CORRUPTION AT ST. LOUIS.
More Corruption Discovered by the
Grand Jury and Indictments
Are Returned

St. Louis, April Most sensational
charges are made by the February
grand jury. which has been investi-
eating bribery and official corruption
in the municipal assembly, in it's
final report to Judge O'Neill Ryan, in
the criminal court Saturday. The re-
port declares that the people of ST..
Louis have but vague conception of
the extent to which corruption and
venality have for the past ten years
existed among the sworn officers and
public servants. It finds the true
condition of affairs almost too appall-
ing for belief. A tribute is paid to
Joseph w. Folk, the circuit attorney,
under whose leadership the investiga-
ton is being made.
These indictments, already made
public, were returned by the grand
jury Saturday:
Bribery, Robert N.Snyder; attempt
ed bribery, Edward Butler, John H.
Becker; perjury, George J. Kobuch.

If GEN. MILES thinks he can stop

light tarpon line.
The tarpon tackle has undergone
some changes in recent years, one of
the most important being the discovery
that a cotton line is better than linen
one for this kind of fishing Mr.. Ma
son is credited with this discovery. He
had lost many a good fish by the
breaking OF his strong linen lines and
he finally came 10 the conclusion that
linen was too stiff. The tarpon, leap
ing high in the air, would contrive to
fan athwart the line, swapping it like
thread. A cotton line was substituted,
and it was found that the natural
stretch or give" would balk the tar
pom at his favorite game. Consequent
~ the cotton line is now being general

probably become standard Another
innovation which was introduced by
Mr.. Mason and which will doubtless
prove a great benefit to the sport in
general is the custom of not killing the
fish. Most tarpon fishermen seek only
the sport, and consequently il is a
cruel and unnecessary thing to kill SC
noble fish for no purpose. Mr.. Mason
counted it IA kilP' when he had landed
his fish. Then the tarpon was unlocked
and thrown back into the breakers
somewhat tired, but capable of quick
recovery. This example has been gen
orally followed, and IN consequence
