AMONG THE TRICGER ARTISTS Winons and Frank Show They Osn Work Off as Wall as on Stage. THEY APPEAR AT OMAHA RIFLE CLUB Also Participate in Live Bird Shoot at Omaha Gun C1 Make Remarkably Good Scoren. Winona and Frank, the trigger artists who have been at the Orpheum during last week, were the sensation of the week with Omaha shooters. Thursday and Friday were turned into little gun carnivals for the en- tertainment of thtse firearms experis, and the palr proved beyond a doubt that they can shoot off the stage as well as on and perform feats in the open that are really more remarkable than those done behind the footlights. Thursday night Winona and Frank were fnvited down to the regular weekly shoot of the Omaha Rifle club, at the range be- Jow Townsend's gun store. They gave a preliminary exhibition there and with 22 caliber rifies accomplished most anything. Winona, for instance, the woman of the pair, shot sixteen straight bulls-eyes af sixty feet in just five seconds. Marlin repeater, using 22 shorts sixteen times with one loading. The bulls-eye was balf an inch in diameter, the regulation size for the distance. Later the club held its shoot and Frank and Winona partici- pated, putting the Omahans to shame by their performance. A big crowd was pres- ent at the range to see all this done, and there were shotgun devotees there as well as rifiemen. At e Bird Shoot. The scatter men wanted to see what the stage artists,could do in their line, 5o they arranged a live bird shool for Friday aft- ernoon. This was held at the Omaha Gun club grounds acrose the river. There were two races of ten live birds each. Winona Xilled nine birds in each, Frank eight each time. Winona meanwhile gave sidelight rifie extibitions, pulling down the pigeons that were crippled but got out of grounds. At 110 yards with her 22-calfber she killed them repeatedly as they fluttered on the ground. One time a bird landed on the fence and clung there. The distance by actual measurement was 110 yards. Wi- nona put four shots out of five in the bird Defore it fell off. Then the gunners threw up clay pigeons for her and she would break them us fast as one man could throw them up.

J. Daly, next The race was run over a sloppy track and in a heavy rain, but the footing was com- paratively firm. Despite the unpleasant weather one of the largest crowds of the season gathered to witness the western classic, and the general impression was that if fine weather had prevailed all records for attendance would have been broken. Nineteen horses went to the post for the big races, with Nones and the Morris pair, Cunard and Durazzo, second choices. El- lott was next in demand at 8 to 1, while 20 to 1 was quoted against Horton After a delay of but nine minutes Jake | Holtman sent the big fleld away to a fine start, with Eonic snowing In front. Pass- ing the stand Yellowtail was showing the way, with Eonic and Elliott next. When the half was reached Yellowtail was still showing ‘he way and Claude had moved into second place. Eonic and Cunard were close up and Nones in about eighth place. Elliott had dropped. There was not much change at the three-quarters, but at the head of the stretch it appeared as if Cu- nard would win. C. Kelly, aowever, moved up with Horton, and the chestnut horse, re- sponding gamely, made one of his greatest runs. He caught Cunard the last furlon; and won with eomething to spare by a length and a half, the Daly horse a half a length away.

The Hon. Patrick Sheedy, citizen of the world. gave to the public a few chunks of wisdom out of his wide experignce the other day in his sun parlor in the Sturte- vant house, reports the New York Sun. The subject of Mr. Sheedy's discourse was money, the hardships of not having it and the difficulty of gettfog it in these days when the folks who have it take as few chances as possible of losing it. “I can tell whether a man has money or not just by looking at him,” sald Mr. Sheedy. ““You see a lot of fellows out there on Broadway laughing and having a real good time. The chances are therg isn't a dollar in the crowd. If a man had money he wouldn't be with the crowd. He'd prob- ably be afrald of one of them tryln' to touch him. Why, in these days if a man has money, he won't even laugh at a good story. . He's afraid that if he's too genial you may spring a borrow proposition on him." And Mr. Sheedy sighed. “Talkin' of chances,” said he, “I'll tell you a true story | of the old times that are different from these. Down at Sheepshead Bay there was a bookmaker that had a horse running. The race was on and it, looked a cinch for the nag. At the half it was second and eatch ing up to a lighter-weighted horse that wa: leading. ““Jack,’ sald the bookmaker to & pal in hard luck that stood by him, ‘I bet you $1,000 to a dollar that my horse wins.’ “‘Yes, you will’ sald his pal. ‘You know I haven't any money, an’ that's the raison y're bluffin'.! “‘Well,’ answered the bookmaker, bet you $1,000 to a pin.’ “The other fellow looked at his coat lapel and he didn't even have a pin. Then he happened to glance down on the ground and picked up what looked Itke & pin. In & flash they made the bet. I was stake- holder. “Well, the horse in front managed to stagger In just in front of the bookmaker's horse. I was just about to pay over the Toney when the bookmaker looked at what we thought was the pin, and he said: *‘Wait; that's not a pin. It'®a needle.’ Ani it was. “Say,” remarked Mr. Sheedy, “that w: the closest bet I ever saw. It was just a case of winnin’ or losing by a head, or an eye, Just as you choose to put it." HUGE CROP OF TOMATOES Twice as Many Millions of Cases Canned Last Year T! Year Before. ‘™ Such a demand for canned tomatoes has arisgn that more than double the quantity put up last year has been packed in the last few months. There have been canned for consumption between now and next eummer 9,494,812 cases of tomatoes, or more than 200,000,000 tins, a case containing two dozen {ins of tomatoes. Last year the packers only put up 4,518,221 ¢ The American Grocer, which has been col- jlecting figures on this enormous tomato pack, attributes it in part to the fact that in the three preceding years the amount of tomatoes put up was short of the require- ments. The result was that, for the first | time in a quarter of a eentury or mors stocks were completely cxhausted. leaving the market in Canada as well as in the United States so bare that it forced an early start this year on the pack, which went into consumption as fast as it was available. This put a premium on canned tomatoes, Every factory has been worked to its max- imym capacity and in spite of an irregular crop—New , York's, owing to the wet weather, being almost a total fatlure—the production is beyond the usual requirements and there is a hope of saving a small sup- ply for mext year in case the crop should | | be poor. Maryland has canned the most tomatoes, putting up 4,614,282 cases against 1,750,000 last year. Nebraska was the least produc- | tive state. It bas suprlied only 3,352 cases, | Authorities on the tomato market say | that the unusual high purchasing power of | the people, due to the general prosperity, | bas created an enormous demand for pre- pared foods, and in spite of the higher cost | of tomatoes, the demand Is urgent and in- | cessant. So, in spite of (he increased pro- | duction, it is not likely that canned toma- toes will_be any cheaper than usual. “JUST- LIKE MOTHER MADE” A Wall Ratsed Pork, digestion in Its Bones." | | The things that mother used to make, | says a writer in the Atlantic, are’ still in | { the world.

