CAPTURE OF GIANT SERPENT
PROVES 2O-YEAR-OLD STORY
Reptile Driven From Cavern Indian Reservation. Is
Stranger to Locality, But All Believe OfHeard Yarn

HENENA, Mont.-Lon O'Dell and
William Vaught and party of Crow
Indians haye solved a snake story
of 20 years standing by the capture
of a monster, the like of which has
never positively been known to be in
this locality before.
The snake was followed to cav
ern on the Crow Reservation. A
hole was dug several feet back of
the mouth of the cave to intersect
it where the coils of the snake could
be seen. The snake started to leave
its lair, and as it did SO O'Dell threw
a sack in it's face which it seized.
While the teeth of the snake were
fastened in the sack O'Dell threw
the rest of the sack over the reptiles
head and clasped his hands about its
throat just back of its head. The
tussle continued until the snake was
forced into the sack
O'Dell is an experienced snake
catcher, and he believes that the
snake is of a species found in the
Sierra Nevada mountains. 1t is 20
feet long and 10 inches in circum-
ference at the largest part of the
body. 1t is of mahogany color with
stripes of gray-gold. The Crow In
dams have told of a monster snake
for 20 years, but none believed them.

Peruna Tablets Tested,

What are the Peruna Tablets good
for? Has anybody used them enough
to know what they Will do? Read the
following letter ard see. If you have
any doubt as to the genuineness of the
letter, write to Mrs. Lohr, enclose a
stamp for reply, and see whether her
testimonial is genuine or not:
Ravenna, Mich, June 16, 1903.
The Peruna Drug Co.
In regard to the Peruna Tablets,
have used about ten boxes in all.
While l was in Chicago my oldest
daughter was bothered with a cough
all the time. She has had it for four
years. Sometimes it would go away,
and in the winter time it was so bad
that the doctors and professors said
that she had consumption, end the only
way to give her any relief was to per-
form an operation.
l spend so much money for different
medicines, and for doctors also. Moth
Ing seemed to help her.
So ! saw the Peruua Tablets adyer-
tised in the paper, and [ got a box
and 5ried them. She could get some
sleep by taking them. She would be up
ali night and cough. SO in all she took
six boxes, and never was bothered apv
more.
l will leave this for any one to in
quire at our old residence, where we
lived in Chicago. All our neighbors
would say that she could not live with
such cough. You don't know how
thankful l am. She is eighteen years
old.
My oldest son also was bothered with
his stomach, throwing up, and his
bowels so loose all the time. He was
all run down for four months. | also
doctored with him. One would say taig
and the other something else. / started
in to give him the Tablets, and now he
is all right and healthy looking. He
took four boxes. That is all he wants
to take whenever anything a8ls him.
So praise your Tablets just as high
as l have your Peruna. That is all
the medicine that ever comes in my
house. Whenever travel take some
with me. l have had three of my chill
dren sick with scarlet fever two months
ago, and that is all 1 used, was the Pc
runa and the Tablets. I did not lose
any of them.
If there is any more information you
want, why just let me know and win
be glad 70 do so. Yours truly,
Mrs. L. LoHR, Rayenna, Mich.

BALL SPED THROUGH SHIELD.
Baker County Doctor Has Close
Call With His Life.

DR.. B. P. Short and his chauffeur,
Harry Mcconnell, are still thrilled
over the recollection of a close call
which they experienced while riding
in the doctors car on a public road
near the Bob Hobbs home, in Baker
county.
Without any warning a steel bull
let crashed through the glass wind
shield of the machine, passing very
near the occupants of the machine,
but fortunately striking neither of
them. There was no indication of
the point from which the bullet
came, and no clue as to the identity
of the guilty party.
1t is believed that the party who
fired the shot mistook DR.. Short and
his chauffeur for other parties.

In Chicago at the National Dress
makers Association meeting Lillian
Russell, the noted actress and stage
beauty, delivered an address on
What the Actress Owes to Her

In advance Miss Russell stated
that none of her sisters of the stage

deal with some of the dressmakers'
bills that a few of them probably
owe, but would devote herself entire
ly to the discussion of the dress
makers art. -
Miss Russell had promised to APP
pear in the almost altogether and
then build herself up with the crea-
tions of the dressmaker. So men, of
COURSE were present.
In speaking of her lecture in adj
vance Miss Russell said:
Il intend to appear before the
dressmakers in my street costume,
which l will take off Then | will
dress myself a piece at a time in a
stunning gown, so that the dress
makers may readily see that much
Of the success that | have attained
on the stage is due to their handf-
work.
Clothes have much to do with the
making of an actress. Many women
| know who have made hits on the
American stage have been boosted
into popularity by the elegance of
their wardrobe.
Women who are really dowdy
can be made to appear stunning by
the dressmaker's art. Many a big
hit is due to the fact that the men
and women of the audience we're
attractd by the dazzling figures of
those who took the leading parts.
Many of the figures are not real"

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Retail Holiday Business Is Brisk but Wholesalers
Report Conditions as Quiet

New York. Dec. i6.-Bradstreet's re-
view OF the state of trade tomorrow
viii say:
Increased activity in retail trade, less
doing by wholesalers and jobbers, a
further slight slowing down in industrial
lines, reduced activities In speculative
circles, and easier money, due appar-
emily TO hessened trade and speculative
demands, are the leading features
brought out in the reports this week.
Weather and holiday influences have
been helpful TO retail distribution. and
reports as a whole point 10 a satisfac-
tory volume of buying for this season
ef the year, though there are few
markets which report final distribution
stu either below expectations or slow
to develop. Cold stormy weather, with
new low records In temperature, have
helped seasonable merchandise 10 move,
and the coal trade has been benefited.
Heavy wearing apparel. and particularly
footwear, has felt the influence OF snow
falls throughout wide area
at a few markets, a prominently
mentioned feature is the demand for
jeweIry. but demand at New York is
reported largely for the cheaper lines
In jobbing trade the tendency has been
toward quiet In manufacturing lines
the tendency is toward quiet also. Iron
and steel operations are being curtailed
end oYer-holiday shut-downs announced.
Talk Of curtailment of operations in
cotton goods is also heard and the raw
material markets tend toward quiet"

New York. Dec. 1e.-R. G. Dun & Co. s
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Retail holiday trade is brisk. but con-
.servatism prevails in wholesale transae-
tons, buyers purchasing for immediate
needs, but displaying caution about ae-
cumulating stocks for future demands.
Supplies in the hands of distributors are
therefore, generally light. and this fact,
together with the absence OF speculative
purchases affords ground for anticipating
an expansion in demand in the very near
future
There is a wide difference of opinion
as to the business outlook for 1911, and
this produces some hesitation, while the
end of the year Is usually a period of
slowing down and taking stock. Foreign
trade for November shows a decrease OF
$40, 100000 in imports and an increase OF
81. 100000 in exports, The foreign ex-
change market is now more favorable to
this country with the possibility OF gold
imports.
1T is nothing new TO say that the iron
and steel market is duh, with continued
reduction of pig iron output, but even
the railroads. tardy as they are in buy
ing rails. are obliged 10 make provision
for the coming year and much business
is being done, although the aggregate Is
below normal The dry goods jobing
trade and the shoe and leather trades
are quiet.
Commercial failures this week in the
United States are, 2S3 against 2S7 last
week, 275 the preceding week. and 80
the corresponding week last year.
