measures adopted, and of the sanitary work

| All the patients have now completely re-
covered The sanitary work was finished
yesterday, and in view of these circum-
| stances, DR.. Porter closes his bulletin as
| follows: Sufficient time has now elapsed
since the occurrence of the last case, with
| out any further recurrence of cases, to
| permit me to state that travel can safely be
resumed. Therefore l hereby remove all
| quarantine restrictions on travel from Key
| West, Fla, and request a similar action by
all state boards of health of neighboring
cities. JOSEPH Y. PORTER, N. D., state

John G. Borden of Green Cove Springs

| is we'll said that a wounded bird will f1ut-
| ter and feel hurt and am wounded in
spirit and pride because not one 81 gle town
made active work and demand on the state
board of health TO comply with require
ments or conditions whereby the cleanest
town could secure my 1000 offer, and
strangely. too, when 500 additional had
been paid by me to defray expenses.
Hoping some would take up the
matter, | allowed three full business days
TO pass before closing out the account so
long left on deposit with Amber, Marvin
q Stockton, and l now write to say that
feel badly that so much real indifference is
to my adopted state, and yet no better or
more substantial evidence of the absence of
want or poverty of our people can be
shown. 1t is questionable if any other
portion of the union can show such pros
perity and Independence and moneyed worth
as to lose the chance of putting $1,000 clean
money into their town or city treasury"
VIII Southern writes to the Kissimmee
Leader from Admission, Ala, as follows:
l am informed by my friends in Kissimmee,
aud also through your paper, that the check
/ had cashed at Mr.. Miler's was a forgery
and supposed to be on Mr.. Towne; and also
that report had been circulated that had
forged the check and skipped. That is a lie.
L received the check from a man by the
name of Willy, and it was on Mr.. Tomas of
the St Cloud works. This man Willy came
to me and wanted to buy a pistol, as he
heard had one to sell. He gave me this
Check; said he was, or had been,
working for Mr.. Tomas. 1 gave him
back in change 81 65, as sold
him the pistol for So. At the time he gave
me the check the bank was closed, as it was
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon; and as
had been looking at some shoes a few DAYS
before at MilIer's and saw a pair that l
liked, L went there on that evening-Satur-
day-and got them; and as had not enough
change IN my pocket without the aforesaid
check, Edward Earnest cashed the check. 1
am very sorry indeed that did not adver-
tlse my departure several DAYS beforehand,
but could not think that would be accused
OF forging check for the large sum of
$l6 To, and skipping with the proceeds"
Micanopy correspondence Gainesville Adj
Uocdte: Capt. J. ID. Johnson had hardly re-
turned from his Imprisonment on the false
charge of insanity when his son-in-law.
j. M. Quarterman, had a summons served
upon him to answer before Justice Miller on
complaint of debt for two cows valued
at $50, and claimed to have been killed bv
Capt johnson. There were only two law
yers in Micanopy, viz, J. w. Wideman and
j. q. Cosby. Mr.. Quarterman EMPLOYED
both OF them. Capt. johnson requested to
be heard through DR.. Montgomery. The
prosecution strenuously objected to this, on
the ground that DIR. Montgomery was not
licensed attorney. The court al
lowed Capt. johnson to be heard
through DIR. Montgomery. Then the
fun commenced. Dr. Montgomery showed
the injustice and illegality Of the proceed
lngs In such glaring light that, while the
evidence was being taken before the iury.
Mr.. Wideman arose and withdrew the suit
Immediately afterward j. M. Quarterman
appeared before Justice Miller and procured
warrant for his ther-in-law's arrest. on
charge OF cow-stealing, the cattle stolen
being valued at $75. II Quarterman could
not have his father in-law sent to the asylum
as insane, and could not get Judgment
against him for $50, as last resort, in the
tillal affection of his heart, he is going to
try TO have him sent to the penitentiary.
