KILLED $4,000 DUCKS.
Great Slaughter of Wild Fowl in Bar
ton County.

Great Bend, Kas., Oct. 4.-One
buyer here took in over 1000 ducks
from duck shooters, mostly from
Cheyenne bottom, in one day. Pre-
viously he bought over 1000 each day
for four successive days, and scarcely
a day passed since the duck season be-
gan that he did not buy several hun
bred. Besides this buyer in the Bend
the buyers at Hoisington bought
similar quantities. 1t is a low esti-
mate that $4,000 wild ducks have been
killed in Barton county during the
past few weeks.
The largest number of course were
obtained on Cheyenne bottom, but the
salt marsh south of EllinwoOd and the
Walnut and Cow creeks and the
Arkansas river furnished a good per-
centage. One hunter on Cheyenne
bottom one day got 1913 in six shots
with a magazine shotgun, and with
these guns several men have records
of over 100 ducks in six shots lately.
One man has made a record of over
500 ducks in a single day on the bot
tom.
Ducks have been much more plen-
tiful herea bouts this fall than usual,
but they are beginning to migrate
south. The abundance of water on
the bottoms, more than for years, and
in the ponds and bayous along the
streams. is the main reason for their
presence in such large numbers this
fall.

BRYAN ON THE STUMP.
Confines His Speeches Almost Wholly
to State Issues.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 4.-William ].
Bryan left Omaha, early today, speak
ing briefly at the small towns between
Omaha and Emerson, Neb., where he
delivered lengthy speech.
His first address was made at Gret-
ma, which is in the second congress
sional district. where he was given
an enthusiastic reception. He passed
the Bryan flag pole, raised in his honor
when in 1890 he made his initial ad-
dress as candidate for congress.
Mr.. Bryan's address at Gretna had
to do almost entirely with state is
sues, and the speaker made a strong
appeal for reelection of Congressman
Hitchcock.
a mass meeting was held in South
Omaha last night. He was greeted by
large crowd a great majority of them
packing house employees.
Mr.. Bryan briefly referred to the
state campaign, eulogized Congressman
Hitchcock and appealed for the sup
port especially of the fusion legislative
ticket which he said was important
because the coming legislature would
elect a L. S. senator.
Coming to national questions Mr..
Bryan said:
tI need not tell you that 1 was de-
lighted with the nomination at St.
Louis, I opposed the nomination OF
Parker because he did not stand for
what we had been fighting for in Ne
braska for eight years. 1 stand today
for every doctrine have advocated
have not recanted and have not with
drawn from where I stood. 1 have not
changed my position. I believed three
things when 1 stood before you as a
candidate and 1 believe in them today.
I'VE got a good platform. The plat
form at St. Louis is bad only where It
omits to state the partys position on
two questions-the money and the in
come tax
Mr.. Bryan gave reasons for not get
m on of a nar11nPrati0 Marty
ing that he thought he could bring
about the reforms he advocated better
in that way. He said he agreed with
the Populists on many questions and
with the socialists on others, such as
municipal ownership of public utilities
state ownership of railways and postal
savings banks.
The size of the standing army he de-

Heved. He says in his communication:

BookmaIxer UlIman Offers $4,000 to
Gotham Ball Team.

New York. Oct 4.-Bookmaker
Joe Ullman, representing a syndi-
cate of sporting men more or less in
terested in baseball, will give the com
bined teams of the Greater New York
baseball club of the American league
spot cash for seven games of baseball,
to be played in this city, for the
worlds championship. The PROPOSE
ton will only hold if the ''Yanks"
beat out Boston and win the Ameri-
can league championship, and the man
agement of the New York Nationals
has once more finally and definitely
refused to countenance the Giants
playing in post-season championship
series against their American league
rivals.
The idea of the Ullman syndicate is
to confine the competing teams to
twelve men per club. U1lman and his
associates believe the seven games
would bring at least $4,000 After
paying $4,000 guarantee to the TWEEN
ty-fcur players and defraying the
grounds rental and other incidental ex-
penses, the syndicate would stand to
take down a nice profit on the invest
ment. 1t will take all risks due to
cold weather and rain.

ing the residence of state officials and

and the writ of mandamuS was
granted.
Now w. S. jerks. who was attorney
for Dr.. Uhls, comes into court with
motion that an attorneys fee of 5000
be taxed up against Allard.
My client does not like to have his
rights as a citizen interfered with and
then have to pay for the privilege of
doing what he is rightfuIly entitled to
do said Mr.. jerks.
