BRYAN MEN'S VIEWS
OF PARKER CHANGED
One Who Mot lli m at Esopus Testifies
That He Is "Just the Wan the
West Needs."
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.
Mad Westerners known the capa
bilities of Judge Parker there would
have been no opposition to him, to
my way of thinking."

MISS ROOSEVELT OFTEN
WEARS A LIVE SNAKE
Sometimes Uses It as o Chain Around
Her Neck—Society Not Taking
Up the Fad.
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.

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

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.

The oats harvest is about all secured in
the barn now. From indications the
yield is going to be very good and the
quality A No 1.
Mr. E. O. Cotner moved from hiß
farm, near Schuyler, to another a short
distance from Dewart, One of liiH sons
will take charge of the vacated farm and

Mr. Daniel G. 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.

years.
Pennsylvania ondeavo' ed to make
the four years' course tin standard of

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. His hair had turned
from black to white.

OYSTER IS HEALTH.
French Professor Doesn't Believe Bi
valves Spread Typhoid.
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.
He says first of all that none of the
maladies of the oyster are catching
for man, such as the affection which
he calls "fost," a disease which pro
duces emaciation, nor is the "ginger
bread" complaint which imparts to
the oyster a spongy flavor.

Saved Trainer's Life.
The other day Jumbo 2nd, the larg
est elephant in the world, performed
something that was not 011 the pro
gram at Ashland, in saving the life |
of his keeper, Gcorgo Manelia. While |
the train was being placed on the sev
eral side trucks one switch engine
canio down 011 the tiack where George
Manelia was standing, which on ac
count of tho noise he did not hear.
The elephant saw t'ue danger and im
mediately reached out his trunk,
caught his keeper aud pulled him off
tho track to a place of safety, thus
showing that in ease of danger tho
elephant instinct is to bo relied upon.

CIRCUS EXCURSIONS.
Unusual Opportunity for Our
Citizens to see Forepaugh
and Sells' Great Show.
From present indications 111 is city
and community will be practically
depopulated on Monday, Aug. '29,the
date when the great Adam Forepaugh
and Sell Brothers' Enormous Shows
uuited will exhibit at Shamokiu.
Scores of local ]>eople have expressed
their intention of grasping this unusu
al opportunity to see the greatest of
all American Circuses, and they will
see many acts never before presented.
Just a partial list includes Porthos,
who on his bicycle leaps a chasm 5(1
feet wide; Diavolo, who loops tin
loop on a bicycle; Cyclone, ascending
I>erpendicularly the "])ovil's Chim
ney;" the Lecussons, the famous
French family of wonderful eques
trians; the Hungarian Magyars in
singular emotional dance and widely
strenuous acrobatic perfo mances; the
renowned Aurora Zouavn, most mar
velous drilled soldiers ii the world.
Then there are over a ialf hundred
celebrated clowns, tbret great herds
of trained elephants, he greatest
number of polar bears tver seen in
one collection, fourteei full-grown
Artie beauties. All lines of travel
will offer specially low i tes, and the
day will prove the bigget holiday of
the year. The agent o these lines
of travel will furnish all lecessary in
formation as to time of trains and
'rates of fare. There is one thing cer
tain, and that is that tin sc excursion
arrangements will enable people who
live here to sec identically the sam>
show as seen by those who live in tin
metropolitan cities.
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. Something to look*
up to, something to intimate and
something to honor.—Blootusburg

Where Soap Grows Wild.
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. Steward, a
clerk ill a Hazleton store was hand
ling a bunch of bananas, she was
greatly startled by a snake darting
out of tho fruit at her. Her screams
brought aid and tho snake was cap
tured and placed in a jar. It proved
to he a very young boa constrictor.
