imous choice of the members. The
dates were not selected.
The show closed last evening, and it
was characterized as the best held in
three years. The number of entries
was not S 10 large as previously, but the
quality of the birds was far superior
to any that have been shown here be-

r WITH FUND,
South Dakota Early With Mckinley
Memorial Contribution.

Pierre: S.. D., Feb. 3.-The fact that
South Dakota was the first to get in it's
full quota for the Mckinley memorial
fund, and not only to get the cash in,
but a larger than was appor-
toned to the state, While others are
yet tagging, shows the results of thor
ough organization and the appointment
of leading men in all the counties of
the state to look after the fund. Each
man knew just what was expected of
him, and all the collectors appointed
were men who could secure the money
without trouble. 1t was simply a case
of going at the matter in the right way
to get results. instead of ~haphaZard
methods of securing the fund.

a Flemish artist has produced what
is said to be the smallest painting in
the world. 1t is a picture of a miller
mounting the stairs of his mill and
carrying a sack of grain on his back.
The mill is depicted as standing near
a terrace. Close at hand are a horse
and cart, with a few groups of
peasants idling in the road near by.
All this is painted on the smooth side
of a grain Of ordinary white corn. 1t
is necessary t examine it under a
microscope and it is drawn with per-
feet accuracy.

Edwards Eyes Bothering Him and
General Health Reported Bad.

London. Dec. Those who are
brought into touch with the king again
are uneasy about his health, although
the subject has not been mentioned yet
in the papers here. Several weeks ago
it was announced that Professor Pagen-
stecher, the most famous of continental
oculists, had made trip over to see
the king. Great care was taken to give
the impression that this was merely a
friendly call-which was, of course, non
sense.
Since then nothing has been said on
the subject, but as a matter of fact
Professor Pagenstecher and Sir Felix
Semon, famous specialist on diseases
of the throat, both were called to attend
the king al Balmoral and again after
his return to buckingham palace.
Furthermore, both accompanied him
when he went to Sandringham recently.
They left Balmoral a week before the
king came back to town.

with his eyes dates back to his fall from
a motor car-the fall that helped to
bring on his dangerous illness at the

twitching of the eyelids. 1t does not
seem to be anything serious; but, on the
other hand, the visits of Sir Felix Semon

of all except three a day of the cigars
to which he is so attached. He used to
smoke big black and particularly strong

mitted to smoke have to be much milder

The impression prevails that the

With ANY Club.

Chicago, Dec. 1-Young Corbett, the
featherweight champion, arrived in Chi
cago from Denver Saturday night at 8
o'clock. and left for New York city al O.
Corbett did not bear of Judge Toney' $
decision until after his arrival, and when
assured that there is again q change to
hold the McGovern-C orbett battle at
Louisville, his joy knew no bounds.
You can say for me-" said Corbe1t
that I am doing my own business, and
no match is made for me until sign
the articles of agreement. Considine IS
my representative in New York, but he
will not sign any contract for me to
fight until 7 am consulted So far L
have not consented to fight McGovern
at San Francisco, Baltimore or Phiia-
delDhia. Bob Gray and his associates
went to an enormous expense, and also
fell for forfeits when the reformers
stopped the fight. I promised Mr.. Gray
then that if he got the chance to arrange
our meeting he would get my signature
quicker than lightning. viii certainly
stick to that promise now if he wants
the contest
Corbett looked the picture of health,
and did not look much out of condition.
He travelled alone.
