Il Was Real Snake Juice"

Because he was able to show the
Jury that he had 'snake Juice" in the
keg instead of booze" Ting Fong
Lee, a Chinese laundryman of Iowa
Falls. was acquitted of conducting a
nuisance and is once more a free man
But the story of "snake juice" con-
tains an interesting narrative of celes-
tial faith and superstition. 1t was
claimed in the evidence brought ag-
ainst Lee when he was indicted and
arraigned in the district court that he
had been dispensing ardents to sundry
lovers of booze. He did not deny that
some congenial spirits had sampled the
contents of his keg which was suppos-
ed by the officers of the law contained
simon pure whiskey, but his content
ion was that it was medicine, and he
proceeded to prove to the court and the
jury that the keg obtained a cele-
brated Chinese remedy for rheuma-
tism.
He had bought In the flowery king
dom a snake at cost of eleven dol
lars. This snake was of peculiar
species and had been killed and cured
after the true method in the Celestial
empire. When received at Iowa Falls
he bought key Of whiskey and placed
the dried snake therein. it being the
belief of Lee and his brethren that
the snake drove away all the evil spir.
its in the whiskey and was a panacea
for all kinds of rheumatism. He pro.
tested that he kept the keg with the
snake in soak therein for purely me.
dical purposes and to convince the
jury the snake in question was pro.
duced in court. That settled it with
the jury and Lee was acquitted. Eek.

Pastor Luz Loses Case.

Judge Benson of Dubuque has enter
ed final decree of Judgment in the suit
of st. Johns German Evangelical
Lutheran church against the Rev.
Henry Luz, former pastor, sustaining
the plaintiff and making the temper
airy injunction permanent. The court
holds the charges in which overzeal
in outside enterprises and notably SELL
ing patent medicine to parishioners
together were sufficient to warrant
the ousting of Luz as preacher, and he
is perpetually enjoined from exercis-
ing any pastoral rights oil the premi-
ses of the church property or entering
the sanctuary.
Luz had been local pastor thirty
years The temporary injunction was
issued last April. when the case excit-
ed statewide interest. His congrega-
tion tried and dismissed him and gave
him notice TO quit the post. Later
synodal officers attempted to remove
him, but Luz was obdurate. Litiga-
ton followed. Luz since, with a
portion of the former congregation
organized new church known as ST.
Matthew and since then has been
conducting services there.

While Will Vansickle's family were
visiting at Ellis Vansickle's in Union
township Sunday afternoon Wills house
was discovered to be on fire. The
neighbors turned out and did all they
could to save what things were down
stairs, but everything, including some
good furniture which was packed up
stairs, was burned 1t is supposed that
the fire started in the garnet, perhaps
from the chimney This will be a blow

A Bold H0ld.up.

Ben Mosher had an experience last
night which he probably would not
care to go through again. He is en-
ploved by Thos. McCook Jr. on his
farm four miles east of Riceville, but
his family lives in town. He had been
home and was returning to Mr.. Nc
Cooks about o'clock in the evening.
When two or three miles out of town
near Aaron St. Johns, he met
a couple of men afoot. who held to the
road and it being very dark night,
Mr.. Mosher thinking there might be
ladies in company, he drew his horse
partly to one side in order not TO
crowd the party whom he met, out of
the road. When he came opposite
them, one of the men hailed him and
asked him for a ride. Mr.. Mosher
drew up his horses aud signified his
willingness to let them in his buggy.
One OF the men, making a pretense
of getting in, approached and putting
one foot on the step reached up and
grasped Mr.. Mosher by the collar,
jerked him from the buggy and held
him while the other fellow went
through his pockets. Not finding
of value they kicked him
and ran away in the direction of Rice
Vile. -Riceville Recorer

Nerve Heiserman Shoots Arm Off.

