A Keiuark.tble Story That Happened in Oklahoma. Cou. oilman C. D. Sawyer, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is authority for the fol- j j lowing story about a snake: I Mr. Sawyer, with his wife and little girl, about two years of age, moved to ; Oklahoma from SteJia, Neb., when the ! | regular influx took place. Some months i ; before leaving their home Mrs. Sawyer I was almost frightened to death one morn ; ing to find coiled up in her baby’s cot a ; huge black snake. She wsa afraid to kill ! the snake and too bady frightened to pick up the baby, who by this time was ! awake and, in a sweet, innocent way was j ; patting the uglyrtp:ile on the head and j i crowing with babyish delight at her pretty j i plaything. Mrs. Sawyer was surprised to | i notice that the snake instead of resenting : i the advances of the child, seemed rather to enjoy them, and as the baby continued the rtptiie made some soft, purring noise, ; not unlike a cat. She, however, watched I both and backed to the door, when she : screamed out for her husband, who at | once heard her and rushed into the room. ■ He saw t e situation and at once pro- > ce-eded to snatch the child away from the snake, which at once crawled out of ' the cot. Mr. Sawyer was anxious j to see what the thlDg would do and hesi tated a few moments to kill the intruder, which meanwhile had crawled back into | the cor, manifesting no signs of tear and | apparently looking tor the baby, t Time went on. The snake was not killed ; but, like many other of its kind, became a pet with the family, and when the move to Oklahoma was made the snake accom panied the crowd in a box made especially for its benefit. The curious part of the sto>y follows: A few days ago Mrs. Sawyer was sitting in front of the house sewing, when she was disturbed by something tugging at the bottom of her dress. She lookea down and there was the snake with the hem of her garment in his mouth, re treating toward the rear of the tent. Mrs. Sawyer tried to shake it off, but was una ble to do so, and, becoming alarmed, and thinking the reptile meant harm, she rushed to the rear of the lot, where she supposed her husband to be. He, how ever, was not there, but on hearing a cry she rushed to a pit about twelve feet deep, dug as a repository for sewage. She looked down and saw her little girl there, having fallen in while at play. The little girl was taken out unharmed, and now the snake is a greater pet than ever in the family, as both Mr. and Mrs. Sawyer firmly believe that the sagacious "pule bad instinct enough to tell them m i. the little one was in danger and had taken the means described to notify the i child’s parents of the accident that had happened to their little one.—Witchita Journal. liuisfs New Crop Turnip Seed. PATTERSON & THOMAS, A GORILLA’S BRIDE. The Strange Adventures of a Captive Afri can Woman. WHOLESALE DRUGGISTS. Midland Notes. Midland, Ga., August 19.—The cotton crop, especially on gray land, was evi dently cut off some by the recent exten sive rains. Caterpillars have made their appearance, and on some of the farms are getting in their work at a lively rate. Mr. M. M. Bowden, at Flat flock, has forty acres from which he expected twenty bales, but the caterpillars are playing such havoc, that he is now of the opinion that four bales, instead of twenty, wiil be the turn out. The crop of fodder is about harvested and cotton is opening rapidiy. Mr. D. M. Willis, one of the most successful planters in this section, states to the writer that he began picking this morning and will have his first bale ready for the in by night. Rev. H. C. Bruton is conducting a pro tracted meeting at Clows church, a few miles north of this place. Mr. Bruton is a very enthusiastic worker, and is stirring up much good among the people. Captain Patillo, with about twenty con victs, is getting the public road in good shape between this place and Columbus. Mrs. Huff, accompanied by her two little daughters, of Waco, Tex., made a short visit to friends id our town last Saturday. Miss Mattie Leonard, of Columbus, after a two weeks’ visit to Miss EJdie Willis, at this place, returned home yesterday. Mr. F. J. Jenkins ana lady, and Master Crawford Jenkins, of Columbus, came out yesterday to spend a day in the country. Mr. Wra. S. Gr< en, of your city, who was : he guest of relatives in cur town Saturday and Sunday, went ill on the early train to day. Flat Kock Items. Flat Roc k, Ga., August 19.—Our farmers in this section have been inibigh sprits up to the present with the prospect of a large cotton crop, but to-day some of them appear very low spirited a r the reappear ance of the caterpillar in large quantities, which will cur off all late cotton, at least 40 per cent. Our corn crop is the best we have bad for stveral years. Flat Rock poems to be on a boom. The Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad is building a freight depot at this place, and the Muscogee oil mills is hauiing lumber for a large house for the storage of ootton seed and cotton seed meal. The Flat Rock nine played quite an in teresting game against the Cacaula base bail club at this place last Saturday, in which the Flat Rock club won. Meeting at Seale. Seale, Ala., August 19.