FLORIDA,s ELECTION.
The Republicans Have no Ticket
in the FieId.

JACKSONVILLE, Florida, October By
the general election law passed in 1885, the
state and county elections in Florida were
separated from the national and congress
sional election. This is the first year the
separation clause Of the new statue is
operative. On Tuesday, Florida elects a
governor, secretary Of state, one justice of
the supreme court, attorney general, comp
trOller, treasurer, superintendent of public
instruction and a commissioner of agri-
culture. All the counties will choose a
member of the lower house of the legisla-
ture, and sixteen out of thirty-two sena-
tOrial districts will choose state senators.
all counties will choose county officers
There are two full state tickets in the field,
those of the democrats and of the peoples
party.
The republicans have made no nomina-
tiOns this year, either national electors
congressman, state or county officers, for
the reason of alleged unfairness in the
present election laws, passed by the demo-
cratic legislature. An agreement is said to
have been entered into by which republi-
can votes will be thrown for the peoples
party candidates, but as a general thing
the republicans have not qualified for cleo
ton by registering and paying poll taxes.

MISS BERTHA DENTON.
She Drops the Proceeding Against
Mrs. SMELL,


Bertha Denton has caused her suit for
$4,000 damages for defamation Of character
against Jennie M. Smell to be discontinued
in the superior court. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mrs. Smell accused Bertha Of
separating her from her husband, Lieut..
Col. Marshal X. Smell; also that Bertha
created a sensation IN the state camp last
summer, and had to be driven to Tacoma
at or near midnight because Mrs, Smell
would not sleep under the same tent with
her. Mrs. Smell said she was no lady, and
called her some pretty hard names, all of
which Bertha thought Mrs. Smell could
not prove, and brought suit for defama-
ton of character and damage to her repu-
tation.
Later Mrs. Smell was divorced from her
husband. She is now with her people in
Wisconsin. 1t is broadly intimated and
not denied by Bertha's consul that Lieut.
/ Col. Smell is pleased to have the case dis
missed. The dismissal papers were filed
on Friday, and every effort has been made
/ to keep the matter quiet. Bertha reserves
the right to resume the action at any time
/ She now proposes to leave the city, and
/ claims to have no time to prosecute.

ARMY DETECTIvE WORK
How an officer Performed IngIOri.
GUS Duty Assigned Him.

Jus OANI Ahhlti AAGAA
A rather good story is going around the
war Office inst now about bit of detective
work that was done by one of the officers
when he was acting as quartermaster al
West Point. One day Lieutenant Keller
the quartermaster, was summoned to head.
quarters by General Fielding, at that time
commandant of cadets. He found the gen.
eral seated there and when all the doors
had been carefully closed and the orderly
sent out Of the room, the general addressed
him:
"Mr Keller" he said, "are you ac-
quainted with Mr.. Prather 2"
Mr.. Keller replied that he was and that
Prather was a civilian employe who han
died some of the money.
"Well sir" said the general in low
tone, 81 have made a most unpleasant dis
covery. AS you say, Prather handles gov
eminent money. l have recently discOV-
cred that this man has purchased a farm.
Now / am sure that with the low salary
he receives, he could not possibly do this.
Why, IcOuldn't do it with mine. But he
has, and I am sure that there must be
something queer here and that is the rea-
son / have sent for you. l want you to 20
about it quietly and see whether-Well, in
fact, whether he has stolen money or not"
Lieutenant Keller stared at him in
amazement. The idea of the Generals de-
Gliding that a man had stolen money on
such weak grounds seemed preposterOus.
Then he had asked him, an officer in the
United States army, to sneak around like
a id detective and ferret it out at first
he was inclined to say words to the General
that might have been considered some
what strong, but on second thought he re-
piled, avery well, sir, ," and went out. He
at once proceeded to Mr.. Prathers quar-
ters and finding him seated on the porch,
without any preface, demanded:
"Mr. Prather, have you been stealing
money!"
"What the devil are you talking about, +"
gasped Prather. "Of course l haven't.
What do you mean2"
"Well replied Keller, "just this. Gem
eral Fielding says that you have bought a
farm and that you must have stolen the
money to get it, and he asked me to find
out about it. Now, did you steal that
money P'
"Well," replied Prather slowly, but al
most boiling over with suppressed wrath,
''if L did buy farm l don't see that it's
any of the generals damned business, and
as for stealing money I'll go over and see
the general about that"
Mr.. Prather and the general had a short
interview, from which the general came
forth with a very red face and proceeded
to the club where he remained drinking
cocktails the rest of the day. He never
asked Lieutenant Keller to do detective
work again Washington Sunday Herald.
