McClurc's for April.

McClure's for April is fairly stun
ming in it's effect. The first of a Sc
ries of articles on 1.-The Enemies of
the Republic" by Lincoln Steffens,
which will consider the misgovern-
ment of states, takes up Missouri and
gives the reader shock he will not
soon forget. 1t is almost paralyzing
in it's relentless array of fact and
logic concerning corruption as Gus
tom, a system, a revolution in gov
eminent. 1t is the bribe-giver, not
the bribe-taker, who is really respon-
sible for the bad government, Mr.
Steffens points out.

Here is a story from the veldt
When Joseph Chamberlain travelled to

the only hall available was very

offer of his parlor." When he
reached the ruins of De La Re s
house, however, he found a platform
built out on to the open veldt. But

ALLEGED SHORTAGE IS SECURED

There We're no special developments
in the Hauerbach case today. beyond
the fact that his friends had virtually
secured a sufficient amount of money
to cover the alleged shortage.
According to Expert Mills report the
alleged shortage is $1.126. This it is
said includes the amount of fees that
the officer had received during the
present month. Clerk Htuerbach
however. maintains that the statement
is erroneous He figures out that he
cannot be charged with shortage of

accounted for until the first Monday in
March. the time when all officers of

1t WAS rumored today that tomorrow
the shortage would be made good by

Wednesday he would tender his resig-
nation. When seen today M Hauer-
bach would not have anything to say

1t has been limited that in the event
of Hauerbach resigning the commits

VIII Ask for q Fish Hatchery.

~--~-- = -
A piece Of legislationwhich Hough-
ton county, or at least some OF the
people Of Houghton county, will ask
at the hands OF the legislature next
winter, says the Gazette, will be the
authorizing of the establishment Of
fish hatchery in Houghton county.
The matter is TO be taken up by the
Houghton County Gun and Rod club
with Senator Smith, and he will be
asked to present it to the legislature.
George Williams, president OF the
club, is the father OF the scheme.
Mr.. Williams says that the streams
around Houghton present excep-
tional facilities for such an estab-
lishment there, particularly forsport-
ing fish, that whitefish and lake
trout would not thrive so we'll in
these waters. Mr.. Williams says
also that there is to be a vacancy on
the Michigan fish commission next
year, and he is going to try for the
appointment.
Whether or not Mr.. Williams can
attain this ambition must remain to
be seen, but it is certain he is quail
fed for the place, as being one OF
the best practical fishermen in the
state and man thoroughly posted
on fish culture.
