THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , OCTOBER 1C , 1898. 11 WILING W October days are the delight of ths true fcjcllst. Dracing air Invigorates and gives n temper to rider and wheel felt at no other Reason of the year , and nature's beauties charm the cyo and bewitches the senses. These may bo seen and felt at any hour of I " thtf day. Dut the greatest charm of an Oc tober rldo Is to rise at C In the morning and wheel away over the htlU Into the country. The glow of old Sol Is purpling the Iowa end Nebraska hills , retouching the hues of . autumn on tree and shrub und producing | shades of color unrivaled by artist's , brush. | i The chill of dawn , the lazy atmosphere , the relief from city noises' , fqrm > a tpiiic that I I Inspires and invigorates , and put the rider , in magnificent condition for.lhb toil of the | day. ' The New York Times reports that the olllclrilfi of the League of American Wheel men are supremely confident of bringing the seceding professionals to their sem.es by means of Ones and penalties already imposed. They nro'sald to bo In a happy frame of mind over the situation , us in their opinion It Insures the rcalllrmlnK of the policy ot race control at the next assembly. Chair man Moll's prompt and severe action In im posing heavy lines and other discipline on tbo revolting racers and all connected with them , upon thg .occasion of their flrst' race meet , It is thought , "had much to do with this veering of opinion. Mr. Mott not only suspended all the big racers concerned unfll the flues should bo paid , but he permanently- ruled off all League of American Wheel men , track ) ! a number of prominent olllclals , inuudlnR such men as W. W. Wilson , for merly of the league Now York State Racing board ; Amos Q. Datchcldcr , former Now" York statQ hnmllcapper , and prominent Washington cyclists. Until T. J. Keenan , . Jr. , returns from Europe there will beno ! ' full meeting of the , league executive com- , { uilttee , of which ho Is a member , nnd the report this committee will make to the na tional assembly with regard to the situation will probably bo deferred pending his ar rival home. President Isaac. D. Potter Is quoted as saying that the committee , so'far . as ho know/IB unanimous In the belief that there Is at prcsciit no organization capdblo of assuming the control of 'cycle racing 'it the league should abandon it. Ho believes , his frlerids say , Iri Uio ultimate divorce of tbo league from the racing question , but not until a worthy cucce'ssor , has been found. Whllo the big organization Is still in com mand , however , ho has expressed himself forcibly.against Sunday m ing , anil any un sportsmanlike proceedings In connection with , race meeting ! . The Now York Sun susgests nn entirely now and novel cause for the secessk-u of the professionals. It assorts that -the revolt was engineered , led and Is now being manipu lated by a vengeful spirit. "Tho chief sources of inspiration for the men , " suya the Sun. "havo not' been these whoso nnmea Jiavo been most prominent , and It Is also recognized that ono of those who wielded great influence over the rebels whllo they wcro contemplating their secession Is a man nvowedry Inimical to the present admlnls- ratlon of the league. It has been eald that the men received full assurances from cer tain organizations that they would bo well taken care of If they would revolt. And this Is not the only point argued by those who Incline to the belief that the dealro on the cart of some who are Interested In the sport to retaliate , upon the league has been the most Important factor'In "creating the dis satisfaction of Iho men and the ambition , on their part to Join some visionary organ Iza- , tlon. Another significant thing Is that sev eral of these who before the men have posed ns leaders of the Insurrection have no Inten tion of remaining In the game. When they desert tho. ranks the h'andful of outlaws will bo as forfom as turtles on a fishing smack. Kddla Bajd hasarranged to go on the stage during the winter and Earl Klser Is going with him. Tom Cooper nnd Fred Sims will , It Is said , become salesmen for cycle makers , freeman has made arrangements to Join the art staff of n dally paper. Dr. Drown In tends ( o resume medical practice nt Cleve land , "Pluggor Dill" Martin , Titus nnd "Ma jor" Taylor all expect to go abroad next eprlng. Prom this It will bo seen that sev eral of these moat prominent In the Insur gent camp have been In a position where they eouM afford to lend themselves to any scheme for Injuring the league and not care about Uio outcome. These going abroad cx- uect to race In. the west durlng'tho winter , where they can easily make enough to pay their fines and reinstate themselves before going