A Fish Story.

Reports from various parts of the
low lands which were inundated to a
considerable depth by the high water
indicate that as usual in the time Of a
big rise, numerous large fish are
caught on the low lands by the re-
ceeding water, where they become an
easy prey to the fisherman and his
club.
A gentleman who lives up the Mus
kingum, while in the city Friday, told
the biggest fish story which anyone
has had the courage to repeat since
the recent unpleasantness. On Thurs.
day afternon three members of the
Buffalo lodge caught three fish also
belonging to the Buffalo species,
which weighed in the aggregate Is
pounds. And still some people prefer
to buy salty mackerel when they can
arm themselves with clubs and secure
as much fine fresh fish as they can
knock over.

Marietta Country Club.

The golf links are now completed
and ready for the use of members.
The tennis courts will soon be ready
Mr.. Fovargue, the golf instructor,
will arrive here next Tuesday. He has
been the golf instructor on the links
at Thomasville, Ga. for three winters
past. He will bring with him a stock
of clubs and balls. AS the grounds
are now partially open for use, the at
tention of all members is called to the
fact that no driving is permitted on
any part of the club grounds except
the roadways, and that until the road
ways are laid out no horses or vehicles
are allowed within the club enclosure,
and the gates will be kept closed.
No dogs will be permitted on the
grounds, as they would annoy a flock
of sheep which are kept on the ground
to keep down the grass.

THE GENEROUS ACT
To be Done by the College in Fixing up
Base Ball Diamond.

The College baseball team will play
the first game of the season at the Fair
Grounds on Saturday May 18th. The
College has agreed to pay for all the
charges incurred in putting the dia-
mond at the Fair Grounds in suitable
condition.
Manager Simpson has therefore en-
ployed man to do the work and by
next Saturday the grounds should be
in excellent shape. Inc the meantime
Marietta will indulge in some lively
practice and expect to give the con-
tlngent from Athens at least a run for
their money.
Two games have been signed with
Muskingum and return game with
Athens. An effort will be made to
play the other mines in the section.

Live and Learn.

From Stanleyville comes the news
the people of that section by smooth
sharper who is getting his work in in
the rural districts. He goes to house
and offers for sale a new kind of
cream separator. Considering the
high price usually asked for machines
of this kind and the apparent excel
lence of the device the fellow offered
at a low figure, if he could attract
the serious consideration of his pros.
pective buyers the slick tongue rascal
invariably promised to bring around
butter moulds and jars in which to
store the finished product. When it
was convenient for them to come to
the city he offered them ready mar
ket for butter in any quantity all the
year round at 27 cents per pound.
They all bit like frogs on a hook bait
ed with red flannel and having secured
the cream separator, set to work with
might and main to manufacture the
q cent butter. The first week did not
see the appearance of the plausible
agent as per agreement but people
thought that bad weather prevented
him and thought nothing of the mat
ter. The second week brought no re-
suits and as the butter began to ac-
cumulate the producers had to have a
market. Accordingly a lot of them
strung baskets loaded with the golden
product on their arms and hit only the
high places on the road on their way
to the city. They lined up on the cor
ner of Front and Ohio streets where
the sharper had told them he would be
found happy and eager to pay 81 cents
per pound, but it was all pipe dream,
and now the victims are anathemizing
both the sharper and themselves.
Butter in that neighborhood doesn't
come so high now and is also more
plentiful than it was two weeks ago.

Town LIBRARY.

The old Library Hail." as it was
called, was built during the last
months of 1881 and was still unfinished
at the time of the flood in April 1882
1t was owned by chartered company
(perpetuaD and consisted of five hun
dred shares at $500 each, the twenty
five hundred dollars being the amount
of capital invested. Books were
bought from time to time, three Direc-
tors elected and librarian.
The books at the time of purchase
were thought to be well selected and
were much used. The building was
owned by this chartered company-and
| wonder-has this company expired?
1t was Public Library, opened to the
public by paying one dollar year, and
as in the original charter, no provision
was made for its dissolution. Is it still
used as a library building. WHO
OWNS THE BUILDING? What shape
is it in? Is it true that the old Town
Library is no more?
The Rev. Luther G. Bingham in ear
ly times kept a school in the upper
room-also the Rev. DR.. Henry Smith
taught school there, and in later
days Mr.. Theodore Scott also.
When our city had but three wards,
the City Council held their meetings
in one of the rooms below Weekly
prayer meetings were heldin the upper
room by the Congregational church
from the time the building was COM
pleted in 1882 until their new building
in the rear of the church was ready for
use. How is it that the Ladies Cen
tennial Association have taken possess
sion of it and use it for Relic Room,
to the exclusion of all library pur-
poses?
viii some one please rise and ex-
plain? H.

