Schrapp was pro- claimed the champion laugher, but that didn't stop him and an electric bat tery was brought into play. Just as the laugh had rounded out twelve hours the trader was given a heavy electric shock, the Ina ha" ceased and Schrapp fell over exhausted. It was thought for a time that the man would die, but now he shows no ill effects from the laugh.

 Did you see me smash His Honor?
 Did you watch that wicked hook? Lord! It did me good to land it;
 Every judge is just a crook Nailed him when he wasn't looking, Chuckled at his pained surprise; One more ermine on the ash-heap;
 Hit him hard between the eyes. That's the way to win your battles; Punch before their guard is up. That is how I earned my laurels-
 Learned when Hector was a pup. Always catch them where it dazes, That's the trick which means the

 And I talk the way I counter
 Every word between the 'Ts."

HAPPY" AND "CoONEY" GONE

Prof l. T. Warner, the veteran snowman whose equine and canine per- formers have been features at many fairs and carnivals throughout the country, has lost two trick dogs, Happy and "Cooney'', for which he has refused $500. Yesterday morning while visiting at J. J. Eckel's saloon at Bulls Head, he lost the two animals. They had been doing their stunts for the patrons of the place a few mo- ments before he missed them. Prof. Warner believes the canines are too clever to be lost, and he cannot help arriving at the conviction that they have been stolen. He has offered $100 reward for their return to 23 Harrison street, where he is visiting in this city.
 One of the animals is a mongrel The other is a cross between an Eng fish setter and a water spaniel

PEARY Under
WRONG NAME
CAPTAIN osBoN DENouNcEs ARC.
TIC EXPLORER AS A BRAe-
CART AND EGoTIsT.
Letter Was Addressed to the Sub
Committee Who Recently Acted
Against Making Peary
Rear-Admiral.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Denouncing
Robert f. Peary, the explorer, as a
selfish egotist" and "a braggart" :"
Captain B. S. Osbon, secretary of the
Arctic Club of America, has written
a letter to the subcommittee of the
house naval committee, approving the
latter's action in voting down the pro-
position to make Peary a rear-admiral
The committee has received large
number of letters, some condemning
and some approving it's action.
Captain Osbon says in his letter:
The action of the subcommittee on
naval affairs in the matter of civil
Engineer Robert E. Perry mot Pears
for that is an assumed name) deserves
the heartiest commentator of every
American citizen who values justice
and respects the United States navy
'sro have given this selfish egotist,
this braggart, the rang of rear-admiral
would be foul blot on the records Of
congress and an insult to the navy of
the United States.
1T would have disgusted millions
of our citizens who have no confidence
in this alleged pole hunter and Arctic
fur trader and story teller, who for
nearly quarter of century has liv.
ed off the people and sailed under
naval rank to which he has no legal
right and for which he should have
been severely reprimanded by the
navy long ago"
Another letter from Portland, Me-,
the home of Mr.. Peary, written by an
executive officer in the naval reserve
of that state, says:
1T should be gratifying to all think.
ing citizens that there is a group of
men in Washington who, while ready
suitably and generously to recognize
the distinguished achievements of Mr..
Peary, refuse to be actuated or Ia.
fiuenced by fanatical sentimentalism.
Another letter from Boston takes
the committee to task for its course
and saws:
Your amazing statements about
Lieutenant Peary seem inoomprehens.
ible. All nations are waiting on the
United States, by courtesy, before
showering honors on Peary Hersohel

thousand million miles father away

HOG PRICES
TAKE UPSHOOT
HIGHEST PRICES EVER RECEIVED
PAID IN KANSAS CITY
YESTERDAY.
Sudden Leap in the Price of HOGS
Due to Demand of Eastern Mar
.kets and Lack of Hogs.

Chicago, Feb. 1.-THE widespread
agitation against the price price of
meat has failed to check the advance
in hog prices, live hogs at the stock
yards here selling today at the high
est mark. with one exception, of the
last forty years. The new high point
recorded today was s927h per 100
pounds, and predictions were freel,
made that within few weeks the so
level will have been passed.
Simultaneous with the bulge in live
hogs, the price of the products made
marked advances, pork for May de-
livery selling today at $2365 per bar
rel. This is the highest price touched
since the Civil War. with the excep-
ton of 1887. when the price was fore
ed up to $24 during what is known as
The Armour corner
Continued light receipts at all west
ern packing centers and an unusually
active demand by eastern shippers
are the reasons for the persistent up
ward trend.
