Our Ifllc deceased Icglslnluro did some flno
work In Its attempt to preserve tlie game
and fish of this , state , that Is. It one looks
at the law , and that IH about all that Is left
for him to do. In this connection the game
laws of Nebraska should be compared with
these of Minnesota or almost any other
state In the union. The appropriation made
by the Into deceased for fish cul
ture will simply be wasted and
nothing done , simply for the reason that
there Is no ono to make It his business to
enforce the law , and there 19 only ono rem
edy , and that Is the game warden system.
Minnesota's game law provides- warden
and deputy for each county , giving him the
same power as the sheriff of hla county In
connection with hla office , and as he draws
a good salary , he spends all of his time In
protecting game , Including feather , fur and
fin , and with the result that the lakes are
well stocked with the best of game flsh , the
fields are full of quail and the timber full
of grouse and squirrels , while all other
species of gome the sportsman delights In
are on a rapid Increase. At no season of
the year can a dealer have In his possession
for the purpose of selling or shipping any
fish or game , the warden having the power ,
with or without warrant , to examine- the
cold storage and refrigerator houses at any
tlmo and to examine the baggage of visiting
sportsmen to see that they do not take out
of tbo state more than the allotted number
of each spectra of Huh \ > r game. Ho enforces
the law , and thus not only preserves the
game , but nukes It very unprofitable for
that genus known as the "gamo and fish
hog. " It would not have cost this state a
dollar more to have passed such a law
than It did to pass the farcical affair now on
our statutes. Think of this : Any ono
killing a quail in season cannot have thorn
In possession , thus laying too shooter liable
to arrest as soon as he pockets the bird , and
the result will be that no person will pay
any attention to the law except , perhaps , the
olty hunter who only makes short trips to
lake and field. The natural result will be
that It will be Impossible to make a bag of
any kind of game or fish In the state.
Apropos of Mils , It might bo well for the
angler to look after Cut Off lake. Here Is
as line a body of water as can be found lu
this section of the country and a natural
homo for bass , pickerel and other species of
game fish , but how often does any ono hear
of a two-pound baai , or a oue-poumlor for
that matter , typing .caught . In these waters ?
The Haw Hide useij to be full of the finest
of flsh , and 11 can. remember , and not long
ago , either , when a day spent on that
legendary llttlo river was equivalent to a
full string of bass or pickerel , but I will
venture to say , tha there has not been half
a dozen bass cauglt ) In Douglas county that
would average ! two pounds this season , To
bo sure ono can cstch fish here , but what are
they ? Sun fish about the size of a piece
of chalk , catfish not any larger and , to the
shame of the" alleged fishermen , baos and
pickerel about the" same size. Any day
one can see string's of flsh a yard long caught
In Cut Off lake , and not a flsh In the whole
catch that will reach five Inches lu length.
Were these flsh thkcn out of any of the
Minnesota wafers rind not thrown back im
mediately the' fisherman would find his
sport , If such Jt can be called , rudely Inter
rupted and himself occupying a bed room
provided by the state for Just suph graceless
scamps.
The Dupont Gun club will give a tourna
ment during state fair week. . Money and
merchandise prizes will be offered.
The Council muffs Gun club and the
Omaha Indians are figuring on a team shoot
of about ten men to a side. The winners
are to get a keg of nails , donated by Will
Krug.
Chief "Heap No Talk" Loomls Is away up
yonder on the average list. Both Loomls
and Blake are hot on the trail of the "Only
Parmelee. "
Montmorency and Carmlchael , two of the
"old guard , " are both doing very little shoot
ing this year , claiming that business re
quires attention and cannot be neglected.
That Is all right , boys , but break away Sat
urday afternoon , anyway.
If anybody happens to drive up and ask
you , you can toll them that Con Young and
Bill Urewer of the Duponts are shooting a
clip that Is extremely hard to beat. Their
average is something like BO per cent.
Ono of the most promising of the new
shooters la Mr. Snyder of the Townsend Gun
and Wheel company. This Is Snyder'a first
year at the traps , hut he frequently scores
twenty-three and twenty-four out of twenty-
five , and Is what is known as a "comer. "
Mr. Handle-It of Council Bluffs , ono of the
nicest of gentlemen and a cracking good
shot , would just as soon shoot a little match
with some of the Omaha cracks as not.
Now , boys , vou know the way ; go and got
him.
Colonel W. H. S. Hughes , the esteemed
president of the Omaha Gun club. Is one
of Ihe high men on- the average list. Mr.
Hughes baa always had a habit of being
near the lop.
When Colonel Parmelee beat all the cracks
at Clear Lnko rccenlly and walked off with
the high average for the tournament , he
made it possible to determine who Is Ihe
best all round shot In the world. All the
flno shots In America and , for that matter ,
In the world , were there , Iho largots were
thrown low anil swift and the birds were a
picked lot of Charley Grlm's own make.
If there Is anybody In Ihe country who can
beat Parmelee either at live birds or blue
rocks , or both at a clatter , Omaha uports-
mnn would like to sco the color of his
whiskers ,

