Six-MiIe FishIines.

They fish with fShlines six miles
long in Winnebago Lake, Wisconsin,
and use 10000 hooks on every line.
If they don't haul up 1900 fish every
time they lift line they cont think
they are having very good luck. And
every fish will weigh from 20 TO 20
pounds. That's the way they fish for
sturgeon out there. One of these
fShlines will reach halfway across
the lake 1t is a rope an inch in di-
ameter. 1t i stretched out into the
lake by means Of boats, large buoys
being attached TO it at intervals TO
keep it on the surface. The 10000
hooks. baited with pieces of meat or
fish, are lowered To the bottom Of the
lake bv snoods of the proper length
which are fastened to the main line
II takes 20 boats, with two men In
each. 10 look after this big fishline
Each boat has 900 Of the snoods in
its charge. These are tied TO the
main line IS inches apart, and 10 bait
all the hooks once requires not less
than 900 pounds of bait. 1t takes
the 40 men and twenty boats ten
hours to set the line for the first time.
After that the fishermen are employ
ed in going over the line, hauling IN
the sturgeon that have been caught
on the hooks. and rebaiting where
il is necessary To haul in n seventy
pound sturgeon from the bottom OF
the lake is an exciting piece OF work /;
but il requires more strength than
skill, as the fish always has the hook
several inches down his throat, hav-
ing sucked bait and all down with
out any regard to consequences.
There is no danger Of loosing the
fish unless the hook breaks. When
the fish is hauled to the surface
gaff as big as a meat hook is thrust
into the side of its head, and the
sturgeon is hauled into the boat and
knocked in the head with "A heavy
maui The hook that captured 1t Is
cut out Of the throat, rehaited and
thrown back into the lake. The av-
erage catch Of surgeons is one to ev-
ery ten hooks. When n boat is load
ed with all it can carry OF sturgeon
the fishermen row back TO shore,
where others take the fish and dis
pose of them. The fishermen know
the particular sections of the line on
which they work by the arrange
ment Of the buoys These are placed
ten feet apart, and one in $50 Of them
is painted red The space between
the red buoys contains 1000 hooks.
The sections are numbered. The
boats work the sections as their
numbers correspond with the section
numbers. While the average catch
is one sturgeon 10 ten hooks, it is no
uncommon thing for the fishermen TO
find but one or two on an entire sec
ton of 1000 hooks. The very next
section may contain the full average
of 100, and perhaps more. The Lake
Winnebago sturgeon is highly priced
among the lunbermen and others in
the region. Its flesh is finer and Of
better flavor than the river or salt
water sturgeon OF the east. The fish
sells at six cents per pound retail.
Large quantities are salted and
smoked for use in the lumber
camps

Fatal Shooting ARRAY.

A shooting ARRAY occurred last Sunday
evening, about three miles north OF town,
Mt the camps near the double tunnel, which
resulted in the killing of two men, Har-
rison Jones and Bile Lewis. The men met
In barroom, and Jones began talking
about some trouble he had had in Ken
lucky With q man by the name of Clay and
was abusing him. 1t seems that Lewis
was friend of Clay and told Jones he
should not talk that way to the man
friends, but say it to him. A few words
passed and Lewis said to Jones: "Let us
20 out and talk the matter over. They
wcht out Just above the commlssary
Jones with pistol In his hand ond Lewis
with Winchester rifle. There few hot
words passed between them and Lewis
shot Jones, killing him Instantly LOWS
then started down toward the main road,
and was fired upon by n man by the name
of Caudle, who was coming to the rescue
of Jones. Candle fired three shots, the
second taking effect just below the shout
der blade, and Lewis lived about an hour
and a half. DR.. Gilman, who made an
examination, says he thinks Lewis's death
was caused by hemorrhage and that the
wound was not sufficient to cause his
death so soon.

How Smokeless Powder Is Made.
From To Moniteur Scientifiauc.

Purified wood celulose is gradually in
troduced into very cold mixture Of one
part of Tuning nitric acid and two parts
of concentrated sulphuric acid until a
thick pulp is formed. After six hours
contact, the pulp $ washed, first with
cold and then with farm and slightly am
moniacal water. The washed product is
boiled in concentrated solution of
nitrate of baryta, gently compressed, and
dried at 40 degrees G. In order to granu-
late it Gan operation that is not indispcn-
sible), machines devised for the purpose
are necessary.
1t is probable that the somkeless pow
der is the same that was offered two
years ago, by an English house, to the
Austrian and German Governments. and
refused after an examination.

THE REpuBLToAN NoMISEE.
What ths People Think OF Mr. Miils arg
His Prospect for an Elecaioss'-; y

Mr.. j. F. Bullitt says: II am not per-
.spnally acquainted With Mr.. Mills but
from what can hear he is gentleman,
and suppose he would make fairly good
representative if elected. However, ]
think the republicans must have found
congressional timber rather scarce or
thew would not have selected q railroad
contractor, who is moving hither and
thither constantly in the different States,
as his contracts call him, and therefore
is comparatively little interested In this
State. His intimate connections more
over with railroad corporations will work
against him with the people. do not
think he will stand any show against such
man as Buchanan"
Joe Maynor says: 81 do not think the
republicans could have chosen man
easier to beat than Mr.. Mills. he is o
good man but / do not regard him as q
man who would make good representa-.
tive for the people. He is native OF
PENNSYLVANIA and has not been in this
State scarcely long enough to known the
needs of the people. / have no doubt
whatever but that Buchanan will carry
the district by rousing majority"
John Goodloe says: 81 think the repub-
lican convention made good choice and
could not have done better. The republic
cans everywhere are congratulating them
selves on being able to secure as good
man as Mr.. Mills. He will get scores OF
democratic votes in his section Of the coun-
try for he is u man liked wherever he is
known. They could not have chosen a
man that will make better run, and |
have no doubt but that he will be elected. .
Mr.. E. T. Short says: 81 am personally
acquainted with the republican nominee
for congressman, Mr.. Mills, and think he
is a nice man, but do not think he would
make good representative for the peo-
pie. The fact of his being railroad
contractor, and having no largo interests
In any particular section, will be regarded
by the people as On Objectionable feature.
Buchanan will be elected
Mr.. Irvine says: II know Mr. Mills very
slightly by reputation. l suppose he is an
energetic, pushing man, and useful one
for the development of Southwest Vir-
GINA in his own way. But he will have
to be a boomer from 'boomersville' if
he wears John A. Buchanan's shoes after
the November election. Wise county Will
go for Buchanan"
Mr.. Howard Bullitt, cashier Of the Big
Stone Gap Bank, says: 81 am protec.
Zionist first, last and ell the time. l shall
vote for Mills"
Republican leaders here are, of course,
for Mr.. Mills. Senator Mills committed
himself in advance to the nomination,
and Col. and Capt. Slemp are such ardent
republicans that they would likely sup
mort anv one rather than democrat.

The Rise In the Price Of Cigmrs
(Fro:n Tobacco,

In one respect only is there any unani-
nifty of opinion, and that is, that the
hree-for-a-quartcr clear Havana will
retailed for ten cents straight; and the
greater portion of the imported cigars
now sold for ten cents or under must go.
The average raise on the former will be
be about $12 per 1000, and on imported
cigars from $40 to $40, according to the
weight. No material reduction of size
can be made that will Offset this advance
and thereby equalize prices, for in many
instances the cigars arc made too loose
