He said he was riding along on a prairie and saw a prairie- dog within a few feet of him, which refused to scamper te his hole, as prairie dogs usually do when ap- proached by man; on the contrary he sat as if transfixed to the spot, though making a constant nervous, shuddering motion as if anxious to get away. My friend thought this was strange, and while considering the spectacle he presently saw a large rattlesnake coiled up under some bushes, his head uplifted, about six or seven feet from the dog, which still heeded him not, but looked steadily upon the snake. He dis- mounted, took the dog by the head and thrust him off, when the snake, which had up to that moment re- mained quiet, immediately swelled with rage and began sounding his rattles. The prairie dog for some time seemed benumbed, hardly capa- ble of motion, but grew better, and finally got into his hole. My friend then killed the rattler. Now, was this a case of charming? If not, what was it? My friend who told me this is named John Irving Mc- Clure, a farmer, well known to me, a good and truthful man. I now give it up that snakes do indeed charm, or so paralyze birds and lit- tle animals with terror, when they can catch their eye, that they become helpless and motionless, almost as good as dead. What say the « scien- tists? And to one who is familiar with the yes of rattlesnakes it does not seem unreasonable that they should have such power. If you will exam- ine the eye of one when he is cold in death you will perceive that it has an extremely malignant and terrible expression. When he is alive and excited I know of nothing in all na- ture of so dreadful appearance as the eye of the rattlesnake. It is enough to strike not only birds and little ani- mals, but men, with nightmare. I have on several occasions examined them closely with strong glasses, and feel with all force what I state, and I will tell you there are few men on the face of the earth who can look. upon an angered rattlesnake through a good glass—bringing him apparently within a foot or two of the eye—and stand it more thana moment.—From the Forest and Stream. Union was packed last night with anarchists and socialists, the audi- ence numbering 3,500, assembled to protest against the hanging of the condemned Chicago anarchists. On the platform were Herr Most, Walter Vrooman, Colonel Hinton, of the Leader, Mrs. Black, Mrs. Bandish and 200 others. “Vive Herr Most!” greeted the chief as, to the tune of “The Marseillaise,” he stepped upon the platform, with a red rose in his buttonhole and a slouch hat pulled down over his eyes. Vrooman was chosen chairman. In his opening speech he quoted the Bible to show that Moses slew aman whom he found committing wrong, whereupon Miss Jones rose up and shouted, “Three cheers for the Bible!” “If they hang those men in Chicago, then,” he added, “they can hang every man who speaks to- night.” Vrooman presented a set of reso- lutions at the close of his speech, which met with the approval of the crowd. They condemned the sen- tence of the anarchists as murder and a crime against civilization, and declared it the culmination of a con- spiracy to crush free speech. The hero of the night was Most. “Friends and anarchists,” said he, “is it unlawful to have free speech in this country? What are those men guilty of? Are they thieves or murderers? They fought against the murdering police and robbing capitalists. Seven policemen were killed and they want seven of our brothers’ lives, a life for a life. You cannot allo.s that hanging to take place. Arm yourselves, and for every drop of blood that is shed from our friends let it cost a human life. Iam not alone an anarchist, but a revolutionist. The capitalists shall be the first to suffer. No one shall escape his just dues. The twelve jurors and detective spies will not sleep very soundly at pres- ent. Let them beware—the time is approaching when we will be forced to use firearms. It must come, 80 be prepared. I warn them not to take the lives of our martyrs in Chicago. I demand that. they. be set free. Let there be a sociél revo- lution.” When the system is debilitated by disease, it should - be strengthened and renewed with Ayer’s Sarsapar ila.

