A GRAVE QUESTION.

From reliable sources we learn that
the cemetery in the town of Brighton
is in a badly mixed up state. The
cemetery was established great many
years ago and in many cases relatives
of departed ones buried there have
not taken care of the graves, and at
present it is almost impossible TO To-
cate some of them. Some of the
mounds have sunken so that they are
no longer discernable. The original
wooden markers have decayed and
rev ones put up have been put in the
wrong place, so that now tEere IS con-
fusion. Several times, and as late as
this spring, the sexton, in digging
new graves, has dug into decaying cof-
fins, enclosing the bones ! people
who died years ago. While this state
of affairs is due mainly through neg
lect, the neglect has come through
the change of town officers nearly
every year. 1t has been case OF Civ
ing more attention TO the collection
of taxes. etc, than TO the dead. How
ever. we learn that an effort will soon
be made to have the cemetery re-
plated and recorded, 50 that graves
in the future may be located

IMPORTANT CHANGES.

Features of twenty-seven assembly
bills and several senate bills have been
incorporated in general fish and
game bin which was reported in the
assembly today. About twenty as
sembly bills, which confiicted with
some of the details of the bills already
incorporated, have already been killed.
The bill reported contains many
important changes in the existing
game laws. the aim of the measure
being to secure general uniformity
in the statute. Not only will enforce
ment be more easy, but It is the be-
lief of the fish and game committee,
which has spent three months in
framing the measure, that there will
be less conflict for a possible litigation
i'm the statutes.
Probably one of the most important
changes that is proposed in the omni-
bus measure, is that the fishing season
shall open on June lst, in every sec
tion of the state.
The hunting season for all classes OF
game. which can be hunted under ex-
isting laws, will open 10 days later
than for several years past, the new
date being Sept. 10TH Provisions re-
garding deer hunting, which were
scattered promiscuously through the
old statutes, have been summarized
in one section Of the substitute bill.
The most important feature of this
section is that the deer hunting IL
cenSe viii have but one coupon al
tached, instead of two, as previously
thereby limiting the number of deer
that can be killed TO single one.
This is blow to the s'p0t-hunter,
who often comes here from other
states. The open season for deer re-
mains as formerly at twenty days
| from Nov. 10 To 81.
Hereafter prairie chickens may be
killed in any one CT the counties oi

city, whose stage name is Clever Con-
key:
'If Conkey, the talking juggler,

find his hands disabled, with which he
does some clever Juggling stunts, the
vaudeville stage would still be open
for him in other fields. Conkey keeps
up continuous repartee all the while
he is busy with Indian clubs and
other Juggling articles. and he always
has the audience in laughing mood
as a consequence.
