Greatly as the German Americans
must regret that the situation has under
gone such a change they must insist that
the government of the United States will
maintain its dignity. We sympathize
with the German people should rupture
between the two countries increase its
misery and its sufferings, but it can only
hold its own government responsible for
it. If the German government, through
hostile acts against our industries and
through gross insults against the United
States, is seeking to find a pretext to close
Germany against the United States, and
to refuse the Germans this harbor of re-
fuge against their misery, the United
States will have no other choice but to
take up the gauntlet thus insolently
thrown down

POKER OR, THAT QUEEN.

The Judge was a Christian and played on th
square,
But he figured the cards pretty close;
He could call off your hand every time to
pair
And lay down a fun when he chose.
The Colonel could play a more difficult game
Idon't mean to say he would cheat;
But he had the top card when the big betting
came,
And some hands that couldn't be beat.
Coming home from Chicago the two chanced
to meet
They were very old friends-on the cars;
And as neither the other at poker could beat
They played euchre, five points for cigars.
The cards ran along pretty evenly too,
Till the Judge turned moment his head.
When the Colonel in shuftiing, slipped the
deck through,
And the Judge cut a cold one instead.
Twas euchre of course; but the Judge was
amazed
when he littedfour kings in lump;
But the Colonel, not seeming particle dazed
Turned up red queen for trump.
You say Go you pass, Judge?'' the Colonel
called out;
Look here" said the limb Of the law.
I've mighty queer cards. if you're in for a
Wen play this one hand out at draw
The Colonel considered and wriggIed his neck
4, too, have a very odd hand;
If yOu'll give me that queen from the top of
the deck,
Wen play out the cards as they stand"

| Grading on the Rowland's Bluff rail
road is completed to Hog Town creek,
one and a half miles from Gainesville.
1t is proposed to construct narrow
guage railroad from Chipley station on
the Pensacola and Atlantic railroad.
Local option is said to have increased
the property value of Leesburg at least
80 per cent. during the last three months.
The Tavares and Lake Monroe railroad
is an assured fact. 1t will practically
be an extension of the Florida Railroad
and Navigation Company, although it
will be under the management of an en-
tirely separate company.

little mill at Starke, known as the Miller
mill, leased and operated by Mr.. H. A.
Farmer, was burned to the ground. To-

Two church bells have been hung in
Orlando during the past two weeks one
at the Methodist church, and one in the
belfry of st. Luke's Episcopal church.
The latter is probably the largest bell in

As the railroad tank was in danger, con-

1t is giving them the same school oppOr-

that more is not done is due, not to any

Cannon, who is the real Mormon lead

IS POLK DEAD q?

He is said to be Alive in New Mexico.
On the last day of February, a sensa-
ton was created throughout the country
by the report that Marshall T. Polk, the
defaulting Treasurer of Tennessee, had
suddenly died at his home in Nashville of
something like neuralgia of the heart,
and in a day or two thereafter the alleg-
ed remains Of the unfortunate man were
shipped to his old home at Bolivar, Tenn,
and there inferred. There We're but few
who were permitted to view the remains,
but no suspicion that we have ever heard
Of lurked in the breast of any that all
true, but it seems now that Mr.. Polk is
not dead, but ere this is as free as the
birds of the air, and safely hidden in his
Mexico mines deep in the bowels of the
earth, while his alleged remains are that
Of a Nashville medical college subject
This information is cleaned from a gen
tleman by the name Of Westbrook, a for
mer resident Of Nashville, who passed
through this city this morning en- route
to the West from a trip through the
South, who saw and talked with Polk at
San Antonio, Texas, but promised the
fleeing felOn that he would not give the
matter to the press until he had passed
Memphis, Polk thought by that time ne
would be safe) and Times man was the
first member of the press he met after
having passed that point. Mr.. West
brook says ne walked up to Polk and
made himself known, and he never saw
a man so much affected in his life, and
begged and implored him to not cause
his arrest or speak of having seen him.
This, Mr.. Westbrook refused to promise,
but did agree not to speak of the matter
until after he had passed through Mem
phis, but said. II shall give the whole
thing away to the first newspaper man |
meet beyond the Bluff City, and said he,
You are the first, and now you can use
tle information in any way you deem
best, and can positively assert its correct
ness, as I know it is Polk, having known
him years ago quite well, and despite his
disguise, recognized him at once" In
reply to question from the Times man
Mr.. WestbroOk said mo, sir, Marsh
Polk is not dead, and never has been.
His friends took advantage of his cOndi-
ton (as a matter of fact he was sick and
assisted him to escape from the clutches
of the law by means of securing the re-
mains of a Nashville medical college sub
ject, the subject being substituted for
that Of Polk, and was shipped to Bolivar,
Tenn, and there buried, without the peO-
pie viewing the same either at Nashville
or Bolivar and while POlk's friends
were pretending to grieve over his sad
fate they were inwardly rejoicing over
the ruse by which they had helped to
gain his liberty. POLK" further said
our informant, was, when | saw him,
cleanly shaven, his head covered with a
