FISH REMEM-
BERED HIM.
Patient at Hot Springs Befriends
a Sick Trout
Twice.

That a rainbow trout he's q memory
and that fish seek medicinal waters
wien sick, las been proved here by
sp occurrence which would have pro-
voked doubt were il not from the ex-
traoI dinaGy prcof attached to the
incident.
Three years ago Barney Niece
one of the best known railroad men
in the West, was visiting the springs,
suffering from rieumctism. Seve.a ID
days after reaching here lie wGs wa!k-
ing along the bank Of the river some
distance below the springs, when lie
noticed a large rainbow trout near
the bank.
MCGEE watched the tGout for some
time, and cautiously went nearer the
water. Tie trout looked ct MCGEE,
and the railroad mGn stopped down
and picked up the trout, the fish MAX
ing but a feeble resistance. More in
humor than in seriousness, Niece
declared wfYen lie arrived vt the ho-
tel that tie fish WIGS suffering Icm
the same complaint as Eimeslf ana
he would put it in a bethtub and have
its rheumatism driven out &. ON its
fins and ta.i. He did put It IN wurm
water, and for three days fed It on
WORMS thGt lie dug up nearby. The
trout seemed 20 recognize its bene44c-
ter, and much 10 The surprise Of
every one, wGs able on tie third day
TO flash around the tank w,i@h al
the speed Of u healthy fish.
Having formed an attachment fer
the fish, MCGEE decided to put It
back in the river again, but before
Going 50 secured a fine piece Of sill
yer wire, which he carefully wrapped
around its tail.
A few weeks ago Mr.. MCGEE Ogair
returned TO the Strings, ana, taking
a dasly walk a,cng the river bank,
lie WIS astonished TO see big fish
within 10 feet Of where he stood. Mr..
MCGEE reached down in the water and
pulled it out.
1t Was not until he was rsering the
hotel, to, ags1n Go a good Samaritan
act, believing the fish had rheumatism
that he saw wire ON its tail, diecol-
ored by long immersion in water.-

NO MORE SPoONING
AT IOWA CITY gu"
Number Of keokuk Students at Iowa
University May be Figuring in
Crusade Now on

H
Because of the number of Keokuk
boys attending the university at Iowa
City, much local interest will doubtless
be aroused in the crusade which has
just been inaugurated at the institu-
ton against all manner of twilight
"spooning" and the supernumerary in
cidentals that usually go with it.
A dispatch from Iowa City says:
No more "spooning" in the dark at
the big formal parties at the Unve-si-
ty of Iowa. The Pan-Hellenic associa-
tion formed of the four Greek letter
sororities has put a ban on the dark
dances" and hereafter no longer will
the slow, dreamy waltzes be played
with the halls in semi-darkness or
worse.
The sorority girls at a secret meet
ing of the council on last Monday
eveuning passed the rule The agita-
tion has been brewing for some time
but the official action was not taken
until this weekIt was hastened by
the last Pan-Hellenic party, which was
marked by a half dozen sentimental
dances with practically only the
orchestra lights to keep the couples
from humping into each other. For
some time the anti-society faction of
the faculty has been horrified by the
exhibitions" during these so-called
dark dances.
The dark dances came into vogue
four years ago at the university and
has become very popular. Every for
NAL party has been marked by five to
! ten Of these numbers. The usual
/ lighting is ordinary turned out and the
hall left with as little illumination as
possible. I

Senior Iowa Senator Calls Senator's
Attention to the Morbid and
Abnormal Effects Of Wool
Schedule.
TO OFFER AMENDMENTS
Makes Direct Reply to AIdrichs State
ment That Allison Approved
Schedule and Was Loyal
to Protection.

WASHlNGION, May 4.-Doll1ver,
OF Iowa, called the senate's attention
today to the morbid and abnormal"
effects OF the wool schedule, setting
forth some queer krinkles in the
schedule. He showed that set of
furniture, consisting of sofa and
chairs in the upholstery of which
traces of wool appear, is made to pay
eleven cents per pound duty as though
1t was all wool of first class 1t is
valued at over seventy cents per
pound, and it pays A cents per pound
duty. This sum is multiplied by the
number of pounds of wool, tapestry,
padding, nails, tacks, ETC., to get the
specific duty. To this is added So
per cent invoice value. A cotton blan-
ket with wool fringe pays duty as
though 1t was all wool A fur coat, If
lined with cotton, or has no lining, is
assessed so per cent advalorem. But
with 50 worth of wool lining, 1t is
charged A cents per pound, and sixty
per cent advalorem. Rubber boots
with a trace of wool lining are weigh
ed at the sixty-four cents per pound
rate, In addition to sixty-five per cent
advalorem provided for wearing ap-
parel, composed In whole, or in part,
of wool. He also showed that in
cheaper blankets, flannels, dress
goods. etc. the average duty ranged
from 1o1 IS 143 per cent. sDolliver, am
nounced he would offer amendments
correcting these abuses. He favored
abolishing the distinction between
wools of the first class and second
class. AS to yarns, and all kinds Of
cloth and wool, he suggested amend
ments effecting a small reduction in
higher ranges of woolen rates by max
ing compensatory duty applicable on
the weight of wool contents In cloth,
not the weight of the cloth. He fin-
ally proposed to make a general pro-
vision that no duty should exceed 100
per cent.
Replying to Aldrich's statement the
other day tnat his late colleague Alli-
son had approved Of the schedule and
that Allison had not been swerved in
his allegiance to protection by politi-
cal conditions at home, Dolliver said
'Tf the senator intended to humiliate
me by that intimation. he unintention-
ally pays me compliment This ma,
tion has now entered a new era OF
direct responsibility on the part OF
the presidents and congresses alike
and to that public opinion which ought
to be the real government of the
United States."
