The strlfo In tlio National league ROSS
bravely on , nntl , while I repeat It looks Ilko a
runaway rnco for Ned Hnnlon's Orioles , It la
n long time till October , and there Is no
telling what may happen. Surely the great
est surprise of the struggle ao far la the
minroloua showing of the Loilhvlllo team.
This aggregation of scrappy , ambitious young
bloods are trailing right on the heels of. the
leaders , mid , what Is better , show a determination -
termination to remain there. When the
Louisville. ? opened up the season with a win
ami then continued to turn down their op
ponents the knowing base ball world Indulged
In a loud guffaw , Just as If this excellent
work of the Colonels was a laughing matter.
Predictions that they would fall haul before
the season was a week old canio from all
points of the cominss , but the prognosticated
tumble has not put In on appearance jot.
Tlio season now is nearly a month old and yet
the llailrhon youngsters are scrambling along
with the top-notchci's. Tlio record of the
team recalls the Orst pennant yeir of the
IJaltltnorr'S They began the season with Just
mich a lively crow and on every hand the
wiseacres were admonishing the cranks to
watch thorn tumble Hut they surprised everyone
ono and the end ot the race saw them far In
advance ot their nearest competitor. History
may repeat Itself and It would be plevilng
to the vast army of fans If It would , jet It Is
hatdly possible. HaUlmoro Is as strong as
over , Boston Is playing great ball and
Philadelphia Is a dangerous quantity. Cleve
land , while she will alwaya be a factor In the
race , la considered weaker thin last year
and will not bo abreast the leaders at the
finish. Chicago has been an egregious dis
appointment , while Plttsburg , Brooklyn and
Cincinnati will cut no greater figure than they
liavo heretofoie St. > Uiils Is by no meaiu
in weak as some people think she Is and
will win a lot of games before the loaves
turn brown.
Sockaloxls , the Spiders' great rlghtflelder ,
may bo Justly termed the premier ball find of
the season , although It It not a month old.
This young Indian player , taken out ot the
ranks of a university team , hai gone agilnat
tlio best pitchers In the major league and
swatted the ball with unceasing regularity.
( But hero his good work has not stopped , ns ho
lias plnyed one of the greatest ( 'elding games
over seen. Friday , a week ago , In the Spiders'
game ngalnst the Colts , the big chief covered
lilmself with glory. Out of five times at the
bat bo cracked out three scorching singles
and onn thrco-baggor , tcaldes coaxing a base
on balls from Dnzer. . In the field he accepted
flvo chances without an error , ono of them
being the bagging of a long fly with one hand
wlillojtwo men , -wore on bases saving the
Bntne for his team. Besides this great work
bockalexls Is a great drawing card on ac
count of being a full-blooded descendant of
poor la. Tlio bleachers lo\e to hurl nick
names at the joung chief , but ho only smiles
in a dignified way and answers their Jeera
with his good llttlo stick. Patsy Tcbeau Is
to bo congratulated on his gre-at find such a
man as Sockalexla would be a tower of
strength to any team in the league.

There has certnlnly been an extra good tot
of car-olds show up In the opening on
the running turf this spring , judging from
what I read In the eastern papars. The rank
and nio out hero hardly know what n 2-ycar-

racing enthusiasm until ahe Inaugurates n
first class running meeting. The new fair

a tornado , and will provo a great horse If
ho can stand the preparatory course. Among
the fillies Kltefoot commands the * ndmlrntlcn
of all observers. She Is n trim little dame
and the touts are unanimous on the head
that oho can show her skirts to any filly on
the turf. She won n cracking good race last
week and will bo heard at again , and often
during the season.
