About nifty Of Knights fishermen went down
the river this morning to tho nshlng grounds.
The season is now beginning. They were
towed down In boats pulled by the tug Fannie
Gilbert.

dition. IL has not been cleaned for years.
There Is wooden pavement beneath the mud

Mr.. George Mattlngly's condition was re-
ported TO be much improved this morning. 1t
10 believed that he is slowly recovering, which

oCHrLTREE ON BISMARCK.
A Taste of what There IL In store
for Old his. and His Releasing.


A CRITIC reporter dropped into the
House Committeeman on Agriculture yes
terday and found tho fiery-headed states
man from Texas, Colonel Tom Ochiltree,
entertaining Congressman Hatch and Green,
members of the committee, with speech
on his Lasker resolution. Toms voice
rolled out, even and loud, like the roaring
of western tornado. He firmly avowed
and qualified it by an oxpletive that he
wrote the resolution at his desk after con-
sulting with Representative Curtin, whom
he had known in st. Petersburg, and who
was chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. He said he regretted giving old
Bismarck so much prominence before the
world, but" said the arm-haired Tom,
"I'll give him tho toughest meal of bologna
sausage he ever ate before / get through
with him if he don't lookout. People may
say many things about me which are both
true and untrue. but I'll be id IL they
can say am fool and tell the truth, and
don't YOU forget it,"

THE WHISKY INTEREST.
Another Effort 10 be Made 10 Pas
the bonded Spirits Bill.

Representative Willis says that another
effort to pass the bill extending the bond
ed whisky period will be made within the
next four days, Immediately after the pas
says there is an understanding that no APP
preparation bill will be reported to antago-
nize the measure, until vote on it has
been secured. The only appropriation bill
that could be used in that way is the Agri-
cultural Appropriation bill reported from
the Committee on Agriculture.

Dynamite and Internal Machines.

By direction of the President the follow
ing important circular concerning exporta-
lions of internal machines aud dynamite
from this country has been issued by the
Attorney-Gener to United States Attor-
neys and Marshals:
1t is reported that certain persons are aid
ing in the prosecution OF helnous crimes by
chipping 10 foreign ports explosives danger
ous In the highest degree to life and property.
No proof has been adduced that this rumor IA
founded upon fact, and the President cannot
believe its truth. The honor Of this Nation,
however, requires that II should not be open
to the imputaton, unfounded though It boz OF
the slightest appearance OF tolerating such
crimes, whether TO be committed against our
people or those of other countries.
Your attention 10 therefore called TO Sections
1858, $3.50, 1855, 1878 and 1870 OF the Re-
vised Statutes Of the United States, which
regulate the shipment OF explosives and the
punishmeht OF those who infringe their pro-
Visions, and You are instructed to be dlligent
in your efforts 10 prevent the offenses de-
scribed and to detect and prosecute those
who have or may commit them.

Gut OF Love ana Ont OF Debt.
OF happy men, the happiest yet,
Is he that's out OF love and debt,
Who owes no kiss TO womankind,
Who has no duns 70 craze HIS mind
With heart and thought and conscience rree.
Where is there man more blest than he2
"Out OF love and out OF debit"
Motto none will Ger regret.
To all surroundings recOnGlled,
He sleeps "a sweetly as a child;
By neither love nor debt distressed,
His dreams but glOrify his rest.
He never breads the morn 20 sec,
For days with days In peace agree.
"Out OF love and out OF don't"
Motto none viii e'er regret.
Who's had his ehare of debt and love
Knows what the peace they rob him Of
And, once relieved OF love aud debt,
HIS slavery never can forget,
No longer VIII he bend the knee,
But sing the pmans OF tho FREQ.
"Out OF love and out OF debt"
Motto none Will Ger regret.
For all the bliss that love can give,
There's more OF woe with love 20 livoi
He plucks the perfect thOrnless rose
Who, honortng manhood, no man owes
No love, no debt, ah there's the key
or llfo for him who'd happy be.

The Matches Made in Sweden,


Every one has seen the Swedish
matches and wondered at the quaint in
scription on the top of the box: "Tand-
sticker, tanda acten svafel och fosfor." "
Few, however, are there who, when
travelling in Sweden, in the home of
the tandstickers, leave the fjords,
rocks and frs for a day and trace
the match back to its source. And vet
it would more than repay a days
sojourn at Jonkoping to visit the
factory whence proceed not small
part of the light of the world. The
latest novelty, only at work for about a
month, is an enormous engine, which
daily produces 100000 boxes of
Swedish matches. This wonderful
machine receives the raw material,
namely, blocks of wood, at one end, and
after while g ives up at the other the
matches neatly arranged in their boxes
to be distributed to the uttermost ends
of the world. The wood which in the
course of last summer was brought to
Jonkoping to be made into matches
filled twenty steamers and eight sailing
vessels

The toddy was brewed and retrieved. The
whisky bottle was a large one, the supply of

To one accustomed to the common
sense plan on which American cities are
generally laid out, the zig-zag routes
taken by Partisan boulevards are an
eternal vexation. For the fl. st month
or two man swears little when he
finds broad avenue bring up plump
against a stone wall, With no means of
egress, and nothing to do but to retrace
his steps; but after time no idiosyn-
Grassy in the boulevards surprises him.
The whole city is made up of squares,
whence half a dozen streets converge,
and cul de sacs This fact, together
with the cheerful custom of changing
the names of streets every month or
two, as we'll as giving several names to
different divisions of the same avenue,
keeps the local police busy directing
English and American tourists to their
hotels.

made my first trip without knowing
any more about the business than you

on after his first dive, for he has suf-
fered a pain that you land-lubbers
know nothing of. Take two sharp
pencils and force them steadily into
your ears and you will have pretsy
fair idea of the pain that shoots through
the head of diver the first time he's
lowered. He gets used to it in time,
and doesn't feel it much unless let down
over fifty feet, and then it comes
a-shoutin'. Once at the bottom you can
stop it in jiffy by bending over, set
ting your teeth and swallowing air like
hog, through your nose.
There's one thing we can't get used
to, though, and that's the perspiration.
You can't wipe it off and it feels as if a
thousand flies were crawling over and
feeding on mans face. But itching
aside, would as soon have air pumped
