FISHES WITH HIS HANDS.
Conway Drives Into Deep Creeks and
Hunts Cut the Scaly Game.

Hunts Cut the Scaly Game.
LAwRENCEBURG Ind, June 2S.-Capt
Whitcomb. a conductor on the b. and
O. S. w. Railroad, and a party OF
railroad friends were fishing last week
in the waters of Big Creek. The rail
road party proved a little slow in catch
ing fish aud We're considering the ad-
visibility of moving their camp. when
John Conway, Of Dilsboro, called on
them, and assured them that down in
the depths OF the still and dark waters
there was an abundance of the desired
game. and he would prove it to them.
The water was from twelve to twenty
feet deep 1T that point, and as placid
as a pond.
Stripping off his clothes Conway as
tOnished the two dozen spectators by
diving to the bottom OF the silent wa
ters and after some moments OF SuS-
pense, when the men upon the bank
had begun to get alarmed at his pro
ionge absence, he arose to the surface
spoutinr like a whale, and holding in
each hand fish weighing several
pounds After breathing spell he
again descended to the rayless depths
of the dark stream, and again returned
ed with a couple OF fish. Nine times
this norman repeated the trick, and
in the space OF an hour came SWIM
ming to the shore with one or two fish
at a time until he caught fourteen, the
combined weight of which amounted
10 twenty-one pounds.
His feat was considered remarka-
bic one by the railroaders, who had
never heard Of the wonderful preform-
andce before. But there are hundreds
of persons who can attest to the ability
Of Conway to catch fish in the manner
described Many persons have seen
him achieve greater success IN that dl-
rection that he did last Friday. Par
ties OF would-be fishermen after failing
to catch any of the fnny tribe in the
usual way with hook and line and net,
on hearing Of this Hoosiers success IN
his peculiar style, have paid him
handsomely to drag from the bottom
of the creek or pond the reluctant fish:
His reputation as a successful and
scientific catcher Of the scaly backed
game by his unique method IS known
to all who frequent the waters Of these
inland lakes and creeks. Conway is
about 40 years of age and spends al,
most as much time on the water and
in the water as he does on land. He
has studied all his life the nature and
habits of the fish that inhabit the
waters with which he is familiar, and
knows where and how to find them.
He never uses seins or line, but plum
ees into the water, feels under the
rocks at the bottom of the streams or
in the cervices, at the base OF their
banks, and with his long and bony
fingers pulls them from their hiding
places.
He says that when not more than
years of age his father taught hum to
SWIM and frolicin the water, and gave
him instructions how to catch fish IN
the manner the Indians had done long
before white man came with balted
hook and line to tempt them to their
destruction. Some of Conway's feats
would appear incredibleunless witness
ed by the doubling ones.

Yesterday the case of the state Of
Oregon VS.. N. Bains, charged with IL
legal fishing in the Columbia river, was
tried before Judge Mcbride on an ap-
peal from the justice court. Balm was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Weeks some
thing like a year ago for fishing out
Of season and the case tried befoR
Judge Clevelands court. He was found
guilty and a fine imposed. His trap is
located abreast of the Fort Stevens
lighthouse, and he claimed 1t was not
in the Columbia but on the open coast.
1t Is a valuable trap and NE was pre-
pared to fight hard for his claims.
a number Of pilots and marine men,
together with Supt. Hegardt, OF the
lefty. were present and gave testimo-
nv both for the defense and the prose
cution. Judge Mcbride was inclined to
the opinion that in framing the law
prohibiting salmon fishing on the Col
umbia II was intended to cover such
cases, but tile evidence introduced
tended to show that the law was de-
fective. and it would be rather far
fetched to include the location of Mr.
Balne's trap within the boundary lines
Of the Columbia river. In rendering
his decision Judge Mcbride did not at
tempt to define what included the
boundary lines of the Columbia, ex-
cent that the general inference was
that the river extended to where fresh
and salt water met and formed what
is known as the Columbia River bar.
The case was dismissed

SALMON MARKET.

1t has been many years, says the Sar
Francisco Herald of Trade since tho
market was so well cleaned up. The
largest packers on the coast, the Alas.
l0a Packers Association, are we'll clean
ed up. 1t looks as though supplies in
first hands will be cleaned UP before
the next season opens. Gamers on the
Sacramento and Columbia rivers are
getting ready for the new season. The
Alaska Packers Association is fitting
out vessels with supplies. There will
not be any increase in the number of
vessels sent north, which we should
think indicates that the pack will not
be increased.
The London Grocers' Gazette Febru-
airy 9uh says: Business has been consid-
erably hindered by the severity Of the
weather during the past week or two
and only a moderate demand can be
reported, Holders have not been dis
posed TO force sales by Offering at low
er prices, and rates are consequently
quoted steady. The Loahene, with $4,000
cases of salmon from San Francisco
is the next arrival expected at Liver
pool while the next boat direct for
London is the Crown of England, with
1900 cases.

A NEW THEATRE.
Fisher Brothers Having Plans Drawn
for a First-Class Amusement
House.

