A HANDSOME GIFT.
The Trophy Presented the West
Side Gnn Club
By Fred L. Palmer is a Mag
nificent Emblem.
Jack King is considering a proposition
to devote himself exclusively to wrest
ling. Tuomai Emerson of Eskridge has
offered to nroviie a trainer for him. Day
all expenses and tour Kansas, Missouri,
I Texas, Colorado and the west, meeting
J all comers. If everything is propitious
; and the wrestler gets into first-class con-
ditiou and is successful ia the west, he
J will be taken east.
' Eaiersoa is part Indian, and about the
middle of this mouth will receive about
(14,0X) from the government on that ac-
j count. Congressman Charles Curtis se
j cured the grant for him. Ha is anxious
I to become established among sporting
men.
"This is the best thing I ever had
! offered me," said King today. "I never
i have been able to hire a trainer or devote
myself exclusively to developing what
powers I may have. I am to begin the
: first of next mouth and the contract is to
i remain in effect a year. If I cannot
i come up in that time I might as well
! quit."
i Emerson agrees by the contract to
I back him against all comers.
King's next match will be with T. H.

cur at Hamilton hail Thursday night.
FRED PilMiE'S 1IANDSOHE GIFT.
I The Cup He Presented to the Topik.
Shooters Has Arrived.
The silver trophy pra3antod to the
West Side Gun club by Fred L. Palmer,
the John Watson of Topeka, has arrived
and surpasses in elegance of workmanship
and design all expectations.
it is of solid silver and stands between
twel ve and fourteen inches high. The
base is handsomely frosted as are the
two hammerless guns which furnish the
I ornamentation of one side of the cup.
i On the opposite side is a delicately en
gravad laudscape and on the top of the
i cover appears a rabbit, which serves as a
handie to the lid.
1 he cup is tha first one eve r donated
exclusively to Topeka trap shots, and is
greatiy superior to the one given by
Shooting and Fishing for the team cham
pionship of the state, which was won
from Topeka last winter by tae Leaven
; worth club.
Mr. Palmer thinks some of having
the rabbit removed from the cover and a
pigeon put in its place, as the trophy ia
to represent the live bird championship
of the city.
There will doubtless be a lively scram
: ble 'or the cup and the shooter who suc
: cead3 in winning it three times in sue
: cession and becomes the absolute owner,
I will be looked upon as very fortunate by
, the other club members if they do not
concede that ha is the real chain pion of

TOLD HIS FORTUNE.

Stump Is In Jail.
The few spectators ia police court this
morning almost had a fit when the name
of "A A. Robinson" was called, bnt they
recovered when the gentleman who ap
peared was one of color.
His case was similar to that of "Stump"
McMichael, who stutters.
With the kinks taken out of it Stump's
story was that Robinson, whose middle
initial had to be corrected to L, had
c-tlled at his hov.se. at Fifteenth and
Quincy streets, yesterday afternoon and
stump had "Jes' retch up and tuk down
a pack o' kyardn," with which he pro
ceeded to tell Robinson' fortune. He
did not tell the misfortune that would
happen immediately when the police
came in.

Rebellions Tramp In the City Jail
Will Sue For 100,000 Damages.
Contrary to their sworn word
given Saturday afternoon the five rebel
lious tramps in the city prison refused to
go to work this morning. And that isn't
all, they turned off the water.
The key to the water supply of the po
lice station is in the tramp cell down
stairs, and they found it this morning
just before Air. Disbjow got ready to
lave his hands. Mr, Disbrow was angry
but it didn't do any good, the tramps were
obstinate.
After half-an-bonr of this sort of thing
Chief Wilkersou went down stairs and
opening the door said in that quiet way
of his:
"Boys, if you don't turn that water on
I'll have to take you over to tho county
jail, handcuff you, put you in the dung
eon and turn on the steam."
"Why," said the boys, 'is the witer
turned off?" and they immediately
turned it on again.
One of them admitted that they be
longed to a labor organization known
as the "Brotherhood of Lilies," who toil
not neither do they spin, and thay could
not sacrifice their good standing in the
order by performing manual labor.
They were arrested for vagrancy last
week, and were fined $5 each. Their
time was up at 9 o'clock this morning,
but as they have not worked any they

