spectators manifested great deal OF
enthusiasm throughout.
The exhibition opened with a run
and performance on the long horse by

Collins, of the high school, who
cleared the bar at feet and one-half

BATTLE THAT LASTED
BUT A SINGLE ROUND.

A large redheaded woodpecker was
engaged in rearranging his last years
nest in hole he had drilled with
much labor in dead maple limb.
On returning from rather prolonged
absence, one day, he found a sparrow
had utilized his vacation in starting q
nest of his own on the limb. He
looked the ground over with much
deliberation, and then set to work to
feathers the claim jumper had showed
| in the hole.
Placing himself at the mouth of the
opening, he woul turn his body in
side, without moving his feet, till
nothing but his tail remained to be
seen, then he would turn back in the
same manner, each time bringing out
feather or stick, and, with a flip
of his bill, would throw it well out to
one side. While he was thus engaged
the sparrow appeared upon the scene.
The new conner at once set up
call and in an instant a mob of eight
or ten sparrows were on hand. The
woodpecker, who was as big as three
sparrows, paid no attention to the
scurrilous remarks the entire gang
began to direct at him, but went on
calmly with his work. The bell'g-
erents hesitated to attack so formula
bic an antagonist and kept safe dis
lance. Finally the rubbish grew so
low in the nest that Mr.. Woodpecker
had to get inside to reach it. He did
so and continued his work.
AS regularly as clock work feather
or stick flew out of the hole, but the
industrious red head kept out of sight.
Emboldened by the supposed retreat
of his big adversary the usurping
sparrow concluded to do battle. He
made dive at the mouth of the aper-
ture, but instantly reappeared with
bunch of feathers standing very much
awry upon the top of his head. Get
ting upon limb at safe distance he
devoted some moments to shaking his
head in a rueful manner, and short
time later flew away. leaving the wood
pecker, who had not left the hole, in
complete possession.

.PURDY DENIES
THERE is A DEAL
Says Talk of Consolidation OF
Rock Island And Santa Fe is
Without Foundation.
10 NEGOTIATIONS OF ANY KIND
Reports Probably Grew Out Of
Roads Intended Extension
to 81 Paso.

President Purdy of the Chicago.
Rock Island & Pacific railroad, speak
ing of the rumored consolidation OF
his line with the Atchison. Topeka 6
Santa Fe, declared that he has repeated.
ly denied that negotiations of any kind
were on which might make any
change in the property.
There is no truth, so he states with
emphasis, in the story that control of
the Mexican Central has passed into
the Rock Island. If outside infu-
ences were working to either of these
ends he thinks some intimation of it
would come to his ears.
All this talk has probably grown
out of the Rock Islands intended ex-
tension to Ell Paso on the dividing
line between Mexico and the United
States. But this is nothing more
than remunerative expansion such as
all previous moves of the Rock Island
have been.
The Rock Island has been earning
good money and great deal of it for
the past two years. For the past tis-
cal year it has earned 10 per cent
dividend, and the outlook ahead is
encouraging. But this does not JUS
tify dividend of that size and none
will be declared.
What Mr.. Purdy Says.
The reason for not discounting the
future is thus explained by President
Purdy:
Five per cent is liberal payment
to stockh olders. inasmuch as the 10
per cent earned has been during IL
months of abnormal business activ-
ity. A failure of the grain crop this
year would mean much loss to west
ern roads, and in such an event it
would be better to have q surplus to
draw on and maintain present divi-
dend rates than to pay it all out and
be compelled to discontinue the dis
bursement because of depleted
treasury.
That O. Double Track.
c., b. & q. officials today definitely
announced that double track is to
be constructed between Twenty-third
and Seventeenth streets as soon as
the material arrives. The mum Der of
trains passing through the block
stations yesterday was 102, exceeding
former records.

j. o. Thorn came up from Boards
town today, the former to make a
physical examination of several men
who have been marked for promotion.

FOOTLIGHT FLASHES.


The popular Irish comedian, Bar
ney Ferguson. appears at Harper's
theatre tonight in sMcCarthy's Mis-
haps."
Such a finished actor as George
Clarke is sure to enlist a wide range
of popular interest in every part
which he undertakes, and when he
appears at Harper's theatre Easter
Sunday, April z, matinee and night,
as "Richard Carewe" in the great
Knicker booker theatre success, when
We Were L wenty- One, that interest
will be more than doubled. when
We Were Twenty-One" is a powerful
drama of love and devotion by H. V.
Esmond. In it humor and pathos are
mixed in a mastery way and the
story is intensely interesting. when
We We're Twenty is love story
pure and simple and is told in a
straightforward, homsly way. 1t is
story of how Dick Carewe and his
comrades rear and guide the only son
of deceased chum; how they guard
and save him from the pitfalls and
snares that lie in the path of life at
81. 1t is a story of hearts bound to-
gether by ties of friendship that moth
ing can break and of how the COM
rades save their ward from the re-
suits of his foolish impetuosity.
There is probably no actor on the
American stage who has as many imi-
tators as Stuart Robson. This fact
in itself furnishes abundant proof of
the comedians popularity. During
his long career before the American
theatre-going public, Mr.. Robson has
been seen in very great number of
dramatic productions. but in none of
them has he given more satisfaction
than in "She Stops to Conquer. !"
Goldsmith's immortal comedy, which
will be presented at the Burtis next
Tuesday evening. April 9. The
coming of Mr.. Robson has always
been regarded as q conspicuous event
of the theatrical season, and it is safe
to predict that crowded house will
welcome him when he makes his APP
pearance this year. The supporting
company includes John E Henshaw.

New Jersey Candidate For Governo
Speaks at Turner Hall.


Speaks at Turner Hall.
Rev. Charles II. Vail, socialist can
didate for governor of New Jersey.
spoke at Turner hall last night. Rev.
Vail has won wide distinction, not
alone as a preacher, but as a pro-
found student of economic and socio-
logical questions.
The speaker began his address by
declaring that socialism was the only
ISOLATION of modern problems and was
the collective ownership of the means
of production and distribution. AS
to what the socialists wanted he
named the folio wing:
1. Every one to receive the full
value of his OF her labor.
2. Every human being to be well
housed, clothed, fed and educated.
8. The adoption of social and in
dustlial system that will put an end
to profit, rent and interest.
4. All the means of production and
distribution as, land, machinery and
all the available forces of nature, to
be owned and operated collectively
aud for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie.
5. No child labor, except in the
form of healthful, .well-directed man.
ual and industrial training.
8. No old age labor. except in the
form of voluntary contribution of
knowledge and experience for the
benefit of society
