Is SHORT OF FUNDS.
KenOsha Poultry Show Shares Fate
Of the Country Club and Other
Sporting Organizations.
OF INTEREST TO sPoR1sMEN

The Kenosha County Poultry Asso-
citation is sharing the fate of all the
associations formed for the promotion
of sport in Kenosha, and on next Sun
day when the annual meeting of the
members of the Association is held at
the Joerndt store some arrangements
will have to be made to meet the def
cit in the treasury. The Associat ton
held the best show in its history this
year, but the people of the city failed
to give it the patronage it deserved,
and as result the pockets of the
members must be touched to make UP
the shortage, The officers state, that
the deficit is not large one, and that
It will make no difference with the
next years exhibit.
AT the meeting on Sunday Jew Off
GERS will be elected. and some action
will be taken to secure judge for the
next show. 1t is not probable that
Judge Ellison will be re-engaged, as
some of the poultry raisers were not
satisfied with his work this year. It is
likely that some judge never before in
Kenosha will be secured.
AT the meeting Sunday the members
Of the Association will also take up the
discussion of the plan for union with
the Racine association, and it may be
that joint show will be held next sea-
son. This plan is favored by the Ra-
cine association and it is possible that
the union will be effected early in the
spring.

What to Do With Drunkards.

An interesting phase Of the temper
ance question is touched upon in the
annual report Of the New York state
commission of pensions, which asks If
some wiser methods than those that
now prevail cannot be devised for deal
ing with drunkenness in it's relation to
crime The commission shows that in
the last year nearly one-third of the
commitments to penitentiaries, jails and
other corrective institutions were for
this offense. while it estimates that
fully onehalf Of the convictions in the
criminal courts result from excessive
use Of liquor. 1t says:
Many of these offenders are laboring
men having families depending upon them
for support and except when under the
influence of liquor are honest and indus
trious, providing for their families When
such man is fined and imprisoned, his
family suffers rather than himself
The problem is an old one and has
been discussed from so many view
points for SO many years and without
success that the outlook for it's solution
appears almost hopeless The impris-
onment of habitual drunkards, as now
provided by law, does not seem to ma
terially check the evil and in many in
stances causes much suffering and dis
tress on the part of those dependent
upon the offenders. AS the report says:
There is a large distinction between the
man who cannot control his appetite for
drink and the man who Willfully and ma
liciously commits an offense against the
person or property of another. The law
should recognize this distinction. The
present practice of sending him to jail or
to penitentiary branded as a criminal
to consort with thieves, only depraves and
discourages him and at the same time in
hicts punishment and privation upon his
family. Some wiser method Of dealing
with this offense should be ascertained
and adopted.
There is much sound sense in the
suggestion that men and women com
mitted for drunkenness should not be
classed as criminals and obliged to live
in the prisons with persons who have
been guilty of greater offenses. But
would a change in the place or manner
of detention effect reform? The stig-
ma Of being locked up would still re
main, and, besides, Incarceration Of
poor men, upon whom others depend for
a living, would in noWise, as the report
says, relieve their families of hardships
Nor would the simple fning Of such
men suffice, and this would also entail
distress upon dependents.
1t is apparent that for the protection
of society there must be some punish
ment of the habitual drinker who
makes a public nuisance OF himself or
violates the laws, but what to do with
him seems to be an unsolvable prob
lem. 1t is feared that the commissions
question will long remain unanswered
or at least without practical answer.

Baleour's Uncomfortable Position.

The speech of King Edward at the
opening Of the British parliament is of
very much less interest than the debate
to follow on amendments to it. The
opposition does not lack weapons of at
tack Among these are the fiscal ques
ton, home rule the education act, Chi
nese labor in the Transvaal and the re
port of the war commission, all prom
Used as subjects of amendment, and
between them the sponsors of these
motions should be able to make things
very uncomfortable for the govern
ment
However, Premier Balfour has an
obvious advantage in that no consider
able group of the opposition is agreed
upon single mode Of attack. If the
Liberals, the Irish party and the insur-
gent free traders would band together,
the defeat of the government would be
certain instead Of problematical.

Water, weather and Seeding,

The Red river came to its height, for
the present at least, Oh Tuesday and
Wednesday, at which time the ice began
to run in earnest. The increase in the
height since has been but an inch or two
and has been the effect of wind rather
than water. At Grand Forks the water
has been at a standstill with but little
variation Tor about ten days and is now
falling some. AT Drayton there has been
but little change for week. The water
here is about six feet below the high wa
ter mark OF 1897 and about three feet be.
low the lowest parts of the toWnsite.
There is still very large amount of wa
ter to come into the river from the prair.
les and the timber along the banks of the
branches is yet full of unmelted snow.
Heavy rains coming at once could still
give us more water than the river could
comfortably care for, but SO much of the
water has already gone past that there is
little danger now, under any circumstan-
ces. of flood. The W. ather has remain
ed extraordinary cold and this is all that
has kept the Red river from overlooking
its banks. This fact has however prov
ed rather disagreeable to our neighbors
back in the country, as the cold has kept
the snow banks intact and this has prs.
vented the opening of the bitches and
coulies and even the Pembina and
Tongue rivers, so that the waters from
the melting SHOWS have been spread all
over the level prairies with no place to
go, making very inconvenient, though
not serious, flood conditions in many 10.
callties. This condition only lasted for
few days and at present, though there is
still large amount of surplus water all
over the county, which will delay seed
ing until late, yet it has been drying up
very rapidly all the week.
Winnipeg people are getting anxious
as the water there is rising rapidly and is
already over the lowlands. VI o.
Seeding, under the most favorable
weather conditions, will not be at all
general in this county before the 1st Of
May, though there may be some done in
spots, especially in the west, the latter
part OF the week. This will make the
seeding the latest for many years. The
ground will, however, be full of moisture
and with the warm wave that is almost
certain to follow the present extended
cold season. the seed will terminate very
quickly and be just as far ahead in June
as usual. The favorable fall left but little
land to be plowed this spring. However
there will be more barley and oats sown
as result of the late seeding time. ),
