Sioux City. Oct. S.-The body OF the
train robber who was shot and killed
by Charles Baxter, a nervy express
messenger, near Council Bluffs last
Wednesday night, will arrive in Sioux
city probably today. The remains are
not being sent here because the dead
man had honored Sioux City by making
1t his home, but because no one has
claimed the remains, and they are to
be dissected by the Sioux City College
OF Medicine.
The state laws require that authors
ties into whose keeping come unknown
bodies report such cases to DR.. j. F.
Kennedy, secretary Of the state board
OF health. If the body be not claimed
within reasonable length OF time the
secretary directs that it be sent to one
OF the state medical institutions. DIR.
William Jepeon, Of this city, has been
notified by DR.. Kennedy that the body
OF the dead bandit will be sent to the
Sioux College OF Medicine in his care,
the Council Bluffs authorities having
been notified by him to make such dis
position OF the corpse.

Usage, Oct. S.-Conference opened at
9 o'clock Friday morning for the busi-
ness session, Bishop Hurst In the chair.
Bishop Hurst is known to be the most
learned man in the United States, but
ne 's not pleasing presiding officer.
Some OF the committees gave prelimi-
nary reports. DR.. Jennings, OF the Chi
cago Book Concern, was introduced. He
spoke largely on the papers published
by that concern and especially the
Northwestern Advocate, which has
circulation OF Is, 900. The profits Of the
book concern are in the job department,
not in the papers published for the
church.
The bishop gave his address to the
Eclass that will be admitted into the
conference in full membership. He adj
vised them not to neglect the poor and
disagreeable people. Must not allow
yourself to make any choice among the
people. Must feel that the poor need
your help first. Christ has promised to

this tube gets infiamed you have a

Is the result, and unless the infam-

restored TO its normal condition, hear

DEADLY SNAKES.
various Signs bv which Their Character
May Be Recognized.

To distinguish between venomous
and harmless snakes is easy in prac
tice. but 1t is difficult to explain In
words alone, as there is no one exter.
nal characteristic which distinguishes
them. 1t Is rather a peculiar varying
union of many separate marks that
brands the dangerous reptile.
Generally speaking, all snakes may
he divided into two great classes
! those which have the head covered
with numerous small scales and those
= which have It covered with large, reg.
/ ularly fitted plates. Leaving out the
elipidae and the poisonous sea of
snakes, with which the hunter will
have nothing to do. all snakes with
small head scales move about by
night and those with large plates on
the head by day. This may be known
by their eyes. for the first have vertical
pupils like the cats, while those of
the latter are generally circular In
form. The long. active day snake,
gliding about from bush to bush, or
hurriedly taking refuge beneath some
protruding rock or tree stump,is harm.

instead of fleeing, gathers himself
closer together, Is most probably dan.
gerous, particularly If he be more or
less marked with suggestion of lrreg.
ular crossbars of whltish or dirty vel.
low and darker brown or blackish.
This is the characteristic coloring Of
our most dangerous snakes. the rattler,
the copperhead and the moccasin.
The following points embrace all tho
peculiarlties of our American vipers,
and the last two are especially note
worthy as the crowning proofs OF
venom:
Cd Moving about at dusk or by night.
generally on the ground. and very
rarely ascending trees or bushes. (2)
Seldom flying in alarm. but rather
coiling for defence. CD Colors gener.
ally subdued in tint with semblance
of Irregular crossbars of lighter and
darker shades. q) Tail short, body
stout, neck thin. head flat and very
broad, especially behind (5) Scales

Two long, curved, perforated fangs in
the upper jaw just in front of the
eye, one on either side, and so hinged

may be found in harmless snakes, but