The cricket season In Omaha lms opened
In earnest and the prospects of this Kngllsh
pastlmo wcro never brighter than they era
at the present time. The Omaha Cricket
club , which has always been the mainstay
of the game In this city , will in nil proba
bility find It&elf alcne In the Held this } car ,
having been alone able to "come up smiling"
after pasalng through the past few jears of
financial depression. This club has been In
existence , on" and on , for the past twelve-
years , but Its real etart In llfo began flvo
years ago , when It was organl/ed OIL a busi
ness basis , and has continued to grow ever
since , slowly , to be sure , but none the lrr > 3
certain , until It now finds Itself dn a petition
which must bo highly g/atlfylng to the old
menfbers who liavo stood by It through thick
and thin. Through the kindness and gener
osity of Herman Kountzo it has a ground
at Twentieth nnd Emmet streets which
would bo a credit to any club In tlio country ,
on which 19 erected a comfortable pavilion
for the use ot players rud spectators. Thlo
pavilion was put up by the members of tlio
club without any outsldo assistance what
ever , and Is now1 paid for , which fart shows
that crlckot his got a flrm hold hero and has
coino to stay. Not only have the Omahas
in ado themselves felt heie In tbo city , but
they have made a mark for themselves out
sldo. Since their organization they liavo
met and defeated teams from all over this
part of the country. In fact they never
met defeat until 1893 , vhen they divided
honors with Iho Minnesota club , winning two
games and losing two to that strong aggre
gation. Last season mainly through their in-
lluonco the Northwestern Cricket association
was formed , comprising the Chicago , Winni
peg , Minnesota and Omaha clubs. At the
llrst tournament , held in Chicago last year ,
they had to contend wlih teams of picked
mon chosen from a membership of about COO
and very naturally were defeated , but not by
any means disgraced ; and far from being
discouraged by this defeat they have gained
a good dea of experience , and at the coming
tournamen. in St. Paul this summer will be
found fighting for Omaha's Interests with
every prospect of holding their own with any
club , however strong , which they may be
called upon to meet. Hicaerto the club has
always endeavored to play the game as It Is
played In England , vlr , on a turf wicket.
This season , however , A | > i > committee
has decided to give up xU t mode
of playing and In the future matt.i.g
will bo used. The reasons for this change aie
various and conclusive chief among them is
the fact that in this climate of hot and\ dry
summers It Is next to an impossibility to
Keep a turf pitch in good condition. As every
cricketer knows. It Is absolutely necessary
to liavo the pitch perfectly level and true In
order to give the batsman a fair chance
against the bowler ; and herein lies the secret
why the Omahas have always been , lamenta
bly weak at the bat in comparison with their
excclknco In the bowling and fielding depart
ments. This season an effort will be made
to strengthen and develop the confidence of
the btsmen by using a matting pitch , and
there is no reason why some of the excellent
material the club possesses should not turn
out a flrst-cloBs batting team. There are at
least half a dozen really good batsmen In the
club v\ho have never been able to show them
selves off to advantage on account of the
bumpy condition of the ground , and It Is to
be hoped that this season tluso men will give
lib some dlsplajs of their prowess which will
be a credit to themselves and the club to
which they belong.
