hunt up some ugly looking specimen OF
the snake family-the more deadly the
better 1t fits his purpose~-pnd let the
reptile sink Its vcnomous fungs I'm his
bare arm or hand.
Recently while on visit In the
mountains of western Pennsylvania, "a
half dozen spottcd vipprs were found IN
q spot under stone. Rolling up the
sieevc OF his coat until his arm was
bnre to tho elbow, Wilmer proceeded
with his other hand to take the largest
and ugllest looking viper by the tail,
and. shaking him apart from the rest
of the snakes, swung him about until
he was thoroughly cnrngcd. lie then
allowed the viper 10 sink it's teeth In
his arm.
Then. oncby one, the other vipcrs
were picked up and allowed to seize tho
nrm, until there were q full half dozen
OF the spotted, writhing things hanging
from Winners flesh and writhing them
selves about the arm In very frenzy
Of rage. When the spectators were suf-
ftcicntly Mortified the man took tho
rAakes one by one by the taii, and, shnk-
Ing them loose from his arm, killed
them by swapping them like the lash of
whip.
For the rest of tho day no man would
have Eccn surprised to see the man
drop dead at any moment. but, on the
contrary, he seemed among the livclicst
OF the party. There was no swelling of
the arm nor any numbncss of tho flesh,
the only truce OF the exhibition being a
number of tiny red spots on the arm,
which looked like nv II needle hnd

marks of the snakes fangs.

If asked the question Have you go
stomach?" it would be safe on gen
eral principles, to answer Yes" But.
if you are sure of it, that is, if you ever
feel any distress after eating or any
pains of whatever description in the re
gion of the stomach, you have got some
thing more than an ordinary stomach;
in other words you have got a diseased
stomach. The stomach is a powerful
muscle, and the remedy for tired
muscle is rest. Try the Shaker Digest

Surprised ATTORNEY,

Attorney Eddings, acting as prosecu-
tor, was one of the most surprised men
in the city. On Wednesday a woman
was arrested on the charge of adultery
and in the Police Court on Thursday
plead guilty and received a small fine.
The man in the case was tried yester-
day, and was identified first by the wo-
man and later by two other persons as
the man implicated with her. Attorney
Eddings was preparing himself for a
verdict of guilty, and Attorney Neu-
mann, who defended the prisoner, was
ready to write out an appeal to the
Circuit Court, when Judge De La
Vergne rendered verdict of acquittal.
The only witness for the defense was
the prisoner. He swore that he was in
the bosom of his family at the time
the crime charged was committed.

Chronic BOndSmen.

Three Cinnamon were arrested yes
terday morning for having in their
possession number of che IA tickets.
AS is usual, there appeared on the
scene countrymen ready to bail them
out. One was a clerk in an attorneys
office quite close to the police station.
and another was a clerk in an attor-
ney's Office little farther away. The
first was on the spot a little earlier
than the second, and had one man all
fixed, ready to be released He was
arguing with the other two, when the
second Chinese clerk appeared on the
scene. Through persuasive eloquefce
he succeeded in getting the two China
men to consent to be bailed out by him
A little later the attorney, who has
the second clerk named in his office,
appeared at the police station and
asked the first clerk what business he
had to take away his clients. The Chi
naman made some kind of a reply,
when the attorney slapped one side of
his face, and, not waiting for him to
turn the other, slapped on the opposite
side.
The Chinaman did not like this pro-
ceeding and threatened to have the at
torney arrested, but as yet, no warrant
has been issued.

MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS.

ulate the Ideas.