abroad to race on the tracks that honor , the rulings of the League of American Wheelmen Kaclng Doard. There are yet , eorao othqr features recog nized by Uioso familiar with the tactics of these who sway the racing men and with tbo under currents of league politics that nlve color to the remarks ot these who think that the rebels have been led to their un doing by the uhseen bands of these animated I by personal ambition. Ono thing that has several times been commented upon Is that the declaration of Independence signed by the nien bad no preamble , recited no griev ance agalust the league control and gave no reason why Uiey desired to break away. The commentators on these things are asking : ' 'Have- the men fallen Into a trap where they are at the mercy of these who led them into it ? ' " The action of the New England Passen ger Agents' association In voting that In case the League of American Wheelmen mcot next year Is awarded to Hoston all New ting- land railroads shall carry bicycles frco for members of the league to and from the meet and for n reasonable period before and after , may falily bo regarded as a trustworthy In dex of a. permanent change In the attitude of Now Knglnnd roads toward the wheel , for If bicycles are carried free for mem bers of the league during u fixed time , It will bo almost'Euro ' to follow that ) they will aoun bo carried frco for ovqrybody for all time. The Massachusetts division of the Lsaguo of American Wheelmen will therefore bo likely to secure a double victory In getting Bos- lon selected for Vho meet of 1899. It will not only get tbo meet , but It will iilao get what It has been battling for so long , the frco carriage of bicycles. "Murder ! murder ! " shouted a bicycle rider as he was pedaling at his utmost speed over the stone road from Moorcstown to Mount Laurel , N. J. "Lord have mercy on my soul ! " Good roads enabled the rider to make good time. Every ono who saw the fleeing wheelman knew him ; ho was David Thomas , a colored preacher , a man of piety and re- HgoUs ! fervor. The day' was pleasant and the colored dl- vluo thought ho would lake a rldo before preparing his Sunday sermon , which was to have been delivered at the camp meeting In progress at. Buckto. The. wife and children , who were sitting on tha lawn , were thrown into the wildest ex citement when they saw the father coming down the road at a speed never witnessed' before. The inlnlstor acted as If ho were Wild. Ho Wheeled rapidly up to the door of his house and fell unconscious to the grouhd. Mrs. Thomas summoned a physician , who stated that Uio patient was a very sick man and that ho needed rest and careful at tention. He was removed to the Burlington county hospital at Mount Holly , but he failed to rally , .and c.tplred , not before telling the story of a remarkable adventure. "I was going quietly along when I heard a startling nolso on the opposite sldo of the road and back of me. I looked around and saw plainly that It-was a man without a head , riding a bicycle. His hands were on the handle bars but no feet were on the pedals , although the machine was going at A high rate of speed. ' 'This ghastly object rode up beside mo and thep went ahead. It appeared several times in , the path and then went out ot sight. In passing mo the apparition made a nolso as If a dozen , truck wagons were going at full speed. I was almost over come with fright , but managed to get homo safely. " The Rev. David Thomas died from fright. i ' It Is , the , advlco of an old rider not to bo nervous jind fearful _ about getting punctures. Ho sa ys It Is tils experience that thoss who are most careful and try to pick their way , riding over rough places with delicacy , get more punctures than these who take chances without worrying. Ho does not recommend that wheelmen should go slam bang over heaps of refuse , Including tin cans , but ) be Bays ho has done it without getting1 any punctures In raoro than 3,000 miles , whllo others who go along dodging every Miarp- looklng stone are always In trouble. Accord ing to this wheelman catching punctures Is llko catching a disease , ono Is In most dan ger when most In fear of 'contagion. These who do not agree with his superstition will iccognlzo how often it is tru& that "slamb bang" riders escape whllo careful ones suf fer and attribute It to luck. Another rider suggests that there Is something of a legitimate explanation In the fact that the , slower and more tortuous path pursued over ! rough places by the careful ones gives to the ' fire a longer time on the place and that the | twist of the 'tire In turning tends to force i sharp joints Into It. This argument uas a certain clement of soundness. In the same i line it ) has been contended that n man can run