PULL OF MYSTERY.
A Man's Skull Split "While Two Bedmates
Still Sleep.
Leavenworth. Kan.. August 2. The
little mining town of Brighton, five and
one-half miles southwest of here, was the
fcene of a mysterious murder. L'ncle Jim
Yslam. a well-to-do colored man, was
found last night by his nephew, Paul Bet
ter, and a neighbor, dead in bed, his two
children .sleeping peacefully on each side
of him. In the middle of Yslam's fore
head slanting toward the right eye was a
fearful hole from the sharp edge of an axe
which had sunk deep into his skull, nearly
cleaving the head ia twain. There were no
signs of a htruggle and tied up by a
string a roll of bills amounting to &300
was found in a pocket of his trousers,
which were lying apparently undisturbed
on a chair near the bed. Young Iletter
has been arrested on suspicion. This
morning the blood stained axe was found.
Yslam had had some trouble with his
wife's father.

PREPARING FOR KEMMLER'S EXECU
TION. Auburn, X. Y., August 2. Recent de
velopments have more than confirmed the
truth of the statement that Kennnler, the
condemned murderer, is weakening daily.
The utter abandonment of all hope and
the consequent realization of his utterly
lost condition never came to him with such
terrible force as last night. All night long
the vision of his impending fate rose before
his sleepless eyes, and as he tos&cd and
tumbled on his narrow cot, he cried aloud
in despair, "I wish it were over."
lie moaned time and again and his
utter loss of nil power to control his fears
were pitiful to behold. The cause of this
sudden and uncontrollable despair was the
noihe of the preparation in the adjacent
room of the executioner, which the pris
oner could not help hearing, through the
doorway which connects his cell with the
chamber of death. In the latter room men
weie making a test of the death dealing
apparatus before launching the fatal cur
rent through the body of Kennnler. In
the next room were "Warden Dunstan,
Klectriciau Barnes, of Rochester, and a
few others who had been invited to wit
ness the test. C. F. Barnes, who has been
employed to take charge of the electrical
apparatus, and who will probably pull
the fatal switch, arrived on the
H:0." Central train yesterday and returned
to Rochester in the evening. His stay in
town was made as secret as possible, and
there was an evident fear at the prion
that his visit would bo found out by the
reporters. Durinc the brief time in the
city ho did a great deal of work. The belt
on the engine in the north wing was taken
off the pulley connecting with the
machinery and connected with the "West
inghoue dynamo. Shortly after " o'clock
the steam was turned on. anil a thorough
inspection was made of every belt and
pulley. Then the room of execution was
vibited, and later a thorough trial was
made of the apparatus which controls the
fearful current. Everything was found to
be in working order.

r-ADDLE WHEEL FISHING.
The Contrivance Ct?od to Catch Salmon
-"on "tho Colnmbia.
There are more ways of4 killing a cat
than by choking it to death with melted
butter, and there are many more ways of
catching fish than by lines and books or
nets. One of the most novel of these is by
means of a paddlo wheel, and it is largely
employed by the salmon fishers of the Co
lumbia river. The' wheels thus used are
very similar in sppo&rance and construc
tion to those cf stsrn "wheel river steatssrs.
ana tney are tne cneapesx anu mosc er
fective methods yet devised for catching
their finny prey.
Tho wheel shown in the illustrations
consists of nine arms attached to an iron
shaft, and these arms are strongly net
ted in groups of threes at their outmost
ends. The shaft is surrounded by a cone
of wood, whose face or widest part is on
the port side. The narrow part of the cone,
or its apex, ia at the end of a woo&en
trough. The wheel is pivoted on a gal
lows frame, and can be raised or lowered
out of or into the water et will bymoans
of blocks and tackle. The one here illus
trated is attached to a scow, and or course
13 portable. Not all of them are so. Some
of them are attached to piling built out
into tho river.
The paddlewheel method of fishing can
only be employed in the rapids of the
river, and it ia about the only method used
in the region of the Dalles, above Port
land. When in use the wheel is sub
merged about one-third of its diameter,
and is slowly revolved by the action of the
water. The salmon seek tho headwaters
of the Columbia and its tributaries from
the latter end of March until about the
middle of June in great numbers. They
encounter the wheels in swimming up
stream, and are by them lifted out of tho
water, thrown against these cones and
thence slide into tha troughs, down which
they glido into the receptacles prepared
for them. In tho height of a good season
a well located wheal will frequently catch
from six V fifteen tons ef 6almon in twenty
four hours, It does seom rather a big
thing to catch fish whose individual weight
ranges from twenty to forty pounds by the
ton, but that is the way it is done on the
Columbia, and the salmon there caught
are tho best and finest flavored in the
world.
Fully 10,000 men are employed in the
salmon catching and canning trade on the
Columbia river. Last year the pack
amounted to over half a million cases, bnt
this year, owing to an unfortunate differ
ence of opinion between the packers and
tho fishermen as to the price of fish, a
strike ensued and nearly half the season
was lost. The catch and pack was conse
quently much lighter than usual, and the
demand for salmon will have to be satisfied
with fish caught and packed in Alaskan
waters.
The method of "canning' salmon is
simple, but interesting. When sold and
taken to tho cannery the fish are thoroughly
washed and cleansed, and then cut into
BOAT WITII WHEEL ATTACHMENT,
pieces, each about big enough for a can.
These pieces are put into cans, which then
havo their lids soldered on to them. Tho
cans are then put into large iron retorts oi
boilers, which, after being closed tight,
have steam let into them at a pressure of
ton pounds to the square inch. The cans
are kept in the boilers until tho fish in
them is cooked. Then they are taken out,
wiped clean and permitted to cool. Then
they are labeled and packed in cases and
are ready for shipment.
It often happens that a can is not suffi
ciently cooked. This is ascertained by the
inspectors, who punch a small hole in each
can to let the steam escape. All the cans
are thus punched and tho holes aro sol
dered up again. Those which are insuffi
ciently cooked are put back into tho boilers
again, and are again tested after their
second withdrawal therefrom. So expert
havo tho canners becomo that very few
cans are spoiled in cooking, either by being
over or under done.
Astoria, near the mouth of the Columbia
river, is tho chief salmon fishing city in the
world. It has twenty-nine salmon can
neries, employing over 5,000 men, and the
value of their product is nearly 14,000,000 a
year.
Tho salmon of the Pacific coast, unlike
his brother of the Atlantic coast, cannot bo
caught by rod and line, as he most posi
tively refuses to notice tho most tempting
lures that the most scientific dbciples of
Izaak Walton have designed for his palate.
Ho is strictly business, and declines most
peremptorily to become sport for any man.

exhibited a "flashlight plate" to the as

tho superintendent had captured him not

"resignation" was accepted.
