FISHING TACKLE.
Best Line Ever Brought to Baxter
Now Arriving.

We looked at whole sample out.
fit of fishing tackle Wednesday, but
won't undertake to tell what all II
contained. Suffice to say there was
everything that one ever heard OF
in the way of Implements to catch
fish. The line was exhibited In the
sample rooms at the Springs hotel
by Mr.. Bailey, representative OF
the Schneider Sporting Goods Com.
pany of Kansas City.
Mr.. G. Polster bought heavily
of these goods and we say without
fear of successful contradiction that
when the goods arrive which he
purchased he will have the largest,
best and most varied assortment of
fishing tackle ever brought to Bax.
ter Springs.
But fishing tackle is not all that
Mr.. Polster bought. He purchased
a lot of fancy hammocks, of all
sizes, kinds and pricea.
These goods are now arriving. If
you ever expect to 60 fishing go to
Polster's at once and pick out what
you want before the assortment is
broken.
Well dream of big Fish, and lots
of 'em, since looking at that big as.
sortment of tackle.

WILL RACE TODAY.
Washington Homing Pigeons to Be Lib
Grated at Chester, va.


Today. II favorable. will mark the open
ing OF the local homing pigeon racing
season of 1902. with race from Ches-
ter. Va. distance no miles. b. the Wash
ington District of the National Fedora
tion of American Homing Pigeon Fan
ciers.
Five hundred and ffty-fve birds, repre-
senting twenty-three lofts. were counter
marked by the race committee on Friday
night, and while not as large an entry as
has been entered in the initial races OF
the past few seasons. the superiority in
quality Of the birds more than makes up
for the lack in quantity.
Older fanciers are realizing that more
sport and less trouble Is experienced in
training kit Of twenty-five girds which
have been we'll bred and conditioned tian
in caring for flock Of from fifty to sew
enty-dve birds. In which case each in
dividual bird does not receive the scru-
tiny that small racing team does.
At the annual meeting of the Washing
ton District. which is now the only or
ganized hoDling pigeon club in the city,
the following officers were elected: OiIen
c. Mclean. president; L. b. Nye. vice
president; W. F. Dismer, secretary
treasurer: H. NJ. Dickinson n. chairman, and
A. {. Harmon and W. F. Dismer, men,
bers of the race committee.
From now on every active homing pig
con fancier will be busy training his
birds. Each successive week carries
them 100 miles farther South, until the
600-mile station Is reached.

THE PEANUT IN LONDON.
Bids Fair to Play Its Part in Metropoli-
tan Theatres.

In London an ingenious critic. casting
about him for new subject. not long ago
| professed to view with alarm the
| emigration of British actors who conc
! to the United States to exhibit their ar,
and share in the gate receipts. The
critics concern was not lest the English
actor would be SO pleased with this
country that he would remain here, but
| lest his art become "coarsened" By the
Americans liking for cruder dramatic
effects.
This criticism has been taken seriously
by a number of Americans and IL NAV
be that the critic took it seriously him.
self Critics are often very serious peo-
pie. II so, he was straining at a gnat
and-all unconsciously. perhaps-swal-
lowing camel. For at the very time he
wrote more insidtous danger threaten
ed the British stage at the hands of
Americans.
1t seems that the peanut-identified
with our own drama almost from its
humbiest beginnings-has suddenly made
its appearance in London. Its first in
PRODUCTION to the British metropolis was
about Christmas time. II was received
with open mouths, and has steadily won
its way near to the hearts OF all Britons
who know n good thing when they see IL.
slaves to a protected" appetite. The
Pail Mall Gazette calls It the "last
cry of American enterprise. and noted
at the outset that its introduction to the
East End had met with marked success.
There seems little question that it will
take its place with the other food pro-
ducts supplied to Great Britain by for
eigners, and 1t may even grow into a
political issue, like the allen supply of
wheat.
The peanut gallery" In our own coun-
try has been an important factor in
shaping the methods OF the playwright
Frequently its demands are seen to con-
troll his dominating motives. and still
more frequently is his sentiment favor
ed and his dialogue prepared with refer
ence to the gallery alone. Necessarily,
the actor, who can do no more than in
terpret his lines, is in turn influenced by
this catering to public taste. He. too,
in spite of himself must often play to the
York Herald.

Maclay, of Altoona.

Among the heroes of the Cuban. Philip
pine. and Chinese wars who recently were
awarded medals Of honor for bravery in
the field is Sergt. William p. Maclay, OF
Altoona. Maclay enlisted as a private in
Company A, Forty-third Regiment, and
won honor and advancement on May C,
1900. at Hilougas, p l.
There the Insurgents had gathered in
force n an old stone church. the walls
of which were more than seven feet thick.
The gunboat Pampange had sheiled the
church in vain. the missiles seeming to
make no impression upon Its heavy
masonry. Finally Company d, Forty-thlrd
Regiment, was ordered TO take the strong
hold. At considerable loss of men three
oil the four bastions at the church were
silenced. but the fourth, In corner of

TRAINING CANARIEs TO SING.
The Studio of a Brooklyn Woman and
Her Methods,

An enterprise of interest to bird lovers
is the little home studio for canaries
kept by a Brooklyn woman. To teach
bird to sing sounds somewhat like tax
ing liberties with human nature. but there
is distinct difference between the sing
ing of these birds after taking a fulF
course of music lessons. and their per-
formances as given without regard to the.
laws of harmony.
Primitive bird organs imported from
Germany are the main educators In the
studio. A thoroughly finished resident
pupil. who has been under the organs In
tiuence from infancy. brings the faculty
$50. and is considered well worth the
money. Pupils from outside are received.
Birds with shrill. high pitched voices are
taught to manage and modulate their
tones. while birds who have not sung for
a long time. and whose owners arc wor-
ried about them. recover their voices and
catch fresh inspiration from hearing the
organ play.
The bird culturist has her birds in a
top story fiat in that part of Brooklyn
where rents are cheap enough to allow
of space to spread out in. The best rooms
are given to the birds and the organs.
although the regulating of singing meth
ods and various Gotails Of bird raising
are conducted cheek by Jowl with homeiy
family tasks.
I'm my part OF Germany nobody would
put up with the singing of an unframed
canary" says the principal of the indus
try, who has lived long enough in America
to speak English we'll. They would MS
lief listen to n cat squalling or parrot
scolding- Over here I've heard the birds
that are kept for pets singing in tones
that made me vince, and | sent for an
organ and trained few birds. Just to
see II the people would notice the dit
ference in the performance.
Several dealers sent thir customers
and their friends to hear my birds, and
got so many orders for trained singers
that went in regularly for the business

as Wisconsin and South Dakota. and there
