About The Trap Shoot. The annual state shooting tournament will be held this spring at the fair grounds, under the auspices of John J. Hardin, on the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th of April. Most extensive preparations are being made, and it is confi- dently expected that it will prove the most successful shooting tournament ever held in the state. Mr. Hardin bas already engaged B,0C0 live pigeons, and made all his other ar- rangement on an elaborate scale. Besides the live bird matches, there will be two or three matches in progress throughont each day. The attendance of professionul shots, such as C. W. Budd, the champion of Amer- icn, of Des, Moines, Tn.; J. R. Stice, of Juck- sonville, 111.; W. A, Tuc of Meriden, Conn.; Charlie Williams, of Missouri Val- Jey: the Crubills, Jake and George, of Clar- Joe of St. Louis; Al Brandel, of ud a score of others, will bo' on In addition to these, there will cracks from ' all parts e, and lowa, Missouri and Kansas nt will be the most interesting p meet ever seen in this part of the coun- ry. On the same days of the shooting tour- nament Manager W, G. Ingram will hold his spring beneh show, will course some hound at the fair grounds and give the people a jack rabbit cuase The Coming 1 The prospects for fine duck shooting the coming season in this vicinity aro certainly not of the best. Should the winter continue on to the close in the wild and open manner that has marked its course so far, the birds will come north in small and scattered bunches, and although the shooting season may be one of unusual long duration, the chances for good bags will be few. This is the experience of an old and observant duck shot. Already a few birds have dropped down in the open sloughs and marshes, and they bave been seen flying backward and forward all through the winter, in a few wecks moro the water fowl will abandon their southern habits and start for the north- ern breeding grounds, and all chances for good sport here depended upon a severe cold snap of considerable continuance, an inter- val of cold weather that will hold the birds back until the first of the month, and pre- vent their straggling north in small flocks. ‘There is one consolation to this condition of things, however, and that is, if the birds by the providence of mild weather escape the spring slaughter, it will give ample assur- ance of supere llent shooting in the full, INGRAM'S COMING BENCH SHOW. Prospects for a Magnificent Exhibi- tion, The dog show to be given in this city upon April 16, 17, 18 and 19, by Manager W. G. Tugraw, in connection with the state shoot- ing tournament, will undoubtedly be the finest bench show ever given west of Chi- cago. Of course the dog show will be given in the city, and the shooting tourna- ment @t the fair grounds. The object laing the two events simultaneously is e the sportsmen who come here to try their luck at the trap an opportunity to show their dogs, and the list of entries from this source will be very large. Mr. Ingram says the sportsmen will bring all the way from A1ty 10 sixty dogs, and from the letters he assured him of their sport, probably return to Omaha 1if not se cannot well fail of b Ingram says ther nany fine in this' city, both spc and “orua- mental, and that foreign entries will have no walk-over. He has received numerous com- plaints from citizens who did not witness the last show, and has been urged to give this one at this early spring date, All the fine stock in the city will be on the bench this time, e has every assurance, and @ large number of fine puppics will be shown for sale. Ingram asserts that, next to the horse, the dog 18 tho most. PORUIAT pob oF Suas, woman or child.

Reports from St. Paul say that the team up there is in excellent trim. Their old players are all under reserve, and they have not been compelled to put up much advance money. 1t is well known,of course, that Earle and Duryea have been sold, and it 18' quite likely they will dispose of several more of their last season’s star Reilly, Sowders, Pickett and Morrisey ha all sig hed after all their bluster ting the diamond unless they rec price.

The Minneapolis Team, Manager Sam Morton, of the Minnies, has already signed eleven of the fourteen men with whom he expects to begin the season. On Thursday last he signed an old Omala P in the person of “Duke” Juntzen, also Tom P of the Princeton colloge nine as first base, Milt West as right flelder, and coutidently expects to secure )nlldu: Sprague the coming week. Morton claims that the qualified articles of the National agreement will not permit Cleveland to hold Sprague, but the case may not be ultimately decided until March, Hendershott, who {Hl\.hul for Lafayette, Iund., last year, and dyrnes, & young Cleveland pitcher, have likewise been taken into the fold by Minne- apolis, All that is needed now to complete the team is a third basema; Questions and Auswers.

Pursuing his investizations into cascs of puplic relief a BEE reporter made a call on Mrs. Studdon. If you are anxious to for yourself walk out on the new bridge as far as the toll house on the Omaha side, turn your face due north, let your eyes rest on the center of the block be- tween Douglas and Dodge, and down in adeep hole you will discover a three- roomed shanty. Mrs. Studdon squatted on that spot twenty y ago, and judging from the way she talks she is sqatting there still, The road to the houss down a rf pair of stairs, and then across a more rickety sidewalk guarded by handrails, Ior years Mrs, Studdon has hived there alont with nocompanion save a daugh- ter who is an idiotic imbecile, THeg BEE man and his guide were met at the door by Mrs., Studdon and ushered into the kitchen to *‘get a taste of the fire.” On a low stool by the stove sut a young girl, twenty-two years old, whose vacant s which “soon changed to an idiotic grin, told the story. Born an imbecite and still an imbecile. Iverything about the housc was neat and clean save the girl, H face was dirty, and she was enjoying her favorite sport, fishing through the ashes of the stove, Our call had inter- rupted her mother in her preparations to administer to the girl her daily ablu- tion. Mrs. Studdon, although well along in years, is still lithe and active, and if left to herself, with no one to look after, would be able to make her own way through the world. But who takes care of Mrs, Studdon and her imbecile daughter? Douglas county. County ‘\gent Mahoney endeavored to conv her that the best thing (ORI girl would be to send her to one of the state insane asylums where she would receive professional care and treatment. The argumenswas hot and spirited, but Mrs, Studdon refused to be convinced, In fact, Mrs, Studdon has her mind made up to remain conviction proof. She argued a mother’s love and & mother’s care, She indulged in noble sen timents, But there is a practical side to the case. Douglas county pays heavily in state taxes tor the maintenance of institu- tions that care for unfortunates like Mrs. Studdon’s duugnwr. Douglas county also maintains an expensive poor farm and home for indigents, At the same time the taxpayers contribute to- wards the support of Mrs, Studdon and her daughter, That they do s0 15 evi- seo the places a counterpiu asmuch dirt is visiblo, and just as many dirty children greet you. ‘The opening in the roof to admit of the stove pipe chimney passing through is eut rathe r large, and the snow was beating down on the stove lids.
