FINE BIRDS HERE.
Seventeen Hundred Feathered Beau
ties Are Expected Tomorrow.

Seventeen hundred birds, and all of
them too aristocratfc to be eaten will
be on exhibition this week commencing
with Monday. Sixteen hundred of these
grand danes and knights of the roost
were received Saturday evening and one
hundred more viii be received Sunday
with scattering offerings on Monday.
There will be a noise like a chicken
yard in the Auditorium and a some
thing else like a-but that is something
which will have to remain a deep, dark
secret until you get there.
All of this is the Kansas state poultry
show which holds its seventeenth an
nual exhibition. Indications that the
enries will be largely in excess of last
year are indeed bright, already the
number received are better by over 100
than the total number on exhibition in
1905.
There is a strong showing of birds
from states other than Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, Ala
bama and Illinois are all represented.
The poultry fanciers from Missouri
are especially numerous, twenty-s111
of them from various towns IN that
state. OF the counties in Kansas, Nc
Phi erson is in the lead thus far and
$50 birds entered are from Mcpherson,
Jefferson, Riley and Douglas counties
are pushing Mcpherson hard for first
honors. The prizes which have been
offered to the counties making the
best showing of birds are responsible
for this fierce rivalry.
The judging of the birds will COM
mence right away Monday. 1--WE are
going to rush this judging so that all
the ribbons will be distributed by
Thursday" said Secretary Owens.

ST Louis. No, Jan. 6.-Former
Judge Franklin Ferris, general coun-

congressional investigation. 1t VIII
show how well the fair was really
managed.
81 have never seen a copy of this
report of Senator Carter, but it is my
belief he makes no direct charges. L
am informed he simply reports to
congress the charges of others.
t'The charges that the fair company
did not get the best possible price for
fair salvage has been denied time
and again. The charge is absolutely
false. The Chicago House Wrecking
company was far and away the high
est bidder. Why, do you know. one
contractor offered to wreck eight of
the exhibit buildings for nothing. Just
think of that-this man would not
give one cent for the material in
eight of the largest buildings on the
grounds"

LOOKING FOR COREY.
Woman and Boy Called at the Du-
quesne Club After He Had Left.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. An incident
giving rise to another sensational
chapter in the Corey marital troubles
occurred tonight at the annual dinner
of the Carnegie Steel officials, at the
Duquesne club, when a woman and a
youth about II years of age, anSW ering
the description of Mrs Laura Corey
and her son, appeared at the club and
inquired for Mr.. Corey.
Mr. Corey had left the club previous
", it being 11:30 o'clock when the
woman and boy entered the club, using
the private entrance. Upon being told
Mr.. Corey was not there, both left.
W. Z. Corey was present at the an
nual banquet of the Carnegie Steel
officials. During the afternoon the
regular monthly meeting of the heads
of the subsidiary concerns of the
United States Steel corporation was
held. Arrangements had been made
for the evening gathering a t the Du-
quesne club. which has become to be
an annual function of the steel Off
Gals. An elegant banquet was served
after which there was an informal
number Of toasts.
Mr.. Corey. it was stated was in
especially good spirits during the even
ing, but never once did he speak of the
estrangement with Mrs. Corey, or of
the reports of the alleged contempIa-
ton of his resigning his position.
Everything indicated he was assured
of his reelection at the meeting of the
directors of the Steel corporation next
spring.
Mr.. Corey left the dinner shortly
after II o'clock, leaving the banquet
hall with A c. Dinkey, president of
the Carnegie Steel company. Many of
the other guests remained at the club
and it was while they were there en-
jOying a social chat that the woman
supposed to be Mrs. Corey called and
inquired for Mr.. Corey.
1t was reported about the club that
the woman was Mrs Corey and those
who recognized her would neither con
firm or deny the rumor. Those re-
naming until early this morning gos-
siped considerably about the Corey
family affairs after the visit of the
woman in search of Mr.. Corey. It was
even intimated that a reconciliation
had been effected between them. Con-
firmation of the matter at this hour is
impOssible.

O'BRlEN AND RYAN.
VIII Be the Center of the PugiIistic
World, Ere Long.

Chicago, Jan. 6.@That Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien and Tommy Ryan viii
be the center of attraction in the pugi-
istie world before very long can be
gathered from the present chances OF
the two being matched to participate in
a tWenty-round contest at James Cot
froths club in California, local fans
say. The Philadelphia, it is believed.
would undoubtedly like very much to
have Ryan as his first opponent, as be-
tween these two men lies the crown for
the middleweight championship.
O'Brien, after his recent victory over
Fitzsimmons, expressed his willingness
to take on Ryan as his next adversary.
O'Brien says he is anxious to have d
clear record of the three championships
that he now can battle for. He holds
the light heavyweight title and there is
some question about whether he or Mar
win Hart is heavyweight champion. Be
sides endeavoring to be the holder of
this title. O'Brien is eager to add the
middleweight crown to his list. The
only way he can procure it is by de-
feating Tommy Ryan.
When Ryan heard of the Philadel-
phian's eagerness to get into the ring
with him he Immediately urged his
manager, Jack Curley, to attend to the
affair. Negotiations for the match are
now pending and it is expected that be
fore very long it will be clinched. Ryan
says he will be ready to take on O'Brien
by the first of March when the latter 5
theatrical contract expires.
