Mr.. L. N. Oglesby, Of ST. Louis, to

Everybody knows that the medi-

cause of physical defects, and it has
been announced by the examiners that
weakness of the heart was the pre-
vailing trouble leading to rejection.
The tobacco heart is well known
to medical men and to thousands of
cigarette fiends, to their sorrow. Gig
arettes are VIGOROUSLY influential in
producing weakness of mans most
important organ, and cases are COM
mon OF young men, who had become
victims to the habit, suddenly dying
of heart disease. Gen. Lincoln, of
Iowa, has warned militiamen against
the use of cigarettes. and his example
ought to be followed by his brother
officers. In fact, it would be grand
thing for the men and the country
they serve if an ironclad regulation
was made forbidding the use Of these
coffin tacks by United States SOL

THE SCHEDULE.
What Games are to be Played
During the Remainder of
the Season.

Some very hot contests scheduled--Ey.
cry one OF the games will be interest
ing--TwO more teams are to come
from Ohio Grove City has Cancelled
and Uniontown will be played twice
more--0ne game Is there and one
Here Fairmont will be met Again.
Anderson is Declared Elected as Cap
tain mt Uniontown- The large series
of games begins on next Friday.
Four Of the five remaing games are to
be PLAYED Mt Home-- All OF these
should be victories
Manager Sweeney of the base ball
team has a splendid schedule ar
ranged for the rest of the season.
Among these he has two games with
Uniontown. These are bound to be
intensely interesting and will be at
tended by very large crowds. One
of them will be on the home grounds
and one at Uniontown.
The team will go to Uniontown ON
Friday and will come back here on
Saturday for the final game. Grove
City college cancelled much to our
regret. Had they come here they
would have been defeated and as
they are the strongest team in all
that section the victory would have
been a brilliant one. The game at
Uniontown will attract large mum
Der of rooters who will see one of the
very best games OF the season. In
addition to this attraction there are
a number of the boys who will want
to see various charmers who were
met on the recent trip down there.
On Monday or Tuesday another
Ohio team will be here. Mount I'm
ion college will have a game with us
and of course anything from Ohio
will have to take It's medicine. This
will be the first time we have ever
met a team from that college and the
event will be an interesting one.
Otterbein is scheduled for We'd
nesday and this will also be hot
game. In fact all the games for the
rest of the season will be intensely
interesting.
To conclude the season we viii
play the Fairmont team which de-
feated the boys on recent visit to
that place. We are in hopes that
here we will be able to do better and
the defeat will be made all right by
victory for us.
At Uniontown on Monday Scott
Lowe resigned and three candidates
were nominated. Anderson receiv-
ing five votes out of twelve was de
clared elected. The other candidates
received four and three votes re
spectively.

The West Virginia Troops will not Go

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, May 31-The
Chattanooga Times denies the report
that the West Virginia boys will go
to Manila, and says:
'There was a camp rumor Satur-
day night to the effect that the First
West Virginia infantry had been or
dered by the War Department to Ma
Mia. Upon investigation it was
ascertained that the regiment is not
supplied with guns, while many of
its men have not even secured uni
forms. The story was well circulated,
and caused considerable excitement.
Who originated the story is not known,
but there is no truth in it.
Mr.. Grant, who sent the dispatch
to Fairmont, is correspondent for
one Of the local papers, and was no
doubt the victim of rumor to which
the Times refers.

LOOK OUT.
The Supreme Court Declares Part of
the Ole0 Laws Unconstitutional.

tAiC OACV l1dNS
The supreme court of the United
States recently decided the prohibit
tory oleomargarine laws Of Pennsyl-
vania and other states to be uncon-
stitutional and void so far as they
affect interstate commerce. The de-
cision rendered only applies to the sale
of oleomargarine brought into Penn
sylvania from other states as a matter
OF interstate commerce, and Goes not
apply to the prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of the article within
this state. The state would seem to
have the right of prohibition as to the
manufacture and sale of a product
within its own limits. Whatever re-
lief the decision gives as to these out
rageous and nonsensical oleomar-
garine laws will be welcomed by the
people. The laws have been a scan
dial and a source of corruption in their
administration, have brought the law
making into contempt and have been
dead letters as to their enforcement.

the Fight.
When the news was received last
night from the Pittsburg Times that
the American fleet had forced an en-
trance to Santiago harbor and that
the battle was then on every one
got excited and great many con
lectures and comments arose The
opinion was that the Spaniards had
very little chance to do much except
to take sound thrashing and the
expression was often heard of feel
ing OF disappointment over the spoil
ing OF the Spanish fleet when we
might have had it intact and adj
ded it to the navy.
There was not the slightest doubt
that the Americans would tear the
Spaniards all to pieces and the fact
thar the harbor was we'll fortified
was only expected to add interest to
the fight and not prove at all dan
gerous to the fleet under Schley
The first papers which reached the
town were gone down on greedily
and the excitement grew as the
hours went on and further details
of the conflict were reserved.

