The sheriff, believing he reached for
a revolver, drew forth his own and
commanded his prisoner to throw up
his hands. King hurled long, dark
looking object at the sheriff. Florance
jumped back In time to dodge it, then
uttered an exclamation of surprise,

itself in all directions, panic-stricken.

walk than 1t sprang Kissing at the
sheriff F1orance killed it and King
fed down the railroad tracks with
Florance in pursuit. Others joined N
the case and King was captured after
a race of six blocks.
On being seized again by the sheriff
the prisoner made another reach for
his pocket, but this time the sheriff
was too quick and threw him to the
ground, handcuffed him and took him
to Jail in an automobile.
In Jail the prisoner was locked in a
cell and ordered to empty mis- pockets
and strip. Four more rattlers were
concealed in his coat pockets. He
was ordered to place his pets in a
bucket and seal the receptacle with a
lid. The bucket was carried into the
Jail yard and the snakes killed.

Ohio Oats Crop Is Record Breaker.

Ohio" will have a record breaking
oats crop this year, all reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Advices
from leading grain dealers over the
state bear this out and in addition the
number of applications being made for
insurance on grain stored in elevators
is another indication.
The secretary of the company says
that in July and August of this year
the risks taken on oats in elevators
are more than double those taken in
the same months last year and that
all reports coming to the Ohio Grain
Dealers association indicate that the
yield of oats will break all records in
this state and in addition the grain is
of high quality. One reason for the
large amount of grain in the elevators
is that there is serious shortage in
grain cars and shippers are not able
to get their stocks away without
great delay. Reports in regard to the
corn crop are that as yet the dry
weather has not damaged the central
Ohio crop to any extent but rain is
badly needed and a continuation of
dry weather will canse some damage.

NEARLY Welded HIS SISTER
Relationship Discovered and Marriage
Averted in the Nick of
Time.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Fate played q
strange trick upon brother and sister

about to be made man and wife.
Robert Henderson, the groom, had
been adopted when left an orphan in
childhood by family named Hender-

Last fall the brother came to Me-
Kees Rocks to work in the plant of

there he met Elizabeth, not knowing
it was his sister. A betrothal fol

In the marriage license the young
man wanted his own name to appear,
and he sent to Richmond for the nee.

IN the Coal Trade.

AS an indication of the amount Of
coal which will be handled over the
Hooking Valley railway from the
Chesapeake & Ohio, when the local
road is placed in condition, with pass
ing tracks and adequate motive pow
er, is the contract which the c. & o..
has just made with the c., H. & D.
The c., H. & D. has contracted to
handle quantity of coal which will
require the placing of ten new engines
and train crews on it's line from Iron
ton to Toledo to take care of the coal
which will be turned over to it by the
c., H. & D. The coal will be turned
over to the c., H. & D. at Ironton,
coming over the Norfolk G Western
from Kenova, using the latters bridge
across the Ohio river The agree
ment will remain in force until the
close of navigation this fall. The
route is not a good one, as the heavy
grades north of Ironton will require
all trains to be double-headed and
each can not handle over IS cars on
these grades, even with two engines.

SACRED SONG CHARMS SNAKE
"Nearer, My God to Thee" Used on q
Rather by Three California
Women.

San Bernardino, Cal.-Singing "Near-
er, My God to Thee" three women
charmed a rattlesnake which had just
crawled from beneath a cushion upon
which one of them was seated, out on
the Vale ranch.
Mrs. F. P. Dunlap, Mrs. Harry ALI
lison and Mrs. w. A. Vale were seated
on lounge under the trees when Mrs.
Dunlap perceived the snake. Instantly
she thought of music charming rep
tiles and she whispered, Let's sing"
She commenced to hum the sacred
air and the others, not knowing why,
took it up. The snake, with head
poised, paused and Mrs. Dunlap slowly
arose and beckoned the others to fol-
low, which they quietly did.
After having gained safe distance
the others discovered what their dan
ger had been. Armed with clubs. the
women then killed the snake.

District Has Clear Record.

