to two years old. The fish were in fine
condition and scarcely one was lost in
the transfer from the car to the waters
Of the lake. These fish will be given
every protection from seiners, who will
be vigorously prosecuted. Fishing in
Wall lake has long been great attrac-

believe that fishing in Wall lake will be

reluctant to leave. and loitered about a
few minutes. Finally 1t grasped
lluckless chicken in it's talons and dew

Creston.
| The beautifully carved and CORFU
gated stone columns for the front of
the government building were being
placed in position Friday, and the
front Of the structure is assuming pro-
portions which indicate what the COM
pleted building will look like. The
brick layers are keeping right along
with the laying of the stone. and the
structural iron workers are placing the
heavy iron beams which will furnish
the support for the second floor. The
brick vaults which will be in position
in the interior of the building are be-
ling built, and the building In its en-
tirety is making satisfactory progress.
and the chances for the structure being
enclosed before cold weather are very
good, providing the present nice spell!

Dubuque.
A strange case of poisoning occurred
in the upper part Of the city few eve
nings since. A young lady gave party
and invited number Of her young lady
and gentlemen friends. Everything
went along in happy way until after
the refreshments had been served. Ban
anas were first served to the guests.
and later large blue plums were served.
In few moments after they had par
taken Of the latter fruit, two Of the
young ladies became deathly sick, and
great alarm ensued on the part of all
present. They turned as blue as the
plums they had eaten, and, seeing that
they were evidently in dangerous
condition, physician was at once
summoned and arrived In short time.
In the meantime the young ladies had
been removed to beds, and. on his ar
rival, the doctor made an examina-
ton and said that their illness was the
result Of being poisoned. He worked
over them for several hours, until they
showed signs Of Improvement, when
they were removed to their respective
homes Each ranuired almost constant
attendance for two days; and, while
they are now out of danger. they have
not yet recovered. 1t will be several
days before they will have entirely re-
covered. The doctor said that the
poison which caused their illness was
on the skin Of the plums. He said
that similar cases have come under
the observation of the medical profess
sion in the past: and 1t Is very likely
that the young ladies would have died
had they not been attended to promptly
All fruit should be washed In clean
water before being used.

selection Of the present one it was
found that its supporters had but one
eighth of the necessary money. Rob
erts wrote to the department asking to
be released from the proposition and
the letter received in the city few
days ago was an answer to that letter.
An effort is being made to have the
supporters of the other sites aid in the
purchase of the present one and If
they do the proposition will be sue
cessful. If not, it is highly probable
that Atlantic's government building
will be knocked into Cooked hat"
