LAST NIGHTS LECTURE.

Notwithstanding the cold
good audience gathered in Witness
hall last night to hear the eloquent
address on temperance by Col J J.
Hickman. After singing by the
congregation and prayer by Rev
]. 2. Hilburn, Col. Hickman said
that he knew that temperance was
not popular theme with some
people; but it was one of vast i'm
portance. He has been fighting
the rum power for more than
twenty-five years, and hopes to
keep it up to the close of his life.
He showed that great progress
had been made in the cause of pro-
hibition and total abstinence. He
challenged the advocates of sa-
looms to show one good thing
which has ever emapated from the
liquor traffic. The idea that IL
cenSed bar-rOOms create business
and bring revenue TO the city gov
ernment was exploded when the
speaker showed by statistics the
actual cost OF prosecuting the
criminals and feeding the great
army Of paupers which are annual
ly turned out by these legaljzed
doggeries. If the money which
goes into the half dozen saloons IN
Ocala was invested IN phosphate
and cotton factories, it would be
worth twice as much to the fegiti-
mate business of our town, besides
shutting down the foodgafes Of
crime.
The address bristIed with god
humor and apt illustrations. Col
Hickman had 3 highly representa-
tive audience, many Of our leading
citizens being present, ard all ex-
pressed themselves as being dc
lighted with the lecture.
It. was unanimously decided by
a rising vote to have Col. Hick-
man deliver another lecture In
Witness hail Sunday afternoon at
3 O'Clock. The STAR congratulates
the Ocala people upon having such
distinguished orator in their
midst as Col, Hickman, and trusts
that his splendid talents will be
thoroughly utilized along the lines
of temperance reform.

The peach crop has been nearly all
harvested.
Pears are all gathered.
Apples continue to fall from the
trees when shaken by the wind.
Grasshoppers are very numerous in
some parts of the valley and will cause
some delay In sowing wheat as their
number is SO great that they threaten
to devour the young plant as soon as
they appear. There will probably be
a less quantity of wheat sown this year
on account of the want of success in
wheat raising for the last two seasons
and the inability of farmers to buy
seed wheat.
There was large gathering at the
picnic in the grove last Wednesday,
and several good speeches were made
and good time enjoyed. l have heard
the speeches made by Bro. and Sister

Sunday School Picnic.

The Sunday school picnic given by
the Sharon valley S. S. A. on Wednes-
day, the 4th inst, at Sharon, was
grand success. The day, though warm
was fine one, and before ten o'clock
the delegations began to arrive at the
grove one mile south OF town. By 1890
MarshalWhite reported all the schools,
except one. represented on the ground.
Members of this school arrived later
and the total number of schools repre-
sented were ten. as follows:
Sharon, Enon, U. B., county line)
Crisfield, Unity. Mckinley, (Mumford)
Central View, College Hill, Pixley and
Medicine Lodge, tMethodist).
With the single exception of the col
ored brother, Martin of northern Bar
Der, every speaker previously announced
was present. By request Bro. Martins
place was filed by Sister w. A. Cam of
Medicine Lodge, so that the entire pro-
gram, though lengthy, was fully carried
out, and it was interesting from begin
ming to end. The songs were all fine
and well rendered, the speeches were
excellent and i'll each instance, deliver
ed in the speakers happiest vein and
most forcible style.
An adjournment was had at twelve
O'Clock, and for the next two hours din
ner and friendly greetings was the or
der. AT 2 O'Clock congregation was
again called to order by song from the
Medicine Lodge school, after which an
election was held resulting as follows:
President, Edgar Keith; vice president,
G. E. Golf; secretary, NJ. H. White,
and Jas. Huffaker, treasurer.
The officers, together with one dele
gate from each school, are requested to
meet at the Christian church in Sharon
on the first Saturday IN next July at 2
O'Clock. to arrange for picnic next
year. Don't forget the date.
On request of Bro. Tilbury it was or
dered that each school at the picnic
next year be prepared to report the
number of conversions among Its schol.
ars during the year.
About 4:30 the program was finished
by singing God Be With You Till We
Meet Again." which was sung by
the whole congregation and was a
fitting finale of a day very pleasantly
spent IN the interest of Sunday schools.
After this there was a fervent prayer
and benedictlon by Rev. Robinson, and
the large crowd dispersed feeling it had
been good to be there.
Everyone whom we heard express
himself was unanimous in the opinion
that the thanks of the association were
especially due to Mr.. Vandiver who
had charge of the grounds for the able
and satisfactory manner in which he
looked after the wants of the people.
He supplied plenty Of cool water all
day and the numerous swings put up
contributed largely to the enjoyment of
the little folks. j. 0. HAHN,

A game of base ball was played be-
tween the Wichita Blues and the King
man nine, during which there was
much wrapgling, the Blues doing most
of the kicking. The Kingman boys
were gentlemanly throughout the game
and when called out, retired without a
murmur. The Wichita boys acted like
a lot of babies and received the con-
demnation of all who saw the game.
The trouble probably was that the
Blues thought before the game that
they were to have holiday picnic, but
after learning that the Kingman boys
could really play ball, in fact could play
all around them, they were chagrined,
mad and made kick against nything
and everything, that they might not be
defeated by lot of country boys of a
western county. The people of the
city much deplore the affair, and the
criticism heaped upon the Blues on all
sides are not altogether complimentary.
The score stood at the finish to 8 when
the umpire gave the game to Kingman
by score of to 0.-Wichita Common
er.

