Czech! Stay In Thai

Strasburg Va, Sept IA seven.
teen-foot boa constructor, which was
among the motley collection of snakes
that is being exhibited throughout
the Shenandoah Valley this summer
by band of Indians, escaped at Fish
er's ill a few days ago during a band
reunion, and caused no end of excite
ment.
A woman WAC had been attending
the reunion, wandered away from the
crowd and started to take seat on a
large stone which was in the rear
of the famous battle field TO her
intense horror, large snake lay coil
ed around the rock. It's jaws were
extended, and a cavity appeared large
enough to swallow a good-sized calf.
By her screams, crowd was inn
mediately attracted among which
were the Indians, who seemed over
ioyed to find their lost pet. The chief
Indian took hold of the snake and be-
gangan to coax it out of its resting
place. The reptile seemed unwilling,
and before it could be persuaded to
move, the entire tribe of Indians were
pulling at it,
The snake is the mother of ten
snakes, and weighs $50 pounds. The
little "Injuns" put the heads of these
baby snakes into their mouths for fun,
and are perfectly fearless around the
big snakes.
Finally the reptile was gotten back
to it's cage and the Indians gave the
woman who discovered it 81 as a
token of their appreciation of the re
eoyery of the huge reptile.

SAY is I am not troubling myself
about it,
The senator from Indiana said he
did not believe the Bryan resolution
would have any effect on the candi-
dates now urged, as it was understood
that Mr.. Bryan put it forward on his
own responsibility,
Bryan's opponents say he made a
great mistake in offering the resolu-
ton and declare it means breaking
of the back of Governor Wilson's
candidacy. After one or two more
ballots, it was learned, an effort will
be made to break up the block of
votes cast by Pennsylvania for Will
son. There was a general report that
Underwood leaders would try to have
the Harmon forces join them to bring
about the formers nomination
The second ballot which was to
come just after the convention meets
this afternoon will show many switch
es of votes, it was said, as the under
play of politics developed
National Committeeman Roger Sui
Ivan said he was unable to say what
the ILLINOIS delegates would do after
the first ballot. They vote solidly for
Clark under the unit rule, but there
were some leaders who regard in
structions as binding only on the first
ballot.
Hope to Close Tonight.
Efforts will be made to conclude the
business of the convention tonight, as
it is feard that enough delegates be-
coming weary with their labors may
depart for their homes to leave the
convention without a quorum.
D. r. Owen, secretary of the Under
wood committee, said the III II votes
cast for their candidate exceeded by
six and q half the number they had
expected. They expect to receive sub
stant1aI gains in the second and third
ballots, but are not looking for much
change on the first ballot because of
the high feeling that prevails for the
present leaders in the race. Judge
Robert Hudspeth of New Jersey says
Governor Wilson will be the nominee
of the convention.
81 do not look for much change of
votes on the second ballot said Hud-
speth, but 1 have been assured rfter
that the drift will set in toward Will
son. We have been. assured that on
the third ballot and thereafter mary
new votes will come to Wilson. At
the Illinois headquarters inquiry was
made whether the delegation would
caucus this afternoon and what was
the situation regarding the candi-
dates.