barefoot over shells and other shaip ob- , Jccts that would out his feet if ho walked carefully. In spite of nil attempts at ex- i planatlon it Is probable , however , that the J majority of. riders will continue-to , attribute j their punctures or escape from them to Just I plain luck. , I A quaint ] thing in cycle ilcslgu Is bolng shown In England. The rider Is mounted directly - , rectly over the rear wheel ; the large chain I wheel Is mounted on ono side Just below the I saddle and it has a crank connected to it ; this crank Is driven by a lever connected to the pedals , which have only an up-and-down ! motion ; from the chain wheel the power la i transmitted to the hub In the usual way. I Although the base of tho. machine Is coasld- | crably shortened the tread Is about fifteen Inches Instead of flvo Inches. M - : Miss Lot'ta Burns , famed as the "mother of Klondike , " having been the flrst white woman to llvo at Uawson , took her bicycle with her on her trip to that place. She had no sooner landed in Dawson than scores of miners were bidding for ia The ofteis wenl Iii spite of the "Stamp act" wo are still sell ing drugs at deeply cut prices , and buy ers who are looking for anything in the , , I , , , , , M , . . , , .in.i..i i m druglino , whether the commonest patent medicine or the rarest chemical or drug , will do "well to visit our store.

AMUMA'S CIinST.MJT KAMI. Slclniiuliolr ( Hic-Awny on nn Autumn Tourlnir Trip , Amelia's chesnut bang was an admired prophecy of the coming fashions. It fell modestly from the brim of her sailor hat and showed Itself becomingly under the brim ot the cloth alpine with the pheasant's wing > whlch she wore on cloudy days when the flrst Intimation ot autumn weather was felt. The men admired Its crlspness silently or In cluded It tacitly In their compliments. The other women envlfcd It or openly expressed their admiration of Us unusual curl and stiff , ness whllo they nursed Timp curls or cour ageously brushed back their hair from their foreheads. For Amelia's bang never varied. The heaviest fogs did not Impair its beauty , and eho stepped from her bath house after the morning plunge with Its' ' most attractive qualities unimpaired. If It were ever open to criticism it was during the evening hours. Dy gaslight It had a suspicious look at Its luncturo with her beautiful head , but those rho made remarks about it then were either hypercritical or Jealous. When the party started to rldo to a neigh boring village one day , relates the Now York Sun. Amelia's bang had never looked more charming. There was an October chill In the atr and she wore her cloth hat. The blcyclo path ray through Uio woods and the i narrow strip of smooth sand was bewccn low scrub oak trees , with branches that fro- , oucutly overlapped. Amelia eamo along In the middle of the line of riders , who had straightened themselves out Into single file. when the blcyclo path was reached. The ex ertion , combined with sun , made the riders | I warm , liven Amelia's face took on a deeper hue than the customary rose color , tarnished with the brown of n , summer tan ; but her chestnut bang had never looked more attrac- i ' live. The beauty ot It was heightened by the contrast , as the other glrla' hair already looked somewhat disturbed. At u turn In the road Amelia's progress bc- came slowdr and she dropped to the rear of the line. For a while the riders wheeled along In silence. . Suddenly Micro came iv shriek from the last incmber of the party. "My hat ! My hat ! " was heard In tones that were recognizable as Amelia's in splto ot the desperation in them. "My ban is knocked off ! The trees did it ! " The members of the party were on familiar terms nnd were In a hurry. "Well , get off nnd get It , " said a woman's voice , and the distance between the otheis and-tho desperate Amelia quickly Incieastd. "My hat ! My hat ! " was all that came from her. "My hat is lost ! " There was so much feeling In the words that the riders stopped simultaneously and turned back. Amelia had been left tome distance behind. She was standing be neath a small oak , her hands clasped over her forehead. Her wheel lay where It fell when she dismounted. On n. brunch ot the tree , a llttlo above her , nuns her baa It had been thrown there by' ' the rebound ot the branch which knocked it off.mclla pressed her hands on her head nnd stared nt the rest of the returning party , but sha said nothing. "I'll get It , " offered one of the men of the party. "It's easy enough. " "Oh , don't ; please don't , " answered Arnulla to the astonishment of the party. "Leave It alone. " That aroused the women. "Dut we've got to go on , " ono ot them said sharply. "We've lost ten minutes cl- rcady. Do you want to go without ! it ? " Amelia did not