lie Had Second Stroke Of Paralysis
Last Night Which Resulted In
Death.
On Monday night, of this week,
Isaac Morris, of this city, was taken
suddenly sick and had severe stroke
Of paralysis which deprived him of
speech. He rallied Tuesday and was
able to talk again. His physician ad-
vised him to keep perfectly quiet as
4 second stroke was almost sure to
prove fatal. Last evening Mr.. Morris
got up and went to the door Of his
house, exposing himself to the cold
night air. He returned to his bed, lay
down and was stricken with q second
stroke of paralysis, which resulted in
immediate death.
Mr.. Morris was formerly from Colo
RADIO where he had mother and
brother. He had been on Wood
River about year and half His
relatives were notified by wire, this
morning, of his death and asked what
disposition shall be made of the re-
mains.
Mr.. Morris was bu sler in the FRS

During these hard times, when
nearly every farm product is So
low in price that it hardly seems worth
raising, we see many Of our most in
telligent and progressive farmers, who
have not hitherto been interested in
horse breeding, buying finely bred,
higk-priced Pcrcheron stations. This,
to many, is a, source of astonishment,
but it is the result of observation that
large, well-formed, active horses al

J. A. Rnperts Drugstore is Illuminated
by COlOred Lights, Somewhat Against
His Wishes.

His Wishes.
Last evening large quantity of
material which had been prepared for
the purpose Of colored lights at the
church entertainment, took fire in Ru-
pert's store by spontaneous combus
ton, and illuminated the interior in a
gorgeously brilliant manner. Mr..
Rupert rushed to the shelf, on
which the colors were burning, and
caught up package that had not
commenced to burn. This he hurri-
eddy carried into the street and had
barely time to drop it before it all ig-
nited, and for minute or more the
upper end of Main street was painted
beautiful blue.
Very little damage was done to the
store as the burning material was re.
moved before the flames had reached
sufficient Roadway to set fire to other
goods.
Mr.. Rupert advises caution in the
use of material tor colored lights, as it
is very liable to take fire spontaneously
upon very slight change in the at
mosphere.

The Austin Reveille has this to

The Austin Reveille has this to
say su.ng Mr.. Toggart the
new editor of the Enterprise:
The editor of the Territorial
Enterprise has received much
abuse from the State papers, and
is siightingIy alluded to as being
imported from New York. In
our estimation he holds his
ground making the Enterprise
q direct exponent of its name.
The paper is no more a misno-
mer. If all imported editors
are like the Enterprises il
would be a good thing to have
more of them in the State.
The APPEAL can indorse
everything in the above. Mr..
TIA sgart has earned the respect
of the Nevada press aud has run
the Enterprise in the grove OF
a s-if-respecting first-class news
paper. Sighting illusions to
him have only come from
eultors who have no way OF
knowing what first-class Jour.
nalism means.

In San francisco arc th"uSdnuS
of people who are either compelled
to work for a mere pittauce or go
without employ ment. The testl-
meny now being taken before CON-
mi son in reference to the CT
strikes show that men are COM
PEELED to work as high as seventeen
hours a day for 81 q on cars where
they are subjected to cold winds
aud rain, which few constitutions
can long stand. If man we're to
work twenty years at this business

would leave nothing to his family

poverty to his wife, and bad consti-
buttons to his children.
a big city seems to be the Mecca
Of almost every man starting out in
life. A young man goes there be-
cause he thinks he is bound to get
a good situation where there are so
many things to be done. Thus the
big cities are always oyerstocked
with men who are glad to get work
at any price. Thousands Of men
will hang about a big city for years,
either doing the hardest kind Of
work on the smallest possible pay,
or living from hand to mouth in
idleness, fecked with occasional
crime, ard the idea never occurs to
them to 20 out into the country
and try to build themselves up.
The labor organizations seems to
have but one policy, and that Is, to
keep up a certain scale Of wages.
When a strike comes the order is
called upon to support the strikers,
aud the men who work are taxed to
support those who do not.
In some Of these strikes through
ought the United States millions of
dollars have been squandered With
no results.
Now, suppose these vast sums
expended in improbable assaults
on capital we're expended in taking
up good lands on the public domain
and putting the unemployed strik-
ers on the land to convert it into
grass, live stock and other produce,
how much better in the long run
would 1t be for the strikers?
Whenever the wages of monop-
oily did not suit the organization
they could draw off one hundred
men and send them out to the land
owned by the organization to work
for six months or a year. They
could keep on locating or buyips
more land every year, and presently
the men on the land would cease to
be a burden to the organization
and in a few years more the LAND
would be paying handsomely.
Were all the organizations te
adopt this policy labor would be
come 50 scarce in the big cities thai
wages would be higher.
Again, the manufacture Of sup
plies fer the extra amount Of lane
put under cultivation would in
crease the profits of the manufac
turers and they would be glad t.
pay higher wages. Would not thi'
be vastly better than for Thousands

were to cooperate with this system

Last week the Tallahassee prohibi,ionists

The prohibitionists of Florida have won some
remarkable victories, and they will win others if
they confne themselves TO the temperance cause
If they enter the field OF politics, however, and
take into their ranks all the cranks who want to
force their peculiar notions about this or that

already accomplished about all they ever will

The Temperance 0uestiOn.

We hal with pleasure the unanimous protest
of the State press against bringing this question
into politics. 1t seems that the man Martin,
who calls the Ocaa Convention is an obscure
crank, who acted without authority from any
respectable body of temperance people and the
best thing to do is to ignore altogether the
ment, and adhere strictly TO The policy of push
ing on the local option cause by united vote in
favor of Art. Xix OF the New Constitution.
The adoption of this article of the Constitution
will put the temperance issue just where the peo-
pie want it, and will enable each local commu-
nifty to settle the question for themselves in their
county elections to be held at such times as to
be mixed with no other questions.-C Cedar Key
