 This Is New Style Fish Story, and It's s
 Good One.
 Lew Emmet, proprietor of q grocery store and fish market ill Greensburg, Ind. while angling in q creek Saturday caught three peculiar fish the like of which he had never before seen, but which resembled the pickerel He hur- ried with them to his store, where he has in his show window an aquarium, and launched them again in watery home. Previous to their occupancy of the glass tank school of goldfish and silver sinners were in undisputed sway. The following morning, however, all the old Inhabitants were dead, and the surface of the water was covered with small bubbles. But the newcomers were as lively as ever.
 MT. Emmet took the dead fish from the aquarium, and, believing that their dead bodies had caused the impurity of the water, he drained the tank and again filled it from the eistern But bubbles came to the surface again, and tine puzzled man was forced to the be- lief that it was the unusual nature of the new fish that caused them. During Monday he was by the side of the tank much of his spare time, and finally reached into the water to catch one of his new pets. The moment one of them came i'll contact with his hand he felt a shock, as if from an electric battery. When he had recovered from his sur prise, 1t occurred to him that he had eX- perienced no such sensation when he took the fish from his hook on the bank of the creek. One of the many neighbor- ing tradesmen suggested that the electric fish-by common consent they were so called-exercised the faculty of shocking people only when under water. To prove this theory pair of tongs which did service in the days of grate wood fires were brought out, and between the points one of the fish was brought into the open air. MT. Emmet touched the sealy side of the fish, but there was no sensation like the one he had before ex. perieneed
 The merchant was not slow ill put ting his discovery to practical use. He eoiled wire around the tank and made d connection to the electric light wires in his store. The current from the city plant was disconnected, and it was found that the fish served the purpose as well. In addition to being his cleo trio lighting plant MT. Emmet's electric fish are also great attraction, for peo. pie from miles around come to see the wonders. .-Gleyeland Plain Dealer.

A MEAN COUPLE.

They Make Good Livelihood by Getting
 Married Often.
 One of the meanest confidence games on record is that which was played by a well dressed man and woman upon clergymen of several towns along the sound shore. The couple first appeared in Branford, Conn.,, where they visited the town clerk and procured marriage license Then they went to the house of q clergyman and were married. The groom after the ceremony handed the parson a $20 bill and told him to take 50 for his services. The minister did so and gave the newly welded husband $15 ill change.
 The couple left on the next east bound train, got of at Guilford and went through the same performance there In all they visited five towns between Glin. ton and New London, were married in each town and worked off five S20 eoun- terfeit bills. New York Press.

LETTERS BY WIRE.
Novel Combination of Typewriter and A
 Telephone.

Novel Combination of Typewriter and a
 Telephone.
 Scientists ill Europe are talking good deal just now about curious new machine, to which the name telescriptor has been given. As the name indicates, the object of the machine is to write down words spoken or sent from dis tance. The telephone. as at present con- structed, enables one person to hear all. other who is talking perhaps leagues away. The telescriptor, it is claimed, will enable any person to send written message to another person over a tele- phone.
 The teleseripter has been invented by a German scientist His machine is sim ply combination of the typewriter and the telegraph, and without 1t the invent or claims that the telephone cannot be regarded as complete. The manipula- tion of the machine is not more difficult than that of the typewriter, and, like the typewriter. the new instrument has keyboard, above which is placed the box containing the machinery
 The same wire which is used for tel ephonio communication is connected with the teleseriptor, and by means of a simple manipulation the current can be directed either into the telescriptor or into the telephone. Thus, when person wishes to use a telephone, after it has been furnished with this new ma chine, all he will have to do will be to turn on the current and then write his message on the typewriter. According as it is written the message will be flashed across the wire and an answer will be sent to him in the same man. her. New York Herald.

A BIG RESERVOIR.
Government Takes Up the Matter of Irri-
 gation In the West.

 Government Takes Up the Matter of Irri-
 gation In the West.
 Captain Hiram M. Chittenden of the corps of engineers of the United States army arrived in Denver the other day and called at the office of State Engineer Sumner to look over the typographical maps of Colorado, with view to select ing the most desirable site for great water storage reservoir.
 Captain Chittenden mission is one of extraordinary importance to the agri- cultural interests of Colorado and marks the commencement of federal interest in the western irrigation projects. The idea is to establish a government storage res eryoir or lake i'll the mountains on the eastern side of the divide, which will save huge volumes of water which now run to waste in the spring. The project will, when completed, open up vast areas of now arid region to cultivation.
 A start was made last spring, when congress passed the bill authorizing the construction of great federal reservoirs, one ill Wyoming and one i'll Colorado. The bill carried with 1t an appropria- tion of $s00, 900 to defray the expenses of the surveys and other preliminary work. "T have about decided that the proper place to locate the reservoir will be at the headwaters of the Platte, !" said Captain Chittenden. "The Platte is the great distributor of water in Col orado aud northwestern Nebraska I will start out in few days and look over the South park region, but active work cannot be commenced until the heavy snows disappear.

 There Will Probably Be Four Nominees
 For the Office.
 It is the intention of the silver Re- publicans in the house to keep distinct organization i'll the future. Unless 1t is decided to change their tactics the silver Republicans intend to hold caucus when the next congress meets and to vote for nominee for speaker. The Populists will do the same thing. and the outlook is that there will Do four full fledged nominees for speaker of the next house. Several silver men in the house said to reporter that either Rep resentative Newlands of Nevada or Rep- fesentative Hartman of Montana will be selected as the nominee. Of course they understand that the vote will be simply complimentary, but they intend to cast 1t.
 Representative Bell of Colorado was referred to in the house the other day as the Populist nominee for speaker. The Populists will decide this i'll caucus. MT. Bell and MT. Skinner are the men now spoken of. The Populists will not meet often in caucus with their late allies. They will caucus by themselves. The talk about the silver Republicans is significant as showing that they will not tie themselves to either the Demo- cratic or Populist party.
 The Republicans will nominate Reed for speaker, and the Democrats will have hot little contest to decide who shall be honored by complimentary vote for the same position. Washing tOO Star

The Cannon'S Circuit Contention ASSum-
Ing a Serious Aspect.
THREATS MADE BY MALCONTENTS
VIII Probably Join Another
Denomination.

Special Correspondence OF Gazette and } ournal
CannoD's May %. The trouble in
the Methodist Episcopal churches on
Cannon's circuit, resulting from the
attempt to have the circuit parsonage
located at Seaford, is becoming serious.
Officials of the churches Concord,
Bethel, Brown and WesIey-met at
Seaford last Saturday and the Concord
and Bethel representatives, being in
the majority, decided that the par
sonage shall be built at Seaford. The
Brown and Wesley people assert that
they did not know that the meeting
was called for the purpose of taking
final action and say that il they had
known such action was to be taken
they would have had larger dele
cation present and the result would
have been different. They contend
that if the parsonage is built at
Seaford their pastor, the Rev. George
E. Wood, will be too distant from
them and declares that it's erection
there will create debt OF more than
$500 and that its erection here will not
create any indebtedness.
A disruption of the congregation Of
Brown Church is threatened. Many of
its members vow that IL the parsonage
is built at Seaford they will withdraw
from the Methodist Episcopal Church
and join the Methodist Protestant
Church. The proposed exodus from the
Methodist Episcopal denomination is
being vigorously agitated and several
hundred dollars for the erection of a
Methodist Protestant Church here have
been contributed. Kig
