Omalia, Aug. Hi. —Judge Parker's speech of acceptance and the accounts of him brought back by party leaders have altered the views of Western Democrats, who have heretofore been dissatisfied with his nomination. Prominent Democrats in this State are now talking Parker us enthusias tically as they ever did Bryan. G. .1. Smythe, former. Attorney- General of Nebraska, who is close to Bryan in the direction of party affairs at present, came back from Esopus to-day after attending the notification. In a talk to Democrats he told them I hat Parker is just the man the West needs for President. "Bryan men from the West, in cluding myself, were delighted with Judge Parker's speech and the im pression he made," Mr. Smythe said. "We have had our previous concep tions of the man changed completely. His speech is masterful. His bearing has the same dignity polish and kind ly expression ofMcKinley, but he is a man of greater force than the form er President. lie said many com plimentary things of Mr. Bryan.

Washington, Aug. 11.—Miss Alice Iloosevelt now wears at times, ns an ornament, a live snake. The reptile is about two leet long, as large around as a lead pencil, and is known as a grass snake. The young woman's idea is, presumably that society will wake up the snake us a fad, hut there does not seem to he a wild desire to fol'ow the example of Ihe President's daughter who also wears a chameleon attached lo flic front of her waist by a fine chain. Miss Itoosevelt discovered the snake hanging from a gas fixture in a bird store, was delighted with it and bought it. The next time she went automobile riding she wore it colled about her neck, where it remained quito comenlcdly. Ds skin shines with a jewel like brilliance, and it was thought to be a green chain. In some instances Miss Itoosevelt reveal ed its true character, uiving sundry friends a little scare. Statement of Mew Dioceses.

I OF A COPPERHEAD SNAKE Fortunately for (Mrs. West the Reptile llad Been Killed Before Being bundled WAS SENT IN FROM DANVILLE "What kind of a snake is this?" asked Mrs. G. P. West, of Danville, in a letter which was enclosed in a box containing some toads, a turtle, a suake and other reptiles, which reach ed the State Department of Zoology this morning. The snake was a dead copjicrhead and its odor was very strong. "If she had caught it without kill ing it she would have found out what it can do," said David K. M'Millan, Professor Surface's assistant, as he laid aside the letter for answering and proceeded to pump the serpent full of formalin. The copperhead is one of the two reptiles in Pennsylvania which are poisonous. The other is the rattlesnake. It is probable that tlie serpent in question was killed by Mrs. West or some member of her family, for sev eral boxes of specimens have been re ceived from that source. The snake had evidently been hit upon the head with a club. That it was not recognised is rather remarkable owing to its striking bionxe head, while the ugly fangs of the upper jaw leave little doubt of venomous qualities.—Star Independ ent. SCHUYLER. MR. EDITOR: —Lr'St Wednesuay night the barn on the farm of ltoscoe Ellis, near I.iiuestonavillc,was burned, together with all the wheat crop, forty loads of hay, fourteen loads of oata, straw, farm ing implements, harness, one horse, two colts, two cows and four calves. The tire was discovered alwut nine o'clock. The tenant, Mr. (ilidewell loses his sum mer's work and cannot afford the loss, lie has insurance but not enough to cover his loss. The origin ol the lire is a mystery. Mr. (ilidewell says no one of the family was in the building after dark with a lantern, having (lone all tho cliors by daylight. Several theories have been advanced to account for it—incend iarism ami spantaneous combustion. Either one may solve the problem. There was an insurance of two thousand dollars 011 the burn; but the actual insurance is fourteen hundred dollars. Mr. Kalpli Irwin is on the sick list.

