Tbs purchase by the United Stales of
Denmark's islands in the West ladies,

contuinated. King Christian is and

will to that of the people. Denmark is
in far greater need of ready cash than of
colonial possessions.

the latter might imbibe the progressive
pint.

To Ths People of Josephine County.
Dear Friends:
I hereby corne to you saying, "We read
in ths Good Book that, 'There is a time
to weep, and a tiros to laugh ; a time to
saourn, aud a lime to dance."' Now I
will add by saying, ' There is a time for
political career."
Now since I have been among you I
have bad my laugh, my dance, and my
political career. I will say further:
There is a time to say 'Yes,'' and a time
to say "No."
I remember about four years ago, the
people by petition said: "Major Abe
Aitell, we want you for our next Couniy
lodge," and I said "yes," and you,
voiced by your votes, made me such ;
and in such capacity I have served hon
estly sud faithfully to the beat of my
knowledge and Delhi. And now come
sums of my friends and again by ietiiin
placed on Die, have nominated me fur a
second term, and asked me to file my
acceptance and snake ths run, end to
which 1 believe It is ni the proper lime
to say "no."
I here say: That neither of my op
ponents in the field for the office nor any
one at thsir Instance has askud me to
lecline to run, but I, of my own accord.
as I said in a letter previously published
in ths Oregon Observer, as yon, the good
peopled Josephine Cunty, have hon
ored me so much with public official
places, I cannot and do not claim that
you, ths people, owe me anything, but
on ths other hand, I owe you, as I have
before said, my gratitude for what vou
have heretofore so geueroualy and freely

to an audience. TIitk is little plot to
the play. It is a luixesMun of scenes on
the tlie farm in hay making time, tnp
p.stdlo extend over two days. The
haymakers start out in ths morning in
the chorus "Awav to the Meadowa
away." The mowers sing as they swing
their scythes, the music being arranged to
suit perfectly the .peculiar motion of mow-
-i witli a scythe. After the u,j,ii.j

workers respond with alacrity to the
farmer's wslcoms call, "Come to Din
ner" and echo the chorus -illi the
lieiirtinesa which would be natural were
the circumstances real, After dinner,
there is more mowing and spreading.
I hen the hay is raktd up and the day's
work is ended. The iatioieis are "very
tiled and sleepy" and slum tier overtakes
them in a gent'e cho.ua of sopnrilic
quality. Then there are voices of the
night, ci iclels and katydids chirping,
and a little later, William, one of the
farmer's able assistants, indulges In
serenai'e to Mary, the farmer's daughter.
This serenade by William and its
response, in dream son;, by Mary, is
one of the gems of the cantata. After
th's, counts Snipkins, bent on txprcss
ing in serenade his tender feelings
toward Katv, the dairy-maid, but with
success that ia dubious.
On Ihe morning of the second day, the.
chorus, refreshed by slumber and bright
as crickets, greet one another in the
liiely chorus, 'Vood Morning." The
distant tield of hay stacks, aprearine
like tents in the dim, misty light of the
early morning, gives inspiration to the
male voices for a grand semi-chorus in
military measure, "llow Like some
Tented Camp." The second dav do s
not go as smoothly as the first. The air
grows intensely hot; "no breath stirs
Ihe leaves" and "the heavens areas
braes ;" every thing is weighed down by
the cloic, oppreisivs heat. Then s
cloud appears in the weBt and grows
Willi alarming rapidity. A storm is
coming and, in the "Hurry" chorus, the
hay makers put forth the moat frantic
sir .rts to get their hay under shellsr
before it ruins, and succeed with no
time to spare. Then the thunder lolls,
the wind howls and the ruin comes in a
rattling deluge, all vividly portrayed in
the music. After this the aim agaiu
tomes forth, the rainbow appears and
"all nature now rejoices." The cantata
closes with a grand chorus, "Harvest
Home."
The music throughout is bright, lively

