The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1895-08-06

The county commissioners met
yesterday with a full attendance.
The principal business before the
board was the awarding of the de-
,linquent tax list to one of the pa
pers. The newspapers of the
county all entered the contest
with the exception of the Marion
Times and the Belleview paper.
All of the board being democrats,
and the Banner the paper that has
had the work heretofore, having
no politics, it was expected by
many that one of the papers
known to be democratic would be
the one selected for the printing of
the delinquent tax list for 1894.
But it seems that the board had
forgotten how the Banner worked
against them. They have forgot
ten the true old Jefersonian dem,
ocracy, and will favor those papers
who don't know themselves where
they stand. 1t is not justice for
one paper to have tais printing
from year to year, which amounts
to from $1,000 to $1,000 per year.
One thing gets monotonous after
so long, and should have change
occasionally. In time the Banner
will become married to this Job,
and then could not get along
without it. There was very little
other business before the board,
and the entire business, was fin
ished yesterday.

LET US EXHIBIT.

What are Ocala and Marion

exposition? Several other sections

have credible displays of their re-

We know of no effort so far be-

in Business and Social
Circles

Wausau, Wis, Nov. 20.-[Special.l-
Nathaniel B. Eldred, captain of the
Wausau Light guard and manager of a
branch house of the Armour Packing
company, committed suicide last night by
shooting. Cashier Sam Kreide left the
Office at $50 o'clock last evening, Ell
dred remaining there, stating that he
would sleep on cot and asking to be
let sleep as long as possible in the morn
ing. Kreide consequently got around
at : O'Clock this morning, an hour later
than usual. He found Eldred stretched
head. Removing the coat he found a
pool of blood about the head. A revolver
of 38-caliber was in the right hand be-
side the head and there was bullet hole
under the right ear Physicians sum-
moned said the man must have been dead
about ten hours.
Eldred was about % years old and for
several years had been bookkeeper for
the Armour company. He was made
manager August %. So far as the book
keeper knows the accounts are all right
and always have been. Eldred was a
sufferer from rheumat ism and kidney
trouble and this worried him at times.
lie had severe attack of rheumatism
in November, and took over dozen
grains of morphine. Physicians worked
on him half day before he recovered
consciousness. That he then intended to
commit suicide is now generally believed.
Eldred was a bright young man, an
excellent soldier and officer and ten
years ago was a student at the state
university. He was the Oldest son of
Charles Eldred, ex-district attorney. The
reason for his rash act is a mystery to

Gossip About the Air Line from Superior
to Chicago.


Madison, Wis, Nov. 21.I[Special.l-
According to eX-Attorney-GeneralO 'Con-
nor, who is one of the ncorporators of
the recently organized Duluth. West SUI
periOr q Chicago Railway company, a
new air line from Superior to Chicago
is an assured thing. He declines to
state who is furnishing the capital for
the enterprise, though he says it is sup
piled by New York and Chicago parties.
There is reason to believe that the Ca
madam Pacific, which, it has been ru-
mored, has been seeking an inlet to Chi
cago is behind the deal
In an interview Mr.. O'Connor says:
"The route for the road has been selected
and small portion has been built, while
the contract has been let for another
large section. The southern division of
the line will start at Cambridge Dane
county, and will run thence southeast,
through London, Fort Atkinson, White
water, Elkhorn and Lake Geneva to Chi
cago. The line between Cambridge and
London is now complete, even the rails
being laid, while the contract has been
let to Slattery & Walsh of Chicago, who
built the Mexican Central railway for
the portion of the road between London
and Lake Geneva. The contract will
also be let for the line between that city
and Chicago. To the north, the road will
run to Portage, where it will connect
with the original Wisconsin Genital line,
which will be followed to Stevens Point,
from which place, for the present, the
northern end of the Wisconsin Central
E0ad will be utilized to both ST. Paul and
Minneapolis and Duluth and West SUI
perIor. The proposed route is thirty two
miles shorter than any present line be-
tween Chicago and Minneapolis and ST.
Paul, and also shorter than any existing
line between the Lake Superior cities
and Chicago. From Cambridge south, it
pierces a rich dairy country that has al
ways suffered for direct line to Chi