—[Special.] — The citizens of the town met at the court house here, this afternoon, at four o’clock, for the purpose of taking steps towards incorporating the town. After much discussion, pro and con, a resolu tion was offered by B. deG. Waddell, Esq., and adopted, to have an election, to be held on the second of September, for the purpose of ascertaining the desire of the citizens of the town as to incorporation— those favoring it to vote for incorpora tion, those opposed, to vote against in corporation. The meeting then adjourned. “The natives of Africa are cowards in j war,” said Carl .btocklfeman, the explorer, j who started recently for New York, pre- i paratory to going to the Congo region. ! “They prefer to take prisoners, and com paratively few of their enemies are killed outright. They are afraid to strike, for fear they will receive a more damaging blow in return. They make slaves of their prisoners and the captives have a sorry time. “Of ail enemies they dread the gorilla moot. And he is a foe no man dare de spise. He wiil fight at sight. Numbers do not deter him. He is so human and so desperate iu his defense and attack that the Africans have long learned that- to fight with the gorilla is to fight to the death. This dreadful animal keeps to the woods as it is necessary for him to grasp hoid of the boughs as he walks on his hind legs. A man is therefore compara tively safe if fie is on the prairie. “There are some extraordinary things told of the gorilla. I will relate one oi them. I had aiw3ys heard it said that a male gorilla would not harm a woman.Thi3 j is the common belief in some tribes. One j day we came to a village in which one hut | had been built apart from the rest. We j inquired for the reason of this aud fouud ! that it had been dedicated to a witch. This w itch was greatly revered. She had been the wife of a gorilla. The woman had lived in the village in a house which stood on the edge of the forest. A great tree overhung her shanty. Iu the village ail the trees had been cut down as a pre caution against the gorillas. One night ore of these animals came out of the for est, got up ini o the oig tree which over hung the woman’s bouse, climocd down on the roof, threw the roof off, swung into the hut, seized the woman, climbed up through the hole in the roof, up into the tree and went away into the woods, carrying the woman with him. His great strength made this an easy thing for him to do. He could hold her in one arm and with his two hind legs and his uae free forearm make his way up arid down trees or through the woods. The wo man was gone for many days. The people saw that her house roof had been torn off. They looked carefully around the house and saw that there were no tracks what ever. Then they knew that the dread enemy had earned her off. One day she came back. Sue told a woDderful story. The gorilla had carried her for miles into the woods and finally had climbed a great tree and deposited her in his home. There he treated her very kindly, brought her food and drink, but would not permit her o leave. After watching her carefully for many days he finally left her, proba bly intending to return in a short time, convinced that she would remain. The woman came down to the ground and after wandering in the forest for several days made her way back to the village. The people at first were about to kill her, but they finally concluded that she was possessed of extraordinary powers. They therefore bulit her a house for herself, supplied her with every comfort ar.d looked up to her as a sacred person.”—In dianapolis News. AN LEI WITH WINGS. A Fish That Wanted to be Caught Very Bad. SARAH HARVEY’S GOOD LUCK. Her Eccentric Grandaunt Leaves Her $3,000,000 ou Certain Easy Conditions. Newport, R. I., August 17.—News has been received here that Mrs. Sarah Har vey Wilbour, of Orange, N. J., instead of leaving all her property to the Catholic enureb devised it to Sarah Harvey, of this place, who is a grandniece and wliom sue has never seen. The will provides that the child must at tend a Roman Catholic church service at least once a mouth aud must annually give $1000 t-oward the support of a con vert. She must also, at her marriage, pre fix her maiden name to that of her hus band. Membership in any Protestant church is forbidden her. If at the age of twenty-two Miss Harvey shall have com plied with all these conditions, and shall be willing to continue compliance she is to come into full possession of all the prop erty, except $50,000, which is given in trust for any possible daughter. In case Sarah Harvey shall refuse to edu cate her daughter (,if she has one) in a con vent. the $50,000 is to go to furnish a library for St. Paul’s University at Orange, N. J. The recipient of this unexpected fortune is now nineteen years old. By the time she is twenty-two the estate will be worth about $3,000,000. Married at Seale. Seale, Ala., August 19.—An interesting social event transpired at the residence of Judge Simeon O’Neal yesterday morning, at 10:30 o’clock, the happy occasion being the marriage of Mrs. Josephine Ham mond and Mr. R. K. Chadwick. The bride is the dauguter of Judge O’Neal, and >■ a most attractive lady of many amiable qualities. The bridegroom is one of Seale’s most prominent and successful merchants. Many friends of both parties extend congratulations and wish them all happiness. No cards. Only friends wit nessed the ceremony. Our Old Friend Tascotf. Chicago, August 19.—A special from Hersey, Mich., says: G. G. Schlege, of this town, who claims' to have discovered that Tascott is serving a term for horse stealing u the Michigan state prison, is indignant a: some of the statements in the news papers in connection with the affair. He maintains with considerable vehe mence that when he went to Chi- to consult with the friends of "nr * ' t j le . murdered millionaire, he dis- „■ indisputable evidence that there i, in Chicago which is interested in matter quiet and that he will t “ ls evidence within a short time, ’■h-t i™ decla rea that he has new proof has ® in Jackson is Tascott.

