The death Of James Kelley in New
York City few days ago, from the bite
OF q prairie rattlesnake, has called at
tention TO the fact that whisky Is not an
infallible antidote for snake bites.
Kelley was professional snake hand
Ter, and had followed the business for
twenty five years. He was bitten on the
thumb by sixteen year old RATHER that
he was exhibiting, and Immediately ex-
claimed that il was certain death. He
put the snake back into It's box, went
into saloon close by and drank enough
whisky TO kill two or three men. When
the doctors came they gave him still
more, but he gradually sank into stu
por, from which nothing could rouse
him, until death ensued. The medical
fraternity are much astonished as well
~ interested at the failure of what has
heretofore been considered a practical
cure for snake bite IL taken immediate
ly. This failure will not, however, pre-
vent fishermen and hunters from carry
ing with them plenty of the "antidote"
when on their excursions. II may not
be infallible for snake bites, but il con
sidsred quite Indispensable. nsverthe-
less. Even in this region. where pois-
onous snakes are unknown. an equip
ment Is ordinarily considered moon
plete unless supply OF "cure for snake
bites" il TO be found.

Two FIREs.-Some boys came rust ing
down to the engine house Yesterday af-
ternooD, and stated that Mr.. McCann's
house on Third street was on fire, and
asked that tue alarm be sounded. Be
fore complying with the boys request,
several firemen who chanced to be sit
ting in front of the engine house at the
time ran mp to the building designated
by the lads, and found that the moss on
the roof had taken fire from q spark,
and that hole had been burned through
the shingles large enough for a man to
crawl through. The flames had not
fairly got under way and few buckets
of water properly applied put stop to
further damage. Shortly after this
cry of 'drer' was heard coming from
another direction, and the alarm WAS
sounded. The cause proved to be the
burning of pile of brush on the corner
of Seventh and Washington streets, I'M
comfortably near the residence If w. f.
Aliens family. But for timely aid the
building would certainly have taken
FIRE. As il was the side of the house vas
pretty badly scorched. Too much pre-
caution against fire cannot be exercised
these dry times.

The YouSG MES's INDEPENDENT Pc.
LrrIcAL CLuB.-DurinR the last mum
eipal election the young men of our
city took more of an active part than they
had ever done before. They formed
clubs which did very effective work.
There il nothing more inspiring to the
youth Of America than their first en-
trance into the political arena. Their
influence is being recognized, and it is
a noticeable fact that in nearly every
political club of Young men the avowed
principle is good government and the
best officials" Yesterday there was
published the constitution and by laws
of the Young Mems lndep' ndent Poll
teal Club of Seattle. Tue object OF
this society il good government. and its
membership consists Of the leading
young men of the CITY. They will form
permanent and lasting organization
and by watchfulness and energy will be
enabled to exert good influence on
local government and thereby accom-
| plish one of their chief ends. They
will, no doubt, meet with encourage
ment i'll all of their ind 'rtakings.

working up a considerable business in
Fort Scott, Kansas, was one day APP
preached by tough looking customer
who wanted to take uot 5000 policy
He inquired about the cost and other
particulars, and finally remarked:
"Woll, stranger, when you kin put
the figures down about onc-half, you
kin send fur me-"
ooh! | couldn't do that"
"Mebbc not, but them's my terms"
When the man had departed the
agent went out to inquire who he was,
and a citizen replied:
"Why, that's Bill Callahan. What
did he want?"
"Wanted some insurance at half
rates."
"Give it to him"
an see him hanged first! Why
should | make reduction to him"
because, you've got insurance on
at. least twenty of us here, and if you
don't come to Bills figures he'll kill &
full dozen of us before the year is out
Better consult the interests of the com
pany and make reduction"
