Driven from Home by Snakes.

Nuns Helgerson, who lived with
Crawford county, tore down his new
residence built two years ago, and
moved back into his old home half
u mile away The new home had
hardly been completed when the
presence of rattesnakes WAS noticed
and the reptiles were dispatched as
fast as they We're discovered. With
the summer approaching they grew
very numerous and the household
were terrified. Occasionally one got
into the house, and while none of the
family were bitten, they were con
stantly filled with fear of the danger
Gus reptiles. One evening, as the fam
lily We're retiring for the hight, the
mother found Il large snake lying on
the bed; another time in midday,
while rocking the baby to sleep, the
house cat gave the alarm and rat
tier coiled and ready TO strike lay
under the woman's chair. 1t was no
unusual occurrence to find them in
the cellar and hear them climbing
in between the walls and in the cell
ING overhead. Last summer the fam
lily could stand it no longer, and as
soon as spring opened up moved to
the old home, but returned in the
fall. A rattlesnake's den was found
this spring in a small cave close by,
and although hundreds of the rep
tiles have been killed around the
door yard they seemed to be just as
numerous as ever, and Mr.. Helger-
son decided to tear down the build
ing and rebuild it near the site of
the old log house on the other side
of the farm.

primitive Methodist Conference i.

Report to Dodgeville Chronicle:
The 58th annual session Of West
ern Conference Of the Primitive
Methodists of Wisconsin and Hi :.
nois, convened at Gable, Illinois, on
Thursday of last week. George Fox
of Grant county and s. r. Chubb of
Platteville were respectively elected
president and secretary. Mr.. Fox Is
an earnest, attentive and dignified
parliamenturiaD, and becomes, we
believe, the first layman to hold the
important Office Of president Of this
old denomination, whose time of USE
full service in the Masters vineyard
runs back to pioneer days. Rev
Chubb of Platteville is also an old
experienced member and Is we'll
known throughout both states as
among the eminent devines Of this
section. Rev. John Hardcastle of
Mineral Point was elected general
secretary, and is also in the front
rank of those who hold good posi-
tions, receiving enduring fame and
executing marvellous amount of
work for the cause and also for the
Lord.
The conference began well, grew in
interest and developed n strong uni
~ of brotherly love, to which all the
people of Gable responded with a
kindred growing fellowship and
communion from first to last.
All the services We're good, all the
people were happy. and the moneys
of collection marvellous for so small
II town. A decrease of membership
will appear in the minutes by reason
Of II thorough housekeeping all along
the line. But the missionary income
is considerably increased over last
year. General prosperity and great
hope of advancement and extension
prevail. Probably no conference of
the denomination for twenty years,
has exceeded it in usefulness, in hap
py union and an abiding determina-
ton TO stand by the old ship until
she anchors safely in Beulah Land.
The following is the list of minis
terial appointments.