One of the worst accidents in a long
time happened yesterday afternoon to
H. NJ Heiserman. He, i'll company
with H. Randall and D. Smith, were
hunting rabbits down near Cedar Bluff.
They came down to the creek under the
railroad bridge to get drink Nerve
was standing on one of the stone steps
leading up from the creek, with his gun
butt resting on the step on which he
was standing Randall was nearby and
Nerve called to him for his smoking
tobacco. About the same instant the
gun slipped, and no one knows how il
happened, but it is probable that the
hammer struck on the stone discharging
the barrel, which took off his LETT arm
near the shoulder. AS good fortune
would have it, Will Easton was close
by with a team hauling wood and Mr.
Heiserman was hurried to the home OF
VIM. Hitch, while one of the boy:
fastened to the nearest phone, at thu
Crane home some three-quarters of ;

being so near the shoulder made it yer,

covery are very good. Mr.. Heisermal

Believe He is Insane.

Colesburg was the center of great
deal of excitement the latter part of
last week. A man came to their little
city, and in the morning visited some
of the stores. pricing gloves. AT one
of the places Of business he entered,
he asked the price of pair of gloves
which were hanging in plain view and
after looking at them decided to pur-
chase the pair. He laid down ten
cents. and upon being informed by
the clerk that the price was tif teen
cents, he flew into rage. saying
that he could puchase the same pair
at one of the other stores for ten cents.
In going out the fellow left the store
ajar, and a travelling man who hap
pened to be standing near the door,
stepped mp to close it, and, being seen
by the other, his rage seemed to be
still more increased. Returning to
the door he opened it little way, and
then slammed it with such force that
the plate glass in the doors were
broken. He then started to run, but
was followed by posse of men. The
fellow seemed wholly crazy, seized
pitchfork and endeavored to hold the
crowd at bay, and it was not until the
sheriff with loaded gun appeared on
the scene that he quieted down. He
was tried before justice of the peace
and fined ten dollars, which he was
unable to pay, so was placed in the
county Jail. 1t is thought he is in
sane.

BRYAN IS GOING
RAINBOW CHASING
So Raymond Declares About
Nebraskan's Visit to New
England States.
CHANCES ARE ALL AGAINST
FRACTIONAL DIFFERENCES WILL
MAKE NO CHANGE IN ULTIMATE
RESULTS OF COMING NATIONAL
ELECTION.

Writing from Boston, Mass, in the
Chicago Tribune today, Raymond
says:
So far as l can judge Mr.. Bryan's
intended attack upon solid New Eng
land must have been inspired by just
such sort of rainbow chasing as has
induced certain republican leaders to
believe there is chance of Taft car
rying Arkansas and Tennessee.
1t is true there are certain factional
differences and some local disturbance
in the southern part of New England,
but the chances are the entire north
east section of the country will swing
into line for Taft and Sherman in No
vember beyond the possibility of a
doubt.
Massachusetts, has elected a demo-
cratic governor now and then and
Rhode Island has done the same thing.
Connecticut used to be considered a
doubtful state, and the conditions
there are certainly somewhat disturbed
but in spite of elese facts, the repub-
licanism of the whole of New Eng
land on national issues is not a thing
which can be seriously questioned.

Primary Results Show Kings
County Delegation Solid
Iy Against Him.
GAINS NEW YORK COUNTY.
OPPOSITION THAT DEVELOPED
FOLLOWING RECENT ATTITUDE
OF GOVERNOR BEAT HIM IN
CERTAIN SECTIONS BY VOTES.

New York, Sept 9.-Indications to
day are that only seventy-three dele
gates from New York county will be
instructed for Hughes, while the solid
delegation from Kings county is
against him.
In the primaries of the democratic
and republican parties in the city OF
New York, Governor Hughes made
gains in New York county (Manhat
tam and loses in Kings county
(Brooklyn), but in the latter county
the results are not sufficiently clear
yet to indicate that he will not get
substantial support from that section
He carried enough districts in New
York county TO indicate that his
strength of % delegates can be raised
to rs.
The vote in the selected districts
of Kings county was heavily against
him--703 to $40 in the Eighth, 621 to
159 in the Twenty-first and 5e9 to
451 in the Twenty-third-but it is be
lieved the Kings county delegation
will be divided, 81 for Hughes and 81
against him.
