hs would be killed. but how soon. Lieutenant Lynch came over. to me and shouted.
 "Its sure death either way. but we will make for home. You take charge of the rear" And of we started. try ing feebly to give yell. We were Handicapped by our disabled men Corporal Rexner and Private Benner- and our native guide Dewey" TSe insurgents began to close in on us, but retreated slowly. firing volley after vol ley and holding them in check. At one place we were in very great danger 3n account of our difficulty in getting Private Benner of Bennington. Kan, through the underbrush. He begged us to leave him and escape, but of course that was not considered for minute. After about twenty minutes of lighting and retreating we began to be more hopeful, and can assure you there never was more welcome sight than the stone wall of our barracks, when the insurrectos finally dropped aud we reached home in safety with none killed and only three seriouely wounded. Every man has some mark of the awful ordeal to which we were subjected for forty minutes as timid by our men at Helongos, who could hear the shooting quite plainly. Each man has some article of clothing or equip ment with one or more bullet holes in 1t which he is saving as a memento of the worst experience of his life. We have doubled the guard in anticipation of an attack, as the insurrectos seemed to have more nerve and skill than ever before in our experience. We expect endorsements soon and will then probably have 1t out with them."

the British buGologist, but we opine that 1t is our old friend cimex lectularius, alias the bed bug, whose ancestors, there ts much reason to believe, were created on the same day the world was, and began closely asociating with mankind. habit which the progeny of the original cimex have rigidly adhered to since that time. The cimex lectularius is not as large or as handsome as the cockroach, but as a pioneer of civilization 1t has no equal. Like the faithful dog, 1t follows man to the ends of the earth and assists in the establishment of colonies. Its patrlousm cannot be questioned, for 1t goes wner- ever the flag goes. and today can pc found in large numbers in the frozen re gions of Alaska, where other bugs oare not attempt to live.
 It is the only insect that has velvet rect. The crawling of a flea, cockroacn, or an ant produces a tickling sensation. put 2 cimex lectularius can promenaoe on 2 mans skin from the tip of his nose to the tips of his toes without causing the slightest noise or feeling. It never ven lures out fin search of food or Tor exer. else without wearing its marveiously sort golQshes. therefore its presence Is never kno1Nn until 1t begins to bore for OH. m the matter of antiquity the cimex iecttk 1ariJH holds the record, but the cockroacn is a close second. and to both or them mankind will have to doff their hats.

DEBT OF THE CITY
The Mayor and Aldermen are Con sidering Advisability of Borrow
 ing Money.

The Mayor and Aldermen are Con
 sidering Advisability of Borrow
 ing Money.
 The city government of Montgomery is confronted with deficit in the fund for the ordinary running ex- penses of the city, and it is said some means must be provided to meet it.
 A number of Aldermen favor the is- suance of bonds to meet the require ments, while others think that 1t can be delayed awhile and with the money on hand and with what the Mayor can borrow the expenses can be met until August and then for the two months to the end of the fiscal year a small amount of bonds can be sold and the city tide over into another fiscal year.
 The opinion is that there is not much difference between issuing bonds and borrowing the money outright. It is probable that a higher rate of interest will have to be paid for borrowed money than for bonds. In this event 1t is not thought that it would be the wisest financiering to fail to issue bonds. The Mayor and the Finance Committee of the Council have the matter under consideration and will soon determine what is best to be dene.
 It Is a fact, as Mayor Joseph said to the Council at a recent meeting, that the bonded debt of the city is now in the neighborhoodt of the value of the taxable property, and for that reason the Council is hesitating about making the debt larger.

Representative Novelists,

Speaking of George w. Cable, The Warner Library says that if he had written nothing more than his first
 small volume of seven tales he would have made for himself an honored place in literature. Yet, how many other splendid efforts stand to his credit, "The Grandissimes." "Dr. Sevier," John March, Southerner,' and "Bonaventure," by which latter charming tale he is. represented in the great distribution now going on at The Advertiser office under the auspices of the International Association of News papers and Authors.

A Book Mystery.

