BENNETT HOLDS THE CUP
KsIIs Twenty Five Birds and Scores
Twenty Three.

A. L. Bennett successfully defended the
Kansas and Oklahoma championship cup
yesterday from Mr.. Paul MelHnger.
The match was a shoot at twenty-five
live pigeons each. Mr.. Bennett succeed
ed in bagging twenty-three TO his oppon-
ent's twenty. The pigeons shot at were
considered by all trap shooters to have
been the fastest flyers ever trapped here
and with the high wind assisting them
they were difficult to stop. Mr.. Bennett
actually killed the whole number of TWEEN
ty-five, the two lost ones being hard hit
with both barrels but falling dead just
out OF bounds. The fact that he used a
Winchester repeating shot gun makes his
performance extra creditable.
Mr.. Mellinger hit most of his birds, but
did not center them with the load as well
as his opponent, many Of his birds flying
out of bounds and dropping feathers as
they went. A large crowd braved the
weather in order TO see the match.

EIGHT THOUSAND
BIG GAIN BY THE Ross ADMIN
ISTRATION. a
Much Richer Than Under HetropoIf-
tan Police.

Yesterday there was a summing up at
the city building Of gross receipts and net
gains, and if ever there was a damaging
impeachment of the old metropolitan po-
lice commission system, those figures con-
tain it.
This last month, December, the gross
receipts and che expenditures were as fol-
lows:
Gross receipts. .....................s2 ,542.45
Expenditures ........ ............... 1,1S2.5O
Net receipts ........................s1 81. 559. 95
December 81 completede the first six
months of the management of the city's
police force under Mayor Ross. The city
has not been less thoroughly projected
than it was before. The number o. els
orderly scenes On Inc Streets have Tot
been more noticeable either in point Of
frequency or Consciousness than before
I.awlessness and drunkenness has been at
a minimum. There has been no violation
of the Sunday inhibition. and election day
has been observed as sacred, as the law
contemplates. And in that time there
has come into the city's Golfers the sum
of S, 50912. in good. hard currency Of che
realm. In other words, in the las- six
months, there has been saved 10 the city
of Wichita and kept out Of politics o. the
channels where mismanagement directed
it, $500 silver dollars, part Of which, TO-
gether with a per cent Of Mayor Ross
salary, goes each month to the park fund.
Following is a statement OF the six
months careful, conservative and thrifty
conduct of the city's police revenue under
Mayor Ross:

As Wife of Church, She Can

court the jury hung. Whether the eVl-

she will not. and that will end the case
The county attorney would never can 'lie

Kleinegger.
There is opposition 10 the marriage. Ine
Kleineggers are bitter against Harry
Church. John Kleinnegger says the mar

brother saws he will kill Church II the
marriage does take place. But WlVh
Mary -einnegger wants to marry Harry
Church. under the circumstances, the hu-
initiation that she viii be freed FROM ana

she will have her way.
IF Harry Church murdered the infant

himself from a trying affair. He had

Mary KIeinnegger is a healthy, robust
country girl. rather pretty. She Is large
for her height. She had borne a good
name as an honest and industrious lass

Quick Run.

The west-bound Burlington fast mail
train to-day beat all previous records
between the two cities, says an Omaha
dispatch Of the 18th. The train left
Chicago last evening at l0;47, being de-
tained by the Eastern connection. The
train was an unusually heavy one, carry.
ing the accumulated mail delayed in
the East. The weight of the mail in
the cars is estimated at $50 tons. The
best time was made between Chicago
and Burlington, when it exceeded 100
miles per hour for several spurts. The
actual time between Chicago
and Omaha was nine hours and four
teen minutes; actual running time, TAX
ing out stops, eight hours and forty-four
minutes for the 502 miles. The best
previous runs were east-bound mail on
the Burlington, Jan. 2, nine hours and
twenty.three minutes, and North.
western special last summer, nine hours
and twenty nine minutes.

Below we print al article from the
Howard Spirit which will be of interest
to our citizens, owing to the fact that
Custer sent her share Of soldier boys
from this state who bsve helped to hold
up the honor and msahood Of our young
state:
Already the regular troops are or
dered to the Philipnes to relieve the
volunteers stationed there. As soon as
they arrive and tho crisis with the ma
tives is passed, tht Volunteers will be
sent home. TbeyIwill probably be re-
turned in the orde} OF their arrival re-
leasing those first Who had served long
est in the tropics II is not possible
now to even approximate the date
when brave Oak otan's- feet viii
again press their native coil but wheth-
er it shall be in March, or May, or
July, the Spirit" hopes to see fitting ex-
preston given to that JOY and pride with
which our hearts will welcome the event.
Whether tnev come from the east or the
west, New York or San Fratcisco, there
will be ample time when they start from
the seaport to advertise excursions ifthe
matter has been properly arranged.
The crowd would be limited only by the
carrying capacity of the railroads, and
they should be given more than royal
reception at Sioux Falls. We have
collectively and individually. made great
efforts to advertise our state by sending
sample products for exhibition in the
east and even in Europe, but these boys
have gone to the uttermost parts OF the
earth, living advertisement Of "the
man behind the plows," in Dakota.
Wherever they have set their feet they
haye taught higher respect for Dakota
manhood. Our reception to them should
be conclusive that we appreciate the
mettle that is in them. The Spirit can
say, with Alice Carey's "War Maiden:-
"You must sing for US both in that blessed
day
When welcome my soldier boy,
For my eyes will be dimmed with the happy
tear,
Aid my heart will come to my lips so near
That cannot sing for Joy"

According to the Railway Agent of
Cleveland, the pennant for fast running
on American railroads has been trans.
ferred from the east to the country west
Of the Mississippi River. The splendid
showing made by the Burlington fast

Gil Bluffs is what has brought about the
change These trains now make the
500 mile run between Lake Michigan
and Missouri River at the rate Of nearly
so miles an hour including stops. The
first exclusive fast mail train for the
west left Chicago March llth, 1884. 1t
consisted Of mail car and baggage
