A Real Snake Story.
Correspondence Of the Ledger.

NASCt
Rush HILL, Mo-, Ger. 1S.-Last
week two prominent farmers from
near Rush Hill, Thomas Roberts
and Joe Kennedy, went to Mexico.
Just as they were entering town and
while engaged in a very absorbing
conversation about the Force Bill,
for all We know, Mr.. Roberts sud-
denly exclaimed, "Lookhere, Joel''
Joe turned Just in time to see a
massive snake quietly sticking its
head through Mr.. Roberts legs.
Joe gave vent to sob! Great Scott I"
and tumbled out of the wagon box,
taking a dozen somersaults in the
road before stopping. Mr.. Roberts,
more courageous, jumped over the
seat and caught hold of a breast
yoke lying in the back of the wagon
bed and began pounding away at
the serpent with the strength of a
Samson until it was finally dis
patched. Now the question is,
where did the snake come from?
Both declare it was not there when
they got in the wagon. Mr.. Rob
erts says it was in Joe's boot but
upon discovery it was found that
Joe wore shoes. So the mystery
goes unsolved. BILL DUFF.

CHIyALR0Us CLEVELAND,
Why the Popular ex-PEesident Will
not Attend Dedication Exercises
at Chicago.

CHloAGo, Ill, October 1S,-Grov-
er Cleveland, Mrs, Cleveland and
the baby Ruth viii not come to
Chicago after all. In a letter re-
eeived by Secretary Culp, MI,
Cleveland declined the invitation
which the Exposition officials had
sent him to take part in the various
festivities of the week. He had
been expected TO participate in all
the official and social events, and
his coming was awaited by thou
sands of friends. Mr.. Cleveland's
refusal to come to Chicago at this
time was not at all the result OF
political or business engagements,
lie is not coming simply because
ne does not wish to gain any polit-
zeal advantage owe an opponent
who is detained by so sad a circum-
stance as that which keeps Pres
ident Harrison from attending the
dedication exercises.
The text of Mr.. Cleveland's letter
follows:
New YORK, October 13.-To
Edward C. Culp, Esq, Secretary
My DEAR SIR-My response to
your courteous invitation to attend
the dedication ceremonies of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition has
been long delayed. l should have
been very glad to be present on this
interesting occasion and thus show
my appreciation of its Importance
if [ could do so solely as an ex-
President of the United States. |
am sure, however, that this is i'm
possible; and [ am unwilling to
undertake the trip, which, from be-
ginning to end, despite all efforts on
my part, would be regarded as a
political tour made by a candidate
for the presidency. My general
aversion to such a trip is over
whelmingly increased in this par.
%ticular instance when | recall the
affective dispensation which detains
at the bedside of his sick wife an
other candidate for the presidency.
l have thus frankly stated the rea-
sons which constrain me to forego
the satisfaction which the accept
ance Of your invitation would other.
wise afford me l hope in the light
of a considerate and sympathetic
sentiment, which ought to be felt by
all our people, that these consid-
erations will be deemed abundant
justification of my action.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEvLAND.

THE KELLEY TREATMENT.
DIR. Bauduy Says 1t Never Produces
Ill Effects.
From the Kansas City Journal

From the Kansas City Journal.
The following is interesting just
now, as being the candid and out
spoken opinion of a reputable ply
sician:
"About malicious statements-As
a physician Of thirty years exper-
fence | characterize as malicious abb
surb and utterly untrue, the state
ments that DR.. Keeley's methods
ever produced the slightest ill-af-
fects. This fact, however, is too
well substantiated and too we'll
known to thousands of individuals
from all classes of society that the
Doctor has cured, and too many
honest and grateful hearts, to need
any special refutation.
DIR. J. K. BAUDUY, LII. D."
DR.. Kelley does not claim to do
more than to remove the desire for
liquor and drugs. He does not claim
that he will furnish brains, but he
does claim that his treatment is
harmless, and that a man leaves
the Institute with all the brains he
took with him. No sane man who
has given the matter a moments
serious thought thinks otherwise.
Witness the men who have taken
the treatment at Excelsior Springs.
They are all better physically and
mentally than they were before.
Some of the best known men in
Kansas City are graduates of the
Kelley Institute at ExcelsiorSprings,
and all speak in the highest terms
OF the treatment. The change in
their appearance is marked by
everyone. They are brighter and
better in every way, a eat and
sleep better, can do more work,
their brains are clearer, their eyes
are brighter and their general health
better than for years. This applies
to every graduate Of the Kelley In
stitute at Excelsior Springs that we
have any knowledge of with one ex-
ception and that mans friends and
say his mind was unbalanced
for a year before he took the Kelley
cure.
Investigation develops the fact
that he was really more insane and
more dangerous before he took
the treatment than since, but his
actions then were considered the
result of his habits and laid to
whiskey. The idea that the Kelley
treatment affects a mans brain or
destroys anything but the disease
and desire for stimulants is absurd
and on a parallel with the notioni
that Ignorant people formerly held
regarding the dangers of incubation
as a preventive of smallpox.
