At keuka,

Mr. j. II. Moore. editor of the Family
Companion, was in town yesterday, and
called at THE News office. He formerly
published the Family Companion in
Illinois, and the paper has thousands of
subscribers in the north and west, and
now that the paper is to be published at
Keuka it will no doubt prove an impor-
tant factor in the development of this
part of Florida
Mr. John D. Teeter, formerly of Mt.
Morris, ILL.,, is putting up substantial
business house at this point, and will soon
have first-class stock of goods in it.
Dr. Ball is also erecting a building, to
be used as business house and dwelling,
and there are other improvements talked
of and under way. The people out at
Keuka seem determined to have town
there, and they are preparing for it.

At San lIateo, Fla, Sunday evening,
April 20, of cerebral paralysis, DITUs c.
SHEPARD, in the I'D year of his age, after
an illness of four months.
Mr. Shepard was born at Panton, Ad
olson county, Vermont, January 16, 1912.
After receiving the ordinary district
school education of those days, he at
tended a short time an academy at High
gate, Vt, and in 1882 before attaining
his majority, he engaged in business in
general merchandising at Port Henry,
Essex county, n. Y. He continued there
for twenty years, when, in 1852, he re-
moved to Brooklyn, n. Y, and engaged
in business in New York city, with Mr.
Charles Bridge, under the firm name of
Bridge & Shepard, as importers and job
bers in straw and millinery goods.
In 1860, while vet in his prime, he
withdrew from that business, and was
not afterwards engaged in trade,
Mr. Shepard was twice married. In
1881 he was married to Miss Sarah w.
COnant, by whom he had three children
Sarah Jane, now the wife Of Erwin |.
Sphinx. of Brooklyn, n. Y. Lucy Ann.
who died at the age Of two years and
Lucius Edwin, who lives at ChittenangO,
n. Y.
In January, 1874, Mr.. Shepard came to
San MateO, Fla, hoping that the climate
might prove beneficial to Mrs. Shepard,
whose lungs were seriously affected she
having had a severe attack of typhoid
pneumonia in 1864, from which she had
never recovered.
Realizing that she was helped and that
/ she would be compelled to live South, he
| purchased and improved the property
| upon which he passed the remainder of
his life, subsequently deciding to make it
/ his permOnent home. Mrs. Shepard died
in 1890.
/ In October, 1891, Mr. Shepard was
again married to Mrs. C. J. Root, of Vic
/ tor, n. Y, with whom his remaining
/ days were quietly and happily passed.
/ Up to within four months Of his death,
notwithstanding his more than three score
and ten years, he enjoyed uniform and
/ excellent health, and took a deep and
active interest in the management of his
/ orange grove. as well as in the social,
educational and religious affairs of the
/ place. Warm-hearted genial and cheer
full, his was a welcome face in every
/ gathering.
/ As a business man he was absolutely
+ just and upright as a citizen he was
philosophical, liberal and patriotic, and
+ in the community he was universally es-
/ teemed as an estimable and useful man.
/ During his illness he bore his suffer
+ ings, which at times were very severe,
with great patience.
/ Mr.. Shepard never made an open pro-
/ fession as q Christian, but he was a
/ steady attendant upon divine worship,
! always reverent in his speech upon re-
/ igious subjects, and in repeated inter
views with his pastor during his last ILL.,
ness. he gave clear and emphatic utter
/ ance to his trust in Christ as the only Sa-
/ viour and his hopes of salvation through
/ him.

any possible need of currency, and
as soon as public confidence was restored
the banks resumed business. The rush of
English capital aided, because it supplied
market for every valuable security not
covered into the Clearing House. To show
that after all little money was withdrawn
from business, it is enough to state that
whereas before the panic the Associated
Banks had four millions over and above
the deposits prescribed by law, they had
three millions after the ''scare''
By such mutual support, none but the
speculative banks, dealing in securities
altogether intangible, need dread q

The MastOdOn.

Monday night. Mr.. Charles A. Ray, the
successful borer of artesian wells. struck
the second crevice of water at the bottom
of Captain Adams well, and the water is
now rushing out of the well at the rate
of three hundred gallons per minute At
a late hour Monday night the street be-
tween Captain Adams lot and the j., T.
& K. w. R. r. track was flooded, and
several good sized branches were running
from it.
There are two wells at this place, driv-
en- side by side, when the drill of the first
one went through the rock, it dropped
into the crevice sideways, swapping the
shaft in two, about two hundred feet
down, and almost stopping all flow of
water. Several efforts were made to dis
lodge the broken drill, but all proved flu
tile, when another we'll was driven along
side the first one, and, as above stated
when they had gone through the second
rock the water came up with a powerful
force through both pipes, and the lucky
owner of the wells is now practically in
dependent of droughts.
These wells are growing in popularity.