THE WAR PROGRESS.
A Few of the Things thathave
been done in the last
twenty-four hours.

A big battle is said to have
occurred at Santiago although
the department at Washing
ton has received no official
advices of the fight. One re-
port has il that Schley started
the fight and another says
that Sampson IS to be given
the credit. However it is al
most certain that there has
been fight.
Night before last two torpe-
do boats stole out from Cev-
eras fleet and tried to blow up
the Texas and the Brooklyn
but they were discovered and
repulsed.
Another big expedition has
been landed on the coast of
Cuba. 1t consisted of more
than four hundred men with
arms and ammunition in large
quantities for the insurgents
Couriers from Cuba state
that Garcia is in splendid
shape and that he has ten
thousand men under him.
They are we'll armed and are
in splendid spirits.
Vice President Capote of
the Cuban republic is believed
to be captured and the latest
advices confirm the first news
of the capture.
1t is believed that troops
are now on the way to Santa
go to help Schley and that
the reason that this place will
be taken first is that it is the
best base from which to dis
tribute food to the Suffering
Cubans.
The number of men to 90
to the assistance and support
of Dewey has been steadily
raised and it is now thought
from what can be learned that
twenty thousand men will be
sent to the Philippines.
Spain is trying to provoke
a quarrel with England and
it is supposed that she has
received assurance of support
from some other country in
Europe if England takes a
hand in the row.
Sampson is reported to be
near or at Santiago. He left
Key West on Monday but he
is not thought to have had
time to get to the place where
he IS reported as seem.
The Pope denies that he
has addressed a letter to Nc
Kinley praying him to bring
the war to a close. This he
says would have been unpre-
cedented and has not even

THE MYSTERY OF THE SHADa
Nothing Known of the Fish After It
 Leaves Our Rivers.

Nothing Known of the Fish After It
 Leaves Our Rivers.
 Delaware shad have always been looked upon, by Philadelphians partic- ularly, as the finest favored fish of the kind taken from any river in the Union. Therefore epicures will welcome the announcement that the shad is now be- ginning it's annual entry into the Della ware and that a few made their ap- pearance last week in the city market The movements of the shad are of much interest and more mystery to ichthyologists and fish culturists. Be- yond the period when the fish is in the river almost absolutely nothing is known of it's habits. It belongs to a class known as anadromous fishes that is, those whose home is in the sea, but who come into fresh water to spawn. From the time the egg is de- posted to the time the fish reaches maturity and becomes a spawner there is a period of three years, and the first five or six months of this only are spent in fresh. water.
 When the water of the Delaware in the spring reaches a temperature of 60 degrees or over the shad enter from the sea in great shoals, the males first and the females about two weeks later It was supposed for some years that the males entered first in order to find suitable nesting places, but this as- sumption is now known to be false from the discovery that the shad does not make a nest, as many other spe- cies of fish do, and the real reason for their appearing first must remain, for the present at least, as one of the mys- teries which surround the movements of this fine food fish.
 The spawning grounds of the shad are the large pools in the Delaware above Trenton to the headwaters, and it is for this reason that the erection of dams in the river would destroy the fisheries in a very few years. It is
The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-05-05

true that there are also spawning grounds at the head of Timber Creek and few other streams below Tren- ton tributary to the Delaware, but they are of very small extent, and could not begin to accommodate the number of fish which come in from the sea every year. The average female shad deposits anywhere from 60,000 to 9O,000 eggs. Of these it is estimated that not more than 10 per cent. are matched, the remainder either not be- ing fertilized or else are destroyed by the many other fish in the river. Of those left it is estimated that 90 per cent. are devoured. Thus out of 30,000 eggs laid only about a5 or 30 young fish reach the sea in safety. It is in the matching of shad that man outdoes na ture, for out of every 30,000 eggs man. by artificial methods, can cause 90f per cent. to be matched, against the 10 per cent. of nature. The young artificially matched must be placed almost imme- diately in the natural breeding grounds and assuming that 90 per cent. of these little creatures will be devoured by larger fish, there will still remain 2,7oo tO ISeiCH tlG SC1t d5e1iiSL Ao oA oV Dy natural matching. It may be stated here that in conseuence of the greatly increased demand within the last few years, if 1t were not for the artificial matching, the shad would by this time have almost disappeared from the Del aware and from all other streams for that matter.
 After matching the young shad grow very rapidly, feeding on small flies and water animalculae. By September they are from three to four inches long, and then as the water grows colder they begin making their way in vast shoals to the sea. As soon as they reach deep water all trace of them is lost-Philadelphia Ledger.
