A Madison man has advanced an idea
that makes one expenditure of chart
table funds do double duty. He pro-
poses that funds raised IN Madison be
used to pay dependant poor there for
catching perch. fish which exists in
immense numbers in the Madison lakes
and then have them shipped to the
destitute families in the northern parts
of the state. The scheme is all right
and ought to work. II would also be a
good thing for the fish in the lakes. A
A few years ago it was stated that 100
tons of perch which died of a disease
caused by lover production were
gathered and buried from that part of
the shore of Lake MENDOZA that skirts
the city of Madison. Ii this is true
there were Hundreds of tons of these fish
that died, for the shores away from the
city were just as thickly lined with them
as those nearer. A general thinning
out of them at this time would probably
prevent such an epidemic from breaking
out again among the perch, and con-
duce largely to the good health of the
city which would be endangered by
such an occurrence. The fisherman's
idea is truly benevolent one.

NOXIOUS POOLS OF WATER.

Two large and noisome pools of stagnant
water In close proximity to the Sherman
Primary School. at Franklin and Union
streets. are causing great deal of nneasi-
ness to the residents in that neighborhood.
Fears are entertained that the health and
even the lives of the little ones attending
the school mentioned are in constant dan
ger. Several accidents and narrow escapes
TO children are reported, while one life
was lost some months back through
drowning. The land in the Immediate
vicinity of the school Is much below the
grades and the waters from the nearby
sewers flow into the pools of water. which
are also augmented by the winter rains.
The health of others than the children
is also said to be in danger, ana an effort
is to be made by the residents and property
owners to have the Board of Health at.
tend to the grievance.

ILLICIT BRANDY.
The Government SeiZes
a Distillery.
Mesnager & Co.. Los Angeles Liquor
Dealers, Charged With Violating
Revenue Laws.

A very important seizure has been made
by internal revenue officers at Los Angeles
that may result in the United States con-
fiscating 100000 worth of property.
Yesterday afternoon Collector John c.
Quinn received a telegram from Deputy
Collector James II. Borland informing him
that he and Internal Revenue Agent Z. w.
Eldridge had seized the distilery and large
wholesale liquor store belonging to Mes
nager & Co. in that city.
Deputy Collector B0rland reports that
he has discovered serious state OF affairs,
and the evidence Of the violation of reve-
nue. regulations by the firm is very strong
At the distillery he found large Quan tity
of Illicit brandy.
At the store great quantity of Illicit
brandy was found under wholesale liquor
dealers stamps. There was also a large
number Of packages with uncancelled
stamps.
Upon discovery of the Illicit brandy and
other violations of the law Deputy Collec-
tor Borlaud took possession of the dstil-
lery and store and placed keepers in
charge of each.
Collector Quinn in discussing the case
said: Il have been suspicious of the firm
of Mesnager & Co. for several months, be-
cause their bond expired and they tailed
to renew it. Such cases always excite my
apprehension.
Reports reached me that the firm was
i'll the habit of starting up their distillery
on Saturday night and running it until
Monday morning. They selected that
time for operating their plant because it
was an unlikely time for Government
officer 10 visit them.
Upon the receipt of those reports l
ordered deputy Collector Borland TO visit
them last Saturday night or on Sunday,
and he went to Los Angeles for that pur-
pose. For some unknown reason they
failed to run the distillery as usual, and he
delayed visiting it.
In the meantime he gathered the evil
