Rice Knew His Business.

Washington Critic
A Washington man tells the fol-
lowing story about Dan Rice, the fa-
nous circus clown and Snowman.
Rice had a show out in some of the
wild Western districts, and he learned
thai there was conspiracy ON foot
to mob the circus. That used to be
one of the greatest drawbacks to the
circus business. Every once in a
while the roughs OF a community
would get together and make a
strenuous effort to clean out the
show. 1t is SO to a certain extent
now, and this is ONE cause for the
army OF apparently superfuous peo-
pie that a circus carries with it. Rice's
people had opened the performance
to good crowd ofpeople, but itsoon
became evident that the attack was
being organized. Dan Rice cleared
the ring and made a speech, 4sGen-
tleman, said he, Tam here with my
show to entertain you You know
what the price is and you don't
have to come if you dent want
to. / understand that there is plan
on foot to mob my circus. Now, /
want to make a proposition to you.
Pick out the best man you've got. I
don t care who he is, and all the rest
of you keep off. I'll fight him if he is
as big as a house, and il don tWhip
him I'll give you all your money
back and the rest of the show for
nothing He won the sympathy Of
the crowd, who broke intoenth usias-
tie applause at this exhibition of
nerve. Any riotous disposition was
promptly suppressed. The boldness
OF the step, however, was somewhat
modified by the fact that Dan Rice
was one of the best rough -ttnm-
bic fighters In the country

A Shark Killed by Tobacco.

In a short time we had caught a
nice mess of small snappers, from ten
to thirty inches long, and we were
having a real good time. We had
not fshed very long, however, before
a large shark put in an appearance
and stopped our sport. We first
knew of his presence by his greedily
Swapping off the fish from one of my
neighbor's lines, having followed it
up from the bottom. He executed
this performance several times, and
then the snappers stopped biting en-
tirely. Not even a nibble could we
get, SO we hauled in our lines and
commenced topay our attentions to
the shark.
He was a monstrous fellow about
fifteen feet long, and he kept smim-
ming round and round the vessel,
sometimes on top of the water and
sometimes down deep below us, but
always at a respectful distance. His
reddish brown body could be plainly
seen through the clear transparent
green water, and you may be sure
that he was the cvnosure of all eyes.
A great many plans for his capture
were discussed. but none appeared
practicable within our limited means.
The engineer suggested that if the
shark would give him time he would
forge a proper hook and chain, but
as the shark was unable to give him
a guarantee he abandoned the pro-
ject.
While we were thus talking, I no
ticed the native pilot every now and
then throwing overheard one of the
snappers we had so recently caught,
and as the current carried it a little
distance clear of the vessel the shark
would gobble it down, and, in fact,
the intervals were so regular that
Mr.. Shark seemed impatient when
the regularity was broken by little
delay. We saw that our pilot had
some ultimate object in view and it
| drew our attention to him. AS he
was born and raised on this coast
and had probably served his pilots
apprenticeship as a fisherman, he
knew how to deal with his inveter-
ate foe, the shark.
After having thrown over ten small
fish he selected another a little larger
than the others and with a stick OF
wood rammed a roll of chewing to
bacco, nearly as large as a mans
| hand, down into it's belly and pressed
its throat together again. He held
it ready to throw, and as the shark
came up, anxiously looking for his
fish, he tossed it too him, and as il
barely touched the water the shark
| turned over on it's back and sucked
it IN. The shark then swan off as us
ual to the side of the vessel and then
below us, and was apparently rising
again IN expectation of another fish
when the nicotine commenced it's
work. His struggles and contor-
| lions were terrible to behold, as he
darted here and there in blind rage
and vomiting blood, but as he swan
or was carried by the current away
from us his struggling grew gradual
I ~ less until it ceased altogether.
The tobacco had killed Forest
| and Stream.

We have been furnished a copy OF
a communication that has been sent
to tho Independent for publication.
Tho author, thinking that the errone-
ous report Of the proceedings Of che
county Alliance published in Che lR-
dependent last week should be cor
rected, desires 10 give the correction
as wido publicity as possible, and
therefore sends it TO the ADVOCATE.
The following is the communication.
Editor INdependcNt:--How was

gard to proceedings in 90. Alliance

your version.
You say: "Wo understand, however,
that with many delegates absent, and
others not voting, q set OF resolutions,
or a platform" was rushed through
which is TO be q guide for candidates
desiring Alliance votes" This set Of
resolutions or platform, was passed
before the resolution you partially
printed, aud during the whole pro-
ceedings, until after this COdo ofprin-
ciples was adopted there WIS the

dicted.
If this whipping in" business is 80
distasteful to you why don't you lot

holy horror at anything that Smacks

one Of the best Offices in the county

on che proceedings of our meeting

readers Of that paper thatit has pro-
icsscd great solicitudc For the welfare
Of the Alliance, indeed il has been
publicly stated by somo Of its friends
that it would like h. become our or

how is the following to bC viowcdl
"We understand showever thNt with

to swallow will simply recOil and tho
result will be evil and only evil to the
Order. It's pity but it's true"
Now the first question that arises
in the mind OF every member Of the
last county alliance is, was the editor
misinformed or does hc lie7. That the
above is ~ untrue, as unjust and as
mean a pcrv@sion Of the proceedings
hnd, as it is possible to make, is
known to all that were present. It is
true there were brothers present that
were opposed to any action being ta-
ken by tho Alliance other than d pos
Tive declaration that We would do
nothing, but there never was prop
Osition made in the Alliance that was
in a more hopeless minority. 1t is
truo there was some opposition made
to the adoption of the Finance and
tariff sections bat tho strength mani
tested among the delegates did not
indicate that tho Alliance would be
seriously injured by tho "spewers"
