At least 2,000 birds, the property of 127 exhibitors, are on display. 1 doubt if there are any better birds in the world than can be seen hero; certalnly it Is the greatest chicken sbow ever held in the west. Chicken fan- clers can have no conception of“the real worth of the display until they come and see it, while to those who know nothing ot chicken breeding and the wonderful strides made by breeders the show is a revelation. 1 cannot imagine a person who could mot derive both pleasure and benmefit from a visit to the exhibit. The doors are open at nights until small admission fee of 10 cents covers the entire expense. lLincoln people who have missed this anmual exhibit in past years should not let the present opportunity pass.

FLEMONT, Neb., Jan. 21.—(Speclal)— In the district court this morning the libel suit of N. S. Short against Hammond | Bros., proprictors of the Tribune, was re- | portad settled and stricken from the docket. | The case grew ocut of an article published in that paper last May. The Tribune to- night publishes a long article entirely vin- dicating Mr. Short and stating in sub- stance that after a thorough investigation of the matter by the defendants and their attorneys it wai had absolutely no foundation in fact; that it was started by some one maliciously and finully reached a reporter, who wrote It up and it was published without their knowl- edge. The case was set for trial this morn- ing and when Mr. Short arrived here to attend the trial he was notified of their conclusions, and as he was not bringing the action for the money he could get out of it, but to vindicate himself, a satisfactory set- tlement was soon reached, which was per- fectly agreeable to the plaintiff. It ig un- derstood that defendants pay all costs and expenses incurred by Mr. Short, including his attorney fees and a liberal sum for his time and trouble, aside from publishing the vindication. The case attracted & great deal of cttention here as Mr. Short is an old and well known resident of the city and the young woman prominent in social circles. | i Boy May Not Get Prize.

He was notified by the company that he hod made the second nearest guess, which en- titled him to the $2,600 cash prize. Since then the company now writes that although he made the next nearest guess, that he did Inot send In the right kind of wrappers. Young Taylor fulfliled every requirement and his many friends wonder If the offering of prizes by the company is conducted hon- orably, or whether because he is a small boy and lives in the west they can get out of awarding him the prize.
