FISHERS ANXIOUS
MEXICAN GOVERNMENT HAS BROK.
 FEN UP BUSINESS.
Pensacola People Argue that Campea- clee Snapper Hanks are Over League frOm shore of
 Dins's Republic.

Pensacola, Fla, May 2s.-~( Especial. )-- What effect the ruling of the State De- pertinent, which is to the effect that the vessels captured by Mexican gun boats, were In Mexican waters. will have upon the fishing industry at this interest. for if the claims of the Mex jeans that the Campeaehee banks are within its boundaries are held good it will have Its effect upon the snapper industry.
 In the statement recently given out in Washington relative to the capture by the Mexican Government of vessels from this port, Mobile and Galveston, 1t was stated that the latitude and longitude showed on the charts thae the vessels were in Mexican preserves. while the fishermen claim that they were one league from shore. The Mex lean Government ts now claiming that the Campeaehee banks come within it's boundaries, and that while 1t has ai- lowed poaching to go on unmolested for years. that it now intends to exert It's rights and preserve those fishing grounds for it's own people
 The Campeachee banks are far out at sea, and it is stated by the fishermen that the Governments control cannot possibly cover this point. as ft js sev- eral leagues from shore. and in water from thirty to fifty fathoms deep
 The ~si snapper, being a deep sea fish, is nHrd1y ever caught In water un- der twenty fathoms. But the fact re- mains. and is causing some uneasiness here. that if the Mexican Governments control includes the Campeachee banks. 1t will have it's effect upon the red snapper fishing industry, not only in Pensacola, but along the entire gulf coast.
 There are three fishing firms here, and about seventy-fivs vessels are en- gagged in the trade, giving employment to hundreds of men. The Campeachee fishing grounds are considered the best for the red snapper, although q long distance from this port, about TOO miles, but all fishing vessels make this their stopping place, especially during the winter months.
 During the summer. shallow water is sought and fishermen go to different points. It Is said that another fishing ground has been found. which Is off the coast. near Brazos. where a fine red fish is being taken. and that most of the vessels which have left here during the past few weeks are fishing there. pending a settlement of the question of boundaries
 While the snapper can be taken at other points than Campeaehss. 1t is an undisputed fact that the grounds which the Mexican Government now claim comes within the boundaries, are con- sidered by far superior for fishing pur- poses. especially during the winter months, and those interested in the trade here are in hopes that when the boundary dispute Is settled that 1t will be found that the Campeachee banks are beyond the Mexican boundary lim- its.

NOVELTY FOR SLEEPING CARS
viii Furnish Ladies With Receptacle
for ARTICLES of Clothing

After many weeks Of experimenting
General Passenger Agent Cleland of the
Northern Pacific has perfected a novelty
for the use of women travellers on sleep
ing cars of through trains of that rail-
way 1t is receptacle, constructed
of very tough paper of light weight in
which may be placed hats and gloves
wells, light jackets and similar articles of
wear which are not in use while occupy
ing sleeping car berths, and in which
these articles may be protected.
Each paper receptacle is so constructed
that after light articles have been placed
within it the top may be closed and it
may be hung up, out of the way Each
is sufficiently strong to bear the weight
of several different articles and is off suf-
hcient capacity to contain many of the
usual belongings of women travellers. They
are of attractive appearance and when
not in use may be folded into very small
space and packed away into the corner
of an ordinary handbag. They may be
used several times before they are worn
out and are of very seFviceable quality.
All of the Pullman sleeping cars of the
Northern Pacific will carry a supply of
these novelties and sleeping car porters
have been instructed TO distribute them
to women patrons of the line

KANSAS GIRL MISSING.
OIadge Capps, of Liberal. Said to Have
Eloped With a Cook.


