WE'LL THOUGHT OF,

The Ellsworth News has the fol-
lowing kind and Aattering words
to say about our townsman and
Treasurer, who is at present a can
didate for reelection:
r. w. Moberly, Republican
nominee for County treasurer, was
in town yesterday looking over the
political situation. Mr.. Moberly
has made one Of the very best OFF,
GERS Mobiles County ever had; &C.
curate and pains-taking in the dis
charge of his duties; pleasant and
courteous to oil, he has made many
friends who will be glad to see him
reelected. AS far as this part of
the county is concerned, Mr.. Mo-
berly will receive the full party
vote and we believe that there are
a number of democratic voters who
will give him their support. We
don't believe there is more up
right. honorable, or better quail
flied man in the county, or a man
who has given better satisfaction
in an office Of public trust, than r.
w. Mober]y. In giving him your
support you have the satisfaction
of knowing that you are voting for
a man who is in every way worthy
and entitled to the hearty support
of the people. 81. =: :. ID. .

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT,

Voters of Nobles County: We wish
to put few facts before you, and ask
you to decide what you are going to do
about it, before the fourth of Novem-
Der, The Republican platform of 1886
said: 1.-The Republican party of Min
nesota is in favor of high license and
local option" The only protest that
we know of, was in 1900 Prohibition
votes. Tie legislature elected on that
platform, enacted our present high IL
cerse law. The same party in its plat.
PORN Of 1883 said: "It points with
pride to its record in adoption in it's
platform, ond honestly carrying into
execution, the most practicable and eff.
feet ual restraint upon the liquor traf-
fic which tl,ae yet been devised" etc. -
The protest against was in II ,O26 pro-
hibition. This year the republican
party comes to as with these words in
it's platform: ut claims that in it's
high licence policy in regard to the IL
quUr traffic, it has sinaugurated the hest
and most efficient method of dealing
with the evils attendant upon such
t&rffic, which has yet been devised,
as shown in the results which have fol-
J lowed. 1t pledges itself to continu.
ance of that policy etc.,
Now what does this "best and most
efficient method" which show IN re-
suits. In the liquor dealers annual
statement for the fiscal year ending
May, 30tb, 1890, it is shown that they
have sold 325, ,8l9 barrels of beer alone
in Minnesota an increase of 127 As bar
rells over the previous year, or 120 bar
rells of beer in Minnesota to one in
Kansas, state with 123 ,466 more peo-
pie than Minnesota has. The Govern
mept revenue report shows that Min
nesota has paid the Government thi'
last fiscal year 81 1929, ,040, 80 its profits
on our liquor business, just about 40
times as much as Kansas has paid.

CATCHING A PYTHON.

How Big Snake Wa. Di.lodeed from 1t.
: :. - Rocky Retreat.
It was during the cold weather, when
snakes are partially or wholly torpid,
that this adventure happened, says
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 crevice
nnder rock, where it was suspected q
python lay hidden, and sure enough it
was there, for they could see bit of
the tail-end protruding from vthe hole.
They let it alone at first, thinkiag that
when the sun shone it might come forth
to bask in it's warmth. In this, how
eyer, they were disappointed, for on the
following day the snake! was not to be
seen. But on closer examination the
tail was found sticking out as before.
Various Efforts we're 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 see
the coils of the monster as thick as
mans thigh; but except that their oper-
ations were occasionally interrupted by
the startling presence Of the creatures
head, which it occasionally poked to-
ward the entrance, darting out its 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-somewha
nervously, must own-to lay
hold of it's tail. To this familiarity it
showed it's objection by decided in
clination to wag it's caudal extremity,
which had such an electrical effect on
our nerves that we dropped it like a hot
potato, and-what shall I call it?-re-
tired. A shot would in all probability
have induced the snake to quit it's re-
fuge, but then the shot must have torn
and disfgured it's beautiful skin, which
the General wished to secure uninjured
as a 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
pose was loosened from the elephants
pad, and this rope, about the thickness
of a mans thumb, was hitched around
the python's tail, its remaining length
brought up again to the pad and fast
ened there, thus doubling it's 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 ''crack"-
the other had snapped also, leaving the
snake in statu quo.
Tho snake was finally dislodged by
counter mining and killed with charge
of buckshot. When measured it was
found to be twenty-one feet in length
and about two feet in girth.

He has faint suspicion that Gen. Golf
