CATFISH IS SIX FEET LONG
Nebraska Farmers Catch One That
Weighs 297 Pounds-CIaim It's
the Biggest Ever.

Valley, Neb.-Presumably the larg-
est fish ever caught in inland waters
was landed here by Willis Orris and
John Wixon, farmers. 1t was a black
catfish and weighed 297 pounds, and
was almost six feet long.
The Platte river was unusually high
this spring, having flooded the low
lands and bottoms. Now it is rapidly
receding. The other day Orris and
his hired man, Wixon, were out in a
pasture, repairing fences. In a swale
over which the river had swept, and
which was filled with water to a depth
of a couple of feet, they noticed a
great disturbance. Going out there,
they discovered the monstrous fish.
Pitchforks were secured and then the
chase commenced. The swale was
about 100 feet wide and 300 feet long,
and back and forth the fish flew, lash
ing the water into foam.
The fish. finally tired out, was driv-

Quaint Table Manners.

Jerome S. McWade, the Duluth mil.
nonaire, talked at dinner about the
delights of backwoods vacation.
II go to quaint backwoods village
every summer" he said, "and number
less are the quaint people 1 meet
there
"Old Boucher, for instance, the jan
itor of the village church, is most
amusing with his quaint ways. l had
old Boucher to lunch one day, and
the cold lobster was served with a
mayonnaise sauce. When my servant
offered this sauce to Boucher, the old
man stuck his knife in it, took up a
little on the blade, tasted it, then
shook his head and said:
Don't choose none.'"

to shine for few hours, was a dress
of white muslin embroidered jour, of
very narrow outline and simply belted
above the waist with piece of white
ribbon, which was drawn through a
buckle made Of forget-me-nots and pink
roses. A bright blue chiffon scarf was
held in the hollow of the arms, and
this was fringed with white glass
beads, while the hat was a leghorn
bound with black satin, with bunch
of forget-me-nots and roses at one
side, tied with black satin. Black
shoes and pale blue stockings put fin

Draws Nose From Forehead.

Lebanon, Pa.-Sarah, the nine-year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
Henshaw of Hummelstown, underwent
an operation for new nose. The girl
was attacked by dog and lost an
inch of her nose, and Dr. A. B. Glon-
ninger local surgeon, by plastic
process transplanted piece of flesh
from the little patients forehead to
her nose, sewing it to the tip and
practically providing new nose.

a NAw Version.

Lawyers have peculiar system of
abbreviation, such words as trustees,
executors being cut down to trees,
exors, and admors. This practise led
to an amusing slip on the part of a
solicitor, who, somewhat late in life,
abandoned his profession and entered
the church. A few Sundays after his
ordination he startled his congrega-
ton while reading the lesson by deliv-
ering one of the passages as follows:

MAN ACCUSED OF FORGERY
APPEARS AS OWN ATTORNEY
William Wright Puzzles Court
with illinois Legal Terms

William Wright, charged with utter
ing a forged check, conducted his own
case when held to answer in Judge
Davis court yesterday morning. He
is an attorney from Illinois, and when
brought out of the tanks took his place
at the lawyers table with such sang
froid that spectators in court figured
he was there to defend somebody. He
was. The defendant was himself.
In legal terms he demanded his i'm
mediate release on the ground of dis
continuance" Judge Dovis looked
puzzled. and the defendant then ex-
planned that in Illinois when a prison.
er's case was continued from time to
time without the defendant being
present, it was ground for the dis
missal of the charge.
"I have been in Jail 104 days without
a trial." said the defendant, "and de-
mand my release because NV trial has
been ordered continued by the court
without a lawyer or myself being pres
ent to look after my case"
Judge Davis informed the defendant
that he had never made any orders
continuing the case, but that it had
been postponed frequently in the alb
sence of the defending attorney. The
judge suggested that the case be tried
without delay.
"Your honor" said the prisoner,
changing his tactics, "I ask that you'd
be kind enough to grant a postpone
ment of the trial until I can properly
prepare for my defense" The case
was postponed until next week.

DECEIVE PUBLIC WITH
NOMINATING PETITIONS
UnWary Voters Called on to Bind
Selves to Candidates Not
Their Choice

Fraudulent methods of securing sig
natures to petitions of candidates have
been unearthed by Thomas Lee Wool
wine, former city prosecutor and a rec
ognized candidate for district attorney.
MI. Woolwine has found that some
of the registration clerks are aiding
the circulators of petitions by telling
those seeking to register to sign petit
tions as well as the registration blank.
AS few read the petitions, they sign
them without knowing what they are,
and then find they are bound fast to
support some candidate for office
whether they prefer that candidate or
some other.
Agents of some of the candidates
have established their tables beside
those of the registration deputies which
are scattered about the business por-
tion of the city In some cases when
the blank has been filled out by tho
registration deputy the unsigned blank
is turned over to the agent for the cam
didate, and the voter is asked to sign
his name by the agent. The agent
places two papers in front of him, one
a nominating petition for some candi-
date and the other the registration
paper. The voter signs both without
looking at either, and is caught hard
and fast In signing this petition he is
debarred from signing the petition of
any other candidate that may be run
ming for the same office, for his sig
nature can be counted on only one
petition.
Mr.. Woolwine has a number of affi-
davits of persons who have been VIC
timized in this manner and intends
to use them to good purpose.
