There have only been two shad
caught in Kennebec waters thus far
this season. said a local fish dealer,
yesterday. while we have had an
early spring here, the water in the river
has been cold and the fish won't come
up. Usually they begin to run about
the first of May. It needs a good deal
of sunshine to start them going. The
shad we have now comes from the Con-
necticut river. They weigh from Sla to
A pounds and we sell them for So to 40
cents each" There is lots of difference
of opinion as to whether shad are
migratory fish or not. Some fishermen
say that it must be true that they ara
migratory. because they appear away
down in Florida along in January, a
little later in South Carolina, then in
North Carolina. afterwards in New
York and Connecticut. and so on north
and east away to the Kennebec. The
others contend that the only migration
is out from the rivers to the sea and
back again. The shad that are Matched
in the fresh water at the head of tide
waters on the Kennebec go down this
river in the fail to reach the warm
water out to sea for the winter: but
they DO not go north or south and the
next spring they go up the river to
spawn. It's the same with all the rivers
frequented by shad.

AT THE CAR BARN.
Many improvements In and Around the
Building.

Through the kindness of Superin-
tcndcnt Taylor the Journal scribe was
permitted to see the many improve
nents the management Of the electric
read is causing to be made III the new
car barn. In the near future the
grounds around the front ana south
side Will be transformed into Il garden
ana blossom with roses. The landscape
gardener already has the work in hand
and has large mound raised for the
flower bed around which Il driveway
Will be laid out and graveled. When
this work is all completed the grounds
will be ornamented ana one Of the
beauty spots to be admired by the
patrons OF this trolley lire.
Inside the building the cosey office,
which is located in the tower on
the ground floor, was found to
be decidedly business like ana at
tractive in all its appointments,
while directly over the office is 4
good sized room for the convenience
Of The conductors and motOrmcn The
whole arrangement of this room is in
wiling, comfortable and practical. Each
man has his lattice closet made Of iron
III which he can lock his extra clothing
or other articles, so no tramp will be
tempted to visit the room on account of
the opportunity it might otherwise
provide Tor his pilfering propensities.
One of the most Interesting features
ID be noticed is the substantial and per-
manent character of everything to be
| seen, the new trucks and motors being
| stored here, for the new business give
| evidence Of the rapid and safe transit
| that may be expected when everything
is in readiness. Many important
| changes have been made in the open
cars and the old ones have been wholly
made over so ali cars this summer will
present a modern appearance and be
supplied with late conveniences. In
fact the most of the open trolleys arc
| bright and sidney, all ready for bust
ness when "Old Prob shall have be-
come tired of blowing cold. Several
| new fiat cars have been made in this
| barn and are about ready for service
in hauling gravel or freight. The new
snow pillow has been dssected and
shorn Of its formidable proportions and
is now ready to 90 duty as a power FL
hauling the feight cars which have not
the necessary attachments for pro-
pelling themselves, this gives them
much greater capacity as freight cars.
The public may safely anticipate
one of the most enjoyable seasons they
! have experienced since the electric cars
first made their appearance in this
vicinity.

FILTH AND DIRT.
Omaha, Neb., Hospital Foul and
Nauseating Place.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 29.-Neglect. filth
mess, incompetence, drunkenness and
confusion exist, it is charged, in the
mems sick ward at the Douglas Coun-
ty hospital and make life almost un-
bearable to the patients.
The Rev. Charles H. Young, pastor
Of st. Johns Episcopal church at 10Th
and Franklin streets, who has been
making an investigation, says he finds
there is no male nurse or other person
in direct authority, and almost entire
dependence is placed on other inmates
for every attention. The patients cam
not obtain water and are rarely bath
ed The bedding is foul and odOrs are
nauseating. Personal property is un-
safe. and if man dies other inmates
pounce uron it and steal it.
Continued and Incorporate use of in
toxicants by inmates who are supposed
to act as attendants is complained of.
There are about 40 men in the sick
ward. Perhaps half of the number are
bedridden and unable to help them
selves.
The Rev. Mr.. Young states that
Supt. Oest was asked why these things
were allowed to be, and he replied that
the men appointed to care for the sick
men Were drunk. although the rules
prohibit the use of intoxicants by in
mates.

FIVE CHILDREN DESERTED.
Father Leaves Them, Mother Con-
fined in Prison.

Boston, Dec. 29.--F'ive little children,
deserted by their father. and neglected
by their mother, were brought before
Judge Fallon in the South Boston
court, Saturday, at the instance Of
Agent NJ. ID. Mann of the Society for
Prevention Of Cruelty to Children.
They were the children Of John and
Mary Whittle Of 50 A street. and
ranged in ages from 1 to IA years. The
youngest child, boy. was placed in
charge of St. Mary's Home and the
other four. two boys and two girls,
were taken to the Home for Destitute
Catholic Children.
About six months ago Mr.. Whittle
deserted his family and, it Is claimed. is
now living in the South. The mother,
by the two frequent use of liquor. de-
scended lower each day. and gave but
little thought to her children. The
home was filthy; there was no food, nc
fire and the clothing supply was very
scant The climax was reached last
Monday when Mrs. Whittle was arrest
ed on the charge of drunkenness and
was sentenced to three months at Deer
Island.
Agent Mann was acquainted with the
case as he had placed the four oldest
children in the home two years ago.Af-
ter the mother was sentenced he went
to their home on A street and took
them away to the Catholic Home,
where they were dressed in clean cloth
ing ard enjoyed a happy Christmas.

Lots of Typhoid Fever.

Some people are getting alarmed at
the prevalence of typhoid fever in the
city. Some wild estimates are being
made as the number of cases at
present bun Mo one can tell accurately
One result of the condition Is that
about everyone who is sick at all is
reported to have typhoid fever by his
friends. About everything in the list
of bodily ills at present is this fever
Many of those reported as victims have
bad colds and some are not even sick
at all. But there really seems to be
an unusually large number of cases.
Various causes are given, ranging
from the city water to the weather.
There have been several deaths and
there are now several critical cases.
There is also an unusual amount of
sickness from other diseases, colds be-
ing the most common. One grocery
man on being asked to deliver an or
Ger. this morning, replied that he
would if his men were not all sick. He
has been having considerable trouble
in keeping his team going. The weather
with it's sudden changes seems to be
the cause of most of it.