won by Mr. Crablll on the small margin of
two birds. At fifty birds Mr. lUmllctt had

six out of fifty to Crablll'B forty-two. At
seventyfivebirds the contestants were even ,
nnd at thp finish the scores stood olghty-
nlno to eighty-seven , cracking good scores

If they do , will bo very Interesting from

race would be shot ? Now get together , boys.
A mo.st plcasarib , surprise was perpetrated
on Colonel W. H. S. Hughes , the honored
president of the Omaha Gun club , Saturday
When he arrived at the club grounds and
started to remove his old Lefever from Its
gun case , Imagine his surprise to find thrreln
a handsome new $ SO Greener , a token of
friendship and esteem from the club mem-
hers of the Omaha Gun club. The gum was
ordered by the committee having the mat'er
In charge , and was made especially for Mr.
Hughcn , bclnR an excellent duplicate In
weight and measurements of Mr. Hughes'
old gun , but of the highest modern finish , a
gun that any man would feel proud to own.
Dave Sullivan , the sassy llttlo Boston

tember , he will meet Pedlar Palmer , the
stocky English champion , for the world's
honor In the midget class. All I can say
auent this fight Is tliat It ought to be a great
one. The Boston lad knows nothing but fight
and will be hard to rout , and yet I am con
strained to pick the Johnny Bull for a win
ner. Both have had considerable experience ,
but Sullivan lacks several of the qualities
that go to make up a great man , while
Palmer possesses them all.
OMAHA IS NOT OUT OK THIS 11.VCI3.
Its CIiniiepN Oooil for Sec'iirlinr Xn-
tliiniil I , . A.V. . 1SJIS Meet.
The following article which appeared In
the Peilal , a St. Louis cycle paper , recently ,
goes to show that Omaha has the support of
the entire west and some of the east in her
efforts to get the national meet In 1S9S :
Who gets the national meet for 'OS ? is n
question to be decided at the next national
assembly to be held In St. Louis February
'next.
Indianapolis wants It , Is making a strong
play Cor It , nnd although she baa just
entered the Held she feels sure the victory
is already won. Possibly It Is , but it la
the opinion of many that Inter develop
ments will show things in it reversed order.
In a recent issue of n well known cycling
publication an Indianapolis press bureau
article wns headed : "Omaha Out of the
Hace. " Just where this Information came
from is not known , but It Is gcncrnllr con
ceded by posted parties that thp "Hoosier
City" considered Omnha out of the race
simply because she bad entered and s-nip-
posed herself to l > e the whole thing. She
could not be blamed for so doing , as It was
but an ordinary HooKier trick.
Indianapolis , the Infant entrant In thin
great race , boasts of her many excellent
and superior advantages and puts forth as
Inducements hotel accommodatlonn , cycle
paths , miles of asphalt streets and fast
track , to be built It ? ho Is successful In se
curing the meet. Omaha has made no boasts
as yet , but has boon working steadily for
the last two years , malclnq preparnttoml
to handle the meet for ' 98 whether suc
cessful or not. At the national meet hcM
last year in Louisville , Omaha made by far
tbo best showing1 of any of the thousands
of visitors attending and by so doing she
made many staunch friends and can now
rely on a strong support from Kentucky.
On the other band Indianapolis failed to
make herself cither heard or seen , but wan
nevertheless In strong force when Omriha
held her banquet In her headquarters at the
Louisville hotel.