To show what in- Justice is being done the Indlans they have made public the following appeal from Chief White Ghost for protection for his tribesmen against the frauds perpetrated on the Crow Creek agency in South Dakota with the connivance of the agent there. Chie? White Ghost's Appeal. CROW CREEK AGENCY, Crow Creek, §_D.—Friends: Let me relafe a few of the ifoubles to which my people are doomed. I have dealt with many Indlan agents— some good and some bad. The good ones bulld up and the bad ones tear down, and the Indian has o suffer. The present agent, H. D. Chamberlaln doek not help us, but he hifders and mak us_worse by being Inconipetent, mism: aging our affairs and diehonest. Since he became our agent he has falled to control the Indians and does not enforce the regu- iatlons and laws of the reservation, but encouraged dancing and allowed obsolete Indian games and gambling to revive, 5o that our young men lose thelr money they get for working. He took us a number of Uimes last spring and eummer to the town of Chamberlain (8. D.) for the purpose of exhibiting my people at the Sunday e cursion, for he ‘had the Indians to dane for the excursionists. And more, he al- lows more wandering and going away from home than it has been done for many years past. He permits the Indlan trader and Other men to bring many thousand cattie into and overun our reservation for grazing and money making speculation, and will not adjust damages done {6 the Indians' crops by these cattle, and will not have them taken away. These white men leased here and there & quarter section of allotted land, then on the strength of that they would turn thelr cattle loose upon the re ervation, and our Indian agent protec them, and our complaints were not heeded by him. He allows and encourages abl bodled Indlar men to lease their hom steads to these cattlemen, and in this way Qdestroys homes that should be improved.

Feb. 7.—Among the pas sengers salling today on the kteamship Bhicher s Dr. puls Kiopschs wh o will visit the fam! stricken previnces Li Finland, Lapland 1 Sweden, in the interest of the Christian ilerald relief fund. A third re- mittance of $10,000 has been cabled to the central rellef committce at Helsingfors and 25,000 to the Swedish famine comm on, Stockholm, fot the relief of suffering Bwedes, making a fotai of 30,000 thus far cabled for the famine fund. w He let white men winter their cattle last winter on the reservation on unleased and tribal lands, and let the beef contractor keep the key to the government corral, where the isaue beef cattle were supposed 1o be kept over night for shrinkage. thus allowing him to run them in In the morning aiter feeding and watering them, just bes fore slaughtering, and on last. {ssue poor and discased cattle were killed Issued to the old Indlans and the for the children to eat. The cattle had had sores on them, and the old women wia 1d not have the heads of some of them they were so bad. He helps the Indian trader 1o keep up his stock from govern- ment supplles, and in other ways assists iim in money making schemes. even h ing back and retaining annuily or interest payment checks for the Indlan trader, and persecuting and threatening punishment to Phdlans who complain against said Indian trader. This agent bought horses for government use from the Indian trader and permitted | them to be kept in the government barn and fed at government expense before ac- cepting them fok several weeks and most of them were unsound and unfit for use. He uses and does away with government suppliies and represents them as being ex- pended as they were intended. He favors Pia’ Thdlans by appointing them to Lo tions, apparently for pereonal reasons. One ) people freed from man, & bad Indian, whom he wanted to send to the insane asylim last winter and whom he often said ought to be dead, was Dot long after appointed as Jur judge. He appoints Incapable, old and crippled white men and unfit boys to positions in the school and at the agency. He does not no- tice the fact that the Indian trader em- ployed many white men In his store as herders upon the reservation, which posi- tion the Indlan should have, as stated in his license. Many of his herders are very undesirable white young men, who ran after our women, Countenancing Immoral P He protects and allows immoral charac- | ers (whites) and prostitutes to stay on the reservation and to molest our women and to corrupt our young men. and will not send them away when told about them. But he accuses good people of immoral practices and tries to get rid of them on these grounds. He makes all these bad people his friends because they try to help im cover up wrong actions on his part He also keeps whisky at his house in a good supply so Indians have gotten it and been drunk, and he will not punish white | men and an elghth-breea indlan woman because these people are his friends and in- volved in many of his doings, although they have given whisky to Indlans, When our school opened nearly half of our children were away with their parents and many children are not yet fn the school, although it has been opened nearly two months. Many children are not sent to school because our agent will not order themn to go. An Indian inspector was here several weeks ago with a stenographer, took down most of these things against the agent In writing and sent them to the Great Father more than two monhs ago, and still this man is permitted to stay and continue his work. I am getting old and have waited long, and I hope before I die to see my the hands of incompe- fent and dishonest Indian agents. My good friends, government sometimes makes more fuss about the length of my fast diminish- ing halr, but as I have tried to be honest with thém, I pray that they will treat me in thé same manner. Will the good friends all over the country not help us to get free and keep free from this kind of men? Our spirits are hungry for good, men to help us Our young men go away to school and are helped, but they come back to be made tools ot by bad men. Your friend, His CHIEF WHITE X GHOST. Mark.

