Black Bass Briefs.

If you are angling for black bass with
flies. and wish the flies to sink little, be
careful not to get any mosquito repellant
on the leaders. The oil in the insect mix
ture will make them float like so much
cork. This reminds me: 1t is generally
stated that there are two styles OF fly fish
ing for black bass. There are three; the
first two-with ordinary black bass flies
sunk q few inches under the water, as in
salmon fishing, and the general method OF
using flies of size between the ordinary
black bass fly and the medium sized brock
trout fly, which are failed as in brook
trout fishing; the third-with ordinary
black bass flies with a No. split shot
three inches above the dropper, and the
flies sunk almost as deep as bait would be
allowed to sink. OF course this is rather
coarse method compared with other styles
of fly fishing, but in the water where it Is
practiced-the Saginaw river at Bay City
Mich.-there is under many conditions
really nothing vulgar about it. The water
is deep, muddy and badly colored by the
pine bark from the innumerable log RATS
that go up and down the course. have

MARTIN F. COoMEs, a physician of
high standing in Louisville, has made a
report in the case of Mary Stuckenberg,
the woman on whose person are ex-
hibited every Friday the marks of the
crucifxion. He carefully observed the
phenomena. He cannot account for the
marks, but he believes them of natural
origin. He saw the spots in the woman's
hands appear, bleed and disappear.
Also he observed the marks of the cross
on her brow and on her shoulder. The
investigation will be continued. Other
physicians made observations, though
not so extended, at the same time with
DR. Coomes, and concur in his report.

A SUIT for damages to the amount of
$4,000 has been begun by Mrs Nelson
Balbridge of Santa Anita against the
Western Union Telegraph company in
Ohio. The plaintiff alleges that during
the first week in September last her
husband was visiting at Columbus, O.,
and being taken suddenly ill, tele-
graphed her to come at once to his bed
side. The message was not delivered
until week after it was sent, and be-
fore Mrs Balbridge could arrive in
Columbus her husband was dead. She
further alleges that her husband wished
to inform her personally as to his large
business Interests and loans, and that
by not being with him in his last hours
she lost much in property, and the
shock to her system has been such as to
render her an invalid. She says that
some of the beat lawyers in Ohio and
California tell her she has a good case,
and cite instances where verdicts have
been given upon complaints similar to
hers.

IT may astonish some people who do
not peruse the criminal records to learn
that during the year just closed there
died at the hands of "Judge Lynch" in
the United States seventy-two more
people than were legally executed, the
figures being respectively 1915 and 1913.
The executions under the sanction of
the law were distributed as follows:
Alabama ., California 2, Colorado 3,
Connecticut /, Delaware 4, Georgia 16,
Illinois 2, Kentucky 2, Louisiana o,
Maryland 2, Minnesota 2, Mississippi 8,
Missouri s, Nebraska 4, New York 4,
North Carolina 2, Ohio 2, Pennsylvania
Z, South Carolina 8, Tennessee 8, Texas
10, Virginia 8, West Virginia /, Arizona
2, Indian Territory 5. Of the total
number 55 were whites, 65 negroes, l
Mexican, Indians and Japanese,
Two of the executed criminals were
women, one a negress and the other
white. Six women, all negresses, fell
victims TO the decree of Judge Lynch.
The lynchings in the different states and
territories were as follows: Alabama
20, Arkansas 10, California /, Colorado
2, Florida 10, Georgia 10, Illinois /,
Indiana 8, Kentucky II, Louisiana 90,
Maryland /, Michigan 2, Mississippi %,
Missouri 2, Montana 5, Nebraska 2,
North Carolina 2, Ohio /, Oregon /,
South Carolina /, South Dakota 3.
Tennessee IS, Texas 16, Virginia 5,
West Virginia 2, Wisconsin /, Washing
ton 3, Wyoming l, Indiana Territory 2.
There were 121 negroes, SO whites, . In
diana, 2 Chinese and l Mexican. While
1859 of the mob executions occurred in
the south and 90 in the north, there
were SO legal executions in the south to
81 in the north. Figures showing the
number of convictions in murder trials
are unfortunately not at hand, but the
conjecture is by no means unreasonable
that they would tell less against the
south than the lynchings of which it
must bear the responsibility. Murder
and heinous crimes would seem to be
on the increase, for in 1891 there were 81
more legal executions and 90 more
lynchings. than in 1890.

cross the western mountains by the
close of the 25th, the great central
valleys from Goth to 28th, and the
Atlantic states about the Goth. 1t will

the 9th cold wave will appear in the
northwest, moving down the Missouri
valley on the 29th and into the southern
states on the Goth. This cold wave will
become a dangerous blizzard on the
western plains on the 29th, and fierce
norther in Texas on the Goth. Both of
the storms will cause very severe
