GREAT EXCITEMENT
S83 REiGNED.

sSE ALTOONA, Pa, Aug. 9.-Evange-
list Zeak was soaring in the dizzy
heights of temperance eloquence yes
terday, when he suddenly noticed a
gigantic python wriggling across the
rostrum Taking a second look to as
ssssitre himself that t. heEs was not Hiatass.
en,~Zeall yelled frantically: Snakes,
snakes, run for your lives!" Follow
ing the example of the speaker, the
congregation fed pell nell.
Elder Robinson ran up on the
speakers stand to stop the stampede.
He doubted that there were real
snakes in the vicinity. Something is
the matter with our brother he said.
Then the python stuck its head above
the platform and the elder joined in
the general retreat.
All this time the drums and tom
toms of the dog and pony show were
beating in the tents not far distant.
Suddenly bespansled figure ran over
from the circus confines, and a
breathless passer-by told her snake
was after the congregation.
Its my Toby" she said. Some
body left the cage door OPEN
Toby wiggled exultantly as the
snake charmer carried it past the
rear guard of the evangelist's fleeing
followers.

the leader OF the gang came through
here some months ago The police
were notified by Constable Jones and
close watch was kept on all trains
during the night up to four o'clock
this morning, when another message
came over the wires, stating that the
escaped victims had been apprehend-

MUCH MARRIED
DIVORCE COURT MADE 1T POSI-
BILE FOR A MAN TO MAKE A
RECORD IN MATRIMONY.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 9.-Lewis
Brindley, young Des NIoines butch
er, twenty-five years old, bears the
distinction of living with his sixth
wife. Brindley is not bound to the
previous five, they having taken adj
vantage of the divorce laws to be
rid of him when he manifested a loss
of affection for them.
Brindley came to Des Moines from
Menlow, Iowa, where it is said he was
married three times. He came to
Des Moines three years ago, and as a
result his name appears on the Polk
county marriage record three times
and on the divorce docket back
through several volumes.
In 1901 Brindley married Sarah
SPARKS, a girl of twenty years, but
the union was short, for in less than
year she was divorced. In 1902 he
married Gertia' NJ. Morgan, aged
twenty-four, but she, too, was divorc-
ed, and in 1908 he was married to
Philena NJ. Lassell thirty-two. 1t is
her second venture in to the matrimo-
NAL world and SO far she has kept
her name from the divorce docket.

VEST IS
DEAD.
MiSSouRFS VENERABLE STATES
MAN DIED THIS MORNING
OF. DISEASES INCIDENT
TO OLD AGE.
He WAS HELD IN HIGH Es-
TEEN BY THE MEMBERS
OF BOTH PARTIES.

SWEET SPRINGS, Mo-, Aug. -
George Graham Vest, ex-senator OF
! Missouri, died at 5 A. NJ. to-day, OF
general debility. aged "A.
George Graham Vest was born at
Frankfort, KY, December 6, 1880,
and was graduated from Center Col
lege, Kentucky, in 1S4S. He com
pleted his law course at the Tran
sylvania University in 1854, and NOV
ed to Missouri the same year. He
was in the Missouri Senate: when the
war broke out. He went with the
South and became Confederate SOL
dier. He was elected to the United
States Senate in 1879 and served until
December, 1902, when he retired to
his daughters home in. st. Louis. He
made the same gallant fight for life
that always marked his battles in
public, but the odds were against
him. Vest was small in stature, slow
and deliberate in moving, and never
lost his temper. In the Senate he was
regarded with veneration, and when
ever he arose to speak every member
hurried to his place to listen. He had
as many Republican friends as Dem
ocrats, for all recognized that Vest
was of the type of statesmen who
would rather die than do the slight
est dishonorable act.
He lived simply and died poor
man. He was addicted to old style
frock coats, broad slouch hats and
long ties.
He was the most brilliant member
of the famous s.big four that has
been sucn a powerful political factor
in Missouri for over thirty years.
The others are Senator F. NJ. Cock
rell. U. S. District Judge John F.
and Ex-Governor Thomas T.
Crittenden.
Vests death was just the kind he
did not wish to meet.
Let me not live" he said fire.
when life has become an
every day conflict with disease and
pain, when we are about to sink into
senility and second childhood"
Vest, having served continuously
in the Senate for "a years, withdrew
last spring to his summer home
here, owing to constantly recurring
illnesses. His decline was not stopped
as he hoped, by withdrawal from pub
ic life.
Senator Vests final critical illness
began three weeks ago.

