The taxing of guns is a question being
agitated by leading sportsmen throughout
the country and the universal opinion seems
to be that it is just the thing to curtail the
W holesale and ruthless slaughter OF our fast
disappearing game birds and animals. The
tax that Is suggested is 10 be anything bat
light one and if the proposition ever be-
comes a law, it will dec innate the ranks of
the wanton market hunters as othing else
possibly could. The pas sage of game laws,
however strong and clearly defined,
has been found to be wholly in
adequate in checking the killing of
game out of season. The constituencies
pot-hunters sets all at defiance and continues
his unlawful pursuit in and out of season
with a recklessness and audacity that is
startling when the severe penalties pre-
scrlbed IN these laws is taken into considera
ton. The go off to out of the way places,
even to the breeding and nesting grounds of
our game birds and slaughter them by the
thousands, shipping them to Chicago and the
eastern markets. A good stout tax on the
gun is the necessary remedy for this class of
shooters, and would go a long way in lessen
ing the destruction of game.

Lille Williams, of this city who went to
England with the Eek bicycle combination
some ten weeks ago, is now making balloon
ascensons and parachute jumps in the prln-
cipal cities on the continent under the name
of Alma Beaumont A Paris correspondent
says of her last ascent and jump:
The balloon was new and not of large
size, and was inflated by means of gas, pipes
being laid for the occasion. The parachute
was constructed of thin silk cloth, hoop being
placed inside, so when the weight of the art
ist dropped from the balloon, thus breaking

A Movement For a Permanent EN-
position There.
The original idea in constructing the Coli
scum building was to utilize it as permanent
exposition. That idea has not been aban-
doned, and recently it was discussed by the
management and number of merchants, re-
ceiving the favorable consideration of the
arrangement, however, it is necessary
or at least desirable, that all in
debtedpess should oe liQuidated. The
cost of constructing the coliseum building
was S47, 500 The authorized capital stock of
the company is $4,000, of which amount
81, 900 has been sold and applied in payment
of construction. OF the remaining indebted
ness $40, 800 was paid from the receipts, eav-
ing Sl5, 900 still due. In order to meet this
obligation the management is now endeavor.

merchants and manufactures of Oma-

provements, such as walling the
wooden structure with brick and supplying
since the Coliseum was opened it has earned
about 30 per cent on the investment, and 1t is
believed that with careful management the
stock can always be made to pay a handsome
dividend. The prospect of disposing of SUM-
cient stock to pay off the indebtedness on
the building appears favorable, among those

Who is TO be the managers of the Omahas

occupying the consideration of the Omaha

the battle is good management, and also that
competent men for the position do not grow

tainty that Frank Selee will not return to
Omaha. If he does he can have the position
without n doubt and at an increased salary
at that He was very dubious himself just
before leaving here about accepting Bos-
toms offer, He was not exactly satisfied
hut what it would De in his interests to con-
tnue another year at the head of a minor
league team, and it would not surprise the
writer to hear of his determination to return
to tic local fold. He would find the manage
ment of the Bostons would necessitate many
qualifications not essential in Omaha. He
mus needs be not only a strict discipinaran,
bat IA man OF rare executive ability and
Lnwavering force, combining with
those talents long business head. The

TO stand at the holm of the Hubs base ball
craft he will be deposed before the expira-
ton of sixty days. He can never manage
the team successfully, However, If ne does
not come back to Omaha, the direct
ors say they must be definitely in

Clarke, said Clarke being now, ana for some
time past 1t member of the Omaha base ball
club of the Western association. a league in

agreement.
The playing of said Clarke is in violation

twenty-thrce (23) of the national agreement

A Hint touhe Minor Bodies.

The makeup of next seasons Western as
sociation is another vexed question. Des
Moines aud 81. Joe are practically shelved,
and two cities must be hustled up to ill their
places Oshkosh, Lincoln, Davenport and
other water-tank towns should be
given but little consideration. De-
trait ana Toledo, McCormlck's choice, would
nicely nil the bill. Detroit is willing but
Toledo is not anxious. The vacancies are
gong to be hard TO I'LL. II the managers ana
supporters of minor base ball organizations
would ever profit by experience
the problem would be easier solved.
A shorter season, an iuyioiable salary
limit, would admit of cities that under the
present regime dare not be taken in. The
most danger as in long season and an ex-
cessive salary limit. Let the Western asso-
ciation begin play on May 10 and wind up
Sept 20, and II will be money In the pockets
OF its promoters. Keep the salary
list commensurate with the attendance Of the
