Rattlesnake Hunters.

4 party of Oil City, Pa, hunters including
"Rattlcsnake" Pete GIuber, went to the interior
Saturday in search Of ratt.esnskes. According to
for snakes, but the party returned in the evening
W tn nine live and seven dead ratt)ers Eight got
away. The ones captured and killed were chiefly
between thrce and four feet in length and were
well equipped with rattleF, ranging from seven to
sixteen in number. The live ones were Gagged
with about forty previously caught, while the oil
was taken from the dead ones and their skins re-
moved, to be stuffed, used as cane covers neckties
and other grewsomely suggestive ornaments, for
which, odd as it may appear, frequent requests
and queries come from all over the country. The
point visited by the party was ravine about To
miles from Oil City 1t would be great place to
build homo for inebristes. The rocks there and
the adjacent hills are stocked with rattlesnakes
by the hundreds il not by tho thousands. So nu-
merous arc they that numbering work in that vi
cinity is suspended during several months Of the
year. Tho hunters-tke few who will touch the
dangerous things-capture the reptiles by pinning
them to the ground by long proDged poles.
catching them back of the head with the hand
and steering them into box with sliding cover,
from which they are removed in much the same
msnnel. There is one den at the place mentioned
where hundreds Of rattler5 have been captured or
killed, aid where they ye. abide in untold num-
Ders. A novel scheme. which has lever been exc
cuted, though several times proposed. ia now up
der consideration by the coterie Of hunters re-
ferred to, and it is expected some Of these fae
snake days to attempt it's operation. The scheme
is to capture several snakes near the mouth Of the
den, firmly attach to their tails fuses saturated
with OIL set fire to the fuses, and start the snakes
into the den. 1t is believed by some of the hun
tors that this will serve only to drive the reptiles
deeper into the esrth while the enthusiasts be-
ieve that the rattlers will swarm out in numbers
only to be copjectured.

The Dominion Parliament has been dis
solved and Sir John Macdonald will appeal
to the people. The election takes place
early in March. Until election day politics
will rage in the Dominion with great fury.
The election will turn on the question of
unrestricted reciprocity with the United
States, the Liberals espousing that doctrine.
If it were possible to present that question
to the voters uncomplicated with others the
Liberals would probably win. But the Con-
servatives will contend that unrestricted
reciprocity is but cloak for annexation and
in this way may SO arouse national pride as
to secnrs another lease of power The Con-
servatiyes, too. are shrewder campaigners
than their opponents, they have all the pat
ronage in their hands, they will have the
assistance of the powerful Canadian Pacific
and the voting lists which have not been re-
vised for neatly two years will tell strongly
in their favor. These are odds which the
Liberals are going to find it difficult to over
come, Notwithstanding there prevails un-
doubleday strong sentiment in favor Of
freer commercial relations with the United
Statas /

The scheduled water rates submitted to
the City Council by the Water Company is
arranged on a basis so different from the ex-
isting one that COMPARISON is extremely diff
cult. In some cases the new rates would
undoubtedly work reduction. in others
people continuing to use the same water con-
veniences as now would undoubtedly find
their bills increased. This uncertainty itself
is good reason for not adopting the new