reply and the girl shook the llttlo tree. Down fell the hat , landing on Its crown , Everybody turned tt > look at It and Amelia stared with anxiety. Securely at tached to the front of the band was Amelia's chestnut bang. There was silence for a sec ond. Then the laughter waa unanimous. Amelia alone was tardy In Joining It. She looked at flrst as It she would rather weep ; but thinking bettor of it , she laughed with the others. Then she reached down for the hat before anybody could hand It to her and , turning her back , carefully adjusted it on her head. When she faced the group again her chestnut bang was as becoming as over. "Como along girls , " she said , mounting her wheel. "Thei o's-one thing about lu. If an other tree knocks oft my hat it won't make a bit of difference. " * WHISPERINGS OF THE WHEEL Today promises to bo the banner day of the year In local bicycling circles If the weather man will only furnish the right kind of weather. It Is to be the occasion of a grand reunion of all of the old-time bi cyclists of Omaha , as well as all others who may care to participate. Captain Tom Mlckel of tbo Omaha Wheel club is en gineering the affair , which is to bo In the nature of a run to Sarpy Mills , where dinner will bo served , and the balance of the day will bo devoted to base ball and foot ball games , foot races , etc. A commissary wagon laden with good things to cat and drink will bo sent along ahead early In the morning and when the party arrives they will ilnd a grand epread awaiting them. Bicycle re unions have been annual affairs in Omaha for the last ten years , with the exception ' of the last two , when none have "been held. Mr. Mlckel Is making an effort to revive the j reunions again by holding the ono scheduled for today. Every wheelman In the city | s Invited to attend , regardless of whether ho bo a club member or not. A special invita tion , however , Is extended to the old-timers , which will in all probability bring out such well known ones as "Doc" Connor , Ed Lytle , Perry Badolett , Ed Smith , Len Llvesey , Harry Smith and a number of others equally as well known. The start will bo made from the Omaha Wheel club rooms on j Eighteenth and Douglas streets at 9 a. m. and there will be no scorching , so Captain Mlckel announces. There promises to bo a hot fight In the Nebraska division this fall over the election of division officers , which occurs November IB. There are already two tickets In the Hold and Indications that before the dal'o ot the election arrives there will bo a third one. The two tickets so far decided upon are as follows : W. F. Allen ot Deatrlcc , Neb. , for chief consul. D. J. O'Drlen of Omaha , Neb. , for vice consul. E. 1C. Mllmlne ot Lincoln , Neb. , for secre tary-treasurer. Mr. Hart of Dloomlngton , Neb. , repre sentative. \ A. H. Edmlston of Omaha'Neb. , chief consul. ' * , A , M. Dlako of Lincoln , Neb. , vlco con sul. ' J. F. Nowlean of Omaha , Neb. , secretary- treasurer. A. R , Miller of Omaha , IXcb. , representa tive. tive.Dr. Dr. Allen , who heads the flrst ticket , Is the present efficient secretary-treasurer ol the division and has for some time past been the leading spirit In wheeling circles of Beatrice , where he resides , a city which has as many genuine sportsmen among Its bicycle riders asj any city in the state , and to to recognized as the leader of such e body of men is no small distinction. Mr , O'Drlen , who Is candidate for second place upon Mr. Allen's ticket , Is too well known lu fall city to ceoJ any Introlu"tlon. II elected be will bo the division delegate tc the national Assembly the coming February where ho will doubtless bo recoramendeil for appointment upon the National Racine board of 1809. ' .Mr. Mllmlne , candidate foi secretary-treasurer on the same ticket , li ono of the best known wheelmen In tin state. The Western Cyclist , a local blcycli paper , has thfl following to say of him : "E. K. Mllmlne , one of the old-timers , ; familiar figure at nearly all the meets o Nebraska for years past , who has sold , r < v ' paired , written about and traveled on bl- cycles ever since thefr Introduction. There are few men In the state with his knowledge and experience In the wheel line. At the outbreak ot war ho enlisted In the Second Nebraska bent on annihilating Spaniards ; but elnco no fighting fell to his lot ho has returned home , doffed the habiliments of war and Is ready to serve his fellows In the ways of peace. " Mr. Hart , the candidate for representa tive. Is not eo well known as the other men , but Is a prominent citizen of Dloomlngton , Neb. , which Is a good bicycle town for 1U size. Altogether , the ticket Is a good ono and will undoubtedly be elected. A. R , Ed mlston , the head of the second ticket , was