SOME TRUE FISH STORIES.
Bass Are Highly Educated and Prac-
tice WiIes to Fool Anglers.

1t is related for fact that the reas-
on bass jump-and 1t is common
practice of the fish-is because they
wish to acquire grace and strength
in testing their ability against that of
fishermen,
Several men who say they know
what they are talking about point out
that bass do. most of their jumping
during the spring, and are especially
active just before the open season be-
gins.
At this time they may be seen do
and side-stepping.
One bass expert goes so far as to
say that he spent an entire afternoon
a long willow sapling through the
on hook.
Leaping into the air. it would turn
in a half circle as if to disgorge the
barb, and then it would swim back
ward in an endeavor to snap the
branch.
This fisherman asserts that what
jumping the bass do during the sum-
mer is merely to keep in practice and
not get stale.
"Bass are intelligent little beasts;
that is the reason they travel in
schools" remarked Walter Dumping,
an authority on fishing and a can
didate for the nature faker class.

Arrangements have been completed
to the minutest detail for the Chau-

Park during the ten days commencing
Monday, July Is. No pains have been
spared by the management to make
this first meeting a grand success, and
all indications point to the fact that
it will be the most successful assembly
ever held in the west. No Chautau-
qua grounds in this part of the coun-
try are more accessible to the public
than Garfield Park. 1t is practically
inside of the city. The street cars run
to the main entrance. Nature has
done more to make it beautiful than
any spot used for park in the west.

Ray G. Woolverton's Article on Chau-
tauqua Feature.

Following is one of the prize essays
by Topeka high school students, with
features of the coming Topeka Chautau-
qua as a subject:
THE MIND AMUSED AND THE EYE
ENCHANTED.
This is what we claim for ]. Alonzo
Zwickey of the Chautauqua course. On
July "a you may go to Garfield Park and
be startled and delighted by the same
person that has startled and delighted
thousands of other Americans. Mr..
Zwickey does this by drawing every
imaginable thing at lightning speed,
and delighting his hearers by a Sleep
dispelling monologue.
Mr.. Zwicl1ey is a Swiss Canadian. He
combines the best kind of humor and
culture. His artistic talent enables him
to conceive the most beautiful scenes,
his quick eye and practiced hand enable
him apparently to enchant his drawing
board.
This number is one of the best exam
pies that we know, where you may learn
a lot without firing your mind. Mr..
Zwickey's entertainment is a fair art
education. From watching his work, all
pictures become plain to you. You can
imagine the strokes and recognize fine
points in other works, after seeing his.
In some lectures you must imagine the
illustrations to the description, but here
they appear before you, as the lecture
goes on.
The rapidity of his drawing is mar
velous.a The pictures seem to flow from
the artists finger tips. You can never
tell what is coming next. A mass of
black color, magically touched, may be-
come tumbling ocean, or a grass COW
cred hill. Now humorous, now beauti-
full, the pictures carry the audience as
IL to the creation itself. Earth, suns,
and clouds come forth; grass, trees and
hills spring up, and at a stroke a river
is made.
What you hear may leave you beyond
recall, by the time you reach the street
car; but these things that you see will

the champ bass fisherman of East

to Devils Pool, favorite haunt of the
black bass.
Red Run is filed with crawfish.
Walworth noticed that the fish were
leaping about in an unusual manner.
Looking closer, he saw the reason. An
army of crawfish was attacking the
school of bass. driving them frantic
by nipping at their tails.
OF a sudden the fish all darted away
in the direction of Devils Pool, and
for a few seconds everything was
quiet Then the water was dashed to
a foam and the dead crawf1sh flew in
every direction. When the warden
looked again he saw magnificent IL
pound bass rise slowly to the surface
and turn over on its side. Scuttling
down the stream were a dozen or 50
survivors of the crawfish army, most
of them minus their fighting claws

GOLDFlELD, Dec. 1.-THE pro-
gram continues one of quiet here,
with all interest centered in tomor-
row. when resumption of work will
be attempted by the mine owners at
their properties.
1t is claimed tonight by the mine
owners that they will have sufficient
forces. On the other side it is as
serted that if such is the case it will
be by reason of imported labor Two
hundred men are said to have been
quietly brought in from California to-
night.
On the streets there is divergence
of opinion. Many men, it is believed,
will go back to work tomorrow morn
ing who have been supposed to be
stanch union members. 1t is believed
the number of these returning min
ers will show large increase from day
to day.
1t was learned this afternoon that
commission will arrive Sunday o"
Monday from Washington to examine