Last Wednesday evening there was a very
enthusiastic meeting at the Murray hotel and
numerous new members were elected. The
committee Is Jubilant over the great increase
of membership this spring and If the en-
thuslabm which is now. being showi\ kept
up , as It no doubt will bo , the membership
of the club will bo easily double what it has
ever reached befoie. Among the matches on
the schedule for the near future Is Omaha
ngalnst Council Bluffs , the latter town hav
ing challenged the Omahas to a game. Al
though there Is no organized club In that
city , there are a few cnthuslaHts over there
who are anxious to "take- fall" out of the
Omahas , and the latter * club had better look
out unless they wish to lose their reputation

It was not more thn two months ago that
Denver Ed Smith figured out with mathe
matical precision how he was tbp only real
heavyweight champion ot the world. This
ailthmetlcal conclusion , howevr-r , was satis
factory to no one but the Jolly , big Drum
lilirself. HI.s that
argument wati ex-cham
pion Jim Corhctt had Ignored Joe Ooddard's
money forfeit for a fight , and that the Barrier
man had punched out Peter Maher without
tuinlng a hair , and in tuin ho had whipped
the antipodean colnsn.i In seventeen rounds ,
hlnibclf , and thus became champion , Th'a
wan surely n toituoui route by which Denver
Ed gained the proud title , but ho knows
hotter now , lie met Joycph ilJartlett Choynskl
In New York last Monday night and received
a beautiful walloping In four rounds. Ho
was not exactly knocked out , but Inla \
hopeless desperation violated tbo rules so
flagrantly that the referee stopped the con
test and awarded the lujnor , ) to the opal-
wcailng Joaephui' . That the decision was all
light was patent by Smith's condition. He
could hardly eland nnd another good punch
would certainly have had a lasting soporific
clfpct. Dut while on the subject of the
tefereo's award , lot me add a word , by way of
paionthesla. Thla official was Dick Roach ,
who ueoin.1 to bo the Broidvvay Athletic
club's regular adjudicator juat now , and ho
may be all right , but his action in the Martin
Flaherty-Solly Smith fight a few nights ago
was calculated to lead one to think that he
waa "In and In" with the rugged little Call-
torn inn. There la nothing of an admirable
character In the personnel of Flaherty , but
ho made uch a funny llttlo monkey out ot
Smith that It Is hard to figure out what In
duced Judge lloach to give the latter the
light. Roach Is eld enough to draw a pension
in ring affairs and undoubtedly knew that
the big end ot the ptirt'o belonged to the
Lowell boy. However , It Is a good long wa > s
fioni here to Gotham and thU long distance
criticism may be unju.it , I know
Martin Flaherty U as cruel and as dirty a
little mug as there la In the ring today , and
the referee may have taken things into con
sideration that the ellklent press reporter
fulled to eee. Dut to go back to Denver Bdi

fight ho baa had in this country since that

I Since then ho has been over In Johannesburg ,

That It resulted In as geol as a knockout for

That Joe Cho > nskl has an even break with
any heavyweight In the world today , I verily
believe , and I take no cognisance ot hla defeat -
feat of Smith Monday night In arriving at
this opinion. Denver Hd was , and always
will be , a better barroom entertainer than a
fighter. Qlv him a big stein of beer and

guy In the world 1 know for true. He Is the ]
greatest "KIddcr" jou ever saw , can sing and
dance , or tell a story with the best of them
He can also knock n piano Into a cataleptic fit
and hat ; a fund of anecdote on hand tint Is
absolutely Inexhaustible. There Is nothing Ed
likes so much , however , ns a fight or string
ing a bloke. He'd rather toy with oomo inno
cent's credulity than dine nt the Waldorf , but
It la not very llksly he. will endeavor to toy
again with Mr. Choynskl. But as I was uay-
Ing , I think Joe Choynskl lies a clianco today
to whip any heavyweight In the world , nnd
I think the present proposed , match between
he and Corbctt IB a good thing for Choynskl
As I have Iterated nnd reiterated alnco th.it
lUtlo affair out unucr the shadows ot the
Sierras , I think there Isn't a prominent
heavyweight In the business today but who
can defeat Jim Corbctt , not even excepting
that prince of all big stiffs , Peter Maher. I
eay this In all candor. I entertain no dlsllko
for the ex-champion , In fact I like him better
slnco he received that thorough and well de-
Barved costlgatlon at Flti's hands than I ever
did hrforc , and ncldo from his fighting pre
tensions I ehall have nothing but rciipcctful
language to bestow upon him. But when it
comes to treating him as a prize fighter ,
that's when I draw my hammer. Ho can't
fight a little bit and ho knows 11 and he docs
not want to fight any one , notwithstanding
his Culminations through Iho medium of Sam
Austls deadly typewriter. It Is n lumber
yard to a wooden tooth i Ick my favorlto
funny gag that ho makes no match with
Chojnskl In fact , he haa repeatedly declared
that he will fight no ono but Fitzslmmons ,
and that la Just where ho makes one ot those
long cared boys out of himself. It Is funny
how flghtera alwajs want to got buck at tlia
man who licks them. But In Jlm'u case the
want Is an unavailing one , for Fltz , with
unusual vehemence , sweara he will pay no
further attention to his old ilval until ho
goes ) and fights somebody else and proves
that he has a claim on the recognition ot the
champiou. So there you are. Does It look
much like a fight with Corbett In it ? I think
not.
