THE TROUT SEASON.
The Lake and the Law Favors Early
and Anxious Anglers.

There were some seemingly we'll
founded reports in circulation on the
street, Saturday, that Lake Cobbossee-
contee was free from ice; the fact was,
the ice broke up during the day in
many places and was driven on the is
lands by the strong northwest wind
which prevailed.
There were those who were eager to
take advantage of the first opportunity
and the trip to the lake was made in
the pouring rain during the afternoon.
On Sunday the wind blew a gale and
the whitecaps tossed about in mad de-
fiance of any ambitious angler who
would have dared risk his life and rod
to wet his line.
Today, if the weather is fair or even
if it isn't and the fury of wind abates,
the trout will be tempted CO with ev-
erything the bait box affords. Live
bait. the standard Sinners" will be
popular; ''phantoms" are always handy
and the new "mummied minnows" may
prove to possess the new and fetching
qualities long desired and anxiously
awaited. From day to day the sports
men will try their luck and all look
forward to an eventful season.

ADDICKS MEN STILL WAGE WAR.
Their Efforts to Save Pet Political
Measure Renews Old Delaware Fight.

Dover, Del, April 5-The frantic efforts
of the Addicks Republicans to save the
voters assistants and thereby us
money to the best advantage in carrying
this state for Addicks next year have pre-
cipitated one of the biggest political bat
ties in the history of Delaware, to be
fought here within the coming two weeks
after which all bills passed by the recent
General Assembly will either become laws
or become dead ones by virtue of thu
pocket veto. Both sides now are makins
efforts to pack the State House at thu
hearings to be accorded by the Governor
upon this vital legislation
The Addicks Republicans are planning 3
big demonstration and campaign in oppo-
sition to the Voters Assistant law
They will have their public hearing in thu
same chamber on Tuesday, April IA, the
Tuesday following the Thursday of thu
anita ssstant meeting. Union Republican
leaders and workers and members of theil
rank and file will gather at Dover on thai
day and their leaders will contend that
although they are dominant party of Ken
and Sussex counties, they will be deprived
of authority inside the election rooms |
the Voters Assistant law is abolished
The voters assistants however, ap
pointed by Union Republican Governor
will be equally divided between the Dem
ocrats and Union Republicans where tn,
lattr party is the dominant party, an6
they then will have a voice in the booth.
