RATTLERs' BITE ANT1DoTE.
Used by Mexicans and Supposed to Be
Moki Indians Secret Remedy.

From the Arizona Republican.
Superintendent B. F. Daniel of the Terri
torial prison. who has been in the city for
the last three days, told while here Of GER
tain cure for the bite of the rattlesnake.
He had heard of it while he had been en-
gagged in mining in Mexico, and since he be-
came superintendent of the prison he has
seen two or three Mexican convicts who
had been cured, and who had the scars to
show that they had been bitten. On the
hand of one of them was the trace of a
centipede, whose poison also yields to the
remedy. Its existence, however is not widely
known, even in Mexico, and is supposed to
be entirely unknown out of that country.
There Is in every rattlesnake a small sac,
about the size of a Mexican bean. attached
to the intestines. This is filled with a
brownish or black fluid, and that fluid is
the cure for the bite. If 1T is applied imme-
diately the patient will not even suffer any
swelling and will entirely avoid pain.
Many Mexicans carry the fluid with them
at all times when they are in the mountains
or on the desert. These Mexicans kill all
the rattlers they can find, and most of them
store the fluid in bottle made of rifle
cartridge shell, which is tightly corked
In anatomical descriptions of the RATHER
no mention is made Of this particular sac,
though air sacs are numerous In the intes-
tines of all members of the snake family
But there is no doubt Of the existence of
II, 1or Mr.. Daniel said he had seen Next
cans remove it frequently.
1t may be that this fluid Is the secret of
the Mok Indians, and accounts for the
Immunity that they enjoy from the poison
of the RATHER. Those who have attended
their annual snake dances and have seen
dancers bitten have wondered that the bites
were not fatal.
At any rate, the secret of the immunity
is one Of the most carefully guarded Sc
crets of the rites of the Mokis and is kept
within a select order of the priesthood DR..
]. Miller for years annually attended these
dances and made study of the ceremonies.
The Indians formally adopted him, not
only into the tribe, but advanced him in
the priesthood. The doctor wanted chiefly
to learn the secret of the poison antidote,
and he was told year after year that the
next year he would be put in possession Of
the secret. But he died without it.

PLANNING FOR BUILDING
Corn Palace Committee Held a Meet
ing to Discuss Plans for Get
ting More Room.

Monday evening the cLrn palace
purpose OF taking up d discussion of
a new corn palace building for 1905,
the supposition being that a larger
structure would be required to handle
the crowds this year. The c%oncensus
of opinion OF the board was that a
new building sought to be erected.
The building committee, Messrs.
Dundas and Scallin, was instructed to
secure a pencil drawing of plans for
an enlarged building, n that will
haze a seating capacity OF about 1000
people, the dimensions OF when arc
TO he l0OXl42.
1t will require a large sum OF money
TO erect Tie bnilding aside from what
is usually raised to decorate the
building, and the only question al
issue is whether the amount can be
raised among the business men of the
city. There is 10 question as to the
necessity of the enlarged building
that was APPLY demonstrated last
year, but whether with all Other
things under contemplation for the
wear, the new building can be handled
from a financial point.
The site that can be secured is ONT
block farther north than'the present
location and it will afford abundant
room. The committee appointed
will also figure on the approximate
cost of the building and report to the
board as soon as possible.

Mitchell makes a strong bid for in

educational facilities, in having Da-
kota Wesleyan University, the best
denominational school in the state.

Good schools make their impress on
the citizenship of a town aud in this
respect Mitchell is particularly tor
tunate.
Tae greater corr palace for 1906
viii be one of Mitchell's strong fea-
lures. 1T is the aim OF the commit
tee to erect a larger building this
year in which to bold the corr palace
and thereby permit more people to
come to this great festival. Mitchell
and South Dakota have recei we'd a
great amount of advertising from this
enterori IL and great good has resulted
therefrom.
Let u citizens band together even
in stronger bonds to push the inter-
ests of the city to the point where
she will attain the prominence as
business center to which her location
entities her. The developments in
the next six or eight months will
mean much to us all and we should
be ready to take advantage of every
thing that comes u way. In further
ing these interests The Republican
will use it's best %endeavors to bring
about the desired results and will
labor as earnestly for the future as
has been the case in the past.
