Killing Fish in Streams Near
Milton by Nefarious
Use of Explosives.
PARTIES ARE SUSPECTED
ARRESTS MAY FOLLOW WITHIN
FEW DAYS n EVIDENCE CAN
De OBTAINED TO GUARANTEE
CONVICTION.

Milton, Ind, Aug. o.-For the past
two weeks the streams around Milton
have been dynamited but at last 1t is
thought that the guilty parties have
become known. Suspicion has pointed
strongly to several local young men
for some time, but their names are
with held until sufficient evidence has
been gathered to warrant their arrest.
The matter will be fully investigated
by the authorities as such practices
will not be tolerated it Is said. A hea-
Wy fine is imposed for dynamiting
fish. No one has ever been convicted
on this charge In Wayne county for
some time, and II the parties are
caught an example will be made OF
them it Is said, and they will be dealt
with severely.
SEEMING the streams is another prac-
tice which has been INDUCED in
around here and 1t is expected that
arrests on this charge will follow also.

THE LAST STAND

There II nothing to censure and
much to sympathize with in the action
OF the King OF Spain In fighting for
the African colonies which are the
last remnants Of Spanish colonization.
It is just four hundred years since the
Spanish flag went up over the Afri-
can territory. Today 1t seems that ev-
on what is left Of what was once the
grandest scheme of empire is about
TO 60.
The Droudest nation on the earth
has had much to suffer. There is
something pathetic about the last
stand Of King Alfonso holding up the
honor Of Spain At the price even Of
yisking his crown. And this seems
one Of the best indications that there
Is something latent In the descendant
Of the Bourbons now on the throne
which really entities him to the place
more than the pretender Don Jaime
who could have had the throne by ex-
srting himself Jittle but who back
ed out. when the victory was almost
In his hands to the disgust OF his fol-
lowers. There is no evidence Of the
gutter about King Alfonso.

There is no abatement in the tone Of

general recognition of sound cohdi-
tons in business and a gradual recov-
cry in the volume of trade. We have
become accustomed to measuring busi-
ness by values. and in many cases the
records Of comparison already show
increases over the prepanic year.
This method OF comparison. however.
is somewhat misleading. and when the
volume of business is measured by
quantity rather than value. 1t is seen
that in many respects We are still be-

The Steel trade is unquestionably

record-breaking products, and the
great United States Steel Corporation
in many OF its deYartments is also
taxed to the utmost in filling orders.
Since prices have advanced. 1t is easy
to see that the current business Of
the steel industry must be very much
more profitable than a year ago. This,
of course, accounts for the strength OF
the Steel issues in spite OF the disap.
pointment felt at the dividend on
Steel common being raised to only 8
per cent. Such conservative policy,
however, is to be commended. since in
the long run 1t will tend to establish
confidence In the management OF this
huge corporation. With the uncertain.

way, the market temporarily lacked
specially interesting features. The
latter. however. were soon supplied by
the strength impaired to the Harrf'

both of which were taken in hand by
the speculative leaders and pushed to
new high figures on rumors of his

the policy OF those in control-namely
to take special stocks as leaders and

Old English Libel Suit.

Parliamentary repartee was ably up
held BY Lord Brougham. especially
during the great reform debates OF
the last century. On one occasion.
when anti-reformers were trying to
howl him down by initiating the
sounds made by various animals,
among which the braying Of the ass
was most recurrent. he waited for a
pause and then remarked imperturba-
bly, that by a wonderful disposition of
nature every animal had its peculiar
mode Of expressing itself and he was
too much Of a philosopher to quarrel
with any Of those modes. This was

whether he resigned to take the head

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
A Good Example.

From the Philadelphia Press.-The
three commissioners Of the District of
Columbia are reputed to be modest
men who would disclaim any desire to
be regarded as great reformers. but
they have announced q reform that
may contain a wholesome lesson for
other great cities. They have issued
an edict that no more billboards shall
be erected within the city limits OF
Washington. Those garish horrors
that the sign paipter's brush flaunts
before the eyes Of tourist, citizen and
statesman are to be banished from va
cant lots, blank walls and deserted
buildings.
washington Is fast approaching the
realization of the plans and dreams Of
L'Enfant. whose contury-piercing eye
saw q city beautiful AZ the seat of
the nations government. Its parks,
broad streets. splendid marble and
granite federal buildings have become
the show places Of the country. and
yet the first sight that greets the In
coming guest and tourist as he en-
erges from the &, 900, 900 union depot
Is an array Of large billboards bearing
on their glaring expanse boasts Of the
merits Of somebody's bourbon or the
picture of a maiden in abbreviated
bathing costume, advertising the At
fractions of = seaside resort. Facing
the most beautiful parks and attrac.
tive driveways are similar atrocities.
The commissioners have decided that
such display Is not in harmony WITH
q city beautiful" and they are ever.
lastingly right.
For years those blasphemies against
nature that have been daubed. across
some Of the grandest scenery In the
country, advertising merchandise and
nostrums, have sickened the heart of
the lovers of the beautiful. Akin to
this sordid DETACHMENT of natural
grandeur are the monster billboards
that trench on city parks and spoil
the scenic and architectural effects Of
modern municipal improvements. The
commissioners Of the District Of Co
lumbia have developed an idea worthy
OF general consideration.
