SNAKES IN FLORIDA.
They are Numerous, bnt JOnes's
ucgs are Helping to Eradicate
Them.


"Talk about snakes" said Mr..
Edward T. Anterior, OF Boston, to
a Washington Post reporter, there
are more Of them to the square acre
in Florida than in any other part
of the glorious country. / am Just
| back from months soiourn down
there, and saw and heard enough
about snnkes to DO ne the balance

makes tenderfool's blood crrdle
TO hear The horrible legends tod in

the country for fear of encounter
ing the deadly RATHER. AS numur
us as they are now they are not
half as abundant RS they were
few years ago, before any organized
effort WAS made to snnihiiate the
whole serpentine breed.
cit seems that bright idea, in
volsing the wholesale extinction of
snakes, entered the mind Of ono
William Jones, who up to that
time had been a poor farmer strug
Cling to support Big family.
Now lie lie one Of the solid men Of
the coanIB and he made all his
mouey by the successful execution
Of that lea. He knew that the or
binary razor back hog Of Florida
was great natural enemy Of
Snakes, and he get to work to syste
matically train whole drove of
hogs TO hunt down and destroy the
reptiies. In little while he had
h swine as thoroughly trained in

This is no Romance, for | talked

tanned a record of all the snakes
slain for the past :welve montbs.'
[ have every reason to believe he
was stating the facts, for he gave

ANOTHER TORNADO
Visits Arkansas, Doing Great Damage to Property-No LOSS of
 LifeA1cnorted.

ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, Oct. Reports are just coming in telling of the ravageI of a tornado which struck Geuda Springs; eighteen miles west of the Arkansas river, late Saturday evening. Much damage was done to farm houses and crops, and it is feared that serious reports will be received when telegrsphic communication is re- stored. As far as known there were no fatalities. Two people are known to have been injured. The property loss will ag- gregate nearly $l00, ,000.
 The tornado struck Geuda Springs from the southwest and continued in nortb- easterly direction till it reached Winfield before spending it's force. In it's course 1t laid low farm houses. outbuildings, crops and trees. In Geuda Springs the bath house (which cost $40 ,O0O, was partially wrecked. The Albright twc.z tory e brick building was unroofed and the stores of w. A. Wells and Tom Ryan were totally destroyed. Hubbel's. business block and the Gilbert block also suffered minor losses. A Mrs. Bookwalter was in the wreck of the bath house and almost buried beneath a pile of brick and mortar, but mi raculously escaped serious injury. Dr. Duffisld was seriously, but not fatally, The aggregate money loss at this point is $2o, ,0oo.
 Springs, minor damage was done, but no miles west, got his family into his cyclone cave, and had just closed tbe door when the house toppled over on them. They were imprisoned for twelve hours but finally escaped without suffering injury.
 From this point through the country to Winfield the tornado was about two miles wide. At Winfield, where the storm broke up, six small houses were blown down and several business houses were unroofed. The large bonded warehouse was completely wrecked and the Southwest Kansas college more or less damaged. The exact loss is unknown but will reach well up in the thousands. Nobody was hurt at this place.

Horrible Result of Firs in a Stone
 g Mansion.
FAgoER AND MOTHER ESCAPE
'S lile Two Children Were / Forced to Jump From a
 WindoW-Others Injured.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-A terrible fire oc- cured at an early hour at South Nyack this morning, destroying the elegant new residence o: Rev. Ross Taylor, son of Rev. William Taylor, bishop of Africa, burning to death four of Taylor's children and seriously injuring three workmen.
 Mrs. Taylor first discovered the fire and alaI med her husband, who investigated and found they were surrounded by fire. The couple were almost blinded by smoke. which was growing more dense every mo- ment, and they saw at once that the most they could attempt would be to get out and even that seemed impossible.
 By hard efforts, however. they succeeded in escaping from the building. Then they saw that their property must go and with it their children, whose escape and rescue was cut off.
 A laborer named Michael Mullaley and two decorators named Edward Sinta and William Puth jumped from the third story and were badly hurt.
 The names of the children burned to death were: Harriet, Ada, Arthur and Schultz. Two other children of Mir. and Mrs. Taylor, Stewart and William escaped by jumping from n upper window.
 Mir. and Mrs. Taylor, who barely escaped with their lives, were taken to the home of hbor near by. They are pros trated with grief at the terrible misfortune which overlook them.
 The bodies of the four children who lost their lives were recovered from the ruins of the burned home at 0 clock this morning. Their remains Were removed to an under taking establishment
 The Taylor residence was built of stone and had been occupied by the family but two weeks. Tue financial loss has not yet been estimated.

MOUNT PINsoN, Oct. 22.-[Special Cor respondence. l-The farmers have used the rainless Indian summer to such good effect that the bulk of the cotton crop and nearly all the corn is safely housed. The staple of the cotton, that is the fiber, is particularly good and the trash in it is at a minimum. Corn is heavy aud in ample supply.
 On one farm an experiment. was made with rice. The Carolina upland rice seed did not fully mature, but the Japan seed ripened in August. This is a crop every family should cultivate if the Japan seed is used. It ripens six weeks before our earli- est frost aud grows 2 to 3 feet high, with heavy heads on very moderate old land.

 FOUND BY THE PolICE.
 At 9o'cock last night negro woman named Gussie Long was found by the police near the council chamber in a very weak condition from loss of blood. She had an ugly gash in her forehead, from which blood was flowing freely. Two ne- groes were supporting her between them, trying to get her to a doctor.
 She was taken to headquarters and doc tor sent for to dress her wound. She had evidently been assaulted by some one whom she was determined to shield from the law. To the police she explained that she was before her mirror getting ready to go to church when suddenly the mirror turned, and striking her head broke and inflicted the wound. The police give very little credence to her story, and are looking for the person who struck her. The woman lives on Vogle street.

 George Burdlck was before the mayor this morning charged with whipping his wife. He was given twenty days.
