ABOUT FISHING.
The Etymef5gN and Chronology

Most everybody now is going fish,
ing.
Fishing, both a. a sport and IS a
means of livelihood, dates from the
remote past.
If we wished to draw aside the
veil of antiquity for twentieth CEN
fury EYES, a fisherman would be dis
covered on tue banks of some pre-
historic stream.
Fishing is about the easiest thing
mankind has ever found to do. 1t
consists principally OF waiting and is
ne of the best known resources OF
he ley man.
Fishing ia always been popular,
tho, it 2vas l1aue famous by LEAK
W Walton.
Ely mological'y considered, the
yer to fish comes from the old
English WORD, fscien, and the later
! Angio-Saxon, ~iscian, altho, fishing
is fishing, whether you mention it in
Latin, Greek or Sanskrit.
AS a sedatlve, fishing is unexcelled
and in the abstract is invaluable to
comic poets who frame a fishing
rhyme when times are dull. Strange
10 say, man began early to exagger-
ate the size of his catch, hence the
adjective, ".fishy," and the circus
Pc ter
! The average man knows when
fishing time arrives but, if he is in
doubt he can settle the matter per-
manently by looking into some fell
;ow's u.gerei Column.
While THESE few remarks may be
neither instructive nvr entertaining,
they have helped IS this far toward
the end OF u column on q dull
day for news.

REBUILDING
 OF THE CITY S2OO,OOO,OOO Will Be Available for Frisco. WHERE MONEY COMES FROM Eastern and Foreign Capitalists
 Will Come to Rescue. Two Weeks Have Resulted in Mar veiious Change, and Chaos Has
 Given Away to Appearance of Regularity.
WHERE MONEY COMES FROM

San Francisco. May 2--An investiga- sutton made today has demonstrated that the fears that San Francisco will suffer a period of hard times as an aftermath of the disastrous fire is un- founded. Careful estimate made by authorities competent to speak show that within the next year there will be over s2oo.ooo.ooo available for the rehabilitation of San Francisco.
 ] It is expected that a large part of this money will come from Eastern and foreign capitalists. In figuring this amount which will be available, the investigators did not take into con- sideration the sums that may be raised for the Identification of the new city.
 The vexatious problem of locating the new Chinatown will probably be settled to the satisfaction of the Chi nese colony.
 It is teh desire of the municipality not to harass this portion of it's for eign population and the desires of the diplomatic representatives of China will he considered. At meeting today of Chinese diplomats and a represen- tative of the general committee, such understanding was reached.
 The two weeks that have elapsed since the earthquake have witnessed a transformation from chaos to regular order. The unburned section has been nearly restored to It's normal condi- tion and when housewives are permit ted to return to their kitchens after the required inspection of chimneys, the streets will have their old time appearance.

Washouts on the Railroads of North Texas--Necessary to Detour
 Trnfna on Frisco system
 --Houmee Blown Down.

Dallas, Texas. May 2.-Extrenels heavy rains destructive winds and lightning have caused serious wash Eouts on the railroads and much dam age in Northern Texas At Denison for forty eight hours rain has fallen aggregating 5 3-4 Inches Tracks are very soft and dan Rerous and are carefully watched. On the Frisco System, between Denison and Red River. a section of track sunk several inches and trains had to bc detoured Similar conditions exist on the M K and T., between Denison and Greenville and Denison and Denison and whitesboro with washout at Whitewright and anc@aer at Bonham Junction.
 The Denison yards of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Railway were flood ed and large forces of men are engaged in clearing the tracks and switches of debris. At Mckinney and about that city wind and rain in volume de- stroyed a number of farm houses and injured several people. All wires are down. The storm swept a clean path from Blue Ridge northeast for eight miles. its track being 200 to 400 yards wide.
 A partial list of theinjured are: Two children named Smith; MT. Ellsworth. Mrs. John Hollis and two children.
 Several members of the Munday fam fly and three members of Wood Youngs family.
 One of the Munday children is fatal ly hurt.
 At Carsonville. near Denison, Bert Gordon, who was crossing a field with a gun on his shoulder, was struck by lightning and killed.