Early last March Omaha formed n stoc\t
company , with $23,000 capital , for the pur-
pone of building a third-mile cement track
whether or not her efforts are awarded' '
with the success Justly dim her. Should she
be successful In carrying her point there li <
more money nt her finger tips to bo used
In maklnpf the meet an unprecedented suc
cess and entertaining visitors In a manner
that would create a general satisfaction
among all.
The Transmlcslsslppl Expisitlon to be hold
In that city next year should alone be
enough to show the cycling public the
proper place to decide the next cycling
national championships.
Omaha has hotel accommodations and
parks galore , miles of asphalt and macadam
a reels , a cinder path pklrtlns the plctur-
esaue banks of the "Big Muddy" for nine
miloH north of the city , where It enter.- '
the village of Florence , wlierp tbo wheelmen
could rpend a day of pleasure beyond tbo
anticipation of any , a < lay that would cause
our Hoosler friends with their broad ripple ,
run to reclothp themselves In their Infant
garments and hang out tbo Map of truce.
Indlnnnpollft . was ilecidodly mistaken In her
Ideas concerning the Gate City of the mid
west , for nt tn present stapc of the same
Omnha can ride rings around her nnd
handle a national cyllng event In n far
more satisfa * lory manner than any of her
opponents. I'lilladolphla has pledped her
f-upport for Omnliu , nnd many other il- |
vl ! on east of the great rlvor are ready anil
willing to work for h , and an a matter
of course , the mllro west will stand by
her till the battle Is won or lost.
TbP Ilno'ler City claims to be In the ren
ter of the inaiwcs of League of Amei'.c-au
Wheelmen member- * , and possible nlte Is , but
why should Hint pecure her the meet ?
Omaha l In a locality where league mom-
bora ore not In abundance , but ncarce , be
cause none of th'i national events Inivo been
In her direction nnd dissatisfaction Is broodIng -
Ing In the breasts of many ut the treat
ment they have received nt the hands of
the great organization , A meet held In the
west would do far more toward the general
promotion of the league than If it were held
In any other purl of the country. It would
greatly Increase the membership where It
Is most nepfled. nnd enable the le.-Kii ( to
procure a foothold In n part where the
secession striifKJlQ 1ms been the fiercest.
Under all probabilities It would bR Ilia mr-nrn
of scouring frpo transportation of blcyclen
over many of the western roads , u con
cession that would be regarded n n signal
victory for the League of American Wheel ,
mon nnd a demonstration of lt ability to
uphold whet-lmen'H rluhtH , and nt the sarno
tlmo prove that a national meet , fcconi ]
to none , could be held west of the Mis
sissippi.
The above article 1 but ono of .the many
favoring Omaha that have appeared In dlf-
fcrcnt cycle publications throughout the
country ami shows that If her wheelmen
could have the financial support of the bus-
Inrsrt men of the city that It would be a
comparatively easy matter to capture the
bit ; meet in 1S98. Some action must bo
taken at once in the matter and the fiuggra-
tlon offered by D , W. Filch seems to be the
best and easiest way to decide the question.
Mr. Flich'd Idea Is to have five representa
tive wheelmen , five members of the Coinmcr-
clal club , five Knlghtu of Ak-S.ir-Ben and
five directors of the Exposition association
meet ard decide whether or tint Oinah.i
wan IB the meet , and If she does , find ways
and means of securing and handling It.
