J gram an anti administration journal,
with seeming authority, announces
that Walter Denegre has joined
forces with Senator McEnery and
Lieutenant-Go Governor Snyder, and a
combination formed with Snyder for
governor and Denegre and McEnery
for the United States Senate. 10
this array is added the name OF Sena-
tor Caffery, who will fight the adj
ministration, but will have no place
on the ticket, his reward to come in
an appointment on the supreme bench.
Denegre is supposed to be able to
wheel the city into line-while while
McEnery is to rally the sold guard
in the rural districts, Caffery to look
after the sugar influence. With
these influences organized a hot pace
will be made for the administration
before which the campaign of 1892
would have no significance.

his eyes fixed steadfastly upon the
meshes he is forming.
There is one industry at the wharf
which has no competition in this city. It
is that of dyeing or tanning the nets and
sails the rich brown color one observes
in the latter when they are drifting out
to sea.
This industry was established thirty
five years ago by Captain Barlow, who
began business at the Clay-street wharf
when the fishing industry was in its in
fancy here.
He died one year after removing 1t to
It's present quarters, and for twenty
years his son, William G. Barlow, has
tanned the flshermen's nets In the long,
low shed at the eastern end Of the wharf.
Here above brick platform are swung
five great caldrons, the smallest holding
two hundred gallons, and also the i'm
mense tanks in which the nets and sails
are plunged after being scalded for six
hours in a decoction of oak bark, twelve
tons of which are used every year for
this purpose.
Most Of the fishermen have their sails
dipped once a month, for which they pay
the sum Of S.. The process IS said, how
ever, to preserve them double the time
they would otherwise last.
AS 500 boats anchor at the wharf, for
which privilege each owner pays 81 per
month, the occupation of dyeing nets is
q considerable one.
Some time ago steam pipes for heating
purposes were introduced at considerable
expense, but the fishermen showed their
dislike of innovations so plainIy-in other
words grumbled necessarily about The
caIdrons boiling, though no fire was vfsi-
ble-that the pipes were taken out and the
Qld ana primitive manner reSOrted TO OF
building fire upon the platform under
each separate boiler.

are. When Manuel gets well enough to

Mary says something to her father in

eagerly: Wont you have some fish? -Iy

POINTER ON
MOSQUITOES,

When a man hears for the first tina
that it is the female mosquito that
does all the biting, it makes him feel right
glad. Further comfort is afforded by the
knowledge that the male mosquito has
probably the keenest musical sensibilities
Of any of his class of animals He has
quite brush Of hairs on his antennae
and with them he hears. Mayer stuck
one of his kind on glass plate and sound
ed tuning forks about When one tone
was made certain hairs would vibrate
while all the others were still. Another
tone would start another set to vibrating
and on. Also, if the tuning fork were
at one side of the mosquito the hairs on
that antenna trembled most violently, so
that when the male hears or rather feels
the voice of his beloved in one antennae,
he wheels about so that the vibration is
equal in both, and flies straight ahead to
meet her.
That is about all there is to the male
mosquito, though, except that he cannot
bite for the sufficient reason that he has
no apparatus with which to saw through
the skin. So to speak, he has the pumps.
but no drill. But the female is thoroughly
equipped for getting through even a poll
tician's hide. The only mystery is what
possesses her to want to bite at all. How
does she come by her hankering for blood.
The scientists give it up. If she laid her
eggs in the wound, like the carrion fly,
1t would be easy to answer the question,
but she doesn't. If she stung to defend
herself, like the wasp, it would be easy.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-08-20

then come down and bargain for the
amount needed on Friday.
The slips at the wharf are all filed with
the boats, which require from four to six
men to man them and the crowd upon the
wharf is greater than in the morning.
The boats have been out two, three, per-
haps four days, and the fishers are anx
ious to dispose of their catch and seek
their homes.

The DR.. Fox Case.

Prosecuting Attorney J. a. Collet
has not yet decided what he will do
in regard to the case of the state
against DR.. J. R. Fox, formerly of
Marceline, who stole the corpse of
Miss Leona Gates from the Bell
graveyard near Westville four or FIVE
years ago. Fox has twice been con-
victed of the C.Ime in the circuit
Court-once in Linn county and once
in this county-but the supreme court
has each time reversed the finding of
the Jury in the lower courts. 1t
seems that there is a requirement In
the statute whereby the state must
prove for what purpose a stolen corpse
is taken, which is very difficult thing
to do, as no one knows what uses DR..
Fox intended to convert the body OF
Miss Gates exc ept, perhaps, DR.. Fox
himself.
