WEST SIDE PIGEON SHOOT.
Race Between p. j. Hindmarsh and II. s.
Montgomery.

Race Between r. j. Hindmarsh and II. s.
Montgomery.
An interesting live bird match was
shot yesterday afternoon on the grounds
of the West Side Gun club between p. J.
Hindmarsh and IL. S. Montgomery.
The race was at twenty-five birds per
man, under American Shooting associa-
ton rules, and while it was not at all
close, it was rendered exciting by the
swiftness of the birds and high wind,
making the shooting very difficult
When the match began the weather
was very pleasant, but before the first
ten birds were trapped, the sky became
clouded and stiff, raw wind commenced
blowing.
A great many of the birds were sitters,
but when they once started they went
for the boundary line as though they
were trying to break all records.
Mr. Hindmarsh was shooting in ex-
cellent form, killing his frat eleven birds
straight. His twelfth was a corker, and,
though the first shot made it BILE a
feather renovating esta blishment in a cy-
clone, by the aid of the wind it managed
to reach the boundary line and dropped
dead few feet outside. Out of his re-
naming thirteen birds he lost two, the
fifteenth and twenty first. Both were
hard hit, but refused to come to earth.
Dir. hlnQmarSA 6nOL his KemIn gtOn
eiector and used Jesse Elliott's pigeon
loads-3A drains of E. C. powder and
IA ounces of No. soft shot in smoke
less" cases.
MIR. Montgomery did not start off we'll,
losing five birds before Mr.. Hindmarsh
lost any, but he shot an excellent up
hill race, missing but two of his last
fourteen.
A feature of Mr.. Montgomerys shoot
ing is the qulckness with which he fires.
He used an L. Z. smith hammerless
! with the same load as that used by Mr..
Hindmarsh.
Immediately after the match was fin
ished Mr.. Montgomery stepped up TO Mr.
| Hindmarsh and proposed another race
at live birds for $50 side. Mr.. Hind
marsh replied that, while he was conf
dent he could beat any many in Topeka
shooting pigeons, he would rather not
shoot for money. He said that two years
ago he made standing offer to shoot
| against any man in the state at 100 birds
for 500 side, but now he shot only for
/ sport However, Mr. Hindmarsh did not
! positively refuse to make the match, and
| it is not improbable that it will occur
within a week or two. If it comes off
the race will be friendly one, and it is
| agreed there shall be no hard feelings,
regardless of who wins.
Such an event would be of great inter-
est to local sportsmen, and would nc
doubt attract large audience.
The score was as follows:

proves the meagerness Of its
local circulation as COM

NEARLY SCARED TO DEATH.
An Atchison Girl Got Into a Coffin 81 US
for Fun Hut It Didn't Results So.


for Fun ButIt Didn't Results So.
ATCHIsoN, Nov. 2-As a result of
friendly dare given and accepted, and
joke perpetrated with little thought of
the consequences, Miss Jennie Orsted.
an attractive young lady, lies at home in
most pitiable condition.
The other evening young Geo. Mox-
well, who had previously been in the en-
ploy of an undertaken, called upon the
young lady.
During the evening the conversation
between them drifted to the subject of
his gruesome calling. Miss Orsted de-
clared that she would not be afraid to
visit an undertaker's establishment, to
handle shrouds or even to lie down in
coffin; she had no fear of such things.
Moxwell dared her to 20 with him and
put on a shroud and lie down--in coffin.
u dare" she said, lsughingly. and
added, wouldn't l make a handsome
corpse?"
They went to an establishment, which
was only a short distance from her home,
and after cheerfully inspecting the fun
eral trappings of the place, Miss Orsted
slipped white shroud over her dress,
and then gathering her drapery closely
about her lay down in a coffin and folded
her hands across her breast. Noxwell
placed the lid lightly on the coffin, and
then the two young people looked at
each other through the glass in the lid,
conversed gleefully.
The coffin was resting on low truck
standing on an elevator, which com
municated with a morgue aud dissecting
room below. The idea flashed into Mox-
WELLS head to extinguish the cleo
trio lights in the room and send Miss
Orsted below. He touched button, and
darkness! The coffin and its precious
load shot down to the morgue. The
young lady was terribly frightened by
the suddsnness of all this, and she sprang
from her recumbent position and threw
the lid from the coffin, and there, by the
dim light of lamp, she saw before her
on a marble slab the naked, bloated body
of a "foater," which had been fshed
from the river late that afternoon. She
gave an uuearthly skriek, swooned and
sank back into the coffin. When con
sciousness returned Miss Orstead was at
home. Her nerves are completely shat
tered. While it is thought she will fully
recover, great apprehensions are enter
tanned

Closing on Popular Stocks.