 TRACKED FOR A WHILE.
Agricultural Appropriation BtiI Is Con- pIefed. and the Military Academy
 Eil1 Is Paased--Mr. Crum- packer Prominent.

Washington. May 2,--The House af- tor tha furry and excifenaert which attend It's deuberations durfns the last two days became a thos6ugh business body today, completing the agricultural appropriation bill and passeag the mill itary academy bill. The agricultural appropriation as 1t passed the House carried 37.4sl.44o. The military acad- emy bill carries s1.66s.11s.
 There was little debate on the az ricultural appropriation bill which was called up immediately after the session opened.
 An echo of the recent scandals grow ing out of leaks" affecting cotton re- ports in the agricultural department was created by Mr. Crumpacker Qnd.) who thought, that the appropriation for collecting agricultural statistics was entirely too large. He believed that the forecasts of cotton crops made by the department promoted and fostered gambling and instead of aiding the cotton grower 1t put the whole subject into the stock market and he ques- tioned whether this kind of guess ing" served any good end
 MT. Scott (Kas.) said that the. &C., curacy of the forecast was admitted on every hand and was invaluable to both grower and manufacturer. He said that statistics showed that the forecasts for a year were but one and a half per cent in error.
 MT. Bartlett (Ga.) called attention to the wonderful effect the export of tiTe cotton crop of the South had on pro- ducing the general prosperity of the entire country. He said that the value of the cotton crop of the South for the past five years exceeded by nearly $400. 900 the entire production of gold and silver in the world during that time.
 At 2:30 the consideration of the aE- ricultural bill was completed, all the amendments having been agreed to except the paragraph continuing the free seed distribution. On that para graph Mir. wadsworth demanded the ayes and noes and 1t was carried b4 vote of 15S to s2, The bill was then passed

WILLIAMS NOT SATISFIED.

Has Not Obtained Report from state

 Washington, May 2.-Representative John sharp williams. the leader of the minority of the House of Representa- lives. who Is conducting a general fili- buster in that body to further speedy report on the statehood bill. is not satisfied with the results he is produc- ing He announced sometimes ago that he would hereafter object to all unanimous consent legislation until a report was received from the State hood conference. He has carried out this program using his Judgment in waiving objection when the Legislation proposed seemed imperative.
 The report from the conference com n1ittee. however, has not been made and in discussing the matter today he declared he was endeavoring to put another reef into the legislative sails and demand that a quorum of the House shall be present at all times when business is transacted. This, he says, seems to be the next step neces- sary. and although he has not fully made up his mind to take it, he Is now of the belief that there Is nothing else to do
 The House conferees on the Statehood bill have made every effort in their power to hasten the Statehood contest between the two houses
 The main question of difference has now been reached in their considera- tion--that of admitting or rejecting Arizona and New Mexico.

 Chicago, May 2-Just as the wreck CTS started the demolition of old struc- lures yesterday to make room for se,- 100000 worth of new buildings in the loop district. a strike was called which promises to tie up the building indus try of Chicago.
 One thousand structural iron work CTS following orders will drop work to- day and their idleness will precipitate the first important labor disturbance in the building trades since the 1900 lockout.
 The strike promises to stop nearly all construction work of a large char acter Skyscrapers and other large buildings under way in the down town district especially will suffer a set- back.
 Delay also is in store for the new county court house. where the iron workers were preparing to begin work next week
 The ss,ooo,ooo figure on proposed rev buildings accounts only for i'm provements which follow wrecking operations actually begun yesterday. In the city's loop district. The summer promised an actual investment of $l5,- 900. 900 in new blocks.
 The walkout of the iron workers was voted last night. Arbitration of- fers made at the last moment failed to stop it. The iron workers insist on a wage of s5 a. day for eight hours work. The contractors offer of $4.s0 for four months and $4.s0 for the rest of the coming year was rejected.
 Aside from affecting directly Tour fifths of the mechanics engaged in steel and iron construction work the strike will throw out of employment several other building workmen, such as carpenters. brickfayars. had car riers and stone cutters.
