Between and O'Clock Tuesday night, as
| Mrs. Josephine BetteIini and family were sit
| ting on the front piazza Of their residence at
| jacksonville a thief entered the house
! through the back hall door and went upstairs
and entered Mrs. Bettenis bedroom and

some keys belonging TO her desk On the
bureau where the thief found the pocket book
containing the money were two diamond
rings and gold watch and chain, but 1t seems
that he was afraid to carry of the jewelry.
A few days ago well appearing man walked
into the store Of Hess a clOthier at Jackson
vile, and purchased some goods. He gave IN
payment a check for So OS on the First Ma
tiOnal Bank Of that city, signed by IL. l..
Bowling & Bro. and Endorsed it with the name
of W. c. Nichols When Mr.. Hess carried
this check to the bank for deposit he was
told that there was no such account on It's
books. He knew then he had been Swlndled.
! Henry Fritot, the cigar dealer, was also VIC
timiZed to the extent of 80 90 by a similar
check. Nichols has been stopping at Bettl-
lini's European hotel where he registered
under the name of Honoysuclle. His real

T. V. Porter, Ed F. DeCottes and Charles
Marvin have received notice from GOV.

sioners viii lie reappointed as soon as the

For the last half dozen years George B.
Dickinson of Orlando has been considering
the practicability Of some plan by which the
roll la
ages at certain points on the St Johns river
and its tributaries. might be converted into
portable and available form for furnishing
the much needed humus to our naturally thin,
and now almost exhausted cultivated pine
lands in South and East Florida. This object
seems to be now in fair way Of accomplish
ment The special charter incorporating
The East and South Florida Muck
Mining and Improvement Company" is
! one liberal and ample in its provisions. II
gives life Of twenty years to the company
and the sole right over an extensive area
about 800 miles, to mine muck, with all of
the necessary powers for putting IL into com
mercial form from its crude state or in combi-
nation, with rights OF tranSportating the same,
etc. BY analysis this product Of the rivers
is worth from 81 to Is per dry ton. The de-
mand Is great for such product and 1t is be
lieved that rs 600 to $1,000 tons per year could
be sold in Florida and other nearby places in
Georgia.
Ocala Capitol: It happened near the close
of the Oeala high school when two of its
TO complete their term by their fond parents.
The matter was kept very quiet and only re-
Gently leaked out so the gOssips could make
capital out of Il, Some said il was caused by
mixture and rupture in the different modes
OF music teaching and the two ideas caused a
clash. But others say there was a slight
touch OF love connected with the removal OF
the young ladies, coming from the principal
Of the school. This wasn't at all unnatural
for man 70 do, and only showed his good taste
for selecting one so young modest and lovely.

the professor TO the mother II she would only
let her daughters return and take part in the
closing exercises as they had already com
menced to practice for the event-the happiest
in the life OF school girl But it was not ae
copied. Tears were shed; pleadings and
prayers were offered, but all vain Fate had
sealed itself! The commencement exercises
took place and closed and in few short days
the professor left, leaving word with the
school board that he did not desire the posi-
ton again and would not return. He left un-
tremendously and without any hurrah of
trumpets and floral shower as the train de-
parted, At the last meeting of the board of
education the matter of resignation was dis
cussed and accepted and new man named.
Orlando Reporter: After several weeks of
confusion and unpleasant wrangling the mat
ter of receivership of the Kissimmee City
Bank is now likely to be settled. In order to
give O thorough understanding of the case we
will have 80 go back as far as May 26, upon
which date Mrs Drought, by her attorney, G.

! court Settng up the assignment OF nef son,

| urday May %, Beggs & Palmer filed a bill for
| the Hanover National Bank OF New York,
| asking for receiver of the KissimmCe City
Bank, a partnership existing between A. E.
! Drought and J. B. Watson; first, because
1 Drought had attempted to assign property
of the partnership; second, because the
failure of the assignee to make bond had
/ rendered the assignment void, and for other

! Chubb, about II o'clock q, M OF the 27th, which
was about the time Broome appointed Carson,