Joe Chojnskl , like Bob Fltzsimmons , la a
"natural born" fighter without a smidgeon
of klnetoscoplc blood In his veins. When
they get ready to , fight they say so , and it
doesn't take them long to get ono on. Jus > t
now Choynskl is yearning passionately for
another meeting with Corbett , but for that
matter ho has been for the past five years.
Joseph Bartlett's visual organs can pene
trate a grindstone Just as quick as any
one's. Ho doesn't know a good thing when
he seea it , I guess. You must remember Joe
came within n short flush of licking Corbett
in the only fight they over bad. That was on
the barge near Benicla , California. The nu
merous glove settos the pair had , and in
which Corbett is always reputed to have had
the best of them , cute but little crystallized
aqua with me. I repeat , la the only real
fight Choynskl and Corbett ever had ,
Choynskl came within an ace of winning ,
and would have done so had it not been for
Billy Delaney. I published the story of this
affair over Choynaki's affidavit in The Bee
several years ago , and can reproduce It any
time. Corbett began whining somewhere
along in the/seventeenth round that Choynskl
was bulling him and he wanted to quit , but
Delaney blackguarded and cajoled him Into
continuing , and the cramps seizing
Choynskl's legs , lie gave up the battle in the
twenty-fourth round. Joe's two battles with
Goddard In Australia , while ho lost them
both , stand out in bass-relief as two of the
most stubborn and terrific fights within the
annals of modern nstlana. In Boston
Choynskl boxed Fltzslmmors a five-round
draw , but Parson Davles swears to this day
that in the fourth round Joe had the Kangaroo
roe out good and plenty. He knocked
him cold , and according to the Parson's
chronometer he was Jown seventeen seconds ,
but the aftalr was supposed to have been only
a friendly exhibition and a lenient refcieo
allowed them co go another round , In which
Fltz evened up by punching Choynskl good
and hard. The champion has always asserted
tint the foxy Hebrew "capped a sneak" en
him , but that Is only Bob's excuse for his
poor showing. In Choynskl's fight with
Maher he was comparatively an easy1 winner
had his ono glaring fault not overtaken him
at an ill-omened moment. He had the Irish
man at his mercy , but In that security of
certain victory he became careless , as Is his
wont , and , Peter got in a clout that knocked
Joo's hopes higher than Gllroy'a kite. After
this parade of Choynskl's disasters my faith
In his ability to break even with any man
In the ling today may strike some people na
extraordinary. But let mo right myself
Asldo from Fitzslmmons , I think there Is a
greater paucity In the ranks ot the good , bit
ones than there has been for many a year
Corbott has deteriorated through disease ami
dissipation to such an extent that I consider
hint no more than a fair match for Kid Mc
Coy ; Pettr Maher tiever had the right to rank
with the beat good ones , and his late per
formances has stamped him emphatically as
a second-rater ; Joe Goddard is an old selling-
plater , Denver Ed Smith a vaudeville per
former , Paddy Slav In a corpse , Charlie
Mitchell a nonentity , Big Jeflrles a country
lout , and Sharkey a big , strong , healthy dub ,
and nothing moro , and again I say , there
you me. But Choynskl. He Is ono of the
moJel men of the game. Ho Is Intelligent ,
gentlemanly , young , strong and In peifect
physical condition. Ho has taken the best
of care of himself and has been Improving
steadily as the years rolled by. Since ho
took up fighting aa a profession he has de
feated the following men ; Tom Moran , two
rounds ; Jack McAuley , two rounds ; Pat
O'Snlllvan , Ihreo ; Jou Connelly , two ; William

In his last week's budget of fistic chatter
Sam Austin pretends to glvo the public
some facts about the financial details of
the Ute Fltzfllmmons-Corbett fight. Let It
first bo understood , however , that on the
17th of March Austin was not within 2,000
miles of Cnmon , and again that be has gone
stark daffy in hjs blind worship of the de
bilitated ux-champlon , and la hardly respon-
slblu for anything he prints. When It comes
to dlscuulng Jim Corbett's affairs Sam
makes a good running mate In. the nutty
stakes for old Macon McConnlclc. Austin
says , gays ho ; "I happened.to bo among
the limited few , but as I hqd Jieen pledged
not to reveal what had been Imparted tome
mo In strict confidence , I could not share my
knowledge on tbU subject with my readers.