They are very indignant at this, and
one of them says he won't stand it; that

Report That Great Iiritaln Seeks Control
of the Nicdragaaa Canal.
New York, Jan. 6. A special to a
local paper trom Washington says: A
more important issue than that over the
Venezuelan boundary may be raised be
tween the United States and Great
Britain if reports from Nicaragua shall
be confirmed by later developments.
The substance of these reports is that
British interests are reaching out for the
control of the Nicaraguau canal and that
the government is being urged to annul
the charter to the existing corporation.
If the efforts of British capitalists to
secure the annulment of the American
charter seem likely to produce tangible
results, representations of a serious na
ture are likely to be made the state de
partment of governments of Nicaragua
and Great Britain against extension of
the British infiulence iu the construction
of the canal.
Nicaragua is now without a diplo
matic representative in the United States,
I but full reports of events in that country
are coming to the state department

already sre exciting the anxiety of the
Maratime Canal company.

KILLING A BIRD.
How the Act Affected a Boy with a
Toy Gun.
A 10-year-old boy of Newtonville was
given a toy gun by his father, who
laughingly promised him $1 for every
crow he would shoot, says the Youth's
Companion.
Highly elated with his gun and san
guine of earning a small fortune by
shooting crows, the young sportsman
spent the great part of two days in a
field watching for the birds. Not a
crow came near him, greatly to his
disappointment, and he reported his ill
success to his father, who said, to
comfort him:
"Well, never mind the crows. I'll
give you half a dollar for any kind of a
bird you can shoot."
Early the next morning the boy, gun
in hand, took up his position in the
back yard to watch for sparrows. A
half dozen or more unwary birds soon
appeared to pick up the crumbs that he
had thrown out to lure them within
reach of a shot. At a movement on his
part the sparrows rose and the boy
fired.
One of the birds was hit and fell to
the ground, where it lay for a minute
fluttering its wings, and then became
motionless. The boy went forward,
picked it up and looked at it. The poor
little head hung limp the shot had
broken the sparrow's neck. For a mo
ment the boy stood contemplating the
dead creature in his hand; then he
turned and fled to the house.
"Oh, I've killed it! I've killed it,
mamma.'" he cried, in a shocked tone.
"It can't fly any more!" and all that
day his lament was, "Oh, I wish I
hadn't done it! I wish I hadn't done
it!"
His father, who had not supposed the
boy in any danger of hkting a bird,
tried to solace him with the half-dollar
and suggestions of what might be
bought with it.
"No, papa," was his sorrowful an
swer. "I don't want it. I wish it could
make the sparrow alive again. I
never thought it would be like that to
kill a bird!"
"And," said his father, in concluding
the story. "I was mere pleased at: the
tender feeling my boy displayed than I
should have been had he become the
best shot in the state."
Before Austerlits.
The evening and night were not ones
of repose for Napoleon nicely poised
combinations need careful watching.
For a time the uneasy but confident
Emperor passed from watch-fire to
watch-fire, encouraging and observing
his own men. With noisy enthusiasm
they besought him not to expose his
life on the morrow, and promised to
bring him a suitable bouquet for the an
niversary of his coronation. For a time
the whole camp was illuminated with
extemporized torches of hay. But,
though excited, the troops, as well as
their general, were confident; they un
derstood his casually uttered but care
fully considered words, which passed
from mouth to mouth: "While they
are marching to surround my right,
they will offer me their fiank." For a
time, also, he rode in the darkness to
reconnoitre the enemy's position, and
being convinced that no movement was
to be made before morning, he returned
to his tent about three and slept until
dawn.
He has been charged with having for
the first time shown cowardice at Aus
terlitz. This is because in a proclama
tion he promised not to risk his life,
as his men had requested, but only in
case they did their duty, and kept hie
word because they kept theirs. Bona
parte, the division general, and even