Colorado Springs July 27.=The al
legged elopement of Miss Madge Caps.
waitress at the Home Dairy, and
George Ward. a cook at fuckers res
taurant, IS causing a great deal of
trouble for the young lady's family.
Miss Grace Caps, Of 701 Boulder
street, has been unable to find any
trace Of her sister since she left here
two weeks ago with Ward, and her
anxiety was increased yesterday when
she received telegram from relatives
in Liberal. Kan, stating that Mrs.
Caps IS seriously i'll and that she
wishes to see her daughters at once.
The two Caps girls came to Colo
RADIO Springs five months ago from
Liberal. They engaged rooms at the
home of Miss Amelia Wright, 701 East
Boulder street. Grace Caps secured
employment at the Cafatera cafe, z
East Bijou street, and Madge Capps at
the Home restaurant, 515 South TETON
street. Ward was then employed as a
cook at the Home restaurant. Theirs
was a romance of the kitchen, and ii
ended in their leaving the city together
two weeks ago yesterday. The girl did
not tellher sister of her intention to
leave town. but left note saying that
she would write later.
Mr.. Ward returned to Colorado
Springs five days ago alone. He Sc
cured employment at fuckers restau~
rant. Grace Caps says that she
asked Ward what he had done with
her sister, and that he replied that
they had gone to Pueblo where they
were married. He refused to say
where his wife is now.
Miss Caps received a telegram yes
terday from relatives at Liberal, saying
that Mrs. Capps is seriously i'll and
wishes to see her daughters at once.
The girl is in a quandry over the mes
sage. She is afraid to wire that her
sister has elODed for fear that it NAV
cause her mothers death and she
dares not return home alone. Miss
Capps viii probably visit Pueblo to-
day in search of her sister.

THOSE LONG CANADIAN DAYS.
lola Man Working Where sun Rises at
O'Clock. DIRK at Ten.

Conrad Lipp. the smelterman who
just this week returned from Frank
Alberta. Canada, has some very inter-
esting things to tell about the country
there The queerest thing to him was
the length of the days. The work of
charging the furnaces begins about
2:3O in the morning. At 2 o'clock
there in the summer the sun begins to
rise and at 2:30 it is broad daylight
At 9 o'clock in the evening it is still
broad daylight and does not become
dark until 10 o'clock at night. At 6
o'clock some of the workmen complete
the work and Mr. Lipp says it seems
like a whole day before it is time to
go to bed. In winter, however, the
DAVIS are much shorter than they are

An important difference between the

DISRUPT JOINT AGENCY.
New York ONCE of Western Roads
May Be Dissolved.

The joint agency of the Internation-
al & Great Northern, Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas, Santa Fe, Rock Island
and Kansas City Southern in New
York appears to be doomed. A move
ment has been started TO disrupt this
agency, as it is claimed that it is a
clear violation of the law. inasmuch as
1t is practically nothing but a pooling
arrangement. Til ere seems to be some
mystery about where the move against
this joint agency started. Some at
tribute it to a rival combination Of rail-
road and stea mship lines.
This Joint agency was established,
according to the various roads which
are interested in it, to maintain har-
mony and esta blished rates on steam
ship business from the Atlantic sea-
board to Galveston, and to deliver it to
the rail lines named.
At one time there was an effort to
get the steamship lines to form a pool
to work with the railroads, but this
was not accomplished because some of
the companies would not concur in the
propOSition.

big husky looking dame. an inmate re-
fused to dry the dishes when Charles
Bonite. another inmate. came to LeaV-
enworth to do some shopping She re-
fused to 20 down stairs to her dinner
and VIII LaCaiue, the superintendent
concluded that II she was too lazy TO
dry the dishes she was too lazy to eat
so removed her plate from the table.
She came down for supper and the
plate was not there. She became in
suited, and although apparently too
weak to dry dishes once, she was
strong enough to walk five miles TO

Chairman Short of the county board
This was last Saturday and yesterday
the woman and Superintendent LaCaille
appeared before the county board and
aired their troubles.
The SUPERINTENDENT stated that the
women in the poor house have big
snap: that they have nothing to do but
sit around all day and that this is very
much 10 the liking of the majority;
that the only ones who will do any work
there are aged and crippled men who do
not like to live eff the county without
doing some work. He said cripple had
scrubbed the room and carried WOOD 10
Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Lilly all Of last
winter, and that they had made no eff
fort to help themselves.
This woman" he said, pointing to
Mrs. Ross, eats her three meals a day
and smokes four ounces of tobacco
week: she was asked 10 dry some dishes
and absolutely refused to do so; I would
have done so myself had it been abso-
lutely necessary The work would have
taken about five minutes. She said she
was not strong, yet she was strong
enough to get into a fight with Mrs.
Lilly, her roommate. and to throw her
down and choke her. The woman do
not aid at the farm; most of the work
is done by men who do not like to lie
around without doing something for
their board. Ny wife has even scrubbed
the room this woman occupies, to keep
1t clean"
Mrs. Ross was called upon to explain
about the assault upon Mrs Lilly She
said they had dispute about how
chair had been placed against trunk;
strong provocation for a knock-dowu
and drag-out fight.
The commissioners talked to the wo-
man and she said she could get along
with the superintendent If she were al
lowed to return to the farm. LaCaille
willingly took her back.
