TOO MUCH BUSINESS.
Motor Car Service in California En-
tirely Too Successful.

The new motor car which the
Santa Fe railroad recently put in
operation between San Bernardino
and Los Angeles is proving too much
of a success. according to the San
Bernardtno Sun. The Sun says that
the car has made so much business
for the road that it will be taken off
and a regular train substituted. Says
the Sun:
The officials of the Santa Fe are
now seriously considering discontin-
uing the motor car between this city,
Los Angeles and loop points and in
stating a regular steam train.
This step has been made neces-
sary by the immense passenger bust
ness which has been developed by the
motor car. Although the car is only
built to carry rs people, for weeks it
has been going into Los Angeles with

SNAKES IN RELIGIOUS RITES.
New Ananias Makes His Appearance
in Hutchinson.

Hutchinson. Kan. June ia
case of extreme religious fanaticism
said to exist in Reno county, has been
reported to County Attorney Hetting-
er by H. NJ. GrubbS, assessor of Cove
township, who says that twenty-three
persons have taken up snake worship
and hold regular services, in which
deadly reptiles play the principal
part
Mr.. Grubbs says that he witnessed
one of the snake services Saturday
night in a barn in Cove township,
near his farmhouse. He said the
snakes were allowed to sink their
poisonous fangs in the worshipers'
bodies. The custom has been going
on for several months, and, according
to Mr.. Grubbs, the farmers in the
township are rising up in arms against
the practice.
One mans arm is shriveled and
there are the marks of the snakes
fangs in his wrist, according to Mr..
are made for the reptiles, which are
Gagged and kept expressly for the ser
vices. He asked that a warrant be is
sued for the worshipers. Assistan mt
County Attorney Foote says that no
prosecution could be made unless it
was disturbing, the peace of the COM
munity or endangering the lives of
children
Levi Carter, telephone operator
at Leoti, small town near here, is
said to be a convert to the faith. His
father has made application to Pro-
bate Judge Jordan for an examination
as to his sanity.

been bitten by snakes. and one child

He WHO RUNS READS

At last has come merciful con-

the making up of railway timetables,
and the Denver and Rio Grande
comes 9out boldly with the assertion
that except to a railroad man or a
few constant travellers the average
railroad folder is but trif1e less COM

the truth of this statement probably
not a few of the Iaity who know by
experience will lend their hearty sup
port.
He that runs may read is the
maxim which has been kept in view
by the Denver and Rio Grande In
planning of it's latest folder, and the
object has been to produce something
which anyone who can read English
can understand at glance.
One complete side of the folder is
taken up by the eastbound schedules
and the other side by the westbound
tables. Across the top of the sheet
is a large scale map of the main line,
showing each of the stations passed
en- route from ogden to Denver or
vice versa.
Below, in the body of the folder,
comes the really new feature, emitting
the work to the caption of ''Descrip-

taken up in order as it is reached by
the traveller; opposite the name ap-

j. a. Reynolds Landed in Wichita and
Was Arrested

Wichita, Kan, June III. A
Reynolds, with a suit case which con-
tanned twenty-four one-half pint bot
ties filled with whisky, was arrested by
the police and is being held for in
vestigatfon.
He boarded the train at Mulvane,
but before doing SO he bought the
liquor and put it in his suit case and
brought it to the city. The local
officers received advice of his coming
and were waiting for him on the sta
ton platform when he alighted.
Upon arriving at the station, he ex-
planned to the officers that he was
preparing to go on fishing trip with
some friends, and had purchased the
Booze to be used as an antidote for
rattlesnake bites. He claimed that it
had been reported to him that the
ratt1esnakes were numerous along the
banks of the stream, and that he
brought it along to prevent being
poisoned.
