What to DRINK
don Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
It becomes more puzzling than ever to
decide what to eat. drink or avoid. It has
long been known. for example. that tenn
perance beverages as class are not above
teetotal suspicion. but If we are to judge
by the annual report of the principal chem
list of the government laboratory the only
safety will rest In an analyt cal label. 1t
Is stated in the report that of 924 samples
of ginger. herb and botanic beers sold as
non-intox cants $40 exceeded the legal
limit. which. 1t seems. is fixed generously
enough at per cent of proof spirit. No
less than ffty-eight contained 3 per cent,
thirty-f1ve per cent and eight 6 per cent
or more the highest quantity discovered
being 95 per cent. What has probably
happened to the. unwary> imbibers of the
last-named decoctIon cannot be contem-
plated without q shudder. ~

Stops Runaway Horses.

A pair of horses drawing a wagon be-
longing to the Morrison Paper Co. ran
away from in front of 100 18th street yes
terday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, just
as the employees of the several government
buildings in the vicinity were leaving their
places of employment. Albert Beverly, a
messenger in the treasury. jumped into
the vehicle and stopped the animals in
time to prevent what might have been a
serious accident.

The Fate of Parties.

From II Seocolo. Milan.
In the perennial strife of tendencies and
ideas one party Is over-ridden by another
when the errors and misdeeds of the party
in power have caused the errors and mis-
deeds of its predecessor to be forgotten.
But parties have a reason for their ex-
istence. inasmuch as they interpret the

within themselves efficacious remedy
against momentary set-5acks: and their

ceiver by direction Of the controller of the
currency If the event should prove that
they will suffer loss, yet it Is thought that
this action has been of benefit to the entire

1t Is also looked upon as highly promising
that the law which was passed at the last
session OF Congress in regard to incorpo-
rated banking institutions not already UNI

SOME SNAKES USED FOR FOOD
Interesting Information About the Disposition and Habits OF
Crawlers Most Particular as to Their Food Inc
Rather Has Flavor Like Chicken

to take food from his hand, and made
no effort to escape, which was all that
could be expected from creature
which has no affection for its young.
MANY snakes spurn their offspring
from the first, others keep about them
for a week giving them pointers as TO
how to get on in the world, and then
leave them to shift for themselves.
In discussing snakes and their pc
culiarities attention was called to
their beautiful cOlOring and markings,
which. it is asserted, are finer than
those OF anv other creature living on
land in this part of the world; to their
graceful movement in symmetrical
curves, and to the fact that they never
make a superAuOus motion. Observa-
ton also shows that they serve a use
full purpose in Kidding the land OF
grasshoppers and other pests inlmlcal
to agriculture.
Particular About Food.
Most particular as to their food,
snakes eat only that which they XII,
and they Judge of the fitness OF their
food by its motion, taking nothing
which does not move swiftly. Field
mice and birds are dainties which they
especially covet, and in hunting and
catching them they display the guile
and cunning which the scriptures at
tribute to them.
That they charm their prey is an
other popular belief which is quite I'M
supported by fact. The creatures
they hunt fear them, as a hungry
snake has 4 way of getting what he
gOes for, and seeming to understand
this bird is so filed with terror
when it sees a snake that often 1T is
unable to fly, and falls an easy victim
to Its enemy. 1t is this condition that
leads to the generally accepted con-
clus on that a snake has the power to
charm.
AS an article of diet the blue racer,
of all snakes, is said to be the most
delicate in flavor, as it is very clean
ly in its habits, and particular as to
its food. The flesh Of the RATHER is
also perfectly wholesome and tooth
some, having a flavor, like the flesh OF
most snakes, like chicken.
At an evening entertainment, given
at the home of this Investigator, let
tuce-edged sandwiches of fine minced
snake meat were served, and were sup
posed to be chicken until it CHANGED
that a student discovered peculiarly
shaped bone. Twirling it between his
thumb and finger he approached his
host and asked if there was anything
save snake, that could make use of
that bone. Being assured there was
not the company was soon discussing
the merits of the blue racer they had
been eating. From one snake thirty
five sandwiches had been made.

