The local association viii shortly hold
a show under the auspices OF the Amer
lean Kennel club. The date for the
show has not yet been decided upon,
and will be announced later. The mem
bership in this club viii give the Tope-
ka show the same prestige as the shows
in the large eastern cities because the
ratings of the dogs entered here viii be
just as critical and will count just the
same as though it was made in any Of
the large eastern cities.
James Cole, of Kansas City, Will be
the Judge. He acts as judge in the dog
shows in Chicago, st. Louis, Boston
New York and other places. He has a
reputation in this direction all over the
country.
Among the local dog fanciers who will

Harmon with twelve dogs and Dean
Kaye who owns one of the most valu-
able coIies in the west.

ers from various localities have written
in in regard to entering dogs in this
show.
Topeka is we'll known over the coun-
try among breeders of fine chickens on
account Of the fine chicken shows which
have been held here. Although Topeka

theless true that the Topeka chicken
shows have been about the largest
events of that nature IN the United
States
The new association hopes to build up
reputation of this sort for the dog
shows.

One Hundrad Thousand of Them
Driven to Frenzy by the Panss
Of Hunger.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 14.-one
hundred thousand peasants In the pro-
vinces Of Russia, made desperate by
their terrible sufferings In the famine
now prevailing throughout the .coun-
try, have become brutalized to point
almost beyond belief. They are liy-
ing like beasts, and seem to be stirred
by only one impulse, to wreak all the
destruction within their power.
Terrible famine riots have occurred
in tile Samara and Simbirsk provinces
where the famished peasants have
made raids on estates of landowners.
In seven instances, so far reported,
starving hordes killed the landlords
and their entire families, hacking the
Jcdies OF their victims to pieces with
axes. spades and other implements.
The troops sent into districts have
been unable to restore order. Valu-
able buildings have been fired in
numerous instances, and the estimat-
ed value of property destroyed is $1O,-
100 900.
