Adams house in North Topeka at 2
o'clock this after-oon.
AS the officers were putting the four

Officer Asher saw him. The complaint
had been made to the police by a
friend of Medos, who suspected his
friends Of having touched him.
All four were in varying stages of in
toxication. Medos was completely ov-
ercome and nearly asleep. Hewitt was
noisy and quarrelsome. Asher, the
pugnacious officer, allowed himself to
be dragged into a quarrel with the
drunken man and the two nearly came
to blows in the wagon. After reaching
the station Hewitt, who claims that

stole the purse and put it in his hands,

and slapped and punched him until he
decided to suspend the conversation.
The purse had nearly $50 in it.

exhibit has it's especial pride, and the
chicken men will point them out to

There are now on exhibition at the
show $500 chickens, turkeys and geese,
700 pigeons and $50 pet stock. These
are the figures given out today by Col
Hughes, and are official. In COMPARE

stated that the Missouri state show had

Judging in some of the classes has
been completed, and by Thursday

way to some of the exhibitors which
birds have been declared the winners
in some of the classes.
The attendance is booming. There
were 941 paid admissions Tuesday,
which is 300 over last year. The crowd

1t is found that the allowance an

out of him.

world. This hen was today given a
grade of 81 by Judge w. S. Russell, of
Ottumwa, Ia, and her owner, j. w.

hen is not for sale, but that if she was

morning in commenting on the won

Thos owen, of Topeka, poultry ed
itor of the Kansas Farmer, and for
many years an exclusive breeder of

near a perfect bird as has ever been

a good bird there said Mr.. Hall this
would be disappointed if I did not get
a first on her" Hall not only got first
at Kansas City on the bird, but Judge
Owen, Of Tennessee, scored the bird
in favor of making it 9S. Hall will I'M
doubtedly get first on the hen here at
Topeka, and he has won another rating
of 81, given by Judge Russell.
Just imagine, you neophytes in the
poultry business, what it means to q
man to get possession of hen like this
artistic, S15 pound fowl who occupies
the first coop to your left as you enter
the main aisle! 1t means that he is
possessed of a sure and reliable founda-
ton for big poultry business-provid-
ed the hen doesn't die. On one high
class hen like this, many a man has
founded fortune It's easy to do,
after you get the 81 per cent hen. All
that is necessary is to breed this hen
to the finest stock obtainable, save the
eggs, put them in an incubator, and
raise the chickens. The chances are
of that hens eggs will be worth $25, if
not more. A little advertisement in the
poultry and farm papers viii give you
more demands for the progeny of 81
per cent hen than you can possibly sup
ply.
J. W. Hall raised this hen himself,
and after the close of the Topeka show
he will take her back to the David City
farm, and set her to work reproducing
her kind.
Just as an example of what one hen
can do for man, it is interesting to
note the case of E. c. Branch of Lees

KELLEY MAY GO FREE.
Bond of Alleged Safe Blower Reduced
to $4,000.

John E. Hessin, the Manhattan attor-
ney, today filed an application for a
writ Of habeas corpus in the supreme
court in behalf of Ed Kelley, the al
legged safe blower, whom Sheriff Bert
Lucas had SO much trouble in securing
in Chicago some time ago.
Kelley is accused of blowing up the
county treasury Of Rawlings county two
or three years ago. When Lucas cap
tured him in Chicago and finally got
him back to Rawlins county, the court
officers up there fixed his bond at Sc, 600,
and he has been in Jail ever since be
cause he could not or would not give
the bond. The action filed by Senator
Hessin in the supreme court today was
really to get the bond reduced. 1t was
resisted by Assistant Attorney General
H. L. Pestana, but the court granted it,
and reduced the bond to 81 500.

at Buffalo during the exposition. She
received a score of 9215 which is as high
for a barred Plymouth Rock as 81 is for
white Plymouth Rock. Now the
"Pan-American Hen" is 4 years old
and she has in those four years landed
E. c. Branch right in the front rank OF

without doubt be awarded first prize at
the Topeka show.
What is she worth?" asked a State
Journal reporter of Mr.. Branch.
"She isn't for sale.'' he replied
promptly. Money could not buy that
hen. 1 think too much of her She
started me in business, and 1 won't
desert her. Besides that, I expect to
continue in the poultry business, and
she will continue to be a big money
maker for some years.
There are scores of chickens in the
show which are worth $25 apiece, and
probably dozens which could not be
bought for $50 apiece. But anything
above $50 is exceptional
