SNAKE SWALLOWED GOURD.
Reptilian Egg Thief Gets His just
Deserts.

The Kershaw Era says Mrs. w.
D. Ussery, of the Oakhurst section,
recently began missing some OF her
young chickens and the nest egg
from one of her hen nest, and grow
ing tired of the lost of her eggs she
,ut an egg shaped gourd about the
size of a goose egg in the nest. on
going back to the nest the next day
she observed that the gourd had
also disappeared. She soon discov-
cred what had caused the loss OF
her chickens and egs.
ION putting her hand down In the
nest to rearrange the straw 1t came
in contact with monster snake.
She Immediately summoned her
husband, who, with some difficulty,
succeeded in killing the pertile,
which proved to be a chicken snake
about six feet long. On examination
It was found that he had swallowed
the nest gourd. Since the death Of
the snake no chickens or eggs have
been missed" If any Of our readers
miss egg from the hens nest they
will now know what becomes of
them.

ACCOUNTS DO NOT BALANCE.
Georgetown Treasurer Admits Appa
rent Shortage of $4,000.

A special dispatch from George
town says persistent rumors Of q
shortage in the accounts Of County
Treasurer J. F. Detyens have been
current since the 18th instant, fol-
lowing an examination of the books
by Comptroller Jones and Chief
Clerk E. 9. Wilson, but as nothing
Of an authentic nature could be
gathered nothing was mentioned In
the papers.
1t is now definitely stated by those
in position to know and in fact Is
Admitted by Treasurer Detyens, that
there is an apparent shortage Of
about $6,S00, which cannot be ac-
counted for. Mr.. Detyens asserts
that mistakes in bookkeeping incl
dental to the complicated system in
vogue in the office is undoubtedly re-
sponsible for the outstanding balance
against him.
AS Mr.. Detyens is young man Of
quiet and thrift; habits and appears
to have always lived an upright life,
the idea of his having used s6,SOO
of the county funds for his personal
ends seems most improbable. He
has never gambled or speculated.

Eight Mail Clerks Wee Saved From
Drowning by the Fact that the

Which Allowed Them to Get Out

Six lives were lost, three persons
were probably fatally injured ano
some fifty more were hurt in the
wreck Of a Wabash passenger trair
that plunged into the Missouri River

The dead were members of the

OF the eight cars in the train, five
coaches and the locomotive are now
in the river. A chair car and two
Pullmans remained uninjured.
For days floods undermined the
roadbed, making it too weak to hold
up the heavy trains.
AS the passenger train was run.

but there was great confusion as the
cars slipped and rolled into the MUIR

scious when found.
DR.. Turner Lohvech, Of St. Louis

James w. Robinson, who was ar

in Memphis, Tenn for the murder
in 1907, of Jas. Black, shoe DEAF

Springs and with his bride was en-

Robinson confessed at the behest
of his bride. After the chief of po-
lice had questioned Robinson for
some time, Mrs. Robinson exclaimed:
Jimmie, if you are the man, tell
them. It will make no difference
to me, because I will stick by you,
no matter what the circumstances"
Robinson, white and shaking, then
said: Chief, l am the man you

Much v1unted Reduction is Put
ting the Rates
BACK TO OLO LEVEL
The Mention of Taft's Victory Makes
Aldrich Smile-Leader Of High
Tariff Men Well Pleased at Pros
pect Of Getting Conference Report
Adopted and Bill Signed.

In his Saturdays letter to The
State Zach McGhee says there Is
some talk To-Day, not much in those
circles chiefly concerned for the fate
of the Republican party to the effect
that President Taft has "won his
fight" for downward revision. Some
Republicans who have been denounc-
ing the tariff bill are now saying It
is going to be good bill. All this
means that adjournment is nigh.
Revision downward" has come to
mean putting rates back to the Ding
ley law, the protests against which
brought this session of congress. Mr..
Aldrich and the high tariff advocates
smile, for things are going their
way.
The conference report will doubt
less be made Tuesday and there will
be some talk, but the practically
unanimous impression here Is that
both houses will accept the confer
ence report and Mr.. Taft will sign
it. 1t will be decided raise from
the Dingley law on many items OF
common consumption.
While rates on some things, espec-
tally those which the manufacturers
buy, are lowered, in no case is there
material cutting of rates on what
the manufacturers sell.
Cotton bagging goes back on the
dutiable list, and the cotton schedule
will remain, to all effect, upon
prices just as Mr. Aldrich has written
it. AS to Mr.. Taft's winning fight,
he can not win a fight until he first
gets into one.
He has been begging Mr.. Aldrich
to put certain raw materials which
the manufacturers buy on the free
list. Mr.. Aldrich naturally would
want them on the free list, but to
draw the fire from articles which the
people buy and which the manufac-
turers sell the willy Rhode Islander
holds out. He wanted to give the
president chance to Ajax a while
longer and get the people shouting.
Now he may yield and give. the
manufacturers their materials free.
That is the victory today again at
tributed to Mr.. Taft. Some minor
and wholly immaterial cha. Ses may
be made on some Of the finished
products to make a feint OF the con-
stistency, but the members of the
conference committee are not telling
even of these Zach McGhee.

STRANGE DISEASE
1T KILLS CATTLE AND ATTACKS
HUMAN BEINGS.
Losses of Live Stock Considerable
and Government is Lending Aid to
Check It's Ravages.

Check Its Ravages.
Charbon, strange but deadly and
loathsome disease which affiicts cat
tie, and which has killed thousands
of valuable animals in Louisiana
has attacked human beings now and
many men are under treatment. In
! Leesburg, the county seat of Gamer
on parish, eight humans have been
stricken. Up to date no deaths have
resulted.
Charbon has afflicted cattle fol-
centuries, but has seldom visited
this country. 1t was known to the
ancients in Egypt, and often scourg'
ed the Asiatic and Oriental countries
1t is caused by germ which enters
the animals skin through an abra-
sion. 1t multiplies and causes an
Inflammation which turns into a tn.
morous or cancerous growth, which
terminates in blood poisoning.
The disease first made its appear
ance about June l in two localities
in southwest Louisiana, along the
Mermentau river, near Lake Arthur
and at Iowa, near Lake Charles. It
was not detected in time and spread
rapidly over the neighboring parish
es. Germs from the dead cattle in
tested the ground upon which the
animals had died, and were thus
communicated to other victims.
The United States government,
alarmed by the inroads the disease
has made, has sent experts from the
bureau Of animal industry to assist
local veterinarians in fighting the
plague. They are urging cremation
of infected animals and the vacci-
nation Of all others. Once an animal
is infected, there is no known rem
edy, but vaccination seems effective
in making them immune.
Strict repressive measures were
successful in several parishes, but in
Cameron, cattle dead Of the disease
were allowed to lie unburied upon
the prairie and the marshes and
swans of flies and mosquitoes car
ried the germs to other cattle. In
this parish one-fourth Of the ami
mails have died. Since the govern
ment experts have been in charge,
however, the inhabitants have taken
heart, and conditions are improving.
