|ShAkES ARE ON
MARCH, To WATER
Thousands of Creeping Things
Go towards Wabash.

Sullivan, Ind. Sept. 19.-In the
three-inches-deep dust of many of the
roads of Sullivan county, in the last
two days, thousands of sinuous trails
have been traced. Some of them are
no larger than the mark left on the
dust by the end of a switch pulled
by a child. Others are more than an
inch across and have pressed a half
inch into the thick dust, The trails
are dissimilar in every respect with
n exception-they all point the
same way.
Every one of the trails. as far as
has been reported. was made by a
body going from east toward the west
toward the Wabash river boundary
of the county.
The trails are those Of thousands
of snakes that are leaving the dried
up interior parts of the county and,
probably, Greene county, to the east,
and are going toward the Wabash
river, where there is some moisture.
Big snakes, little snakes, short snakes,
long snakes-all are "on the march,"
or have been during the last two
days. They are all going toward wat
er.

CHICAGO PLACES BAN
ON SALOME DANCE
Men May Be Only Ones Allowed
To Portray Dance.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-When Salome
danced before King Herod, as the BIZ
BILE relates she did, she might have
worn more clothes If she had dreamed
that twenty centuries later theatrical
representations of her dance would
have so shocked Chicago that it was
seriously proposed to put a ban into
the Salome role. The Salome dance
which a prominent theater has ven
tured to present, gauzily and less, SO
stirred the critics that various censor
ing delegates from the police depart
ment were sent to pass judgment upon
its moral effect, and finally Chief of
Police Shippy went in person. In this
crisis the proposal was made to give
the Salome role, sandals, beads and
all, to a man. 1t was pointed out that
nearly every woman who has tried to
portray this delicate story, through the
Interpretation of a dance. has been I'M
able to hold herself within the bounds
of propriety, and all over the country,
beginning at the Metropolitan Opera
house In New York, and sweeping
westward, there has been a wave of
opposition to the exhibition of sensu-
Gus dancers. Should Miss Faust be
stopped by the police the only Salome
in Chicago who will still remain I'M
molested from police interference will
be a Harvard graduate in a minstrel
aggregation.

make his report and paymep- of the
order was refused. Farce vas told to
call later in the day for his change,
but instead caused the arrest of the
conductor for larceny. The company
will defend the conductor, and Mr..
Beggs has issued a public statement
that whenever a conductor has cas-
on to believe he is being offered large
bills with the hope that he will let the
passenger ride free rather than
change the bill, he is to take the bill
and give an order on the cashier for
the change. Women especially. says
Mr.. Beggs, are given to working this
trick.

SO that by standing in the hall she
could see all that went on inside the
bedroom, Mrs. Minnie Adler, of
the pretty young married women of
the East End has left her apartments.
Before leaving, however, she is said
to have scattered a few papers of cay
enne around the rooms so that her
peeping landlady might have trouble.
Mrs. Adler was arrested and after a
spicy private hearing before Magis-
trate Negley was fined S25 and costs
for malicious mischief.
Several months ago Mrs. Adler and
her husband, who is connected with a
down town banking institution, went
to board at the elegant place of Mrs.
Jane Wallace, 1902 Kirkwood street
Some time since talk came to Mrs. Ad-
Ter which led her to believe that pry-
ing res were upon her and her hus-
band even in the privacy of their bed
room, and she claims to have diseov-
cred the special arrangement of the
mirrors.
Mrs. Adler admitted last night that
she had scattered the pepper Just to

Used to Cook Curtis, Johns father.
The false politicians made another
man postmaster and embittered old
Mr.. Cook who had bought a new horse
and painted his barn in anticipation
of an extra income. John Cook Curtis
was also intensely disappointed.
Never mind, pop" he said in
three years I'll have a vote and all
these dinged politicians will be after
it. I solemnly swear lot one of them
will get it as long as 1 live. I'll keep
my own vote to myself, and l shall
form my own political opinions and ex.
press them.
John Cook Curtis is 66 years old
now and has kept his oath. Despite
arguments, all pressure, he has
never been to the polls. He hides away
election days, but before each cleo
ton he makes stump speeches, tell
ing his fellows how he thinks they
should vote. He is talking Taft now.
The thoughtless and scoffing say
John Cook Curtis is "grouchy," but
he is only idiosyncratic. He never
to a woman, lives alone, and
does his own cooking, homework and
washing. He has never tasted liquor
tobacco. He devotes himself strict
ly to his business of manufacturing
cloth. Despite his privations Mr.. Cur
tbs is in fair health.

There are many negro leaders who
are just as anxious for a solution Of
the race problem as any white man,
and upon the cooperation of these
Mr.. Roosevelt could count, provided
he evolved a plan that promised a
solution without injustice to the ne

There never. was a time when a
greater task awaited the coming of
a man. If Mr.. Roosevelt has in mind
