Thought to be from Effects of Eat-
ing Ice Cream.
Mr. anil Mrs. Harry Maxwell, Miss Ella Beck, Mrs. Margart Keck, and John Cross were made violently ill Tuesday afternoon, tliouglit to he from eating ice cream for din- | uer. The family purchased a half gallon of cream at noon of which they ate at dinner. No ill effects were felt until late in the afternoon. About three o'clock live out of th.* family became affected ami all grew violently sick. Mrs. Maxwell was seemingly at death's door for some time and only the most heroic treatment saved her life. Miss Ella Beck was also very bail. John < r iss and Harry Maxwell were both ill and Mrs. Beck was also attacked. Great alarm was felt and a physician’s service was in constant demand. Dr. Bence was called ami gave it as his opinion that the ice cream caused the trouble. Most of the family were sick the greater part of the afternoon and night. Mr. Cross was at Ins place of business this morning hut was very weak and stated it was the most violent illness he ever experienced. All the members of the family are recovering hut it was a narrow escape from fatal re-
sults,
Alr. Cross states that some idea of the severity of Ins illness can he gained from the fact that he lost nine pounds in weight iu the one
night.

Silver lias gone up a little since it made that record breaking “lowest” last week, but it lias not gone up far and will hardly stay up long. The Bland coin is a Hie dollar now and it may possibly become a 47c or 48o dollar some time, but the chances that it will ever again go above the 50c mark are extremely faint. On the other hand, there is a fair probability that it will ge down to tiie 40c line in the next few years. The cheapening of the proeesses of production which is constantly under way will keep the output up to high figures, and us no increase in demand is likely to take place, prices must go down.
The Improved Aerating Churn. Is the most successful invention ever shown in Greencastle. A large number of our citizens have ordered them. The Improved Aerating ehurn habeen attracting a great deal of attention from our citizens during the past week. Many have had it tested in llieirown homes and in every ease are highiy pleased with its work, a- it does exactly what is claimed for it—making more butler, better batter and In le-s tinathan any other churn. Mr. F. M. Glidewell, our will-known ex-sheriff has secured the agency for this eountv and Owen county, and he yesterday sold a half interest to Mr. W. T. Me Manis. These gentlemen will see that every butter maker has an opportunity to secure one of these machines, and iu our opinion every owner of a cow will have one, for it will undo ibtedly pay for itself in a short time. Mr. W. C. ImjU, one of the owners, was called to St. Louis by important business Monday, but W. F. Price, his partner, remained oyer until today when he went to the Bambridge fair to exhibit their wonderful churn. Both the«,e gentlemen will be in Greencastle Saturday, and any one desiring an agency should see theni It.

There is a mistaken impression prevalent that the college property is owned by the Indiana Methodist conference. This is a mistake ts it was bought with donations from the citizens of New Albany. The late W. ('. DePauw was one of its liberal patrons and when the property was damaged by fire in 187<> spent a large sum of money to place it in repair. It is controlled by a board of trustees, composed of twenty-one members, seven of whom are appointed annually by the Indiana M. E. conference- The final disposition ol' the building lias not yet been decided upon hut some action will lie taken at the next meeting of the trustees.

A recent issue of the Australian Med ieal Gazette contains a brief but instructive report of the cure of a case of hallucinatory d ■ rder. The patient, a man aged 00 ye ns, has suffered for two years from subjective visual sensa lions. Not a day passed that he did not see a large number of »|(eetral human figures, and believing himself be he mted by ghosts he had become very despondent and melancholy. On seeking medical advice it was found that he hod senile cataract. When tills was removed hy operation the ghosts tied and tiie man recovered his usual health. In this connection we may cite the ease of a tradesman in Berlin whose shop was haunted by apparitions resembling in appearance seme of his deceased customers. He was an Intelligent man, aware that he suffered from sensory hallucination, and made notes of his subjective impressions. tn due time he submitted his eyes to examination and operation, with the result of a restoration of normal vision and tiie immediate and final disappearance of his intangible visitors. The obvious teaching of the fore-
GREAT SNAKES IN ULSTER. \ Marlborough Man ChArmct! by Giant Keptlloft* The range of hills known as tiie Marlborough mountains is now visited nearly every day by men and boys who have a peculiar fascination for hunting Miakes, says the Kingston Freeman. That there are snakes there and in the vicinity of the section known throughout southern Ulster as ’’Breakneck'’ no one will dispute. Reptiles that have as many rattles as one can count upon the tirgers of one's hand are found daily, and the number in which the enemy is sometimes driven back to the under shelter make up interesting narratives. Charles Baxter of Marlborough tells a bit of his experience on a recent Sunday that sends a chill down the back the timid, and it is carelessly related by one who says that "It is only fun to hunt snakes.” Mr. Baxter started out to visit his parents on Sun-
day.
Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Baxter, Sr., reside in the town of Platteklll, just over the summit of the Marlborougti mountains, and the son, to cut a short track to his house, crossed through a woody part of the mountains. As he was walking along, his mind, cheered by the song of the mountain chipper and woodpecker, he was suddenly startled by a queer noise. Mr. Baxter had heard the dulcet tones of the average snake when stricken with a sudden fright, but this particular sound that disturbed him in his walk seemed to be like that of a child crying for assistance. Without a moment's warning a snake as large as ever seen in the neighborhood jumped from a log and commenced to climb a tree near by. The reptile whs nimble and before Mr. Baxter could get his pistol from his pocket the snake had wound its body about an overhanging limb, and at once began to swing Its head back and forth. It made a noise that chilled the blood of Mr. Baxter’s body. Each movement was accompanied by a remarkable tiattening of the neck near the reptile’s head. Just as Mr. Baxter became aroused to the danger he was in another snake of the same sort attacked him from another tree near at hand. The strange singing of the viper nearest Mr. Baxter charmed him so that he forgot to shoot for his protection, and it was not until a friend of the elder Baxter happened along that the hypnotic Influence of
the charmers was broken.
As quick as a flash a shot from the pistol that Mr. Baxter held In his hand was discharged and the extended portion of its snake was severed from its body. The reptiles were taken down and measured. The first measured a trifle over seven feet In length and the smaller one was not less than five feet long. The peculiar actions of the snakes aroused the curiosity of the men in the neighborhood and on examination of the species later on disclosed the fact that they were of the family known as the Portuguese "co- ' ra de capello,’’ a reptile of the most venomous nature. Had not Mr. Baxter had the assistance of a friend who tiappened that way at the proper moment he might have had a terrible tussle before he conquered his foe. A search the next day by a party of mountain hunters did not disclose the nesting place of the reptiles, and now people arewondering where thew came from. The mountains in this locality are full of the ordinary tdack snakes, which are killed at the rate of 30 or 40
at a time.