The Eleventh internal revenue col
lection district of Ohio has a clear
sheet on the collection of the federal
corporation tax. The district is one
Of the few in the country in which
every corporation liable for the tax
has settled with the government in
full.
There are 28 counties in the dis
trict, but over half of the corpora
tions subject to the tax are in Frank
lin county. Practically all of them
paid the tax before the penalty took
effect, although few were compelled
to pay a per cent. penalty for not
getting their payments in on time. In
only one instance was it necessary for
the collector to have a distraint war
rant issued and before it could be
served the offending corporation came
in and paid the tax with penalty and
interest.

Get Mud Instead of Cement.

That the state board of public
works has lost thousands of dollars
of state money within the last few
years on cement works contracts was
brought to light a few days ago.
Chief Engineer Marker several
months ago began discharging from
the canal service men appointed by
the board to inspect the construction
work on cement retaining walls.
bridges and sluiceways on both the
Miami & Erie and Ohio canals.
Marker said that his reason for so
doing was that he had discovered that
incompetent inspection had resulted
in heavy losses to the state.
On the northern division of the
Ohio canal, between Cleveland and
Dresden, a recent inspection devel-
oped that several pieces of cement
work, costing from $4,000 to $4,000
each had crumbled into decay within
three years after built.
Little cement had been used in
their construction, but plain mud
had been used. according to Marker.
Members of the board are paid
$4,000 year salary and $500 travel
ing expenses.

Columbus.-Respon to the gov

the street car mems strike, ten COM
panies of the First regiment of Gin
cinnati, Battery C, Troop B and the
ambulance corps section Of Columbus
are on duty here. In all, including
officers, there are 585 soldiers in serv-
ice, and they will cost the state about
$4,000 a day.
Thirty-five officers are included in
the list, and they receive pay ranging
from SO to $13 a day. The average
pay of an officer is about Sc.
Estimates given out by military Of
ficials place the number of men in the
First regiment at 430 in Battery c and
Troop B at 100 in all; ambulance
company, 20, and officers, 80.
Transportation Of troops to and
from Columbus will cost the state be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. Estimated
daily cost of maintaining present mill
tary forces in Columbus is $1,SO5, not
including incidentals, which may run
from $25 to several hundred.
Straw to Make Soft Beds.
Each regular soldier or trooper will
receive 81 day for each day in sery-
ice. Pay of officers will average Sc.
Subsistence, at 40 cents day per
man, will cost the state about $3.50.
Daily wagon transportation will cost
$50, and automobile hire $3.50. Straw
and hay will cost about SIS day.
Each horse will be allowed IA
pounds of hay and 12 pounds of oats
each day and each soldier will be CIV
en- Is pounds of straw every two
weeks. The straw will be used in
rendering soft the beds of the war
riors.
May Postpone State Fair.
Unless the strike is settled within
two weeks, the state board of agri'
culture will probably postpone indeti-
nitely the state fair, scheduled for the
week commencing September 5. A
meeting of the board will be held be.
fore the close of August to consider
the subject.
''The state board would lose from
$4,000 to 100000 if the fair should
he held during the strike" said the
secretary of the board. Few people
would ride while cars are stoned and
dynamited.' The strike has been so
well advertised throughout the coun'
try that l am sure few would come
here for our fair"
The indications were that the ex.
hibits this year would double those OF
any other state fair. Hundreds Of ap'
plicants for exhibitors space have
been turned away. Thirty acres
added to the fair grounds would not
provide sufficient space for all those
who have applied for the privilege OF
exhibiting their wares.

Ohio Apple Crop.

Apple buyers who have been in
southern Ohio, looking over the pros
pect for the apple crop this fall, say
that there will be bumper crop in
Gallia, Meigs, Washington and other
river counties. The spring freeze
which practically destroyed the apple
crop in central and northern Ohio did
not damage the southern crop, as it
was too far advanced to be injured.
1t is said that the southern Ohio
growers generally sprayed their or
cnards last spring. and that the crop
will be the largest and best in years.
