Mr.. Fitch made a lengthy speech, deal
ing with the history of the two great po-
litical parties. His wit and sarcastic ref
erences to the Democratic party called
forth frequent applause. He congratu-
lated the Republican party. upon the cleo
ton of the best president the country has
had since Abraham Lincoln and referred
to the vice presidential NOMINEES as that
rare combination of conscience and cour-
age that had always led his followers to
victory" He said that Democracy always
opposed Republicanism, regardless of the
principle involved. He said all those who
desired to vote the soldiers out of. the
Philippines, to vote So cents out of the
dollar and vote the working man out of
a job, could crafty themselves by voting
the Democratic ticket.

Kansas Snake Eater Careless and a
Diamond Rather Got Him.

Baxter Springs. Kan. Sept. 4-"Bosco,"
the famous .'snake-eater," is lying at the
point of death in this city from the bite
of a diamond RATHER. Bosco was one of
the attractions at the big reunion last
week, and was drawing immense crowds
till Thursday. when the snake struck him
on the arm. penetrating a vein. He was
Immediately put under the care of Dr.
Dewitt of this city, but has been in q
critical condition ever since, and Is not
likely to recover.
Bosco stands at the head of his pro-
fession as a snake eater. He not only
eats live snakes. but goes barelegged into
a den of fifty ra~ttlesnakes, permits them
to bite him anywhere on his body and
hangs them by their fangs ont his arms.
He received q consignment of rattlers
every week from Texas, as some die every
day, either from confinement or bites 1t
is understood the poison is extracted from
these snakes, but as that is replenished
every week or ten days. they must be OPP
Grated on quite frequently. 1t is supposed
a snake had been put in the den which
had not been cared for or that the men in
charge were careless in not removing the
poison.
Bosco has become quite familiar to the
people of southeast Kansas, and southwest
Missouri, and his big m~egaphone with the
hoarSe cry of Have you seen Bosco,"
and you'll have to hurry!" has startled
thousands of timid women and children.

Assistant City Attorney Latest Object
For Attack.

1t appears that before h affairs are
settled in the police department every
official connected Herewith will be
charged with some wroEgdoing. It Is
now Assistant City Attorney Gregg's
turn.
This morning the rumor was in circu-
lation that Mr.. Gregg would resign his
position as assistant city attorney be-
cause there would be charges filed
against him if he did not. The charges
mentioned were notifying some Of the
jointists when the police intended max
ing a raid. and giving a list Of witnesses
to Cyrus Ogee, q fee buyer, before the
cases were called.
Mr.. Gregg said, when told of the ru-
NOR: You can say that L am not going
to resign and 1 do not care how strong
you make it. 1 think I know who start
ed the stories and there is nothing in
them They were told with the idea that
it would injure me, but I have nothing
to fear. I have heard several other
stories which have no foundation.
Il was approached by a jointist who
told me that I was to blame for the last
raids and that if he was again arrested
he would fix me. He was arrested the
next day. Several Of the Jointists have
said they would get my job but 1
him the will succeed"
