A LETTER fBOM GEO. MILES Relating To His Proposed Plan of Licensing Fishermen. (Continued from last week) Our revenue from the sale of hunting licenses has fallen off so far this year more than twenty-fiive per cent, owing to the scarcity of game caused by the severity of the weather last winter. Under ordinary weather conditions we produce many more quails each year than are killed by hunters. A year ago quails were extremely plentiful. But Jack Frost has no regard for bag limits, nor can any closed season, of whatever duration, be effective against him.” I believe, however, that quails should not be pursued after the snow fall, and recom-| mend that the open season for shooting them be shortened to thirty days, and be made to close December TO instead January 1 as at present. A few minor amendmets are desirable in the laws for the protection of our fish. In the main, however, those laws, the result of thirty years of evolution and experience, are good, and should not be disturbed. There is a handful of gentlemen who style themselves the Fish and Forest League, who desire that a new department be created to take over the hatching of fish. The success of their plan would greatly I lesson the burdens and resposibilities of my office, and if I were to consider only my personal interests I should approve it. But it would • be wasteful and would require an uriHSSesary appropriation from the State Treasury. There is no reason that two sets men should be employed to do ttt e ' work that can be done by one. Andv as I have shown herein, a sufficient j fund for the work we wish to do can easily be provided without taxir.g ' the people generally for it. Wisconsin and Michigan each has a plan ’ similar to the one proposed by these gentlemen, and each of these states is trying to get away from it. True, the hatching of fish should be under the supervision of a trained fish cul- ; turist, and it shall Bfe as soon as it ; has attained sufficient importance ; to warrant the employment of such ! a superintendent. ; Should you be in Indianapolis be- ; fore the meeting of the legislature I ’ would be pleased to have you call, ; that I may talk over with you more ; fully the matters I have referred to ; in this letter. In full confidence that the com- ; ing legislature will pass a goodly number of wise laws for the better goverment and the comfort and happiness of our people, I hope you will beleive me to be. Your very humble servent, Geo. W. Miles Commissioner. Operated On At Goshen. Mrs. E. E. Holloway was operated upon at a Goshen hospital, Sunday, for appendicitis. Gall stones were removed and a floating kidney fastened at the same time. Mrs. Holloway is doing nicely in spite of the ordeal and will probably be able ; to return to her home in a week or ten days. Her friends will be glad ; to know that she is out of danger, JFarmer Held Up. Bert Weybright Kving three miles 1 west of New Paris, was held up at ! 9:30 o’clock Saturday night by three ! unknown men near the New Paris I interurban station as he was driving ! home. They secured a small amont > of money, a watch and q- bunch of i keys. Weybright was not injured. I The trio stopped his horse and ! ordered him to deliver his valubles I which he did.

KMW ESGSPE ~ FGONJMW Alec Brower Skates Into Thin Ice And Goes Through. Little Alec Brower stepson of Milo Rookstool, narrowly escaped drowning while skating on Syracuse Lake Saturday evening. Tne boy skated into an air-hole near the middle of the lake, where the water attained a depth of 15 to 20 feet deep. His heavy clothes impeded his efforts to chmb out on the edge of the ice. Several people heard his call for help but were unable to tell in what direction the cries came from? John McClintic and Russel Hinderer, who were working on an ice-boat some distance away saw the boy struggling in the open water and cutting the rope from the sail, hurried to his assistance. The little fellow caught the rope thrown to him and was pulled to safety. . • He was unconscious when pulled on to the solid ice and in all probability would have gone to the bottom in a few more minutes. He was taken to the home of Emory Streiby and revived and sent to his home. United Brethren Revival. The revival meeting will begin next Sunday evening at the United Brethren church and will continue until the 26th of the month. Many people cannot see the necessity of having an annual revival in the church, but a moment of consideration will convince intelligent men and women that revivals of religion are in perfect harmony with the divine conduct of this world. God works by means of • chemistry of nature is carried forward on that plan. There is life in root and trunk and branch and the hillside springs forth with a itew green, the forests are clothed with a fresh baptism of hopefulness and courage, and the old oak gvarled and twisted with the storms of five hundred winters, renews its youth. Every springtime is God’s revival by which He keeps the dd earth voung and prosperous, happy and progressive. Men grow in their /intellectual and moral Hves because they receive every now ana then, fresh impulses which inspi/e them to still greater exertion. 'There is not a man or woman bu/ who can remember times when/ they had fallen into a rut, and life seemed monotonous and commonplace, and had lost its zest aijti appetite; when, from within or wVhout, there came some experience, peasant or bitter, which stirred their nature to its profoundest dejVhs, and life became new, fresh ?nd vital. Every thoughtful mat and woman can go back over the? lives and count the great when these new impulses cape to them. These fats prove to us that a revival of cfeligion is not something unatural a/d They prove to us also/that it isjadd’s order that every no* and then the religious life which has working its way in our hearts, and which has been plowing and sowing, growing and yielding harvest, should have a renewal, a springtime revival, of its enthusiastic gladness, that will fit it for still greater results. The religious life which has no such experience as this certainly fails in the highest enjoyment of the Christian religion.* We trust that the religious workers of Syracuse will lay aside their denominational prejudice and unite with us in spreading the revival spirit not only into all the churches but throughout the town itself. Ido not say that everybody must be members of the United Brethren church but all Christians must be and are united in love and good works, and being children of one common father we are all brethren, and we are all united in Christ who is over and above all.

Horse And Buggy Stolen. A horse and bu;*gy valued at about S2OO and belonging to John Beader of near Syracuse was stolen from a hitching post in Milford Saturday night. It was recovered Sunday morning in the barnyard on the farm of Mrs. Wolfe, located in Concord township west of Dunlaps. Deputy Sheriff Thomas went there yesterday, procured the stolen property and returned it to Mr. Bender. Several theories are advanced how the outfit was taken from Milford to the point where Mrs Wolfe found it but no arrests have been made.— Goshen Democrat. John N. Juday and granddaughter, Eva Mae, went to Elkhart Friday. Mr. Juday returned home Saturday the granddaughter staying for a longer visit with Mr. and Mrs. Logan Juday.