Although this is the happy era of cheap books, it may nevertheless at first seem quite unusual to find you can secure a practical reproduction of a $1.25 or $1.50 copyrighted volume for only 25 cents-printed from the same plates. on as good paper, handsomely bound in cloth, about the same size as the expensive edition, just as good to read and about as attractive to look at, for one quarter instead of five quar- ters. There's really not much mystery about 1t, as you will see by reading the announcement of the International As sociation of Newspapers and Authors, on page 8 of this issue. If any doubt remains, visit the book department at The Advertiser office and see the vol umes themselves. sun-tf.

MT. Kaelin's Snake Mine.

Indianapolis News.
 A strip of abandoned land east of Jeffersonville. Ind, is alive with snakes, some of the reptiles measuring feet in length. The field belongs to Frank Kaelin. W. w. Lyon, a civil engineer, was running the boundaries of few days ago. that the land might be fenced and abandoned his work. Kaelin went to the field to build the fence. The sun was warm. and the ground seemed to be covered with the crawling reptiles. Men who were with Kaelin charged on the snakes with clubs and killed stsVenty-flve. while many escaped. The fence was finally huilt. but the workmen frequently stop ped to wage a war of extarmination on the snakes. Then Kaelin's son started to blow up the ground. and the first turrow turned up snakes of all sizes. A large one took refuge under one of the horses. coiling around the animals legs. The hoy killed sixteen snakes.

 in Comparison.

New Orleans Daily states. o.,
 THose citizens of New Orleans who can ..lna tbeir ancestry back to the landing of efafd Bienvilie are more sprouts in the gar den of the universe. The humble but un- annreciated coekroach can proudly boast of an antiquity far beyond the widest dreams of the most arrogant of the oid families of Louisiana. MT. Goss' the eml- nent British bugologlst, declares that the coekroach, the father of all black beetles. walked the earth millions of years before and chipped spear heads and battle axes out of blocks of flint. MT. Goss says his discoveries have established the fact that inc cockroach fourished in the Silurian period, which no doubt accounts for the extremely ancient smell which the roach carries in its clothing and freely dissem- mates without excepting thanks or re- wards But Mir. Goss further explains that the remains of what is probably a still older insect were found in the lower Silurian in Sweden, and it was much less winning in it's ways than the cockroach.
 This insect is not named or described by

WEEKLY CONCERTS.

A petition is being generally signed
by the citizens and taxpayers Of Mari
eta favoring an appropriation by City
Council for weekly evening concerts
in Muskingum Park during the elcoming
summer. This move deserves to sue
ceed-the expense will be comparative
ly small, while the pleasure to be de-
rived therefrom will be most enjoyable.
The petition which will be presented
to Council reads as follows:
The undersigned, citizens and tax
payers of this city, believing that the
holding of weekly concerts during the
summer in Muskingum Park will be OF
great benefit to the public in general,
and that the expense of conducting the
same should fall upon the public in
stead of upon a few citizens, hereby re
spectfully petition your Honorable
body to make an appropriation suffl
cient to insure the holding of concerts
once a week during the summer season.
Similar appropriations are made IL
other cities of this and other States,
including our neigboring, city of Park
ersburg. -

IMPORTANT DECISION.

The suit of G. E. Peoples. publisher
Of the Pomeroy Democrat, to compel
the Commissioners of Meigs County to
publish a correct report of their finan-
cial transactions in accordance with
the amended law, occupied the Circuit
Court Thursday afternoon, the Com
missioners being represented by Judges
]. P. Bradbury and d. A. Russell and
the editor by Oliver Bradbury and
Manning Webster.
The Court. in it's decision delivered
by Judge Sibley found the report defec-
tive, holding that it should contain
every transaction of the Commission
ers in respect to which they were re-
quired to take action, and that it
should show to whom and for what
purpose every dollar was expended,
and should not contain other matters.
Consequently the mandamus COM
pelling the Commissioners to perfect
their report was granted. Gallipolis

Monday evening the Board of Water
Works Trustees met with Consulting
Engineer Davis to consider the esti.
mates that are being made for the con-
templated extension of the water sys-
tenn of Marietta. AS has been stated
in the Leader from time to time. the
proposition is to erect new tanks
which, it must be admitted. are great
ly needed. The present daily con
sumption is such as to demand imme
diate action in favor of more and better
water for our city. 1t is to be hoped
that the result of the vote to be taken
at the regular April election will be
favorable to the extension.
