pACIFro COD AND CHEER.

The saddening news has been given. out that the codfish crop on the Atlan- tic coast has been small this year. But encouragement comes from the Pacific coast. From Seattle, San Francisco and from Anacortes, on Puget Sound, fishing craft are sent in large numbers to the shumagin Islands, just south of the peninsula of Alaska, and also into Behring Sea, The codfish caught by the fishermen on the Pacific coast had last season a weight of more than 14,- 100000 pounds, and this season it is be- lieved that it will amount to fully 16,- 100000 pounds The cod of the Pacific is quite equal to that of the Atlantic, and what under existing conditions is of advantage to the fishermen of our far western States is that the fisheries are frequently carried on in close prox- imity to our own territory, and at these places stations are established where men can stay through the season, and in some cases all the year round, and where fishing vessels can supply them- selves with whatever they may need for the proper prosecution of their voy- age.
 The talk in the far West is that su- premacy in codfish will soon pass from the East. Possibly But it is cheering that the codfish isn't going to pass out.

4 REII PUBLTC UTTLTTY

Cflasgow'sg municipal ownership and operation of public utilities isn't all it was at first cracked up to be. but Glas- gow has one utility" which seems to be well worth the attention and imita- ton of some other places. This is an institution for the improved handling of drunks. Instead of railroading them from the police court to the rock pile or the workhouse-to emerge thence only to enter on another spree-they are placed for an indefinite time in a municipal inebriate reformatory, which is under the management of a committee of twenty-two benevolently minded citizens, including the lord pro- vost and a prominent physician. The beneficiaries include men and women of all classes occupations and relig- ions. They are fed with nourishing food, four meals day, in connection with approved treatments, enforced regular hours and employment, includ- ing farm work, and educational oppor- tunities are provided for the ignorant; games and music for all. There are no "prison walls" with their taint for the inmates future, so escapes now and then occur; but the escapers are almost invariably brought back, if they do not voluntarily return. The patients dis charge seems to occur when it is ap- parent that he has been 50 Quilt up" physically and mentally, that there is reasonable hope of his ability to with stand the temptations of drink. Out of sixteen discharged within a twelve- month ten justified the hope; six re- lapsed. The institution apparently pays it's own way, the last years revenue, including balance brought forward,
 amounting to $1O2OO while the expen- ditures were $1O,1OS.
 This appears to be much better than the system of dealing with drunks which prevails in many cities--in good old New Haven, for instance.

The cost of protection from deer is becoming a serious matter in the vest ern counties of Massachusetts, Last week the county commissioners of Hampshire county approved claims for $143 for damage to crops by wild deer and the reports of depredations in Hampden county indicate that bill of similar proportions may have to be paid there. From Berkshire and Frank lin counties have come stories of deer in large numbers invading farm yards and destroying garden crops and young trees. On the one hand there is a heavy penalty for the individual who kills deer and on the other a still heavier burden on the county for pro- 7tetting these tinid creatures.

Much work will have to be done at the new navy yard at Charleston be- fore it is altogether accessible to war ships of the larger class. It is found that the approach to the station by way of Cooper river will have to be dredged to the depth of thirty feet at low water, and that the channel will
 have to be strengthened to admit the passage of vessels of the deepest draft
 There will have to be survey of the river by the army engineers before anything can be done but those who have been looking into the situation in- sist that the dredging of the approach will have to be undertaken without much delay if the facilities of the new plant and the dry dock are to be avail
 ed of by the navy. The plans for the development of the yard have been ap- proved by the navy department with 6 view to regular annual appropria- tions for the next few years, so that the place will soon become useful as repair station of importance and cana city equal to the plant at Norfolk.

Some people are mean enough and sly enough to steal elephants The British consul reports that stealing elephants is a common practice in ST. am. There the huge quadrupeds are employed in the teak forests-and fre- quently disappear. One British firm last year bewailed the loss of a dozen and reported that as many more were stolen from their contractors. Another firm lost nine, only three of which were recovered. As the average value of the elephants is about $1 900 a head the consul naturally enlarges on the seriousness of the matter What Is an- moving about it Is that the officials are indifferent, and if one of the missing creatures is recovered at all it Is only by means of search party organized for the purpose.

More than nine years have passed since Andree set out for his Inflated expedition to the North Pole The Geographical Society of Stockholm, has decided to erect memorial to him and 4 his companions, Drs. Stindberg and Herr Fraenkel, which is to take the form of a bas-relief, erected In some conspicuous spot in the city of Stock holm. The work has been entrusted to the Swedish sculptor Eric Lindberg, who has completed a design showing the balloon lowering over the Arctic ice regions. In one section of the de- sign Sweden is represented by an ale gorical figure watching with anxiety the balloon moving away towards the Pole. The names of the occupants are carved underneath the sculpture, with the date July Il, 1897.

THE FEMALE TEACHERS.

