Temperance Meeting.

The Ocala Temperance Reform
Club met yesterday afternoon at
Temperance Hall. The attend
ance was unusually large, and the
reading by Miss Winer could not
fail to be appreciated by all lovers
of morality and truth,
The Ocala Musical Club was
very generous in rendering their
sweet and gratifying strains, and
we feel that we utter the thoughts
of all present when we thank these
young men for their part of the
program.
Resolutions were adopted COM
mending Mayor Reardon for his
firm stand for moral reform in our
city. Would that we had just fifty
more influential citizens of Mayor
Reardon's kind 1t would not be
long until these vices would be
blotted out.
Mrs. Kate Liddell and Miss
Daisy Moore were reelected edi-
tresses of the temperance Column
in the STAR for another week.
Resolutions of thanks adopted

Reardon, chief magistrate of the
city of Ocala, sitting in judgment
on certain violations of the laws of

(amid so much official corruption
in high places), commends himself
to the law-abiding, moral and con-
sentative citizens of our city
therefore be it
Resolved, by the Ocala Temper

PLANTATIONS AFIRE.
One by One the Planters Being
Burned Out.
LabOrers Flee to the Towns and
Cane Uncut.

New YORK. Aug. 26.-The Ward line
steamer Santiago from Cuba brought DR..
H.Von Herff of this CITY, In conversation
with the reporter DR.. Won Herff said:
81 found business of all kinds in San
tiago de Cuba at standstill Most of the
merchants we're waiting for better times
Some of them had closed their
doors. Recently the government issued
an order forbidding the merchants to sell
any goods or material TO women or
children from the country. This was
done to cut of the insurtiontionists from
obtaining any supplies from the towns.
81 made one short trip from Santiago
to the interior of the country, but it was
risky undertaking The rail
road was guarded at seve-
raj points by Spanish troops
The province of Santiago de Cuba is
sparsely settled, the principal places be-
ing the settlements of the workmen on
the big sugar plantations. Inland. the
province-in fact the eastern half of
Cuba-is mountainous and covered with
dense forests. When the revolutionists
are closely pressed they take to the
woods. The revolutionists are simply
carrying on a guerrilla warfare. Every
few days l heard of some raid, which
usually consists in destroying a planta :
ton. There is little fighting going on.
mo one ventures to predict when the
war will come to an end. If the insur
rection goes for another year, the sugar
industry will be Frustrated. The admin
istrator of one of the largest plantations
in the Santiago sugar district told me
that it will take the planters four or five
years to recover from the damage
already done. Many plantations not
laid waste by the Instruction
lists have been practically abandoned.
The laborers have fed to the towns, and
the cane is uncut Next season, if the
estate goes uncultivated, the fields will
be over run with weeds and soon become
worthless for producing a crop of sugar.
"In fact, the sugar planters really
bear the brunt of the war. They will
| have to pay enormous taxes, even if the
instruction is put down. At present al
most every planter is threatened with
ruin if he does not contribute money tc
the insurgents cause.
1.-The sugar planters are between the
devil and the deep sea. If they do no.
7 pay large sums of money for protection
! their fields are laid waste. If they ask
| protection they are marked as enemies
of the republic and their property would
| be set on fire or ruined at the first oppor
| tunity."

A j. Lusk, ex-president of the

rested several days ago in Port

city today with United States Marshal
Henry c. Grady of Portland. While Mr..

He is charged with making false en-
tries in the books of the Hutchinson

that institution. He was twice before
arraigned but both times the case
was thrown out of court The Hanover
bank of New York is interested, and it
is thought is responsible for Mr.. Lusk's

HAIRPULLING CERTAIN.

There is Much Talk of Bribery and Quay
People Excited.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 26-Delega tes,
political leader and sightseers from all
over the state are arriving in great num-
bere and the indications are that the re-
publican state convention on Wednesday
will be the largest in point of attendance
ever held in the state. There is much
talk of bribery and the Quay people are
greatly exercised over reported defec-
tons from their ranks.
They appear to be afraid the other
side is investing large sums of money in
this way. On the other hand the admin
istration leaders say Senator Quay's
bribery talk is an evidence of weakness
and an illustration of the hopeless char
acter of his contest 'He is preparing to
explain his downfall after the conven-
ton" said Hastings man.
The administration people are begin
ming to suspect that Senator Quay is not
sincere in his announced intention to
judges appointed by Gov Hastings
without opposition. The presence here
of S. A. Davenport of Erie, Whitworth
of Armstrong, and others mentioned in
connection with the new court leads
them to think that scheme is being
arranged to dump several of the judges.
Elk Magistrate Durham, Quay's first
lieutenant, says the roll of delegates pre-
pared by Chairman Gilkeson, is grossly
unfair as far as Philadelphia is con-
cerned. He declares that it is an unpre-
cedented act for a chairman to make up
a roll before he receives his credentials.
He thinks all the names or none should
have been placed on the roll.

RADIATED HEAT.
That Is the Kind We Get on the
Street Level.

The reason why Thermometers on the
street level show greater heat than the
government thermometers on the Col
umbian building, is because those near
the ground are affected by the
radiation of heat and heated sur
faces. On the Streets near buildings,
and everywhere, in fact, except over
sod, there is certain amount of radi-
ated heat This is what makes the mer-
curry in thermometers on the sides of
buildings shoot up and down with such
rapidity, as the radiation is more or less.
1t is the object of the government instru-
ments to record the condition of the air
without this radiation.
To accomplish this the thermometers
on the roof of the Columbian building
are placed ten feet above the roof The
passage of the breeze beneath over
comes the reflected heat, and thus the
natural temperature is secured.
The nearest to natural temperature
that can be secured is by placing Their
mometers over the sod, as that gives no
radiation. The instruments at Washburn
are SO placed and as these and Mr. Jen-
nings temperature takers run about the
same, the weather observer thinks his
thermometers are absolutely correct.

