THOSE FISH IN THE CALDWELL
POND

For some reason or another the fish
i'm the Caldwell pond are all dying.
Some say it is because the pond is go
ing dry and others that it is because
lit has been dynamited. Some of these
fish are very large, and weigh as
much as sixteen pounds.
Perhaps as many as twenty years
ago, when there was so much in the
newspapers about the German carp as
a food fish, and the government was
distributing them in all parts of the
country a bucketful was sent to some
unknown party in Ocala. As the day
on which they arrived was bitterly
cold the express officials were fearful
that they would freeze, and turned
them over to Hon. c. NJ. Brown and
the writer, and we placed them in the
Caldwell pond. We are a little sur
prised to know that they have been
growing and multiplying all these
years, for We thought they had long
since disappeared.

NOT THE PROPER SPIRIT

The Buffalo IN. " Courier State
Chairman Corners paper, speaking OF
the fight made against Governor John
son in Minnesota, says:
The plurality against Mr.. Bryan in
Minnesota in 1896 was 53,768 and in
1890 it was 1850. John A. Johnson,
democrat, carried the state in 1904 by
la plurality of 1882 in spite of the re-
publican tidal wave that gave Roose-
welt a plurality of 161,464 in Mime
sofa. In 1906 Governor Johnson was
reelected, receiving a plurality Of 76,-
633.
''In view of this evidence of pOliti-
cal strength, and in view Of his at
tractive personal qualities and high
character, it appears that there are
Minnesota democrats who sincerely
think that the governor would make
a good candidate for president and
that the Minnesota delegation should
present his name to the Denver con
vention. A recommendation that this
be done was adopted last week by the
democratic state committee.
"Irritated and exasperated by the
action of the democratic state com
mittee, the managers of Mr.. Bryan
announce that they will contest all
the nine congress districts against
Governor johnson. They are not will
ing to permit his friends to show him
the courtesy of even a complimentary
favOrite son vote.
Several months ago when the
availability of Governor Johnson as a
presidential candidate was being dis
.cussed in various parts Of the coun-
try, Bryan organizers were so resent
full that they invaded Minnesota and.
with insinuatiOns that Jim Hill and
the Wall Street crowds were back of
Johnosn, began an enrolment with a
view of keeping the Minnesota dele
gates away from Johnson.
Apparently the demand is that the
democratic party of no state in the
Union be permitted without a fight to
support anybody but Mr.. Bryan at
Denver. Even the courtesy shown by
Secretary Taft 70 Governor Hughes in
New York is to be denied Governor
Johnson in Minnesota Such tactics
may gain a nomination in July, but
what about the election in Noyem-
er?"-World.

Safe Blowers Obtain $1,ooo.
nVGg

A daring bank robbery early Sunday morning was committed at Sulphur Springs, which in the bold methods pursued recalled the exploits of the Jesse James gang many years ago. Be- fore daylight the whole town was aroused by two explosions. Officers and citizens rushed for the downtown dis trict, and on reaching it found that safe-blowers had wrecked the build ing, occupied by the Bank of Sulphur Springs and completely destroyed the bank vault. An investigation showed that the robbers had secured more than $1,000 in cash, besides notes and other valuables. While the officers were hastening to the scene they saw four men mount their horses, which had been hitched near the bank, and ride rapidly westward in the direction of the mountains. Before pursuit on horseback could be arranged the men had reached the hills, in which are many gorges and hiding places. No trace of them has been found, and it is feared they made good their escape.
