A short time ago there appeared
in the WAsHBURN T INES and also the
News, an item stating that there
was considerable talk of labor trou-
bles On the coal dock, on account of
the company refusing to accede to
the demand of the Union, The
mem bers CT the Coal Heavears I'm
ion wish to inform the public that as
yet no demands have been made.
The facts are; the trouble was not
caused by the Union men but sim
ply by Flynn, the foreman, refusing
to recognize the Union. The dock
has been unIer Union labor for
many years and will continue so.

Republican voters should attend
their ward caucuSes next week and
see to it that delegates are elected
who are favorable to the re-nomina-
tion of Congressman Jenkins, Mr..
Jenkins has been q faithful repre-
sentative of the people at the nation
al capitol, and Bayfield, county
should enlist in his support. A
Congressman with Mr.. Jenkins
standing is able to do something for
his constituency when called upon,
and that is perhaps the reason that
there is practically feeling of unani-
nifty towards him in this Congress
sional district.
II the hopes that another deputy
game warden will be appointed for
Bayfield, county petitions have been
circulated and other Endorsements
secured for John Tolfand and Ben
Runkle OF this city. and forwarded
to the state game warden. It is un-
derstood that Mr.. III, J. Conlin, of
Bayfield,, is an applicant for the posi-
ition. Bayfield, county is one of the
finest game preserves in the n
tire state, and it would seem that
plenty of official protec ton to game
should be main tanned here if the laws
are to be enforced, While The
TIMES has always maintained that
the legislative branch of the state
government paid too much attention
and entalled too great an expense
over the game of the state, yet the
people up here feel that wheE dis
! tribution of patronage is being made
/ that Bayfield, county should have it's
share of the .'swag.' It is claimed
that Mr.. Lund, Of Iron River, has
made a good warden, out it is also
main tanned that the territory assign
ed to him is too large for him to
cover, and for that reason the move
ment for new warden has been in
stituted. Mr.. Tolland has the
principal endorsement from this
city, while Mr.. Conlin, if a candidate,
will likely have the support of Bay

Sent to Jail For Contempt.

Samuel M. Tudor, one of the prominent
attorneys at the Lexington bar, was sent
to Jail Friday by Judge Parker for con-
tempt of court. Mr.. Tudor, in response
to summons, appeared before the grand
jury that afternoon, and during his ex-
animation he was asked several questions
in regard to gambling houses in the city.
He refused to answer any questions on
this point. and the foreman of the grand
jury appealed to Judge Parker. The fore
man stated to the court that he had asked
Mr.. Tudor whether he had seen any crap
games in operation in that city, and that
the attorney had refused to answer the
question. Mr.. Tudor stated to the court
that he was the attorney for several of the
alleged gambling offenders, and that what
ever knowledge he might have as to the
Of gambling was gained by him
in professional way, and he did not be-
lieve that he should be required to answer
the question asked by the foreman of the
grand jury. Judge Parker said that
he did not believe being an attor-
ney would excuse the witness from
questions, and he would there
fore commit him to Jail unless the question
was answered. Attorney Tudor held out
for his rights, and he was therefore taken
TO jail by Deputy Jailer Ahearn.

ILLINOIS RIVER "PLANKTON.'
An Indispensable Element i'm the
Food of Fishes i'm Large
Quantities.

A recent publication of the Illinois
State Laboratory Of Natural History
marks a new departure in the litera-
ture Of scientific investigation in Amer
ica This is a report OF the results OF
An approximately continuous study of
the minute plant and animal life
(called the "plankton'D of the Illinois
river and its tributary waters, carried
on for five successive years by the
staff of the Illinois Biological station.
1t appears from these studies. says
the New York Post, that the ratio of
the "Dlankton" of the river, year in
and year out. was 81 parts per million
of the water in the stream, and it's total
average amount moving down stream
past a given point reaches the astOund
ing aggregate of $4,000 tons per annum
or two and one-half tons an hour This
annual aggregate is about Is times the
total weight of the fish taken from the
river in year.
The conditions which favor large
annual production of this minute aquatic
life also seem to favor large catch of
fish but no direct connection of cause
and effect is here made out. "Plankton"
is, however. as indispensable element in
the food of fishes. the young of nearly
every species in our waters being abso-
lutely dependent upon it at some period
of their lives, and adult fishes of several
species making large use of it during the
season of its greatest abundance.

CATERPILLARS CAME HIGH.
Escape from Bottle and stock Mas
sachusetts with Gypsy Moths
Latest Plan to Fight Them.

