to go over two weeks. Ho stated that ho had expected to mako somo nirangem juts with tho city ofllcers by which tho enso was to bo dismissed, but Sanitary Ofllcers Woolrldgc and (llbbons told the court thnt Sundgren has made no progress In tho matter of cleaning out tho rats and mlco which havo been making their homo In his bakery. Notlco was llrct served on Sundgren nbout tho mlddlo of January, but tho olllcors said they had been unablo to bring about any satisfactory cleansing of tho establishment. They say that rata and mlco still infect tho building nnd that no repairs havo been mado lu tho floor to stop the holes by which the vermin enter. They said that Sundgren stated to them when tho caso camo up last week that ho had procured covers for tho dough troughs, but that an Investigation yesterday showed that they wero not yet In place. Tho attornoy rondo the remark to tho court that tho covers were ordered nnd that becnuso of tho slowness of tho carpenter Sundgren had Improvised some. Ho prom ised that tho shop would bo straightened up within a week and tho case was continued until next Friday.

It Is said that Conway got rich by It, whllo tho moro distinguished "promot ers" lost money but that Is another story. Mr. Konnard subscribed for u lot of poul try magazines nud then ordered nn Incu bator to bo sent to his home 1S21 Dodgo street. FIvo gallons of keroscno nnd llfty commission houso eggs wero next added to tho outfit. Then ho lit tho lamp In tho Incubator, plueed tho eggs tenderly In their plush-llned pockets, regulated tho heut so tho thermometer registered s degrees nnd began to calculnto on how he would Invest tho proceeds of his now industry. .Ilr. Keniuiiil In Impudent. Mr. Kennnrd counted his chickens before they wero hntehed. Tho next twenty-ono dan dragged on leaden heels. Tho Instructions thnt camo with tho Incubator said tho eggs must bo turned twlco a day, presumably to keep them from burning, but Mr. Kennnrd used to turn them from threo to nlno times n day. In his enthusiasm ho would tako nn egg out, hold it to tho light and try to look through It to see If thuro was any ovldenco of Its quickening Into life. Tho other members of dm household looked on with Intorcst. but with Imperfect appreciation. Mrs. Kennnrd novor did expect It to enhance their fortunes, and after tho new hired girl mistook tho Incu bator for n refrigerator and Uled to put three pounds of butter and a veal cutlet Into it sho lost faith In tho vonturo, but kept her distrust to herBolf. On tho evening of tho twenty-first day Mr. Kennnrd approached tho antique oak box with n beating heart. A still, small voice within reassured him and tilled him with n great hopo. Pulling out tho drawer ho saw forty nine eggs, looking very much as they had looked threo weeks before, but from tho si Jo of Hie fiftieth protruded the hend of a llttlo fluffy rl-hku, ' This " Im said, ' is tho advnn' " i"iard Soon othtr' will cone Uut they Utdn t. Threo duya passed and tho forty-nlno eggs lay Intact In their cases. Ser Well Dour, IMemr, Mr. Kennnrd turned up the lamp, raising the temperature to !ifi. Meanwhile tho little fluffy chicken, look ing 111.0 an animated puff ball, seemed to bo unhappy. It appeared to feel Its position iih nn orphan keenly. It did nothing but sit and "peep" all day, and most of tho night, and hnd no moro affection for Its mother than for thn china cupboard or tho cook stovo. Ah tho wrotched fowl refused to oat, It Is alleged that Mr. Kennnrd bought It a nursing bottle, but all to no purpose. Tho chicken seemed not to understand Its strange Eurroundlngs. It had no means of communication with tho world nml no ono could guess Its wants. Ah It scorned to yearn for a companion, they put It In tho cage wih a canary, but this followhhlp wns not congenial. It Is two weeks old now and 'is growing moro wan nnd emaciated day by uny. Five days after this solitary maverick wns hatched Mrs. Konnard noticed that tho Incubator was still running, with tho mer cury in Its thermometer mounting up to 103. And that !s why sho gave n llttlo boy a quarter to carry away four dozen grilled eggs. Mr. Kennnrd now has an Inc-jbator that ho will sell chenp. Ho says tho experience ho has had Is worth moro than tho four dozen eggs ami tho flvo gallons of oil, but he will not repeat tho exporlmont.
