 ing instincts of the members. After each shoot the medal will be worn by the winner until the next contest takes place. The same man can not wear the trophy twice during the year but at the end of the year those who have won one event will be qualified to en- ter the final shoot which will deter mine the final possession of the medal. The shoot last Friday was won by T. L. Eden, who killed 21 birds out of a possible 25. The further contests will take place the second Friday of each month
 A DAYLIGHT BURGLARY-There was a daylight burglary some time yesterday in the eastern outskirts of the city. Two men by the names of Prickett and Hearst live in a tent two blocks east of the end of the street car line. Both are employed at the asylum. On their return home yester- day evening they found that practi- cally everything in the tent had been carried off. The stolen articles com prise a brown suit of clothes. bought at the New York Store. Phoenix: a blue serge suit, made by M. Born & Co, Chicago. "F. Hearst" on inside coat pocket: black Stetson hat South ern Kansas Supply Co.,, E1gin, Kan sas.' on sweat band; pair No. s tan shoes. a yellow mercerized silk shirt, necktie almost same color. pair light gray trousers. pair brown striped pants, a S2 Ingersoll watch, a Star safety razor in black box case. a raw hide watch fob with hair on and steers head and buckle of pearl, a leather suit case with "F.

The tracks show that two men burglarized this place. They probably carried the stol- en articles away in the suit case and had part of them wrapped up in the bed spread. No one in that vicinity noticed anybody about the tent during the day. Anyone having seen a man or two men carrying bundle will con- fer favor on the sheriffs office by giving information.

MAJOR HANSON HoME-Maior E,


 M. Lamson returned home yesterday from visit of five weeks in Chi cago, Waukegan, IL, and other points in that section. He went east partly on account of the illness of his mothr CT, who suffered a stroke of paralysis and partly in connection with the set clement of the estate of his late broth CT. Ernest C. Lamson. His mother he says, is considerably improved The weather. Major Lamson says, was very bad most of the time while he was away and the spring is very backward. The buds are only now beginning to swell on the oak and maple trees and the cottonwoods are breaking into leaf. During the five weeks of his absence he wore his overcoat every day but four and on those four days it was hot enough to go without shirt if temperature were the only thing considered in the wearing of clothes. They were reg ular sweltering days. not so high ther- mometer, but decidedly humid On the first of May he witnessed the big gest snow storm he has seen in ten years and the day was very raw and En route home he pass ed through the big storm that re- gently passed through the middle
