Celebration q Success.
Oper 500 visitors from near and
came to Tabor to celebrate
Independence Day.
Tabor Defeats TyndaII.

The 4th of July celebration
which took place here Monday
was a success in every way DIES
pite the muddy roads and threat
ening weather. The day was /;
cloudy one, but no rain arrived
In the morning it was believed
that the day would be a failure
but these prospects banished Al
the arrival of the passenger from
the west which brought hundreds
of people from towns in that di
rection and in the afternoon seve.
raj hundred more arrived from
the east.
The morning program by rea
son of bad weather was commen.
ced in the afternoon at 2 o'clock
in the large tent with patriotic
songs by the choir of mixed
voices and speeches by Hon. Jos.
Janousek, who delivered one OF
the best speeches for this occa-
sion we have heard for a long
time. MIR. Janousek, is yet a
young man but has wonderful ora
torical ability. His speech receiv
ed the APPLAUSE it truly deserved,
On accent of the absence of Very
Rev. 4. A. Bouska who was to de
liver a Bohemian speech, a short
talk in Bohemian was made byJ.
A. Dvorak. II is to be regretted
that Father Bouska did not speak,
as he is an excellent speaker and
the auditors were deprived of the
opportunity to hear him from a
public platform. But the fault is
traceable to the bad weather. The
committee, thinking that the
morning program in which the
speeches were included, would be
a failure decided not to hold it.
Being so informed Father Bouska
left for Yankton, and came back
in the afternoon at which time thu
postponed morning program was
exhausted.
The base ball game, following
the speeches, ETC., vas common
ced at 8 p. m and was a good one
from beginning to the end. A few
errors were made due to the WEI
ground, but aside of these the
players did exceptionally well,
The result was a victory for the

Wilmington, Del-Although poultry
raisers all over the country, after long
years of experimenting in the breed

duction, have failed to produce hen
that will lay more than one egg a
day, yet Lilbourne Martin of this city,
is the proud possessor of hen which
not only occasionally lays two eggs
a day, but sometimes turns out three
eggs within "a hours
Persons who have had long expert
ence in poultry raising who heard Of
wonderful performances of the hen
were at first inclined to doubt that the
hen had actually laid two eggs day,
as they had never heard of such a
case or read of any reports of cases
of this kind in the poultry journals.

one held in Australia some years ago,

Seattle, Wash.-Perhaps the most
picturesquely situated newspaper Of
flee in the country is that of the Meg
aphone at Quilcene, Wash. The own
er is M. F. Satterlee, pioneer news
paper man. He says:
1T is hardly possible there is an
other newspaper in the world situated
In a similar way to the Megaphone es-
tablishment. On the one hand, within
less than four rods of the Office, is a
virgin forest, extending back to Walk
er mountain, while on the other are
the waters of the Pacific ocean, which
pay daily visits within one hundred
feet of the huge water wheel driving
the Megaphone press. The wheel is
turned by sparkling mountain stream
that flows in front of the Office and
then empties into the bay. We can
reach out of the window of the estab-

casts its beams at an early hour. In
winter the place Is sheltered from the

Young Martin used no special
method of feeding in forcing the hen
to lay. Persons experienced In poul-
try raising say that by breeding this
hen along with heavy laying fowls a
new strain might eventually be de-
veloped which would break all previ-
GUS egg records.
Common hens often lay less than
one hundred eggs in year; 200 egg
hens are scarce; some breeders have
hens that lay 240 eggs year. A
strain of fowls that would occasional
ly lay two eggs day. and sometimes
three In "a hours during the periods
of year that they were laying, might
go as far above these figures.

which snake had the rudest yawn and

Believing furiously, the bull charged
on Miss Manning. who turned and
ran. The young men arrived on the
scene just as the bull started after
her.
Young Thomas hit the bull with q
stone and 1t turned on him and bowled
him over. The bull was trampling on
Thomas and attempting to gore him
when Taylor smashed him over the
head with fence rail.
Then the bull rushed at Taylor, who
dashed on at ten-second clip. The
bull was young and speedy. too, and
began to gain on Taylor. Feeling that
he could not keep up the pace for
long. Taylor turned toward the Pas.

Into the river Taylor dashed, fol-
lowed by the bull. which. after wading
out shoulder deep, abandoned the
chase.
At this juncture the owner of the
bull and farm hands arrived. and with
pitchforks finally drove the bull back
to the farm.
Young Thomas was not severely
hurt when trampled on by the bull
and Taylor did not mind his ducking.
Miss Manning warmly thanked the
two young men.

Awful Clash at Meal Time il
Philadelphia Zoo.
Sclons of "Flrst Families of India
Fall to Appreciate Atmosphere Of
the "city of RrotherIy
Love-"

Philadelphia, Pa.-Three snakes are
raising cain out in the geological gar
dens- They are raising SO much cain
that all the zoo men, from Superin-
tendent Carson down, are getting
snakes. They arrived at the gardens
the other day, and ever since then
have been whipping up one constant
row and SCATTERING the nerves of
everybody roundabout.
1t Is easy enough to understand,
even in the case of hardened and sea-
soned snake men. For these three
troublous serpents are variousIy
known by such nerve-soothing cpl
thets as snake-eating cobras, or the
tree-climbing cobras, or giant cobras.
And when they bite they kill. Their
venom has no antidote
1t might be added that this species is
the only variety of real snakes that
will show fight to a man without be-
ing first attacked by him. In the 20
ology of the Imagination there are, of
course, other well-known varieties of
equally active sepentines, but they are
pink or blue or green or yellow in
-olor, and they are hard to grasp.
while these snake-eaters at the zoo
are plain stony gray and can be
distinctly felt, If any one cares to try.
They are the latest and snappiest
thing In the cannibal line, are these
cobras, and the story of their trans
portation to the gardens and of their
subsequent lively pranks is no mere
silly season yarn. 1t is story, as the
critics of fiction would say, filled
with the whipcords and the bite of real
life"
They come of one of the first, best
and rarest families of India. They
are scarce and they are valuable.
There are plenty of your common.
man-eating cobras in India, but your
snake eater Is a prize.
Consequently. when Robert d. Car
son, superintendent of the geological
gardens, heard that three of them
were en- route to New York in
wooden box he hurried over and
bought them, eating up a good slice
of zoo money in the transaction. He
bought them of an Indian wild ami
NAL trainer.
When they arrived at the ZOO they
caused great excitement. for every
well-informed zoo keeper knows the
reputation of the snake-eating cobra.
The next day these snakes boiled
up into one of the worst and one of
the most remarkable stews ever en-
countered at the zoo. Keeper Hess had
thrown in the usual daily meal of one
snake per snake to the cobras, on the
natural assumption that each snake
eater would make dive for a de-
tached victim. Some time later he
heard the noise of a regular whip
cracking scrap in the cobra cage and
hurried to the scene.
Two of the cobras were trying to
swallow the same snake. One had
started at the head and the other at
the tail of their victim, and when they
met swallowing hard. at the middle,
in a head-on collision, the air was
thick with flying, flashing cobra.
Hess stood electrified ard helpless |
before the strange sight. What to do |
was question, so he just watched |
By and by they sank to the floor and |
started In strenuous gulping contest.
