A RArTLESNAKE EATER

Moses Henderson is sable son of
Africa and lives two miles from Amer
icus in rocky field. Moses makes
living by capturing snakes and SELL
ing them. Whenever he cannot sell
them he eats them. This is the truth,
as strange as ii may seem. Last week
he killed large one with eleven rat
ties on it. This was a fat snake and
Moses ate it. The other day he
brought very large snake to the city,
trying to sell it's hide There were
% rattles on 1t. The snake was very
poor and Moses said 1t would not do
to eat, and stuffed its hide and sold
it for good price. Every year
Moses makes good deal of money
selling snake oil. He says right down
the vertebrae of a rattlesnake is
fatty steak of flesh that makes an oil,
when fried, that will cure any case of
rheumatism. 1t is strange to how
many people he sells this rheumatic
snake OIL He has long list of GER
tificates from people he has cured.
Some OF them are from intelligent
whites, who declare that the oil has
cured when all other remedies have
failed. He sells vial of the oil for
one dollar and guarantees lasting
cure. Moses says his father was an
African hoodoo doctor and taught
him how to cure all aches and pains
with snake oil. The negroes OF Sum-
ter county vcnerate and fear him as
all else fails, and look upon his snake
oil as something enchanted.-Savan-

Iron Workmen on New College
Building Quit.
Iowa City. Nov. 1S.-Another strike is
on at the state university collegiate
building and this time every ironworker
on the building has quit work and
things in that branch of the work are
at a standstill. The cause of it all is a
frightful accident which occurred on
the work this morning. The ironwork-
ers were engaged in putting up the
mammoth floor beams of the second
story and the work was progressing
finely when one of their number made
a misstep and fell. He plunged head
long to the hard cellar floor, fully
thirty-five feet below, and as he fell
he strack against the beams of the first
floor about fifteen feet below. He was
injured seriously and taken to Mercy
hospital for treatment and his wounds
attended to. 1t is thought he is Injured
internally and doubt is expressed If he
will recover from the accident.
Shortly after the accident the iron
foreman went to the superintendent of
the building and demanded that the
first floor be covered with plank and
more scaffolding for the protection of
the ronworkers be erected. This de-
mand was not acted upon and words
took place between the foreman and the
superintendent resulting in the fore
mans discharge When the action OF
the superintendent was reported to the
iron workers every man on the job
walked out and most of them have re-
turned to their homes in Chicago. re-

trace Of opiates, narcotic or mineral
poisons and which may be depended
upon as certain cure mot merely re-
lief in any form of piles, whether
itching, blind, bleeding or protruding.
Some Of the hundreds Of cures recently
made are little short Of miraculous, as

writes: II have used box of Pyramid
Pile Cure and received more benefit and
relief than from any remedy had used
in the past twenty-five years."

Clinton, Nov. 1S.-A romance has just

like a fairy tale than true story.
Fifteen years ago Mrs. s. L. Potter, of
this city, separated from her husband,
one Gruber, who took with him their
only child, beautiful little
lgirl of years. During all
this time the mother has
been trying to secure trace Of her
missing daughter, but failed to learn
her whereabouts. In the meantime the
| little girl had grown to womanhood,
married and now has family of her
own. AS soon as the daughter learned
| the true state of affairs she commenced
to nunt for her mother and never aban-
doned the search until finding her par
lent from whom she was separated
many years ago, Notwithstanding the
| fact that she often pleaded with her
father to tell her what had become OF
her mother. The family moved to
| Portland, where they now reside. A
few weeks ago sister of Gruber was
on her death bed and to her the dis
Itracted woman appealed for informa-
| ton relative to her mother. AT first the
dying woman refused to divulge the Sc
cret, but the pleadings of the young
woman We're so pathetic that she told
