MMlTATLoN, SALMON.
Carp, Buffalo and Dogfsh From Missis-
sippi Shipped to Gamers.

Is iWinona, Mimi. April 19.--The grow
ing Importance of the. industry of
catching the large fish in the Missis-
given out by A. F. Herold, of Maiden
Rock, Wis, who was in Winona yester-
day. Mr. Herold is said to be the larg-
est purchaser of large fish along this
section of the river for shipment to the
New York market altlo he is not alone
Din the, work, there being several others
in the. field
Mr.. Heroldg states that from Dee. 1
to March 10, he shipped direct to the
New York market ia carloads of carp.
buffalo and dog fish, ALI taken from the
Mississippi river between the head of
Lake Pepin and Hannibal, Mo-, altho
seven. ei8hths of the entire amount
came from between the head of the lake
and La Crosse. For this large amount
of fish the sum of $4,000 was paid out.
It was; all shipped direct to New York.
Wher asked if this fish was treated to
make it limitation salmon, Mr., Herold
said he had no report on this subject
altho he had been told it was done.
1t was shipped on from here as carp,
buffalo and dog fish, and purchased as
such, and after this purchase he had
no further connection with the hand
ling Of the fish.
Mr. Herold said he anticipated this
industry would increase materially in
the future. At its session this winter
the Minnesota legislature had amended
the fishing laws so that Wisconsin
fishermen could fish over to the Min
nesot: side of the Mississippi river un-
der their Wisconsin license, and also
in lakes and bayous where fishing had
before been prohibited. While the Wis
consill legislature had not yet passed
this law it had been agreed to and
will be passed in the next few weeks,
thus permitting fishermen in either
Minnesota or Wisconsin to. fish over to
the opposite side of the river under the
one state license. Mr.. Herold said he
anticipated that because of this the
output the next season would be in
creased 10 six hundred carloads of fish
for which half million Of dollars
would. be paid. THE fish were in the
river. 1t was only necessary to take
them out.

Social War Between Divorce and Sec
ond Wife Costs Magnate Fortune.

Social War Between Divorce and Sec
ond Wife Costs Magn ate a Fortune.
E. New York, April 19.-.The social war
between Mrs. W. B. Leeds No. 1, di-
yorced from the tin plate magnate in
1896, with a "dowry" Of q cold mil
lion, and his present wife, who was a
Mrs. May Stewart Worthington, of
Cleveland, took a new turn yesterday
when agents for Mr.. Leeds were forced
to pay into the treasury department at
Washington, under protest, s110,335, to
be added to the cost of a quarter of a
million dollar necklace bought in Paris
last year F
Friends and foes Of the two Mrs.
Leeds are fond of telling of their So
cial war in Europe. The first Mrs.
Leeds. in addition to the $1.000,000 set
tlemellt on her, had a fortune of her
own and was we'll able to maintain
herself in luxury. It was in the course
Of travel that she met her former hus-
band and his second wife on their hon.
eymoon, and the coincidence of their
ARRIVING simultaneously at watering
Tplades about Europe gave rise to the
story of the rivalry of the two women,
other in splendor.
However it be, it was a fact, we'll
established since by volumes OF court
records, that the present Mrs. Leeds
acquired a beautiful pearl necklace.
The string was collected by Bernard
Citroen of Paris and displayed on many
occasions by the bride. 1t happened
that the same string of pearls which
dazzled Europe, to say nothing OF the
divorced Mrs Leeds, arrived in this
country, in a bag, unstrung, and Beg-
nard Citroen, named as the Importer
for Mrs. Leeds, swore that it was Ha-
BILE to duty of only 10 per cent not
being necklace, but only so many
unstElng pearls. The trifie duty OF
$22,500 was paid and Mrs Leeds seemed
to. be in full possession of her neck
lace.
But the government officials thought
twice and demanded q reappraisement.
They declared that the necklace was
liable to an increase Of so per cent
duty.
Thu. ease was carried into the United
States circuit court There it was de-
cided that Citroen must pay the
amount of the protested duty before
he could appeal from the decision of
the local board of appraisers. This
amount was paid yesterday. Added to
the original cost of the necklace the
so per. cent duty raises the price of the
bauble that figured so prominently in
the war between the two Mrs. Leeds to
something like 100000

plans for sailing. Miss Quaife has en-
gagged passage on the Cunard liner

Liverpool, but is now trying to get
berth on some New York steamer that
will take the Mediterranean route and
land her at Naples, in order that she
may spend a few weeks in Italy before
going to London. The original plan was
not to visit Italy until later. Miss.
Quaife will attend the summer school
at Oxford University, and after her
work there is finished will tour part
of the continent. Miss Quaife has been
abroad before, having spent a summer
five years ago in Europe, at which time
she visited nearly all of the important
countries.

.NAPHTHA-eo PER CENT
Manufacturer Says His Stove Polish
Is Dangerous.

