Those Snake Stories.
The Snake Reporter Is Giving
This Section a Wide
Reputation.
BETTER CHANGE DRINKS.
The remarkable reptile stories
1 hat have been sent out from this
ection re:ently are attracting some
.attention in the large cities, and it
snot to be wondered at. The
v.ories, if true, are certainly wonder-
ol, and people generally naturally
need some confirmation of the news
paper reports.
.' The New York Tribune some
what incredulous, Has the following
" say:
"The Tike county bear and his
ats have long been known to the
vers of natural history. So iin
ortant and remarkable have been
ae ursine antics in Northern Penn
ylvania that some cf our enterpris
og contemporaries have made a
oint cf keeping special correspond
..ats oi ingenuity and endurance at
lilford, Lackawaxen, Ilawley,
L'aupac, Shohola, Conoshaugh and
. ther points convenient lor record
vjg the comedies and tragedies of
hat arcadian region. But the bear
1 not the ouly natural wonder of
.ennsylvania. The serpent in his
(isdom has awakened to the virtues
f advertising, and with more than
istrionic ingenuity has set his
ress agents to work. We have
"ot vet heard that any beauteous
attlei has lost her caudal buttons,
.ie same being of great number and
rity, but unquestionably the star
uakes of Pennsylvania are in other
ays immensely successful in keep-
,ig under the limelignt. in one
tfew York paper cf last evening we
.nd the following items on snakes,
ad if we are to judge of local con
ations on the supposition that only
few and the more important hap-
enings in snakedom, as in other
elds of news, are transmitted to
ie metropolis, we must conclude
rat the mountain dew of Pennsyl
. ania this year is in unusual demand
-id of unusual potency.
First, we learn by adispatch from
loomsburg that Miss 1 lllie Rough
i Berwick, went to sleep in a ham
. i. ock and awoke to be what they
ill "rough housed in the Bowery
.he found a copperhead neatly coil
1 in her lap. Now, a copper head
one of the most dangerous of ser
-tuts, and how she should get free
: om that snake without being bit
n was a problem. Her screams
rought two young women to her
..scue without waking the snake.
"Vith rare presence of mind , they
lvised her not to try to shake the
:ptile off, but to hold it in her lap
hile they killed it. Accordingly
ley procured clubs, Mid, using htr
ir an anvil, beat the snake to death
"his was rather rough 011 Miss
lough and she was considerably
raised by the blows, but the snake
indly consented to lie still and be
lashed in her lap without striking
t her. It was evidently a friendly
.iake, which we think deserved
iore kindly treatment. Perhaps
j imaginary mongoose could have
undled it properly.
From Pottsville comes a tale of
jc narrow escape of Mary Miller,
jed six vears, from the bite ot
.ackniake. It struck its fangs in-
uher dress several times, and just
issed sinking thern into her body
nd filling her veins with deadly
:nom when her companions beat
..off. Elsewhere the blacksnake
irries no poison, but this Peunsyl
ania blacksnake was not to be out
i!one in terrors by the copperhead
r cottonmouth. The most brillian
t' snake stories, however, comes
; om Altoona, where Major Alport
a name which suggests gout
itber than visions of squirming
lenageries while walking with
aptain Malin came across a large
Jacksnake which does not seem to
ave adopted the Pottsville fashion
f wearing poison glands. The
iubsequent events were too ihrill
.ng to be condensed. The Altooua
.nake reporter says:
The major grabbed a club to kill
t, and the reptile made off, with
ne major in pursuit. He was
iressing it hard, when suddenly it
brew its tail around a sapling and
wining itstlf around the major
irmly bound him. Unable to re
ease himself the major yelled for
Japtain Malin, who killed the
.nake, which measured 10 feet "Y
iuches, being the largest ever seen
n Cambria county.
Three snake stories, all from
t'ennsylvania and all in one day!
The Pike county bear should look
o ins laurels. Uovernor t'euny
packer should consider his anti-car-
oon law lest it be driving the Key
stone editors to drink."
