Queer Capture of a RattIesnake.

While at a nelghbOr's few days
ago, Mr.. Geo. w. Fisher, of indie.
pendence, Kansas, heard a racket
out in the kitchen, and going ont
to investigate the cause, found that
a large rattIesnake had crawled
into the kitchen and was fastened
in the handle of a Jug in the fol.
lowing manner: There were some
eggs and a jug on the floor when
the snake crawled into the house,
and 1t swallowed one of the eggs,
and as the jug was lying on its
side, had crawled through the
handle as fare as the egg he had
swallowed would admit, and
finding another egg convenient as
he crawled through the handle of
the Jug, swallowed that egg also,
and as the egg was too large to pass
through the handle of the jug, Mr..
Snake was fastened so he could
neither move forward nor back
ward, there being an egg inside of
him on either side of the jug handle.

of the Jefferson county Jail. He
is a colOrd man, and was convicted
with another colored man, Albert
Turner, for assaulting and fatally
beating Miss Jennie Bowman, on
April %, 1887. Miss Bowman was

The family were all absent from
the house at the time, and no one
witnessed the murder. Turner and
Patterson were arrested on sus.
picion, and Turner immediately
confessed. Patterson protested his
innocence. Turner pleaded guilty,
but on the scallold said Patterson
was innocent. He was hung on
July |, 1891. Patterson was tried,
convicted, but appealed his case,
aud the lower court was sustained.
The Governor respited him three
times, but refused to interfere
further. Patterson protested his
innocence on the scailold, lie was

II the Democrats expect to hide
the record of their party under the
folds of a five cent baudanna, they
will be much mistaken. The in
telligent voters of the country are
looking for something more serious
and practical in the result Of the
election next November. 1t will
not be a repetition of the hard
cider and coon skin campaign OF
1910, but a serious discussion of
the questions which come directly
home to the people and touch their
every interest. Halt a century has
changed conditions and impressed
the average voter with the dignity
and responsibility of the elective
franchise, and it will not be exer-
cised this fall as a school boy in
diligence in the sports and excite
ments OF the vacation hour. The
questions at issue and the interests
involved are grave matters, which
will be gravely considered and de-
liberately acted upon. The ban

"Protection means restricting the

consequence OF such restriction is
that wages remain at a high level

HARRISON'S CHINESE RECORD

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Mitchell, of Oregon, one of the
most pronounced promoters ofanti-

familiar with it needs no apology.

Mitchell, Tin the newspapers of

record on the subject OF Chinese
immigration was acceptable to the
people of the Pacific slope, and it

careful examination of the record,
and to make inquiry of senators

of his term, when ] was not mem

he gave me the grounds on which
he objected to the proposed leglsla-

were in direct conflict with existing
treaties. He held that before we
passed statutory laws we ought to
abolish the existing treaties, 30 as

two years ago introduced a joint

the abrogation Of every treaty with

my intention was to introduce a
general Chinese immigration bill
which would take the form of stat

Harrison opposed was passed by
both houses and was vetoed by
President Arthur. During one of
my talks with Senator Harrison he
said 'As a lawyer / could not

existing treaties, and which | knew
could not stand even the test they
