FOR FISH PROTECTION.

Man Who Want* a J.nw Wliicli Will Proteet 1'liis an Well as Winjjs I'mm Ruthless S|ioi'l»im'ii,

Hon. J. B. Kenner of Huntington, writes as follows on the fish question and will meet the views of many on this question. He says: "It is a curious freak of the laws of Indiana, that if one takes a robin from her nest and destroys her eggs, he will be fined, but if a fish pirate takes a mother bass from her nest in May or June, and thereby destroys from 10,000 to 20,000 spawn, such action is strictly legal. "We have in Indiana 30,000 miles of short line of splendid lakes and rivers, where the finest fish could be raised, if protected by proper legislation, our waters would teem with fish' as it is said they do in JaDau, under their splendid protection, viz., so as to frequently 'crowd each other." "Is there any reason why there should be a closed season for quail pheasants, ducks and squirrels, and not for fish? Every year millions of spawn and fry are destroyed by the taking of the mother fish from her bed by fish pirates in May and June. No tish should be permitted to be taken during spawning season. It is much more important that a spawning fish be protected than a quail, for the quail furnishes but a 6mall amount of food for the people annually to what fish does. In the Eastern States and indeed in many of our sister States, fish interests are carefully guarded by legislation but Indiana is half a century behind. When a member of the legislature seeks to procure protection to fish he is charged with working against the poor man and in the interest of the silk stocking fisherman. Nothing could be further from the truth. If protection for fish could be had in Indiana there would be enough for all and to spare, but as it is now by the destructive methods of taking fish during spawning seasons, by fishing through holes in the ice in the winter, while the fish are dormant, our excellent waters all'ord an inadequate swpply. Let the coming legislature look to this. Let it apprbpriate a sum of money in order that the lish commissioner can do something substantial. Michigan, our sister State, appropriates annually $10,000 for fish interests, and Indiana only $800. Such a paltry sum considering our great waters, is an indication of a want of knowledge our resources in that respect."

MANUFACTURED DIAMONDS.

Diamonds will soon be as common as any other of the jeweler's stock in trade, and the diamonds will be as genuine as those produced by the famous fields of Africa, too. The man who is bring this change about is a Washington scientist, and he will be aided in his work by the powerful Niagara. Dr. 15. J. Johnstone, the coming diamond maker, will use pure carbon as found in the coal mines about the country, and with this carbon and the immense power of electricity which the electrical companies stationed at the Falls are now furnishing, he will so crystali/.e the first that he can turn out within a few days a stone that nature could not form in a million of years. The diamonds which will come from this laboratory will be of any size, from the size of a pea to that of the g-eat Kohinoor, the most famous gem of the world. It is stated that some of the output of this real diamond factory will be on sale in this city as soon as in New York. We live in a great age, just think of robbing the diamond of that priceless wealth which has always accompanied it since the world began.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Tlie Ittminess Grind Bills Introdu -el —The Senate Passes the Itill I oi bidding Quail Shooting Qui-''

I'or Two Years.

Special to The Journal. lNMA.NArOLis, Ind.,—Representative ICratz introduced a bill to-day providing for an institution for the deaf and dumb at Evansville. Cost 810,000 for the building and 830,000 for maintenance for the first year.

Representative Mann seeks to compel local and long distance telephone companies to co-operate. His bill de signed to settle controversies in many towns.

Many fee and salary bills were introduced. The most of them are local and are designed to secure incieased pay for designated county officers.

Senator Wood, however, is preparing a bill repealing the present law and restoring the old fee system.

Several Senators spoke eloquently on the bill ureventing the shooting of quails for two years.

The Lieutenant Governor tried to shut off the speeches but the Senate wonld not have it. The pot hunter found many an advocate. The ques" tion as to whether quail were insectiverous, was sprung and consumed most of the forenoon session. The bill finally passed 36 to 13. The Senate also passed a bill providing a penalty for persons who encourage boys to escape from the Plainfield Reform School.

Special to the Journal. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 20—The constitutional formality required in electing United States Senator was complied with at noon to-day in a joint meeting of the two houses of the Legislature. The Senate went in a body to the House. Lieutenant-Governor Haggard presided and read from the minutes of the proceedings of each House yesterday the vote cast for Senator. The total showed, 85 for Charles W. Fairbanks: for Daniel XV. Voorhees, and six for Leroy Templeton. There was a majority for Fairbanks in each House, making it unnecessary to take a joint ballot. He was formally counted in as Senator to succeed Voorhees and was sent for. He spoke brietiy.