Monday evening while &. r. Stout,
of Cedar township. was watering his
team at the city tank, the horses be-
came frightened and broke away and
ran north through main street at gait
only excelled by Directly" or steeds
of like record. The horses were hitch.
ed to light spring wagon and were
bridleless, the brides having been tax
en- off by Mr.. Stout before watering.
1t was feared that the horses would
run off into the bluffs or bitches north
OF town and rum themselves as well as
the wagon to which they were hitched,
but fortune was in Mr. Stout's favor
and the affair resulted in very little
damage. A few men on horse back
found the team and wagon in Burnett's
pasture north of town with nothing
damaged except one single tree which
was broken. One of the horses was
found in STOPPING position IN small
ditch but not hurt. Considering that
the team passed numerous banks and
precipices and that they ran through a
barb wire fence breaking down three
posts, 1t is wonder that no damage
was done.

Joseph Thrill, j. G. Hiatt and Mr..
Bragg, of Kintz, returned Sunday from
Medicine Lodge, where they had been
to dispose of their wheat. They were
only offered 40 cents at Klowa; but they
take the Review and had read our adj
vertisement from the Medicine Lodge
Roller Mills. Accordingly they set out
for that place and the result was that
they got 60 cents per bushel for their
wheat. Here is one of manv instances
where both advertiser and reader can
find money in their pockets from ad-
vertising. There is moral in this for
business men to advertise in the Re-
view and for the general public to read
our advertisements. The people who
advertise always give better satisfac-
ton to customers than those who do
not, and are more responsible business
men.-Alva Review. The same adj
vertisement appears in the INDEX also.

District Court.

The first case disposed of was that
of State VS.. Burke, charged with horse
stealing, an account of which appeared
frequently in the county papers. The
defendant plead guilty Wednesday
morning and was sentenced to six
months in the county Jail.
In the early part of last week the
county attorney filed a motion before
the court to issue an execution against
the drug stock of 0. L. Day on the
ground that the county commissioners
had no authority in RENTING fines
and costs in the late liquor cases which
have now becomeBarber county history.
The execution was ordered issued: but
before the sheriff could levy on the store.
foreign creditors had taken possession
of the stock and the doors were closed.
e. Sample acting as attorney for the
creditors. That the commissions erred
in their action in RENTING fines and
costs is now established beyond doubt.
In the Bennington case, a motion for
a change of venue was overruled and
the work of procuring jury began on
Thursday afternoon. The regular pam
ell of 26 was exhausted Thursday even
ing and the Judge ordered special
list of 26 to be brought the following
day. The jury was completed Thursday
at noon and the case went to trial i'm
mediately after dinner. The following
is the personnel of the Jury:
Marion Fox Geo. Scott
Lester White Joe Morris
!. Z; Carter Douglas Martin
G Gayis !, G %S;}n F d Ba,nhsrt
The trial progressed rapidly and in
comparison with the time consumed In
the same trial at the May term, was
especially remarkable for the amount
of time saved. The evidence was in
at noon Monday aud the attorneys
made their argument to the jury on
Monday afternoon. The same attor-
neys conducted the case as at the May
term with the exception of Judge Ellis
who was employed as assistant counsel
subsequent to the May trial. The case
went to the jury at $50 Monday, D. M.
and the jury was out until 5 O'Clock
Tuesday morning when a verdict of
mot guilty" was returned. The ia.
nous case as well as the expense to the
| county is now ended and Bennington
is again free man. ALI of this goes
to show the uncertainty of jury trials.
One jury has declared him guilty and
| another has declared him innocent.
The evidence in both instances was
| substantially the same.
Yesterday was chiefly devoted to set
ting tie docket, confirming sheriff
sales. hearing motions, etc.
The case of State VS.. Stout will not
be called up this term. This IS the
| only criminal case left on the docket.

While returning from an evening
ride IN the country on his Dyke Monday
evening, Geo. Hubbard met with an
accident which might have proved Sc
rious. just below the bridge near his
residence he ran against John Lytle's
horse and buggy; and then there was
a little fracas of few minutes dura-
ton. The horse got its foot between
the spokes of the wheel and danced
merrily but soon broke out three spokes
and all was orderly again. In the
meantime George saw stars, moons
and worlds heaped upon worlds while
he was rolling whittier he knew not.
But after short time he gained his
equilibrium and found out where he
was at,'' gathered the wheel and it's
component parts which were seeming
ly in his head, and domiciled himself
In the Hubbard mansion. George said
the buggy shaft came very near striking
him on the head and if it had. with the
speed he was going, his Uranium would
have been perforated to an uncertain
extent. Taking it all In all, George
played with great luck.
