NEW SPORT WITH
FAST MOTOR CARS
Aut0mobilists or Nebraska Hunt
Coyotes With Modern
Vehicle
By 2. z. PHomnedieu

The automobile is fast becoming a
great medium in the pursuit of sports
of various kinds. The latest use TO
which it has been put is the wolf chase"
These ehases are organized frequently
in certain states to do away with the
coyotes, which are destructive 10 live
stock and poultry. Recently two visit
ors went to Harvard, Neb. and learning
that one of the hunts was to take place
on a certain day introduced the auto
mobile into the game. Two touring
cars were used to convey the hunters
to the scene of the chase, which was
a large square field where the coyotes
We're known to abound. Several trips
were made by the cars as about zoo
men participated in the hunt. The men
were stationed at intervals along the
four sides of the field. at the corners
of which were captains No one was
allowed to advance until the order was
given. then they closed in. Each man
had shotgun, and every man was
ordered to shoot low, in order to make
as slight as possible the danger OF
cross firing. The automobiles kept
with the hunters until they were well
toward the center of the field then
the cars We're driven straight across
the prairie to where the finish was to
be. A straw stake near corral was
the line Drawn, and elgnt coyotes were
brought to bay at this point, and were
killed. as were also over 200 jack
rabbits and cottontails which were
driven into the same trap. The cotton
tails were taken home for food. IT was
found that much time was saved by
the use of the automobiles to carry the
men TO and from the scene of action.

again. This seemed so wonderful to

Then rose his giant form in wrath

JOY TO De with you. May we be long
in your land.
Captain Rees' Remarks and Poem.
Captain Rees paid an eloquent trib-
ute to the work accomplished by Lin
coin in his efforts to preserve the
Union, and characterized him as an un-
rivaled ruler. After being introduced
by Chairman Atkinson, Captain Rees
spoke as follows, concluding with an
original poem:
We can do but meager honor to Lin
coin here tonight. We can not add
the smallest increment to his fame;
but we can do infinite honor to our
selves in paying homage, on this CEN
tennial of his birth, to the memory of
one of the greatest, grandest, noblest
men that ever lived!
Abraham Lincoln-patriot, states
man, philosopher, emancipation, Presi-
dent, unrivaled ruler, immortal man
in the whole history of the world has
had few equals and perhaps no supe-
riors. Wise as Solomon, mighty as
Caesar, pure as Westinghouse stands
side by side with the Father of His
Country, towering head and shoulders
above the stalwart men of his own gem
eration-a magnificent model for all
who are yet to come.
He had his enemies and detractors,
as genius and wisdom and glory al
ways have; but these delusionists are
growing fewer day by day, and in time
will vanish from the earth which they
neither benefit nor adorn.
"Lincoln belongs to the agesl" His
fame is the glory Of the nation and
the priceless heritage of generations
yet unborn. Let him who would dim
the luster of his achievements or tar
nish the splendor of his reputation re-
member that he vainly strives with
impious hand to cloud the star that
gives him light and quench the fire
that warns ambitions loyal heart.
Let him that is truer, Drawer,
reader, slower in error and swifter in
right, east the first stone-and Lin
coins greatness will still shine on
when envy and malice, calumny and
SANDER are buried ages gone in cold
oblivion's blackened waste.
We may well pay tribute to that
wonderful character who sprarg from
the wilds of Illinois to the chief mag
lotihcy VI tho NAHUM anu Bhiueu thc
destinies of bleeding republic
through four long years of civil war
to complete regeneration and perpetual
union; whose wondrous pen mightier
than flaming sword decreed that four
million slaves should be forever free,
who brought order out of the chaos
and victory out of defeat, who fell by
the assassin IS bullet and was borne to
him tomb amid the lamentations of n
weeping world, and whose name will
live in imperishable glory till the end
of time-onr martyred hero President,
Abraham Lincoln!