Chicago MARKEr LETTER.

change, Room 8. Columbian building.
Wheat-Reiteration will have to be the
order in describing the conditions in
wheat at the opening. There was no en-
enlargement from Liverpool, cables
quoting wheat Id lower than Saturday.
The courage of holders oozed from their
fingers ends when these advices were
posted. September closed 6I7s Saturday
and the range at the start today was 81 e
to 6174. For an hour more the price
evinced a liking for this neighbor-
hood, mostly caused by the COW
ering of John Cudahy's brokers.
They bought in a leisurely manner
without affecting prices. in truth they
experienced very little hardship in doing
So The market was in such shape that
the shorts decided to take in some of
their lines. A feature was the inaugu
ration of the September liquidation
which will doubtless continue the entire
week. There was plenty of changing,
selling of September and fair purchases
of December throughout. The trade
had its mind made up to decrease of
100000 bushels in the visible supply.
and when the figures were published at
1906, 900 bushels bears of a timid ma
ture ran the price up from 60M
to 613s. The effect of this decrease
which was probably surprise to the
Board of Trade statisticans, was nullitied
by an increase in the English visible of
exactly two million bushels. Worlds
shipments of 8 million bushels and more
than enough to meet the requirements of
Europe for week, was another argu-
ment why wheat is not worth the money.
Clearances light Another estimate of
166 million bushels for North and South
Dakota and Minnesota, helped to keep
the price down. 1t was narrow, dull
market all day and will not be lifted from
the slough until the outside accumulates
little faith and proceeds to create a spec
ulative interest which there is none now
existing. Cash demand moderate and
export demand of nibbling character.
Corn and oats--Copious rains through
out the west further advancing the crop
prospects seem to cause rather
free selling by the cash element
combined to engender weakness
Receipts were $50 cars and for tomor-
row 800 cars. Withdrawals 275, 900 blu.
Exports fair. Visible increased 1900
bushels. Corn seems destined to sell
lower and should be sold on bulges. Oats
trading was light aud the visible in
creased $4,000 bushels.
Provisions-The main feature today in
hog products was the changing from
| September to October. Cudahy was ap-
parently the only buyer of pork and
| that of course buying in short stuff.
| Some English houses bought January
| pork. 1t looked as if October ribs were
not going to be much account except for
! temporary rallies as many heavy sides
will be left over that no one wants. The
market is we'll evened up and the close
fairly steady.

CHICAGO HEIGHTS VICTIM.
Another Sufferer From the DisreputabIe
SwindIe Comes to Light.

The register Of deeds office receives
many letters containing pitiful stories of
swindle in land deals. Mr.. Brooks sup
posed that all swiudles in regard to the
famous Chicago Heights addition were
over until he received the other day a
sad story from an aged German in Penn
sylvania.
The letter told of his working all his
life as a shoemaker He had a chance
to invest in property to advantage, as he
supposed, and retire from active labor on
the bench to enjoy in his declining years
the fruits of his labor. He bought two
lots in the Heights" and it took all
he had been able to save to pay for
| them.
He seems to have been longer hearing
| of the worthlessness of the property than
the others who were victimized, for only
recently Mr.. Brooks received his pitiful
appeal. The old man has again return
ed to his cobbler's bench to earn his daily
bread Could nothing be done for him?
His was a more bitter disappointment
than the rest of the victims, for Mr..
Brooks found that his lots were not even
together, and consequently of scarcely
any value, even for the land itself.

BLACKS AS LYNCHERS
A Mob of Colored Men at Spring
field, Kentucky,
Take One of Their Own Race
From Jail.
HANGED TO A TREE.
They Break Open the Jail With
Sledge Hammers.
The Victim Had Murdered An
other COlored Man.
TO A TREE.

SPRINGFIELD, KY. Aug. 26.-Shortly
after o'clock this morning a mob COM
posed of about dozen men took Har-
rison Lewis, the negro who murdered
Joe Brooks. also colored last Friday night
from the Jail here and hanged him to
tree in the court house yard. When the
mob reached the Jail they called for jail
or Smith. but his wife informed them
that he was not at home and that he had
the keys to the jail with him. This did
not daunt the mob. however. Going to a
blacksmith shop near by they procured
some sledge hammers and after three
hours work succeeded in battering down
the jail door.
Lewis was found crouching in his cell
and begged piteousiy for his life, but the
leader ordered the men to make quick
work of him. lie was quickly seized,
and after placing rope around his neck,
was dragged to the nearest tree and
strung up without further ceremony.
Tho mob did its work in a quiet, order
ly way and seemed to be thoroughly or
gained 1t is the opinion of many that
it was composed of colored men. After
completing their work the mob quietly
dispersed.
The murder was a dastardly one and
the negroes have been greatly worked
up since its occurance. Friday night
Lewis went to Brooks house and calling
him to tho door. shot him down on his
own threshold without any warning.
Harrison Lewis, the man that was
! lynched, was a brother of Matthew Lewis,
who narrowly escaped lynching here
about two weeks ago for an assault upon
Mrs. Murray Shields. and who was taken
! to LouisvilIs for safe keeping.