HElAEVZ EAVZY \ GUN FIRE FIRE
HAS TO BE FACED BY JAPANESE
WHILE FORTIFYING HILLS
ALREADY CAPTURED.

2 CHEEFOO, Aug. 9.-The firing at
Port Arthur, which was heard here
from 1880 o'clock last night, contin-
$ued at most frequent intervals until
$3.50 this morning. The firing was
heavy and was distinctly heard at
3Eheefoo, conditions being peculiarly
favorable. A junk has arrived here
which left Port Arthur on Aug. 9Th.
Those aboard the boat report that
nothing has occurred with the excep-
ton of desultory exchanges of shot
since July %. An engineer who was
on board the junk declares it will
take the Japanese a month to fortify
the hills which they have captured
and plant siege guns. This, he says, is
true owing to the heavy gun fire of
the Russians which the japanese must
face in their work.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The thirteen
locals of the Amalgamated Meat
Butchers and Cutters gave notice to-
day to the local packers that at s
O'clock tomorrow a strike would be
on. The strike order, which was is
sued last night, will affect $500 men.
The independent packers will not be
affected by the strike order unless
they aid or assist the meat trust. The
strike order came from National Pres
ident DonnelIy, in Chicago, some days
after he ordered the second strike,
but the order was held up until the
local unions voted on it. The vote
was for a strike, but the strike order
was still held in abeyance until
Henry L. Richberger, who represents
the national executive committee
here could consult with Homer D.
Call, the national secretary, who had
been expected here for week, but
only arrived on Sunday. The meet
ing of the advisory board last night
lasted over five hours, after which the
following statement was given out:
Complying with the order coming
from National Secretary Homer D.
Call and Fourth Vice President Rich
berger, the advisory board has decid-
ed to give the "a hours notice, be-
ginning at s A. NJ, Tuesday morning,
calling out all men employed by the
meat trust in New York and vicinity,
and if any of the independent houses
aid or assist the packers their men
will be called out.
This course has been made neces-
sary by the fact that the meat trust
has been shipping it's stock from the
West to New York and asking us to
slaughter the same after our men in
the West have been on strike"

sARE REPUBLICANS At STATE
CAPITALIZE CoRNWELL
RECEPTION WAS a VERY
PHEASANT. EVENT.

The Senate passed and reported to
the House, Senate bill 19, relating to
the collection of taxes
The House advanced a number of
bills, and passed House bills II and
I3 and Senate bill 10.
The feature Of the days session,
however was the speech OF Gun
4 sningham, in which he made some
rather malicious attacks upon Judge
Reynolds.
Mr. Cunningham opposed House
bill IL. providing the county should
pay part of the expenses of boys
committed to the Reform School.
Four or five Republicans voted with
the Democrats for the bill, but not
enough to defeat the bill. which pass
ed by majority of five.
Nominee Cornwell, who arrived on
the nine O'Clock train last night, was
met by delegation of the faithful
and escorted to the Hotel Ruffner,
where he made a speech, intimating
shis desire to be governor, and express
ing hope that something might hap
pen to allow him to realize his
dreams The reception was a pleas
ant affair, in which the Republicans
participated very generously in the
way of swelling the crowd. which was
none too large at best. The members
of the two houses had just returned
from the splendid excursion given
them by the Charleston Chamber of
Commerce. and were in good spirits.
But politically, the reception was not
a bowling success.
Republicans here are feeling easier
every day.
