"A FISH STORY.
TEddyyille Tribune

We note by an exchange that
fish weighing 1872 pounds and measur-
ing FIVE feet and eleven inches in
length was recently taken from the
Mississippi river at Burlington. That
fish must have been son or grand
son of the one that Charles Anderson,
the black smith, came 80 near catching
at this place some days since. Charlie
located a big fish in an old discarded
barge al the sand plant and endeavored
10 land the Ash by dropping him line
thru hole in the barge but found the
hole too small and his hook and line
inadequate for the purpose. He went
to Mr. Keller and after securing per-
mission 10 cut a larger hole in the
barge he made a larger and stronger
hook which Mr. Keller thought large
enough to land small whale.
Charley then fastened back to the
barge and succeeded in hooking the
fish and drawing it almost out of the
barge when the fish gave a sudden
founder and wriggled off the hook. es-
capped into the water Of the Des
Moines, and was seen no more. The
fish was not entirely out of the water
and its head came even with Charley's
waist: spectators estimate the length
of the fish as being about three and
one-half feet md weighing about sixty
pounds.

The anew South" and the Negro.

A New York contemporary aSRs
whether a recent outbreak against the
negroes in Texas town is a mani
festation of the spirit Of the new
south. II declares that the savagery
Of that outbreak could not have been
exceeded IN Ohio or Illinois. While
there are occasional race riots In the
southern states, as in the other states.
and while 1t is true that the old-time
feeling Of confidence in their white
neirhbor. among the negroes has been
somewhat impaired by the politicians,
the old friendly feeling for the colored
race still lives In the south. The lfher-
al attitude Of the legislature and the
white people OF Alabama to-
ward Booker T washington's school
attests this feeling. There are other
manifestations Of southern friendship
