How to Treat a NounI.

Three useful things to have in the
farmers home as q provision in case
OF wounds not sufficiently serious to
necessltate the calling in of the medi-
dial attendant, are a spool of adhesive
plaster, some iodoform gauze and a
package Of carbolated absorbent cot
ton. Cleanse and dry as nearly as
may be the cut surface with q wad of
the cotton, using moderate pressure,
and %elevating the part if necessary to
check the flow of blood. Do not ap-
ply any water. Bring the cut surfaces
together as accurately as possible, and
retain them there with rs few and as
narrow strips of the plaster as will
suffice. cutting them of a good length.
Then cover the wound with q dozen
or SO thicknesses of the iodoform
gauze, which should extend an inch,
at least, beyond the wound, Over
the gauze, apply q liberal layer of the
absorbent cotton, allowingit, in turn,
to extend beyond the gauze. The
cotton may be kept IN place by q
bandage of cheesecloth, or where suit
able, a part OF the leg of d stocking
may be drawn ovor 1t. Moderate
pressure, if evenly distributed, is help
ful. The pressure of u string is hurt

A new theory why men OF Caucasian
stock need change of sir is advanced
by DR.. Louis Robins51. His idea is
that as the progenit9rs of the Indo.
Germanic peoples were nomads, a
change of location at intervals is
"craved by a deep seated hereditary
instinct" To prove his theory he
takes up the case of wild animals in
menageries and shows how much bet
ter is the condition of those in travel
ing shows than that of the unfortunate
beasts in permanent geological gar
dens. The same thing is seen in res.
ervation Indians. Those who have
freedom to range over large territory
will be in good physical trim, while
those confined to the same location
fail rapidly. Among civilized people
1t often happens that a man will gain
who exchanges good air for bad air,
simply because his system craved
change. DIR. Robinson holds that the
nomandic age of the world was far
longer than scientists have estimated.
and that the effect of centuries of wan
dering life can never be eradicated
from civilized men. It is an ingeni-
GUS theory, which can be enforced by
a large amount of proof.

An Oregon Snake Den.

The largest rattlesnake, captlred j.,
Iamhlll County, Is now the worse for
its experience. The original home of
this snake is, no doubt, in the famous
Ihurber snake den. near which If was
captured. The IhurDer den is on the
farm owned by A. ". Rees, in a rocky
knoll covering about two acres. The
knoll is covered by q low growth of
oak shrubbery and wild grass. The
snake home is really a rock quarry.
On the surface are rocks in endless
numbers, and the regularity of the
shape IS remarkable. Nearly all are
perfect cubes, varying in size from six
inches to two feet and more. The
crevices between these rocks are a
natural home for the reptile family.
and it is said to be no uncommon
sight to see scores of snakes summing
themselves on the rocks in the early
spring.
1t is not rattlesnakes alone that
haunt this den. There are b1owsnakes
and blue racers. Many ofsthe latter
have been killed in the vicinity that
have attained a length of six feet.
Then there is the stupefed snake,
which is one Of th9 most interesting of
the family. This@nake has a head on
each end, and runs either way. One
head is about oDe-iourth RS large as
the other. It is OF a yelIowish color.
1t generally lies i'll q loop, and is fire.
quently observed running in an ap.
parently stupefed condition on a rock
or log. There are other varieties, such
as the garter, found around the den,
but the bite OF none except the rattle
snake is known to be fatal. Several
and some cattle have died in the
vicinity Of the den from snake bites.

preliminary caucus of last night brought
many to town, and this morning 1t was
confidently predicted that considerable ex-
citement would characterize the formal
convention. The old wheel horses of the
party and the young leaders who have
come into prominence with this campaign
were equally well represented, and the
re nix and file made hotel Hobbies reverbrate
with their discussions of currency.
The program of the day, as mapped out
this morning, included the renomin ton
without opposition of Col. Henry o. Kent
of Lancaster for governor and Charles Nc
Daniel of Springfield for Congress, in the
second district. .-.--
The committee on resolutions wrestled
with their task far into the night, and
resumed work early this morning. The
platform, when completed will indOrSe the

WILLIAMS BAIL REDUCED.
Judge Mills This Afternoon Set tn.
Security at $1,000.


This afternoon at 2:l5 o'clock the Police
made motion for a reduction of bail IN
the case.
He asked that the bond be reduced to
5000. In support of his motion he men,
tiored the physical disability of his client
and said he thought Incarceration in Jail
might endanger his life The motion was
based on the claim that the bond fixed
was unreasonable and excessive. The de-
PENDANT, he said, was well known to the
court and had never before been charged
with crime.
He is not thief" said counsel, land
we know he will not run away
Mr. Mullowny, in opposition TO the mo-
ton, said he was sorry that his duty re-
quired him to object. MIR. Williams, he
said. had been an official of the court,
and" he said, The was man whom We
almost loved
He called the courts attention 10 the fact
that while the warrant charged the ernbez-
zle ment of only $500, he had been told that
it would reach about $3.50 and if the
amount charged had any effect upon the
court, he might have warrant charging
a larger amount sworn out. Then he said
it was currently reported that he had
sCIandered the money on the races. There
is. as yet, no certainty about this, Dat
there is a certainty that there is a short
age.
Again, he said there was no showing
made that his physical condition is such
that his life would be endangered by inn
prisonment.
In response to this Mr.. Shillington said he
could make proper showing so far as his
physical condition is concerned. The bond
he said, should not necessarily cover the
amount of the alleged embezzlement
Judge Mills said that the idea of bond
was to insure the appearance of the de-
PENDANT. and he was willing to reduce the
bond to 81 900, which he did
Mr.. Shillington said he thought he would
be able to give the reduced amount later
in the day.

BICYCLE RIDER ASSAULTED.

Insult,

Result of an Attempt Made to Resent
IN Insult.
What Is described by eye witnesses as a
brutal assault was committed shortly be-
fore II O'Clock last night near the corner
OF I'd and f streets northeast. A party Of
bicyclists, consisting of two ladies and two
gentlemen. were riding along E street
when an insulting remark was addressed
to one OF the ladies by one of two men
who were standing on the corner. The es-
cort Of the young woman Immediately rode
back to resent the insult, when he was set
upon by the men, beaten, knocked down
and then kicked.
The assaiants fastened away from the
spot and made good their escape. The in
1ured man lay on the sidewalk for some
time, while Mr.. William b. Moore who Sc
sides near the corner mentioned and Mr..
Frank II. Waite, drug clerk, summoned
assistance. No. patrol wagon finally
reached the spot, and the unconscious man
was removed to the Emergency Hospi. al
There DIR. West found his injuries to be
slight. He gave his name as William E.
Boyle. but it is thought to be assumed. He
said his home is at Rosslyn. Va. and that
he Is an electrician by occupation. The
companions Of the man also declined to
give their names.
