Boy Had Nerve.

Master Henry Hall, the little son Of
Matthew Hall, who lives near here,
took heroic measures to prevent dis
aster from the bite of a big rattle
snake which had crawled into his bed
and bit him on the finger just after he
had retired. The fangs Of the reptile
were sunk into the boys index fin
ger of the right hand.
AS soon as he realized what had
happened the lad jumped from the
bed and, grabbing a chop axe, cut the
finger off just above the bite. He
lost some blood from the crude opera
ton, but has suffered no injury as a
result of the snake bite. 1t is sup
posed the snake came in through the
door in the afternoon while tho fam
lily were busy in the fields. 1t crawled
under tho top cover of the bed, and
was not seen when the family went
to retire. Young Hall tumbled into
bed in much the same way as all
youngsters do, and threw his hand
over on the snake, making it mad
and causing it to strike at once. The
fangs were buried in the flesh of the
finger.-Anniston Correspondence of

Nest Made of Steel,

a curious gift has been made to the
Natural History Museum of Soletta.
This gift consists of birds nest con-
structed entirely of steel. There are
a great many watchmakers at Soletta
and in the vicinity of the workshops
there are always the remains of the
old springs of watches which have

tree in his courtyard by a pair Of
water-wagtails. 1t measures ten
centimetres in circumference, and Is
made solely of watch springs.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 30.--News has
been received here from Mukden to
the effect that the Japanese have at
last began the offensive. They have
captured Da pass, and are pressing
on General Kuropatkin's left flank
The war office is unable to confirm
this officially, because Kuropatkins
dispatches are following the emper.

formed by the general staff that all
indications point to that fact.
1t is believed the Russians abandon.
ed Da pass without serious resistance.
Several other passes of the Da
range, eastward OF Bentsiaputze, co
miles southeast of Mukden), are also
in the hands OF the Japanese.
General Kuropatkin Is evidently
drawing in his forces to the less
mountainous country northwestward,
where he may decide to give battle
In the meantime, sharp lighting is
regarded as immediate southeast OF
Mukden, whence the Japanese are ex.
pected to deliver their main attack.

NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL
t. Des Moines. Oct !, ,oo1

Des Moines, Oct. l, 1904.
The secretary Of state is engaged In
sending out an edition of the election
laws to the auditors of the counties
OF the state. There have been low
amendments to the Iowa election laws
in recent years. Efforts are made in
each assembly to amend it. Repre-
sentative Thos. Harris, of Powesheik
county, introduced several bills to
amend the election law, In the last
general assembly. One is perennial
and is designed to abolish the circle
at the head Of the ticket. to prevent
straight ballot casting and to encour-
age Independent voting. 1t was de-
feated as 1t has been In several leg
islatures. However, there have been
some minor amendments and the sec
rotary thought it would be wise in
presidential year. when every one
must register, to place the laws in the
hands Of the auditors.