Even now I shall disclaim ail responsibility
for the following , giving full credit to Al
Smith , who unburdened himself to a re
porter of tbo New York Press , who. In con
versing about the late fight , happened to ask
him bow much Fltz gat out of the Carson
affair In cold cash. Smith declared that the
Cornlahman did not receive a cent ot the
$15.000 purse whlrh the men were supposed
to have fought for. " Then be goca on to
relate bow Smith said that Fltz did not get
late the ring out at Carson to ll&Ut ( or tUo
purse Ttiat before going In ho entered Into
nn agreement with Dan Stttatt waiving all
right to the purse ami accepting In lieu
thereof a percentage of the gate receipts , and
that after the fight was over he returned
the check for the $15,000 punsc to Stuart.
Now , llko Sam Austin , I happen to bo among
the limited few that know a great deal moro
than ordinary men , and I boldly say tint
Al Smith lies been Incorrectly reported In
this 'matter , or he Is a liar of the ilrsl
caliber. t don't like to be harsh or
rude , but plain language h nil that
will reach the gang of disgruntled
sports who nro determined to belittle
FUrslmmons and nnko n farce out of his
victory over Corbett , While going out to
the nreim to ceo the Green-'Smlth ' and Haw
kins-Flaherty .Tlghtfl . on the afternoon of
I March 17 I met Al Smith and Parson Davlrs
on the road. A\'H stopped , and after Introduc
ing the partlcvf wliij were with me to these
two distinguished sports. Smith nnd I had a
.llttlo friendly talk-iovcr the woidy qutrrel
wo had while the big battle wa < > going on In

Hilly Madden , tlio well-known pugilistic
manager , ntid Stove O'Donncll , the heavj-
welght , of New York , spunt Thursday morn
ing In my oillce chatting about the lights
and flghtcis. Madden is ns well dressed and
ns well groomed as ever , whllo Steve Is big
and strong and In splendid health. They
stopped off here en route to Trlsco where ,
on the 9th of June , O'Donncll fights Alex
Gteggalns twenty rounds , and I look for him
to lug olS the big end of the coin. In addi
tion to looking nfter Sieve's affairs Madden
Is repicscnttiig Arthur Lumley's Illustrated
News , and from his work here I Judge ho Is
a handy man to have on your list. Billy still
thinks Corbett Is a great man , but O'Don-
nell would llko nothing softer , so he says ,
than a try-out with the ex-chainpiou , und
that explains fully what Steve thinks.
In n letter from Madison Square garden to
Spud Farrlsh mil McCune says : "Tell
Sandy that his recent criticism In The 13ee
on the coming Maher-Sharkey flght was
highly appreciated by the sports hero , otid
that ho Boemn to be ns well known , hero as

Weelily Itnmlilc llli Ute Volurloi of
Hod nnd ( iiiii.
