Some Statistics.

Astoria, April 1.-THE fishing sea-

Der Of boats went out, and every cam

large scale at once, and. with the ex-
ceptionally good prices prevailing for
both raw and canned salmon, every in

As to the run of fish, OF course, moth.

conditions some decided results should

year the returns should be largely in

propagation on a systematic basis has
but just commenced on the Columbia,
still it has been carried on to some ex,
tent since 1895. and during that time
nearly 10000, 900 young salmon have
been placed in the river and its tribu

1t would be within the power of a
legislature to enact, if it chose. that a
man should be punished for murder by
death and a woman by Imprisonment.
But the tenderest sentimentalists
would hardly advocate this discrimina-
ton in the statutes. They would rather
appeal to the tenderness of the execu-
tive. II is only on the assumption that
a woman is not responsible member
of society that she can be exempted
from the ordinary penalties of crime.
This theory is no longer practicable,
whether it ever was reasonable or not.

Bridge Was Destroyed.

Chicago, Aug. IA special to; the
Times-Herald from Clinton, Ind, y
The old wagon bridge which has spanned
the Wabash river at this point for half a
century has been wrecked by electricity.
The county had bought the piers from
DR.. Bogart, the principal owner, he agree
ing to remove the superstructure to make
for a new bridge. Efforts were made
to burn the bridge, but it was found this
would iniure the pier, SO the sills were
wired and electricity applied. The cur
rent was turned on at 5 O'Clock this morn
ing, and at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon the
pile of timbers toprled into the river,
leaving the foundations unhurt. The
electricity had the effect of cutting all the
sills simultaneously, as with SO many
saws. This was the only toll bridge re-
naming in Indiana, and 1900 persons
sent up a mighty cheer as the spllntered
spans went tumblirg into water.