Elliott’s mule was bitten by a mad dog over the nose on May 25th and the wounds immediately cauterized. The dog and many oth- ers were shot the same day.. Thé mule worked right slong and did not give sign of hydrophobia unti} September 14, when he began to run after cows in the pasture as if he would bite them. Mr. Elliott and two assistants tried to round up the horses and mules and capture the mad mule to kill him. Once he leaped upon Mr. Elliott's saddle horse and attempted to bite Mr. Elliott as he sat on his horse. Once a mule kicked him over and after- wards Mr. Elliott knocked him down to kill him, but he jumped up and ran off into the brush, where be was found dead the next morning, Sept. 15. He was found s mile away from the barn on Mr. Elliott's _ place.—Joplin Herald. Ex-Mimster Washburn Dying. Chicago, Il, Sept- 21—Hon. E. B. Washburn, formerly United States minister to France, was taken with congestion of the brain this evening, and now lies in a precarious condition. at the home of his son, Hempstead Washburn. Dr. MecAr- thur says there is no danger of im- | mediate death, though his condition + is serious. Baliard’s Snow Liasment. There 1s no pain it will not relieve Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 20.—The hurried departure of mounted offi- cers from the jail and city hall for the depot to-night at 8:30 caused a sensation up town, which was great- ly increased when a little later the Tews and Pacific coast bound train, the California and St. Louis express, pulled in, and it was learned that an- other train robbery had taken place, and soon the platform at the union deyot was a mass of people all surg- ing toward the express car, the door of vhich was found full of Winches- ter bullet holes. Engineer Baker, Fireman Wylie, Conductor Garrett and Express Messenger Moloney were centers of attraction as they toll the story of the last robbery. Engineer Baker says he had just puled out from Ben Brook station, tex miles west of Fort Worth, when a tall, smoothly shaven, poorly dresed, sandy haired man jumped intd his cab on one side and a medi um sized man with a face partly cowred by something red on the otler. Both had Winchesters. ON THE SAME TRESTLE. The tall one said: “Stop where you stopped before,” which convinc- ed Baker that the man was the lead- er of the gang which had robbed the train June 3. Baker said to this man, “How much did you fellows get in yow las; haul,” and the thief answered, “We are not the same gang.” ‘How did you know me then and how did you know where to stop?” “O, we found that out.” The locomotive and tender with the mail and express cars were now over the trestle and the smoking car standing over Mary’s creek separat- ed the two day coaches and the sleeping car from them. No one could get out of the smoker or cross the creek from the coaches to the rear. Here Baker was ordered to stop, and he and the fireman hustled out of the cab. “We don’t want to hurt you folks at all. Only obey orders and you are safe,” was the tall man’s instruc- tions. Passing to the express car the same fellow said, “Messenger, open your door or we'll open it for you.” “There being no response a coal pick from the locomotive was brought and blow after blow rang out as the heaviest robber began to break it in. He stopped and the chief gave orders to fire through the door when three of the men pulled their Winchesters until ten or twelve shots went in, several of them com- ing very near Moloney, who, cool and self-possessed, was hiding money packages as fast as he could.

Denver, Col., Sept. 21.—The ses- sion of the sovereign grand lodge to-day continued its discussion of the appeal cases, heard reports of committees and listened to the read- ing of a proposed amendment to the constitution and several invitations regarding the place of holding the next annual meeting. The continental competitive drill began at River Front Park in the afternoon in the presence of 6,000 spectators. Excelsior canton No. 1 of Chicago was the first to take the grounds, and for an hour entertain- ed the people, acquitting themselves with great credit. They were fol- lowed by Arapahoe canton No. 8, of Clay Center, Kan., and Cheyenne No. 3 of Cheyenne, Wyo. The first prize is $1,000; second, $800; third, $600. Citizens and visiting Odd Fellows to-night were entertained at River Front park by a military con- cert and fancy drill, with pyrotech- nie display by the flambeau club of Topeka, Kan. A Texas woman hasa pet alligator. He knows his name and wags his tail whenever he is called. EXPRESS AND MAIL CARS ROBBED. The coal pick began its work again and atlast the door was thrown open. One of the robbers with a handkerchief tied around the lower part of his face jumped in and throwing down his gun said: “You give us a of a sight of trouble. Open that safe quick.” The safe was opened, and what Moloney had thought best to leave was taken. The robber jumped out and while one of those outside covered the messenger the others went to the mail coach and soon compelled Griffin and Stewart, the postal clerks, to give up the registered packages. Then ordering Baker and Wylie back into the cab themen told Baker to pull out, and hastily departed. Their boodle was shoved into an old gunny sack and thrown over the shoulder of theleader. The coaches were not entered. A deputy sheriff from Hood county was on the train, and one other man was armed, but it was too dark to do any shooting. All the registered packages for Fort Worth are gone and it is said that forty odd packages were stolen. The loss is said to be $23,000,by some, while others place it at from $1,200 to $30,000 Colonel Ingersoll is writing 2 new play—his¢first one.
