 A Singular Accident
 Edward House. of Falls Village, had a narrow escape from being seriously injured few days ago. He was driv- ing his team of young horses to Canaan and in some way quantity of wire became tangled in the fifth wheel MT. House went under the wagon to re- move the wire While he was doing so a couple of dogs scared the team and the latter ran away dragging MT. House along the road under the wagon.

but from a genuine liking for the rep tiles. For a number of years past he has been in the habit of conducting a little snake hunt of his own every spring. Last year he estimates that he must have put an end to at least one hundred snakes. This spring,
 MT. ScamerhOrn'S murderouS ten dencies were transformed into what has since developed into an exceptional partiality for the snake family, partic- ularly the black snake. When the first farm days of spring arrived, he took his station near the den, and when their (to him) graceful forms be- gan to crawl out into the sun, he lost time in capturing them and remov- ing them to the house where he has since kept them captive. In this way Canaan's snake charmer captured twenty-five of the snakes and kept them together in a single big box. When he wished to enjoy their com pany, the box would be removed to an open space and the entire mass of snakes would be transferred to posi- tions on MT. Scamerhorn's person. Some would entwine themselves about his arms. others would appreciate the warmth of his hands and would draw their cold bodies through his fingers; still others would secure the position of advantage about his neck.

So, 900 Damage Suit.

W. A. Badgley, through his attor-
neys, w. o. Jackson and T. j. Smith,
filed petition in the circuit clerk S
office Tuesday morning in suit
against Walter Fuller for 81 900 actu-
al and $1,000 punitive damage, for
assault. The petition sets out that
defendant Fuller assaulted and beat
plaintiff Badgley, hitting him in the
mouth with his fist, broke his false
teeth, knocked him down, shook him
severely and almost broke his jaw,
that defendant is a young, strong,
active man and the plaintiff an old
man in feeble health.
This is an echo of the old Garner
Harrison neighborhood trouble, which
came near ending tragically, when
Garner shot Harrison from behind a
tree in his front yard. 1t appears the
last difficulty occurred in Norfleet &
Ream's store one day last week when
Walter Fuller struck Will Badgley in
the mouth, knocking him down and
breaking his false teeth. Fuller was
arrested and plead guilty to common
assault before Squire Jeter, who
fined him enc dollar and cost.

Two Killed in Pistol Duel.

Newtonia, Mo-, Sept.-As the re-
suit Of feud which has kept friends
of the principals divided into. bitter
factions for years, Henry Estes and
Ben Marshal, both prominent resi-
dents of Newtonia, fought a pistol
duel in front of the postoffice build
ing here at $50 o'clock Wednesday
morning which resulted in the almost
instant death of both men. Four
shots were fired, two by each man,
and each received two bullets in his
body.
The trouble between the two men,
it is said, began a number of years
ago over a trivial business transac-
ture. When they met in front of the
postoffice words passed between
them and both drew revolvers. Estes
fired the first shot and received two
bullets from Marshal's revolver in
reply. Both fell and then Estes rails.

The Best Tariff Law,

Minona, Mimi, Sep. 21-President
Taft has stamped the Payne Bill as
"the best tariff law the Republican
party ever passed." In a 1000 word
speech at the opera house here he
made detailed defense of the entire
measure. He vigorously upheld the
action of Representative James A.
Tawney Of this city, who supported
the bill, and therefore is in danger of
defeat and said that had the bill been
defeated or the President vetoed il,
the Republican party would have
been demoralized, the tariff agitation
would have continued, business
would have been stalled and prosper
ity halted, and the other pledges of
the Republican party, to carry out
the policies of Roosevelt, would have
been impossible Of redemption. The
president asserted that the insurgents
who had voted aqaiest the bill had
abandoned the Republican party.

The post office at Montrose was
burglarized Friday night but the bur-
glar secured small booty from his
work. Entrance was effected by
breaking in the front door and the
safe door was blown open by nitro
glycerine. In the main part of the
safe was book containing a few
stamps and 81 in change, and the
burglar took the money. He did not
attempt to force the door of the in
side compartment which held the
main stock of stamps and between
5000 and $500 in money. The rob-
berry was not discovered until Satur-
day morning at 6 o'clock when the
office was opened to make up the

to a dispatch to The Republic from
Mount Sterling, ILL.,, last week. Tip
top NOtcher's demise, the dispatch
further relates, was directly due tc
rheumatism, from which he had sui
fered with great patience and forti-
tude for many months.
Tiptop Notcher was Duroc Jersey
boar, winner of the sweepstakes at
the St. Louis Fair many years ago,
and the first hog to bring 5000 at a
sale. He was in the heavyweight
class, and when in form tipped the
scales at 1850 pounds.
Tiptop Notcher's death will be fell

ers and Business Men.