A DAHGERous PRACTICE,

Editor Leader--I notice an article in
your paper of the Sd inst. giving an
account of the blasting of a rock in the
sewer trench at the northern limits of
the city just as a torpedo wagon was
passing near, loaded with nitroglycer-
inc and with the fortunate result of no
explosion. Is it not about time that
some action was taken by our City
Council to put a stop to wagons load
ed with dynamite or nitroglycerine
being driven through our streets, and
the stuff stored in our midst?
When an explosion takes place in
our city, with houses shattered and
our people MANNED and killed, we will
tLen awaken to the deadly peril we
have submitted to.
lot long since, just as wagon load
ed with the deadly scuff was passing
over a street car track in our city, the
car came fearfully close to striking
the rear eha or the wagon. Suppose
the car had struck the wagon. A city
square would have been ruined, not to
speak of the loss of life. A few years
ago a skiff load of the dangerous fluid
was being rowed into the mouth of the
Kanawha river, at our neighboring
city of Parkersburg, when by some
means unknown an explosion occurred
without leaving trace of man or skiff
and breaking windows all over the
city of Parkersburg, and in many in
stances knocking down people, but
fortunately without causing death.
Had this explosion taken place in the
city, and not out in the rTer, the re-
suit, without doubt, would have been
frightfully destructive.
Any morning if you will drive ovec
our city at an early hour you will
meet these torpedo wagons with their
deadly loads driving at brisk trot
over our paved streets, the wagons
jolting and bouncing, and liable at
any moment to explode. LET THIS
BE STOPPED. .,.
There are isolated localities outside
the city where the stuff can be stored
and handled, so far as our people are
concerned, with safety. Why not then
require it to be taken to such places?
This is a serious matter, one that
menaces the lives of our people and
the safety of our homes, and should
be met by our City Council without
delay. The history of nitroglycerine
and dynamite shows that explosions
are constantly occurring without any
known cause but usually by concus-
sion. Such explosions are likely to
occur in our midst at. any time, and
just now is the tine.to see that meas
ures are taken to prevent such ca
lamity, and to omit doing this is Grim
inal. w.

Delicate Operation.

A delicate surgical operation was
performed Friday upon Dwight Wag-
ner, the small son of MIR. and Mrs.
Wagner, who live at the corner of
Fifth and Putnam streets. A tumor
of unusual size was removed from the
abdominal cavity of the boy and the
operation, while rather precarious on
account of the location and size of the
growth Ids fair to be absolutely sue
cessful.

account of the latest prize fight, fresh
from the wire.

THE GREAT CORN STATES.
Enormous Crops Raixed In the mia
die West and the Prices
Realized.

The grent corn states, according to
the statistics of last year, writes John
Gilmcr Speed, in Aiuslec's, are in the
order named, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska;
Missouri, Kansas, lndiana, Texas and
Ohio. Zach of these states grew in ex
cess of l00, 100000 bushels, while the to-
tai of Iowa was 25i,e9o,S50 bushels,
This year we are promised from Kansas
alone in excess of a5o,C00,0oL bushels,
Montana, among the rcw states, grew
the smallest amount of corn last yc;ir,
and Rhode !slnnd among the old states.
In Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont.
Massachusetts, Connecticut, North Da-
kota. Montana, Wyoming and Washing
ton all of the corn grown was con-
summed at home, practically none Of II
being transported beyond the county
in which 1t was produced. The other
states, according to the amount grown,
shipped cora to other parts of The coun-
try and abroad. In price the corn on
the farms realized all the way FROM
CO cents nNbpshcl in Montana to % &C ts
in Iowa, the'gencral average through
out the country being rs ITO cents per
bushcl. In 1897 this General. average
was 90 3-l0 cents; In 1896 it was u $40
cents; in 1895 1t was 25 $40 &c nts. and in
1894 it was As 7-lO cents. In the latter
year uS9i) the production was short,
being somewhat more than 90 per cent.
less thdn last year.
