ling caught annually, the State has
passed law prohibiting their being
caught from Sept. LIST to May 1st of each
year. AS these fish, spawn in the fall,
it covers the entire bedding season,
thereby preventing the supply and in
crease becoming exhausted. I have
often wondered why our ministers re-
quired an annual vacation, but when
1 met 200 or 800 preachers at Petoskey,
each with tin Bible, containing
grasshoppers, in one hand ,anG asplen-
did trout pole in the other, the mys-
terry was solved. They have read of
the fellow who caught the fish having
q piece of silver in its mouth. So God
in his Infinite goodness, let's the sim
ners slide for a few weeks that his
chosen few may retire to these tram
quill retreats and try their skill on the
firny tribes. 'Tis true they catch fish
in endless numbers. but the halfbreeds
get the silver.
I suppose the gentle reader" is ex-
pecting big fish story, but my ex-
perience as yet has been limited, there
fore I append an extract from the
Houghton Gazette:
"a true fish story; OFT Stannard
Rock, Lake Superior, the other day,
Mrs. Jay A. Hubbell and Miss Mary
Harris of HoughtOn, and Miss Carrie
Emmons of Washington, d. c., in the

some of which weighed 25 pounds"

On Tuesday night the La Sale city council
abolished their police force, the Mayor refusing
all efforts at compromise. The philosophy OF
the movement is hard to determine certain it is
that same night Il couple of houses were robbed.
The Mayor and council both seem TO have sub
line indifference to the interests of the people
And it takes microscope for a locker to perceive
in what way the Mayor is any better than the
Press would have lis believe the aldermen are. A
letter in the Chicago Times Of yesterday throws
some light on the subject. which may be OF in.
ltcrest:
At the time of the first meeting of the council
under the Locey regime the mayors bond had
not been approved by the council, who held that
therefore he was not qualified to act. however,

the old night police force and sent to the coun-
ell the names of those Of his friends whom he de-
sired installed At the first regular meeting held
Thereafter the council refused to confirm his APP
pointces, under the plea that the special meeting
| was illegal The council then reelected the old
force, and the mayor would not recognize them
Thus has it been for the past three months, and
neither police could obtain orders on the trcasu
rcr 4. . The troubles between the con
tending parties chiefly arose from the mayors as.
sumption OF the privilege Of being entitled to
form the various committees, thereby giving him
an opportunity to carry ont the scheme of giving
the printing Of the council proceedings to the La
Sale Press The council, having previously form.
ed their own committees, and havingso amended
the rules of order governing the meetings of their
body, withdrew this delegated privilege from the
hands of the mayor and refused to acknowledge
his committees. The fight has been the bitterest
the city ever witnessed and the excitement is at
present intense in regard to the abolition OF the
entire police force leaving the city at the mercy
of dcspcradocs and tramps, who are abundant in
these parts. It is feared that La Sale has but
