SOUNDS SWEET
 JUST AT PRESENT.

After the snow is gone and a few days of genial sunshine warm up the hillsides and val leys, then will spring up the delicate, modest violets and oth- CT lovely wild flowers that grow spontaneously all over this coun- try; the air will be redolent with their sweet breath, and in the ecstacy of the transformation, the music of the feathery tribe and the readiness of the speckled beauties of the finny tribe to bite, the snow and ice and rigors of winter will be forgotten. Without a touch of ''the beauti- fuP' we would not appreciate the balmy breath of spring; and then a white winter presages a good crop year, so look pleasant and take your medicine. H. B.

anAahitants of Indiana Town Organ. ise Night Hunts and XIII
 the Pests with Salt.

A plague of snails, or slugs, as the af' hicted people call them, lately struck Jeffersonville. Ind, in full force, and instances are cited where persons have been compelled to move. Their first appearance was after the flood of Feb ruary, 1884, but they have never been 90 bad as at present. The pests are not exactly like . snail. but resemble them in some respects. They have no shells and are night raiders, says the New York World.
 At no place In the city where the food water failed to reach has one of the slugs been seen. but In the most fashionable quarters the pests are numerous. In size they range from one to six inches in length. being from quarter to an inch in diameter. It ia not until ten o'clock at night that the snails come out of their hiding places, under houses. and slug hunting parties have become fashionable.
 Armed with lamp and a cup of salt, the people hunt for the pest. and when . slug is found its days are mum bered. for the smallest particle of salt means death. The more salt the quicker the work.
 They leave behind slimy track. that furnishes clew to theip movements. In some p.aces fine carpets have been ruined. the sl.my tail eating like acid.
 One of .he most peculiar character istics of the siugs is their ability to get their large bodies through small space. They fatten out almost as thin as knife blade. allowing them to crawl throcgh good sized door crack.

by Secretary Taft.
Washington, Oct. 24.-Secretaly
Taft will recommend to the congress
an increase in the number of artill-
erymen of the army in order that
there shall be a sufficient number
of men to man the forts and care for
the coast defenses.
1t is not expected that there will
be any reduction in the estimates OF
the war department this year, as the
expenses of the army cannot be de-
cided and additional appropriations
are necessary to continue the forti-
fications in the insural possessions
Although it is expected that no es-
Inmates will be made for a general
river and harbor bill the regular es-
Inmates for the continuing contracts
will not be diminished.

ALMOST AsPHYxlATED.
Resident Of Bussey Turned on the Gas
In Oskaloosa Hotel.


Special TO rimes-Rep,lbilcan.
Oskaloosa, Oct. 24.-Because he
blew out the gas, ]. r. Williams, a
resident Of Bussey, nearly met death
at the Arnold hotel yesterday.
In the morning when Landlord
Smith made his last call for break
fast, he found the man in his room,
with the doors and windows closed and
the gas jet emptying into the room.
Williams, when discovered, was un-
conscious, and had he been undisturb-
ed for a short time probably would
have succumbed to the gas.
A doctor was summoned but before
he had arrived he seemed to be recov-
ering and no assistance was needed.
Williams slowly recovered his strength
but refused to talk about his awful ex-
perience, and shortly before noon be
settled his bill and left the hotel.
When Clerk Hitler showed Williams to
his room, he explained to him how to
turn out the gas.
The case is one hard to understand
by those connected with it, and as
Williams positively refused to talk,
there has been suspicion prevalent
that it was an attenpt Of suicide.
