The dispatch announcing the death of
Alexander R. Shepherd says that to him
belonged the credit for nipping in the bud
a project for removing the national capital
to some Western city. The Western city
referred to was st. Louis. The movement
was one of the most absurd ever started,
and yet through the energy and persistence
of one man it acquired considerable promi.
nence and support. In 1856 one l.. U. Rea-
Wis, who had been an obscure editor in Illi-
nois and Nebraska, went to ST. Louis and
began to advocate the removal of the ma
tional capital to that city. Reavis was
man of moderate attachments but of in
tense earnestness and untiring industry.
, OF course, his suggestion fiattered the pride
of St. Louisans and tickled the fancy of
many Western people In 1867 he published
and gave wide circulation to a pamphlet
entitled. 1.-The New Republic, or the Tran
sition Complete, with an Approaching
Change Of National Empire, Based Upon
the Commercial and Industrial Expansion
of the Great West" Two years later he
published I" A Change of National Empire,
or Arguments for the Removal of the Ma
tional Capital from Washington to the
Mississippi Valley" During this period
Reavis lectured extensively throughout the
country on the same subject. AS it was a
good advertisement for st. Louis he had
plenty of financial backing from that city,
and by noisy persistence he succeeded in
working up quite feeling on the subject
and enlisting the support of number of
Western congressman. OF course, the
scheme never could have succeeded, but
the success of Shepherds plan for beauti-
flying Washington put a quietus on it.

Tomorrow trouble begins" that is, the
public schools will begin. 1t is tradition
that children. particularly boys. never did
like to attend school. Doubtless, the same
reluctance continues. for the qualities maxi
ing up the human being do not change
much from generation to generation. 1t
may be said, however, that the pupil of to-
day has less cause to object to attending
school than those OF a generation or two
ago had At that time but few things were
taught in the schools. and the teaching did
not make learning either easy or interest
ing. Now teaching is profession, and the
dreary and rough road to learning Is made
a royal highway with many attractive fea-
lures along IT. The pupils of to-day should
know a great deal more than did those
generation ago. They probably do. despite
the oft-repeated opinions of the elders
that they cannot spell and figure as well as
could their fathers and mothers. The schools

There is a popular impression that oysters

the names of which contain the letter r.
This, like many other notions has very
little foundation in fact, for there are

is at hand when there is no question
OF their edible qualities. Indications point
to a large supply the 1st of September
OF oysters In unusually fine condition. Pre-
liminary dredgings show that the beds are
in fine shape, and that little injury was
done them by the large schools OF drum
fish that visited the coast last July. The
growth OF the oyster industry during the
last twenty-five years has been phenome-
nal. and the States fortunate enough TO
possess beds are awakening 10 the neces-
sity OF protecting them more effectually
and OF cultivating oysters by artificial
means Indeed. IL is believed that unless

ticed systematically the Matching OF

will be far less than the demand.

AS the fishing season draws to a close
reports are beginning to come in regarding
catches. AS far as heard from the largest
bass caught in Indiana during the season
was one of six pounds and two ounces, in
Lake Maxinkuckee. The catch was made
by an Indianapolis man who fished a week
without getting strike and finally landed
the big one. He was told at Maxinkuckee
that he would probably win the prize which
the government has offered for the largest
bass taken during the season, and he was
disappointed on being informed that no
such prize had been offered. A six-pound
bass is very unusual catch. Larger ones
may have been taken in some of the In
diana lakes, but probably not in recent
years. There are well authenticated re-
ports of good many bass taken this year
that weighed from three to FIVE pounds,
but six pounds and two ounces heads the
