THERE WERE TWO SNAKES.
Bat Neither OF the Hunters was
Aware Of Them at First.

Messrs George A. Nicks!s, of Savannah,
and f. P. Alexander, Jr., of Duluth,
MINI. son of General +. P. Alexander,
have been visiting o. helms in Boston,
Ga. for several days, quail shooting. In
company with Mr.. Mems they expert
en- ed a very exciting and narrow escape
of being bitten by huge rattleSnake.
Mr. helms, with his valuable setter, was
hunting scattered birds, found his dog on
a point, shot and wounded the bird. His
dog rushed forward to retrieve the bird,
and in trying to catch it, ran into hole
in the earth. Mr.. helms found his dog
trying to scratch the bird out, and sitting
down near the hole and within six inches
of monstrous rattlesnake. The dog,
while scratching, came too near the snake,
and was bitten twice. Mr.. helms shot
the snake Immediately. MessTs. helms
and Alexander came up, and after inject
ing tincture of iodine into the dog, began
cutting the rattleS off the dead snake. TG
their horror they he ard another snake in
the hole. Mr. Alexander stepped back
from the hole, where he had his foot and
picking up his gun saw very large one
coming out with TIE bird in its mouth.
He shot it Immediately. The first snake
had ten and the latter seven rattles, meas.
ing four and six feet.

A Terrible Problem.

The misery of life in big city Is
beyond the comprehension of the
majority of people. 1t not only seems
incredible that people should stsrve
to death in a town like New York,
but 1t also seems absolutely impossi-
Bile. People who think about the
thing at all probable reach the easy
conclusion that if any were actually
driven to extremity by hunger they
could easily secure reli eff at one of the
many charitable institutions. Yet 1t
is perfectly well known that such
relief is not always available and
there are many people who prefer to
die rather than beg at the door of
these places. 1t is a problem that
centuries have failed to solve, but it
is terrible nevertheless.-Bl =

The latest development of the automatic
fiend is a railway library, which means a
case of books fitted into railway carriage 5.
The volumes are presumably to be restored
to the case at the end of the journey, but
what is to prevent one pas nger handing
his pennywOrth to a companion who is
going on further! Nor, indeed would it
be difficult for a traveller, with uncertain
ideas on the subject of honesty, to carry
away under his rug any especially
thrilling tale that he had not time to
finish in the train.

Boycots Them.

Ketchum Keystone.
This would be a good time for
the silver men to commence boy
cotting the New York World, Sun,
Post and Tribune: A very large
share of the wealth that gives them
strength and isolence comes from
the pockets Of silver producers and
their friends west of the Mississippi.
Were this generosity bestowed up.
on newspapers friendly to silver the
attorneys Of Wall street who edit
the above sheets would be less con-
temptuous in their manner of
speech when referring to the "ignor-
ant miner and cowboy' popula-
ton of the corrupt silver boroughs
of the West" It would also con-
tract the circulation and influence
OF the papers friendly to silver;
and If we strengthens our enemies
with our money we do not deserve
friends.

He had Nerve.

Wood River Times.
Old Mr.. Stinson, of the the East
Fork of Wood rive, is in Salt Lake
city, undergoing treatment for
cancer in the mouth, from which he
has suffered for years. Some time
ago the cancer having filed his
mouth to such an extent that he
could scarcely breathe, he endeav-
ored to have DR.. Brown operate on
him. But that gentleman, realiz-
ing the hopelessness of the case,
refused. Mr.. stinson then asked
some Of miners on tho Fork to cut
it out with . razor which he had in
his hand. They also refused. The
poor man thereupon stood in front
of a looking glass and, holding his
month open with his left hand,
slashed the cancer with his right
until he cut out a piece as large a.
a walnut. This relieved him for .
week or two, but the growth soon
became larger than before. He
thereupon left for Salt Lake city a.
q last resort, and he is not expected ]
to live much longer.

No Senator who cherishes the
recollection of country school

GRANGE of new.mown hay, of plan
tation white with cotton bolls, of
the manly laborer at forge, lathe,
or bench, or who has ever been the
fortunate recipient Of the hearty
hospitality of the rugged miner will
hesitate to declare in whose hands
he would place the safety of this
nation.
Let US not neglect the modest
wishes of these people. They
do not ask the confiscation of
the property Of any corporation.
They only ask such protection
from transportation companies as
will secure to them a fair division
of the product of the mine or field.
Every step looking to that end has
so far been a failure. The farmers
of the rich Palouse country, which
is perhaps the most productive in
cereals of any district in Amerca,
pay 1911 cents freight per bushel on
wheat for a haul of less than 400

THE BLESSINGS OF POVERTY.
Extracts from Senator McConnell's
Great Speech.

Extracts from Senator McConnell'
Great Speech.
Mr.. President, standing here IT
this Chamber in and around which
so many memories cluster; stand
ing in the presence Of the Senators
of this great Government-mer
who for veal or for woe, control the
destinies of this nation; q strange,
representative from an infant state
standing not only in your presence
but in the presence of 6O,OO0,OOO
weary. patient, and forbearing PEG.
pie, l am deeply impressed with
the magnitude Of the task I assume.
For more than half q century
the voices of patriots, whose names
a grateful country will ever hold in
reverential remembrance, were
raised in this chamber in notes of
warning, while link after link was
being forged to the chain which
finally held in bondage four mil
lion people. Deprecating hands
and voices were raised in admoni-
ton to silence the temerity of those
godlike humanitarians, lest some
senatorial courtesy should be vio-
lated, lest the property rights Of
some individual should be dis.
turbed. Year after year, session
after session, Senators sat in this
Chamber and allowed the Shiny
cobra Of slavery to extend its fatal !
coils over one state after another Of !
this fair Republic until fifteen Of
tho sisterhood made the very name
of freedom and liberty in these
United States q scott and a shame |
in every quarter Of tho civilized
globe.
Senators sat here then as now,
with kind hearts and generous i'm
pulses, not one Of whom would not
have greived at sight of cabin
homes made desolate, of husbands
and wives separated, of infants
torn from mothers arms, yet for
the sake of harmony in Congress,
OF peace in the nation, this great
wrong was unchecked for years,
until its suppression cost nearly a
million Of the noblest and bravest
fathers, sons, and brothers in the
land, untold millions of treasure,
and rivers of tears. 1t matters not
under which flag those brave men
fought and fell, they were our BROTH F.,
ers still, and the responsibility of {
their lost lives rests with those, t
many of. whom are now gone, !
who then sat at these desks or t
stood on this floor and electrified c
this Chamber and these galleries, c
~, the civilized world, with their I
'loquence, yet neglected to face
he responsibility which came to n
hem until nothing in the wisdom y
# Providence would undo the great s
wrong, which was of their doing, a
'ut the effusion Of blood. S
In our national cemeteries are Il
thousands Of humble stones, upon r
many of which the chisel has p
wrought a simple, touching word, fl
'Unknown"-a word which to-day c
rings a tear to the eye and a pang o
o the heart of every American Cit o
zen. These stones mark the spot
'eneath which may rest the ashes
your brother, your classmate, or Ii
nine; thousands of these silent I,
aonitors send up their mute an. n
cal to us imploring US, as we cher l;
