SATURDAY, JULY IS, 1899.

TIE latest gossip concerning the
candidacy of John r. Mclean, OF
Washington and Cincinnati, for the
Ohio democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation, which is now being openly
pushed by Mr. Mclean himself, says
that Mclean has no idea OF being
elected governor of Ohio, but wishes
to use the state democratic machine
and the prominence that may be &C.
ouired as candidate to help him in
his fight to prevent Bryan getting the
presidential nomination again, 1t
was first said that Mr.. Mclean was
after second place on the Bryan tick
ct. but it now seems that his princl-
pal desire is that there shall be no
Bryan ticket. Incidentally he will
let it be known to all the democratic
strikers that he is willing to put sew
eral of his millions in circulation to
boost a Mclean ticket. 1t is said
that he has never forgiven Mr.. Bryan
for Directing to his being given sec
ond place on the ticket in $50, and that
he is determined to get even if pos
sible.

A representative of an eastern firm
was in Crookston Saturday to submit
a proposition for steam heating
plant which would heat the whole
city. The plan is to lay undergoing
pipes and transmit heat from a CEN

number of eastern cities and to be
proving very satisfactory, at least SO
far as business houses are concerned.

General, dressed in the uniform of his rank,

An Imported Snake Story.
Amarican 1
London Globe.

American inventors OF snake stories must
look to their laurels; the educated Bengali
has entered into competition, and Judging
from tho sample given in good faith by a
native paper at Calcutta, he will be hard
to beat. Some time back the lovely daugh-
ter of wealthy Zemindar was bitten by a
cobra and died in the course of a few hours.
As her remains were being conveyed to
the Ganges for Sepulture a passing patri-
arch of reverend mien proposed that he
should be allowed to experiment with re-
suscitation. AS he bore high reputation
as a professor of occult science the sorrow
ing relatives heartily consented. The
sage then obtained three cOwries, and after
praying very energetically threw the shells
on the ground. Instantly one disap-
peared and the spectators were wondering
what had become of it when Il huge cobra
burst out of the adjacent jungle, bearing
the missing coWrie on its forehead. 1t
must have been a humble sort of reptile,
for when ordered by the sage to suck the
wound on the deceased lady it at once COM
piled, and then died to save further trouble.
Within an hour its human victim had quite
recovered and went on merrily with her
husband and relatives, none the worse for
her little adventure.
Such was the marvellous treatment"
says the narrator, "of the peasant Moula
Bux, professor of the occult science, which,
with the spread of the so-called Western
had almost died cat of the
land"
