how nicely she clipped the top off of

TO FORCE SHYLOCKS
FROM DEBTORS COURTS

Chicago, Jan. ia discovery by
Chief Justice Harry Olsen that that
particular branch of the municipal
court system designated as the debt
ors' court was being used by former
constables, collection sharks and dis
reputable lawyers to make collections
in way not contemplated by the law
will lead to the abandonment Of the
custom Of allowing representatives for
creditors to examine debtors out of
hearing of the court.
The custom of allowing "represen-
tatives for the petitioners" to take
debtors from the court room to an
adjoining chamber, there to pursue an
Investigation to their assets, grew out
Of the unusual number of cases COM
ing up for hearing.
Then the custom arose of the en-
ploying agents and former constabes
to conduct cases in the municipal
courts. With no judge to overhear
the examination, the men appearing
as Representatives for the petition
ers" took ignorant debtors into pri-
vate chambers and conducted their
examinations in the most approved
ways of intimidating and browbeat-
ing.

There they INDUCED in dancing,
contrary to the rules Of the school
board that class organizations must
not give dances.
The result was that on the follow
ing day 22 members of the class were
called into Principal Hart's office and

TONS OF DECAYED FISH.
Salt Lake Drying Up and Thousands
Upon Thousand of Fish Perish.

st. Petersburg, Fla.-When in its
glory, Salt Lake was a body of water
half a mile long and a quarter of a mile
wide. On account of the dry seasons
the lake has steadily dimished during
the past three years, but particularly
this year, so that now it is nothing but
a muck pool a foot deep and one hun
dred by four hundred feet in dimen-
slons. Of course, nearly all life in the
water has become extinct. The alliga-
tors and turtles have been leaving
steadily for some time, and now thous-
aLds upon thousands of dead and de-
caying fish are lying all over the place,
forming a large white mass, visible a
long distance away and sending up
smells and OdOrs distinguishable still
further away.
Over all the water and some sur
rounding land the fish, muIet and
Dream, are spread out a foot thick. In
the little water left on the south side,
where the rock bottom is, there are a
few garfsh left, the sole survivors of
the fall, and in about week the water
will all dry up, and they will be no
more. The place is one big bog, and
will make fine muck land, especially
after the fish have all decayed.
