Monster Haul of Fish.

One hundred thousand pounds of
fish were taken out of the Mississippi
near here at a single haul Monday
by the Gremore brothers, Frenchmen
who live in "old French Town, "
north of Prairie du Chem, Wis. A
net 5000 feet long was used. The
fish, many of which weighed %
pounds and upwards, had been i'm
prisoned in a temporary lake form
ed out of the slough by the rapid
falling of the river. 1t required two
days to sort out the catch. A large
number were found to belong to a
species which are not now market
able. These were thrown back into
the lake When the dearth of game
fish in the market in the winter
creates a demand for them, the fish
ermen will seine them out again
from under the ice.-Lansing Mirror.

one of the prongs of the fork struck
him squarely in the eye ripping it
open and destroying the sight. The
other eye began failing and he was

several of them decorating the walls

on his head with considerable force,
then striking a chair, which also
came out the worse for the en-
counter. DR.. Woodland was called in

for pension on the grounds of hav-
ing received injury from a Civil War

HUGHES CERTAIN
OF NEW YORK
DELEGATES BEGIN TO ARRIVE
FOR BIG CONVENTION TO-
MORROW.

NEW YORK. April 10-DelegateS
from upstate are beginning to drift
into the metropolis today in advance
of tomorrow's republican state con-
ivention, which will doubtless be one of
the most important gatherings in the
history of the party in the Empire
state.
The action of the convention. in the
opinion of astute politicians, will go far
toward determining how New York s
vote will be cast in the coming presi-
Dental election, and, in consequence,
whether the country will have a repub-
ilican or democratic president
! New York republican leaders admit
that there is little likelihood of such a
walk over for the party as that Of four
years ago. In declaring for Hughes as
the standard bearer, New York repub-
licans believe they can go before the
national convention and assert "Nomi-
nate our candidate and We will guaran-
tee his election
1t is this spirit that animates the
delegates to tomorrow's state conyen-
ton and it is now settled beyond all
doubt that New York's delegates will
present a united front at Chicago in
behalf OF Governor Hughes.
| General Stewart L. Woodford,
President Jacob Gould Schurman of
Cornell, ex-Mayor Seth Low and ex-
Governor Frank s. Black will probably
constitute the big four that will lead
New York's delegation to Chicago.
| Governor Hughes by common con-
sent has been accorded the privilege
| of naming the Big Four. None of
the politicians have attempted to ham,
per him. State Chairman Woodruff and
County Chairman Parsons have side
stepped responsibility, because should
they select the delegates they would
be bound to fight hard for Hughes all
the time, whereas, if the governor him
self names his delegates he can have
only himself to blame in case of a
break
The governor wants men Of the type
of Low, Schurman and Woodruff to
represent him, instead of practical pol
iticians. The appearance of ex-Gover-
nor Black on the slate is attributed 70
the Influence of men behind the Hughes
!! State league. George w. Aldridge and
Senator Bracket, chief officers of
the league, are expected to help Black,
as will the Odell forces. If Black should
be left off, it is likely that Bracket
will be put on. If Black goes from the
state at large, it is expected that
Brackett will be one of the delegates
from his congressional district.

PLAGUE OF WOLVES IN CANADA
Killing Horses and Dogs and Clearing
Up Traps and Bait.

James K. Cornwall returned on Sat
urday night from a months trip to
the northern country beyond Athabasca
Landing, writes an Edmonton CORES
pendent of the Toronto Globe. Mr..
Cornwall states that the wolves are
creating devastation and inestimable
loss among the settlers of the upper
Peace river district.
At Dunvegan and Fort st. John
more than $4,000 worth of horses
have been killed by wolves. The
reason for the ravenous rampage of
the wolves is the scarcity of lynx and
rabbits, which have died off or have
migrated in large numbers.
So numerous have the wolves be.
come and so desperate in their invas-
ions that for the first time in the his
tory of the north the Dogrib Indians
have been unable to pay their debts
at Fort Vermilion because the wolves
have regularly cleared up their traps
and bait and have devoured their dogs.
Clement Paul, the celebrated hunter
and trader of Hay river, killed %
wolves last winter within a radius of
five miles of his cattle corral.

MinAra, Wealth of Illinois.

Illinois has neither silver nor gold,
yet in the year 1905 the actual value
of Illinois mineral products was far
greater than that of either California
Or Colorado. This discovery has been
made by the United States geological!
survey, which has just compiled its
statistics for the year 1905.
The figures collected show that the
Illinois output was double that OF
CALIFORNIA; in value. While Illinois
nas neither of the precious metals
above mentioned, it produces vast
quantities of cement, clay, coal, pig
iron, stone, lead and zinc, which are
worth much silver and gold in the
worlds markets. The sum total of the
output of Illinois was $105,065567, of
California $43 ,4O6,25S and Of Colorado
$50, 28O,944
