COMPTON, Oct. 26.-Another dose of
protection administered to Comptonites.
yet We have survived. Reason: We
have had so much in the way OF an
tidote that it loses its effect. Major
Donnell, of course, claimed that the re-
duction in the price OF everything
farmers bad to buy was due solely to
protection. and quoted salt, nails and
all hardware as especial examples. He
presumably delighted the hearts OF
farmers by telling them that mortgages
on their property were an Indication OF
great prosperity, faith in the future,
etc., and he pitied the farmer from the
bottom OF his heart who could see
nothing but his mortgage; such man
was in very bad way who could allow
such sign OF prosperity to worry him.
OF course, all these things we're hailed
as gospel truth, and We suppose every
farmer that is not mortgaged will
hasten to assume sign OF prosperity at
lea9t.
Major Donnell deplored the ignorance
Of the Populists on the finance question,
and claimed there was never so much
money in circulation as in 1894, and
that there never had been more than
$24 per capita. He claimed all the great
men from Washington down had been
protectionists. A prominent young Re-
publican, with shoes heavy enough for
dozen men, did his best, with shoes and
hands to instigste great applause" at
the proper places. but it was not az con-
tagious SO it would once have been, and
the "uproarious applause" sill, in con-
sequence, have to be omitted.

A CLEVER swINDLE.
The Mails Used by Several sharpers for
Fraudulent Purposes.

The Mails Used by Several sharpers for
Fraudulent Purposes.
PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. pa clever
swindle has been unearthered here by
the arrest of A. @. Danmeir on the
charge OF using the mails for fraudu-
lent purpose. The base of operations
was at Palestine. small suburb OF this
city.
About mouth ago two alleged pre-
tentious concerns began receiving and
depositing mail there. One was "Kaner
& Co., manufacturers agents for mer-
chsndise," at Denver. COL, and Port
land, Ore. M. 0. W. Kaner, who signed
his name as manager Of the alleged
concern, was the initial party to the
awindling, the fnishing touches being
put on by j. D. Eaton. who signed as
agent of the Palestine Express com
pany," whose alleged business was
expressing and forwarding" and ''stor-
age at lowest rates."
Advertisements were inserted in the
want columns of daily papers in eeveral
western cities, asking for agents to sell
stock of dry goods, notions and crock
eryware on salary and commission. A
young man in San francisco answered
the advertisement and afterwards
brought the matter to the attention Of
the postal authorities. The plan OF the
swindle was divulged in his correspond
ence with Kaner & Co.. who represented
that they had $4,000 stock OF goods
which WAS to be divided up into four
parts for the purpose of stocking four
different stores in his city. The agent
was to get salary OF $50 month, and /
per cent of the gross receipts. The
goods were packed ready for shipment,
and each agent was to pay his share OF
the freight. The Palestine Express
company at this juncture would notify
the agent that the goods were reaGy for
shipment, but the charges, amounting
to $l5, must be prepaid.
Danmier is well known here. A few
years ago he drove a First street car.
He has not yet been able to furnish a
bond of $4,000 for his appearance before
the federal grand jury.

THE CITRUS FAIR.
SOME DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AS

petitivs Points, With IudioR-
tions In Favor of

Orange growers throughout the south.
ern counties are bostirring themselves
in order that the next citrus fair may
compare favorably with those previously
held.
A temporary hitch, however, threat
ems, for some difference of opinion exists
ae to where this years citrus frir ought
to be held. All other things being equal,
the idea is regarded as a good ne that
the most important cities in th 9 south
should be honorsd in turn. Unfortu-
nately, however, ss experience he's
proven. all other things are not equal
To date nvs fairs have been held.
Three held at Los Angeles were not only
successful in the ordinary acceptaticn of
the term, but in each case surplus OF
$4,000 was returned to exhibitors in the
shape OF dividends. The one held at
Cotton was not financial success, q
deficit having to be made up, and the
one held ct San Francisco does not fall
within the bounds OF criticism, as no
admission fee was charged, and the CON-
ditions under which the exhibit WAS
made were altogether exceptional.
An effort is being made to secure from
the orange growers OF Los Angeles. San
Bernsrdino, Riverside and San Diego
counties o pledge that the next citrus
fair ehall be held at San Diego. The
matter will be settled by the aojudics-
tion Of the state bureau of agriculture
when the southern part of the state lie
represented by two mem bers, viz, Rich
ard Gird of Chino. and w. l.. Hardison
of Santa Paula. They are likely to take
their cue from the orange growers but
go far it seems as il the majority of
these gentlemen had doubts regarding
the advisability OF holding citrus fair
st San Diego. II held at Los Angeles it
is an assured success, but if held at the
bay 1t is, to say the least, problematical
whether in the fullest sence OF the
term the citrus fair would be succoss-
full.
This year, too. there will be no citrus
fair in the south, for5while the state ap. |
propristes $4,000 to each division bi-sn-
nuslly for these exhibits, the northern |
portion exhausted itself in "whooping |
things up at the midwinter fair" The |
south. however, will have $2500, as
usual for premiums, and will be able to

An Az. Army,s victory over Snake.


While camping in Alabama during

man of Dayton, O., 81 witnessed an at
tack of band of black ants upon
striped snake. One evening, while | was
trying to go to sleep after a long days
march, I felt something move under my
head. lifted one corner of the blanket
and found snake between and feet
in length. I quickly hit it with small
stick, but the reptile seemed hardly
stunned, SO picked it up on tho end of
the stick and threw it about 15 feet
away.
"The snake landed on large ant hill.
Almost instantly the ants poured
forth from their nest, which was un-
derneath, and began vigorous attack
upon the intruder, who was soon COW
cred by scores of his assailants, biting
him fearfully. The battle ragged with
fury, the snake writhing about in tor
ture. The contest at first seemed an un-
equal one, for the snake was rapidly
thinning out his prosecutors; but, on the
other hand, the ants were very numer-
GUS and quick in their aggressive move
ments. The snake, with one blow of his
tail, would kill or wound long line of
ants, but. the active little creatures were
soon REINFORCED by fresh troops and
fought with desperation wonderful to
behold. I was astonished beyond meas
ure to see the tactics of the ants. When
they saw their numbers were being
lessened, they dispatched couriers for
fresh relays of soldiers. who appeared
on the scene in due time to replace the
killed or wounded. The moon, after q
time, Lit up the scene, but as there ap-
peared no near termination Of the strug-
