"THE JAIL Bird"
Some Truths About Nicely, the EN-
bezzler of Cuban Postal Funds.

Some Truths About Nicely, the EN-
bezzler Of Cuban Postal Funds.
Charles F. w. Nicely of Muncie, who
was recently arrested for defrauding
the government of Cuba, and who by
the lavish misuse of money has prac-
tically confessed to unauthorized
fraud and crokedness, is the same
crook who attempted to break up the
meeting of Eugene v. Debs, held in
Muncie in 1896, says the Indianapolis
Union. He got together all the hood
lums of the city, the riffraff of political
skunks, running sores, scabs, union
traitors and all the two-legged cattle
that he could control and marched
them up to the court house square
where Debs was striking shoulder
|against government by injunction. At
last Nicely got his gang to shout
Jail Bird" but the Jail bird contin-
ued. He has continued ever since, and
today the Cuban night owl, 'k'hose
dark lantern methods viii not bear the
light of day, is under suspense in an
ticipation of federal prison, where
'the people" will not go wild over his
release as they did when the jail bir2
of Woodstock was given his liberty.
Somewhere the Scripture tells us that
the last shall be first and the, first shall
be last. Get ready, Mr.. Nicely; it is
your turn to be last

KEPT A SNAKE IN HIS BOSOM.
Ma ssa chusetts Man Shared His LIZ

Man Shared His Lot
With a Blacksnake.
For four months Arthur Hamel has
slept in the same bed, sat in the same
chair and shared his meals with a
three-foot striped blacksnake, says a
dispatch from Holyoke, Mass. When
Hamel was arrested here for the
Amesbury police the officer at the sta
ton, upon searching the prisoners
pockets, was frightened nearly out Of
his wits when the man pulled the
snake from his bosom in response to
the policeman's inquiry if he had "any
dangerous weapons about him."
Il haven't any weapons" Hamel
calculated. but L have this fellow"
and he made move to pass the reptile
to the turkey, who shrank back in
terror. The snake coiled about its mas
!ter's hand and swung its head defiantly
at the b1uecoat.
Hamel said he had carried the reptile
in his shirt bosom for four months He
gave it the freedom of his body. Some
times he was more lively than others
and would amuse both himself and
master by gliding in and out of Hamels
sleeve or pants leg and sometimes he
would wind himself around Hamers
neck and enjoy quiet sleep.
When on the street the snake usually
wound himself around the mans waist
belt fashion. Hamel feeds his pet
bread and milk. He got him in Yer
mont and says he was prescribed by
physician to cure stomach trouble.

LOOKS LIKE a TAME FOURTH.
West Duluth Will Have the Formal
Celebration.

Celebration.
Fourth Of July is but a few weeks off
but no plans have been formulated as
to it's celebration. 1t was at first in
tended that there would be a large
parade in the morning and in the
afternoon there would be music and
speech making. The Sons of the Revo-
luton We're to have charge of the
celebration but their arrangements
have not come to a head. 1t has been
about decided that there will be no reg
ular program mapped out. DR.. Forbes
was to have spoken but the West Du-
luth committee have secured his SER
vices and that end Of the town will
do the day for the whole community
One feature of the Glorious Fourth
will have to be dispensed with this
year and that is the shooting of the
large cannon crackers. The council
passed an ordinance Monday night
forbidding the use Of any fire crackers
over six inches in length. within the
city limits. This will be sad news to
the small boy and many grown up peo-
pie who will have to be content with
the shooting of roman candles, pin
wheels and ordinary crackers. Store
keepers are not allowed to sell the
large explosives unless knowing posi-
lively that they will not be used with
in the limits of the city. 1t is likely
that the day will be observed in much
the same manner as last year when
most Of the people visited the nearby
resorts and spent the day in picnicing.
There will be number of large
picnics and many smaller private
parties will go to the interior lakes to
spend the day in quiet enjoyment.
Many parents will take their families
to the woodland resorts near the city
where they can spend the day with
their children. The noise and hurrah
that has always been closely associated
with Fourth Of July will be missing to
some extent this year.