Works of the Best Authors Slim
ulate the Ideas.
Vocal music should be taught in the
public schools, because there is no art
which appeals so strongly to the emo
lions as music, says Werner's Maya
zine. Patriotic songs arouse to deeds
OF valor and feelings of patriotism.
Religious song stirs the soul to de-
votional feeling, and is productive Of
worship, hence it's use in churches.
Nothing appeals to the nobler elements
in character as the grand music Of ora
torios, the religious music of the mas
tiers, the strains of the operas and the
familiar hymns of the Preside. Music
helps the discipline of the public
schools. Horace Mann used to say:
when children are tired or nervous,
do not scold them, but sing to them"
The mother sings to the child in the
cradle, grooming it to sleep. The teach
er sings to the children and has them
sing, in order that the hour may be
brighter and the exercises pleasing.
AS a recreation purely, it helps
much in the discipline. Music has its
value from purely music side. Many
children receive such training in the
public schools as to start them in the
way of earning living. In Boston and
in other large cities, the choirs draw
a portion of their singers from the
public schools. Music is more analag-
Gus to language than to any other
study. 1t should then be taught like a
language, and the method underlying
the teaching of this subject applies to
music. 1t is agreed by eminent phyco-
biologists that the faculties of the mind
are opened, first, through sense percep-
ton; second, through sense concep-
ton; third, through the imagination,
and fourth, reason
In the first stages of teaching any
subject, the senses of the child are to
be awakened, so that he may perceive
what he is to be taught.
When the child comes to school the
teacher introduces him to the object
which is to be taught, viz: Music.
The scale is taught by imitation. the
teacher giving the model in sound for
the children to initiate Not until the
reasoning faculties are awakened.

tanned for their study.
The aim of the public schools seems
to be to acquaint the pupils with the
style of the best writer's and with lit
crate in the broad acceptance OF the
term. So in music the best authors
should be studied. Mozart, Mendels-
sohn, Bach, Beethoven and other great
composers have been drawn upon for
compositions suited so the needs of
the public schools, and for this reason
this course commends itself to educat-
ors everywhere as most desirable.

SAVINGS DEPARTMENT.
First National Bank Will Open

This will be good thing, not di
rectly for the bank, but for the com
munity. In nearly every famil J
dimes, nickles, and even pennies art
too lightly regarded and needlessly
spent when, if means were handy t
have ''bank account" good many
, of them would be saved: As Mr.
Perkins, the president of the bank
says, the plan has not been adopted
by the bank for making money, but
for "the good it will do in encourag.
ing habits of economy and saving
among children and wage earners
and be a continual incentive in the
homes to lay aside little for future
need"
The plan is: The bank will furn.
ish, free CT charge, nickle plated
home bank safe to everyone who de-
posits at least So. Patrons take the
safes home and can take their accum
ulations to the bank as often as once
every three months. The safe can
only be opened at the bank. An ac'
count is kept with each depositor and
interest paid semi-annually at the
rate of six per cent. per annum
Money must be left at least three
months in order to draw interest

THIEVERY is
NUMEROUS,
Sheep, Chickens, Grain and
Harness are Being Stolen from
Various Quarters.

Thievery has been going to quite
an extent lately and appears to be
increasing with time.
Tuesday night a raid was made on
the barns of a number of farmers
living south of town. and from the
number of places visited, the thieves
must be intending to engage in the
harness business somewhere. Jacob
Kline, living on the Klaus farm, had
two sets of harness taken, G. A. Till.
ander one set, Mrs. P. Anton one sin
gle harness, Frank Smidt one set, land
George Doeden two set. Mr. Doeden
found one set on a fence on his farm
and the othe1 about a mile from his
farm, southwest in the road. The
thieves were tracked across the fields
to the road where all trace was lost.
About a week ago Mr.. Tillunder
had some sheep and heifer stolen
which were found in the possession of
a butcher at Sibley and recovered. II
is reported that the party selling
them was identified by party but
the purchaser denied buying them of
the person pointed out as the seller,
hence no action was taken in the mat
ter.
In this village there has been con-
siderable stealing of late. Within the
past few weeks, w. M. Evans had a
harness stolen from, his barn. R. W,
Moberly and others have had poultry
stolen, H. E. Torrance has had ti1no-
thy seed stolen from his elevator, a
farmer had the blankets stolen from
load of hay while he was on the
load, Harvey Shepard had the blanket
stole from his horse that was hitched
in front of his Office. There are 9th
or cases of similar character report
ed which show how prevelant this
thievery is and that it is the work of
an organized gang.