While some of the facts connected with the event may j appear incredulous, yet the high charac ter aud standing of the parties witnessing the abnormal occurrence entitles the nar rative to consideration. Three men, whose names shall not be mentioned,were fishing last Friday nignt in the placid waters of Big Sodus bay. They pursued their sport in a skill of otdinary size, aided by a friendly light, reflected from the boat. At a late hour in the night the occupants of the boat were startled by a peculiar sound proceeding from the heavens. It resembled the flapping of wings. Imagine their surprise when the trio of men suddenly beheld a fish lying at the bottom of the boat. It apparently approached from the cloud region and at an angle of 45 degrees. After recovering from their surprise the men proceeded to a critical examination of their nocturnal visitor. It was found to be an eel and weighed 5$ pounds. In place of the ordi uary eel fin was a short, stout member, part fin and part wing, about five inches iong and four wide. The tail of this mon ster, which evidently served as a rudder to guiae it in its aerial fight, was also sup plied with semi-formed quids. Local scientists who have examined this curious creature are inclined to believe that it is in a transitory stage from the fish to the bird creation. The evidence is further emphasized by the fact that when supplied with different kinds of food the creature ate nearly a quart of corn, using its head much in the manner as a goose does when eating corn. There are also well-defined legs and toes forming upon the belly ot the aadefinable creature.— Lyons Republican. A Woman Who Lived 105 Years. Deckbbtown, N. J., Augusut 16.—Mrs. Rebecca Sidner died Tuesday after attain ing the remarkable age of 105 years, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. A. Sutton. She was born in Wiretown, just across the Warren couty line, and most of her life was spent on a farm. Mrs. Sidney married when she was eighteen years old and was the mother of thirteen children, five of whom are still living. She preserved all her faculties up to the day of her death in an extraordi nary degree, aud could graphically de scribe stirring scenes in the war of 1812, in which h*r son Williom was killed. She was only sick once in her life. More than forty years ago, when her husband died, she began to smoke, aud she regularly kept it up until her death, being especially fond of clay pipes. She attributed her long life to her regular habits and her out-of-door life. Her an cestry were long-lived, her grandfatuer living to the age of over one hundred and one years. Mrs. Siduer’s death was caused j by internal injuries she sustained from a ! fall when attempting to seat herself in a : ! chair. GEORGIA AND ALABAMA. News of the Two Mates Told in Para- ( graphs.

It is though by many fruitmen that the over-bearing peach trees in Greene county : will finally die without ever bearing an other crop that amounts to anything. They think they will never recover from their immense crop this year. The call of the veterans of Greene county to meet at Eaon on Friday, August 23, for the purpose of organizing a veteran's as sociation, has met with unaaimous ap proval and tnere will be a great gathering of the old soldiers at Eaon on that day. A negro woman, whose name is Frazier, and who lives near C. awfordsviiie, on C. Bergstrom’s plan ation, gave birth laBt week to triplets, two of which had teeth at the time of their birth. Two of the litter have died, and the third still lives. A negro baby apperently six weeks old was. found dead on the railroad near Capt. : P. M Stevens’ place near Lexington, last Saturday. It had evidently not been dead more than ton or iv. i.ive nour-.-. Of course no one knew how came it there, nor whose child it was. Miss Eunice Wicker, of Montezuma, is visiting her uncle, H. C.