TWO PROPOSITIONS
ARE Up TO vINITA
important Meetings Of Directors Of
Two Railroads That May Be
Built to This City

/ A. J. Yoke, president Of the Yoke
Brick company.
The other directors are j, E. Leh-
man and p. FL. Graham Of Centralia
and R. N. Selby and r. Bennett OF
Oklahoma City, the latter being mem
bers in order to comply with the OK
lahoma law, under which the company
is incorporated.
At last nights meeting there were
three gentlemen present from Alton,
who presented that towns claim for
the road with all the eloquence at
their commagd. They stated that
Alton has already subscribed for Sl6,-
600 stock in the company.
The directors stated that the road
will certainly be built, and that It
would be built either to Alton or
Vinita, to which. however, they are at
present unable to state. They inti-
timated that they have already COM
pleted arrangements for the financing
of the road. Centralia has subscribed
$40, 900 stock, and expects to secure
SIS, 900 more, while ICofeyyille expects
to vote bonds, perhaps to the amount
OF $4,000.
The Coffeyyille glass companies, 70
is said, are extremely anxious that the
road be built, as near Centralia there
is some excellent sand that contains a
much greater per cent Of silicate than
any in the immediate neighborhood Of
Coffeyyille.
Vinita, it can be stated, stands a
good chance of securing the road.
Other things being equal, the road

May have PAVING
COffeyviIIe Brick Company is
Working in the interest
Of Vlnita.

The outlook for street paving in
Vinita is not so gloomy as appeared
short time ago. w. Il. Chaplain
was In Cotfeyville yesterday, and while
there interviewed Treasurer Buckles
of the Coffeyville Vitrified Brick COM
pany, Mr., Buckles stated. that he had
recently talked with Contractor Gra-
ham of Emporia, and that the latter
will in all probability be willing to
take the contract for paving Vinita's
streets, and accept paving script in
payment. Mr.. Buckles says his COM
pany has the opinion of one of the
most eminent lawers In the United
States that the Curtis bill does give
cities the right to issue bonds for mu-
nlcipal Improvements.
An eastern tinancier is now looking
up this legal question, and if he de-
cides that the city does have this
power he will take the bonds at a
premium Even If he does not take
the bonds, there is strong pos
sibility that they can be disposed Of
to Mr.. Graham. Mr.. Buckles promis-
ed to communicate with him at once
and secure definite answer.

w. E. Clapham returned this morn
ing from Coffeyville, where last night
he represented the Vinita Commercial
club before the meeting of the direc-
tors Of the Coffeyville s. Memphis
railroad Mr.. Clapham was not au-
thorized to present a proposition for
Vinita, and the directors did not feel
justified, under the present circum-
stances, in presenting proposition to
Vinita. The president, however, was
authorized to appoint committee OF
two or three members who will visit
Vinita and Alton soon, and hear what
each town has to offer.
Mr.. Clapham says that sentiment in
Coffeyville is strongly in favor OF the
building Of the road, and that the in
terests back of it are the solid, sub
stantial business interests of Coffey-
will. The directors from Cotfeyville
are as follows;
J. /. Hill, president Of the Coffey-
vile Mercantile company, big whole
sale grocery.
e. G. Kiddoo, secretary treasurer,
president and manager Of the Kiddoo-
Wilson Milling company.
e. A. Rosser, counsel, a prominent
lawyer.
w. T. Brown, capitalist, and presl-
dent Of the Brown Supply company,
wholesale lumber and hardware.
DR.. w. G. Hall, capitalist.

Pioneer Flint Glass company.
G. L. Gabler manager Of the Kan
sas Glass company.

will be built either to Vinita or Alton
according to which town puts up the
bigger bonus.
The directors of the Arkansas &
Northeastern Oklahoma, who we're in
session here almost all day yesterday,
transacted considerable business, tho
but little was made public. 1t was
stated, however, that the contract
for the permanent survey was let to
the John Il. Wallace Surveying COM
pany Of st, Louis and that large
party will be put in the field at once.
The directors were entertained at
dinner yesterday by the railroad COM
mittee OF the Commercial club, and
they have a kindly feeling for Vinita.
1t was stated this morning that,
other things being equal, the road will
be built to this city. Even tho the
road thru Vinita may cost consider
ably more than the other route, Vinita
will be given a chance to secure it, it
is stated. The road cannot be landed
here without money, Of course, but it
can be secured, in all probability, if
the citizens really want it.