Edwin Sydney Canman, Industrial
Director of the American Raw Milk
Products Company, of Chicago, was
in Butler the last OF the week and
closed deal with j. p. Edwards for
one acre of ground, in the rear OF
Mr.. Edwards residence property,
adjoining the railroad and near the
depot, for a cite on which to establish
a milk reducing plant to cost $50, 900,
Mr.. Canman informs us that il is the
intention of his company to establish
plants at the following towns: But
Ter, Nevada, Clinton, Sedalia, Mober-
ly, Chillicothe, and Maryville, Mo-,
with central manufacturing plant at
Kansas City, to cost 100000.
The branch plants reduce the skim
med milk to solids, 10 pounds of
milk making pound of powder,
which is shipped to the central manu-
featuring plant at Kansas City. From
these solids il is claimed possible to
manufacture $50 commercial products
for food and toilet.
This plant when in operation offers
market for the farmers skinned
milk, which heretofore has been used
only for hog feed, and that at price
that is remumerative. This compa-
ny has number of their plants in
successful operation in the state of
New York and in Michigan. A large
number of plants are being establish
ed in Oklahoma, and will be in other
states as fast as the work can be rush
ed. The company promises to have
the Missouri plants in operation by
spring of 1910.
Mr.. Canman was preceded here
by j. B, Briggs, Industrial Agent for
company, who was in Butler and
Bates county for several days inter-
viewing large number of our prom
inent farmers, and he made very
favorable report of the country and
conditions for the location of a reduc-
ing plant here.

CULTIVATE WASTE LAND

f(e has not been until the past few years that the farmers of Connecticut hhave begun to cultivate the rough land qzm thelr farms, and, it has been with IUnuch: fervor that tho diligent worker
 has proven that waste land may be made valuable. There is certainly enough trough land in this state, and it Is sin ,cerely hoped that this problem of making waste land profitable will be worked out successfully.
 The belief of many scientific men is, zthat tn g rough country can be made to
 grow fruit and at least furnish feed for rpoultry, cattle and sheep. There seems ito be no doubt but that this is possible, aud it has occasionally been experiment. ed upon successfully, by individuals. But those industrious farmers who have sstrisd the transformation of the rough IaRd find the cost is so great the work ,spannot be attempted by the average sagriculturist. Apple and peach growing calls for careful and continuous cultiva- ,tian and spraying of the trees. It also Ezfeeds much fertilizer, the cost of which Edx high; cattle in order to do well must have a reasonable amount of range, and because of the many destructive dogs, sshs sheep should be watched carefully.
 1t must also be considered that it requires srnneh labor to till this land and as labor sss very high throughout the country and sstatS, the only possible way that this waste land can be made productive is by sa large investment of hard cash.

THE UNEDucATED coNNoISsEUR

Ina large city there happened comi- zeal incident short time ago but it did .no6 however prove to be comical to some who were present and who proved to be victims.
 1t occurred in large cafe where sev- ~sral young well educated men were con- sgregated to spend the evening. While sshe happy party were indulging in the s-laughing water" young fellow, who was stranger to the party, rolled in and seemed very much excited. The young znaen, who were very .talkatiye at this stage, began to question him as to what was the trouble. The stranger began 5aslling of how unfortunate he had been and during his story he used the word ~'infortunate" several times. He had mot used it many times, however, be fore the merry party began to laugh and sahe spokesman of the gathering told him his story was very interesting but his
 English was slightly off the key in us ing unfortunate" instead of unfortun- ate. The visitor of the congregation protested hOtly that unfortunate was ab- solutely correct. This resulted in bets TTbeing offered that the word unfortunate vvvas not proper He was given odds and Inc put up all the cash he had ten dollars, and the educated young men put up if aeen dollars against his ten. A dict1on- .sry was then obtained and it was found eAfaA unfortunate was exactly as correct GAS unfortunate After he had received his cash he told the members of the iparty how easy they were and that he had already that evening made ten dol aars on the same word. They were sour bunch but this is an instance where aAhe uneducated man proved to be con- .g1OiSseur.
