Perhaps.

The city council will try desperately
hard to meet tonight; and if there is no
session, it will be because of the lack of
a quorum. An application will be
made for the loan of the artesian well
machinery to the L. S. government for
the boring of a we'll at Fort Bliss for
artesian water, and if there is any
objection the council would like to
know it. The mayor says in his opin-
ion the council will be unanimous in
favor of granting the application-he
will be anyhow; and the city clerk says
in this connection, "Speak now, or for
ever after hold your peace" When q
HERALD reporter asked his honor and
the clerk what was to be done with the
pipings still in the we'll. they both with
one accord exclaimed, "Oh, go ask
Stewart" Now Stewart threatens to
brain the next man who says artesian
we'll piping to him.

MISSOURI SNAKE CATCHERS.
A Queer Industry Carried On
Along the Mississippi.
TIT Reptiles Forsake tho Low Lands In
the Fall and Seek the Bluns.
Where They Hibernate
Through Winter.

The cool fall weather affords the
careful observer a fine opportunity foI
noting one of the curious things In
nature-the migration Of snakes, says
The Alton correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic. These reptiles look
up their winter quarters, and these
quarters In this vicinity i1Gy be found
In the bluffs which line the river bank
above the city. All the snakes which
spend the summer In tho bottom lands
OF Missouri point, just opposite, make
their way across the river to the bluffs,
where they hibernate until the gentle
brcczcs of spring thaw them out, when
they slip down the shale and debris
which undcrlic the bluffs and again
seek the lowlands.
The crossing of tho river is q very
simple matter for them. Tl.ey simply
swim over, and many arc killed by
fishermen while making this crossing.
An old resident of the bluffs above
this city states that he has seen the
time in November when the river
could not be crossed in a skif, especial
ly In the middle of the day. when IL
was warmest, without at least q dozen
snakes being seen swimming for the
bluffs, and he has frequently killed a
half dozen r~attlesnakes with an a
while going To and from Alton.
A hunter along these bluffs lately
saw an old man who appeared to
be looking very intently at the water
with a field-glass, and, curious TO dis
cover what 1t meant, Joined him at the
edge of the water. The mar had with
him besides the field-glass n heavy
sack and a curious pair of long wooden
tongs, and in answer to questions said
he was u snake catcher, watching the
surface OF the water the while.
Presently he sighted a snake swim
ming for shore II short distance above
where he was standing, and proceeded
to meet him with his tongs, with
which he picked up the snake as he
landed. Itprovcd to be Il black snake,
and was dropped into the sack without

different purposes. The trick Of CATCH

used to catch them with boats, and

is that a n can catch more snakes
