Boone, Dec. 26.-Truant Officer John

ing the truancy law in not compelling
their children to go to school, The
Scurlocks we're taken into court, first
before Judge McBirnie, and then to
Judge Lockard's court. Here it was
continued for several days. The de-
Tense of the Scurlocks was that they
sent their children to school, but that
the treatment accorded them was not
what it should have been and for this
reason they We're kept away. The
judge did not look at matters In that
light and after the evidence Of the tru-
ant officer and Superintendent King
had been taken fine Of $40 and costs
was charged up against the Judg-
ments which the Scurlocks have Sc
cured against the city. The children
in the meantime had been returned to

Dubuque, Dec 26.-Low water and
freezing weather are playing havoc
with the fish Of all varieties Wintering
in the sloughs and shallow bayous
along the Mississippi river.
Many complaints have been made
within the past few days to Deputy
Game Warden Barmeier to the effect
that dead fish are being taken in large
numbers from the various sloughs
about the city. The parties who IN
formed of the proceedings thought that
the law was being violated, and that
the practice should be stopped, but II
has developed that in view OF the
reigning conditions, the fish might as
we'll be disposed of this way as any
other, so no movement will be made
by the warden in the matter.
In discussing the situation, Mr.. Bar
meier explained the reason of things
reaching the state they are today. Inc
water in the Sloughs this winter is
unusually low; SO low, in fact, that
dozens of the fishes are frozen right
under the surface of the ice. Boys in
large numbers. and many men as Well,
are making q practice Of going the
rounds Of the sloughs with hatchets
and axes and chopping the fish out
bodily.
So profitable has the practice be-
come that it is not a rare thing to
see boys leaving the sloughs carrying
large sacks over their shoulders
which are completely filled with fish
which they have chopped out Of the
ice In the uptown districts not long
ago the youth were offering the finny
ones for sale six for five cents, which
circumstance so excited the suspicious
once phoned the deputy warden of
the affair.
According to the statement of Mr..
Barmeier, there is only one remedy
for this contingency, and that is the
taking of all fish out Of waters which
are liable to freeze solid, or almost
solid, but there are not sufficient ap-
preparations made for that purpose, so
that it cannot be done.
The fish are thus destined to freeze
anyhow. so that there seems nothing
illegal, the official declared, about the
action Of the boys In chopping the
fishes out of the fee. Mr. Barmeer
says that thousands of fish will die
during the present winter which could
have been saved to these parts if only
there had been sufficient appropria-
tons made for the care of them.

Red Oak, Dec. 26.-Red Oak people
may not even buy cigars on Sunday
now, and the milkmen will have to
complete their morning trips by
o'clock, for the wave of reform has
struck this town with full force. 1t
was started several months ago by
County Attorney w. c. Radcliffe, when
he drove out the slot machines, and ne
again gave the lawbreakers jolt
when during the session of court just
closed, he brought indictments against
two druggists of Red Oak and one OF
Villisca, for selling whisky illegally
Another drug firm of Red Oak gave up
its permit, leaving but one druggist IN
Montgomery county with the legal
light to dispense whisky.
Mayor Thomas was not to be out
done in the trick of dealing out the law
so ordered the suspension OF all bus-
mess in Red Oak on Sunday that is
in violation of the law.
For several years the church people
of Red Oak have been making siren
uous objection to allowing cigar stores
certain clothing stores and restau-
rants and candy kitchens of this city
to run wide open on Sunday, and to
them the action of the authorities is
particularly gratifying.

saloons here We're closed on Christmas
day. The change is such a radical
one that much grumbling was heard,
not so much on the part of the saloon
men as among their patrons. No one
questioned that the law required the
closing of the saloons on Christmas
day. It appeared difficult for many
to console the laws requirements with
their general ideas Of what constitutes
a real holiday, with good cheer abound
ing. The spirit of fellowship and con-
VITALITY of the season did not appear
to them complete under the laws re-
straint. Many among the liberal ele-
ment, not patrons of the Saloons
voiced similar sentiments. But it has
proved harvest for the Omaha and
Council Bluffs street railways and the
Omaha cars, various estimates being
made on the sums that were diverted
into their channels during the day and
night.
