BLUE RIBBONS >FLUTTERINC
Keen Race for Prizes at Both Poultry
and Dog Shows.
CAPT. wHITEsT0NE PROUD CANINE
Beautiful Setter Keeps Up Pace in
Pointers Class-Omaha Fanicers
Win Prizes in Poultry
Exhibit.

Captain Whitestone, the beautiful setter
owned by w. A. Pixley swept the boards
at the dog show of the Nebraska Kennel
club in the pointers class. This dog has
won many times in field trials and has also
made good on the bench. He had some
strong competitors, but managed to carry
off honors in all the classes in which
member Of the canine fraternity and has
the best decorated bench at the show.
The judges are working fast in the
poultry branch of the show and many
awards have been made. The birds seem
to bear their honors we'll and those with
the blue ribbons swell with pride as the
merry throng passes in review
The vicious Jap dog has been placed in a
woven wire cage so he may not be able
to. harm passersby. He Is ferocious as
he looks and growls and snarls and bites
at the wire, trying to force his way out
TO make light meal Of some dainty NOR
sci of humanity. lie is, in truth, a man
eater.
Omaha Fanciers Capture Prizes.
Omaha owners are doing fairly we'll in
capturing DJultry prizes, although the
competition from abroad is pretty stiff.
Omaha people have learned that they have
to have a pretty good bird in order to
carry home the bacon. Even the Mandy
Lee farm, with 5000 beautiful white Leg
horns, was not able to win the first prize
for cock, although the farm took down
many other ribbons.
Several birds that were given away as
freshly Matched incubator chicks at last
years show, are ready for the judges to
decide which is the best in order to take
down the $25 cash prize. Chickens are being
hatched this year in the incubators and
are given away. These birds may be
brought back to the show next year and II
! they win will be given a $25 prize and il
| they take first prize the Mandy Lee farm
! has out standing offer for the bird.
Competition is keen for prizes offered
both by the Transmississppi Poultry as
ISOLATION and the Nebraska Kennel club
for, after all, while the owners like tC
have their pets placed before the admirinl
spectators at the Auditorium show, they
really prize the ribbons and medals ant
cups much more, The prize list in botl
departments is large and the prizes arr
valuable and well worth the efforts of thu
| owners.
Exhibitors at the show are of two classes
the raiser, who is breeding fancy poultr!
| for profit, and the owner, who grows higf
grade stock because he loves the birds
/ The same thing applies to the dogs, al
though The professional breeders are il
greatly less proportion.
Several high class dogs have arrived a
the show a little late because of the della,
| in trains There are now nearly 250 dog
at the show and there are surely som
beauties. Some of the larger classes o
dogs had been judged earlier and tn
others were judged last evening, whel

Nine degrees below zero at a. m. was
the authentic report of the frosty record

Temperatures were nearly stationary last

Yesterdays Stock Market Duler at

New York, Feb. 2.-The stock mar,
ket in New York today was largely
q professional affair and it was ruled

The professional element was chary
Of fisking short sales in view of yes.

LIQUIDATION induced by the consider

That decline, in fact, has built up
a short interest Of considerable pro
portions and room traders found a
fulcrum in tn enecessities Of those
uncovered shorts for lifting prices.
They worked therefore, on the long
side Of the market.
There was nothing to show that
these operations We're supplemented
in any important way by the general
outside demand for stocks. The mar
kct was duler, at times during the
day. than any time since the first
Of the year.
Some Importance was attached to
the sharp advance in the price of
copper warrants in the London mar
ket. the first that has occurred in
many days, druing which the prices
OF the metal were Internationally
downward, Copper mine sharct
abroad felt the advantage Of this
showing and the effect was reflected
here.
Iron and steel industrIals were
higher in the market. The feature
of the incoming monthly reports Of
railroad earnings ror December is
an occasional item Of operating cost
in which is shown an increase over
the similar outlay in December of
1907.
These increases are significant
because, although the gross earnings

been no adequate economies effected
In operating cost
The California attitude on the Jap
