The Return of A. p. German.

The return of Mr.. German to the SEN

and especially to the Democratic side.
The eighteen years of continuous service
in the senate, which WIS broken two
years ago by the entrance of Senator
McComas as his Republican successor,
gave him an experience and influence of
value to his party and to the senate as 81

manager, never rash, but using his in

great respect by his colleagues On beth

that account able to accomplish much
more than could be effected by q less

Guesses About the aIessage.

There is one continued guessing at this
time on the part of some of the Wash
ington correspondents as to what Presi-
dent Roosevelt will say in his message
to congress when it convenes next
month. The material on which most of
these guesses are based consists of the
interviews had by him from time to time
with prominent Republicans. The sub
jeet of conversation of the president and
each visitor is guessed at, sometimes in
correctly, and then it is assumed that the
views of the visitor concerning the SUD
ject supposed to have been discussed will
be reproduced faithfully in the forth
coming message Thus it has been said
at one time that the president VIII ad,
vocate strenuously the ratification Of
reciprocity treaties, and at another that
he will treat the subject in a colorless
way. because in one case men who are
known to be for reciprocity and in an
other men known to be against 1t had
called on him.-Chieago Tribune.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Of Engineer ott Farmer of Vanderbilt
 Furnace.

Ott Farmer, chief engineer Of the Wander bilt furnace of the Tutwiler Coal and Iron Company, three miles north of the city
 had a miraculous escape from death yes- terday and one that he will long remember
 It seems that the signal for slack was given at the furnace and he had stopped one engine and was in the act of stepping over to the other when he lost his footing and fell between them and upon or into an immense 10-foot ly-wheel which revolves through an opening in the floor just large enough to allow Its passage. With rare presence of mind he grasped one of the immense spokes and managed to hug close to the wheel, at the same time giving the alarm. His cries were heard by Assistant Engineer White, who sprang to the lever and stopped the other engine in time to prevent the hy-wheel from coming up through the opposite side of the floor. As

est and Stream.

From Forest and Stream.
 Having spent over year among the na- tive hunters and farmers of the most prim- itive mountain region of Southwestern Ar kansas, where the number of poisonous snakes was uncountable, including the cop perhead, mountain or timber rattlesnake, the rock or diamond-back rattlesnake upon the uplands or mountains (and while write l can lift my eyes to the skin of a diamond back upon the wall of my office AZ feet long without the head or tail, which, sporting seventeen rattles, fell before the muzzle of my Winchester just as he was about to spring at me, which speaks for the size of some of the larger specimens of the upland regions), the bottoms along the streams be- ing plentifully supplied with cotton-mouths. water moccasins and various kinds of ad- derS, it follows an axiom that many persons are often bitten by a snake, and the native simple way of treating il learn ed in this way:
 One of the natives and were. hunting mineral outcrops on the Boar's Tusk noun tain in June, 1896, whe nwe came upon a 'huckleberry patch and began ga lnering and eating the ripe berries. My guide caution ed me to be on the lookout for snakes, say ing: Them cussed varmints hide under the huckleberry bushes to catch the birds when they come to feed the berries,'' and 1 was very careful but he was not, for l soon heard sharp cry from him. and on looking at him saw him throw up his left hand and arm in the air and shake off and throw to some distance a diamond-back which had struck him midway of his left fore-1nger. While I was scared as badly as if I myself had been bitten, the hunter drew his knife and made two quick cuts on the finger, so that it bled freely, and began stripping his finger to force the blood out of the cuts. He then took piece of com mon alum out of his pocket and bit off piece as large as sood-sized chestnut and chewed it up and swallowed 1t, and then he bit off and chewed fine another piece of al- um, which he placed upon his cut finger and tied up with piece of rag torn from the bottom of his home-spun cotton shirt, and then he hunted up and killed the snake, and he again began gathering and eating berries, to my surprise
 In answer to my question as to the need of going to town to consult a doctor, he said: 'The blood runnin' from the cuts took out all the pizen but if 1t didn't all git out, the alum will fix 1t, but them cuts will give me a sore finger for day or two" he result was no swelling of even the fin- ger, and he said that if man would al- ways cut through the bite and let the blood out and take alum, there was no danger from the bite of any snake.

Crime in the United States.

From the Chicago Tribute.
 The statistics of homicida in the United States for 1900 are not encouraging. From 1895 to 1899 there was a steady decrease year by year, the totals falling from 10,5O0 to 6225, but this year the reports show a total of S.275, an increase over last year of 2,050. If next year the figures increase propor- tionately the first year of the new century will be as largely marked by crime as was 1895. From the present outlook the indica- tons are that the record of the coming year will be even darker, for human life was never held cheaper than at the pres ent time, and hanging and lynching make u...e impression. Rudyard Kipling was not far out of the way when he said that mur- der was the national crime of the United States.

SANFORD FAILS TO
 ISSUE ACQUISITION Records of Indictments Against
 Williams Are Lost KILLED JAS. BOSWELL IN 1891 Escaped from Wetumpka Jail in Most Mysterious Manner, and Was Next Heard from in Butte,
 Montana.

Age-Herald Bureau, Clanceys Hotel, Montgomery, January 4.-(Special. )-Gov- ernor Sanford today refused to issue requi- sition papers for R. G. Douglas, alias Eld- ridge Williams, whose arrest at Butte, Mont, was told in the Associated Press dis patches last night. As stated in the dis patches, Williams killed James Boswell in Elmore County in 1891, the murder causing much excitement in the neighborhood.
 Sheriff Robbins of Elmore several days ago received notification by wire that Will Hams was in the custody of the sheriff in Montana, and he has been at the capital several times to see the Governor, attempt ing to secure requisition papers.
 Upon investigation of the case it was ascertained in the Governors office that the page in the record books of Fillmore County upon which had been recorded the indictment against Williams had been re- moved. Without some record of the indict- ment the governor could not issue the papers asked for by the sheriff. It will be necessary for the grand jury to find an- ether indictment before Williams can be brought back to Alabama to answer the charge of murder.

Story of the Crime.

The story of Williams crime-his mur- der of Boswell-his arrest and his myster1 ous escape from jail, were matters of dn- tense interest to the people of Fillmore County during the latter part of 1891 and early in 1892.
 At neishborhood gathering near Central in the fall of 1891 hot words passed between Boswell and Williams but friends inter- ferred and it was thought the matter was settled, when, almost without warning, Williams seized Boswell by the beard and slashed his throat with a keen knife, kill ing him almost instantly. Williams was captured shortly after and placed in jail at Wetumpka, where he remained for sew eral months awaiting trial in the Circuit Court There was much indignation ex- pressed among the people of the county at the murder and wild threats of lynchdng were made, but it was decided to let the law take it's course.
 One morning in the spring of 1892 Will lams cell in the jail was found empty. The bird had flown and all trace of him wiped out. He left an address of farewell to the people of the county, and this letter was printed in the county paper. No bars of the jail had been sawed, no locks broken, nor was there any evidence of the method of escape, and it was finally decided that Williams had found liberty through the aid of some one with power to unlock the jail doors.
 There was intense indignation over the escape and diligent efforts were made to recapture Williams, but in spite of big re- wards by both State and ciHzens, he has remained free until the present, when he is caught on his own confession while in jail for wife beating.
