The most wonderful city within
the limits of the United States, and
which has no existence whatever
during the summer months, is Fish
City, Mich. This municipal oddity
is built on the ice of Saginaw bay
regularly every winter and is occu-
pied by men and their families who
are engaged in catching, cleaning
and packing lake: trout and white
fish for the market. Fish City is
situated in the same cove nearly ev-
cry winter and is built of rough
pine boards. In the winter of 1894
it had population of nearly 5000
and in 1694.5 almost twice that
number.-St. Louis Republic.

TIE COLUMBIA CALENDAR

During the past week we received
one of the above named calendars
from the Pope Manufacturing Co.
of Hartford, Conn. The Pope
Mfg. Co. are the manufacturers of
the celebrated Columbia bicycles.
The Columbia calendar is one of
the most unique things that We
have ever seen in the way of q
calendar. Its leaves are full of
beautiful illustrations and it is well
adapted for all business men. 1t Is
30 arranged that one can keep a re-
cord of each days transactions.
We take pleasure In recommending
the Columbia calendar to our many
readers, and we feel confident that
all those who will take the trouble
to order one will be well pleased
with the same. Any one can pro-
cure it by sending ten cents worth
of stamps to the Calendar depart
ment of the aforenamed manufac-
turing company.

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARENA
PUBLISHING COMPANY.

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARENA
PUBLISHING COMPANY.
On petition of the creditors of
the Arena Publishing Company
made October l, 1896, before Judge
Dunbar to appoint temporary re-
ceiver, A. d. Chandler, Esq, vas
appointed for the protection and
adjustment Of the interests of the
creditors during a reorganization of
this company. The officers of the
company did not contest the petit
ton, feeling that it is for the best
interests of al parties concerned as
an equitable plan pending the bust
ness changes to be made.
The Arena Company will be re-
capitalized by experienced business
men and placed in new hands and
on a firm financial basis, the maya
zine to be an open court for the
PRONUNCIATION Of all authoritative
and important opinions.
The business of the Arena, both
as a magazine and as a book-pub-
fishing house, has had quite a
phenomenal growth, but had not
sufficient capital to handle the
business into which it had devel-
oped. With the reorganized COM
pany the Arena will be enabled to
extend its growth and add to Its re-
putatiOn now so well established,
In the success of which all readers
and thinkers feel a personal interest
on account of the national influence
which this publication has at
tanned.

PROFANITY.

Who would have thought thai
there exists In the Revised Ordi-
nances Of Salt Lake City, q proyi-
sion against profanity Such.
nevertheless, i the fact. On page
29l and 46 of ordinances of 1892,
appears the following: "Any person
profaning the name of the Deity
within the limits of said city, shall
be liable to . fine not exceeding ten
dollars, or to imprisonment not ex-
ceeding Eve days, or to both fine
and imprisonment"
The Broad Az does not pose as .
reformer, but believes that statute
or ordinance should, if either is =
dead letter, be wiped from the stat
ute books. The vicious or profane
win respect the Law only when it is
enforced.
The necessity of this ordinance
cannot be questioned. A person
cannot walk q block on the bust
ness streets of this city, without
being compelled to listen to the
most offensive profanity. Oh, but
says the guilty, it is vomanish to
complain or take notice of such a
thing. 1t is commended that femi-
nine men and silly women are the
only ones who are offended by such
language.
Such is not the case. Every
true man or woman is offended by
hearing the name of the Deity pro-
famed. Profanity is not in keeping
with Christianity, or the feelings of
q refined and cultured people.
But granting that profanity does
not offend the male portion of our
population, We cannot escape the
fact that it is very offensive to
women, and bad example to set to
little children.
A tipsy or drunken man found
upon our streets or walks Is at once
arrested and punished accordingly.
He may not have profaued, but his
only offense perhaps consists In
taking up q little more than his
proportion of the walk. He may
not have obstructed the way of a
single person.
On the other hand he could have
left the intoxicants alone, and have
stood upon any of the corners
Main street and profaned the nance
name of the Diety from sun riset
sun set without any one to molest
or make him afraid. In other
words, the ears of ten thousand
people may have been subjected to
his offensive profanity notwith-
standing the ordinance quoted.
The examples stated are not over
drawn as nearly every days history
will verify. What is going to be
done?

A Great Event.

When 1t Is once known that over one
sixth of the entire population of the
United States are enrolled in the Sunday
Schools of our country, tho problem OF
Sunday School organization, equipment
and teaching comes TO be a nationsl one.
The greatness of this fact being realized,
no one can longer be indifferent TO what
Is being done for the success Of this
work. II is, therefore, interesting to
know that for nearly 40 years an organi-
zatior has existed, increasing in size and
influence yearly, for the prosecution Of
this work.
More than go States, Territories and
Canadian Provinces are organized. and
are holding district meetings and annual
conventions and conferences to increase
the efficiency ana improve the work of
the schools.
Once in three years all these bodies
Join in Triennial International Conven-
ton, to which each OF the States and
Provinces send their delegated. Seven
such conventions have been held already.
The eighth is TO be held in Boston, in
fremont Temple, June 1926. 1t will be
possible, therefore, for all of New Eng
personal relation with this great system
of Sunday School education.
In TINS convention legislation affecting
directly one-sixth of the population OF
the United States and Canada will be en-
acted. In this particular its legislative
function will have wider scope than the
Congress of the United States or the Do
minion of Canada.
New England Is honored with this
great convention and will give IL hearty
welcome.

DARK DAYS IN KENTUCKY.

The Louisville Courier-Jou Journal, Colonel
HENRY WATrERsoN's paper, sees nothing
but the bottomless pit for the Kentucky
Democracy since the State convention
came out for free silver. Says the Courier
Journal editorially:
"They (the Democrats) have repudiated
the only President the Democratic party
has elected and seated for 30 years. They
have repudiated the most distinguished
OF Kentucky's living sons and the greatest
Democratic intellect in the United States.
They nave suit upon the fathers of the
party whose name and organization they
claim, have proclaimed JEFFERSON an
ignoramus, JACKSON a conspirator, BEN
TON knave. and CLEvELAND a traitor.
For the faith, handed down through a
hundred years OF glorious party history,
every intelligent civilization on the globe,
and for the exronents of that faith they
have substituted such apostles of popu-
lism as STEWART, such exhorters OF
socialism as TILLMAN, such evangels OF
auarchism as ALTGELD.'
And the worst OF il Is the Democrats OF
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio are all moving
in the same direction. The boundary OF
the free silver section within the Demo-
cratic party is drawn well to the eastward
of the Mississippi Valley, but that OF the
Republican territory is pushed back far
into the West.
