A Critic writer describes the Mos Ancient Order of Snakes festival, detailing two dance groups, a snake-toting chorus, and vivid stage actions. The piece notes the ritual’s secrecy, the snakes and their handling, crowd reactions, and the performers apparent drug or medicated state. It also includes broader health cautions on tobacco use and a separate note on British horse breeding and Colorado forestry policy.

Ambiguous notices and a discovered skeleton near Leadville
A Cheapside shop warns against unscrupulous dealers while a docks area eating house touts unspecified “Sailors’ vitals cooked here.” Other ads hint at eight room cottages to let and cheap shoes that won’t last. A circular promotes a Summer resort with cozy forked-tree seats. A wire worker invites visitors to view invisible fences. A hunting party finds an unidentifiable human skeleton near the Twin Lakes toll-gate, nine miles from Leadville.
