A Fish Story.

The following incident sounds de-
cidedly "tishy'', yet it is vouched for
as fact by eye-witnesses of unim-
peachable veracity:
Last Monday Mr. Sam Strong,
who assists in supplying the local
market with the toothsome denizens
of Black river, came to town with
several strings of fish, among which
was one string of catfish. Just at
the entrance of the court house a
gentleman purchased four strings of
fat fish and gave Mr. Strong four
quarter in silver. In effecting the
exchange some of the coins dropped
from Mr. Strong's hand and it was
thought that they had fallen to the
ground. Diligent search failed to
discover two of the coins and after
looking every where else Mr. Strong
decided that they must have been
swallowed by one of the catfish on
on the string in his hand. He ac-
cordingly proceeded to perform an
operation for appendicitis on one
of the largest of the cats and in its
NAV, closely wedged together, he
found the two missing coins as
sound as dollar and still worth
their face value.

CROSSED OVER THE RIVER.
Death Of Valued Citizen Near
Lake City.

LAKE CITY, May s. Special:
Mr. Levi G Mckenzie departed
this life last Sunday morning in the
ifty-second year of his age, at his
home about three miles from this
town, after an illness of about a
week. Mr. Mckenzie had been twice
married, his first wife being Miss
Linsey Matthews and his second
Miss Viola McCutchen, who, to-
gether with six children, survives
him. His second wife is daughter
of the late J Cooper McCutchen.
The oldest child is boy of some
fifteen years. In all, he was the
father of eight children, two having
gone ahead of him into the mystic
beyond. He was a brother of Mrs
P E Severance of our town.
On Monday what was mortal of
him was laid in its narrow bed in
the Martha Casselman cemetery in
the presence of a large concourse of
relatives and friends who had gath
cred to pay this last tribute of love
and respect to one whose going is
sadly regretted.
Mr. Mckenzie will be missed, not
only by his devoted family, but by
the entire community. He was
good husband, d good father, a
good neighbor and a good citizen
Straightforward, industrious, ge-
nial, honest and trustworthy, he
was the stamp of man one could
safely trust and lean on, the kind
that makes sound home and
strong State. He went away in the
strong hope of another and better
life in the "Palace of the King.

The supply of undigested securities, which has long been menace to the market, says Banker Clews. has, of course, not been eliminated, but it must be remembered that many of these are now selling nearer their in- trinsic value than at any time since their creation, and the borrowings against them having been largely di- unfinished by liquidation they are much less of a danger than formerly
 Industry is feeling the effect of high priced materials and the advances in wages granted during the last two years. A good many enterprises in- volving fixed outlays of capital are consequently postponed and railroads are already delaying improvements wherever possible until costs can be reduced. It is significant that during the last fiscal year 159 railroads, with a mileage of 145,o0o miles, showed an increase of S90,00O,0oO in gross earn ings during the year, or 14 per cent. while net earnings in the same period gained only $19,OoO,0OO. or about 10 per cent this change being almost en- tirely attributed to the increased cost of labor and its effect upon materials.

Speaking of the difference in bufio- ing the cup yachts writer in a New York paper says that the American clipper ship was not only designed on the lines which made the greatest speed possible, but with an economy of material in both hull and rigging which the English were unable even to copy. It could be sailed with a smaller crew, in proportion to its ton- mage, and it could outsaM everything that carried canvas. It was only the supersession of sailing craft by steam ships, where the problems of construc- ton were less delicate and where his command of unlimited iron and steel gave him immediate advantages, that saved John Bull his position on the sea. So we'll aware was he of this that he ignored our challenge of 1928 to open all the ports of the world to all the ships of the world, and kept his ports closed except to ships bring ing Ehe product of their own country. Not until 1851, six years after he pro fessed to have adopted free trade as his national policy and began to urge it upon us, did he think it safe to abol ish such restrictions.

FRIDAY, sBPrEMBER II, 1903.

Congressman Littauer's punishment for breaking the law which says a member of congress must not be inter ested in government contracts is to be a fine of $3,0O0, so it is said. This he will, no doubt, cheerfully pay for relief from further espionage and investiga- ton. The war departments inquiry into the glove business has just been finished and nothing of importance has recently been elicited. MT Littauer has surprised the politicians by mani festing a determination to seek "a re election to congress this fall, and his followers are engaged in the usual lively contest with the Plattites, who thought they had got him down and out.-Hartford Times.
 Littauer must have taken courage from the small punishment inflicted for his wrong doing. A S3,000 fine doesn't worry him a bit. He probably made more than that on one contract. NO doubt by standing for a reelection ne wants to be vindicated.