Special to the Journal. AMITK CITV, La., Jan. 'JO.—John Johnson, who, with Arch Joiner, murdered the Cotton family, was burned at the stake by a wild mob this morning. Joiner and Gus Williams were hanged and mutilated. Williams raur dered his wife. All the victims were colored men.

Will Shoot to Kilt Iforcat'tiT. The man who tackles aa expressman or baggageman on the Monoii in the future will be in trouble. The companies have sent all such employees a letter instructing the men to shoot to kill in each and every case where robbery is clearly the intent of anyone who interferes with the running of a train, and a cash reward of' SFLOO is held out for each robber shot but not killed, and §1,000 for a Jesse James emulator who is made to bite the dust. A general changing of shooting irons has been going on for some time. The most improved pattern of repeating ritles and riot guns have taken the place of arms of less deadly and rapid execution.

.Nf\v«ra«r«'aul Typhoid l-Yvrr. Dr. Taylor is pleased to learn that sauitarj' sewerage is to be constructed in Crawfordsville. He says that the regular annual epidemic of typhoid fever is distinctly traceable to water contamination from the privy vaults and cesspools with which the town is boney combed. He is of the opinion that an ordiuance should be passed and enforced requiring property owners to clean thoroughly and disinfect twice a year all privy vaults and cesspools. He decidedly approves of the system as laid out for Crawfordsville, and says the sanitary authorities are all agreed that sanitary sewerage should be separate from storm sewerage.

BILL'S IN JAIL.

Hm. II. MeCoiiirtJ*, a llrokcti I)uwu Politician of Waynetown, Jets Himself Into a Very Serious Trouble.

Officer Bannister drove down to Waynetown last Tuesday and arrested Wm. B. McComas on the charge of forgery. McComas was brought here and landed in jail where lie still repineth.

The arrest was made on complaint of Arthur Jordon & Company's Crawfordsville agent, Robert Manning, who charges that McComas had signed his name and that of the Jordon company to checks without any authority whatever. Mr. Manning stated that the offense had been a repeated one by McComas but the one upon which the arrest was made was on the Waynetown bank in favor of T. E. Edwards for 812.71. It seems that McComas went around buying cliichens and paid for them with these bogus[checks. The check in question was signed in the name of Arthur Jordon Co. per. Robert Manning. McComas never deliv* ered the chickens and has never been authorized to act as «he did. Unless he can give a very satisfactory explanation he will doubtless be sent up to serve the State.

McComas is well known all over the county. A few years ago he was nominated by the Democrats for Sheriff and made a race which he conducted in a manner which reflected anything but credit upon himself and which resulted in a decisive defeat.

The pool ror.m is occupied every nightiin the week by young men, mostly single, yet some are married and have, nice wives at. home. The games go on in time of church services just as though there was no meeting going on. Now. if they will run the pool games they should have enough respect for the Christian part of the community to lock up during worship.

Rev. .1. B. Stanley the gospel teuierance revivalist stopped off here last Wednesday morning on his way to Yountsville where he commenced a temperance work on that night., lie put in a .Junior I. O.

The Pleasant Ilill scribe made remarks in his last week's letter to the .foi'KNAi. about the way the history of old Ebene/.er church was written up. All we have to say is that if he thinks he can do any better let him come to the front. We know as much or more about it than he does, and gave nothing but facts. 1 he wants to try hie hand let him write a history of the log meeting house that once stood on the bank of Turkey Run and tell how old it was when pulled down, also the names of a few members of that church and what preacher dedicated it. Come, A. J. R., we are as old as you and have lived in Montgomery county almost as long as you have.

All but Indiana have put forth extra efforts to prevent typhoid and diphtheria. No extra efforts have been made in any of the states to stop consumption or scarlet fever.

Secretary Hurty calls special attention to the great unnecessary loss in Indiana from typhoid fever. This loss costs the state, he says, at least

£2,000,-

000 annually. He urges that a properly constituted, properly empowered and properly supported board of.liealth could prevent this waste.