At Decatur, a day or two ago, in the case of W. C. Brown versus the Georgia railroad, the jury found for the plaintiff $12,000. Brown was an engineer on the Georgia railroad, and in 1886 was hurt while switching some cars off a side track near Scott’s guano works, on the Georgia railroad. At one time a citizen of Walton was in Atlanta. Needing a “biled” shirt, he went to a store and paid $1 for the same. It was warm weather.

IOWA’S WONDERFUL LAKE. Nobody Knows Who Built the Massive Walls That Enclose It. The greatest wonder in the state of Iowa, and perhaps in any state, is what is called the “Walled Like,” in Wright county, twelve miles north of the Dubuque and Pacific railway, and 150 miles west or Du buque City. This lake is from two to three feet higher than the earth’s -surface. In some places the wall is ten feet high, fif teen feet wide at the bottom and five feet wide on top. The stones used in its construction vary in weight from three tons down to a hundred pounds. There is an abundance of stone in Wright county, but surrounding the lake to the extent ot five or ton miles, there are none. No one can form an idea as to the means employed to bring them to the spot, or who constructed it. Around the entire lake is a belt of woodland one-half mile in width, com posed of oak. With this exception the country is a rolling prairie. The trees must have been planted there at the time of tne building of the wall. Id the spring of the year 1356 there was a great storm, and the ice on the lake broke the wall ia several places, and the farmers in the vicinity were compelled to repair the damages to | preventinnundation. The lake occupies a grand surface of 2S00 acres; depth of wa er as great as 25 feet. The water is ciear and cool, soil sandy and loamy. It is singular that no ODe has been able to ascertain I where the water comes from or where it goes, yet it is always clear and fresh.— Burlington Hawkeye. No Checks Cashed or Alouc-y Loaned. “You have probably observed in your travels,” said the hotel clerk, “the sign hung out at the cashier’s desk in all the leading hotels: ‘No money loaned or checks cashed here.’ Those signs are hung out to protect the hotel from dead beats, and they serve the purpose to a certain extent. We make a mistake now and then, as was the case a couple of weeks ago. An old codger came along with an old fashioned satchel, and he looked so hard and rusty that I gave him the poorest room in the house and asked him for a deposit of $5. He made it, and I gave him no further attention. At the end of a week he came up to settle his bill, and when 1 gave him the figures be pulled out a check book and filled up a check for the amount. “ ‘Can’t take it,’ I said as I shoved it buk. “•Why?’ “ ‘Got beat too often.’ “ ‘But it’s good.’ “ ‘Maybe.’ “ ‘Well, I have no currency and must pay you by check; few people refuse them.’ “ ’Look here, old fellow,’ I replied, my man coming up, ‘if you think to beat this house you will get left! Either come down with the bill or you will go to jail!’ “He tore up the check, filled in another for $200,003 on a Chicago National bank, and'handed it over with the remark: “‘Please step over to the bank and ask them to assure themselves that this would be honored in Chicago.’ “I went over to a national bank, and in side of an hour Chicago had answered that a check signed by the oid man for half a million dollars was as good as gold. I had made a mistake in sizing my man up.” “But who was he?” “He is familiarly known as‘Oid Hatch,’ king of the wheat ring,”—New York Sun. CHIEF ARTHCB’S CHANCES. Talk of strong Opposition In the Coining Convention of the Brotherhood. Cleveland, Ohio, August 17.—Cnief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomc- j live Engineers, seldom talks of the affaire j of the order which ne represents. His temper is always unruffled, but ue gener- ■ ally ke. : p« what he knows to himself. \ Members of the executive committee j have recently been interviewed on the i coming October convention of the broth- I erhood to be held at Denver, and all sorts j of things hare been said against the chief, i William Hill said :“Tne discussion of i the old Burlington strike may provoke un pleasant memories, for the reason that , many brotners cannot rid themselves of the idea tnat Grand Chief Arthur was not i as loyal ir* that fight as he might have been to the brotherhood.” He also said that much opposition to j Chief Arthur’s re election has been de- i veloped, and he give the names of sev- j eral men who are orominent candidates. I Chief Arthur was asked to-day to reply to I Hali’s insinuations, but merely said: “The man Halt, or any other delegate, has a perfect right to his opinion, and as far as I am concerned, it isn’t worth pay ing attention to. Any member has a rignt to aspire to any office within the gift of the brotherhood, and it would be selfish and mean on my part to say that he hasn’t. A man elected as delegate to the coming convention can say what he likes, I presame.” Bond Offerings.

Ev.ry third person you meet is troubled mo-e or less wit i bili -usness, aud don’t know how ! to get rid of it. Tae causes are easily recorded.
