some time that all was not right with
the cell occupied by Ward and Turner
and after the hanging had Turner
removed to another cell, when he found
ON close, examination that several of the
bars had been nearly sawn through with
knife blade and very deftly hidden.
No doubt had very favorable oppor-
tunity been given Ward he would have
made break for liberty.

THE Populists are confident that
Judge II. G. Caldwell will accept the
nomination for the Presidency on their
ticket. They are certain to be dis
appointed. Judge Caldwell will un-
doubtedly decline the nomination if it is
rendered him. He knows thing or
two about politics and he cannot be
misled into the belief that the Populists
have any chance to succeed in 1896.
We have no idea that Judge Caldwell
has given the Populists any right to
hope that he would accept nomination
at their hands, and when the offer is
made he will leave no room for further
doubt on the subject Little Rock

JNo. G. HUTcHTNs, postmaster at
Cleveland, o.. has suggested measure
for assisting the government IN main
tanning the gold reserve. His sugges-
ton is that all gold received at the
different postoffices throughout the
country-which in the course of year
amounts to large sum-instead of
being deposited in banks, as is now the
rule, be sent to the nearest sub treasury.
The plan is being favorably considered
by the treasury and postoffice depart
ments.

1T is reported that the case of the
State VS.. ex Treasurer Woodruff will
not be tried again, and that a nolle
prosequi will very likely be entered by
Prosecuting Attorney Pemberton when
the case is called at Perryville.
Although the ex Treasurer was con
victed year ago and given a year in
the penitentiary, the Supreme Court
reversed the case and a new trial is
therefore necessary.

Congressman Little, of the House

day secured the favorable report of an
amendment to the bill granting the

way right of way through the Indian
Territory, which gives the company the
right to build a branch road from the
main line into Fort Smith. The position
of the President is that the consent of
the Indian tribes must be procured
before Congress can grant rights of way
through the Indian Territory. which
has not been done in this case. but Mr.
Little says the committee is almost a
unit upon the proposition that the
demands of commerce and the interests
of the people of that country are
paramount to the sentimental objections
of the President.

The Story of the Salmon.

In the autumn time, and onward to
the beginning of the next year, the
mother salmon ascends the rivers to de-
post her eggs, and thus to secure the
continuance of her race. In connection
with this periodical visit or visits to the
river must be mentioned very curious
fact. The idea is entertained very
strongly by some authorities that n
salmon invariably returns to its native
river or that in which it was bred. 1t
has even been asserted by fishermen
that. when several rivers enter the sea
in one stream, as at Bonar Bridge. for
example, the salmon bred in each river
will pass back into their own water and
will avoid the strange streams The late
Frank auckland, n strong believer in
this instinct of the fish, regarded the
native river. Perhaps the truth is shat
for the most part salmon do return to
their own rivers, but the practice and
habit are not necessarily invariable.
We know the fishes certainly swim great
distances along coast lines. where they
are captured i'll stake and bag nets, and
it may well be the case that now and
then fish will turn into river that is
near in preference TO seeking its own
and distant water.
Arrived in her river, the mother
salmon begins to scoop out kind Of
trench in the gravel of the stream. This
she effects by blowing INTO the gravel
with her body. This trench is to be the
nursery Of her young. The eggs are laid
i'll tine furrow and are duly fertilized by
the male salmon. Then the trench is
filled in by the efforts of both parents,
the eggs are covered with gravel, and
the mound thus formed is called, in
fishers language, ''redd." How many
eggs mother salmon will deposit is, of
course, difficult question to determine,
but stock calculation maintains that
she produces about 900 eggs for every
pound she weighs Each egg in its di-
ameter measures about quarter Of an
inch. and it is estimated that 25. 900
eggs go to n gallon. Chambers Jour
nal.
