CATCHING A PYTHON.
How Ris Snake was DfslodEed from II,
Rocky Retreat. -

Rocky Retreat.
1t was during the cold weather, when
snakes are partially or wholly torpid,
that this adventure happened, saws
Chambers Journal. Had it been in hot
weather, when snakes are lively, the
story might have had ! different end
ing.
General Macintyre and his party went
one day to examine hole or creyice
Under rock, where it was SUSPECTED q
python lay hidden, and sure enough it
was there, for they could see bit of
the ta1l-end protruding from the hole.
Ihey let 1T alone at first, thinking that
"hen the sun shone it might come forth
10 bask in its warmth. In this, how
ever, they were disappointed, for on the
IolloWlng day the snake was not to be
seen. But on closer examination the
tail was found sticking out as before.
Various efforts were made to dislodge it.
"A fire was lit in front and the smoke
famed inward, but this had no effect.
The earth was even scraped away and
the hole widened, when they could sec
the coils of the monster as thick as 4
mans thigh; but except that their oper-
atlons were occasionally interrupted by
the startling presence of the creatures
head, which it occasionally poked to-
ward the entrance, darting out it's lit
tie forked tongue, it gave small signs
OF animation. They had even de-
termined to try to draw it. We all
three, therefore, proceeded-somewhat
nervously, must own-to Law
hold of its tail. To this familiarity it
showed its objection by decided in
clination to wag its caudal extremity,
which had such an electrical effect on
our nerves that we dropped it like a hot
potato, aRd-what shall I call it?-re-
tired. A shot would in all probability
have induced the snake to quit its re-
fuge, but then the shot must have torn
and disfgured its beautiful skin, which
the General wished to secure uniniured
as specimen. In the meantime more
efficient tools for digging had been sent
for, and these now arrived, borne upon
an elephant.
A bright idea now struck the party
they might draw the snake out with the
elephant Sufficient rope for the pur-
pose was loosened from the elephants
pad, and this rope, about the thickness
of mans thumb, was hitched around
the python's tail, its remaining length
brought up again to the pad and fast
ened there, thus doubling its strength.
Now came the tug-of-war! A sudden
jerk might have torn the skin; the
mahout was therefore warned to put on
the strain gradually Little did we
know what a tough and obstinate GUS
toner we had to deal with. Tighter
and tighter grew the ropes, when
''crack" went one of them Still the
strein was increased, when ,sscrack"-
the other had snapped also, leaving the
snake in statu quo.
The snake was finally dislodged by
counter mining and killed with charge
of buclshot. When measured it was
found to be twenty-one feet in length
and about two feet in girth.

John Monaghan, the treasurer OF the
July Fourth committee, has made his re-
port In regard to the receipts and expen.
ses of the celebration on July Fourth

The receipts were from the following
sources: From contributions, $73S.50 ;

IL to the Caledonian society to help erect
a public gymnasium.
The question Of deciding what is to be
done with the money Is left to those per-
sons who made the donations to the fund,
and they are requested to write their
preference on a postal card and mail the
same to John Monaghan. The method
desired by a majority Of the fund SUBJ
scribers will be adopted.
1t Is very seldom that there Is bal
ance left over in such affairs, and the fin
ancial committee deserves great credit
for the careful manner they managed the
finances.
The money invested In the celebration
was well invested. IL gave our citizens
q real pleasant days enjoyment, II kept

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1890-07-30

The steamers City Of Alpena and
Mackinac are now, and have been for
some time past, carrying big loads of ex-
cursionists up and down the lake. All
the state rooms are occupied, and large
number of cots have to be placed in the
cabins to accommodate the tourists. The
steamers present lively appearance as
they come into port. The upper deck IL
covered with people, and large numbers
get on the hurricane deck, while the cap
tain usually has few members of the fair
sex on the top Of the wheel house to as
sist him In getting the steamer safely in
glide to their landing you see the lower
deck, at the foot of the saloon stairs,
packed full Of people. The passenger
list often reaches over 800. When the
steamers arrive here in the evening the
scene OH the wharf is also lively one, as
many hundreds of men, women and child.
rem are there congregated to see the
steamer come In. BY hard work a pass
age is opened through the crowd, ana
those who come ashore have to walk
along a narrow passage for nearly 100 feet,
both sides lined with people. Visitors
get royal reception in which the hotel
runners, hack men and baggage men take
a notable part. We doubt il there is a
port OH the shore that can furnish near
as large reception crowd as Alpena.
1t is to be regretted that the curious can
not be kept away from the vicinity Of the
gang plank, and it is wonder that some
row walk that leads from the steamers to
the wharf.

Election Tickets.

IL seems TO have been the intention OF
the State Legislature to make the new
election law, which comes into effect for
the first time this fall, one where tickets
could not be peddled about the polls, but
that every voter should be compelled TO
go into one of the booths and there get
the ticket he desired TO vote. On this
subject the new law is very vague, and
does not prohibit the use OF tickets out
side the polls, or forbid voter from tax
ing his ticket with him when he goes TO
vote. The la W on the subject Is as fol-
lows:
"Section 4. At every general or spec
ial election held I'm this State after the
passage OF this act, each elector shall
vote by ballot, and shall, I'm full view, de-
election a single ballot or ticket, on
which shall be written or printed, or
partly written or partly printed, the
names of the persons voted for, with
proper designation of the Office which he
or they may be intended to fill. No bal
lot or ticket shall bear upon the outside
thereof, any impression, device, color or
thing designed or liable to distinguish
such ballot or ticket from other legal bal
lots or tickets, whereby the same may
be known or designated. No ticket shall
be used at any such election or circulated
on the day Of such election, unless fur
nished by the Secretary OF State for such
purpose; and IL is hereby made the du-
ty OF the Secretary Of State to pro-
cure and. furnish on application and
payment to him OF actual cost with ten
per cent added thereto by the State GEN.
trail committee, county, or other manag-
ing committee Of any political party, or
organization In this State, such quantity
or amounts OF ballots TO be used at such
approaching elections, as may be deemed
necessary or convenient. All ballots to
be OF the same width and length"
The next section makes II the duty of
the political committee to procure suit
able heading for the ticket, and the pen
atty for counterfeiting such is heavy.
Section 81 compels the inspectors TO
keep supply of all kinds Of lawful tick
cts in the various booths, and there is
heavy penalty for voter who carries
away, or Intentionally destroys, any ballot
so placed by the inspectors, except the
one he intends to place in the ballot box.
The law IL plain In regard to where
the tickets shall be printed and by whom.
1t Is also plain in regard to width and
length of ballots, but II does not prohibit
tickets of different parties from being of
unequal thickness. The law states that
the Secretary Of State shall furnish any
political committee with such amount OF
ballots as may be desired, provided they
pay the expense, but the law does not
state what the political committees shall
do with the tickets. We claim they can
distribute the tickets to whom they please,
and those tickets so distributed can be
used at the polling places.
The Secretary of State should get de-
cislon from the attorney general on this
subject, so that there can be no room for
dispute when election comes.

cause Of the trouble was for not closing

were the egg donators. Employees object
to work from seven O'Clock in the morn
