Stop SpearinQ.

One of the wisest pieces of legislation
adopted by the legislature of Michigan at its
last session was an amendment to the law
for the protection of fish. The statute, as
amended, makes it unlawful, at any time, to
kill fish by the use of dynamite or any other
explosive substance, or by the use India
cookie, or any other substance that has
tendency to stupefy the fish, 1t also makes
it unlawful to spear or shoot any fish from
the first day of March to the first day of
October, inclusive, in any of the waters of
the state, except the great lakes, the st.
Clair and Detroit rivers. 1t is also unlawful
to take, at any time, any fish with seines or
nets in any of the waters of the state, except
those above mentioned. The provisions of
the law extend to all kinds of fish except null
let's, suckers, red-sides and surgeons whichit
is lawful to spear or take in dip-nets up to the
first day of June. The penalty for each an d
every violation of this statute is fine of not
more than one hundred dollars, or impris-
onment in the county Jail not over sixty
days, in the discretion of the court. vide

The Outlook.

Owing to the innumerable local issues
that enter into the spring elections, 1t is
difficult matter to determine from them, the
drift of political sentiment among the peo-
pie. There have been marked republican
gains in many localities throughout our state.
and it seems evident that with good tick
ct, judiciously selected, and with anything
like full vote, Michigan is still safely re-
publican, even against the combined efforts
of the democratic and greenback parties.
Nevertheless, it is not safe to remain wholly
apathetic and let matters take care of them
selves. The republican party should be
thoroughly organized, ready for the fray and
armed and equipped at all points. And it is
none too early to begin preparations for the
fall campaign, which will soon be upon us.
Republican clubs should be organized in
every town, yes, in every school district.
There should be no delay in this matter.
The political predictions of every voter
should be known, and doubtful and waver-
ing ones looked after and furnished with
such literature and documents as will tend
to confirm them in a belief in the truth of
republican doctrine. Ii is only by complete
and thorough organization that the full
strength of the republican party can be
polled. This secured, an overwhelming re-
publican success is certain. So far as Van
Buren, County is concerned, the result of
the recent elections in the several different
townships, is strong assurance that she
will add another to her list of republican
victories that has remained unbroken since
the organization of the party in 1854. The
returns indicate that nearly all the townships
in the county may be safely relied upon for
republican majorities. True, the opposition
has secured as many members of the board
of supervisors as have the republicans but
most of them were elected in republican
towns and by the aid of republican votes.
A close inspection of the vote shows that
there are not more than two, or at the out
side three townships that are likely to give
opposition majorities at general election,
and, even in these, there is good fighting
chance for republican victory. With good
state, legislative and county tickets in the
field, together with thorough organization,
Van Buren, County can easily retain her
proud position as the banner republican
county of the lower peninsula.

The Rurker Case Affirmed.

The supreme court has affirmed the case
of the People VS.. Marsh and w. X. Barker.
Justice Morse filed dissenting opinion.
Thus ends the most stubbornly contested
criminal case ever tried in this county, q
fitting finale TO one of the most outrageous
murders ever perpetrated. Nothing short of
executive clemency can save the murderers
from serving out the sentence of the law.
The good citizens of Van Buren, county will
rejoice at the result which adds an addition
al safeguard to human life in our state. A
few more such convictions and sentences
would lessen the record of crime that has
disgraced our state during the past few
years.

The delay has been caused by certain COM
plications which arose in reference to the
contract with Mr.. Woodbury.. That con-
tract has been cancelled, and stock subscribed
to new organization composed exclusively
of our own citizens, and the company will
erect its own building instead of having it
built by Chicago parties. BY this action

AN INDIAN LEGEND.
The p Passamaquoddies' Poetic Notion q
the Nature of Thunder.

