BRAZILIAN POLITICS.
Great Interest Being Manifested IN the Com ing
General Elections.

~
General Elections.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Sept. 13.-There is beginning
to be considerable interest displayed in the gen.
eral election for senators and deputies to be
held on the 18th. In the organization of an
official ticket it is difficult to conciliate conflict
ing claims, and much discon7eut has been
caused. 1t is believed, however, that official
candidates will be elected. So long as the army
continues united and favors a government
the power of the latter Is considered
irresistible. Some attempt has been made to
organize parties, the most successful of these
being that OF the Catholic party, which will
probably poll good many votes. The bishops
have unanimously protested against the exclu-
sion Of the clergy from eligibility to office.
This is one Of the questions involved in the
election. As a rule, however, the questions at
issue bear rather on persons than on principles,
as neither independent nor official candidates
present any well designed progress. OH
cial candidates, il elected, will probably vote
for the approval Of the constitution published
by the government. while some of the indepen-
dent candidates express preference for the
original draft framed by the committee appointed
for that purpose. Many prominent men have
declared their intention OF refraining
from taking part in, the elections
and have advised their edherents
to do likewise. The congress to be elected will
choose president and vice president of the re-
public. Thus far no name is mentioned in con
nection with the latter office, and only Deoder
in connection the former.

During the present month Traffic
Manager Waldo and other prominent
officials of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas road will be in Texas and will
visit Fort Worth while in the state. The
object of their proposed visit is not pub

do with the proposed extensions of the
system in this state. The time is rapidly
approaching when this road will have to
nave connecting link between its north

Special Correspondence of the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRD TEX. Sept. 4.-While
there is but little being said of the Wealth
erford, Mineral Wells and Northwestern
railroad, the fact is the railroad is being
built very rapidly. The grading is about
completed to the coal mines about fifteen
miles from the city. Part of the steel
rails and ties for the road have been re-
ceived here and THE GAZETTE corres-
pendent has just learned from General
Manager of the Road L. NJ. Fouts that
track-laying will begin on the 25th of
this month, and that the road will be
completed and trains running to the
coal mines and possibly to Mineral Wells
by November Is. The ties. steel rails,
fastenings, locomotives, cars, coaches,
in fact everything for the building and
operation of the road, has been pur-
chased. This being especially a coal
railroad, the work of putting down the
coal shaft of the coal mine to be operated
in connection with the road has been in
progress for some time and Will be ready
to furnish the coal by the time the road
is ready to haul it. General Manager
Fouts will soon leave for Kansas City,
Chicago and New York. While he is on
the trip he will purchase all the machin-
cry for the operation of the coal mines.
The management of the road for the
present has formed junction with the
Texas s. Pacific railroad at point about
215 miles west of the city and will for
awhile at least reach the city over the
Texas s. Pacific. The plans for the de-
pots, round house, shops, etc., have
been adopted and approved and will be
erected shortly. 1t Is not yet known def
initely whether the company will build
their round house, shops, distributing
grounds, ETC.. at the junction or whether
it will be right in the city. In conversa-
tion this morning with General Manager
Fouts, the GAZETTE correspondent learn
ed enough to feel warranted to say that
after the road is completed to the coal
mines in this county and In thorough re-
pair 1t will be extended to the northwest.
possibly up the rich Brazos valley, and

populous cities on the east of us have

resulted in nothing but failure so far as
they are concerned.
But few people outside of Weatherford
realize what the building of this railroad
and opening up of these flue coal mines
means for Northwest Texas, and espe-
cially this city. The people of Weather
ford contracted with the railroad COM
pany for certain considerations in the
way OF bonus and right of way to have
coal laid down here at 1918 per ton for
manufacturing and all other purposes.
This secures to this city by far the
cheapest fuel of any city in Texas, ana

The Steel Ago.

In the history OF the world, various peri.
DDS have been designated as the Golden
Age, the Silver A 9, the Bronze Age the
Iron Age, and so on. The first was long,
long time ago, the age of the early poets,
the age in which man lived in true pastoral
simplicity, the age of demi-gods and heroes.
The Bronze Age was the age when man
made his implements OF husbandry and his
weapons for the chase from bronze. The
Iron Age embraces the portion Of time
when that most useful Of all metals came
into use-antl caused revolution in the
mechanic arts. The present day may be
fifty characterized as the Age Of Steel, il
having largely supplanted iron in thous
and ways. Our civilization would be i'm
possible without it-for our railroads would
not exist without steel. ''The Burlington
belongs to the present age, its 1000 miles OF
rails being al! steel, and its equipment
speed. and safety unrivaled. For tickets

