Too Cold for Fishing.

Tt is altogether too cold yet for fish ing said an experienced angler yester- day. This has been an unusually cold spring and the waters of the various still too chilly for much sport. With about two weeks of real warm weather the waters will be sufficiently tempered for some good sport and anglers will cer- tainly take advantage of the first op- portunity
 Trout are the first fish that begin biting" continued the fisherman, 'sas they can stand more cold than any other variety of fish. l have caught trout. in February and could see them jumping out of the water at many places. Of course you know the speekled trout like very cold water but the others can also stand some chill. The next fish to come out are Dream and perch The water must be much warmer for them, how ever, but when they do come they come in swarms. l have caught as many as fifty in less than an hour. Succors re- quire warmer water than any other kind of fish. We rarely ever have any sport out of suecors until late in the sum- mer.
 By the way, while walking along the banks of Five Mile creek the other day I noticed that some one had been dyna- hitting for fish. There were scores o1 dead trout floating along the edge of the water and hundreds of small minnows. This is violation of the law in Alabama and is one of the meanest, lowest of of- lenses. The law should be rigidly en- forced on this point. It is not So bad to kill enough fish to eat in this manner but the trouble is that hundreds of smaller fish are sacrificed for the sake of land ing one or two large ones."

with the question Of the validity of
service still open. This apparently
represents the present correct position
Of the states case.
The circuit court of appeals, in it's
recent decision in the Peter Power
case, held that the Northern Securities
company was a necessary party, and
that unless the court had jurisdiction
or the Securities company it could not
proceed to determine the merits of the
validity of the merger. If this ruling
is sustained by the state courts, the
states merger case hangs only upon
the sufficiency of the service upon Mr.
Hill to give the state courts juriSdic-
ton of the Securities company. The
federal ruling that the Northern Sc
curities company is a necessary party
is not understood to be binding on the
state courts, and if they should hold
that the company was not a necessary
party, the validity of the merger as
conflicting with the local statute,
would be passed upon on its merits.
Counsel for the state have assumed
that the company must be brought be-
fore the court to permit of considera-
| ton of the case on the merits. If
| they adhere to this the only aIterna-
| tive is to try out the validity of the
service on Mr.. Hill. If this is denied
| the states case ends.
! The Importance of the states case,
MISUNDERSTANDING tIlG uGClSlOn III The
government suit to test the validity
Of the merger, will appear from the
fact that it remains to be decided
whether the Minnesota statutes car
be used to enjoin com binations Of this
character. The Importance Of the

vious, for if a holding body, such as
the Northern Securities. is essential as

CATARRH OF LUNGS
Is Generally the Result of a Neg
Iected Cold-Peruna Cures Coughs
j Colds and Catarrh. 3


~ ATARRH Of the lungs is, ordinarily.
" known as consumption; also called
tuberculosis. In these cases the ca
tarrh has usually found it's way into the
lungs by the gradual extension Of the dis
ease from the throat through the bronchial
tubes. Consumption is the natural ter
mination of all cases of neglected chronic
catarrh. Every one who Is afflicted with
chronic catarrh is liable to be attacked
with consumption at any time. In the frs,
stages Of the disease Peruna is a sure
cure; in the latter stages of the disease
Peruna can be relied upon to produce
great benefit, and in a large per cent OF
cases produce permanent cure. AL
those afflicted with this dread disease
should begin at once treatment with Pc
runa.
A slight cough, which, without a yes.
tige of doubt, would soon disappear witt
the use of Peruna, becomes chronic bron
chitis, which requires a persistent use o.
Peruna for some time. There are grea
manygcases of consumption every year du'
directly to a neglect Of coughs, colds. etc.
which, if Peruna had been kept in the
house and used according to directions
would have been prevented.

STATUS OF The
MERGER CASE
IS THE NORTHERN SECURITIES
GO. A NECESSARY PARTY?
Question of Validity Of Service Upon
James J. Hill Is of Vital Import
ance-Meaning OF the Dismissal Of
States Case by the Supreme Court.

On every hand inquiry Is heard as
to the present status Of the case of
the state against the Northern Securi-
ties company, following the recent de-
cision by the United States supreme
court denying Jurisdiction. 1t will be
recalled that this suit was begun in
the district court Of Ramsey county,
and was removed by the defendants
into the federal court.
The state had attempted to obtain
Jurisdiction over the Northern Securl-
ties company by service here on James
]. Hill, it's president. It's validity was
attacked by the Securities company
before the removal. After removal
thru ARRANGEMENT between counsel
the question of the service was
dropped and the defendants entered
a general appearance in the federal
court. 1t has been rumored that this
appearance was simply to get hear
ing in the federal court, and that lr
case jurisdiction were denied and the
case were remanded to the state court
1t would go back to it's original status

federal antitrust statute, and that the
laws of New Jersey incorporating a
corporation to violate the laws of this
state failed to give due credit within
the meaning Of the federal constitu-
ton to the laws of this state.
Justice Harlan, delivering the opin-
ion, held in substance that the latter
question was not involved at all, and
that the constitutional provision had
no reference to such a situation as
that disclosed by the facts. Upon the
former, WIZ, the effect Of the Sherman
act, it was held this statute was of
limited character, and prescribed a
limited remedy to be availed of by
the government, or the particular par
ties expressly referred to by it's terms.
It was, therefore, held that the effect
of the Sherman act was not involved,
and that no right or remedy was pred
icated of that act in the states case.
This holding eliminated the only two
federal questions which were claimed
to justify jurisdiction in the federal
court and with their elimination there
was nothing left upon which the jul
risdiction Of those courts could be
founded. It necessarily follows that
Judge Lochren had no jurisdiction to
pass on the merits Of the case in the
| circuit court, and the decree there
rendered was reversed with instruc-
tons to remand the action to the state
court.

THE FIRST STAGE of CATARRH
A Serious Mistake Which Thousands

~ HE first stage Of catarrf is what is
i commonly known as catching
cold" 1t may be in the head, nose,
throat or lungs It's beginning is some
times SO severe as to cause a chill and
considerable fever, or it may be SO slight
as to not hinder a person from his usual
business. In perhaps a majority of
cases little or no attention Is paid to the
first stages of catarrh, and hence it is
that nearly one-haR Of the people have
chronic catarrh in some form.
To neglect a cold is to invite chronic
catarrh. AS soon as anyone discovers
the first symptoms of catching cold he
should at once begin the use Of Peruna
according to directions on the bottle, and
the cold is sure to pass away without
leaving any bad effects.

sure to end in the second stage Of ca
tarrh which Is making SO many lives
miserable. If Peruna was taken every
time one has a cold or cough chronic
catarrh would be practically an un-
known disease. .a-- ~. liz
