MackereI Fishing a Failure.

The salt mackerel catch of the entire

rels in 1895. 80, 954 barrels in 1894, 26, 619
barrels in 1898, and 40 43s barrels in 1892
BY these figures it will be seen that the
seasons catch is decidedly small, and the
season is far enough advanced, it may be
stated with certainty, that the catch for
1897 will be a complete failure for this
branch of the fisheries. The failure of
the mackerel fishery is a bitter disappoint-

Here is a case where the pain inflicted
on a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. J. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 27o
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
when my son, Will, was sig years
old, small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began to grow. 1t
gave him a great deal of pain, and con
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation wa9
a severe one, but thought it was thu
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many rem
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try SIS.

The belt is already swarmed with buy
ers. There are four or five of them in
every town. They visit the orchards and
bid on the crop as it hangs on the trees,
guessing at what the trees will yield, tax
ing all chances on the brief period be-
tween the date of the contract and pick
ing time. When be is ready to harvest,
the buyer makes his appearance on the
farm, bringing his own pickers and gath
ers and barrels the apples with skilled
labor. Nine-tenths of the crop in the H.
linois apple belt will be disposed of in
this way the present season. The king of
the apple buyers of the Illinois belt will
buy outright between thirty and forty
orchards and will gather his fruit with
100 practiced pickers.

Save for canning, the apple crop has
not begun to move, but the finest peach
crop ever known at Centralia is now going
to market at the rate of three and four
cars day. The Southern Illinois peach

when they get 60 cents and 20 cents

but it is something of surprise to find
how all of the farm and orchard products
are approaching in Southern Illinois.

IN THE COURT OF ORDINARY.
Demand For IA Settlement of the
j. Il. Cohen Estate.

J. Il. Cohen Estate.
The court of ordinary convened for the
November term yesterday. A number
of matters were brought to the attention
of the ordinary and considerable bust
ness was disposed Of
Rules nlsi were granted by Judge Fer
rill against Solomon Krouskoff, as admin
istrator OF the estate of the late Jacob
T. Cohen. upon the petitions of Isadore
Collat and Harris Wilensky.
Mr.. Collats petition states that he is
a creditor of Jacob T. Cohen, deceased,
to the amount of Sl,139.7S. the same being
just and undisputed claim, the particu-
lars of which were duly furnished by him
to Mr.. Krouskoef, who qualified as ad-
ministrator of the estate of Jacob T. Co.
hen on Aug. 5, 1896. The petition asserts
that the administrators year for the
administration of the estate has
elapsed, that he has failed to settle his
accounts and wind up the affairs of the
estate, though he has assets of said de-
ceased in his hands with which to pay
the claim of petitioner or some part
thereof.
The same state of facts is alleged in the
petition of Mr.. Wilensky, his claim against
the estate of the deceased being $577O9.
A rule was issued upon each petit
ton requiring Mr.. Krouskoff as adminis-
traitor, 10 appear before the ordinary on
Nov. u to make answer to the petitions
and to settle his accounts as administra-
tor of the estate.
Applications to sell property were grant
ed as follows: To Horace A Crane, guar

the wine lake. The object of all of these
precautions is to maintain the wine at
uniform temperature
The cement wine tank is 104 feet long,
"a feet wide and a feet high. From the
exterior, however, it appears as gigantic
mound. In the center is a manhole three
feet in diameter, which will serve to allow
the passage of a workman to clean out the
cistern when empty, while two four-inch
pipes are the medium through which the
wine Is pumped into the reservoir. 1t has
been so placed, it's bottom being a little
above that of the cellar, that the contents
may be drawn off by gravitation. To this
end a tunnel, four feet in diameter has
been built through which run six-inch
pipes, communicating with the 25-C00-gal-
lon wooden tanks in which the wine is
aged previous to being placed in barrels
and shipped.
The cost of the wine reservoir was re-
duced one-half from the fact that the
sand and gravel were obtained right on
the spot. the Russian river being only a
few hundred feet distant and containing
in its dry bed 2lliof the material required
As it was, the cost was $500 There are
several Advantages to be derived from the
construction of the concrete and cement
cistern. One of these, 1t is expected. will
be that the wine will be maintained at
equal blending of 100000 gallons of wine
at one time. A third is the saving in in
surances This is calculated at the rate of
$3.50 per annum, which in five years would
repay the cost of construction
1t was necessary and not choice, how
ever, which led to the experiment, proba-
bly, so fruitful in its consequences. The
grapes of the Italian-SWiss colony were
sufficient to fill entirely its cooperage, and
neighboring vineyardists, desiring to sell
their products TO a member of the Wine
makers Corporation some means had to
be devised to care for these grapes The
crushing machinery and the fermentation
apparatus were sufficient, but the problem
was what should be done with the wine
The idea of the concrete cistern was
preached and adopted. q g" 1.j -oe
Only forty-five days, however. remained
for its execution. A large number Of la
borers was, therefore, employed, and they,
by working day and night, were enabled
to complete the task In exactly the time
allowed. Forty-five days after beginning
the tank it was done, and only one days
delay was Gagged in the picking and crush
ing of the grapes. Thursday last the proc
cess of filling the gigantic receptacle with
wine was begun, Pumps We're SET to work
on both four-inch pipes, and by Saturday
night 1t had been half-hlled. BY Wednes-
day night the immense quantity of wine
will be in place.

This dreaE monster is called consumption
The approach of consumption is slow and
lpsidious. First there is a slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are not
properly assimilated. The uood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve
Old tissues of the body are not properly re-
placed by new. The lung tissues are not
properly nourished and are inert and half
dead. In this condition they offer a good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them.
This operation is promptly reversed by
