CARP OUSTIEG WILD DUCK.
Useless Themselves, They Hava Ne.
stroyed the Wild Rice Fields
in Ontario, Canada.

The singular complaint comes from
various parts of northern Ontario that
fish are responsible for the disappear
ance of certain kinds of game. In To-
calities which were formerly noted for
the excellent duck shooting which thew
offered the birds are now not to be had
at all.
The ducks, geese and other aquatic
birds were formerly in the habit of
frequenting the large fields of wild rice
in the lakes and streams of parts of
Ontario, but now these fields have been.
in many instances, destroyed by the
German carp, which has found it's way
into these waters. The vegetarian diet
OF this detestable fish not, only ruins
the flavor of its own flesh, but exhausts
the food supply of some of the most
desirable forms of feathered game,
says the New York Sun. :,
The Ontario Inspector of fish.
cries, who has been in north
ern Ontario for the last few
weeks. reports that the German
carp has not only become danger
GUS to other fish. as has been frequent
ly claimed. but that in Cooks bay, Lake
Simcoe, where there were formerly
hundreds of acres of wild rice, not a
spear of that plant is to be seen to-day
The same is true of the Holland river.
where there were at one time / 500
acres of rice. The carp have eatenit

that the fish have entirely DESTROYED
the fields in one year. The AQUATIC

that all their usual feeding grounds
have disappeared, cut short their visit
and move away in search of Others.

that. the carp have attacked the beds,

UNCLE SAM THEIR BANKER.
Soldiers Have ON Deposit with the
Government 100000 of
Their SavdnHs.

The American soldier is coming tc
be thrifty person, who saves his
money and uses the government of
the United States as depository.
A long time ago, when rates for
money ranged from five to six per
cent, law was passed by congress
authorizing the war department to
take deposits from soldiers and pay
interest on them at the rate of four
per cent
OF course, at the time that was a
low rate of interest, but in these
days of two and three per cent. from
the savings banks it is a very high
rate. For few years after the law
was passed the savings fund amount
ed to almost nothing Then the SOL
diers realized that this was an excep-
tionally good way of saving, and
many of them started accounts with
the government, says a Washington
report.
A few years ago soldier received
an honorable discharge and drew $1o,-
600 from his savings and interest,
and another soldier, who had re-
ceived and deposited cash inheri-
lance during his term of enlistment,
drew 100000. But these were excep-
tiona1 cases. However, during the
last fiscal year the soldiers Of the
government deposited with the wal,
department upward of $4,000, 600, and
that money is now drawing four per
cent. interest. ~ = :s5tk : . n
At the time that this. law was
passed there were many assertions
from the army, and it was provided
that if a soldier deserted he should
lose all the savings he had on ac-
count. Hence when an enlisted man
gets an amount of money on de-
post with the government he be-
comes 9 better soldier and never de-
serts. i.s>s..s SssSSAz
His independence and interest D ii
his work increase in propo ton with
his savings account, and the govern -
1ment is thus well repaid for q
rather high rate Of interest that IT
SLOWS upon soldier deposits.

Advent of Automa niac.

There seems to be need of a term
to designate the new terrors of our
streets, those speed-crazed parano-
iacs. who are now doing so much to
bring the automobile into disrepute,
says the Horseless Age. Various
terms are loosely applied, but new
compound would be. desirable. We
suggest the word ''automaniac,"
which is in harmony with several
well-known words of Greek deriva-
ton already rooted in the language
as descriptive of victims of diseased
and abnormal appetite (dipsomaniac,
kleptomaniac), and conveys strong
and true picture of the mental state
of the worst of these offenders
against law and decency.

DECISION THIS MORNING
Parker Examined Yesterday for As
 sauItinc Scott

After examining several witnesses yesterday who told what they knew about the cutting and shooting affray in which Richard Parker and E. B. Scott were the principal actors, Jus tice Mcdonald took the case of Park CT under consideration until today.
 Parker was on trial for assaulting Scot with a revolver with intent to kill. The same witnesses were exam ined as testified in the case last Sat urday against Scott, who was tried for assault with intent to kill. The testi- mony did not vary frcm that in the former case.
 Parker stated that he was assaulted by Scott before he began shooting. He gave the court to understand that he was acting entirely in self-defense. Scott's testimony was directly oppo- site. He said that he spoke to Parker and the latter began shooting at him.
 Scott still claims that the only weap- on he had when he fought with Park CT was small whiskey flask In cliaching to protect himself from the revolver, he hit Parker behind the ear. The cut on Parker's neck could not have been made with the bottle, had it not been broken.
 The evidence yesterday was not sui fcint to prove that Parker had com mitted any more of an assault than Scott. No one could be found who would testify to having seen the fight between the two men. It was not de nied by Parker that he fired the shots. but he did maintain that he was not | fbo first n start auTfhiOO
 1 During the afternoon Scott appeared ' in court to answer to the charge of assault and battery on Parker He plead guilty and will be sentenced this morning at 10 o'clock
