Truth Stranger than Fiction.

There is an old saying to the effect that
"there is nothing now under tho sun"
and yet from the following it would ap
pear that there is IN exception, even to
this rule.
At point six miles west of st. Aug
ustino, Florida, on the line of the st.
Johns Railway, hos n beautiful tract of
land which has recently been laid out in
q town-site called, West st. Augustine.
st Augustine proper is the oldest City
III the United States, and abounds with
lengond .oio, and historical antiquity, and
few if any Of the many thousands that
visit Florida fail to take look at the Sea
WALL Old Fort, and the many other in
terosting objects. 1t was founded Sep
tember 8tk, 1865, forty two years previ-
GUS to the settlement of jamestown, Va.
and fifty-1ivo years before the landing of
the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock. The
namo st. Augustine was given to the
place by the Spaniards, because they Ian
Ied upon the day dedicated to that rev
e ed and learned saint. ST. Augustine is
growing rapidly, being tho terminus of
two railways, and other arc being extcn-
ded toward it, and il IS now known as the
Hotel City of Florica.
The prOprietors and owners of the II
lustrated Southern World, n sixteen Da0e

rGss being made in the Ancient City, pur-
chased large tract Of land near st. Anq-

Mr.. Astor, and in the midst Of this tract

Interesting Experiences.

Hiram Cameron, Furniture Dealer of
Columbus, Ga, tells his experience, thus:
"For three years have tried every RENE
dy on the market for Stomach and Kid
ney disorders, but got TO relief, until 7
used Electric Bitters. Took five bottles
and am now cured, and think Electric Bit
ters the best Blood Purifier in the world. "
Major A. B. Reed, of West Liberty, XIV.
used Electric Bitters for an old standing
Kidney affection and says: "Nothing has
ever done me 50 much Good as Electric
Bitters. Sold at fifty cents bottle by

Mr.. EDIToR:--As q physician I
would suggest the idea of you put
ting in q local in your next issue of
the SENTINEL, appealing earnestly to
the people of this town. as well as
elsewhere, to observe strictly the san
ltary condition of their premises; to
make a thorough cleaning and linn
ing, removing all focal matter from
privies, etc. This continual wet
weather, followed by hot sun will in
my opinion, cause O. great deal of
sickness in our county, both of ma
iarial and dysenteric character, aud
1t behoovet us all to obviate all excit-
ing or add 5ional causes.
Respectfully,
G.. w. EARLE.

Henry W. Rothert, late register of the
land Office at Cheyenne, and now appraiser
Of land and city lots for the Union Paci-
6c in Wyoming, was busy this afternoon
placing a valuation on the company's lots
near the city park, which are desired for
university purposes. The work will be
completed this evening, and the commits
%sioners have no doubt that the price will
be reasonably low, and such as they can
afford to pay for such extra space as they
need. Mr.. Rothert is a gentleman of
wide experience in such matters, and a
great friend Of educational matters. He
is thoroughly posted on Wyoming, and
knows her needs as well as he knows how
to 20 in when it rains. If he can help
the university cause consistently with his
official duties, he will get there every
time.-Boomerdn0.

A young man named Charles Reding-
field was severely injured by the kick of a
horse at one of the livery stables in the
city yesterday afternoon. The young
man, in company with his brother, came
up from Pueblo, Colo. and we're on their
way to Fort Laramie, but stopped owe in
Cheyenne for the purpose of looking at
some horses which they desired to pur-
chase. Redingfeld was looking around
yesterday afternoon. and while in the act
of examining some animals which he
thought would suit him was kicked in the
face by one of them. His nose was broken
and his face badly cut and gashed, but
the injuries are not fatal. and with proper
care will not be dangerous even He was
taken to the Metropolitan hotel, where
medical aid was summoned. and last
evening he was as comfortable as could be
expected under the circumstances.
