Senator Pasco's allegation in the Senate
the other day that the principal law break
ers OF Florida are officers Of the United
States courts is promptly and conclusively
answered by the clerk Of the District court
at Jacksonville, who brands the statement
as an utter falsehood. which for five months
has been published by a ''venomous ultra
partisan press" for the purpose of covering
up the real issue. The clerk declares that
the Democratic press Of the State has in no
small degree melted the lawless elements of
the community to murder. Pasco's other
statement, that the jury to investigate the
election frauds was packed with Republi-
cans, is also declared false. 1t was drawn
Just as all juries are drawn, and was CON-
posed OF men from both parties. Pasco will
now hayeto invent some new excuse for his
Florida friends.

The House yesterday, after long balloting,
selected Chicago as the place for holding the
Worlds fair. The success of the Lake City
is due to variety of causes. Its geographic
cal position better suited the West and
South. which are the controlling elements in
Congress, than did New York. That no
doubt had great influence. Furthermore
the people Of Chicago were united, while
there was considerable faction in New
York which, if 1t did not actually oppose
having the fair there, was very lukewarm on
the subject Chicago is very much to be pre-
ferred to st. Louis or Washington, but the
proper place. all things considered, was New
York. Congress, however, has decided
otherwise. and New York will have to make
the best of 1t.

THE IOWA COMPROMISE.
[St. Louis Globe-Democratl
The breaking of the Iowa dead lock will
give satisfaction to both parties. Most of
the gains and triumphs, however, 20 to the
Republicans. The stratagems and devices
resorted to in order to secure an organiza-
ton, and the suspense and decentralization in
official circles which this condition of things
has caused, will teach the Iowans the folly
OF allowing the Democrats to elect half or
2 third OF either branch of the Legislature in
the future.

It's peculiar winter when up to Feb. 10th
there have been but three days suitable for
running foxes, but that is what old fox hunt
ers say is true Of this winter.
Several parties report seeing wolves in
Northern Aroostook II this is so there
win be thinning out of the deer and carl
bou in that section. The Aroostook Repub-
lican says the animals are not wolves but
low-grade dogs, that are infinitely worse
than wolves.
A distinguished party Of fish culturalists
have just inspected the New York State
Hatchery at Cold Spring, and saw many in
teresting things.
At present In the Cold Spring Hatchery are
brook trout fry to the number of 7S. 600 !;
brown trout. 10000, and lake trout 475, 900;
LochLeven trout eggs. 10000; salmon eggs,
10000; saibling eggs, 1000; Alpine Lake
trout eggs. 5000 During the year 1,7OO, 900
tomcod fry were turned loose In Cold Spri ng
HaIbor and 100000 in Huntington Harbor.
The salmon eggs come from Bucksport,
Me-, and are furnished by the United State
Fish Commission. After being Matched out
at Cold Spring they are placed in the Hud-
son. The salmon stocking of the Hudson
had been one of Superintendent Mather's
pet schemes, and the result of his work has
been satisfactory. Over 500 were taken from
the river last spring. This season the trout
eggs have been Matched unusually early at
Cold Spring. owing to the mild winter. In
the streams the same thing has been noticed.
As a rule, nature pretty evenly balanced all
conditions. and, If the eggs, Matched early,
the enemies and destructive forces did not
gain any advantage. An open winter meant
more food In the streams and better chance
for the survival OF fry.
The guests of the fish commissioners were
much Interested in the tomcods The tom
cod is not game fish, but fried in butter he
is toothsome. A thankful of infant Gods were
seen. They were about an eighth Of an inch
long, almost transparent, and as thin as q
white thread. Yet they were swimming
about as happy as tomcods can be. These
mites are turned into the Sound at Cold
Spring. Last fall lots of them were caught
there and they fairly lined the shore, as the
result of previous stocking. They are Matched
in salt water, but Mr.. Mather found the other
day that fresh water would also do.
been Matched at Cold Spring is the golden
ide. 1t is something like goldfish in color,
though 1t grows to nearly the size of shad.
1t comes from Germany. The fish brought
over spawned in little pond 20 feet in d.
ameter and IS inches deep, supplied with
ration.
Enemies to the fish are of course found at
Cold Spring. A big fight against the cells
which worked into the ponds from Long
intendent Mather. who got the best of them
by lining his ponds with hemloek. The cells
sometimes In wet weather work over the
slippery grass to the ponds, but are unable
to bury themselves beneath the hemlock, and
are easily discerned. Mr. Mather's breech-
loader attends to the kingfshers.

The Result of Merit.

When anything stands test of fifty
years among discriminating people like
the Americans, it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere The value
of medicine is best proved by its contin
ued use from year to year by the same per-
sons and families, as well as by steadily
increasing sale. Few, if any, medicines
have met with such continued success and
popularity as has marked the introduction
and progress of BRANDRETH's PILLS, which
after a trial of over fifty years, are con.
coded to be the safest ard most effectual
purgative introduced to the public.
That this IS the result of merit, and that
BRANDRErH's PILLS actually perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest
BRANDRETH's PILLS are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
gar-coated.

Obituary.

Passed to her rest and reward, Mrs Viii.
lelmina Becker, nee Baumann, on Feb. Sd,
at a. m.
Mrs Becker was born in the Kingdom of
Prussia March 10, 1912, and emigrated to
the United States with her parents and
brother in 1854, the family settling near
Waukegan, Ill. Nov 30, 1862, she was
married to Mr.. Fred. Becker, and for 81
years they mutually shared the burdens as
well as pleasures of this life. Mrs. B. was
one Of the oldest members of the German
Methodist church of this city and was al
ways interested in the work of the church,
taking an active part as long as her health
permitted. For 10 years her health failed
her and in spite of medical aid and kind
nursing, disease fastened on her and carried
her on towards her grave. Especially since
the death of her beloved Willie last summer
did she sink rapidly. But death and the
grave had lost it's terror to her; she rested
in the merit and love of her Redeemer;
During the disaster OF Feb. I'd she was
calm. 1t did not seem to affect her. She
was nearing the goal of her earthly journty
and ON Monday morning passed peacefully
over to that better land
Mrs. d. was we'll known in Kenosha.
She was buried from the English Methc-
dist church, where Rev H. Lemcke. one of
her former pastors, took active part in the
service, speaking words of consolation and
cheer to the afflicted. The present pastor
preached on Rev. 81, f.
Two sons and one daughter passed before
her, and bereaved relatives, an afflicted
husband, four sons, one dauA liter, an aged
father, one brother and her many friends
mourn her loss. Com.

Although it is rather early in the season
| for the schools to come to close, the one
in District No l has taken the lead by
closing lis doors on Friday last, the school
master taking his leave for home On the
part of the school there has been some
dissatisfaction with the teacher during the
winter, because he did not happen to
"think" as they did This trouble caused
a number to withdraw which finally ended
in the closing of the school.

A Successful Combination.

Rings, pools, trusts, combines, monopo-
lies-call them what you will-they are
fast increasing throughout the length and
breadth of this country. Legislators de-
nounce them and newspapers attack them,
but still they seem to flourish 1t is graft
flying however, to note that there is at least
one combination in this country that meets
with the approval of the public, especially
of farmers: It is composed, not of individ-
uals, but Of the following quartet of har-
vesting machines: Deering Binder, Deer
ing Light Reaper Deering Giant Mower,
and New Deering Mower.
