London. Mar. 15.--The fox hunting
season of 1906-07, now drawing to
close, will be memorable so far as
England and Wales are concerned for
It's open weather. large fields and, gen
orally speaking. 6rst-class sport.
| On the whole, foxes have been fair
ly plentiful, and there is hardly a
hunt which cannot tell of several very
| fine runs, but local prejudice against
hunting has resulted in loss of hounds
and foxes in several counties by pois-
onlng.
From figures obtained from one OF
| the best authorities on fox hunting, 1t
Is possible to realize the enormous
| sums of money involved in hunting
| foxes. This expert asserted that dur
ing the last fifty years the cost Of
hunting has more than doubled.
Whereas half century ago the ex-
pense for three days n week hunt
was about $4,000 it now requires s15.-
600 a year and possible something
from the masters own pocket to make
the accounts balance.
There are about 170 packs of fox
hounds. consisting of about 5000 cou-
pies, In England and Wales. and as
the average number of days the
| week, the cost of the packs alone is
at least s2,500.OO0 year. This. TAX
ing no account of Ireland's twenty-six
packs, with about LOO couples, and
Scotland's eleven packs OF 800 cou-
pies.
The value OF the hunters employed
is an enormous figure. Probably 200,-
900 are used In English and Welsh
hunts alone, and at low average value
OF 5000 each they are in the aggregate
worth not less than $60,000.000 At
a very modest estimate they cost the
owners nearly $4,000, 900 to keep.
Denver. Mar. 15.-The senate today
discussed again the railroad bill. Sen

pledge to the people of a railroad
rate law.
why those chumps got together
around a table. drank champagne,
smoked fine perfecto cigars and put
in this full pledge. the effect of which
they knew nothing about"
Senator Wood invoked the FORGIVE
ness OF the Almighty for having been
a member of the republican resolu-
ton committee in the last state con-
yention which put this pledge in the
party platform.
1T was the most contemplate thing
that | ever loaned by name to and |
shall never do IT again" Then the
senator dubbed the bill. Senator
Wood said he regretted he as a re
publican helped to draw the platform.
"If we should adjourn this legislature
right now and go home 1t would do
more to help the people of this state
than any one act the assembly could
do"
| Nothing was done.
| Omaha. Mar. 15.-A report received

They have always felt that this ter
ritory belonged to Omaha dealers ex-
clusively and will not accept this
