A Kansa- Snake Story.

SYRACUSE, KAN, January 23-A very start
ling incident occurred at the house of Mr..
James, just south of town, Saturday. Upon
going from the kitchen to the woodshed
Mrs. James discovered her 5-year-old boy
stirring around in basket of old clothes
which had been placed in a corn
ner to be out of the way. Upon the
child looking up and hastily leaving, Mrs.
James concluded to see what he was about
and to her horror discovered nest of rattle
snakes, six young ones and an old one with
eight rattles. A scream brought Mr.. James
to the scene and he hastily disposed of all of
them. Questioning the child it was learned
that he had been nursing them for some time
and had made them nice warm bed in
the basket. He could handle them as he
saw fit and the old snake never objected in
the least. Mrs. James came very near being
bitten by the large RATHER and the shock to
her system was such that she is still confined
to her bed. The boy has been taking Gaze
of the reptiles since warm weather.

National Tobacco Association.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 1s.-The
National Tobacco association of the United
States met here in convention to-day. The
following was adopted:
Resolred, That the National Tobacco asso-
citation having met in conference and find
ing the views of congress and probable ac-
ton on the tobacco tax question, are unde-
veloped and uncertain; therefore, we believe
it advisable that the conference at the pres
emit fine take no action thereon.
Ii the course of an interview this after
noon prominent member of the associa-
ton said to an associated press reporter that
while some of the members are in favor of q
total abolition of the tobacco tax lit could
safely be said that large majority are in
favor of nominal tax, say about 2 cents,
for the purpose Of protecting the trade and
the public from impositions. It was also
said that if the manufacturers succeeded in
obtaining reduction of the tax to a nom
inal amount very large majority will favor
the removal of all restrictions. in regard to
the sale of leaf tobacco.

of 813 acres of coal lands adjoining the city
limits of Leavenworth on the south was con-
summated to-day, the purchasing psrties
being q syndicate composed of Vinton
Skillings and others, of Leavenworth.
These gentlemen have organized company
and will proceed to sink shafts and develop
the coal fields. The price paid for the land
was 100000. The land was owned by
Kansas City syndicate, headed by J. A.
Troost. These gentlemen purchased 1,600
acres just south of the Leavenworth city

neat sum on their investment already. The
sale was made through Whiteside & Jarvis.

THE READING STRIKE.

No Coal Yet-An Effort to starve the Strik-
ers Out by Refusing Credit.
READING, Pa, January 23.-The present.
Schuylkil miners strike is peculiarly disas-
trous to the new hands who were employed
on the railroad. After the railroaders who
struck and refused to come back had been
permanently discharged, these new hands
we're mostly given jobs in the coal traffic,
and now nearly every one of them
have been laid off because there
is nothing for them to do. Of the 1000 men
employed in hauling coal fully 1,5OO were
new hands, only about 500 old employees
coming back, and all are now out of work.
President Corbin's letter has not changed
the situation in this section. There is no
coal coming from the Schuylkill region and
the officials in the city do not expect any
for tho present. They are now concen-
trating all their efforts in bringing in all
the Wyoming coal they can. They think
that the business men of Schulykill county
have the power in their own hands to put q
stop to the strike soon. by refusing to sell to
miners on credit. The New York and Phil
adelphia merchants who ship goods to bust
meas mon in the coal region town have noti-
fed their customers in Schuylkill county
that they will expect cash payments from
them for the present.

lating to banking was discussed and reso-
luton adopted favoring revision and codi-
ication of the national banking laws, also q
a resolution advocating the present per
cent debt of the United States at low rate
of interest to be redeemable in annual in
stallments from 1891 to 1921 with view to
the use of the new loan as security for the
circulating mates of national banks. Also q

A Faithless Partner.

NEW YORK, January 20.-Horace Webster,
of the wholesale liquor firm of Horace
Webster & Co., was arrested to-day, on a
suit brought by W. 81. Thomas & Son, of
Louisville, Ky., for the recovery of $1,000,
Webster d Co., as security for note, but
disposed by them. Bail was given by the
prisoner. Mr.. Webster knew nothing of
the details of the business of the firm, hav-
ing been in California for some time and
trusted implicitly IN his partner,
Charles w. Lawrence. His first intima-
ton that his trust was not well
placed came with the news that Lawrence
had made an assignment in the name of the
firm and had fed with $25, 600 of the firms
assets. He is now supposed to be in Paris,
France. Mr.. Webster is held responsible
for his partners action.

Brutality by spanish Authorities.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 2O.-The
statement cabled from Madrid that the
United States government has demanded Of
Spain heavy damages on account of the
alleged i'll treatment of DR.. Nadal by the
authorities of Porto Rico, is not
strictly correct. The department
of state has taken the diplomatic
course usually adopted in such cases and
has instructed our minister to Spain to lay
DR.. Nadals claim before the government
with q representation that if the allegations
contained therein are found to be
true he is entitled to compensation.
DR.. Nadal is naturalized citizen
of the United States who formerly lived in
Porto Rico. He alleges that he was arrest
ed on an unfounded suspicion of belonging
to q society of autonomists or home rulers
and that in order to extract information
from him if possible the governor of Porto
Rico caused his arms to be pinioned behind
him in an extremely painful position for
twenty-four hours. As result of this
sruelty Dr. Nadal says one of his arms is
now paralyzed.

REGULAR Grounds For q Divorce.

SAN FRANCISCO, January ia Fresno,
CAL, special gives the details of singular
divorce suit just brought in that place. Mrs.
Lulu Schloh has begun proceedings against
her husband, Bernard Schloh. Tho
cause of complaint is that Schloh
had been married before, and
Bernard at all times informed Lulu of tho
goodness and kindness of his former wife.
Bernard said his former wife's biscuits were
delicious and her other good messes were
superior to Lulu's best endeavors. Lulu
asked of the court that, on the grounds of
cruelty and failure to provide the neces-
saries of life, she be divorced. The parties
are both residents of San Francisco, and of
Jewish extraction.