It will, in all probability, not be many
weeks before Astorians can enjoy a
first class show in a first-class theatre
in q playhouse that many cities much
larger than Astoria would feel extreme,
ly proud of. Fisher Brothers have de-
cided to change over their hall on 18th
and Exchange streets and by adding
thereto make comfortable and con
venient theatre, so arranged inside a;
to give a seating capacity Of between
600 and ZOO Architect j. E. Ferguson
has the plans wen under way and will
finish them within a day or so. 1t
is proposed to erect an addition or
the east side of the main building 5OX57
feet, and taking out the intervening
partition have a room 57X100 feet with
22-foot walls. The stage will be in tbs
east end of the room and at the other
end gallery will be built. The walli
win be lathed and plastered and beau
tifully decorated. Instead of the ordi
nary chairs heretofore used in Astoria
theatres, elegant opera seats Will be
put in. Running from point on Elk
change street to the stage entrance,
a roadway will be built so that a
wagon can be taken to the very door
of the theatre, They estimate that
these Improvements will cost about
$1,000.
The hall above the theatre will re-
main as 1t now is, with the exception
Of few needed improvements which
are to be made. The owners have al
ready provided babcock engine which
is kept in the building, and with lib
eral supply of buckets filled with wa
ter 1t will be pretty hard for a fire
to get started in that place. To avoid
any accident, however several iron fire
escapes will be run down to the side
walk on 18th street from the windows
of the hall

DIR. WALKERS VICTORY.
The Jury Finds for the Defendant ir
the Case of Olsen VS.. Walker.

the Case of Olsen VS.. Walker.
Yesterday the final arguments were
made in the case Of Olsen VS.. DR..
Walker for the recovery Of $125, alleg-
ed damages for property destroyed by
the defendant during his term as
as health officer at time when an
other man named Olsen was confined in
the pest house with smallpox. The
chest was said to be the property OF
the plaintiff and was burned at the in
stigation Of the health officer. The
Jury retired at II O'Clock a. m. and re-
mained out until $3.50 last evening.
About Sa5 p. m. they sent for Judge
Mcbride for further information. They
wished to know that II they found q
verdict for the defendant, If the plain
tiff would still have q right to recover
from the city. The Judge told them
that he would not at that time give an
opinion ON that question, and that 1t
was not for them to know. The case
for them to consider was as to wheth-
er the plaintiff had a right to recover
from the defendant, DR.. Walker. Judge
Mcbride then retired, and fifteen min
utes later the jury came in with a
verdict for the defendant.
The findings of the jury were as fol-
lows:
At the time of the destruction of the
property was the defendant actuated
by malice Of revenge or a desire to
useiessly or unnecessarily destroy prop
erty?
Answer-No.
At the time of the destruction Of the
property had the defendant any motive
or desire other than to prevent by the
destruction of the property the spread
Of the smallpox?
Answer-No.
Was the property destroyed by the
defendant in exercise of his judgment
or discretion as city physician?
Answer-Yes.
Verdict,-We the jury in the above
entitled action, find for the defendant.

LOOK UP, NOT DOWN
SpringDays Bring Good
Cheer to the Weak.
.PA|NE'S CELERY COMPOUND IN
THOUSANDS Of HOMES.
On Every Hand People Are
Getting Well.
The Great Spring Remedy
Makes One Strong.
Now Ordered by Physicians Every
where in March.
Now Ordered by Physicians Every
where in March.

Ali What avail the largest gifts of
Heaven
When dropping health and spirits go
amiss?
How tasteless, then whatever can be
given;
Health is the vital principle of bliss
Weak, tired-out men and women with
nerves "unstrung" and badly nourished
need Paine's celery compound. They
are especially urged to take it during
these early spring days Of March and
April, when the body is most suscep-
tible to its Strengthening influence.
OF the thousands Of men and women
with brains and hands all day actively
engaged, but whose physical powers
are little used, who imagine themselves
more dangerously sick than they are,
the vast majority are merely reduced
in strength and spirits and need moth
ing but vigorous tonic in the spring
to recuperate their tired nerves. They
need nothing so much as Paine's celery
compound. 1t exactly fills their need.
The infirmities peculiar to the aged
come from stagnating blood and the
tardy, scanty, production Of nerve
force. They should take Paine's cell
cry compound-there is no time so ia
vorable as March.
The rheumatism, neuralgia, sleepless-
ness, and lack of strength that Paine's
celery compound so rapidly dispels are
thus found to be mere temporary condi-
tions to which their time of life is
liable, and the cause of needless an
xiety.
Needless If they fully perceive the
meaning Of these infirmities and take
pains at once to correct the beginnings
of weakness and debility, as 1t is so
easy to do now in the spring.
Paine's celery compound is the great
spring medicine. 1t is prescribed by
countless physicians in cases of rheu-
matism, neuralgia, sleeplessness, and
the many results of starved nerves and
depleted blood. In every drug store
in tire country Paine's celery compound
is always to be obtained.
It is the worlds great remedy for
weakness. Its use year by year through
so large part of the civilized world
tells something of the good 1t must be
accomplishing. If men and women who
feel the effects of too close applica-
ton to work would use Paine's celery
there would be less irsom-
mia, less pain in the back of the neck
fewer days of utter physical eXhaus-
ton and incapacity for anything put
suffering. Its extensive use today Is
the cause of a vast alleviation of hui
man misery and despair Its presence
in the world is blessing. 1t has kept
the family circle whole in thousands
Of homes that are happy and grateful
today. Try it.