CATION question in Florida and where
ever they may be driven crops will not
be shortened by summer droughts.
/ This last achievement of Mr. Ray is
/ the best of ali, and the force with which
the water is thrown up can be appreciat-
/ ed when it is known that three hundred
/ gallons is rushed through three-inch

"What is the New York Clearing House?
How did it stop the panic?
"THE CLUB"
The best banks in New York belong to
an organization called 1.-The Associated
Banks" Whenever one of these has a
check on another, it is sent to the Clear
ing house for adjustment. Thus No.
may owe No. thousand dollars No.
2 owes No. five hundred-both checks
are sent to the Clearing House, and No
2 draws on the Clearing House for five
hundred. Instead of making a thousand
collections per day from each other, all
the checks on members of the association
are sent to the Clearing House, and the
result is credited or debited. 1t will thus
be seen that the Clearing House is the
agent of the Associated Banks and oper-
ates independently of each for the bene-
fit of all. When the Metropolitan sus-
pended, committee from the Clearing
House found it had ample securities, but
could not realize. Thereupon the ''Asso-
ciated Banks pooled their. issues"-that is
to say, a committee examined the assets
of each bank within the organization.
The committee took whatever security
was safe, from each bank, and deposited
the whole in the Clearing House. All of
these were footed up, and the Clearing
House then held itself in readiness to
give certified checks to each bank for
seventy-five per cent. of its deposit. The
banks were in danger only because they
could not realize on their securities; the
certified checks were taken for currency.
and the banks floated without being OBJ
iged to rush their securities into the
market Such a rush would have made
a crash, sven as a thousand pigs in one
day would ruin the pork market of Pa
latka
One bank president from Hartford
rushed into New York with four millions
in currency. Why? Because he thought
when the crash came, the banks must
have ready money, and he could get a
high rate OF interest per day, exactly as
one pig would sell dearly in town when
there is a scarcity of pork.
English capitalists rushed into New
York. Why? Because they thought the
banks would be obliged to realize on
their securities and these would be cheap
at a forced sale
The action of the Associated Banks re-
stored confidence, because the amount of
currency in New York could all be drawn
to the threatened points; the certified
checks of the Clearing House supplied

The News and 5. n. Adams.

EDITOR DAILY NEWS:
The article in yesterday Mornings
NEWS is false in facts as it relates to Mr..
Adams and is calculated to do him an in
justice. The new management, cOntroll-
ing some 81 800 out of the total $1,000,
ordered him to remove the plant to Jack
sonville, which he did simply obeying the
order of the Board of Directors. Besides
the above stock held by them, they had
a verbal refusal of $3.50 stock more held
here. There is no idea of egading any
liability of prepaid advertisements or
subscription, nor in the least to injure
the interests of the other stockholders.
c.. A. BOARDMAN.
We said the articles Of association re-
quired the Journal to be non-partisan,
and devoted to the interests of Putnam
county. Is there no breach of faith in
taking it to Jacksonville and devoting it's
energies to the election of Republican
candidates?
We said Adams carried off the property
of the stockholders. If this is denied we
are ready to prove it.
1t is claimed that Adams obeyed the
orders of the Board of Directors. The
| President of the Board knows nothing of
| such an order; the treasurer is utterly ig-
| nOrant; we know of at least two stock
| holders besides who received no notice of
/ any such meeting.
The new management ordered him. .
! What is the new management? The Off
GERS and Board of Directors could only
/ be replaced at the regular meeting in
/ November. They had not been removed
/ because there has been no regular meet
! ing and it is not November Surely Col.
Boardman is not so ignorant as to think
that "a, 500 in stock constitutes officers
and board any more "than $250 The
proper authority signed no such order,
and Adams knew no private stockholde1
had any right in the premises to do so.
Who is false? Not THE News.
The gentleman says we are unjust tc
Adams. This is his opinion He does
far more injustice to himself when he
attempts the defence of such a man. This
is our opinion.