interspersed with solos, duets and nuar

There are seven solo parts, the farmer

DEATH OF MONSTER.
End of a Strange Creature That
Spr?ad Terror In Florida.
lleaeankled a Unite lea Serpent and
W Believed hy in Indiana to
Have Lived In the Lower Ever
lades Over loo tears.
An enormous reptile, more like an ex
tinct broiitosaiirua or fabled sea ser
pent than any living- cnatiirc, was
lately killed by a huuter iu the lower
KverKlades. He mean to scjul the
skeleton to the Smithsoiiiun Institu
tion at Washington, snys a J.-i'-ksiin-ville
(Kla.) report in the L'hicntro
American.
It has for 100 years not only het-n a
tradition among the Seminole Uidi.ira,
who inhabited the border of Luke
Okeechobee, but it is stated us a ft;-
within the inovvlede of some of the
Indiana now livlr.ff that an ilium i.se
serpent made its home in the Kv
glades and has carried off at least two
Indians.
The Indians reported the animal to
be snakelike in appearance, with
ears with a deer; that it had only been
seen In the Kvrr-'InrVt, and that
when it traveled it frequently stopped
raised its head hijfh above the saw
grass to take a view of its surround
inirs to discover its enemies or locate
victims, a deer, hear, liogur vo:ne nth
er animals. If frightened, the Indians
asserted that it (,'lided oft at immense
speed.
These stories have kept the venture
some hunter and trapper on hisfruard
and in a state of mi re or less anxiety
notwithstanding they did not
credence to these Indian stories,
cently Must er Ferrel.i-ne of the b' 1
and most noted i;f the 1, u.-iti rs ef ( 1
chobee, who for -Ml veurs l-;is mai'e tin
border of the lake an! tl,- K't'r:;lad, i
his home, on one of liis pi riodirnl ex
peditinns noted what he suppo'ed ti
lie the pathway of an immense allien
tor.
For several dnys he visited the lo.
calitv wilii the hope nf killini' the
saurian, but wns unsiiei-esful it: find
l-iir him. His pride as a l:itver vi :i
piqued, and his desire to nbl.iin the
hide of what he felt .-lire to I !' one I
the largest alligator s , ver se: u in thi
section when- :illi''.'i ;nrs tin-im. ted f
the'r immense size. i;r".v d:i:!v. lie
studied seme plan to outwit it. A lare
cypress stood near its pathway, and
he concluded to cliinli the tree atil
take a stand for hi- anie. He accord
ingly took up his i.wtinii in the tree
For two days he stot.d cm watch w: ti
ll is rille ready. Nothing appeared
He waa becoming diseouraiied, but
determined to give one more (lay to the
effort.
on the trnru rlav, before he had tieen
on his perch an hour, he saw what
looked to n:m like an immense ser
pent glidinir along the supposed alii
gator track. He estimated it to be
anywhere from 25 to 35 fe.'t long and
ruity iu to r-' inches In diameter where
the head joined the In dy, and as Ian.'
around as a barrel ten feet turtle
hack. The creature stepped w;thin
easy range of h: iron and raised lik-h
its head. As it did Ferril shot at its
head. Taken by surprise tlie serpent
Hashed into the marsh tit n tremen
dous speed, while Ferrel kept up ftrin
until he had emptied the magazine of
his rille.
About four days afterward he ven
tnred back into the ncii'hhnrliond, and
iiooui a nine irom w in re tie lirst saw
the monster he saw a lan-e Hock of
buzzards, and went to oce what they
were after, and there he found the
creature dead and its body so badly
torn by the buznrds that it was im
possible to save the shin.
He, however ired the head, and
has it now In his In. me on the Kissim-
mee river. It Is truly a frightful look
ing object, fully ten incl.'s from jaw
to jaw and nt'ly. razor-like tei th. Ho
described the in imal as dark e, .lured
on its back and dingy white beneath,
with feelers around its mouth similar
to a catfish.
He has gone back into the swamp
with the intention of obtaining the
skeleton and briniz-ng it back, after
which he will tu-,id it to the Smith
sonian institution in Washington.