Bonaparte, the First Consul, had led his
soldiers where danger was greatest, but
Napoleon the Emperor, having won
his stake, had no need to take such
risks: having more to lose, he now for
the first time used the ordinary cau
tion of a man whose life is worth that
of many common men. It was only
what every great royal and imperial
general is accustomed to do. ("Life of
Napoleon," by Prof. W. M. Sloane, in
the Century). ,
(sirla Fined for a Kiss.
A New York city dispatch says that,
one night not long ago Cosias Drescler
was out late. He decided to go home
without an escort. He is good looking
and well dressed, but so modest in his
deportment that he thought if he
walked quickly he would be safe from
molestation. At Allen and Rivington
streets stood four pretty girls. Wrap
ping his coat around him he tried to
hurry past without being noticed.
"Ah, there!" said one of the girls.
Drescler screamed and ran. The girls
gave chase and surrounded him.
"Ain't he pretty?" said one.
Then two of them deliberately kissed
him. He struggled and fought, but
could not escape, and his silk hat was
smashed. The unfortunate man yelled
and a heartless police officer arrested
the four beauties.
"They're what's called the new wom
en," explained the officer to the judge,
the next morning. "They stand on the
corner and insult respectable men.
We've had many complaints from
mothers."
"What do you want me to do?" asked
the magistrate, addressing the plaintiff.
"Do you wish me to hold these prison
ers to await the result of your inju
ries?" Everyone roared with laughter.
"No," said Drescler, "what I'm after
is protection. Just because I'm good
looking I'm annoyed continually by
pretty girls. I want an example made
of these persons."
"It is certainly a fine state of affairs
s-hen a respectable young man cannot
v.-alk the streets of New York without
being publicly kisssd by a girl," said
the court. "To anyone who has sons
of his own," he added, "this case par
ticularly appeals."
The girls denied their guilt with
great emphasis. The court believed the
Dlaintiff and fined each of them $2.
WONTJALK.
Senatorial Leaders Have Very
Little to Sav
About the Call for Bonds Issued
Last Night.
IT IS TOO MUCH.
Senator Teller Thinks the
Amount is Too Large.
Private Subscriptions May Not
Be Enousrh.
Washington, Jan. 6. Senators did
not seem disposed to talk abont the bond
call issued by Secretary Carlisle. Dem
ocratic senators generally were non
committal Senators Harri3 and Vest,
both members of the finance committee,
said they had not read the call and had
nothing to say.
Senator Gorman said that the call
was all right; and was the same as the
first two bond issues by this administra
tion. There were not many Republican
senators about the capitol. Most of
them were reticent as to the call. Sena
tor Morrill, chairman of the finance
committee said that there was nothing to
say about the call, that it spoke for it
self. Senator Teller says he was gratified
that they had decided upon a popular
loan, and he had no doubt the people
would respond in a way to justify th9
course decided upon.
Mr. Teller did not believe that the en
tire sum of $iOO,000,OLHJ would be neces
sary. For himself he did not consider
that any bonds were demanded, and ha
thought that even from the president's
view a smaller sum than $100,000,000
would be sufficient.
The call was an entire surprise
to the house, for it had not
been expected to appear before the mid
dle of the week nor had its term3 been
anticipated. The plan is generally ap
proved by members of both parties who
believe there is a necessity for bonds and
those who are opposed to bond issues al
together, think that the call for bids is
much better than the arrangement with
the New York syndicate which was gen
erally expected.
There was some dissatisfaction express
ed because the president had not seen tit
to wait until the senate acted
on the house revenue bill, although
there is no expectation that the bond bill
will pass the senate. Among the Demo
cratic enemies of bonds, talk was heard
cf a resolution declaring the sentiment
of the house to be against their issuance,
but this was considered impracticable .13
weU as exceedingly unlikely Jo pass. Mr.
Cannon, chairman of the appropriations
committee said of the call: "As I under
stand it the proposed syndicate arrange
ments substantially looked toward plac