YOunsCoupIe Disappointed Because
Their Intentions We're Guessed
Will Wed Tonight at the SteptOe

A pretty romance in which one To-
cal person is concerned intimately,
will be consummated tonight, when
Miss Kate Cassidy, of Denver, Colo,
and Jack Baker, of this city, are unit
ed in wedlock in the parlors of the
Steptoe hotel. The marriage has the
added interest of being the second
performed in Ely City.
For some time previous to Mr..
Bakers coming to Ely he and Miss
Cassidy were sweethearts. About a
year ago he came to this section to
make his fortune and established
himself as member of a local dairy
firm. His business grew and pros
pered apace and the correspondence
between himself and the bride to be
finally brought about his ac-
ceptance by the future Mrs. Baker
and the setting of the date.
Miss Cassidy arrived in the city
several days ago and registering at
the hotel was shortly met by Mr.
Baker. Every spare moment since
that time he has passed in the COM
pany of his future wife. Neither had
any idea that outsiders knew of their
plans and seemed much astonished
yesterday when the surprise they eX-
pected to occasion by the announce
ment of the near approach of the
nuptials was not evident.

GREATEST SOIL

Tells of Wonderful Thinss..Has
Potato Orchard Coming On.

Manager Burbank Plate of the Con-
solicited ranch was the center of an
admiring group of friends in the
Steptoe lobby last night. Mr.. Plate
held his audience spellbound while he
told of the agricultural possibilities
of the section, with enthusiasm grown
from a dissertation on farming which
he had just read in the News. Mr..
Plate, by the way, has lately started
an agricultural library based on sub
scriptions to the Farm and Fireside
journal and other pubncations of like
character Besides which for matter
with the real barn yard twang he
reads the Impostor.
Reverting to the matter under dis
cussion at 4..o .5oeptoe, Mr. Plate
sailed in smooth waters until he told
of the frosting of potatoes at the time
of the year when frost caught the
bushes as they came up from the
ground A gentleman in --le party
innocently asked if he did not mean
that the trouble occurred when the
bushes started upraising, whereupon
the discussion grew so general thai
he retired to a corner to tell re-
porter all about 1t.
"They are miners, not farmers, y
explained the farm manager, "and
they cannot get the science of farm
ing through their heads. Take Mr.
Mcconnell there, breaking in with
that upraise business. What else
could you expect from man from
Butte who gets all he knows about
potatoes from hotel menus. Why he
asked me yesterday if we didn't grow
the baked kind on our farm and then
wanted to know when the boiled ones
were harvested in this section. What
do you think of that? Along that

REPORT UNAVOIDABLE
Under Government Call In New
New City, Support Withdrawn
from Market Brings Decline.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-Money ad-
vanced to 20 per cent today and a
decline under selling almost from top
to bottom of the stock list is attrib-
uted to the calling of loans, begun
by number of banks yesterday:
1t is understood that the action on
the part of the banks is due to un-
favorable reports as to the cash re-
serves of banks in the interior at
many points where they were sup
posed to be strong and also to les
sened reserves in this city by reason
of continued calls from the interior
for relief. The publication OF de-
tailed reports of the New York banks
has shown couple of important in
stitutions in closer quarters than had
been supposed and uneasiness has
again been made for
While it is not believed that there
will be any such onslaught on the
market as witnessed at earlier periods
in the year it is possible that the
next few days may witness some
sharp declines. 1t is more likely,
however, that the support which the
market had last week will rally to
it again and that things will so adj
just themselves as to permit of a
slowly advancing market.
The selling today converged eape-
cially on the Hill stocks and Reading,
and as these had been picked for the
most conspicuous operations in sup
porting the advance. their sudden re-
lapse was of marked sympathetic ef-
feet on the whole market Some rel
ativo resistance was shown by the
coppers, which might be accounted
for by the large short interests IN
those stocks waiting TO cover on the
decline. There was some evidence
also of direct transfer of large ac-
counts from the Hill stocks into the
Hartman Pacifics.