ehlcf consul for the division In 189G , His administration , however , was anything but satisfactory to the members of the division end there Is little or no chance of his being elected again. The men on his ticket are wcU known and popular wheelmen , but they can hardly hope for success with Edmlston at their head. It Is quite clear that the latter wants another trip can as a delegate to the national assembly at the league's ex- ncnso and then would probably want to re sign as he did In IS'JG. Wheel thieves seem to be plying their trade In this city just now with splendid suc cess and eo far none ot them have been caught. Last week Chief Consul O'Drlen had a now wheel stolen from In front of tbo Dos- ton store in broad daylight , whllo yesterday noon Harry Lcroy , a tourist , who Is riding from San Francisco to Now York , left his wheel on the postofllco steps whllo be went Inside to get hla mall and when ho returned found his wheel gone. Mr. O'Brien says an effort la to bo made by the division to In- duce the state legislature to paes a law mak ing blcyclo steailng a felony punishable by Imprisonment In the penitentiary Instead ot petit larceny , as It Is. Bicycles are just as valuable as the ordinary horse used about the city and a man can bo sent to the peni tentiary for the latter , whllo If convicted of stealing a blcyclo ho will only get a short county jalt sentence. A letter to the writer from Eddlo Bald , who was lu St. Louis last week , announces the fact that he will not visit Omaha during the exposition , ns ho at flrst Intended , owing to the fact that his manager , who Is to have charge of his theatrical venture the coming winter , telegraphed him to return to New York at once to commence rehearsing for the "Twig of Laurel , " as ho Is to open his season at Wllkeslmrre , Pa. , the latter part of this month. Ho will play small towns during the flrst month , or until ho has gotten his hand In , when the larger cities will be essayed , He expects to reach Omaha late In December and will spend several days here. Earl Klser has signed to ride against Bald in the "Twig of Laurel" and to act as the champion's understudy. He will travel the winter through , being1 seen only in the race scene , except when ho ap pears at times as a member of the orchestra. Arthur Gardiner Intends remaining in Capo Glrardeau with his manager , John West , who is to train C. W. Miller and other six-day riders there. Eleven hundred dollars in prizes was divided among the twenty men who com peted In the St. Louis meet , October 8 and 9. J , S. Johnson will go Into training at once for skating and will fight for the champion ship on the Ice this winter. There will be no trip by the racing men to the Pacific coast this winter. Major Taylor Intendcs to rldo for records until the Indoor season opens. Fred Titus has abandoned his Idea ot going to Europe this winter. Ho will re main in this country and go Into active training for a star part in the "Dello of Now York" company , In which Edna May , his wife , is the star. Tbo outdoor racing season of 1893 closed with the St. Louis two days' meet , which was held October 15 and 1C. After that the racing men return to their homes and will leave the matter of the control of racing to the track owners and others In terested. FOR LOVERS OF GUN AND ROD I'nrlc CoiiimlHsloiicr Ilate.i nml Ur. \VelJHter Uncli from a Trli > After Ilcur nml the Like. Chairman C. 13. Dates of the park com mission of this city and Dr. D. M. Webster of Council Dluffs returned on last Friday from a hunting trip to the wilds of the far northwest. They were gene flvo weeks and probably would have still been camping on the trait of grizzly bear , mountain goat , moose nnd other big game had not Commls- | KJoner Dates received information of the death of n brother in Princeton , 111. , and has- lened his rclurn to the haunts ot civilization. Mr , Websler did nol care to face tbo wilds himself and came 'back with him. Dear was the particular game after which the brace ot nlmrods set out and they suc ceeded In bagging ono each. Owing to the ' haste of their re'turn they did not bring the I trophies of the chase with them. Tbo skins of the grizzlies are drying out on the moun tain sides , but will bo forwarded to this city in the not very far distant future. De- otdes bear , the two hunters killed a num ber of mountain sheep and a number of small fur animals , such as marten foxes. In addition they caught a variety of trout- mountain , rainbow nnd lake. Tbo two nlmrods camped on a spot that they believed has never been trod by human foot. They left all connection with civiliza tion In the northwestern portion of Montana and with a guldo rode Inland on horseback to the Canadian border. For flvo days they rode