COILING RATTLEsNAKEs.
Farmers in New York Having
Endless Trouble With inc
Reptiles.


South Bristol, a Western Ontario
County township, state that the rat
tlesnake plague is the latest problem
the farmers have to deal with.
Around through Std Hill and Stony
Lonesome and other wayback ham
lets in the town, those who dwell on
the hillsides say they can not keep
young chickens more than a day or
so, at the most, after they are Matched
and in many cases the snakes rob the
nests of the eggs as soon as the hens
are through laying.
Henry Smith, one of the farmers,
was thunderstruck the other evening
on going to the hen yard to find
vigorous fgh: going on between a
rattler and big hen whose brood
had been attacked by the audacious
reptile. Smith soon dispatched the
snake, which measured over two feet.
Numerous snake hunts have been
conducted by the young men aud boys
on different Sundays of late, but al
though they kill large quantities each
time, there are yet remaining a vast
number of the poisonous snakes that
dwell in the secluded parts of the
mountains in this, the only mountain
GUS part of the county 1t has been
known that rattlers were numerous
in this section, but it is matter of
great surprise to even those cognizant
of the fact that there should be such
an unusual number there this spring.
In years gone by the veteran "Doc-
tor" Chase, of Cansdaigua, who dealt
largely in rattlesnake oil, shipping it
to all parts Of the country, has made
regular visits to this section in search
of fat rattlers from which to secure
his commodity, but for the last two
years Chase has not been to the Bris-
tol Hills, partly because he has had
other business and partly because he
has been able to find what he con-
iders better variety of snakes ne ar
Naples, in the Italy hills, which ARE
an extension of the Blue Ridge range.
The wife of Conrad Scheuler, a
German farmer, went out to milk the
other night and found her favorite
COW standing in tremulous terror in
fence corner; on investigating she
found a young RATHER about ten inches
long, with two wee buttons on his
tail, complacently clinging TO the
bovine's udder and exactiDg there
from lots of satisfaction and consider
BILE Tactical fluid. Mrs. Scheuler was
made of sturdy stock, and promptly
attacked Mr.. Snake, with results fatal
to him.
Now a petition is being circulated
in that neighborhood to Mr.. Chase to
come up there on the hills and exter-
inmate the pestiferous snakes, and if
necessary TO bring with him to aid
him in the work the famous "Rattle-
snake Pete," OF Rochester, who, it is
thought, could make valuable ad-
dition to his already complete collec-
tion-Rocheste Democrat and Chron-
icle.

stomach. Frequently he doesn't even
know whether the thing he eats is going
to agree with him or not. The things that
please his palate most are often the worst
for him to eat Even the simplest food is
likely to cause him misery and sleepless-
ness. His FIRST trouble was very slight
very simple-very easy to cure. He ate
something indigestible and it stuck some
place in his digestive system. He ate more
things and they stuck. Part of his diges.
ton stopped altogether--that is constipa,
ton.
Constipation Is so common that more
than half the people in America are troub-
led with It. 1t is so serious that nine
tenths of the sickness of the world is
traceable directly to this common cause
A mans health and strength depend upon
what he gets out of his food. This depends
on his digestion. Constipation stops diges-
ton. Anybody can see that. The COM
monest kind of common sense will tell
you that When digestion stops, nutrition
stops, and the whole body Is thrown out
of order.
The way to start digestion Is to remove
the obstruction. The way to do that is to
take DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They
are a positive cure for constipation and
its attendant ills = headaches, sour stom-
ach, fatulence, dizziness, biliousness and
heartburn" They are very gentle in
their action. They simply assist nature
They give no violent wrench to the system.
They cause no pain. nor gripping, nor dis
comfort of any kind.

Sir Vilfrid Lawson, the English
temperance advocate, relates the fol-
lowing story about himself: There
was school in the north of England

does the work of forty horses and
drinks nothing but water?" And

PHOTOGRAPHY IN C0LORS.
Positive Assertion That II Has
Been Accomplished.

The New York World says that
photography in colors is assured
James w. McDonough, of Chicago,
and Prof. Jolick, of Dublin, who were
attempting to secure patents, agreed
that the successful one shonld pay the
other fee and the capitalists in the
undertaking would support the sue
cessful one. McDonough won after a
contest. Ten days ago the Natura
Color PhotographiDg and Printing
company was Incorporated al Rich
mond, Va, with capital of 100000
with right to increase it to $4,000, 900.
The process requires specially ruled
screen and specially ruled paper. A
multi-colored screen, ruled by very
fine lines, formed of dots or small par
ticles is employed. The screen is
ruled with lines in these colors, about
800 to the inch. This screen is placed
in front of and in close contract with
an orthochromatic plate, which is then
exposed in the chamera to the object
to be photographed. The ordinary
block and white negative is thus OBJ
tanned in lines corresponding to the
screen in register. From this mega
tive positive is made in the ordinary
way on glass or paper. If now the
screen or similarly ruled one, be
laid on the positive and moved until
the positive and screen are in register,
the picture comes up in original colors.

GREENCASTLE. Ind, April 23.-Tne MUIR
der of Pearl Bryan and tine trial of Scott
Jackson. now OF in Newport. Is talked
about here to the exclusion OF all other
topics. People may he seen standing on
the streets and discussing the case at all
hours. The latest news from Newport is
eagerly received. The story Of the killing
is known by every one in this county.
where the high connection of the princi-
pals has made 1t all the more sensational.
The line of defense is therefore now the
main matter of interest, for 1t is generally
believed that Jackson had a hand in the
murder. even If he did not actually sever
the head from the body. 1t is not believed
here that a theory of insanity will be Of
fered by the defense. Jackson was always
thought to be a man of sense. and no act
he ever did here would substantiate any
calm hat he was insane at the time or
ever had been.
Newport are returning as quickly as they
went. DR.. r. j. Gillespey and Isaiah YER

beginning OF the trial. The opinions here
expressed vary as TO the outcome. but the
great majority. OF people believe there will
be a verdict OF guilty and a death penalty
against Jackson. II not against Walling
wnen he is tried. The artists who have
been taking snapshots at the Greencastle
people are making but few pictures. SO far,
that are recognizable. Fewer people have
attended the trial from here than was ex-
pected would go. During the first excite
merit over the murder and during the pre-
iiminary trials large numbers OF people
went from here, but the evident determina-
ton to have a fair. impartial and quick
trial at Newport, as Is being managed by
Judge Helm ana Sheriff Plummer, gives
the people here great confidence, and there
are not TO exceed a score Of Putnam coun-
~ people at the hearing.

them comes the election of one-thdrd or

being elected for a term OF nine years. but
one-third retiring every three years The
successors OF many Of those Senators who

they would agree only to a ffty-fve-cent
rate. The miners reported to their State con-
vention at noon, and this afternoon. after a
short insistence for 6S cents. they offered to
sign a contract for 81 cents, the Ohio price,
and which would be a recognition of the
inherent differential under the Pittsburg

competition now is with the eastern Illinois

district Indiana could pay no better price
that % cents. On this there was a final adj
journment.
