DEATH IN A BOOT LEG.
It Contained Rattlesnake's Fang and
 Caused Two Deaths.

1t Contained 8 Rattlesnake's Fang and
 Caused Two Deaths.
 One day last summer Thomas Horton of Binghamton, N. Y, was passing through piece of cleared land when he was bitten by q rattlesnake. The reptile was shedding its skin and therefore in it's most venomous condition. The ser- pent's fangs had penetrated the cowhide boot, and it was easily killed.
 Horton took off his boots, and his wife gave them to Napoleon Meeker, ne- gro who worked on an adjoining farm. He wore them and died. Archibald Hooker. a nephew of the dead man, wore them AS hours, and he also died in great agony. The boots next passed into the possession of an old trapper. The second day he wore them he was attacked with a pain in his leg. His experience told him it was the result of rattlesnake poi soning. He applied remedy in time and recovered.
 On examining the bootleg he found a small point of piece of bone embedded in the hide. It was the fang of the rat tlesnake, placed in such way that on drawing out the foot the fang, which curved upward, would not injure 1t, but on putting the boot on, it would be al most impossible to escape slight scratch from the poison covered tooth.-St. Louis Globe Democrat

His s4 aill Not Redeemed.

The other forenoon man appeared at the subtreasury in St. Louis and present. ed a S4 bill of the old continental cur rency' for redemption. He hit Bert Farrar, the paying teller, and nearly paralyzed that person by asking $10, 900 in liquidation of the ancient obligation. He obtained this result by figuring com pound interest from the date of issue, TIT, and was displeased when Mr. Farrar suggested that "10 cents per 100 pounds" was about the probable value of such stuff. Finding that neither $10, = 900 nor any other sum was forthcom ing, he gathered up his precious posses sion and sorrowfully departed. St Louis Globe Democrat.

What Keely VIII Do.

Mrs. Bloomfield Moore says that, ow- ing to the position taken by the mana gers of the old Kee'y Motor company at the annual meeting and the delay of the stockholders ill accepting his propo- sition for reorganization, Keely has decided to take out no patents on his in yentions and would adopt a royalty system'' in dealing with his discoveries commercially. To cover the system Mrs. Moore says at least 30 patents would be required to prepare, which would take a long time and cost great deal of money, which could be used better in developing the system.

UNDEReRoUND FLOW.
Experim ents Being Conducted to De-
termine This at Garden City.

Garden City, Sept. 4.-Extensive ex-
periments are being made here as to
the nature and reliability of the under
ground water supply of the Arkansas
valley bottom The rate of flow, if any,
will be accurately established and also
the feasibility or impracticability of
pumping any large amount OF water
from the ground for irrigating pur-
poses.
A number of wells have been sunken
all round the large well at the water
works. Gauges have been placed in all
of these, and as the capacity of the
pumping plant of the waterworks is
known, a careful observation of the
registers will show exactly the effect
of such pumping on the neighboring
water level. What is of the most vital
importance to the inhabitants of this
valley, in regard to the water supply,
is the rate of replenishment. w. D.
johnson of Meade Center, who is con-
Quoting these experiments, very aptly
remarked that if the rate of replenish-
ing the supply is not as great as the
pumping capacity of large plants the
level of the water will gradually be re
duced until a point will be reached
where it will be too deep in the ground
for irrigating purposes. To check this
result, several wells will be put down
and in one of them some persistent col
Oring material will be thrown. A watch
will be kept at the we'll lower down for
its appearance by the color of the wa
ter. From figures thus obtained it can
be shown how much water travels past
in one daV or hour.

A CORN CARNIVAL.
Silver Day at LeonardvilIe-An I'M
mense Outpouring.

Leonardville, Sept. 4-The corn car
n1val here is a pronounced success. 1t
is being held in a grove capable of
day and white corn was the emblem.
The great parade, larger even than
anticipated by the most enthusiastic
left the town at 10 80 for the grove, two
miles north of town. The great length
OF the parade may be realized when it
is understood that when the head of the
procession had reached the grounds
fully One-third Of the parade was still
in town. Three bands. all VerV good
ones, were in the procession, the largest
one at the head. Following the lead
band came the home volunteer firemen
of LeOnardVille, uniformed and mount
ed. Next was a float handsomely dec
GRATED, upon which rode sixteen little
girls dressed in white and carrying flags
surrounding King KOrn, arrayed in a
golden robe with a golden crown, typi-
tying 16 to 1.
At noon a barbecue was held. Farm
ers in the vicinity Of Clay Center had
arranged to haul the silver men of Clay
in wagon loads of Is to sixteen per-
sons to one wagon-free of charge. This
brought immense crowds.
Webb AIcNall, J. d. Botkin and W. D.
Vincent were the orators. 1t was the
greatest rally ever held in this part of
the state. Today is Gold day.
One rather unique feature of the car
nivaI is the method of admission. The
sale of concessions netted the assOcia-
ton a. large sum of money, which will
nearly if not fully, defray the expenses
of the carnival, hence the following
plan for admission. Yesterday all those
who entered the grounds purchased for
each time of entrance on ear of white
corn, symbolic OF the financial faith,
each ear costing one cent. Today-GOld
day-the friends of the yellow metal
will purchase yellow ears of corn. Thus
an opportunity is afforded the gold and
silver men to vie with each other as to
which side may come out ahead.