over the trails ot wild boosts and through brush that had never been broken by human forms and finally reached the r' ' shores of a lake that has never been named. They ferried across this on a raft and on the other side pitched the camp that was their homo for the following two weeks. They wcro In the very heart of the Ilocky mountains and the peaks under whose shadows they camped sloped Into Canada on the ono sldo and Into the United States on tbo other. The hunters were compelled to { ramp far even from this wild spot In order to get after the game they were after. They climbed for a full day up the mountain sides for above the timber line and Into the region ot per petual enow , and there , among the clefts and rocks , they found the two bears which they shot. They killed a number of moun tain sheep and with this us bait were pre paring to trap some more of the grizzlies when the news of the death of Mr. Dates' brother reach them. The park commissioner is confident that their bag of bear would have been tripled or quadrupled had they been allowed to stay there o week more. The two hunters found themselves in a waste of pinnacles and peaks and rocks. Even when they ehot their game they found difficulty In recovering It For example , they one day killed a mountain sheep upon an opposite mountain side. When struck by the bullet the animal fell hundreds of feet down a mountainside covered with jutting , sharp rocks and when the carcass was found It was battered almost out of recog nizable shape. The couple had excellent fishing right at their camp. They selected a location on the sldo of a mountain stream that ran into the lake. They were able to stand on the bank of the rivulet , cast their line In and ili. toss the captured fish Into their kitchen i. A rulnuto after the trout waa drawn from the water 111 was sizzling over the fire. "I never enjoyed myself BO much In my life.

But the scenery fas magnificent and grand and this to- ether with the Bporu wo had was nmplo ompcnsatlon ( or all our efforts. It was a rlmoval spot , for I do not believe that n Ivlllzcd foot over trod the ground over vhlch wo passed. " The distance that separated the hunters rom civilization was indicated In the dlm- ulty that was met In finding tljem. Ithough the couple had reached vlthln fifty miles of the railroad n their wanderings , the party that was cnt out In pursuit of them as soon ns the news of the death of Mr. Dates' brother vas received was six days in finding them. : ho pursuers could do nothing else than ollow the trail of the nlmrods. When hey were finally overtaken the bunting ex pedition was of course brought to a conclu sion and , leaving their spoils behind them , , ho hunters returned Immediately. Charley Rogers , George Scrlbncr , Charley Metz , Hilly Marsh and Sandy Orlswold loft yesterday for the sandhills In the north- ivestern part ot the state on a duck hunting expedition. The party will inako their icadquartcrs In the Pine RIdge agency They will bo gone some two weeks or more. The warm weather has put a. quietus ipou duck hunting in this section of the country. A good many parties have > cen out after teal and mallard , but have not como back with very heavy bags. The cold snap on one or two of the nights of the past week brought out bomo of the flyers to the south , and a few who had the foresight to be out on the following morning had good success. With this exception , however , the shooting has been poor. Even jacksnlpo seem to ho scarce. Billy Townsend cut out a plcco of glory for himself at the shoot at Onawa last week. Out of a score and more shooters who were entered In the two days' affair , Townsend tied with five in the shoot for a handsome silver cup. The score was eighteen out of twenty. On the shoot-off Townsend won the trophy , being compelled to smash twenty targets straight to do so. The other Omaha hovs who were In attendance were Henry McDonald and Art Klmball nnd both held up their end. C. A. Andrews , a shooter who lives In Mills county , Iowa , across the river from Flattsmouth , was In attendance at the Onawa shoot and on his way bomo stopped at Omaha. Ho lamented the absence of ducks , but believes that there will be plenty about as soon as the weather becomes cooler. Said ho : "It Is necessary that the country up north should bo visited by a storm before wo can expect roany of the birds hereabouts. Just as eoon as a frost visits this section ot the country I bellevo that there will bo plenty of duck shooting. An inkling that thla will bo thus was given Ir.st week , for ono night when it was pretty chilly I had fomo good shooting down around where I live. " R. A. Cudahy and P. J. Burkley returned from a very successful hunting trip to Colorado rado on Tuesday last , having