Winter Fatal to Fish That Came
Into Rock River Through Canal.
Sterling Gazette: w. F. Mangan,
deputy fish warden. says he was up
the river yesterday to investigate the
fish question. Ever since the canal
has been open there have been a
great many shad coming in the reser-
voir above the government dam and
here they have located and have
waxed exceedingly strong, and in the
course of few years would be fine
eating and easy to catch, but Mr..
Mangan says that he finds thousands
of them died. 1t seems that they
have been staying up in the shallow
water of the bayou on the south side,
and probably became frozen In the ice
for the whole winter and when it
thawed out they were dead. 1t is
said that these young fish are what
are termed Illinois river shad. COM

Cutting of the $4,000 annual rev

FALCONS would necessitate the dismis-

departments, and we would be obliged
to carry on the business Of the mu-
nicipality on hot air." Mayor q. W.
McCaskrin declared at the nesting
of the council last evening.
The statement followed the adoption
by the city council Of resolution
offered by Alderman Martin McNesfy
instructing the finance committee,
mayor, attorney and clerk to invesu-
gate the financial resources Of the
city. in view of the proposition now
before the people to make the COM

joyed q substantial though slow growth.
this latter condition due wholly to the
fact that its rates we're high as COM
pared with other fraternals. The So
ciety was builded on an absolutely
sound foundation, and but for the litt
cation resulting from Its experience
with the American Home Circle doubt
less would have grown to be one Of
the strong societies Of the country.
The American Home Circle had its
head Offices at Springfield. When 1t
was absorbed by the Fraternal Trib-
unes in 1908 a storm arose among the
membership of the former. 1t was rep
resented that the American Home Cir
Gle officers did not have authority to
take such an action without consulting
the membership. The outcome was
that the Fraternal Tribunes permitted
the membership of the American Home
Circle to withdraw.
An Accumulation of Claims.
This latter action occurred in July
of last year. The American Home Cir
Gle had an accumulation OF claims that
1t did not have the resources to sat
isfy. Those holding unsatisfled claims
entered suits naming the Fraternal
Tribunes and American Home Circle
as joint defendants. While the Illinois
superintendent OF insurance held that
the Fraternal Tribunes was not legally
liable after the withdrawal of the
American Home Circle membership,
the lower courts ruled otherwise, and
the present move of the Fraternal
Tribunes was the only alternative for
its officers to follow as means of pro-
tecting it's membership.
No Funds to Meet Claims.
The following resolution, passed by
unanimous vote of the supreme tribun-
al of the Fraternal Tribunes, March Il,
sets forth the general situation:
Whereas. Law suits have been
brought against the Fraternal Trib-
unes for sums aggregating $4,000, on
account of deaths of members OF the
American Home Circle; and,
Whereas, The lower courts have de-
cided against the Fraternal Tribunes
up to the present time; and,
Whereas, The Fraternal Tribunes
have no funds with which to pay these
claims, nor to give bonds so as to ap-