To breathe away a cold Mrs.
Hammond closed the right nostril
and inhaled with the left till her
chest was like drum. At the same
time she forced up the left arm in
the snake like motion.
She then changed to the other
side and followed by breathing in
with both nostrils deeply. Then
she said she forced the air out feel
ing the strain in the back of her
neck.
after these exercises l say

said.
Mrs. Hammond told society's in
ner circle that the voice of humans
begins at the toes. She also taught
them how to say "He-he-he" and
"Ho-ho-ho" and "A-h-h go-o-o" in q
way that excited quite merry
laughter.
"Now do that exercise every
morning before breakfast" said
Mrs. Hammond, as the last 90
died away.
Mrs. Hammond, wearing a Gre
clan costume. also did a flitsome
dance to Mendelssohn's Spring

up. She recommended this as an
excellent method of developing
grace.

GENTLE SLAP FOR
JESSIE SHIRLEY

Editor, The Press-Believing
that an injustice has been done to
Mr.. Sunday, who is striving to
benefit the people of our fair city,
by an article that appeared in
Tuesday evenings Press, take
the liberty of answering. In the
first place l do not consider that
Miss Shirley is qualified to Judge,
being partisan to theaters as Mr..
Sunday is to his God and Maker.
! attended the scathing denuncia-
tion of amusements on Friday
evening and am at loss to see
where Miss Shirley has been hurt
in the least. "A guilty conscience
needs no accuser." She speaks of
being the daughter of minister
and of her Christian character and
of being a bible student, yet at
the same time she keeps her show
open Sunday evenings, which
keeps the young people away from
the church and leads them away
from the teachings of their early
childhood.
Speaking of the honor of the
stage and of the great teachings
that uplift the minds of. the youth,
who was 1t that was one of the
first to appear on the stage in our
city with the abominable sheath
gown? Perhaps Miss Shirley can
tell. have been to the Shirley
cOmpany's shows and time and
again have seen ladies dressed
in gentlemen's attire smoking
cigarets. 1t certainly looks ele-
waiting to see Christians do such
things. l certainly will leave it to
any fair minded man or woman
to Judge as to whether the state
ments made by Mr.. Sunday were
right or wrong. Hoping people
will see the error of their ways
before It is everlastingly too late,
l am, respectfully yours, Adolph
Cameron.

GRAVES BUSY
WITH HIS GAG
Especial to The Press)

OLYMPIA, Jan. Ex-senator
Graves of Spokane will soon intro
duce his bill restricting the sub.
jects to be treated In newspapers.
This Is sort of disease with the
senator from Spokane, and al
though It was defeated at the last
session he will make another try.
The bill will prohibit the publica.
ton of the details of crimes, lynch
ings and all sorts Of violence,
which tend to shock good taste OF
the standard set by Mr.. Graves.
Likewis:Sit will prevent the publ
cation .ir1. THY medical advertis-
lng, sucn s has always been
barred by The Press.
Some Of the features of the bill
meet with the approval generally
of legislators, while others do not.
Members whose sensibilities are
not so sensitive as those of the
Spokane senator have no objec-
lions TO the accounts of a lynching
and can see no reason why such
should be prohibited.
Then again, there Is an under
lying feeling that any attempt to
gag Or muzzle the press should be
opposed. While admitting that
there Is frequently abuse of the
liberty of the press, they assert
that this abuse. while unquestion-
ably wrong, Is nothing to the
wrongs that could be permitted
should the gag be slipped on. They
fear the entering wedge. The
Graves bill. innocent of harm,
could be added to from time to

time with the result that in the
end those who controlled the law
making machinery for the time be-
ing would be in control Of the
newspapers and therefore in a po-
sition to work their own free will
without the public being any the
wiser.
The elimination Of Objectionable
and fraudulent advertising will re-
ceive strong support, and there is
strong likelihood of a bill of that
intent being passed.

There is trouble brewing in

Moore. This platform has already
been drawn and is in favor of clos
ing the town tight.
Things went along all right UNI
til N. j. Laumer and E. o. Conner,
the other candidates for the nomin-
alton for mayor, heard of what was
brewing and they donned the war
paint as well. They propose now
to get into the fight and beat the
Pratt fellows at their own game
by insisting on the adoption of a
platform that will be the opposite
of what the Pratt boosters would
like to have Laumer was in the
field today stirring up his friends

senger's weight.
The average automobile is about
four times the weight of it's six
passengers.
The weight of the average horse
and buggy is about six times the
weight of it's two occupants. :,
The avearge motorcycle is about
as heavy as it's rider.
When We consider that each

1t is easy to realize that steam
travel, particularly of this special

expensive.