GIVE THE BOYS A SHOW. Opportunitie for Bashf Valentine parties will be popular as long as hearts are young and heels respond to music, and in planning the social evening for ber family of half-grown children, it 1s @ wise mother who counts upon the assist- ance of her boys. The capabilities of boys in this line aro scldom appreciated. A girl is instructed in the proper way of recelving guests and looking after tkeir entertalnment, while the average boy in the average family is duly informed as to clean collars, new ties and other toflet accessories, and then lef: to his own device 'f the mother would only try the lad she would find him taking to the duties of host like a young duck to water. A boy likes to feel important, and being the host in reality as well as on the face of the in- vitation, fills him with & sense of Import- ance, to which he instantly rises. As a cure for bashfulness, the responsibility of looking after the comfort and pleasure of others works like a charm. A girl, espe. clally after she passes a certaln age, is apt to steal off in a corner with her best friends and leave less favored guests to their own devices. A boy is more broad-minded than his sister, and unhampered by furbelows and those violent lntimacies of girlhood, di. vides his attentions more evenly Host a Cure urderer Lynched. —Lee Hall, colored, who shot and mortally wounded Sheriff Crawford on Wednesday, taken from Jall at Wrightsville today and lynchetl DUBLIN, Ga., Feb. MOVE OF SULTAN IS UNWISE Other Powers Taking Steps to Btop Mobilisation of Army. SLAUGHTER OF CHRISTIANS IS FEARED | Soldters to Be Brought Into Macedonia Are Semi-Barbarous a: tremely Hostlle to People of that Country. PARIS, Feb. 7.—Offclal advices have been received here confirming the report that the ultan of Turkey has ordered the immed:- ate mobilization of 240,000 troops for & military demonstration in Macedonia. The step taken is regarded with appre- hension by the French officials as being likely to involve complications ~between Turkey and Russia and Austria. It is said that the Russian and Austrian governmnets have agreed upon a formal note tg the sultan, which will be presented within' the next few days, insisting on ad- ministrative and official reforms in Mace- donfa. Although Franco will not be a party to the note, it will approve of it. It is considered that the sultan’s mobil: fzation of such an army is clearly an ef- fort to forestall the presentation of this note. Mobllization of so many troops is regarded here as unwise and dangerous, es- pecially as it is said that the soldiers who are to be brought into Macedonia from As)- atic Turkey are semi-barbarous levies and are hostile to Christians, which will tend to inaugurate another series of massacres. It is understood the powers are exchang- ing views as to the course to be pursued toward the mobilization of the Turkish troops. Prices May Be Excessive, MANILA, Feb. 7.—Governor Taft and Archbishop Guidi, the papal delegate, will resume on Monday the friar lands negotia- tions, which were interrupted for the pur pose of gathering data concerning the e timgtes. It Is anticipated that the prices asked by outside parties having equities in the friar lands will prove excessive. Neither the outsiders nor the members of the religlous orders have as yet formally submitted their figure Duel s to Be Fought. PARIS, Feb. 7.—Deputy Lasies, anti- semite, has sent his seconds to Deputy Selle, soclalist, as a result of a fight today in the corridor of the Chamber of Deputies. The affair began when M. Selle applied an epithet to M. Lasies because of the latter's political speech. M. Lasles responded that they would settle the matter elsewhere, and M. Selle struck M. Lasies a blow in the face. Other deputies then separated the combatants. N (1 7” Prevents and breaks up Colds and
