A QUEER HoUsE.-ln Lake Nysssa
there is a kind Of black fish which
every year build what the natives term
q house. In the mud at the bottom of
the lake 1t makes q hole some two or
three feet broad, beaping up the mud
removed from the hole so as to form a
little wall around it. The depth of tie
hole and the height Of the wall meas

teen to twenty inches deep. In this
lake within a lake this queer little fish
erects q mud house, the average sized
specimen, measuring fourteen inches
across the bottom, rapidly coming TO q
point in the shape Of a broad cone. A
hole four inches In diameter, always on
the south side, serves as an opening
for eeress and ingress. A dried speci-

Motion of Electricity in wirsA

Kirchoff, in his paper on Motion Of
Electricity in Wires, first showed in
1857 that, under certain conditions,
electricity moves in a thin wire ac-
cording TO the laws of wave motion
and with a velocity about equal to
that Of light. This, however, is only
true of straight wires stretched in
the air. He found that if the wire
be in a zig-zag form, or wound in a
spiral, the velocity of propagation ex-
ceeded that of light. Prof. ].
Stephan has recently been studying
the same question, using the method
of Hertz, that is, of. producing sta
tionary waves and comparing the
Of the waves IN straight wires
with those in circuits. He finds
them longer in the latter than IN the
former, and the increased velocity of
propagation in the latter over light,
much greater than that given by Kir.
choff or Wheatstone, who has also in
vestlgated the subject.

The agricultural college board
fight came to a crisis Friday, when
Gov. Shortridge served notice
on the members of the hold-over
board that they were suspended
pending Investigation Of charges
made against them. Members are
notified to appear before Gov.
Shortridge, May 25, to show cause
why they should not be removed.
The charges are very lengthy, and
embrace many items, summed up
as general misappropriation Of

that President Miller, of the board
Of trustees, sold to the college a
COW for $40. The animal was SO
frisky that no one at the college
could go near it, and at the end of
two weeks it was killed for beef.

SHE RrIAN BULLION CONSPIRACY.

4
In discussing the attempt to contract
the currency and the credit of the
country to gold basis The Republic
recently spoke of the notes issued un-
der the Sherman act as certificates of
deposit. For this we are taken to
taken to task by a contractionist organ,
which gravely informs US that they are
"coin potes.'
That is absurd. They purport to be
legal tender Treasury notes." pay
able in coin, but as a matter of fact
they were intended to be, they always
have been, and they. now are legal ten
der warehouse receipts issued on the
deposit of silver bullion and redeemed
in gold.
If they were coin notes in reality the
Harrison administration would have
paid out silver coin as we'll as gold
coin on them. But if this had been
done it would have defeated at the
start the most infamous conspiracy
that ever disgraced the financial his
tory of this OIL any other country.
1t was part of the bargain with the
gold ring that these Sherman notes
should be redeemed in gold alone.
They were not afraid to take the risk
OF leaving the law so worded that a
Secretary of the Treasury, represent
ing the rights and interests of the peo-
pie, could redeem them in silver also.
Without interruption for thirty years
they had controlled the Treasury and
they had no fear of losing their con-
troll over it.
The event justified them. Although
the law allowed the Sherman cedulas
to be redeemed in silver coined from
the bullion on which they were issued,
the Harrison administration began the
shameful policy of redeeming them in
gold only, thereby giving the aid and
comfort of the Government to con.
spiracy to rob the people.
1t was disgraceful bargain and it
has been shamefully carried out. The
Harrison administration deserves the
unqualified condemnation of all honest
men for its partin fixing on the county
this fraudulent and ruinous policy of
contraction. It is hampering trade
and contracting credit, and it must
continue to do so until the Democratic
party can force reform. That it will
do. The issue has been joined, and
no matter who comes, the Democratic
party will fight out for the people.

ATTORNEY FRED ZICK.

ATTORNEY FRED ZICK.
The sketch given below of our
old friend Fred lick, taken from
the Pythian Herald, published at
Seattle Wash, will prove interest
ing reading to a large number of
our readers:
Bro. Fred Zick, whose portrait
speaks for itself, was born in Illi-
nols, Oct. Goth, 1858. In 1886 he
went to the Territory of Dakota and
was admitted to the bar. After
two years practice he was elected
prosecuting attorney of Cavalier
county. Finding the long cold
winters in North Dakota a little
too severe, he decided to make his
future home on the Pacific coast,
and at the expiration of his term of
Office came to Seattle, on the 10th Of
January, 1891. Since coming to
Seattle he has identified himself
with the order of knights of Pythias,
being charter member of Puget
Sound Lodge No. II, and last Janu-
ary was elected as representative
to the Grand Lodge. He is an able
debater and forcible in his argu-
ment, uniting a rare gift of oratory
with the most convincing logic,
arousing the emotions and convinc-
ing the judgement. He is thor
oughly familiar in criminal practice,
and since being in Seattle has tried
many criminal cases. He tried the
case of S. n. Sadler, who was charg-
ed with murder in the first degree
for stabbing a Greek fisherman on
West street, and secured his acquit-
tai on the theory of self-defense.
He tried the case of Malta Leoni
and Joseph Puccia, two Italians,
charged with numbering George
Richards on Mercer Island,
They buried the body in Lake
Washington and Lenoi then went to
Canada, where he was arrested and
brought back for trial. Mr.. Kick
defended them on the theory of
self-defense, and Leoni was convict
ed of manslaughter and sentenced
to eighteen months in the peniten-
tiary and Puccia to three months in
the county Jail as accessory after
the fact.
Personally Mr.. Zick is little over
medium height, we'll ploportioned,
with black hair, grey eyes and
strong features that indicate force
and determination. His voice is
clear, deep and melodious. He has
large preceptive faculties and reads
human nature and the character of
those with whome he comes in con-
tact intuitively. He is unassuming
in his appearance, but to meet him
in the trial of cause, is never to
forget him, With all his gifts of
advocacy he has but one rule,
thorough preparation of the evidence
and law in every case, diligence in
enforeing both with the tone, man
ner and conduct of gentleman.
