why Take the Wabash

For ST. LOUISE
Because it is the shortest line; the best
equipped line; runs free chair cars, Buffet
Pullmans and gives you ample time in
Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO OR DETROITp
Because it is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close con-
nections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
Because it has solid through service
from both Chicago and st. Louis, via
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty minutes
stop at the falls at seasonable time in the
morning.
FOR ALL OTHER EASTERN POINTSp
Because its service is uniformly good
and you can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

PRESS COMMENTS.
Prime Quality Indeed.

1t takes prime quality of "gall' for
Republican editor to assert his loyalty
to the g. o. p, and, at the same time,
declare for silver. If there is any saliva
tion for silver it must come from q DEM
ocratic source, as the congressional rec
ords will prove.-Socorro Advertiser.

PLACE GOOD MEN ON GUARD.

Mr.. Chas. Longuemare sounds the key
note. He says: The present depression
in business and demorallzed condition of
society and industry throughout the coun-
try is due in great degree to the repeal
of the Sherman act without com pensating
legislation--in other words to the demo-
netization of silver. This fact is now
generally conceded. So much so that the
state conventions of all parties that have
been held recently, from Maine to Cali
fornia, have inserted in their platforms a
bimetallic plank. Citizens, however,
must not permit themselves to be deluded
by transparent tictions. There is but one
test of true bimetallism, and that is when
the candidate for the suffrage of his fell
low citizens boldly asserts his adherence
to the time honored monetary system of
the country and the restoration of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of l6 to l of gold. Citizens can
not be too careful in selecting those who
will represent their individual and aggre
gate interests, and none but those Of I'M
questioned loyalty to the cause of the
restoration of the traditionary coinage
AM fiscal methods of the country should
be chosen during this critical period of
the progress of our republic.

On statehood.

The prospects for statehood were never
so good as now. The senate committee
on territories has instructed the, sub COM
mttee to report the New Mexico bill and,
it is thought, that the senate will take it
up this week. There is no excuse now
unless Mr.. CleveIand's excoriation of the
senate be made pretext for fighting
everything the administration favors.
We trust that the pretext will not be
made and we entertain hope that the
bill will pass.--Roswel Record.

The Hatch option bill being now be-
fore the senate, it does begin to look as if
all the obstacles on earth were combining
to defeat statehood for this session.

equipped riata. "Now pull up on
him." said the rancher, taking his
place in the bow of the boat.
Gently and slowly the dinghy was
propelled, not to frighten the game.
When within about twenty feet Of the
swaying fin the RATA went circling out
over the water and dropped cleverly
over the dorsal fin of the sunfsh. The
moment it touched, the great fish shot
partially out of water, giving us good
view of it's truly extraordinary dimen-
sions. Then, with rush and splash,
it dived, jerking the moose hard and
fast.
For few moments it was lively
dance, and the antics of the lariat-
thrower in getting out of the way Of
the rope and in high and lofty tumb-
ling would have done credit to pro-
fessional. The great fish was thor
oughly alarmed, and was apparently
sounding" rushing to the bottom at
q great rate, SO that the line that was
finally got clear rushed over the gun
vale with force that fairly made it
smoke.
The finale had to come soon, and it
did. The end of the rope was reached,
and with a terrific jerk the boat
dashed ahead, bow under, and one or
two sunhsh hunters went down igno-
minously into the bottom among the
oars and bailers. The boat was small

RoPNG THE MOLA, OR SUNF1SH.
an eye shot, and the man who is good aroun'
at hnll's-eves will get it' we cou

around, as the sunfsh dived before
we could get alongside, reappearing
about 200 feet away and moving
sharkwise, with its fin just above the
surface. The harpooner, or rather
the one who aspired for the honors,
took his place in the bow, and the
boat dashed ahead. But again the
fish sounded, leaving us in the lurch,
and half dozen times this willy mola
played this trick. Finally we man
aged to run up just as it rose, our har-
pooner threw his weapon, and fell
back in shower of spray thrown by
the fish. Curiously enough the fish
doubled, at once turned and dashed
under the boat, half filling it before
we could clear the line that filed and
hummed in the cut-water in a omln-
Gus fashion. An oar was put out as.
tern and after a little engineering,
during whicn tlp.over was imminent,
the dinghy was turned around.
The sunfsh might have weighed 900
pounds. He certainly pulled as
though he tipped the scales at thou
sand, and with motive most disagree
able to the man at the other end of
the line. Imagine gentle pull and
steady strain and then jerk from a
fish that puts 800 pounds of dead
weight into it's effort, and some idea
can be formed of the sport. The
course OF the fish WAS erratic. 1t ap-
parently did not move directly ahead,
but with billowy motion, OCCASION
ally varying this by diving downward,
with force that was irresistible,
tearing the rope over the gunwale and
far from pleasant. There was but one
thing to do, let the fish tire itself out,
and, grouped in the stern, we let the
monster 60 plunging through the
waves, creating mass of foam ahead
of us. Gradually the pace grew slower
and we began to take in the slack, and
after much hard work had our game
alongside, when he seemed disposed
to ram a hole in the bottom of the
boat with his long, horn-like fin; but
turn of rope secured him, and
heading for shore we soon had our
second srlnfsh high and dry on the
beach, some halt-breeds helping us to
haul it out, bargaining for the liver
for their share. We had no means to
determine the weight OF the big fish
but by guess, and that was at least 600
pounds. No man in the party could
drag it along the sands more than q
foot OF rtwo.-San Francisco Chronicle.

