JAKE JONES UNDER ARREST.
Desperate in Jail Waiting to Answer to
Three Charges.

Jake Jones, the negro who was shot
while resisting arrest by officer Cakes
was early yesterday morning arrested
and is now in Jail. He is held to answer
three charges:
Beating a colored woman badly
near the Fair Grounds, for which Off
Ger Cakes tried to arrest him when he
had to shoot him in self-defense.
Resisting arrest and assaulting Officer
Cakes with a knife.
Striking Bud Dunston, who tried to
help Officer Cakes, and by the blow caus-
ing paralysis. This may result in a
charge of murder. Jones struck Duns-
ton, with a lath, while resisting Officer
Cakes and Dunston has been paralyzed
ever since. 1t is doubtful whether he
will live.
Jones has almost entirely recovered
from the effects of the wound inflicted
by Officer Cakes. When the officers
went to arrest him yesterday morning at
his home just before day, he at first re-
fused to come out of his house and sur
render. When he did come cooked
pistol was found in his pocket. The ar
rest was made by Officers WoodalI. John
Upchurch and George Upchurch.

THE COURT HOUSE VERY DIRTY
The Grand Judy Has Made Some Good
Recommendations

The grand jury in its report, at the
completion of its work for this term of
court, made the following recommended
tons:

in very dirty condition and recommend
that the whole house be renovated and

accommodation of witnesses.

in regard to both cleanliness and SANTA
ton. We examined the kitchen and con-

"a committee of five visited the Home
for the Aged and Infirm There are
80 inmates, 81 white and % colored.
The health of the inmates is very good
with the exception of one coored wo-
man, who has consumption. Without
making complaint, we would suggest
that the county physician give a little
more attention to the Home. The farm
is reported good.
"An inspection of the Work House
quarters was had in East Raleigh. The
jury reports that the quarters are in good
condition except in the sanitary arrange
ments, which are not considered as good
as its importance demands and the jury
recommends that it be looked after under
the direction of the health officer of the
county. There are 60 prisoners in the
Work Houses white males and 1 white
female; 81 colored males and 6 females.

prison rooms in the yard of the Home

Mysterious Failure of the Effort to
Stock tho Atlantic Coast Streams.
An interesting review of salmon fish
conditions in this country is made in
report of the United States fish COM
mission on artificial propagation of
salmon on the Pacific coast, says the
Washington Star. The conclusion
reached is that, although nature evil
IDENTIFY has designed that the quinnat
salmon shall not take up its abode
on the American shores of the Allan
tic, its breeding serves a legitimate
and valuable purpose in maintaining
the supply of its species in it's native
waters on the Pacific slope. This is
made apparent By the enormous drafts
on these fish by the canneries. The
report says the Battle Creek station
OF the California state commission
may soon pass into the charge of the
United States. This is the most ex-
traordinary place for collecting quin-
nat salmon eggs known. 1t is said TO-
100000 salmon eggs can be taken on
Battle creek in six weeks of favora-
BILE year. Salmon are on the increase
In the Sacramento and McCloud riv-
ers. It was the intention of the COM
mission to increase the salmon on the
Atlantic coast by restocking its de-
pleted salmon rivers. After millions
of salmon eggs were safely trans
ported to the Atlantic rivers no one
doubted that salmon were going to be-
come abundant again in the Atlantic
rivers, and many believed that several
southern rivers that had never had
salmon in them before would now be-
come prolific salmon streams. The re-
suit was a great surprise and disap-
pointment. The eggs Matched out; the
young fry grew rapidly, and were OBJ
served to go down in vast numbers to
the sea. What became of them will
remain forever mystery. Some
thought they wandered to the far
north. others that they strayed out
into the ocean and were devoured by
marine animals and larger fish. The
report lays it down as no longer open
to question that quinnat salmon, at
least those that spawn a long distance
from the ocean, never return to 1t
alive again. They all die on their
spawning grounds.

I was surprised at the little notice

E. F. Fiske In Grange Homes. I would
not expect to find 500 acres of wood
In one body in Massachusetts, that did
not contain a variety of thrifty, .valu-
able trees; thrifty because Of the sur
yival of the fittest of natures plant
Ing. II unthrifty 1t may be because of
the crowding of the less valuable
growth, The annual yield of such q
tract might be 500 cords. to remove
which would require much labor. To
remove 1t 80 the growth left would
each year be more valuable would re-
Qufre skilled labor. It would require
an overseer who knows the compare
tive value Of trees, skilled labor to fall
them so as not to injure those remain
ing. With saw and wedges the forester
has control of the tree that is impos-
sible where the ak alone is used. There
is no farm work that will yield the
owner more pleasure than will the
skilfull care of his forest land, and no
New England farm is complete with
out its woodlot. The annual growth
should be reckoned in the account as
much as the crops of. grain, hay or
fruit. But where are the skilled forest
ers that can be hired for such care or
oversight?

from what the management claimed

house and aroused the startled guests.
They were running here and there in
all kinds Of ridiculous costumes. One
man, simply attired in a night shirt,
wore also his high silk hat, and pre-
sented a ludicrous appearance as he
shot up stairs to his room, remember
ing some absurd trifle. he had forgot
ten, and overlooking all his real. val
uables. He had already been down to
the Office and back to his room three
times, but it never occurred to him
that silk hat and night dress were
an incongruous combination. AS he
shot up the stairs, on the third landing
he was stopped by a little old lady,
who wore sack and an ld-fashioned
poke bonnet.
"Oh, sir" she gasped.
what is it?" he asked.
would you-could you be SO kind

The man surveyed her in amaze
ment. as the people were rushing
around them apparently to save their
lives.
