POULTRY AT INDEPENDENCE.
Annual Exhibition of Feathered Tribe
Begins mt the County
Sent

The Poultry show opened yesterday at
the Mercer building. in Independence. with
LOCO fine birds on exhibition. The number
of fowls exceeded the expectations of the
management as il is far in excess of the
number displayed at the annual exhibition
given a year ago The greatest number of
any one breed on exhibition is that of the
Barred Plymouth Rock. Nearly 600 birds
OF this variety are on exhibition and seem
to be the favorite with poultry fanciers.
This display comprises one section and
many compliments are passed on the fine
showing. The next largest display comes
with the LeShorn variety ard Minorcas.
On the west side of the building are rang
ed the little Seabrights. which attract con-
siderable attention, and vie with the Golden
LeghOrns for admiration. The Spangled
Wyandotte breed had a large crowd around
their coops yesterday almost the entire day
and were also greatly admired. Thu col
lection Is said to be one of the finest ever
brought together in this part of the state.
Houdans, with their topknots. Brahmas
and Cochins, White Leghorns and pigeons.
with a large collection of turkeys. go TO
make up the show. The homing pigeons
and the fantails attract the ladies and chill
dren. while the masculine part of the
audience seemed to favor the great white
and bronze turkeys that stalked in their
| cages in the rear end of the hall. Yester-
day afternoon the management admitted
the school children free and they took adj
vantage of the generosity of the directors.
Theodore Hewes will act as judge of the
birds and the scoring will to-
morrow.

Colonel Connor has a r~ival-Colonel Con.

outdistanced all of his competitors. Posi-

it's up to the colonel:

CLEANING OUT THE H0B0Es.
Fifteen Were Sent to the hOuse
on Monday and Eleven Yester-
day Morning.

There were fifteen commitments to the
workhouse on Monday and eleven yester-
Gay. Nearly all of them were Migrants and
sneak thieves rounded up by the police
during the last three or four days. Since
last Saturday night the police lave made
nearly 800 arrests. Many of the hoboes and
other suspicious characters have been
given from one to five hours to shake the
mud of Kansas City from their sandals
and never return.
The police will keep up the good work
until the town is rid of that element that
is always causing the authorities more or
less trouble. Nearly all of the petty thiev,
to that class of hoboes that wouldn't work
if they could get a situation at a bank pres
ident's salary. Many of them steal during
the winter for no other purpose than to
get into the workhouse or county Jail.
The North end dives furnish nearly all Of
the hoboes that get into police court.

LEGACY FOR Mr.. E E
Prosecutor Lowe Continuing All Cases
Which Indicate ExertiOn
of Any Sort.

Nobody has ever thought of casting upon
Frank Lowe the imputation of being over
Jealous in his conduct of the prosecuting
attorneys office. unless, of course, it was
at a time when he thought he had a chance
to square accounts with the people who
"trun him down." and yet at the same time
few thought that he would attempt to shirk
the work which is palpably his. Mr.. Lowe
is Systematically continuing every case on
the criminal docket which in any way
promises to give himself or his assistants
any work.
Two more murder cases were continued
yesterday. those of William Bradley and
Mike Nuccio. Only the other day he
allowed Tom Clarke, d negro murderer
against whom there was a very clear case.
to plead guilty to murder in the second de-
gree, and another continued case was that
of j. f. and Michael Ross. charged with
assault with intent to kill. These cases
will be tried at the January term. and the
prosecutor-elect. James Reed, will truly re-
ceive a fine legacy from his predecessor.

HIS LIBERTY WAS SHORT.
"Gentlcnan FOrRer" Turner Imme-
dintely Rearrested After Re-
lease on HOnd.

The writ of habeas corpus which was
granted by Judge Shackleford at Jeffer-
son City a few days ago in the case OF
Ralph b. Turner. the gentleman forger,''
and which Turner was unable to answer
because Of a threatened case of pneumonia.
was the cause of his being admitted to
bail yesterday. His liberty was short. how.
ever. for he was Immediately rearrested
on charges made out at the order of Judge
Wofford.
Turner is under sentence of ten years
on two counts of forgery, on which he was
convicted. He was given five years on
each count. and half a dozen other charges
of a similar nature were dismissed. the
state evidently thinking that ten years
were enough for the man. Turner appealed
the cases. During the trial. when Tur>
ner conducted his own defense. and clev-
erly, Judge Wofford allowed very little lati-
tude TO the defense, and was particularly
wroth because Turner succeeded in having
the cases dismissed twice because of tech
meal errors. both of the court and of the
prosecution. In his application for APP
peal. Turner mentioned the action of the
court as grounds for a decision in his IA
vor. and it is probably owing to this fact
that Judge Wofford went out of his way to
see that the gentleman forger'' is kept in
durance vile.