New YORK, Nov. at has been ty
pical Saturday market. The industrials
held firm throughout, but the balance of
the list lacked support, and fractional
declines were recorded III most cases. 1t
is conhdentially predicted that the re-
turns of St. Paul for October will be
phenomenal, and that a handsome in
crease will be shown in the gross
returns of c., B. & 0. for last
month. Holders of railroad stocks
are encouraged not to liqui-
date because they have hopes that the
great increase in revenues will continue
for the rest of the year and Indefinitely
beyond There are many conservative
houses, however, who take no interest IN
the market at present range of prices be-
cause they think prices have fully dis
counted these excellent returns and buy
ers must now govern themselves by proba-
bilities of future dividend returns When
the purchasing power in the stock mar
ket shows SO little vitality as at present,
Spectators are apt to scrutiniZe the
manipulation in the industrial group
more closely than ever. Perhaps spec
ulative interest has conferred more
largely upon sugar than any other stock
of this class. The close today was as

SAD STORY OF LOST FORTUNES.

Van Beuthem Ranch. Onco Owned by a
Dutch Noblemar, to be Sold Under Mort
gage.
Usage CITY, Nov. 2.-The tale that
ends next month with the mortgage sale
of the Van Benthem 1890 acre ranch,
is one of riches and happiness, then pow
ertv and death.
In 1870 Mr.. Van Benthem came to
this country with plenty of money. He
was the son of Dutch nobleman, and
had fallen out with his father and came
to America TO become cattle king. He
married a rich wife. 1t is not known how
much they had but they had enough to
buy several sections of land in Usage
county. They had enough so that he
could stand loss of S28,0 on his cat
tie deals the first two years and yet do
business extensively. Van Benthem
bought cattle, fed them, sold them and
lost money.
His wife had an interest in a large
sugar business in the West Indies. this
brought her net income of $4,000 q
year; this amount, too, went into the
busiuesA Van aBsnthem was at his
best when doing for some one. To take
a few friends to Kansas City and treat
them to the best of everything to be had
was his delight, but it was hard on his
fortunes
There was enough to keep the ranch
running for more than a score of years,
but worry and advancing age commenced
to tell on the health of MIR. Van Benthem
and, with his good wife, he went to
northern Michigan, two years ego, for
relief. With his condition somewhat
improved he started for home, but while
on Lake Michigan, before reaching Chi
cagO, he died.
The widow and all the children but
one have now gone back to Holland and
Van Benthsm's body lies buried in the
cemetery at Lyndon.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER
Furnished by Topeka Grain and stock tx
change, 526 Kansas Avenue.
Wheat is again we'll established in the
fifties, and for some days past the mar
ket has shown evidence of inherent
weakness. and vet was easily bulled on a
little war gossip last Thursday. To
a close observer these war ru-
mors have about as little influence
on lasting prices as can possibly
be imagined. The man who buys wheat
on the tail end of an advance caused by
such talk generally holds the bag Look
ing over the news coming in at present
it is surprising that wheat holds up as
we'll as it does. Minneapolis and Duluth
receipts have been largely in excess of
last year and reports indicate continu-
ance of heavy movement. Primary
markets are getting double as much as in
1894. Atlantic coast clearances are small
at little over a million bushels for the
week. Foreigners are not making any
offers, and there is little disposition in
any quarter to buy. There will be an
other big incsease in the visible Monday,
few estimates being placed at less than
two million bushels.
There was scarcely enough business
done today to make a market, and what

Corn and Oats: Quiet and featureless
with quotations few and far between.
A heavy run of new corn is expected to
commence this month, but the price
may not attract shippers on present basis
and it is yet very uncertain as to what
the future may bring forth. The Gin
cinraIi Price Current says:
THE weather has been fine for hand
ling corn, and husking and cribbing
operations have been actively prosecuted
in the west. The low price of grain.
however, has retarded the marketings
and the movement is not enlarging to
any extent, which would be looked for
under inducements of better prices"
Marketing of oats are retarded under the
same conditions.
Provisions-Some strength was shown
in Pork today, but a small amount of
business was transacted. A large move
ment of hogs has been recorded for the
past week. The total packing in the
west reaching about 3600 900 head against
100000 last week and 800 900 same week

Northwestern UnivornIty Cannot Come to

"The best laid plans" etc. Just as the
football enthusiasts of Topeka were in
their seventh heaven of delight over the
proposed game between Northwestern
university of Illinois and K u, which
was to have been played at Athletic park
one week from today, telegram was re-
ceived by Chas. Rogers from the North
western manager stating that, owing to
a confiction of dates, his club could not
come to Topeka ON Nov. 9th, but would
come on Thanksgiving Day. AS K. U,
plays the University of Missouri at Kan
sas City Thanksgiving, there can be no
game arranged between the two great
western teams, to be played at Topeka.
MIR. Rogers teIegraphed Doane col
lege of Nebraska to come here and play
K. T., but the manager refused to come
to the Kansas capital and now the only
game there is any chance of being
played in Topeka this season is one be-
tween the Ottawa and Midland college
teams, and that is not yet assured.