A few years ago a scientific person in
Massachusetts, imported some caterpil-
lars that interested him, and kept them
in bottle. But one day the bottle tipped
over and some of the caterpillars escaped
into the scientists garden, and pres
emily stocked it with gypsy moths. To
catch them and their descendants the
Bay state has since spent about 81 ,OO0,-
900 of public money. They have cost It
many millions dollars besides in dam
ages The old method OF fighting them
was to find and destroy the cocoons. The
state finally gave that up, much to the
regret of many of it's citizens. The bugs
have since increased very much, and
carried destruction into the woods. 1t
is. now proposed to fight these pests in
the latest fashion, by breeding parasites
which will attack them. That method
is recommended by Mr.. Koebele, of Ala
that state for white scale. The Massa-
chusettS Forestry association favOrs the
experiment, which will not cost much,
and Mr. Koebele will doubtless be in
vited to bring his parasites to Massa-
chusetts and sick them on. The whole
country is concerned in this experiment,
because a Massachusetts, congressman
has invited congress to declare the gypsy
moth a national enemy and to ap2ro-
pirate $25O,O00 to fight him. The parasite
cure is a modern wonder and has been
effective in cases of great moment. Mr..
Koebele says it will not wipe out the
gypsy moths, but will keep them down.
The boil weevil may presently be re-
strained by the same methods.

confidential talk before his voyage TO
New Zealand. Sir Hervey's step
seemed to have lost it's lightness, or so
it seemed to Hugh, as he listened to
its drawing near. He was later, too,
in joining him than was his wont.
Had any suspicion crossed his mind?
Were his thoughts of next weeks hap
piness unalloyed, or were they shad-
owed by asvague yet t"unmistakable
cloud?
Hugh Ralston wondered, but said
nothing as his uncle entered the room.
The latter, with his usual precision
and neatness, lit a cigar, seated him.

pages of the evening paper.
Thankful to escape the customary
evening chat, Hugh paced monotonous-
ly up and down the room, with tenn
pies throbbing and the blood surging
through his veins. How could he
broach the subject that tonight must
be faced once and for all?
MY dear boy" said Sir Hervey at
length, glancing over the top Of his pa
per, could you not sit down? You
seem restless tonight"
Hugh dropped into the nearest chair.
Silence reigned for full five minutes.
a silence that Ralston broke by saying,
with the compoSure born OF despair:

adjusted his glasses before looking in
his nephewS direction. do | under
stand you Alright? You prefer not to
be with me on the day OF my mar
riage?"
Hugh Ralston bowed his head.
Sir Hervey rose from his chair and
instinctively the younger man did the
same, a movement that brought them
face to face as the words: "YOu dare
not be with me-" broke from the bar
onet's lips.
The eyes of the two men met, and the
soul of each was read. Then as Hugh
leaned on the mantelpiece, burying his
face on his arms, with q groar, it was
the elder man who proved the strong
er, who first brought light into the
darkness that had descended.
Hugh was conscious at last Of the
pressure of hand upon his shoulder,
and as through a vast space and time
he heard the voice of Sir Hervey say
ing: 1T is well, my boy. | am not

You must not blame yourself; far
from it. l am going now to Lady
Wolvertons and-will-release her"
The last words were wrung from lips
that were growing pale. Sir Hervey
walked slowly to the door Hugh had
never moved.
Turning round as his fingers closed
over the handle, the uncle said. i'm
ploringly: Don't, my lad. Don't
take it so to heart. l shall get over

who met the shy, sweet glance with
one of gratitude That these two,
whom he loved better than all the
world besides. should be friends, was
his one desire-a desire that seemed
likely to be fulfilled as the evening
wore away.

some two hours later, that you do

Ralston laughed. "And what did
you fear in me?" he asked.

prompt reply. ''for l knew how much

"Ah, the conditional mood. That is

Ralston looked at the upturned face
and rejoined: iii will? How could

verse;" With grandiloquence he tried
to cover his. embarrassment, but Ade-
laide Wolverton was not deceived.
She knew, and knew also that Ralston
was aware of her knowledge, that
their meeting had proved no ordinary
one. For love had awakened, love
that would never sleep again.
Il see," she said, slowly unfurllng
her fan. your emotion is due merely
to gratitude Mr. Ralston, how long
have you been away from England!
The change Of tone and subject was
not lost upon Ralston. They had been
treading on delicate ground, anu,
thankful for the deviation, he replied:
1.-TWO years this month, but it seems
like four-I have seen and done so
much in the time"
Turning to the girl beside him he
noted the shade of bitterness that had
crept over her face. and somehow as
he looked he knew that she was not
happy in her engagement. A wave Oh
pity for Sir Hervey welled up in his
heart, for the baronet idoliZed his
young betrOthed
Sir Hervey Ralston, honorable and

And if during the weeks that followed
it seemed to him that Adelaide grew
more and more impassive, while
spirit of unrest had seized upon his
nephew, he strove to see no manner
Of connection.
And what about Hugh?
At one and the same time had the
gates of heaven and hell been opened
to him, and he reveled in his bliss,
only to writhe in the agony involved.
No words on the subject had he and
Adelaide exchanged, thus far they, had
been loyal to Sir Hervey. But Hugh
smiled bitterly as he acknowledged 10
himself the limitations of that loyalty
None knew better than he the sub
