—State Fish and Game Warden Geo. A. Lincoln 1B calling particular atten­tion to the laws governing tbe ship ment of game. It is not only a viola­tion of tbe Inter-state law to ship any game, caught or killed, in violation of local laws, but it is also a violation of the law for the agent of a common car­rier to receive it. Game properly killed or captured may be shipped, provided the packages are plainly marked BB to contents and shipper's name. The failure to observe this feature renders the shipment liable to Belzure and the shipper to heavy penalties. Four-fifths of all states prohibit the export of deer at any season; all but tbree of the aoutbern states prohibit tbe export of quails, and practically every state pro­hibits tbe export of prairie chickens. These restrictions apply more particu­larly to the shipment of game to the market but there are some features of the law which it will pay every hunter to'become perfectly familiar with.—In­dependence Bulletin- Journal.

Tbe Manchester Lecture and Enter­tainment Society, a corporation not for pecuniary profit, has been duly incor­porated under the laws of the state of Iowa, tor the purpose indicated by its name.

The following are tbe names of the incorporators: Henry W. Tuttle, Bur­ton Clark, E. S. Moore, W. D. Mcln tosh, W. E. Gildner, Wm. Graham, C. H. Atkinson, H. M. Bradley, P. E. Triem, H. J.

At a meeting of tbe Incorporators, the first ton of those named above were elected trustees to serve one year, tbe second ten aa truBtees to serve two years and tbe last named ten BB trustees to serve three years. Tbe affairs of tbe corpor ation will be generally supervised by tbe board of thirty trustees.

Tbe board of trustees elected the fol­lowing officers for tbe ensuing year: Rev. H. W. Tuttle, president; E. M. CBrr, vice president; E. G. Dittmer, secretary and L. Matthews, treasurer.

The articles of incorporation provide that the active management of tbe cor­poration shall be vested in an executive committee, consisting of the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and tbree trustees. Tbe board elected the following named trustees to serve as members of tbe executive committee: C. Atkinson, W. D. MclntoBh and W. H. Norris.

The Association has contracted witb tbe Redpath Lyceum Bureau for a course of six entertainments, at tbe agreed price of $600. The entertain­ments will extend over a period of about six months, and tbe time between each has been as equally divided as it was practicable for tbe contracting par­ties to agree upon. «

Tbe following are brief mentions oi tbe attractions in the order in which they will appear at tbe City Opera House.

On Oct. 18th the course will be opened by tbe Lotus Glee Club and Mrs. Smitb. This club enjoys the distinction of a European success, and the lovers of good music can depend upon an artistic treat. One of tbe most taking parts of the Club's program will be tbe numbers assigned to Mrs. Minnie Marshall Smitb, whose readings and recitations have won for her unbounded praise from tbe press of the country

Adrian M, Newans, an Impersonator, who haB tbe^reputatlon of being an art­ist in tbe highest sense of the word, will be here on the 21st ot Nov. to make UB cry and laugh according to his will, or at least to demonstrate his skill as an impersonator.

The third entertainment of tbe course will be on Dec. 20tb. On tbat date Ed Amherst Ott will deliver one of biB noted lectureB, probably "Sour Grapes, or Heredity and Marriage." He IB

president of the Ott Schools of Expres­sion, of Chicago, and is a recognized authority on oratory, use of the voice and bow to gesture.

We believe tbat a unique treat is in Btore for the patrons of tbe Society on Jan. 6,1903. Germatne, the great magi­cian accompanied by a talented company is under contract to be here at that time. Tbose who attend the Germaine enter­tainment may reasonably expect an evening of bewildering and delightful amusement.

Jacob A. Rils, "tbe most useful citi­zen in New York," a Dane by birth, a carpenter by trade and a newspaper man by profession will tell about "The Battle with the Slum" on March 7th, Mr. Rlls IB a man who has earned a national reputation as a worker in the slums. He is a man wbo has done something—who has done a great deal to better the condition of the poor of the great city in which he lives. Some features of hiB lecture excel everything else in the list of attractions. His