been gone from Omaha less than a week and having thrpo deer nnd sixty ducks to their credit. The deer were killed about forty rqlles from New castle , where they were "crossing over" and where they have been unusually plenti ful this year. The ducks were bagged on the grounds of the Queen City Gun , club about fifteen miles from Denver. The greatest enemy ot game has always been the market hunter , who goes Into a country and practically exterminates every thing that can bo found. The law has been Inadequate to suppress him In Nebraska and as a consequence some kinds ot game have been killed off to a great extent. No species of game has suffered more from these depredations than the pralrls chicken for twd reasons they are easy to get and they usually bring tbo hunter a good price. This year , however , It is different nnd reports from the sections of the state where the birds abount are to the effect that the price of birds is so low that hunters for the 1 market has practically ceased their oper ations. This assures a largo number of breeding birds for next season with every prospect of good shooting for the sportsman t follow. PALAVER OF THE PUGILISTS AVnliter nml Diiiiont to Afford Sonic Sport lU'fore tlic South Oiunlin Club , What promises to bo one of the best fistic encounters that has taken place hereabouts for several moons will bo pulled oft before the South Omaha Athletic club tomorrow night. The principals In this Queensberry affair are to bo'George ' Walker , who has been In this city for some time , and Andy Dupont , a , heavyweight aspirant ot Kansas City. Walker Is a clover fellow and perfectly de signed physicalHe has bt-en in training for months in prospect of a bout and con sequently ought to bo fitter than a flddlo when the gong strikes. Dupont Is a giant In physique and also in good shape. As a consequence both men arc ready for a bat tle and are confident ot winning. Doth are well known to the profession , especially Wal ker , The latter was hero years ago and made something ot a record for himself. Since leaving ho has bepn able to bold off Billy Woods for twenty rounds. Dupont baa also figured agalust some of the upperdom of the arena society , for among his exploits is a thlrty-nlno round encounter with Pete McCoy. Doth men are determined to carry off the big end of the purse that has been put up. Following tno bar room tactics in which tbo honey-tongued McCoy and Pompadour Corbett figured In New York , another blot to the Queensbury escutcheon has bt-eu con- trlbuted by the pair by means ot a pretuy well founded report that the affair was to bo ] nothing but n hlppodrouio. According to the statement of Gray , McCoy's man- ogor , there was n , movement on foot to dl- vldo the purse evenly between the two. This faking could very easily have been accomplished , for both are skillful boxers , with enough skill to deceive even the ex perts. With their sidestepping , jabbing and clever all around hand and foot work they could easily have rushed through a thventy-round Journey , the honors would look oven , the purse would bo split and none would bo the wiser. A draw with McCoy would not have put a black mark against Corbett's reputation and McCoy's stock would bo boomed by standing off the Pompadour. A well trained ro- hcarsal would only have been nec essary to place all the earmarks of sincerity on the bout. These disclosures of dishonesty , the barroom tactics and the chin music symphonies that have clustered about these wouldbo stars of the pugilistic arena are repetitions of the elements which have brought tbo boxing game into disrepute. "If champions such ns McCoy and Corbett will make a pothouse of a highly respectable hostelry , If they prove themselves to bo the rankest of fakirs , what can you expect o { the mlxed-alcrs who resort to slaughter house tactics ? " Is the question that ob trudes itself upon society. Accompanying the answer to'this question Is a suspicion that the present school of knuckle warriors are returning to the old London rule order of things. The natural consequence Is that opposition to glove contests Is gradually in creasing. Slnco this affair has been Indefinitely post poned McCoy and Corbott have picked up other engagements. The Hoosler lias tacked onto Peter Maher , ono of the easy things. Maher ha9 demonstrated already that ho Is hardly made of the mettle that will ever entitle bun to championship laurels. His clean hitting piston punch Is void of the steam that once possessed his right and left. \ tougher proposition , however , confronts Corbett in his match with Sharkey. The Pompadour Is evidently aware of this fact , for ho refused to go a twenty-round Journey with the sailor lad , and the match has been arranged for ten rounds. CHESS.
