FOR LOVERS OF GUN AND ROD
Fish and Game Protective Associn-
ton Holds n Meeting aud Takes
a Glance mt Its Affairs.

The Fish Protective association Of Doug
las county held a meeting at the home OF
Mr.. krug, SIS South Twentieth street, last
evening for the purpose of considering plans
for the coming year. 1t was decided 10 push
the case now pending against Frank Brown
and Carl Bruner, who were bound over to
the district court on the charge OF fishing
with a seine. The trial is expected to occur
some time during the next term OF court.
Not only will 1t be prosecuted, but the mem
bers decided to offer a liberal reward to
anyone who will cause the arrest and con-
viction Of any person who violates the law.
The association feels that In this it should
be assisted by all persons Interested In pro-
tecting the inhabitants OF the lakes and
ponds from being slaughtered by SEEMING.
During the last season more good fishing
was done at the lake than any previous
year and the association feels tina this fact
Is due to the efforts OF its members. They
maintained a strict surveillance over the
lake last summer and persons who were in
the habit of SEEMING there found it hard to
do so without the wardens catching them at
1t. The members propose to make the power
Of the association felt next year also and
ask that all who enjoy the sport will join
them in their efforts for protection Of the
fish.
The finances Of the association received
particular attention and the members found
that a surplus would be left in the treasury
after all the Indebtedness had been paid.
The association is a fixture and the menu
bers feel that 1t Is entitled to support. The
first meeting in 1899 will be held some time
between January Is and 20. At that meeting
plans will be perfected for the work to be
prosecuted during the year.

LECTURES on VICTOR HUGO
Professor De KOlty Gives an Enter.
tanning Discourse on the Great
French D~rRmatist.

"Victor Hugo" was the subject of a lecture
which filled Library hall last evening with
a gathering of men and women who are in
terested in French literature. The lecturer
was Prof. Jean C. De Kolty, and his enter
tanning discourse on the eminent French
dramatist and his works merited and re-
ceived the rapt attention Of his hearers.
Prof. De Kolty made of his subject three
divisions. One treated of Hugo's p~oetical
works, the second of his prose creations and
the final part was a brief biography Of the
poets life.
Poetry is the form of language which
best gives answer to the inexpressible long
ing Of the heart" was the lecturers deini-
ton. He continued: Some one has said,
What Is too stupid to be said is put in
song.' and we may add, what Is too elevated.
too abstract, too materially deep to be ex-
pressed In any sensible language we put in
poetry.
More meaning can be conveyed in the
sound Of a word than by any definite logical
expression and Victor Hugo has more nearly
realized the mission OF words than any other
writer. On this truth is based his claim to
immortality. Like other true poets. he Is
guided more by intuition than by reasoning
and intuition is the combined experience Of
centuries. Knowing this, we can understand
how he unconsciously hit upon the very
word he needed to portray an idea. In his
words was the imitation of sound"
By way Of illustration Prof. De Kolty read
In the original extracts from Hugo's poems
and dramas that would best show his use OF
onomatapoetics. The verses quoted were
from the battle scene in "Hernani" and
Pour la Pauver."
Considering Hugo's prose works, the lee
turer said the ideas and characters found
in them were fashioned deductively and alb
jectively; that as a novelist Hugo began
with characters and from their attributes
created principles and ideas. "In all the
fifty-three volumes Of his works." Prof.
De kolty said, there Is in reality but a sim
gle character, that of the lyric poet, Victor
Hugo. The only difference in all the char
acters is the different phases and component
parts OF the poets character structure.
Hugo's greatest power is showing character
In its sublimity, but like artists who
paint from imagination and not from models.
he Is sometimes not true to life. His ideas
are presented by startling contrasts, every
where are unheard-of feats Of strength,
titanic proportions, sublime virtues, all
clothed in the language of genius"
The lecture was concluded by q few 70,
marks on Hugo's life. ---

MRS. LEBO HAS A BABY NOW
Little Woman Finally Succeeds in
Adopting n Boy and Gets q
Name for 1t.

Mrs. George H.. Lebo, at Fourteenth and
Spring streets, is a happy woman. Some
months ago she was unsuccessful In a child
adoption experience because the mother of
the infant she had taken to nurture came
over from Council Bluffs and asserted q
maternal right which County Judge Baxter
had to recognize. There were a great many
tears shed by a large number OF sympathetic
women on that occasion over the parting
between Mrs. Lebo and the baby she had
grown attached to. "See that you give that
baby one cows milk" was the parting advice
Of Mrs. Lebo to the mother, and then friends
Of the little woman gathered around her and
%consoled her with the assurance that she
would get another baby some day.
Yesterday morning she did get one, a nice,
plump, blue-eyed baby boy. 1t was turned
over to her by County Judge Baxter on an
order allowing her and her husband to adopt
the child. All the name the baby had ever
been known by was George" Probably
this was because Superintendent George w.
Wright Of the county poor farm has been its
guardian pro tenn, and George is a familiar
name around the Wright household. Two
months ago the diminutive waif was found
on the doorstep OF a Mrs. Wardlaw on
South Nineteenth street. 1t was taken to
the Child Saving institute and nurtured
until 1t developed a good healthy voice.
The matter OF a name troubled Mr.. and
Mrs. Lebo and somehow a name had to be
agreed upon in connection with the adop-
ton proceeding. One was satisfied to call
the baby by its old name and the other
thought that Frank" would sound nice.
When the prospect OF a settlement Of this
knotty point seemed about hopeless, Clerk
Winter came to the rescue with the sug-
gestion that the baby be called William
Mckinley Lebo." This was done and the
new mother and father and the new son
left the court. room In the greatest glee,
william Mckinley Lebo' seemingly en-
joying the situation as much as anyone.

a couple Of days ago to investigate the rob-