BIG SEA GAME.
IMMENSE SUNFISH THAT FUR.

joyed in Southern Cali
fornia Waters.

WOE were cruising off the
\N/ Coronado Islands, sur
Y v feited with fishing and
kindred sports and anx-
ious for something to turn up, when
old Captain Rawson, the skipper OF
the yacht, made this proposition: "lf
you gentlemen don't mind taking in
Ensenada for while can show you
some good sport with the sunfsh
What is sunfsh? Well, some folks
call it the wormfsh, and some one
thing and some another. They caught
one at Redondo some time ago that
was ten foot high. Down by Ensenads
I have always seen number, and It's
good sport shooting them with a
rifle"
Not many hours later we were down
the coast by Ensenada, where we
drifted in dead calm for several days.
Finally we we're rewarded with a
glimpse of sunfsh. We had the
dinghy out and were rowing around
the shore of the bay. The sea was as
calm as water could be "a literal ocean
of glass, the dead calm that comes 30
often on these waters on summer days.
We had pulled possibly mile when
the skipper pointed away to the sea-
ward, and after a few moments look
ing we saw what appeared to be spar
sticking out of the water. Then it
disappeared to rise again. Appar-
emily it was rolling to and fro in the
swell that came into the bay.
"There's the game" said the skip
per. "Now, the idea is to bring it
down with q rife shot. You can shoot
it all day through the fin and back
and it won't wake up, if it happens to
be asleep. Its skin is so tough that
the chances are your forty-four bull
lets will glance. You want to wait for

All Snakes Do Not Hiss.

The popular idea that all snakes hiss
is incorrect when anacondas are in
question, if we may believe close OBJ
server of the serpent family. The
sound they make is more like growl
than hiss and has been well de-
scribed by a recent traveller as a
Glow, roaring noise" Their powers
of deglutition are sufficiently wonder
full to make exaggeration unnecessary,
creditable witnesses testifying to the
fact that one has been known to swal-
low horse, while bullocks are not in
frequently attacked also. Few nom
scientific readers, by the way, are
aware that not only do the jaw hinges
of the boa tribe become dislocated in
the act of swallowing large animal,
subsequently resuming their proper
position by means of the elastic con-
Meeting tendons, but that the skull
bones separate centrally, so that the
whole constitutes sort of quadrangle

powers of expansion.-Detroit Free

and the fish was big, and it required
some little skill to prevent the dinghy
from shipping more water than was
comfortable. The fish made directly
out to sea, and swan 30 deep that the
bow of the boat was kept we'll under,
SO that she made good swell of her
own by piling into the stern and light.
ening the bow, an exciting run OF
several hundred yards was made, the
fish now and then turning, jerking the
line over the side and diving in way
that threatened capsize.
How far the dinghy would have
been towed is q question. It was evi.
dent that it was time to try to turn
the tables before we we're taken to sea,
so the line was led aft and all hands
clapped on. At the first pull the fish
made savage rush, taking out the
slack we had gained, but another hold
was secured and gradually we drew
near the fish after ten minutes of hard
pulling, getting it on the surface,
when it was seen that the lariat was
fast about foot from the point of
the fin and that every pull threw the
nose of the fish into the air, so tend
ing to keep it at the surface.
The monster now appeared to see US
for the first time and made series of
desperate rushes for the bottom, but
was brought up with a round turn by
the rope, all hands standing by it.
As the fish was determined to remain
out of sight, in q fit of gigantic sulks,
we hauled away and vigorous strug-
gle brought our game alongside, where
it beat the boat with its fins and made
strenuous efforts at escape. Another
rope was thrown about the fin, q
boathook fastened into the curious
mouth, and the dinghy was headed in
shore. After long pull the game
was pulled out on the beach, and af-
ter being propped up with oars, was
found to measure nearly ten feet in
length, one of the largest found here.
The sport had proved 30 exciting
that the following day we tried it
again, one of the party wishing to ex-
pertinent with harpoon. The hot
sun was an invitation to the sunfsh,
and near noon we saw fin off the
point, toward which we pulled. The
news had evidently been passed

which incidentally afford an attractive

ances not connected with any source
of motion, and yet the needles move
all the time from right to left, and
sometimes swing quite around the cir

is that the return current from the
