FAILS IN FISH CASE
State Unable to Prove That Chan
mel Cat and Bull Heads are
Same Species.

The state failed to prove its case
last evening in the case of William
Hess and George Hess, charged with
selling fish not of the size prescribed
by law. The defense was made on
the grounds that the channel cat, men
toned specifically in the statutes. is
not the same species of fish as the
bull head cat. such as were sold by
Hess Bros, and were the grounds for
the case brought by Deputy Warden
Jesse Eastman, of Moline.
The case was tried before Justice
Schroeder. a change of venue being
taken from Justice Schriver. Attor-
ney H c. Haverfield represented the
state. while the defendants were rep
resented by Attorney G. W. McCas
krin The case Of the state failed be-
cause it was unable 10 prove that the
two species of fish are the same.
The law states that no channel cat
can be sold unless Il inches in
length. Deputy Eastman noticed the
bull heads, which were not of this
size, he had the warrants sworn out
before Justice NcFarlane. Two
changes of venue were taken before
the case was finally heard last evening
before Justice Schroeder.

dispatch from Lincoln. The object OF
the club is the Improvement of street

the street ear company is not opcrat-

compel an improvement In the service
by declining To surrender their seats
TO women when the cars are crowded.
They maintain that the company viii
never improve the service until women

women will take vigorous action when
they find that men will not surrender

EVILS OF "GET THERE"
The Dangers That Lurk in Our Modern
Hustlinq Methods.

If we may judge 10y its effects on
those who obey its command, our slang
motto, Get there" is not an elevating
or ennobling one. On the contrary, it is
brutaliZing. 1t appeals to the lower
anG. not the higher instincts in man.
Yet this motto is quoted all over our
land. 1t is demoralizing the law, it is
creeping into the pulpit, it speaks from
our schools, it looks out of the eyes of
the ambitious, it undermines health,
and it frequently destroys all nobility
of character.
The old fashioned slow and sure
methods of attaining a competency are
tabooed The man who spends half a
lifetime in making Il fortune is regard
ed as SLOW" Short cut processes, at
any cost, are the demand of the hour.
From the time Il boy enters school he
is goaded on by unnatural ambitions.
He is not satisfied with steady, perma-
nent growth. He must progress by
leaps and bounds. Boys and girls are
ahead in their classes, even if they
must burn midnight oil and risk their
health in order to do so.
1t is pitiable to watch typical Amer
lean going to business in the morning.
He is not content TO sit quietly and re
lax until the train carries him to his
destination in the city. Long before
that he leans forward in his seat and
makes ready to leap off while the train
is moving. With every muscle tense,
an anxious, worried expression in his
face and a nervous twitching of the
hands, clutching his cane. umbrella,
parcel or the back of the seat in front
of him. he wastes enough energy and
strength before he reaches his office to
execute the labor of half the day.
The life OF the average American is
feverish. unhealthy and unnatural. We
are in too great haste with everything
and consequently lack poise. In the
perpetual rush to get there" we are in
very great danger of losing our e4uilib'
