Can you inform me what amount of lime is con-
tanned in the average Florida soil? If you will
publish an analysis of the soil you will greatly
oblige SUBSCRIBER.
AS to the amount of lime or other con-
stituent in Florida soil, it is too sweeping
a question to be answered intelligently or
satisfactorily. Soils would of course
vary; some might contain a certain
amount of lime and others not half that
amount, SO we fear that any answer that
we might give would be valueless. We
advise that you send a sample of the soil
you wish analyzed to j. p. DePass, direc-
tor Florida Experimental Station, Lake

A Big Drainage Scheme Before Illinois
SOlons

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Feb. 2.-The most i'm
portant measure introduced in the state SEN
ate yesterday was the Chicago drainage bill,
which proposes to permit Chicago to empty
her sewers into the Desplaines and Illinois
rivers and thence into the Mississippi II
was accompanied by report in which the
bill is recommended as one that will solve the
Chicago drainage problem without injuring
the people along the line of the waterway
proposed Briefly the bill provides that The
channel shall be. in clay cutting, Ia feet deep,
and of capacity of 100000 cubic feet of
water per minute, and, in rock cutting, Ii
feet deep and of a capacity of 100000 feet
per minute. When the district drained has
population of 100000 the channel
is to be enlarged to capacity of 20 900 cubic
feet for every 100000 population; and the
district drained shall pay the entire expense
of all the work. 1t was referred to the water
ways committee. The savings bank bill was
reported favorably, and a bill introduced
prohibiting the giving away or selling to
minors 'fiashy" newspapers, devoted to illus
nating vice and crime. The drainage bill
was also introduced in the house and referred
to committee of the whole. Bills were in
troduced: Providing that the owner of land
encountered with lien or mortgage may de
duct the amount of same when listing for
taxation; appropriating s145, 900 for the state
militia The senate adjourned to Monday
and the house to to-day.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb 2-Hon. Frank
W. Pope, who was the independent Repuh

threatened with lynchins at Madison, where
he recently went for the purpose of procur.
ing evidence to sustain the contest of F. S,
Goodrich, Republican, for the congressional
seat for that district. Rumors rejecting on
Mr.. Pope's methods spread, and certain hot.
headed individuals took advantage of the pop
ular excitement to instigate a movement
against him. The aut horities determined
that Mr.. Pope should be protected at all haz-
ards Governor Fleming telegraphed to the
same effect. Sheriff Palramore collected a
posse and surrounded the house where Mr.
Pope was staying Thursday night, that being
the time selected for the attack The would
be lynchers appeared, but were dismayed at
the preparations made t. receive them, and
dispersed 1t is feared that they will renew
their operations, and the sheriff and posse are
keeping careful watch over Mr. Pope Mr.
Pope is native of Madison, but has become
very unpopular of late years ON account of
his political record. He Is plucky, and tele-
graphs his friends that he has no fear