Smith is slowly recover ing from the effects of a paralytic stroke, received a week ago. His right side was paralized, but he is able now to use his limbs again. It occurred while assisting to thrash. Farmers are busy plowing and other wise preparing for the Fall seeding. Ground is too dry to plow well. Wo had a heavy shower on Sunday morning, about 2 o'clock, but it did not soak the ground much. This neighltorhood has been suffering from numerous tires in the past three years. In that time Enoch Orner's barn was struck by lightning and burned; the next was a barn on the farm lately be longing to Geo. W. Smith caused by an exploding lantern; the next was a barn of John Martin's,struck by lightning and destroyed with contents; the fourth was Wm. Marr's bam, struck by lightning and burned; and the barn on the farm of Roacoe Ellis, described above; also a small barn, near Kieffertown, was struck by lightui .g and burned. All these tires happened within a radius of ft)ilr miles. The liarn on the farm of G. W. Smith, was rebuilt, and was struck by lightning this Bummer but escaped burning. It was supposed that the slate roof saved it. The bolt ran down both Bides of the roof and seems to have glaiiced off after smashing about a squaro of slate. The barn on Hagerman's farm, now occupied by Bruce Smith, has a slate roof and was struck, but did not burn, which argues that a slate roof is as good protection as rods, if not bettor.

HAIR TURNED WHITE IN SECOND But Man Trapped Between Trains Es caped With His Beer. Hundreds of commuters on tlie Harlen & New Ilaven ruilroad on Saturday witnessed tlie remarkable escape from death near the Bronx park station of a man whose identity is not known. Two trains going in opposite directions trapped him be tween them, and so great was his fright that his hair turned white. Both engine drivers made their whistles shriek, and the man stepped between the tracks. In his hand was a bucketful of beer. There was bare ly room for him to stand between the two rushing trains, and the Harlem train turned him around like a top and he fell between tho trains. Both engine drivers threw 011 the brakes so quickly passengers were thrown from their seats. A conduc tor looked under the train for the mangled body, but in vain. Then the man was seen climbing up an em bankment by the tracks. His cloth ing was torn, but he was not injured, ami he still clung to the beer. When last seen lie was running toward the Bronx zoo.

The oyster has regained his lost prestige in Paris. He has been vouched for by Professor Giurd, of the faculty of Sciences, in a report sent to the Minister of Marine. Tlie professor says the oyster makes a healthy food. He doesn't believe a word of the theory that, bivalves spread typhoid fever. He says he doesn't think one authcutic case of typhoid fever caused by an oyster can be cited.

A Thought. The olil lawyers of Columbia ar> PASSING away—their OIUCOH ore being removed for newer structures -their libraries arc scattered to the auction rooms, the second hand book shops, and new works by new authors on new subjects and phases and legal procoeduro are taking their places. It was said long ago by one still at the liar, that the desire by legislation and otherwise, to make the practice of the law easy would be the destruc tion of the Law and the Bar. But we did not intend to write a jeremiad on that subject, exactly. Speaking the other day with one of the present seniors, upon the general question of the passing of the elders, and the scattering of their hard earn ed and well studied volumes, why, said 51 r. Scarlet, "I have a few vol umes of Mr. Comly's library—the rest are scattered."—"Yes, and I," said Col. Freeze, "bave thirty or forty volumes of Mr. Hurley's library." If the remnants could be gathered and put into the Columbia County Law Library, .the traditions of thoi-e old leaders of the Bar, their person alities, their abilities, their legal con tests and their memories would have a nucleus round which to rally for the young man.

In a mountain near Elko, Ncv., tliero is an inexhaustible supply of pure soap. One may enter the mine with a bntoher's knife and cut as large a piece as he wants. It is beautifully mottled and on being ex posed to the air hardens somewhat. The mountain of clay is of line tex ture and it contaius boracio acid, soda and borate of lime. Its color is given it by the iron and other minerals. In its natural state it is rather strong in alkali and re moves ink and other stains readily. At one time it was used in all of the lavatories on the Pullman cars, but as soon as this fact became generally know the cakes were carried away by travellers us souvenirs. The railway company could not supply the de mand, so it was forced to discontinue I its use. I i Bananas, Boa Constrictor, Girl. While Miss Nellie J.
