During the past several months the
stock raisers of the western part Of
Alachua county have missed a great
deal of their stock, and especially their
young steer. The absence of the latter
in such conspicuous numbers has made
itself evident that some thieves were
doing" the locality and were working
hard. Posses have been organized upon
more than one occasion for the purpose
of ascertafning the guilty parties and
bring them to Justice. The fiat woods
have been secured but all to no avail

The Daytona News says that the

on rattlesnake fang that had been

By the prompt action of G. r. Lind

A gentleman versed in bee culture
informed the Weekly Gazette of West
Palm Beach few days ago that the
pennyroyal so abundant in our woods

BRIGHAM YOUNG OF BIRDS.
This Feathered Songster Can Boast
of Eleven Wives.

When Howard Pitkn of East Hartford
was harvesting his tobacco last September
he discovered upon a girder in one of his
sheds queer specimen of bird architecture,
which seems I'd be without parallel in or
anthology. This was the nest or rather
series OF nests, Of the common robin. There
were eleven in number, built close together
i'll one ruy,z and so interviewer that the
whole stringscuuid be lifted like chain.
Evidently they were the work of one bird,
orone pair of birds, and seemingly were built
from the center, as the center nest CON-
tanned the eggs and the nests at each end
were i'll an unfinished state. The Others
seem to be perfect III construction, but
differ much from the nests usually built
by this bird, the coarse sticks of the foun-

they are built of one kind of grass, after the
manner of the nests of the orchard orioie
UcterHs Pecorisl, and this grass is su inter-
twined and woven together that it links the
whole series into one piece. The eggs are
indispltably robins, and, indeed. the bird

The only plausible theory for the motive

constructed by male bird who had just
arrived from Salt Lake City.

HER FIRST TANDTHIRD HUSBANDS.
A fter Number Two Had Died She
Remarried Number One.

4 singular matrimonial reunion occurred
at MedfOrd, Mass, Saturday night, when,
over the grave OF her second husband, the
bride was remarked 10 her first husba nd,
John II. Jackson, whom she had long
thought dead.
\ carriage containing five persons drove
into the cemetery and all the occupants got
ont. Two were women. three men. Two
OF the men wore high hats and were fash
ioDably dressed. The other was a clergy
man. The women wore heavy, long CIoaks
cOncealinE their dresses.
The party approa che,l a grave, and one
OF the women, who Wore Il GaiBsborough
hat. and one of the men ciasped hands
over a small mound. The minister then
approached, and, uDcovcring his head, took
out a small volume and read the maria ge
ceremony.
When The bride lifted her hand she dis
closed the fact that she wore white wed
ding garments under her heavy black cloak.
\ ring was passed across the grave. The
bride, not withsianding the dismal sur
roundings, smiled with evident happiness at
the prospect OF reunion with her first
husband after twenty-six years of separa-
tiOD. The bridegroom was la wyer.
The people of Mcdford never knew why
the couple separated, and the disappear
aDce of Jackson was a great mystery at
the time. When Jackson had been miss
ing seven years and was legally dead his
wife married again. Recently he came
back from the West and met his wife, who
be thought was dead. The old love re-
yived, and the result was the sumber cere-
mony of Saturday evening. After the cere-
moDy there was big reception at the home
OF the bride.

THEFTS AND THE POLICE.

The long list of thefis committed in the
District within the last four weeks, as
pnblishcd yesterday in The Evening Times
makes rather an unpleasant showing. What
makes the exhibit more disagreeable is
the circumstances that comparatively few
OF the thieves have been run down, and the
most annoying feature OF the whole
wrctched business is that the failure to
find the culprits and bring them to justice
is due TO the Inadequate police force. This.
to be sure, is a thrice told tale, and all
the more 1t Is TO be regretted that Con-
grrss has paid no Iced 10 the representa-
tions made to it on that subject.
Stventy-threc square miles of territory
must he guarded by force ofnOminally four
hundred and fifty-seven men. This, how
ever, includes the major captain, lieu
tenants, detectives and station keepers.
Then about twenty per cent Of the men are
employed on guard duty at the White House
and other public buildings, and the re-
suit is that there are only four hundred men
to patrol seventy-three square miles of
territory. That is an average of five
and one-half square miles to man, ana III
does not require a great deal OF oalcula-
tion to comprehend that that man cannot
do his palroling very thoroughly or eifec-
lively.
Thus the opportunity is created for the
light-!ingcred gentry, and no less for the
more dangerous class OF villains That enter
houses in the night and will not hesitate
10 commit murder in connection with rob
berry. Sufficient warning las been given
that this class of criminals is making its
way 10 Washington In constantly incrcas-
ing numbers, and that enc ofthe grave prob
lens which the police will have to deal
with this winter is how. to keep these
crooks at least partly in check.
OF course, an increase of the force is the
only proper remedy, an increase Of not less
than fifty per cent. An estimate for some
thing like that number has been made by
the Commissioners, but that is for the
next fiscal year. We need the increase
at once and . special effort should be made
in that direction.
