SNAKE MISTAKEN FOR A FISH

JOPLIN, Mo-, Aug. Herbert
death dealing stroke by big rattle
snake, was saved by the quick action
of Francis Evans, aged Is, who sent a
bullet through the head of the reptile
Just in time to prevent it burying it's
fangs in the flesh of his chum The
snake was wrapped around the arm of
the Davis boy, who had grasped it un-
der the impression that it was fish.
Francis Evans is the son of DR. NJ
H. Evans. Herbert Davis is the son
of the owner of the swimming resort
on North Main street. The boys are
great chums and spend much time fish
ing and hunting about the ponds north
of the city.
The swimming lake had overhown
and the water filled basin formed by
mining operations half a mile away.
The overflow had allowed many fish to
escape from the lake and many of them
had been imprisoned in the basin. The
boys were draining the basin and TAX
ing the fish back to the lake. The
work of removing the fish bad nearly
been completed when the Davis lad
saw something move under a large
rock. He promptly grabbed at it
thinking it fish, shouting as he did
so, "I'll bet this is big one -
He jerked it up and to his sorrow
beheld a big rattlesnake squirming in
his grasp. He attempted to release it
but the snake was too quick, coiling
about his arm and raising its head to
strike.
Francis Evans was standing beside
the little pond leaning on a repeating
rifle which is his companion on such
expeditions.
Young Evans heard the horror strick-
en- shrek Of his companion as the an.
,Agered rattler swung back to sink it:
eadly fangs. There was no time fol

kough the rattler's head and it fell

The Business Outlook for 1898.

On all sides we see evidences that
the tide has turned. A steady i'm
provement from this time onward may
be looked for with confidence. In New
York, Chicago, Pittsburg, St, Louis,
Boston and other industrial centers
mills are reopening their doors. The
stocks of goods in the hands of manu-
facturers and wholesalers have been
reduced to low figures, and the resump-
tion of purchases, which is under way
in all the great lines of trade, is be-
ginning to send in orders to the fact
cries with a little of their old-time
volume.
Within the past three weeks the out
put of the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation has been increased
ten per cent. over the average of re-
cent months. The promise is that by
the beginning of November that larg-
est of the worlds steel concerns will
be running its works to nearly their
full capacity. The independent steel
mills, which furnish almost half of the
countrys products are also responding
to the upward turn in trade.
This improvement is registering it's

| idle locomotives and cars. When the
number was at its highest, in the clos
ing days of April, 413.00O cars were
sidetracked throughout the United
States for lack of work In the closing
days of July the number had dropped
below the 300, 900 line. The heavy
crops, which in few weeks will be-
| gin to move to the markets, are likely
to send the number of idle cars down
to very small figures before November
If the election turns out to be what g
large majority of the business men Of
the country want it to be, and what
they expect it to be, every locomotive
and car in the United States will prob
ably be actively at work by January

TO FRIENDS AND ENEMIES.

Editor News;
| hone you will do me the justice of
publishing this letter for the benefit of
all concerned. In the first place did
submit to request of few loyal
friends of mine to allow a petition to
90 to the election commissioner to have
my name printed upon the Dorch bal
lot to be voted for member of the
Board of Education and expected the
democrats to name some democrat to
oppose me, but | must confess that /
was surprised to find that good many
of the republican office-holders readily
entered into combine to bring defeat
unto me. 1t reminds me of the twelve
Apostles, when one of them whose
name was Peter, undertook to deceive
the Savior, who knew he, Peter, was
making false statements at the time
he related them unto his Savior.
Now, in the first place wish to con-
gratulate Mr.. Spears, for have for a
long time regarded him as my friend
and do regard him as such yet, that /
do not lay the blame Of my defeat at
his door for | know his character
stands above reproach, and he will
make an able member of the board OF
education.
In the second place, I almost feel like
| wanted to congratulate myself for be-
ing defeated by such a good young
man and republican as Mr.. Spears.
In the third place believe my past
record will bear me out in saying that
| have been faithful to my friends and
loyal to my party.
Take the vote that was cast at JAS
or, 221; then take the vote of Mr.
Spears and the vote for me, and yoJ
will find both added together is 100
Then subtract $50 from 221 and yor
will find it will leaves a remainder Of