A bulletin just compiled by the
census bureau shows that numerically
the teachers are the most importants
professional class in the United States.
They form a larger portion of the
professional class here than in any
other country except England and are
increasing more rapidly here than in
England. The female teachers form
1884 per cent, of the whole and the
proportion is increasing. The largest
proportion Of male teachers are found
in the southern states.
The bulletin also shows less illiteracy
among native whites of foreign parent
age than among whites of native
parentage. This is attributed to in
ferior school facilities in portions of the
south settle by the whites. But the
proportion of illiteracy is constantly de-
Ginning, among females especially, and
it is believed that eventually there will
be less illiteracy among them than
males.
The statistics further show that the
average age of female teachers is in
creasing. This might be called the
triumph of candor over discretion.
But the woman's club will not call it
that. They will consider it proof that
the delightful task of rearing the tender
mind and teaching the youthful idea
how to shoot is one for which women by
natural adoption and patient training
possess superior qualifications, proof
that woman has succeeded in the field
of intellectual competition and should
therefore aspire to greater degree of
participation in other professional
occupations.

ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.

Among 300 farmers, raisers of corn
hogs, and beef, assembled at an insti-
tute meeting, only three raised their
own strawberries, and this in local
ity where the strawberry was as easily
raised as the potato. Some had tried
and failed; others said it was too much
trouble; others the many said thew
they would be glad to raise them if
they only knew how. AS the time will
soon be here when the bed must be
planted, we give simple directions for
making one which. if followed, will in
sure any man all the nice berries his
family can possibly use. Take strip
of land eight feet wide and ten rods
long, pillow it eight inches deep, then
disc and harrow it till it is put in the
finest filth. If the soil is thin and poor
put six or eight loads of we'll rotted
barnyard manure on it before blowing.
Get 400 plants from some reliable dealer
some home man, if possible-of four or
five varieties, such as Lovett, Clyde
Warfield, Beder, Wood Crescent Parker
Earle, Brandywine or other varieties
which the home dealer can recommend.
Set out the plants in three rows three
feet apart in the row, mixing the
varieties when planted; keep we'll cult
waited and free from weeds the first
season; cover with two inches of prairie
slough grass, cornstalks or clean straw
after the bed is solidly frozen up in the
winter: rake covering off after plants
begin growing in the spring and leave
cover for mulch between rows; then
in June your reward will come. After
fruiting keep the weeds and grass out
of the bed as much as possible, fruit
next year then pillow the bed up. The
way to be sure of plenty of berries is te
plant bed every spring. We have
followed this plan for twenty-seyer
years and have never failed. 1t is
worth knowing that if you can irrigate
the bed during the blooming and fruit
ing season you can almost double the

IS CUMMINs AHoRsE THIEF7

To read the republican newspapers
of the standpat type, one would natur-
ally infer that Gov. Cummins is horse
thief, a robber of hen roosts, cut
throat, pirate, robber Of widows
and orphans, and he wears government
socks. One republican who never
scratches his ticket, said the other day
he would never vote for Cummins, no
odds what ticket he run on.
The standpat papers say things
about him that they would not say of
democrat, and you know they will say
anything about democrat they can
think of. And we wonder if it is true.
We presume it is pretty well understood
we have no use for Cummins, but is it a
fact that he is all the things that the
republican papers say about him? Did
he ever rob blind woman or did he
ever throw down blind beggar and
steal his pennies? He is worse than
Captain Kidd or Robin Hood, if you
believe what LATE Young, the Cedar
Rapids Republican, the Hawk-Eye and
Gate City says about him.
We regret the fact that we have
such bad, bad man for governor, but if
it is true, tell the truth and shame the
devil. If the republicans want to
clean house we are not narrow enough
to deny them the privilege. "Let 'em
tight!- Washington Democrat.

WORK WEAKENs THE KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney pills Have Done
Great Service for People Who
Work in Leon,

Most Leon people work every day in
some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over desk-riding
on jolting wagons or cars-doing
laborious homework; lifting, reaching
or pulling, or trying the back in a
hundred and one other ways. All these
strains tend to wear, weaken and iniure
the kidneys until they fall behind in
their work of filtering the poisons from
the blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, put new strength in the
backs. Leon cures prove it.
Mrs. r. S. Conkle, living in the east
part of town says: wears ago | lived
on a farm before moving to Leon where
! did my share of the work and proba-
bly, at some time strained my back: be
that as it may, since then | have had
attacks of dull aching across the loins
particularly evident after hard davis
work. 1 knew from the actions and
conditions of the kidney secretions
that my kidneys required attention and
when last annoyed in this way went to
Van Werden's drug store for Doan's
Kidney Pills. AS a result of the treat
ment my back was better and stronger
than it was prior to my acquaintance
with Doan's Kidney Pills. To show nv
faith in that remedy have recommend
ed them to more than one friend and
acquaintance"

The American people are hometown

The American people are home-loving,
enterprising, patriotic folks, and their
pride in their home is one of their
dominant traits. 1t is selfishness that
is the cause of many eyils that exist
1t is selfshness, the saving of few
cents or dollars that even cause an ex-
cellent class of citizens to overlook
their own interest, and to give their
patronage to other than home institu-
tions. The business men of a town
should carefully weigh every reason
that may influence those who should be
their patrons in the sending of money
away to foreign places. Residents
of town should make every effort to
give their deighbors in the agricultural
sections an understanding that they are
as vitality interested in it's progress as
are the residents of this place.