Iowa lias always furnished a great field for
Omaha sportsmen , nnd the following synopsis
of her now game law will doubtless provo both
Interesting and Instructive : The ofllce of flail
commissioner has been abolished and a fish
and game warden appointed in his steid.
The law further provides that the possession
of a spear cr selns In or upon any waters of
the state , or within ten rods of the same ,
shall bo prima facto evidence of Intent to
violate the provisions ot the section aga'nst
spearing or p lnlnc fish ; the use ot one trout
line , not to extoud moio than Inlf vvuv
across any stream , is allowed ; no person "hall
buy , soil , or offer for sale , any fish taken un
lawfully. This clause will enable the w.aden
or his deputies to driest any person offering
fish for sale which they have reason to be
lieve were netted. Heretofore It has been
necessary to produce the evidence of perscus
who actually witnessed the crime. On game ,
no wild duck , goose or brant shall be killed
between April 15 and September 1 , and no
wild fowl shall be shot from a boat between
sunset and suniise. The possession of any
game blrda during the closed season is
prohibited , and no person , company cr
corporation is allowed to ship or carry any
game birds out ot the ( State. The killing of
quail , ruder grouse or pheasants , and v.ild
turkeys Is prohibited until January 1,1900.
No one person shall kill more than flftapn
pralrlo chickens or woodcock In one day , nor
have more than fifteen ot these birds In his
possession at ons time. Railways and ex
press companies aic enjoined from receiving
game or fish for shipment which has been
taken unlawfully. No person shall hunt upin
the enclosed land of another with dog or
gun without fir.1t obtaining permission. No
parson shall talce , kill or destroy olther nester
or eggs of any * whlppoorw-ill , night hawk ,
bluebird , finch , ' thrush , linnet , lark , wren ,
martini swallow , ' bobolink , robin , turtle
dove , catbird , sandpiper , snow-bird , blue
jaya , and black1 birds , or any ether harmltsa
biids except English sparrows. The fish and
game warden' ' Is 'empowered ' to appoint
deputies whereVer h1e sees fit , who shall servo
without expense'to ' Ihe stite , depending upon
fees for their salaries.
Through the kindness of Lieutenant A. W.
Perry I had the pleasure a day or two clnco
of Inspecting the souvenir volume of Dr. W.
Seward Webb's last summer's trip through
the Upper Yellowstone and Jackson'a Hole
countries , in the popular New Yorker's
party were General Coppinger , Lieutenants
Peny , Preston , Ladd and Enimltt of the Ninth
cavalry , J. L Webb , J. H. Purdy , the out
fit's scribe and historian , Ocorgc Bird , and
T. J. Haynes , the official photographer of
Yellowstone park , In addition to twenty-four
enlisted men ot the Ninth cavalry , guldca ,
grooms , teamsters and so forth. The sou
venir volume Is an exq'jlslto publication of
ono hundred pagca or more , gilt-edged and
beautifully bound In green Rusahn leather.
It embraces a concise and well written re-
countal of the incidents of the pilgrimage ,
and Is Illustrated by Haynes' wonderful pho
tographic views , the whole well attesting to
Dr. Seward's philanthropic and generous
character. Every man who made that memorable -
orablo trip was remembered with a copy of
this souvenir volume. The officers who rnado
up the distinguished party from this vicinity
are extravagant 'In their praise of the pro
jector of the tilp , and Lieutenant Perry says
that by rnklng the continent over with a fine-
tooth comb you might tie Dr. Webb , but beat
him never.
