FOUND IN :
OLD BURIAL VAULT

QUINCY, ILL, Nov. 18.-R. A..
Chase. who some time ago purchased
the old Powell farm near Eubanks.
having lively adventure with a n est
of snakes that have taken up their
abode in the tomb of the Powell fami-
lv, which wa abandoned several de-
cades ago. The old burial vault was
built generations ago and has not been
in use for twenty Y ears. Some days
ago Mr.. Chase decided to build new
barn, and h.s attention was called to
the fact that the large squares of stone
in the old vault would be of value in
putting in the foundations. And so
with spade and axe the assault npon
the aband doned cidital of the dead
began.
Scores of the Shiny and kissing rep
tiles startled and ala1 med the invad-
ers to hasty retreat. But the men re-
turned with reeuforcements.
One man would take pickGxe and
losen stone. A mother. with sharp
spade, would behead the viper rs as
they thrust their sibilant fangs from
the crevices.
Mr.. Chase himself bagged eighty
blue racers, twelve garters, five milk
snakes au1 one rattler.
1t was great day for snakes. And
even after the slaughter Mr.. Chase
asserts that hundreds of the kissing
nuisances remained.

ST. PETERSBUG 4, Nov. 49,
Some of the streets were in total dark

unparalleled runs have been made on

eONERNOR GETS Desperate

1t has been said that Gle whom
the Gods would destroy, they first
made mad" The force of this saw.
ing seems never to have been more
clearly and strongly shown than in
the present condition of Governor
Montague's mind and his candidacy.
The Governor seems very much dis
appointed in the effect of his orator
ical efforts upon the voters of Vir.
ginia, and his chagrin in this re-
spect has driven him to do, aud to
say things Of his opponent that in
his cooler aud saner moments he
will no doubt both repudiate and re.
gret. 1t is very evident that the
Governors plan of campaign aud his
manner of speech and ntterances have
not met with the approval of the
conservative and fair minded voters
of the State. and he greatly under
estimates their intelligence when he
assumes, as he seems to, that they
are incapable of discriminating be-
tween facts and fiction, and between
argument and abuse. - Accomac

PRIMARY TO BRING EVIL TINES.

But old line Democrats are not
forgetful of the past. They remem-
Der how often factional quarreIs and
broken ranks have caused the Demo-
cratic flag to go down in defeat while
the Republicans marched up to the
polls in solid phalanx. The time
has not yet come when it may be
said that the election of Judge Lewis
is assured. But it can be said that
his chance is better than that of any
man now mentioned for the COVER
norship. His chance is better today
than Mann's or Swanson's or Will
lard's. And what applies to the
State also applies to the Legislative
fight.-OBsERvER, in Fredericks-

ment Quot prohibitionists), the other
leading the saloon following. To
throw away vote on Mann means a
vote lost to Swanson, the only man
who can defeat Willard now and u
Republican nominee later on.
Some Of Judge Mann's friends say
he does not need this county to elect
him, aud that this county cannot
save Swanson from defeat; grant
either view, then what doth it prof {
to turn the county control over to
the men you have been fighting six
years or more? To desert the Swan
son organization and vote for Mann
means half vote to Willard; and
carrying the county for Willard
means the loss of all that has been
won here in six years.

A FEW THINGS NOT DEspIsED.


During his speech in Staunton
Senator Martin mentioned number
of appropriations he had secured for
the State; $25, 900 for Richm mond Col
lege, for which the Religions Herald,
the Baptist paper gave him warm
praise; near half million to buy
land for Norfolk navy yard; near half
million more for more land; for a
dry dock there half million; $780,
600 to deepen the channel there to
2S feet; bill to make it now 30 feet;
appropriation to remove a bar in the
harbor at Newport News; for Apo
mattox river 1925, 600; for Richmond
channel $3.50, 900; for turning basin
there $l50,000, and many other sums
for rivers and harbors and public
buildings and for other purposes.
He then touched on one very signif.
icant point the governor had made,
namely, that if it was appropriations
the state wanted, why not send Il
Republican, say Slemp, as a Repub.
lican could get more appropriations
than Democrat. The senator said
this would be used as good campaign
material by the Republicans, aud
sounded strange coming from the
Governor. The Senator said that he
did not propose to furnish the Re
publicans any such material.
The Governor had stated he had
no boss. The Senator thoughtit was
unfortunate, as the boss would have
kept him from doing a great many
foolish things. The governor also
said he would be no boss in Wash
ington, and the Senator said that was
undoubtedly true.
