her. The animal got tired of this
after five or six miles of travel, be-
came nervous, and ran and tipped
the ladies into a ditch, hurting them
quite badly and breaking the car

Charley Heilerman Of Cassville re-
turned to his home yesterday after
working at his trade in this vicinity
since early last spring. He is an ex-
pert and faithful workman and could
have remained much longer with
steady employment, but work prom

John Metcalf, Charley Jamison and
Berney Taylor left today for the har-
vest fields of Minnesota, where hands
are reported to be much in demand
and wages high. There is. however,
great demand for laborers here and

Ritner Stephens had valuable
horse bitten by RATHER last week,
and Grant Lancaster and his little dog
had a battle with three rattlers last
week, the casualties footing up one
dead dog, two dead snakes, and Grant
and one snake escaping. They are
very plenty this season, and as they
always make their advent when the
blackberry crop is on, are regarded
with disfayor by the berry pickers,
and we agree with Charley Shappell
that there should be a bounty offered
for their destruction, and that the on
ly way to get it is to box up about a
dozen good healthy rattlers and turn
them loose in the court room when
the county board meets next fall and
let them agree on the bounty question

county sanhedrin in their own stamp

Hopeless Discontent.

The gripman on Q cable car. having slowed up for truck that could not get off the track because of the heavy traffic on his right side, began to stamp his gong The truokman looked over his shoulder, and his mouth moved actively. No one on the car could hear what he said. But the gripman glanced at the conductor and grinned. Then he rang some more. When the driver turned and worked his mouth again, the grip man took up the cable and hit the truck a gentle bump. That seemed to infuriate the driver. and he stood up, waved his whip, and obviously he was talking back The gripman rammed his truck a little harder. then quite hard, and again he winked at the conductor.
 "There's fun in every business" said a passenger on the rear platform to the conductor.
 'There is in all but mine.'
 Then he sprang from the platform and ran to the aid of the gripman, who was being thrashed by the driver. He and policeman saved the gripman's . other eye.-New York Commercial Ad- yertisar-

 General Henry withdrew his order re- voking Spanish concessions in the is- land of Porto Rico owing to legal objec- tions to the order.
 The navy department has decided to send 400 enlisted men to Admiral Dew ey to serve as crews for the Spanish cruisers captured at Manila.

 President Mckinley issued an order regulating the financial system of Cuba and fixing the standard of values on a gold basis.
 Father Chadwick, the chaplain of the i'll fated Maine, has been assigned to the Washington navy yard and will enter upon his new duties Thursday.
 The war Investigating commission Thursday made public the statements of many army officers supplied by Gen. eral Miles in substantiation of his charge that bad beef was furnished to the army.
 From dispatches received in Wash ington from Admiral Dewey and Gen. eral Otis at Manila 1t is indicated that the situation at Iloilo, the capital of the island or Panay, is extremely critical. General Rios, the Spanish commander, recently surrendered the city and prov ince to the Filipino insurgents before the American forces arrived. GeneSul Miller was sent to Iloilo with a consid- erable force with instructions to induce the Fflipinos to lay down their artus. which, up to the time latest adyices were received, they refused. Apparent ly no overt act of hostility between the American and Filipino forces had oc- cured, and the Washington authorities think that serious trouble will be avert ed through the tact and firmness of our commanders In the Philippines.