Hank Chestnut and J. H. Turple of Keith
county , whllo rounding up stock two weeks
ago , ran across a band of fifteen or twenty
wild horses some thirty miles north ot Paxton -
ton , near the ranch of John J , Hardln , for
merly of this city. Succeeding In separating
a young stallion from a bunch
and after a long chase through
the "chop hills , " Chestnut got his
rope onto him and ho was towed Into Har-
dln's ranch , where ho Is to bo seen today ,
thoroughly broken to ride. This band of
horses has been &een , off and on , In McPher-
Bon county for the past twenty1 yeais , It or
iginally numbering two or three hundred , but
through captures by ranchmen has dwindled
down to eighteen or twenty bead , and will
soon disappear forever.
From tlmo to time I liavo published In
these columns communications from a certain
Mr. Blank upon the failure ot wcstorn fish
cultural melliodri , but I must decllno to avail
myself of the stuff he sends me this week.
Heretofore I have given place to his articles ,
not because they represented my own Ideas
on the subject , but became I have always
known of the existence of the disapproval
of state fish culture aa prosecuted In Ne
braska and elsewhere , Mr. Blank evidently
represents the extreme of this element , and
whllo believing that the unteuabllity of bis
position would be most evident by printing
his elaborate fccreed , I can see no good In
such a procedure , and ho Is hereby notified
that his manuscript awaits bis pleasure at
my ofllce. *
In answer to a correspondent It Is stated
that doves are not clawed aa game birds In
this state , and they are continuously pro
tected by the law. However , they are aa
much ot a game bird as snipe , quail or
plover , and are slaughtered by the than-
Bands throughout the state In season , which
begins about August 10. It U but a mock
sentiment that irsoludea the dove from our
catalogue ot game ) birds. In many state *
there Is no ehaotthg that equals the dove
shooting , and in California sportsmen await
the opening of ( be season , which occurs on
thu first day of July , with the same feverish
Impatience with which we await the Inaugu
ral of the qualli season here. Many think
the birds ought not to be killed here before
the leat of August , ds It U claimed there are
many old blrdj btlll on tUo neat and the
young birds that have taken wing are too
I
small to make the shooting attractive. Upon
actual Investigation I know the birds breed
twice , and often three * times ft season In this
latitude , and I have seen newly laid eggs
In n nwt ; as late as the 17th ot August.
Joe Draltos and t'red Sonncnschlcn ot West
Point have the sporting editor's acknowledg
ments for as handsome a basket of fish as has
been received In this burg for marry and
many n moon The basket contained some
ten or twelve channel cat , averaging about
thrre-tourths of a pound each Just the right
size n number of walleyed plk < j and bass ,
tr. ) Warner of Arlington presented Al
Patrick nnd John Collins each with n hand-
toiiio black Spanish pointer puppy last week.
They ore both superb looUnij youngsters and
wilt undoubtedly make great field dogs.
The bass and cropplo fishing Is now re
ported good at Mannvva , and some fair
cntchM are being made at Cut Off and Flor
ence lakes.
Reports from the western sandhill coun
try are exceedingly encouraging as to tbo
plentitulnrsd of chicken and grouse this
spilng. The birds have bien driven down
from the north by extensive pralrt fires nnd
If not disturbed by market hunters will
furnish rare sport thla fall. They are said
to bo particularly plentiful on the big flats
along North river.
Harry C. llrome , Sheriff John McOonaU ,
H. E. Burnett and several others are up
somewhere on Long Pine creek troutlng. An
Unusual run has been noticed In the stream
this spring and the Omaha anglers left In
high hope of making a big catch.
Colonel J. J , Dickey , Lafo Garner , Frank
Hlnehart and Harry Reed left for Like Wash
ington Friday evening for a few days with
the bass. Notwithstanding the recent uu-
sea&onabo weather , the fish have been taking
the lute at lovely Washington better than for
years and already some tremendous catches
have been made.
