with the blows he landed, During an ex-
change, Napier slipped to the floor There

Round 2-There was some hard fight
ing in this round, and Napier nearly upset

though the latter landed heavily on the
jaw.

very much in Napiers favor.
In the sixth round, Van Hest half fell
and was half knocked down, though he
delivered some terrific stomach punches.
Nothing important in the seventh
round. Some vicious fighting in the
eighth round. Van Hest had the best of It,.

fight so far. Both men scored heavy

swing on the Jaw.

Some Rather Remarkable Things
Found IN Florida


Gainesville, Fla, Sept. 20.-Some color
ed people killed in Cunningham's lane
to-day a snake having twelve rattles.
Pearce of Hagueis buildinga long cot
ton gin at that place The right of way
for the water main TO Boulware spring

ed, progressive citizens, Lawrence Jack
son and County Treasurer Joe Shannon
The papers are telling of the worst
case of observation-disclosures known. that of
man missing his watch and consulting
it to see if he had time TO return for it.
This is not substantiated, but here is a
case that is and beats it very far, Mrs
Agnes Rice, n kinswOman of the writer's
wife, was getting ready to go on a journey
and was nursing her infant, Victoria,
when the carriage rolled up to the door.
Rising with the infant TO her breast, she
began and searched the house from room
to room, manifeSting the greatest distress
at not being able to find her baby. When
her attention was called to the fact that
1t was IN her arms, she was both de-
lighted and confused.
Seeing some young men digging earth
for angle worms for bait to-day was re-
minded of the history of the faithful lure
of the willy Dream in Alachua county if
not in all Florida. DR.. William II. Bracy,
an ardent admirer of old Ike Walton, who
came here from Virginia twenty-Odd
years ago, was much annoyed at not be-
ing able TO get his favorite bait, and on
visit to his home i'll the Old Dominion
he brought back with him box of worms
from which the county has been well
stocked Thirteen years ago the writer
moved here and in DIR. Bracy's back yard
was the only place earth worms could be
found. 1t has often been told how many
of 0a Mt h htzir, he
surface, and how they aid the farmer in
loosening the soil, but l could never take
the figures in until after observations
made each morning this summer, and
now | do not think the figures exagger-
ated in the least. The earth in the early
morning looks like the bottom of u collon-
der, so thickly bored is it by the worms
during the night.
Carrie miller, the twelve-year-old
daughter of f. X. Miller, has a very
young cat squirrel, so young that she
feeds it with her dolls sucking bottle 1t
is laughable in the extreme to see this
wee orphan with its great grey tail curled
over its back, sitting onits launches hold
ing the tiny feeding bottle to its mouth
with its fore paws.
Carrie is as much of an oddity as the
squirrel, as the following will show: A
married friend feeds her baby on ster-
ilized milk, and as Carries love is about
equally divided between her friend
baby and her pet squirrel she concluded
that the squirrel should be fed with the
same carefully handled nourishment, so
she feeds him now on sterihzed milk Oh,
the times, the manners. When l was a
boy there was not a doctor in the whole
wide state of Georgia who had ever heard
of sterilized milk now twelve year old
girls feed their pets on it, We shall fly
soon. No doubt of it.

plains the situation:
''To the Colored Population: A trans

the condition of our race. We mean to
prepare to go to Africa or to any place on
the face of the globe. The condition of
our people is alarming. Many are unable
to feed and clothe themselves on account
of the low wages which they receive for
their work. In consequence of this
fact, they have appealed to their
preachers to look for them, a more
congenial field in which to labor for the
necessaries of life. r#>t
"For this cause, meeting was called in
the city of Sumter, S. c., Sept. IA, and an
organization was effected, with the Rev.
Isaac r. Miller as president and VIM. d.

docks
sTUPENDOUS UNDERTAKING.
The cost will be up in the millions, but
II is said to be iuStifiable because of the
great amount of the coal and lumber trade
of this port and the prospect of grain
shipments going west. Plans have been
passed upon by eminent English eginneers
and approved, and the capital is
secured. Some delay has been caused by
the failure of the Secretary of War to
give his approval of the plans for a
bridge over Grants Pass, but this ap-
proval was given Monday, and was fol-
lowed by an order for work to begin at
once.

CHICAGO, July 2g--The objections by the
western roads TO the reduction of rates for
the Grand Army of the Republic encamp-
ment have been explained today. They
claim that they were acting solely with the
view OF protecting the interests of Chicago
and the Worlds fair under the terms of the
presidents agreement, adopted prior to
the Opening Of the fair, namely, that no
reduced rates through Chicago may be made
while the Worlds fair is in progress. No
action OF the Western Passenger association
can superseue the agreement. Consequently,
had reduced rates for the Grand Army been
agreed upon, they would have been
available only through Peoria. Bloom
ington and st. Louis. The pro-
posed basis would have made
the rate from the Missouri river 10 Indian
apois through st. Louis. sli 80, and through
Peoria or Bloomington, Sl4.T5, while the best
rate that could be Obtained through Chicago
would have been SIS 10. AS things are the

encampment from the Missouri river through
St Louis and return by way Of Chicago

call was issued today for meeting of

for reduced rates, including rates for harvest
