Above are extracts from the. gen¬
eral fish law, and do not include the
laws regulating oyster fishing, not
the catching of terrapin its stated.
Neither are they the law in full, but
the substance of what is prohibited
in each paragraph relative to fishing.
The fisherman with hook and line
has practically a clear field, and the
restrictions around him are very few,
and he can feel fairly safe from be¬
ing arrested by a game warden when
he starts out on a fishing trip.—Dub¬

HIGH COST OF LIVING IS
SAILING AMONG THE STARS
Bad Crops in Russia and France Are
Said to Have Had Much to Do
With Advance in Prices.
Food prices are higher than they
were last year, in seme instances,
and some of them have broken all
time-of-piece records. Coffee is higher
than it has been in twenty years.
Other staples show marked advances.
Coffee is two and a half cents high¬
er than last year's prices, for practi¬
cally all grades, and is seven and a
half cents higher than during 1510.
Corn has smashed all records since
the war, now being quoted at $1.20
cents a bushel. Meal is 50 cents
over its 1911 quotations.
Short crops are said o be the
cause of the great advances.
Sugar continues its advances, al¬
though more slowly than was the
case some time ago. Flour is quoted
at from 80 to 50 cents a barrell more
than during 1911. Bran and shorts
have advanced 25 cents per 100 lbs.
Meat is advanceing, this commodity
being influenced to a great extent by
grain and kindred produce prices.
Dry salt meat is two cents a pound
higher than last year. Leaf lard is
two cents up, but compound lard has
not changed.
Oats have advanced 75 cents a
bushel. Hay costs $12 a ton more
than it did a year ago, and is bring¬
ing $32 a ton. Cheese is seven cents
more costly than last year.
Bad crop years in France and Rus¬
sia had had no little to do with the
change in prices. In many sections
of America crops have failed or have
been so short they have exhausted to
the soaring figures.
Dealers say that but few of these
commodities are subjec* to the influ¬
ence the public attributes to trusts.
In the case of coffee, like cotton, the
staple is utterly at the mercy of arti¬
ficial control. This is true to a great
extent about meat.
LONG LOST MAN FOUND IN JAIL.
Was Forgotten by Busy Officers,Who
Arrested Him for Stealing.
Lost to the world Henry Mulson
was found in jail by the Marion
ty, Indiana, grand jury and set free.
Forgotten by his acquaintances and
overlooked by busy officers he had
been behind the bars for 104
without a chance to defend
against the charge of having stolen
sack of potatoes.

GREWSOME STORY OF NEGRO
DEATH-WATCH NEAR ATHENS. 1
One of the most unusual as well
as one of the most grweseme stories
of a death-watch was told to a Ban¬
ner representative recently by a well
known business man who heard the
narrative from the old colored wom¬
an who cooks for his family. The
story could not be confirmed in all
its details but this is about the way
the old colored woman repeated it:
Near the city only a few nights
ago there were gathered at a coun- j
try negro house a party who were
asked to sit up with the corpse of
an elderly colored man—his death oc¬
curred from natural causes on the
morning before. A number of young
negro men were in the party and sev¬
eral women, two of the women hav¬
ing sma” babies in arms. The en¬
tire party grew tired and sleepy as
the morning wore on and the babies
were wrapped up and bundled up and
laid on the floor to sleep. The mo- ,
thers slept in heir chairs. The men
lifted off the coffin, raised the body !
of the dead man to nearly a sitting j
posture, placed a roasted sweet po- !
tato in one hand which they propped j
up in a position to make it look like
the dead man was about to bite the
potato. The youth then tiptoed out
of the room and locked the doors.
The women awoke and saw the hor¬
rifying sight; they became hysteri¬
cal; they tried to escape by the door
and it wals locked; they screamed
and beat the door and windows and
were frenzied with fright.
Finally they broke down the door
and got out, after tbe two babies on
the floor had been trampled nearly to
death. One of the babies, it is said,
died since of the injuries sustained.—

If its First Class Job Printing you
want, we do iL
crossing a neighbor’s potato lot, was
stopped by two men who charged
him with having stolen a sack of po¬
tatoes. Thye took him before a jus¬
tice of the peace at Broad Ripple.
A firm believer in judicial dispatch
-the squire summarily bound Mulson
over to the grand jury on a charge
of grand larceny, which placed a val¬
ue of at least $25 on the sack of po¬
tatoes.
Mulson said he had never seen the
potatoes, but he was taken to the jail
at Indianapolis and the squire did
not advise the county prosecutor.
Mulsor enlisted the kindly offices
of a turnkey, who brought his case
to the attention of the grand jury.

New Livery Stable
I have opened a first class livery stable
in the stand formerly occupied by Wood
Aiken. All buggies are new and horses
are fresh from the city stock yards. My
drivers know the roads and are polite.
Prices are reasonable. Give me a trial the next time you
want a neat turnout for a pleasant ride. We can carry you
almost as quick as an automobile and the price is much less.
