of its pledges. In the north pledges
meant something. and pledges Of demo-

FOOTBALL AT WELLINGTON.

ed the representative team of that place.
The game was called at o'clock; yelling
ton won the toss and chose the ball The
academy chose the west goal At the end
of the first half the score was Wellington
s, Lewis academy s.
During the second half the academy
failed to score. The Wellingtons' increas-
ed their score to IS.
The team work of the academy was
superior to that of the Wellingtons'
although the Wellingtons' were heavier
by fully % pounds. The features of the
game was the steadiness with which the
academy team played, the com bination
pass by Root, Nolder and Mckinnon, the
long runs by Nolder of the academy and
Lad Palmer of the Wellingtons. Lai Pal
mer played an excellent game af full-back
for the Weliingtons, without whom they
surely would have been defeateds A not
able fact is that no one was injured during
the progress OF the game. The academy
boys, with smiles on their faces, returned,
being much pleased with the excellent
manner in which they were entertained by
the Wellington team.

THE POULTRY Snow.
What has Been Done to Brin. About
Il Good Exhibition.

The poultry show to be held in Wichita
the last four days of this month is already
being looked forward to by the chicken
fanciers of the city with great interest. as
most encouraging letters have been re-
ceived from all the surrounding counties
showing that breeders at Newton, Hutch
inson, Winfield, Wellington, Anthony
HazeIton and other cities will be present
with collections of fine birds.
The raising of fancy poultry has not
only grown to be large and profitable
business but has become quite a fad
with many persons who follow
it for pleasure as well as
profit. The business was started in the
New England states as early as 1856 and
has gradually worked west but it is only
within the past three years tina. it has
attracted much attention west of the
Mississippi river. The first poultry asso.
citation of Kansas was organized three
years ago and its first annual
show was at Wichita early in December
1889. Owing to lack of proper encour-
agement il was moved to Topeka where it
has been held ever since.
The southern Kansas fanciers made an
effort to regain their lost prestige and
formed the Southern Kansas Poultry
Association" The first meeting of the
new association was held at Wellington
in 1890. After which it was moved to
Wichita. The show here last year was a
grand success and even that promises to be
surpassed by the exhibition to be held this
month

AN UNFORTUNATE NEGRO.

Joseph Hicks arrived at the public sta
ton yesterday morning with his feet
badly frozen. Hicks is a colored man well
along in years and his home is in Topeka.
When the rush to the territory came on
last spring he went with the crowd, taking
with him money sufficient for his neces-
ssry expenses and expected to get claim,
but 1t appears he lost his claim and money
too. Some smart niggers" who came
in there from Arkansas with their clubs,
bureaus, associations and such to protect
the negro, protected the old gentleman so
well that they got all his money and beat
him out of his claim.
Finding himself out of money and with
no chance of employment, be started to
walk from Kinghsher TO Topeka. He was
getting on all right when the storm OF
last week struck him. He managed 10
keep going until Thursday night when, as
he says, he stopped at section house and
asked the r~.vilege of warming himself,
which was ..enled him. He kept GU walk
ing and with his frozen feet aud Ill health,
brought on by the cold, was in pitiable
condition when he reached Wichita.
Chief Burrows gave him all the relief he
could, purchased him a ticket TO Topeka
aud sent him in a cab to the depot, where
be took train Tor home.

OUGHT To BE PROSECUTED,

There are some fellows almost daily seen
upon streets of Wichita with wagon loads
of fish who ought to be vigorously prose
cuted. Ii is certain that they use either
dynamite, seius or traps of some character
to take the fish, which consist largely OF
black bass and croppie, two species of
game fish with which our streams were
stocked by government at no little ex-
peuse. There probably would be little or
no objection to violation of the law if
carp, cat, buffalo and the like were only
taken, but some steps should be taken by
the prosecuting attorney or by some So
ciety to put stop TO this wholesale rob-
berry of our streams of game fishes. At
one time, in the early history of the town,
the Little river was alive with jack sal
mon. There is not one left. They were
illegally taken by fellows too indolent, and
shiftless to make an honest living. The
law is emf orced as TO game birds and should
be as to game fishes