Az another of the public hearings
which Deputy Fire Commissioner hugh
Bonner ana the members of the Mum
icipal Explosives Commission are hold
ing at Fire Headquarters. it was
brought out yesterday that many stove
polishes contained 80 per cent of naph-
tina. This dangerous preparation was
in universal use, it was said. Fifteen
manufacturers were present at the
hearing.
A. i. Prescott, Of J. L. Prescott &
Co, manufacturers of stove polish, said
that his firm made up a stove polish
composed of plumbago, varnish and
naphtha. He explained that as 1t left
the factory it was about the consist
ency Of condensed milk, and contained
about 80 per cent of naphtlla. This was
sold to stove manufacturers, who di-
luted 1t to suit themselves Used on
cold stoves in warerooms 1t was not
dangerous. The domestic polish, how
ever put up for household use in the
hands Of ignorant or careless servants
or others and used on a waran stove
was highly dangerous.
I'VE do make stove polish that Is not
.inf1amnlable or explosive, Mr. Pres
colt said. CAS- manufacturer I am
heartily in favor of any action like
~ to lead to the abolition of this in
farnmable stove polish from the mar
ket 1t is largely made out west. They
are pushing 1t vigorously and ito keep
our trade we have to manufacture a
considerable quantity, but it is dam
aero,1s r,rn7,Ict fo handle We have
had several serious accidents at our
factory lin Newark, and / would be
glad to see it go.
'Naphtha is much more dangerous
than gunpowder. The inflammable va
por which arises from it is invisible,
and as it is four times as heavy as air,
it steals along the floor and seeks out
the fire It's great danger when spread
on stove from which all the fire has
not disappeared Is perfectly plain"

PRISON FOR BIG MEN.
Disclosures in Chicago Police Scan
daIs May be Disastrous for High

Officers.
Chicago, April 19.-The scope of the
police investigation which already has
unearthed so much corruption in the
department under the Collins admin
istration, has suddenly broadened to
admit of the exposure of the system
under which policemen for years have
levied tribute upon the lowest dives
in the city and the men and women
who keep and inhabit them.
Members of the civil service COM
mission have come to the conclusion
that the time now is ripe to call IN
witnesses and get actual proof of this
evil which they have heard of only In
unofficial ways during the administra-
ton Of Collins.
Should the witnesses who are to be
called talk to the commission with the
same frankness that was exhibited by
the witnesses who talked of illegal
political work, exposures thus far Will
appear as nothing by comparison. the
levying of tribute from vice is an ac-
knowledged custom, but one which 1t
has been almost impossible to prove
specifically.
One important feature OF the new
hearing will be an endeavor to dispeI
the common fear of the men higher
UP" and teach the men who do the
real police work Of the lcity-the pa :
trolmen-that they will be protected
in doing their duty
One of the results of this hearing
is that it may end in prison terms for
at least score of the ringleaders in
this form OF police graft. While the
members of the civil service commits
sion can promise immunity to the witt
nesses who assist in making the IN
vestigation, no immunity can be ex-
tended or promised to the higher Off :
GERS. who are believed to have profited
by this state of affairs. The close at
tention being given to the hearing by
states Attorney Healy makes 1T not
only. possible, but more than likely
that criminal proceedings will follow

taken sArss

List of Harness Rice Meetings
in the State For the Year
Announced
SOME TO BE NOTABLE EVENTS
Announcements From Every Section OF
the State Being Made - Months OF
August and September Filled With
County Fair Dates County Fair
Programs Being Recognized.

Even this early In the season there
circles and in those branches of pubic
amusement which cater to race
track following. While far in advance
of the opening of the racing year d
large number of circuits, Independent
associations and county and district
fair organizations have announced their
dates for the year.
Even a partial list Of these events
is striking evidence Of the esteem IN
which the harness horse Is held In
Iowa. and the effort that is being made
thru him to draw the public to the race
track.
The present year gives promise, 50
far as Iowa is concerned, of being fully
up to, if not exceeding all previous
years This is true in a number OF
respects Not only will there be more
race meetings, but as a whole the
purses will average higher. The total
amount to be hung UP in prizes Will
total an enormous sum.
s.
The county fairs have become prom
inent factors in the race horse game.
In practically all OF the counties of the
state annual fairs are held, and in all
most all of them series of races.
stretching thru two or more days, are
programmed. In many of these both,
the harness and running races are of
as high class as any held outside the
cities of the Great Western circuit or
the state fair. The average of the
purses which these county fair as
sociations put UP compares favorably.
and in some instances exceeds the
purses hung UP by the several cir
cults Of the state. Horse men are COM
ing to recognize these fair races, and
where fair treatments accorded them,
where the purses are right and are
guaranteed and the association is repu-
table, horse owners are coming to
them.
The American Trotting Association
has just issued its annual year book for
1907 and it contains a list of the rae
ing dates announced up to this time.
