Girls Feet Bound by Snake.

Miss Marie Czerney, daughter of a
prominent resident Of Bon Homme
county. had a thrilling adventure with
a monster snake. The young woman,
while engaged in doing the evening
milking. was Mortified by the discovery
that monster snake had its head in
the pail. The snake evidently had
been drinking the milk about as fast
as 1t poured into the pail. Greatly
frightened by the discovery Miss Ger
ney gave scream, sprang to her feet
and made dash for her home, but the
reptile was coiled so tightly and was
of such weight that the girl was
thrown violently to the ground. Finally
gaining her freedom from the reptile
she continued her fight toward home.

One ballot was taken by the jury. It
was cast Immediately after the Jurors
returned from dinner, to which they
were called within few minutes after
they had left the courtroom to de-
hberate. Promptly Judge Cray was
notified and soon the words mot
guilty" the two words pre-eminent in
the brief answer of the jury to the
courts question, were heard in the
courtroom, and lifted a great weight
of care from the defendant and his
friends.
When the verdict was announced the
spectators instantly burst into ap-
plause, which lasted for a full minute
and until the court raped for order.
DR.. Koch for moment appeared
overcome with the emotions caused by
the verdict.
When order had been restored,
Judge Cray discharged the jury, thank
ing it for its long and confining serv-
ice. He also made an order discharg-
ing the defendant and generating his
bond.
DR.. Koch, when seen after his dis
charge. was in happy frame Of
mind. He said that he felt he had had
q fair trial and had received the vim
dication that he so much had desired.

THE NEW FOOD.
The Iron Food, Apitezo, Met With In
slant Success Here---We All
Get Rosy

What is probably one Of the most
rapid introductions Of any food article
ever known in this part Of the country
has been before the eyes and on the
breakfast tables OF residents Of this
city for the past six weeks.
The new series of Apitezo advertising
has been placed with this papera re-
newal which may go far to prove that
the advertising columns of The Times
have had their part in this rapid intro
duction.
It the history of cereals probably no
food has found quicker or as permanent
a market in so short time as Apitezo.
This introduction was achieved wholly
through the columns of newspapers.
Apitezo was not launched as d gift
scheme. From the very first day groeers
have paid full price for it, and consum-
ers have paid full price for it. It is
not a bargain counter food. No pres
ents, packages of other and older ee-
reals, discounts, or any schemes what
ever have been use in bringing Apitezo
to its success, yet today It is sold in
large quantities in practically every
grocery store In this city and environs
The Apitezo advertising simply tells the
readers of newspaper in straigtfor.
ward manner that they need food that
makes red blood, and chat no food gives
az much Of plant iron as Apitezo. Apt
tezo, moreover, is delicious, having an
inviting flavor, which never pals upon
the palate. In this it Is unlike other
breakfast foods. Apitezo, in fact, Is
80 appetizing that you could have it
for every meal of the day and sit down
to each meal with zest Won would
not have for other fare.

TO ITALY WITH GOLD.
Workman Found Prize in Express Wreck
at Bethayres.

Philadelphia, June TO- Unless an
il apprehended in England, and it is
doubtful If he will be, he will probably
reach some quiet spot in Italy in safety,
and live life Of luxury for the next
few years on his stolen treasure. In
a false bottom in his trunk the man
has two bars of gold valued at $4,000,
which he got in such a peculiar way
that had he not taken young Italian
woman into his confidence he would
never have fallen under suspicion.
Compoili was a section hand in the
employ of the Reading Railroad before
he made his sfnd"@ On the night Of
May Is, while he was working at Beth
ayres, on the New York branch Of the
Philadelphia 4 Reading Railroad, an ex-
press car caught fire and was destroyed.
The gold, however, was uninjured, and
it was found by Compolli as he was
making search OF the ruins.
The two bars are about ten inches
long. four inches wide and an inch and
a half thick, and weigh twenty-six
pounds. They belong to the S. S. White
Dental company and are standard gold,
purchased at the United States mint
and shipped by way Of the United States
express Company to the New York
branch OF the White company 70 be
converted into gold leaf and gold solder.
Campolli told his secret to no one but
the young woman to whom he had been
making. love. Those persons who know
her name will not tell it, fearing that
the mans relatives would murder her.
He borrowed money from her to help
make up the sum needed to get his
ticket to Italy and said that when
he had sold part Of his treasure he
would send for her. The woman after
ward learned that Campolli had wife
in his native country, and to be re-
venged on him she told his secret
The deserted sweetheart says she help

Range Of Honey Bees.

The range of honey bees is little un
derstood,D said +. Frank Kilbourn.
Many suppose that bees go for miles
IN quest of nectar, while others think
they go only short distance. 1t may
le curious to many to understand how
any one can tell how far bees may fly,
but this is simple when understood.
Years ago, when the Italian bees were
first introduced in the United States,
these bees, having marks different to the
common bees already here, were easily
distinguished, and after any beekeeper
had obtained the Italian bees they could
be observed and this range easily no
ticed. II bloom is plentiful close where
bees are located they will not 20 very
far, perhaps mile in range, but If
bloom is scarce they may go i've miles.
Usually about three miles is as far as
they may 90 proftably. Bees have been
known to 90 az far as eight miles in a
straight line, crossing a body Of water
that distance to land. 1t Is wonderful
how the little honey bee can 20 so far
from its home and ever find its way
back to its particular hive. If while
the bee Is away from the hive, it should
be moved ten Of twenty feet, the bee
would be hopelessly lost when it came
back to where its home was first 10.
Gated. II its home was in an open
space, with no other objects close, it
might find its way home, but even if
the hive be moved only few feet many
of the bees would get lost If the hive
must be moved it should be done in the
winter time, but if in the summer time
it should be done after dark or when
the bees are not flying, and even then
the bees should be stirred up some and
smoke blown in at the hive entrance
and q board or some object placed iii
front Of the hive so that the bees in
coming ont may mark their new loca
