FOR VIOLATING FISHING LAW.
Justice of the Peace at Monmouth
Fines Himself and 2!s chum.

Justice of the Peace John Belcher
OF Monmouth tried himself for viola-
tion of the fishing law, received his
own plea of guilty and fined himself
$S4.35. trifle over So apiece for the
fish he caught out of season John
Case and John Belcher, prominent
citizens of Monmouth, became too
ANXIOUS to wait until May Is to go
fishing. The morning Of May 10 was
60 bright and warm that the two old
cronies went to Mineral creek at a
nice shady point where it runs into
the Maquoketa river. Here they met
with such wonderful luck that when
they returned home they had string
of eighty-one bass. Proud of their ex-
traordfnary catch, they displayed their
strings to their neighbors, and some
envious mortal passed the word along
to State Warden Lincoln. Last week
Deputy Warden Frank Carson was or
dered to Monmouth to Investigate. The
result. was the arrest of Case and
nelcher. They were tried and paid
their fines, Case S16s.70 on twenty
two counts and Belcher $S4.35 on ten
counts. This totals a trife over So
apiece. for the fish and makes probably
the most expensive fish ever caught
in Jackson county. The odd feature
OF. the. case was, that, Belcher being
justice of the peace, the cases were
brought in his court. He pleaded
guilty before himself, then took his
crony's plea Of guilty and assessed the
fined against himself and his friend
On his ownNedger.

Ia tho Old North state.

u may be safely written down once
toe all that the Democrats will re-
deem the congressional district In
Mssh Carolina now represented by
1Dn. Spencer Blackburn. The Repub-
Ian factions In that district are bitter
a. gall toward each other. Either
would prefer to see the Democrats
triumph to seeing the other Republican
fA4tton win. The anti blackburn Re-
publican ofhceholders had Blackburn
lndiotsd several times, but the federal
Judge took the cases from the jury and
discharged him, which only intensified
the factional fight. Blackburn got him
seaf renominated, but the other gang
ccntrd the machinery. At the last
meeting Of the factions they had such
. row that the police had to interfere
TO prevent manslaughter on large
scale. Pity the cops hadn't been

crats have nominated Mr.. Hackett, a
man Of capacity and character. All
eood Democrats will wish him hearty
godspeed in his race, and all the North
Carolina Democratic orators will give
him aid and comfort, and as the North
CAROLINA delegation is one of the
strongest in the house they will put
up great fight.

War on Mail orders.

THE Iowa State Federation of Mer-
camille associations, representing &c.
600 retailers in nearly every line of
trade, wholesalers and manufacturers
In this state, was organized at Des
Moines last week. 1t is designed to
seek the welfare Of retailer, jobber
and manufacturer in general, and to
fight the encroach1hents of the big
mail order houses in particular. 1t is
the strongest move yet made to pro-
feet the retailers against the growing
business of the catalogue houses. The
new organization will bring pressure to
bear upon all manufacturers and job
befs to secure from them an agree
ment not to sell their goods to the
catalogue houses. 1t will appoint a
legislative committee to lobby in the
interest of laws designed to benefit
the interest which it represents. Some
changes in the statute regarding ex-
emption from debt are especially
sought by the retail merchants. The
association was formed at meeting
Of representatives from all the retail
trade organizations of the state and of
the wholesale and jobbing interests.
The officers elected are: President,
John Mehlhop, Council Bluffs; secre-
tary, Of the Iowa and Nebraska Whole
sale Grocers' association; vice presi-
dent A. C. Hutchins, Des Moines, sec
rotary Of the Iowa State Manufactur-
srs association; Observation-Disclosures,
IRA B. Thomas, Dss. Moines. secretary
Of the Iowa State Retail Merchants
association, comprising the retail gro
GERS and butchers, These ofncers are
temporary, and the permanent organi-
sation is to be ratified by the several
state organizations interested.

Stopped the LAUGHTER.

Stopped the Laughter.
Senator Robert Marion La Toilette
appears to many Republican states
men in the character Of Robert lie Di-
able. When in burst of rage because
Republican senators would not remain
IN their seats to hear him speak on the
railroad rate bill he shook his trate
flst at the empty seats and roared that
Il the occupants did not look little
out those seats would be permanently
vacated by the present holders, his ut
terance was generally derided by the
plutocratic press. But since La Fol-
lette is making the tour Of the north
ern Chautauquas with blacklist of
Republican senators in his hand and is
holding the aforesaid senators up to
public execration as recreant to their
duty and their country the plutocratic
press is laughing on the other side Of
its mouth. 1t is said that the entrance
OF Senator La Toilette into New Jer-
sey, where Senator Dryden is up for
reelection, has caused a panic among
the trust Republicans. Bully for In
Toilette!
West Virginia Democrats Active.
This dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
Quirer makes cheerful reading:
Wheeling. W. va.-As an outcome Of
the impending conflict for control of the
Democratic party in West Virginia. the
report comes from Grafton that Colonel
John T. McGraw. the national committee
| man and accepted state leader. will be-
| come a candidate for the lower branch Of
the legislature. Colonel McGraw lives In
Taylor county, and his race will be
against DR. T. B. Lanhan. the Republic
an nominee, for the one seat in the house
OF delegates that county is entitled to.
Notwithstanding the rnajorities West Vir.
ginia has given to the Republicans for the
last dozen years there are signs Of q
| great awakening within the Democracy.
The leaders are encouraged by the fact
That Cornwell. the candidate for governor
two years ago, pulled Governor Dawsons
majority down to 5000, although Roose-
welt got $4,000.
