were decorated with hobgoblins and the like,
cut from black material, and other signs of Hal

lower floors. The evening was passed in various
forms OF entertainment, refreshments being
served about Ills o'clock. Those present were

Officer Patton was shot Wednesday night
by negro whom he was attempting to ar
rest near the corner Of Church and Ocean
streets at jacksonville. The bullet evil
IDENTIFY one Of 3S-caliber, entered the left
side just above the hip, and on the right side
was bruise showing where 1t had stopped.
Mr.. Patton suffered no pain and was able to
walk about Or. Mitchell says the wound
is not serious.
On Monday Mrs. Harper Beville went to
Gainesville to do some shopping. Having
no portmanteau. she placed her money, con-
sisting Of IS and $40 bills, in paper sacks.
While in M. Endel q Bros. store, she pur-
chased a pocket-book and put her money
into it. When she arrived at home she
missed a IS bill. She had failed to remove
it from the paper sack, but Jacob Endel, by
the merest accident, found the sack with
the money in it.
Harry Morton, the young book peddler
who swindled the Misses Skehan, Of Mobile,
out of $5l2 of money on false pretense and
fled to Pensacola several weeks since, was
tried in the criminal court at Mobile last
Monday. In answer to the question If he
had anything to say why sentence should
not he passed. he plead for mercy at the hands
OF the court. Judge Semmes replied that
he could sympathize with a negro who
would steal because he was hungry, but that
Morton had ensconsced himself into the
graces of these ladies and had premeditated
taking their money. He thereupon SEM
tenced Morton to the penitentiary for the
term of three years.
DeLand Record: The large estate of N
M. Voorhis, situated in this and other coun-
ties of this state has got into the courts. II
consists of q 30-acre bearing grows near
DeLand, valued az between $4,000 and
$4,000, and 5000 acres of unimproved
lands scattered over the state. N. NJ.
Voorhis died in the summer of 1890, leav-
ing a widow and two children. Monday
morning last, when the county court upon
petition of the widow, ordered the sheriff to
| organize jury of five competent citizens
to examine into and set apart the dowrv
right of the widow from the improved
| portion of the estate, j. w. Howry,
brother of Mrs. Voorhis, and the rich
| lumberman of East Saginaw, Mich, steps
in which petition and bill of exception
protesting against the proceedings of Mrs.
| Voorhis. upon the ground that for years
before the death of Mr.. Voorhis, he ad-
vanced money TO improve this property
claimed to be jointly owned. The court
ordered the jury, Silas B. Wright John L.
| Nuckois. George w. Fisher, John Cranor
and Lance Adams, TO proceed with the
duties intrusted to them. The dowry is
selected from the grove and 100 acre
tract west Of the city. aud it is doubtful if
| Howry succeeds In divesting her of her
right of dowry. The case goes into court
of equity, aud is good one for the lawyers.

1T Is IMPORTANT.

There is danger that to little interest
will be taken IN the coming election. 1t
is a sorry fact that interest in political
matters is generally awakened by those
financially interested. Another year
with many county and state Offices to
fill, there will be no want OF it. But
this season, outside Of one commissioner
district, there are no interested workers.
There is only one man to be chosen and
he goes to Washington and in these
matters it has become the custom to
trust our parties.
To independents and all who seek re-
form. the Importance OF choosing the
right man to represent them in the Ma
tional Capital should be too plain to
need emphasizing. The people want
more money atlower rates OF interest,
they want a closer control Of railroads,
if not ownership. They want to elimi-
mate the tax levied between the produc-
er and consumer OF grain. These meas
ures are only advocated by the new
party and the election OF Farmer Smith
is step toward attaining them. The
statement that we as yet have no power
there, which is often used by the opposi.
ton, should strengthen, rather than
weaken, ourefforts. There must always
be a beginning. The new party has
passed that point. They will have be.
tween thirty and forty representatives
in the next congress, besides a number III
both old parties pledged to their meas
ures. This little band, like the heroesat
Pierre. are unpurcbaseable. They will
stand shoulder to shoulder ndalthougt
weak in numbers will WELD a power
that will be felt throughout the land
South Dakotahas already contributed
one to that number, a nan whom oul
enemies proclaim above reproach. Let
her add another and give Senator Kyle

SENATOR 6 i CLUB.
His Attempt to Pound Alliance Men Bach
Into the Democratic Parity.

His Attempt to Pound Alliance Men Back,
Into the Democratic Party.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, is out
with another proposition to entrap the
trustful Alliance. But a few months
since this same senator cams out in a
long letter which he boastingly de-
clared killed the Ocala demands as dead
as Hector in the state of Alabama. For
some reason this message of destruction
miscarried, and both the Alliance and
Ocala demands are living factors in the,
economic questions concerning Alabama.
Realizing the gravityo of the situation,
the honorable gentleman has taken an
other track and writes a long letter,
from which the following is taken:
Nov comes the crucial test that will
solve all our party antagonisms and con-
tentions in Alabama and preserve the
organization OF the Democratic party,
and that is a resolution in any state or
district Or county convention of the
Democratic party which is asked to in
dorse the Ocala platform, reciting the
fact that the Ocala demands are national
in their character and shall be referred
to the national Democratic convention
for consideration and settlement, and
that the members of the state, district
or county convention pledge themselves
to abide by the decision of the national
convention and support its nominees for
president and vice president.
"If such a resolution is voted down in
any convention calling itself Democratic,
such action puts the majority of such a
convention outside of the Democratic
party, because they refuse to submit ma
tional questions, party interests, prin-
ciples, measures and policies to the ma
tional convention, and refuse to abide
by its determination, and in the national
convention, after such action, they are
entitled to no representation. In such
an event the issue is unavoidable be-
tween the Democratic and Alliance or
third party. The issue should be made
at the threshold. If you are a Democrat
you will agree to refer differences relat-
ing to national matters to the national
convention and abide it's decision and
support it's nominees"
The above combination of the tricky
politician and bulldozing partisan will
fall about as fat as the first attempt to
wipe out the demands. The senator has
missed the combination a second time,
and should be more careful in the future.
Old birds are difficult to fool with chaf.

by John M. Moore & Co.
The Great Source of Crime.

Everybody who lives i'll Chicago
knows that It's 5000 saloons have some
thing DIDO with municipal crime. Any
one who reads the reports OF the pro
ceedings Of the police courts knows that
intemperance figures in about two
thirds Of the cases reported. Hardly a
blood-curdling murder or suicide finds it
way into the newspapers in which whis-
key has not played a part. Prison
statistics the world over show that
nearly all criminals come togriefthrough
their drinking habits. OF late years the
evils OF intemperance have created great
alarm in France and Germany. where
there is less drunkenness than in any
other civilized country, and have led to
the most stringent and sweeping in
quiries and reformatory measures.
