BE Describes a Thrilling Adventure With
a River Mocrasin.
1 Col. j. A. Fem, travelling electrician OF
she Western Union Telegraph company,
las arrived in Birmingham, Ala, from the
Hooded districts along the Mississippi.
where he has been looking after the COM
soany's wires, says the st. Louis Globe Dem
E>crat. Near Helena, Ark, Colonel Fem
met with an adventure with Mississi ppi
liver moccasin which he will not soon for
.et.
D Accompanied by colored lineman, Colo
,el Fem was out in the swamps in small
iugout. The water was over everything
Except the tree tops. Hundreds of snakes,
5riven from their dens by the water, had
aiken refuge in the tree tops, and they
Gould be seen hanging from almost every
#mh. While Fenn's boat was passing
SSnder tree an immense bull mooca-
I'm dropped from limb to the, bot
dsom of the dugout. Fem was using the
lEars and the cOlored lineman was sitting in
We stern of the boat. When the snake fell
sle negro, with yell of terror, leaped to
lis feet and came near upsetting the boat.
n he snake seemed much alarmed, and as
ss)on as it struck the bottom of the boat
IAegan to run from enc end to the other at
d lively rate. The negro danced around a
,inute, lodging the snake, and then he
dropped to his seat again and held his legs
\ ell up above the boat and out of reach of
le ugly reptile. After two or three unsuc-
nssful attempts to hit the reptile with a
addle, Fem followed the example of the
egro and elevated his legs to an angle of
II. degrees. The snake was still running
Atom one end of the boat to the other, evil
D sntly looking for some place to hide.
r olonel Fem dropped his oar in the boat
Il I'd allowed it to drift with the current.
& he frightened negro began to pray in
4 nd voice, while the colonel did the swear.
g the situation seemed to demand. The
b pat had drifted half a mile when the
axe, running to one end of the boat with
d eater force than usual, went over into the
Il alter and the two men were able to resume
@stural positions.
] In pile of driftwood further down the
Yer Colonel Fem says he saw ball of
s lakes, He had often heard that snakes
tmetimes coiled themselves together until
Fey formed ball, but he always doubted
,e story until last week. A negro was
wing the colonel's boat, and with his
yddle pushed against a mass of driftwood.
stantly there was a kissing and squirm-
lg. and the negro shouted, "Look at dat
AXE balln'
Colonel Fem saws there were at least 200
axes rolled, twisted and coiled into
i und ball, which had lodged in the pile of
lift. There were water-moccasins, cot
n-mouths. rattlesnakes and blacksnakes
4 coiled together. When disturbed they
cooled and, with great kissing and
uirming. scattered in all directions, some
them hiding in the drift and others
WINNING in the water.
Jolonel Fem says he saw more snakes
the flooded district in one week than he
ID seen in all his life before.

creatures padded along very prettily, at a

walking gait of a man.
AS they directed their course toward the
open sea, and as the weather was calm and
beautiful and the voyage exceedingly pleas
ant, it did not occur to the Frenchman to
make any very thorough test of the ability
to guide the animals.
. Much delighted indeed, with the success
of his experiment., he kept on and ON until
he presently noted that he was already a
considerable distance out at sea and that
the sun was setting.
The interested navigator then attempted
to turn his team about, but the turtles re-
sisted any such movement. They had evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds to go to sea,
and they would not be dissuaded from their
purpose.
The driver pulled his reins until he upset
his turtles in the water, but as often as they
regained the use of their flippers they set
out again for the middle of the sea.
Night settled down rapidly. Luckily the
inventor of the new means of marine
traction had brought with him a pair of
oars, and as last resort he took knife,
cut his tugs and let his sea-steeds, har-
nesses, reins and all go their way.
Then he rowed back laboriously to his
village, lamenting his expenditures on the
turtles, and resolving not to try any further
experiments in navigation.

THE TIMES OUT OF TUNE.

The Kansas City Times attempts to
meet the EAGLES protest against the
state of Kansas continuing the suicidal
policy of making that point, or rather
permitting it to make itself a toll gate
for all the traffic that passes out of and
into the state, by using the EAGLES ref
erence to Kansas City as not possessing
sufficient population to make it con-
Stunning market, and therefore it could
only be sort of middle man, as a coun-
ter argument against Wichita Of
course it holds good against Wichita as
applied to Kansas City, that is as ''con-
Stunning market" Wichita, nor the
EAGLE, never claimed more for this city
in this respect than it is entitled to.
| What we do claim though, is that mas
much as Kansas City cannot be a con-
Stunning market, for the reason clearly
set forth in a previous article, it
can only be considered as
local agency or commission house, and
as such does not, or should not he al
lowed longer to possess any advantages
over Wichita and other available dis
tributing points in this state. The propo-
sition is too clear and forcible to be OBJ
secured by the Times specious pleading or
illogical sophistries, The EAGLE cannot
conceive any plausible reason why Kan
sas should continue to pour her surplus
of products over into a local trading
point just outside of the state to pay toll
to enrich the local handlers thereof with
no return in the way of revenues for the
support of the state government, or the
expenditure of any part of the profits
arising from this commission
business where the people of this
state will not receive any of its
benefits, when by patronizing such
local trading point or points in the state, |
the profits accruing therefrom wonld be |
added to the states wealth and bear its
proportional part of the burdens.
That Wichita can afford such local &C
commodations and do all that Kansas |
City is doing for the accommodation of |
this state, including freight rates and ac-
feasibility to the markets of the country, |
will not be denied by anyone conversant
with the facts and not blinded by preju-
dice. Howbeit, there are some-pity /
it's it's true-that, actuated by a spirit of |
inexplicable cussedness or a trucking |
to fawn at the feet of assum
ed greatness, persist in minifying our
own state and its ability to transact its
own business in its own way, while they
the powers and proportions of
an alien, their only hope of reward being
a hyocritical smile bestowed in passing.

The Mississippi constitution conven-
ton has introduced into its deliberations
one very extraordinary ordinance. which
provides for the forfeiture of the charters
of any railroads which may employ an
armed force to suppress strikes. The
sentiment of the people of the country
generally is pronouncedly and unani-
mously opposed to the practice of cor
porations employing armed force to sup
press strikes among their employees that,
purchance. they may have provoked by
arbitrary action even; but 10 incorporate
a prohibitory provision in the organic
law of the state is of doubtful propriety.
The matter can be Just as effectively
provided against through legislative en-
actment. A clause TO this effect would
seem to be all that is necessary 10 en-
brace in the constitution.
