Jealous Fishes In a Ouei.

"Fish are liable to the same passions
as you and l, and they fight and love
as we d." said DR.. Francis Ward. Il
can show you photograph of a rain
bow trout in what would have been a
fight to the death if ! had not inter-
fered. In a pond were Il big female
trout and her partner. who resented
the intrusion of another trout. Sud
denly one fish charged the other and
seized him by the jaw. He shook his
opponent as a dog shakes a rat and
kept on until his enemy foated to the
top. Then took the fish out and re-
vived it with little weak whisky and
water."-London Mail.

I'VE have had a splendid bust
ness while in Bismarck, in fact
better than we expected. If we
could have secured a least on a
larger building near the track,
or If we could have purchased
land off the right of way close to
the track, we would have built a
house of our own, we would have
remained in Bismarck. The fact
that all large buildings were &C.
cupied, and the most of the sites
off the right of way have been
purchased was a great factor in
our making the change. Then too,
we are in sort of pocket here

the Billings house on the west,
and our Duluth house on the east,

overhead expense up higher in

EASTER BALL GIVEN FRIDAY Ev.
ENING WAS ONE OF HAPPIEsT
SOCIAL FUNCTIONS OF THE
YEAR - OVER SEVENTY-F!vE
COUPLES WERE IN ATTEND
ANcE. SPLENDID TIME EN-.
JoYED.
Since their organization here over
year ago the Elks have given some
OF the most enjoyable social enter
tainments ever held in the capital
city and the Easter Ball last evening
was, indeed, no exception to the rule.
Messrs w. C. Morrison, A. w. Eppin-
ger, and Jack Newman, of the dane
ing committee, arranged the details
of the function and certainly nothing
was left undone that would in any
way add to the comfort and pleasure
of the seventy-tive couples who were
in attendance and danced to the
splendid music rendered by the
O'Connor orchestra, until early this
morning. At twelve thirty the happy
throng were served an elegant re-
past in the Elk dining room. The tab
les were beautifully decorated with
big boquets of pink and white carna-
tons and the abundance and excel
lence of the good things served was
subject to general comment. Dur
ing the evening the frappe stand pre-
sided over by Misses Isabelle McGil-
lis and Marguerite Gustavason, was
the center of attraction because Of
the delicious beverage offered and the
charm of the young ladies serving.

this ttime and in this manner, lay
bare before you the damnable con
spiracy to cause the people of South
Carolina to lose confidence in my hon
or and to tarnish the proud name of
the greatest commonwealth in the
land" said Governor Cole l.. Blease
In his statement, issued this after
noon, replying to the charges brought
against him by Thomas b. Fielder and
Detective W. j. Burns, before the dis
pensary Investigating committee in
Augusta.
The governor takes up the charges
one by one, disposing of them with
affidavits in several cases. His reply
covers forty-seven typewriter pages,
and the governor demands" that the
newspapers publish it in full else he
says he will charge that they were
leagued with Fielder and the investi-
eating committee.
He says that If they do publish his
reply in full, II shall have accomplish
ed one purpose, at least, and that is
to teach these editors one small lesson
in the ethics of journalism"
Says PrObers Exceeded Authority.
The governor first discussed the Act
creating the investigating committee
and charges that they have exceeded
their authority and power in probing
into the Charleston graft" charges
and in taking the testimony of Fielder
and Burns at Augusta. He dubs the
committees act as unlawful"
Taking up next what he terms Gel
der's motives" the reply charges that
Fielder is fugitive from justice and
knew of the governors information
that Fielder had been guilty of at
tempting to form conspiracy to cheat
and defraud the State. He refers to
F'elder's charges made against, him,
when he promised to write-a book. as
threats that were jokes"
He charges that Fielder having moth
Ing and being unable to find nothing
against him, hit upon the plan of
liam j. Burns and his associates, re-
ferring to them collectively as "plen-
ty of money and scnundrels."
"Body Guard" and "PaNbearers"
The governor says that if Fielder
was afraid to come into South Carolina
he would have appointed as his body
guard those brave men. III. B. Car
Isle, CIV. Sullivan, j. H. Clifton, F.
Nj. Carey and j. ]. Evans, and of this
gallant company / would have made

, Seaboard BilD as captain. / am sure
that these six men could have protect
ed their friend, Col, Fielder, and had
| they failed in their efforts and had he
been assassinated, it would have hap

pened that the PROPER number, of ahis
best friends were present to have be,
come pallbearers.,t g y ! s 4. ',e
He charged that the Fielder Scyowd
was afraid and the investigating com
mittee went to Augusta to 'get some
thing on him" and "put him in d
hole" He charges alsoi@that another
reason why Fielder would not come to
South Carolina was that he could be
prosecuted here for perjury and that
he KNEW inN Augusta, where the com
mittee was without authority, he could
not be so prosecuted.
Calls Fielder "Bribe Taker.,
He assailed Fielder as "a bribe taker
and perjurer." He charges that Eel
der had to have the assistance of scv.
en- other lawyers and of w. f. Steven
son before even a friendly committee
to 'help him bring out his malicious
and dirty fabrications."
He disposes of the charge that he
received part of F.. H. Dominick's fee
for calling off the election for Hey
ward County by stating that the elec-
tion was called by Governor Ansel
and that he decided against the side
represented by Fred Domihick. He
gives at witness 10 substantiate his
statements ID. 8. Henderson, Of Aiken
r. H. Welch, of Columbia; George T.
IL nd
Dominick, of Newberry.
Without affidavit he denied having
been in any legislative syndicate in
1900 and gives as references the mem
bers of the general assembly at that
time. He also denied ever having met
Fielder or having any dealings with
him in 1900, and said that he was not
even member of the State Senate
then.
Affidavit from "Hub" Evans.
He says that the charge that Mon
roe Bickert, in Atlanta, paid him and
H. H. Evans $4,000 is false, and that
he was never in Atlanta with II. H.
Evans as charged by Fielder. An affi-
dayit from Hub" Evans bearing out
this contention is submitted.
In vigorous fashion he denies the
charge that while a member of the
State Senate he represented Lanahan
& Co., and submits the testimony of
e. A. Smythe before a former investi-
eating committee, saying he was pres
ent during the conversation between
Lewis w. Parker and Lanahan and
that the latter did not say that Blease
represented him. An affidavit from the
late w. G. Childs, bearing out this
statement, is submitted, and one from
S. j. Lanahan denying that he had
told Parker that Blease was his rep
resentative.

submitted denying that he has any
knowledge Of the charge that Blease
was paid $3.50 for opposing the ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the prosecu-
tion of the grafters while in the Sem
ate, and says that the statement that
he made any such statement is false.
He also denies that he contris ueed
$500 to the Blease campaign fund two
years ago. The reply refers to denial
OF X. Charlton Wright that he once
paid Blease $500 for defeating some
legislation.
An affidavit is submitted from n.
M. Block, of Macon, Ga, denying that
he had made any statement about
Blease proposing to raise a $4,000

Mr.. Dominick also denies the charge
that between the first and second
campaign he went to Charleston and
got suit case full of money and when
that was out he went back and got an
other.

1t was further noticeable that ap-