ing the bonds in the United States. If
these bonds were now ready for delivery
and the country understood that they
could be had for 110 or 112 which is be
low tha market price for similar bonds,
I have no doubt the banks would take
them to increase their circulation, using
the gold in their vaults to make pay
ments. I hope they will do so, as the
bonds run fcr thirty years, and can no
doubt be bought on a three per cent basis
and would yield a small profit to the
banks for circulation on that basis.
The announcement that the secretary
of the treasury had asked for bids for a
bond issue of $100,000,000 was something
of a surprise to the subordinate officials of
the treasury department, as no intima
tion of his purpose had been given to
any one- It is quite probable that no
one here outside of the president and
probably Secretary Olney knew of Secre
tary Carlisle's intention.
Indeed, it is believed the conclusion
was not reached until late yesterday
afternoon. The new bonds will not dif
fer in any respect from those issued to
the syndicate, and such as ar needed
after the supply now on hand has been
exhausted, will be printed from the old
plates.
Persons well qualified to judge of the
result of the issue do not look for
large subscriptions from private
individuals, and the opinion is
expressed that the syndicate's bid for the
entire issue will bo accepted. It is re
called that private subscriptions to the
first loan of $50,000,000 amounted to only
about $745,0j0, and to the iast loan to but
a tittle more, and as the bid submitted
by the syndicate contained the con
dition that they be awarded the
entire amounf, or none, left lhe gov
ernment little option iu the matter.
The last issue resulted in the payment
into the treasury of $85,116,244 in gold
for which the government issued 4 per
cent 30 year bonds to the amount of $6a,
315,400. The premium reahzed by the
government therefore was $2,8J0,S44, or
.04494 per cent, the investor realizing a
rate of interest of about .0375 per cent.
The market price of these bonds is now
about $114.
CO"GKESS31Siri'd VIEWS.
HoreOr Less Unfuvor;thle Criticism of the
Boud Issue.
Washington, Jan. 6. Mr. Walker, of
Massachusetts, chairman of the banking
and currency committee said: "When
the president has a chance to issue ten
year bonds and issues thirty year bends,
ha does ar. act that will be universally
condemned in the near future, if not to
day. The people will demand that these
bonds will be paid even at a considerable
premium before ten years and probably
within live, aud will execrate the men
who have bound them hand and foot for
thirty years."
Mr. Hepburn (Rap.. Ia.) this call places
Senator Hill in a rather queer light
after his assertions that nothing of the
sort was contemplated. It looks as
though his defense of the administration
was unauthorized.
Mr. Diugley, chairman of the ways
and means committee, declined to be
quoted. The general opinion of the
Republicans saems to be, however, an
approval of the determination of the
president to oiler the bonds to the
people, but regret was expressed that an
invitation was not exteuded to the public
to take the bonds at once. A general
fear was expressed that the d-i:ay
if a month before the result
of the offer could be aacer-

chance. .VJG lv:nsas Aven-.ls,
Wheat There was an easier feeling
at the opening this morning caused by
the government report issued Saturday
evening by the department of agricul
ture at Washington, wfe-ich gives the
yield of winter wheat as 261.224,000
bushels, aud the yield of spring wheat at
205.861,000 bushels, making the total
yield of 467,103,000 bushels as com
pared with their last estimate 01
423,000,000 bushels. The yield per acre
of winter wheat is given at 11.55 bushels,"
and for spring wheat as 18 bushels per
acre. Winter wheat area is given as 22,
606,322 acres, aud of spring wheat as 11,
433,010 acres.
Corn and Oats Corn showed consid
erable legitimate strength and was put
ud to 284 or tn8 May option on good
buying by commission houses.
There is much uneasiness manifested
that shipment are not going to com
mence until better prices are quoted.
The government report makes the
estimated yield per acre as 26.2, and
places the total crop at 2,134,139,000
bushels. The price is certainly low
enough to invite investment buying.
Oata are firm, in sympathy with corn.
Provisions Strong and higher on
for the Money.
