LIVE SNAKE.
Swallowed BY Girl Who Drank Water
From Spring.

Or. George f. Taylor of 1854 North
Broadway, had rare medical case
Yesterday. A girl, whose name he
would not divulge, but who is about
IL years old, called at his office about
O'clock and complained Of feeling
very i'll. The physician gave her an
emetic, and, to his utter surprise, she
yomited garden snake about five
inches long and alive.
The child became frightened at sight
of the reptile, and It required all toe
Doctors gentle art TO restore her com
posure. WITH the departure of the
snake from the stomach the girl grew
physically better, and before long was
herself again, but the question still
asked Is how did the little creature
ever find its way into her system?
The only solution thus far suggested
Is that ii was swallowed with water
dipped from spring on the Harfards
road. near Herring Run.
Yesterday morning the child, with
several chums and chaperon, took
trolley car ride ont the Hartford
road to Herring Run, and, after stroll
through the woods, stopped at a spring
which sets in a shady grove few
PAGES from the road and which sup
, plies all the residents of the neigh
borhood with drinking water All the
little girls leaned over the spring and
drank from its coole depths, using an
old gourd for dipper.
The girl in question said she recol
lected feeling something wrigginq
down her throat as she drank but
paid no further attention to it. In
few minutes she began to feel i'll
; and in a short time was so i'll tina
her companions were alarmed. ShC
E was hurried to her home on the mex
y car, and, as soon as it was ascertainet

NOQUARANTlNE ORDERED
Against Kentucky or Tennessee Says
Or. Egan-M. & o. Train Held
BY Health Officers.

DR.. J. A. Egan, secretary Of the state
board Of health wired here yesterday
that the report circulated in Paducah,
that Illinois had guaranteed against
Kentucky and Tennessee which was
wirai 10 the Bulletin, stating that the
report was not true and asking that
it be denied. The report probably
grew out of the fact that inspectors
will be placed at Brookport, ILL.,, op-
posite Kentucky.
Dr. W. c. Clarke. in charge N the
train inspection of the State Board of
Health, held the north bound Mobile

by the trains crew. DR.. Clarke learn
ed that the Rabbits Foot Company,
negro theatrical troupe was coming
in here on that train from the south.
Dr. Clarke decided that the State
Board did not want them in Cairo and
notified the railroad company to take
them through. Instead of doing this
the car was cut off in the yards, DR.
Clarke upon learning of this held the
train until a switch engine went out
in the yards. and brought the it dowr
to the station and coupled 1t onto the
train and was sent north.
The inspection is still being rigid,
enforced all over southern Illinois

ABOUT POSTOFEICES-


 day mornings Republican was an ar ticle comparing the receipts of Arizona and New Mexico postoffices with each other and also comparing the receipts of each for the two years last finished. h this article it was announced that the figures concerned third class post offices. It should have read second and third class offices. for both were included. All third class offices are those whose receipts are between $1,- 300 and $S,000 annually, and second class offices are those whose annual receipts are between $S,000 and $40,0O0. Of the latter there are not great many in either territory. One item might be mentioned as very good reason why the gain made by Phoenix last year was not so great as might have been expected. That is the fact of the floods that were almost con- tinuous for three months last spring. They had the effect of keeping people out of town and more than that of all most completely stopping the business of letter writing for days at a time. The postaal service was irregular for weeks and only positively necessary mail matter was started, for there was little assurance that it would get through in time to serve its purpose. larger than usual and if it continues there will be a very notable gain shown in the next report

invalid three weeks ago. Speaking of statehood, he says the people of Okla homaa generally do not want to be ad mitted to statehood jointly with In dian Territory. There are great many of course who do, probably a much larger percentage than in Ari- Zona, but by no means a majority. He believes that if the question were left to a vote of the people of Oklahoma the verdict would be a rejection at the ratio of three to two. He believes there would be a great chance for crooked politicians in the event of jointure, through the fact that the In- dians as rule do not vote. They do not seem to appreciate the franchise yet nor want it. He said that in his own township there are over four hundred Indians entitled to a vote and at the last election not one of them cast a ballot.

Orderly Change In Government.

With Balfour out of the premiership of England, liberal cabinet in control, and Lord Curzonss retired from the great office of viceroy of India, there is decidedly a new deal in the govern mental affairs of the British empire. But these great political changes have been effected in the most quiet and or derly manner. Great Britain has had her own revolutionary experiences, but compared with the volcanic uprisings in France, Russia and some other lands, they would not be regarded as very sensational To Americans with their written constitution the British constitution seems like a nebulous af fair. but it works like clockwork in the countries where it has been evolved by years and centuries of struggle, con- troverSy and use.
