only a few months ago, when the
country was in dire DISTRESS we were
compelled to pay nine millions of dol

premature to criticise the Secretary's

party and the Cabinet were practically
contemroraneous. We must accept the
situation In my opinion. the great
majority of the members of the Repub-
lican rarty are bimetallists, and the
fact that they are misrepresented by a
Cabinet officer is not pleasing. but it is
endurable. The selection of the men,

Presidents own affair. and so long as
he stands upon the question of bimet-

Where the Doorknop was.

We are not much on the snake story
business, but on last Friday evening
we, with perhaps 90 other people in
PinevilIe, saw sight almost incredible.
For months past the hens nests on the
premises of j. n. Taylor. on Little Sug-
ar creek, have been systematically rob-
bed. Early in May the owner placed in
the nests, with the shank end down,
white doorknobs for nest eggs. Soon
these began to disappear from the nests.
being found some distance away, but
one disappeared entirely. Last Friday
Mr.. Taylor's boys were out hunting and
the dog freed a big black snake about a
quarter of mile from the house, and
Jay shot it. 1t looked queer to the boys.
and on examination they found it had
swallowed the missing doorknob and
that the shank had worked out through
the side of the reptile after passing back
just two feet from the head. The snake
was five feet long, and had swallowed
the knob in May. How it lived with
this hard substance in its intestines.
and especially after the iron shank had
worked out through the side of its body.
is a mystery that we are not snakeoIo-
gist enough to solve.-Pineville Demo

"Brutalizins and Infamous

RAILROAD COMING.
THE INDIANA SOUTHERN
HURRYING ITS SUR

Toward This City, With the Implied
Promise That it Will be Here
Within q Year.

Thomas j. Newkirk, when asked for
railroad news this morning, said:
Il can say that surveys of the road
between Westport and Beeson's are
now being made, and estimates of the
cost ascertained, that is the old surveys
are being gone over, and soon as the

reason to believe that the Indiana
Southern railway will come to Rich
mond, not on paper. but on new steel
rails next year; bat have no autaoi :
ity yet to make any public declaration
that such is positively the fact.
Mr.. Walsh is business mar,
who does but little talking, and
rs he puts his own money in his enter
prises ne is going to see what is to be-
come of it. 1t must be remembered
that to build this road direct from
Greersburg to Richmond requires the
construction of 50 miles OF railroad
without striking any town of any con-
sequence, and TO go any other route
makes it necessary to parallel other
railroads. Either holn OF this dilemma
is hard enough to take hold of, but in
my opinion the situation will be met"
There are private assurances that the
road is actually coming.

reference TO recent meeting between
Baron Banffy and former prime min

the hand of his predecessor he alluded
to the accusations of the Opposition and
remarked: "Ah. count, you were mere

than that. / am a thief and traitor

CURRENT MISCELLANY

Quite recently, while holding court
at the royal palace upon the Brda hill.
overlooking the Danube, Francis Joseph
received in audience a Magyar black
smith named Kovacs James, VINO desired
to thank his king for the decoration
conferred on him in recognition OF his
having invented an agricultural ma
chine During the audience the black
smith drew from his pocket two photo
graphs, representing the king and queen,
and said. handing them TO his majesty,
MAY ask your majesty and also the
queen for your Signatures
"And why?" demanded the king
smilingly.
well, you see, when ! die. the cross
of merit which your majesty has given
me will have to be returned and my
children will at least have your maJes-

you my signature at the present mo-
ment, for 1 have neither pen nor pencil

said the smith, handing the monarch
the article in question. The king there
upon attached his signature to the photo
graph and dismissed the smith with a
smile and his customary inclination OF
the head. To the kings surprise, the
smith made no attempt to retire, but
stood his ground.

you?" asked the monarch
Yes. your majesty. l am waiting
