SeaSonable Snake Stories.

denced by the following snake story
from Luray A strange species of the
reptile family was seen on the Shen.
andoah river, near Luray, by Elder
R. T. Strickler's daughter, Martha,
The serpent was about three feet in
length, large around the body, with
red and black stripes, while the head
was crimson red. Another strange
feature was that as it disappeared ii
bawled like calf.
Here's an interesting story from the
Charles Town Spirit of yesterday: Rob-

male rattlesnake near Fairmont, in
the Blue Ridge mountains in this
county, which contained twenty-five
eggs. 1t had ten rattles and but.
ton, making it thirteen years old
The snake struck Mr.. Bell twice on
the leg, and it is probably owing t.
the fact that he had on three pairs OF
trousers that he is now alive, the

SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT NO
VACANCIES Will OCCUR IN
THREE OF DISTRICTS.
Friendly suit Of Chairman Burdick
Against Secretary Of State Decid.
ed at Cheyenne and Court HoIcs
That only Judge Carpenters Term
Will Expire This Year.

In the supreme court this morning
was handed DOWN a decision of wide
interest owe the state and II which
has been a topic of discussion at near.
ly every general election for a num-
Der of years past, the length of term
of a judge elected TO succeed an in
cumbent who has not served a full
term of six years, says the Cheyenne
Tribune.
The decision was in a suit brought
by Charles w. Burdick, chairman OF
the republican state central commit.
tee against William R. Schnitger, sec.
rotary of state, to compel him by a
writ of mandamus TO issue a call for
the election of a judge for each of the
four judicial districts of the state.
Constitutional Provision.
There has been much discussion ov-
er the question and the suit was
brought to finally quiet it. The prin-
cipal point insisted upon by the attor,
ney general, who appeared for the
secretary of state, was that the pro
oio "a Az Nhtt SohbbiNutioh NhiS
provides that there shall be elected at
general elections by the electors of
each judicial district, one Judge, whose
term shall be six years from the first
Monday in January succeeding their
election.
The court accepted the view that
this referred to all judges elected at
a general election, regardless of the
expired term of the candidates prede-
cessor, and the opinion says:
Applies to AN Judges.
Upon the face of this provision
it applies as well to a Judge elected to
fill a casual vacancy as to n elected
Immediately preceding the expiration
of the term of a previously elected in,
cumbent.
1T amounts to the same as saying
that the term of the judge of the dis
trict court elected at any general cleo
ton shall be six years from the first
Monday in January following the cleo
ton at which he was chosen.
Now No Vacancies.
Being of the opinion that the cleo
ton of 1904 in the Third and Fourth
districts and in 1906 in the First dis.
trict were for full ~six-year terms, and
that there is no vacancy requir.

May EIectrify Line.

Officers of the Denver, Laramie and
Northwestern Railway company have
been in consultation with B. D. San
born, owner of Boyd lake, east of Love-
land, for the purpose Of securing esti-
mates regarding the amount of water
which the lake could furnish to gene
rate electricity for the road. Those
interested in the road acknowledge
that it has in contemplation a gigantic
electric scheme, if feasible, by which
to operate its road.
The plan is to utilize the waters of
Boyd lake, the Poudre, the North
Platte, Laramie, Wind, Snake and
Columbia rivers for furnishing power
along its route and in no way interior
ing with the use of these waters for
irrigation. The plans include dams to
b built in the streams to secure the
necessary fall and also the operation
of the company's coal mines near
Lander, Wyo., by the erection Of an
electrical plant there.

Daughter Of Former Partner.
Frances Folsom was the daughter OF
a former law partner of Mr.. Cleveland
in Buffalo. After her graduation she
travelled in Europe. On June 2, 1886,
shortly after her return to America,
she was married to the president in
the White house.
Birth Of First Child.
In another and more popularity in.
teresting the second advent OF
Cleveland was different. He was now
a thorough family man. The Cleve-
lands had a baby, little Ruth, born in
New York October 8, 1891. Her death
a few years after her parents retire
ment to Princeton, N. j., was a matter
of general regret. Mrs. Cleveland dur
ing the second term further endeared
herself to the American people.
Four Children Living.
Mr.. Cleveland settled for himself the
problem as to what to do with an ex-
president by retiring gracefully to
Princeton, N. J., in the shadow Of the
great university which he as a poor
boy vainly had hoped to enter. Here
he built a home and grew old with
his family of bright young children

seeretary's Statement.
Secretary Cortelyou made the fol
lowing statement regarding former
President Cleveland:
Death a Keen Sorrow.
although not entirely unexpected
by those who knew Mr.. Cleveland's
real condition, his death is none the
less a keen sorrow. He was a fine
American type, rising from %obscurity
to the highest Office in the peoples
gift through sheer force of character,
a character so rugged, SO loyal and
SO sincere, as to excite not only the
respect and affection of those who
e privileged to be his friends, but
those opposed to him for political or
other reasons.
An Ideal American.
Il know of no man in our history
more unf1inching in the performance
of what he believed to be his duty.
No man realized more fully the ideal
of i~ncorruptible public servant. His
example has been most wholesome in
these years of social and economic un.
rest, and the influence of his calm,
reasonable and hopeful spirit made
for a better understanding of the
needs and responsibilities of our citi-
zenship. His death is a great loss to
the country"