Slx-MlLE FISH-LINEs.
How They Catch Sturgeon in Winnsbar<
~ Lake. Wiaconsin

How They Catch Sturgeon in Winnsbsro
Lake. Wisconsin.
They fish with fsh-lines six miles
long in Winnebago Lake, Wisconsin,
and use 10000 hooks on every line.
If they don't haul up 2, 600 fish every
time they lift line they don't think
they are having very good luck.
And every fish will weigh from 20 to
10 pounds
That's the way they fish for surgeons
out there. One of these fsh-lines will
reach half way across the lake. 1t is a
rope an inch in diameter It is stretched
out into the lake by means OF. boats,
large buoys being attached toit at inter
walls to keep it on the surface.
Tho 10000 hooks, baited with pieces
OF meat or fish, are lowered to the bot
tom Of tho lake by snoods of the proper
length, which are fastened to the main
limo. 1t takes 20 boats, with two men
in each, to look after the big fish-line.
Each boat has 1000 of the snoods in it's
charge. These are tied to the main line
10 inches apart, and to bait all the hooks
once requires not less than 1000 pounds
of bait.
It takes the 40 men and 20 boats It
hours to set the line for the first time.
After that the fishermen are employed
III going over tho line, hauling in the
surgeons that have been caught on the
hooks, and rebaiting where it is neces.
sary.
Z TO haul in 7o-pound sturgeon from
the bottom Of the lake is an exciting
piece of work, but it requires more
strength than skill, as the fish always has
tho hook several inches down his throat,
having sucked bait and all down with
out any regard to consequences. There
is no danger of losing the fish unless the
hook breaks.
When the fish is hauled to the surface
gait as big as meat hook is thrust
into the side of it's head, and the stur-
geon is hauled into the boat and knock
ed in the head with heavy maui. The
hook that captured it is cut out of it's
throat, rebaited, and thrown back into
the lake. The average catch of the stur-
geon is one to every 10 hooks.
When boat is loaded with all it can
carry of sturgeon, the fishermen row
back to shore, where others take the
fish and dispose of them. The fisher.
men know the particular Sections of the
line on which they work by the arrange
ment of the buoys. These are placed 10
feet apart, and one in $50 of them is
painted red. The space between the
red buoys contains 1000 hooks.
The sections are numbered and the
boats are numbered. The boats work
the sections as their numbers correspond
with the section numbers.
While the average catch is one stur.
geon to 10 hooks, it is no uncommon
thing for the fishermen to find but one
or two on an entire section of 1000
hooks. The very next section may con-
tain, the full average Of 100 and perhaps
more.-N. Y. Sun.

much. She would sit on some cushions
with one of the girls an hour or two 1t
. time, while Birgin would ramble
round and sketch and examine the
rocks. When had nothing particular
to do I used to stroll over to Birgin's
cabin along in the forenoon, when
the weather was fine Then, as his wife
continued to improve, would take them
further and further into the woods, each
time in new direction. On these trips
always carried my double-barreled
muzzle-loading shotgun, and it's worth
three of any breech leaders I ever hand
led. In the left barrel always had a
heavy charge of powder and buckshot,
and In the other barrel charge of fine
birdshot. Deer were out of season, and
all we cared for was a few birds for Mrs
Birgin. ..
zone afternoon my boy, who was then
lad of fifteen, had been out with my
shotgun. He came home at night a
good deal excited. He had met some
OF the boys, and they had told him about
panther that had been seen and heard
| in the neighborhood. He talked so
much about the panther that he forgot
to tell me he had fired the charge of
buckshot and left both barrels. loaded
| with bird shot.
IL didn't take any stock in the story
about the panther, and thought the boys
had been trying to scare the lad. had
| never seen a live panther, and never ex-
pected to see one, at least about here.
| thought so little about it that didn't
| mention the matter to the Birgin people.
| didn't want to alarm them for nothing,
| and spoil their pleasant strolls in the
woods, when they were doing Mrs.
Birgin so much good.
1.-The next morning I took my shot.
gun and went over to the cabin. only
| looked to see that it was loaded, and
| supposed the load of buckshot was in
the left barrel. as usual, as the boy had
| never interfered with it before. NV
| carelessness, for that's what it was,
came very near being disastrous
''Mrs. Birgin was feeling stronger
than usual that morning, and we walked
long way from the cabin. One of the
servants went with us and carried a big
basket of provisions. We camped for
lunch in pretty little ravine over
near Little river. After lunch Birgin
| and myself crossed the little ravine and
left the women sitting on the bank.
Birgin had his revolver in his belt, as
usual, and began hammering on rock
looking for specimens, and I sat look
ing on, with my gun over my knees.
"Suddenly heard a stir in the under
brush on the other side of the ravine. I
turned my head, and you can imagine
how I felt when I saw full-grown
male panther only few feet back of
where the women sat. It had proba bly,
been attracted by the smell of the pro-
visions and was making observations.
II confess I lost my head little, as
was not hunting for panthers. But
then, did you ever happen to meet a
full-grown panther in the woods? You
