Interesting Senate Debate.


ToPKxA, January 2L-The senate va CON
sidering . resolution to empower il cleo
lions committee to send for persons and
papers in the trial of contest cases.
Senator O'Bryan moved that the resolu-
ton be Ioferred to tho COMMITTEES ON Judi
ciary to get . report on the point - to
brought; whether the requirements of Law
had been complied with: it being conceded
in open senate that contest papers had not
6oen sworn to As required by statute, that
they had not been delivered to and como be-
fore the senate in manner required by Law.
Senator billiard opposed the reference.
saying that the elections committee could a.
well pass upon these points.
Senator Baker made a calculation Of the
possible and probable expense were the cases
tried a. proposed, putting it at SIS, 900: all
of which, he SAID, might be saved should it 30
determined legally, that there is now NO
legal manner to prosecute the casea He
had found upon examination that the con-
test papers had not been fled in statutory
time; some of them had never been fled {;
that they had never been delivered BY the
secretary of the state to the president of the
senate; that the president of the senate had
not laid them before that body: that there
them: that they were not accompanied by
lists of witnesses-all of which were required
by statutes governing contests.
Senator Leedy said he was advis eddy con-
stitutional lawyers that a notice of contest
was not necessary.
Senator Dennison said that the senate
could follow the laws if it desired to, but the
senate was a law unto itself.
Senator Thacher said that there was no
evidence before the senate that the seat of q
single senator had been contested. "Cau any
mans seat in this senate be contested" SAID
Senator Thacher. simply because some
man comes up the back stairs or through the
cloak room and says his seat is contested?
Let us in some measure preserve the dignity
of this body. The president has never to
this day said there was a contest, and until
the notice so comes there is no contest.
When it is laid before US in the proper shape
We are ready to take it up"
Senator Parker thought some decision
ought to be made whether the statutes were
worth anything.
Senator Sem said he was glad the contest
cases did not have to be proceeded with ac-
cordingto law, or they would never get done.
Everybody knows" he said, that contest
cases are decided according to common sense
rules" Upon the direct inquiry of senator
Parker, Senator Sem said he did not pr
pose to DO bound by any statutory provisio
in the settlement of the contest cases.
The motion was finally laid over.

A FISH STORY.
You May Tell This in Confidence to
Your Friends.

AlANauhGb ccnlilel

llie-one that you can always believe and
tell your children and grandchildren, one
that you can tell your friends and look them
square in the face and offer 10 bet money on.
make trip to Beaver Dam, Wis, and go
about three miles up the lake and you will
see fish and how they catch them. Over a
hundred men and boys ara there all the
time, dipping fish cut of large. square holes
in the ice with fiat. square nets. Each time a
net is lifted, which is about once in five
minutes, the fisherman secures from half a
peck to a bushel of the finny tribe. OFT
times the nets are too full to lift, and have
to be let down again to let some of the fish
escape before it is possible TO draw the net
out of the water, or the owner calls for help
from his nearest neighbor The fish caught
are principally bulheads, with now and
then some perch, pickerel aud suckers.
The place where these fish are caught is
among lot Of springs, where the fish go
for warmer water. IL is not every winter
| that tsh may be thus easily captured, but
only when the winter is very cold and the
ice thick the fish then flock in vast schools
! TO these springs. 1t was formerly believed
that they went there for air, but this idea
is dispelied by the fact that in ordinary
winters, other conditions being the same,
when it is not so cold no fish can be found
They are not always found at the game
place, either. sometimes changing to other
Localities OF the same nature, Of which there
are several.
Some fishermen, not having nets, made
good catches by chOpping two holes in the
ice several rods apart. The holes soon FIJI
up with bullheads. and all the fisherman
has TO do is to scoop them out with pitch
fork. When one hole is cleaned out he goes
to the other one while the first one fills up
again. Sometimes the pressure from the
fish below forces the upper ones away out
Of the water on the ice. Many fishermen
catch as high as fifty bushels OF fish in one
day, and the price they bring is from 90
| cents to 40 cents per bushel. The market is
right there on the ice.
Farmers come from a radius of forty miles
to buy fish. Usually several farmers club
together and send man and team here for
load Of fish, which consists of from forty
to sixty bushels. Some use double wagon
boxes, while others use frozen pickerel for
side stakes to keep the bullheads from fall
ing off. All day long loads of fish are seen
passing through Beaver Dam. Sometimes
as many rs twenty loaded sleighs NAV be
seen coming off the lake on their way home.
Quite an extensive business is carried on by
the shippers, who buy the fish, dress them
and ship them to the city markets, where
they ind ready sale at good prices; some
are also sold by the basket in neighbOring
towns.

How to Eat an Orange.


There is no doubt that half the pleasant
flavor OF the orange is destroyed BY the
difficulty OF eating 1t gracefully, although
that is feat of which, like building an
open fire, every one imagines his method is
the best. So great terror does an orange
inspire in woman al luncheon, with the
fatal example which has SO often been told
hanging over her of the man who broke an
engagement when he saw his sweetheart
hacking at one. that this delight
full food is generally tabooed. One
feels tempted to follow the example of
the dear old lady who was in the habit of
retiring to her room with an orange and
locking the door after her. But the mystery
was lately solved at luncheon, and the
solution will be hailed with delight by
h0usekeeDers. The oranges were peeled
aud sliced and brought on the table cut up
fiue in punch glasses, in which there was
great deal OF juice. In each glass there was
cracked ice and sugar. and this delicious
combination, which embodies all the de-
lights of the fruit, with none OF its Iisad-
vantages, is eaten with spoon.
