hard work. You can easily imagine how
your back would feel after you had done
that sort of work at intervals of half an
hour all day long
When the dredge comes to the top Of
the rail, it is dragged inboard. and
everything which it has accumulated is
dumped on the deck. All sorts of queer
sea products are brought up, but for tho
most part the load consists of oysters
and oyster shells. Then the crew set to
work to throw the rubbish overheard
and sort the oysters. This work is called
''culling. +" With a small hammer the
men knock the punches of oysters apart,
remove the dead shells and the small
oysters and throw the good oysters into
bughel baskets. When a basket is filed,
it Is dumped into the hold, and count is
kept by throwing ono oyster for each
basket into a little pile by itself The
refuse is promptly thrown overheard,
for it is unlawful to dump shells any
where but on the oyster beds.
Meanwhile the dredge has been
thrown overheard again, and by the
time the proceeds Of the first haul have
been culled it is time for all hands to
jump to the winder again. This process
is continued all day long or until the
captain decides that he has secured a
load. Then he shakes the reefs out Of
his sails and squares away for Balti-
more, piling on every inch of canvas
that he has at his disposal, for he wants
to beat some other bug eye in the race
home.
This is the manner in which our oys-
tiers are brought to Us. The Chesapeake
oysterman is taken as an example be-
cause he is perhaps the most numerous,
for Maryland furnishes one-third Of all
the oysters Of the world, but the methods
employed on other oyster beds are sim
liar. In the great South bay, on the
Long Island coast, whence come the
famous Blue Points, the Rockaways
and other famous varieties, there are
great oyster farms controlled by rich
companies which use steam tugs instead
Of sailing boats, but the dredges are
practically the same as those used on
the bug eyes. Then there are the tong
ers. A longer is an oysterman who goes
out alone in small boat and fishes up
his oysters by means of a double handled
rake. The handles Of these rakes are
from 90 to 25 feet long, and it takes a
strong man to work one Of them.
Probably no two epicures will agree
as to which variety of oyster has the
best 6avc<. Your congressman ill most
likely insist that nothing finer than
steamed Virginia Lynn Havens was ever
tasted by man, while the Philadelphia
will tu7n up his nose at Lynn Ravens
and declare that Shrewsbury river oys-

in the sea. The New Yorker is likely to

Lawrence, Nov. 9-Kansas IS; Ne
braska 4. This tells the tale of how the
Kansas university football eleven de
feated Nebraska at Lawrence in one of
the hardest games of the year
Kansas university was in fairly good
condition, even though several of the
players still bore bad bruises from the
games at Iowa and the Kansas City
Aedics. One of the great improvements
noticed in Kansas university was its
excellent team work, and the Nebraska
line was hammered to pieces. The Ne
braskans were not in it at all, with the
exception Of one time, when they punt
ed to the Kansas goal line, and regain
ing the ball, showed the pig-skin over
for their only touchdown. They failed
to kick goal
Every player on the Kansas eleven
did brllnant work, as is shown by the
fact that the ball was in Nebraska S
territory nearly all of the time, and
when Nebra ska did get the ball she
could make no gains except by punting-
Both teams did considerable FUN bling
Captain Hamiu was q tower of strength
for Kansas, and his enthusiasm in get
ting the team into play won the game.
Mosse, Walker and Whitney did fine
work. Whitney played the best end
game for Kansas university of this sea-
son Baine at half back created terror
in the ranks of the Nebraskans, as his
plays were always for big gains. He
made the longest run of the day, when
he carried the pig-skin 55 yards for the
second touchdown for Kansas univer-
sity.
For Nebraska, Packard at full back,
did the best work and Jones and Wig
gins were strong at the ends. Shedd
and Cook at half and Thorpe at quar-
ter, made good plays. Nebraska would
have done better but for bad fumbles,
and having most Of her punts blocked,
Kansas university went through the
Nebraska line at will, Hamin and F'itz-
patrick making holes large enough for
a wagon to go through.

A New Clerk Of the Court to
Succeed Mr.. Brown.
BRIGHT RECORD MADE
By Clerk Brown of Which He
May Be Proud.
But Party Exigencies UnfOr-
tunately Do Not Recognize
Experience and Ability as They
Ought To.

One of the best Offices in the state
will go to q Populist as soon as the new
chief justice is installed in Office 1t is
the Office of clerk of the supreme court
The clerk holds his office at the pleas
ure Of the justices Of the court and is
paid in the fees that he collects for the
work done He has to furnish mis- own
clerks and assistants. The present in
cumbent is @. g. Brown VINO has held
the position for number Of years
Mr.. Brown is one of the ablest and
most conscientious officials that has ev-
er occupied position in Kansas; he is
2 hard worker ana by all rights Of
civil service ought to be retained but
the civil service idea has not progressed
as far among the people as it ought
and some day viii.
All sorts OF rumOrS as to the value OF
the Office are in circulation 1t does not
pay nearly so well at the present time
as it did before the appellate court was
established as more than half of the
cases that are appealed from the dis
trict court now so to the appellate
court instead Of the supreme court. The
Office is probably worth $4,000 a year
under the fee system. 1t IS said that
the legislature this year VIII be asked
by the administration to pass a law
fixing a salary for the clerk of the su-
preme court and make him turn in all
fees collected to the state This would
affect the desira bility Of the Office to
great extent.
So far as heard from there are only
two candidates announced for the DO
sition. One is Frank c. Johnson Of
Smith county and the other is Judge
George W. Clark of this city, at pres
ent Judge of the court of appeals.
Judge Clark's term expires in January.
Judge Clark was a candidate for the
nomination for chief justice before the
Abilene convention. Tt is quite prOba-
bic that Clark can secure the appoint
lnent if he enters the race for the place
as he stands nigh with his party and is
one Of the best political managers they
have.