Impaired Digestion
May not be all that Is meant by dytptinla
r.ow, but It will be If neglected.
Tlie uneasiness after eating, fits of nerv
ous headache, sourness ot the stomach, and
disagreeable belching may not be very bad
now, but they will bo If the stomach Is
suffered to grow weaker.
Dyspepsia Is such a miserable disease
that tbe tendency to It should be given
early attention. This Is completely over
come by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
which strengthens thewhole digestive system
TRUSTEE'S SALE
OF
VALUABLE TOWN LOTS.
THE STATE AT A GLANOE-
Detective Thomas D. Heffer-
nan of Wilkes Barre on Friday be
gan suit for $ 10,000 damages against
ex-County Recorder Joseph Mc-
Ginty and William Mofht, charging
them with permanently injuring
him in a fight at the polls last Nov
ember.
Elwell Stockdale, superintend
ent of the consumptive sanitarium
at White Haven, was kicked by a
horse, which he had recently pur
chased, and badly injured. It is
feared he cannot recover. He was
removed to the University Hospi
tal, Philadelphia.
-Michael Gallagher, a 14-year-
old Fon of ex-Assemblyman Daniel
F. Gallagher of Mt. Carmel, father
of the mine law, fell from a pole
swing and was so badly injured
that it is feared that he will die.
He has been in a semi-conscious
state since the accident.
-William Coyle, who was on
Friday appointed by the Banks
township Luzerne County, school
board, is said to be the youngest
school teacher in the State. He is
only 16 years old, but passed the
recent examinations with high re
cords.
Although they occupied cots
very close together in the Miners'
Hospital, Joseph Sieck does not
know that his son Daniel is dead
from burns received in an explosion
of gas at Mahanoy City colliery.
The son died on Monday, and the
father is in a serious condition.
The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has started at Mount
Carbon, near Pottsville, the largest
electric and compressed air power
plant in this part of the State. It
will furnish the power lor all the
company's local car shops and kind
red industries.
-Seventy-year-old F. T. Schwab,
of Wilkes Barre, who is blind, on
Monday began action against his
control of $100,000 worth of pro
perty, which he claims they re
cently, without his knowledge, in
duced him to sign away.
He asked the court to have the
papers set aside. They are now on
file in the court house, he says, and
he has just learned of their exist
ence.
Recent court decisions have
established beyond question the
fact that the Pennsylvania laws
against the adulteration of food and
drink are in need of further tight
ening. In fact, there is virtually
no law against the sale of "doctor
ed" intoxicants. This condition of
affairs certainly should not be per
mitted to extend beyond another
session of the Legislature.
The announcement is made
that the Pennsylvania railroad has
asked car manufactures for the best
terms on 18,000 steel cars, most of
which are to be delivered in 1906.
The news has caused a flurry in
steel car circles also the iron and
steel lines, as this immense order
will require no less than 200,000
tons cf steel.
John M. Boyer, of Fremont,
Snyder county, has 30,000 peach
trees bearing, aud in anticipation of
enormous shipments t'ais season
special railroad conveniences are
beinz arranered at Kramer Station
for his sole accommodation. Mr.
Boyer has the distinction of being
the largest peach grower in this
State.

Found Dead in Bed.
Mrs. Sabina Brobst was found
dead in bed in her room at the Sus
quehanna House, Catawissa, Sun
day morning. She was seventy
one years of age. Death, which
judgiug from the appearance of the
bedclothes, they being scarcely dis
turbed, probably overcame her soon
after retiring, was due to heart fail
ure. Although having been in an
unwell condition for some time,
Mrs. Brebst was not considered
dangerous at all, and only on Satur-1
day evening she had entertained
callers until about nine o'clock. At
the usual hour for calling Mrs. !
Brobst Sunday morning, one of the '
girls at the hotel went to the room
and rapped on the door several times
without getting any response. Feel- j
ing alarmed she called for the pro- j
prietor Mr. Shuck. The door was
forced open and Mrs. Brobst was
found lying in bed dead.
The funeral took place from the
Susquehanna House yesterday.