The Passamaquoddies' Poetic Notion o
the Nature of Thunder.
The Passamaquoddes still cling to
their old and poetic notion of the nature
of thunder. They believe that the
rumble of the thunderstorm and the
flashes of the lightning are the demon
strations of thunder spirits who are
playing ball and shooting their arrows
in the heavens. There is a tradition
that Passamaquoddy Indian one day
expressed Il desire that he might become
"a thunderer." All at once his COM
panions saw him mounting to the sky
in the smoke of the camp fire. He was
taken up to the abode OF the thunders,
placed in long box. and by some
mysterious process invested with the
properties and existence of thunder
spirit-or, as Louis Mitchell puts, it, he
was '.thunderiied. He lived for seven
years among the thunders, played ball
with them in the sky, shot his cleaning
arrows with them at the bird they ara
always chasing toward the south, mar
ried a female thunder spirit, and pur-
sued an active and contented life OF
thunder and lightning.

ment of the Passamaquoddies; there
was an unusual and frightful conten-

WlNTERlNG VEGETABLES.

How tho Products of tho Garden Can be
Kept Through the Cold Season.
Only few vegetables can be wintered
outdoors in the North without protec.
ton. Parsnips are among the excep-
tional vegetables which the winter does
not destroy. and, except for use while
the ground is frozen, may be left in the
soil. Satisfy or vegetable oyster is OF
similar nature, but beets, turnips and
carrots will not stand excessive cold.
To retain the fresh, crisp flavor they
should bs taken up as late rs possible
and placed in cool cellar or in pits
with earth and straw enough over them
to prevent freezing. The latter is the
method most in vogue with market gar
deners, who usually know how best to
present their vegetables in the finest
condition. Artificial heat in any form
spoils the flavor of vegetables gener-
ally. The sweet potato is an exception,
and will rot in temperature
below fifty degrees. while dryness does
not iniure it. Cabbages may be pulled

NOT AN EARTHQUAKE.
a Remarkable landslide Involving an
Area of Two Square Miles.

n Remark kRble Lanu-SI0e involving an
Area of Two Square Miles.
The United States Geological Survey
has learned from Mr.. C. w. Cross, en-
gagged in field-work at Denver, Col, the
part 'culars of a remarkable landslide
near Cimarron, Gunnison County, which
was described in the local papers as an
earthquake. Prof. Farnham, of the
Nebraska State Normal School, who
chanced to be in the neighborhood, had
personally visited the scene of the sup
posed earthquake; annd when he called
upon Mr. Cross. and described the ap-
pearance of the region, the tissures
formed, etc, the latter inferred that
serious disturbance must have occurred
along the line of faulting on the west
side of the Trident mesa, indicated on
the Hayden maps. AS soon as practi-
cable, Mr.. Cross went to Cimarron He
found the locality about nine miles
south of that town, on the east side
of the west fork of the Cimarron
river. Between the two forks of tho
Cimarron is n mesa capped by eruptive
rock. the valleys on either side being
eroded out of cretaceous rocks, appar-
emily the clays of the Colorado group.
The area involved eXtenls from tho
base of the cliffs of eruptive rock form
ing the top of the mesa, down the slopes
toward the valley bottom, nearly to the
edge of the belt of timber. Such a
crumpling of the surface had taken
throwing down forests in mex
tricabe confusion, pushing the ground
up into ridges, and leaving fissure-liko
depressions-that the assumption by
untechnical persons of an earthquake
as the cause was not surprising; but,
after two-days' examination, Mr..
Cross satisfied himself that there had
been no earthquake, but a remarkable
landslide, involving an area Of nearly
| two square miles. 1t was evident that
the surface of the ground had be
come loosened from the underlying
clay beds, probably in con-
sequence of the sepage of water.
| and that Il movement of the area, start
ing at its upper end. had been thereby
instituted in the direction of the mesa.
The lower portion having moved less.
or not at all, the ground there had been
most thoroughly ridged, tissured, COM
pressed and overlapped, in such a man
little ponds drained and new ones
formed, and the courses of small
streams changed. Ranchmen living
near by had preceived no tremor or
other evidence OF earthquake disturb
ancc, nor could they tell when the
movement took place; but they agreed
in saying that the rainfall had been un,
usually heavy. Evidences We're found
| of similar land-slides of earlier date, at
various places along the valley, and il
seems clear that such slides must have
| played an important part in shaping out
the valley depression. Science.