A great many upland plover have been
killed In this vicinity this spring ; in fact
the birds have been hero In larger nutnbeis
than has been known for years. This spring
slaughter , however , Is criminal. Thqso birds
halt here only for a bilef stay In May to
Indulge In their love-making , then they move
on a degree or two north and make their
nests along the sunny sides of the uplands
and hatch tholr young. By July 10 these
young birds aie fairly full grown , and , strong
ot wing , return to this favored locality to
wax fat before taking up their long Journey
to the south. They remain hero for a full
month In midsummer and become as fat ns
butter , making a table bird but llttlo Inferior
to joung chicken or woodcock.
The fragments of what Is supposed to be
the skeleton of a Tltanothertum robiistum
waa unearthed upon the line of the Elkhorn
west of Valentino one day last week by some
section bands. Scientists have decided that
this monster of prehistoric times enjoyed life
In noithern Nebraska and South DiKota for
a period of 2,000 years or moie and they have
the skeleton of one that was exhumed at
Corral Canyon , S. D. , in 1892 at the Ameri
can Museum ot Natural History In New
York. Prof. Wortman , ono of the wise men
of the museum , after a close fctmly of the
teeth ot this specimen , declared that the
animal had depaited this Ufa at least 40,000
years ago. The party who discovered the
bones had to dig a mile and a halt Into the
earth before they found the last fragment
ot the skeleton.
J. E. IBucUngham and Del Branch , two
local railroad magnates , went down to Ling-
don ono day last week and made a ifine catch ,
principally croppies , with some few bass.
Will Hoagland came In from his Wyoming
ranch a few days ago , Dronzed up like an
Indian. He has had soruo royal sport with
the geese this spilng , reports the mountain
streams all flush and tbo prospects for trout
fishing exceedingly brlgnt.
Jim Pickerel Preston of the Milwaukee ,
together with Colonel Andy Hunt and Grand
Past Master Charlie Coons , aie at Shee-
han's place. Lake Washington. They area
triumvliato of skilled rodsmen and If the
bass are on tap they will get their share of
them.
H. B. Cory-ell Is among tlio lakes south of
Valentino making things warm for the yellowlegs
low-legs , flickers and squirrels. He has also
his little fish hook with him.
J. 1C. Chambers is preparing for his annual
spring excursion for ticut. J. 1C has dis
covered a nameless stream In this state
where the trout walk right out on the shore
and glut themselves on giasshoppcis.
Tlio Dupont Gun club's regular weekly
shoot will be held on its own grounds on
the lake this afternoon.
Barrister Bill Slmeral has a neweeven and
a half ounce rod this spring and ia getting
ready for an Inroad Into Minnesota. When
Bill gets back he Intends to hire a hall and
lull us all about it.

Mine. Calve was asltcd the other day what
advice shu would give a young woman who
had n good Nolco and fancied that Provi
dence had cut out a cateer for her on the
stage. The French woman's icply was full
of force and good sense. "I should tell her , "
elia said firmly , "to go home and mend lier
stockings , do anything but go upon the etago
There is no happlneta In n stage life. What
Is It ? It Is a life of continual worrlmont
It Is nnt to sleep , not to eat , to bo nlwajg
in a state of netves to have cruel nnd unjust
things bild of jou and motives ascribed to
you ovhlcli jou nro utterly innocent. Theie
nro very few bom aitlsts. History proves
that there me only about three grcnt nilists
In a generation. Tor one great reason the
stage Is uiihapijlnctis for the average woman
It U no pl.no for the woman who is not ab
solutely wedded to her art. The aitlst should
not think of marijlni ; . While she Is on the
stage she la not fit to Le the wife of any
nnn. Tlicie Isuilwnja ths divided heart , nnd
no man wants tint. The husband should be
the head. Hu does not wish Ilia name to be
ipon the bill boards' , nor his wife's picture
in every window. That Is right ; that is as II
Miould be. No , no ; the stage , alluring , fasci
nating as It Is , is not the place for the wlf" ,
but the woman who lives only for thn art.
That is why I say to the eiagcstruck girl ,
'Ftiy nt home ; sew , ieid , teach , inairj do
anything rather than go upon the stage. ' "
