LIVE WIRE FISHING.
Every Fish That Gets Within Ten
Feet of the Wire is Caught.

Feet of the Wire is Caught.
minneapolis JournaL)
1t is positively shocking the way
they are catching fish at the plant Of
the St. Anthony Falls Water Power
company This, too, in face OF large
sign on which is Inscribed IN PLAIN let
tiers: No Fishing Allowed; Keep on
But, then, only the immediate aLtaches
Of the power house are privileged.
The electricians have become so used
TO working wonders by electricity
such Q miracle, for instance, as run
ming the street railways Of two cities
without scarcely having to turn a hand
thernselves-tha they are IN the hapiC
of calling the mysterious fluid 70 their
assistance whenever it is convenient to
do SO.
They started out early in the sea-
son, which did not open until Wednes-
day. to fish in the legitimate way, but
failing to get any fsh to speak OF ny
hook, they determined to catch them,
if possible, by crook-to eleetrocute
them.
Since then fish have responded with
such wonderful alacrity to the novel
bait that a few minutes sport viii give
the new fisherman "a nice mess" The
sight would bring tears to the eyes CT
Ike Walton, who believed in art for
arts sake" who accounted it more
creditable performance to catch one
fish an hour by patient, painstaking,
philosophic endeavor than to slaughter
the fnny tribe on the wholesale plan
in short order.
At the power house they take a good
live wire, properly insulated, where the
angler holds it. and stick the same into
the water. Water is q good conductor,
as everybody knows, and every time
fish comes within ten or twelve feet of
I the center of disturbance he is conduct
ed to the surface.
He is not dead-he is simply shocked
/ into fnsensibiIity by the sensational re-
ception. and if let to his own resources
would soon be himself again. But the
cruel man on the ledge OF masonry
which puts out into the river around
1 the power house through which the tail
race comes pouring, reaches deity into
I the water and scoops up the unIortu-
nate fish with a net.
Perch. sinners bullheads, crappies
/ and an occasional sturgeon are caught
l in this way. One Of the electricians
who was directing the mighty machin-
/ cry which generates 10000 horse power
| said that he had caught a sturgeon
| early in the spring which weighed
| twenty pounds. He said that an ofdl-
nary current of electricity was strong
/ enough to bring the most oDstreperous
/ fish to the surface in most cases. he
had TO hand the sturgeon considerably
more than the average before ne could
make him lie still and be quiet

4 REMEpY ZOE RIGAMY.

There is an old-fashioned crime known
on the books as the compromising of a.
felony. This crime was generally preva-
lent among those who, while not them
selves possessing the courage or abandon
ment involved in the commission of
outward crime, were ever ready to Sane
ton such a course of action when crime
was committed as made amends for the
wrong done and helped to cheat aveng-
ing justice out of a victim
The compromising of felony has never
been resorted to by any person at all
careful Of either their moral or business
reputation. The courts in the olden times
used to look upon it with great disap-
prevail, and. the theory is, still so regards
such action But we are advancing by
metes and bounds beyond the foolish
conceptions of the past; and the COM
pounding of felony is regarded as little
more than the adjustment of a business
difficulty by quite a large class of repu-
table persons and corporations.
Indeed with corporations, innocent
as they are of course of all spiritual re-
sponsibility, the compromising of felon-
les when the occasion has warranted
has always been looked on with a great
deal of favor. Often they have been able
through their alert agents and servants
to bring reputable persons over to their
| rInd 90
| their pecuniary interests But the first
case on record where the courts them
selves ever cast aside all their moral re-
spensibilities and engaged themselves in
the compounding of a felony has just
occurred at Chicago.
Morally, Chicago is great town. as
everybody knows who know anything
at all. Hence it is that Judge Holden.
one of the superior court judges, has
within day or two effected an adjust
ment of a charge of bigamy brought
against prisoner arragned in his court
The judge is not partial to bigamy; but
he evidently is to divorce He recalls
in his methods former great jurtst,

the local population. and no provision
had been made to save the community
against the charge of the maintenance
OF such addition. used, when called on
to mete out punishment to the offender
in the case. draw upon his faculties
as a justice of the peace and inf1ict

band. solved his difficulty how? By i'm

never intended in the concessions made
to the st. Paul City railway, to the in
terurban corporation or to the existing
line between here and Saltwater. On
what theory such a service as that be-
tween Minneapolis and Saltwater is es-
tablished on the part of the street car
officials is not apparent save that of
owning and controlling official authority
in this city-a theory which has success
fully prevailed for some years past, so
far as may be judged by the conduct
of the street car people.
When it was found necessary for the
uses of the street car corporations to lay
the existing loop tracks at Eighth and Ce-
dar streets they were laid without any
regard to the rights Of the people in
their own streets; and no public official
has ever dared to remove those tracks,
which had no warrant whatever for be-
ing laid when they were laid and for
which no warrant has since been sought
so far as the G o b knows.
In the conduct of Mr.. Lowry's interests
it has been made plain too often to ad-
NIT of the slightest doubt tt at st. Paul

portance save as a means of revenue We
have here no shops. no offices. nothing

which they are operated has it's location
in Mime apolis. ~ a
The latest movement of the street car
interests affecting the rela i've interests
of ST Paul and Minneapolis ON it's face
seems simply to he of the same nature as
all that have preceded it in that direc-
tion. An advantage is. sought to be CIV
en- to Minneapolis over St. Paul. There
may or may not be a franchise granted
by Minneapolis and Saltwater for the cp-
Grafton The tracks at least are there; ara
it would comport much more closely with
the policy of the street car corporations if
it should prove to be the fact that they
have simply decided, the tracks being
there, to conduct their through Mime
apolis- Saltwater service, without thought
of let or hindrance on the part Of the
people or the authorities of any of the
communities involved
The Glob is interested in hearing
what the Lowry street car interests
have to say about their attitude and
action in this particular case.

A CORNER IN CORN.

Me an Jim started in fur to corner

read it TO Jim. Jim was the allfredest
excited man you ever see and calculated
that there wasn't nothin anybody els3
could do that me an him couldn't do.
So we slips round an bought In all the
