The additions to the State insane
asylum have been commenced, and as
soon as finished many more unfortunates
can be accommodated. For six months
the asylum has been full and no room

John r. Martin states that there has
been raised so far 81, 600 of the necessary
$4,000 to be subscribed by the citizens
of Ocala to guarantee the building Of
the railroad from Ocala direct to Silver
Spring. There seems to be but little
doubt that the road will be built.
Sheriff Perry, of St. Augustine, and
his deputy, N. G. Quigley, are making
an enviable reputation as deer hunters.
Two weeks ago they killed two and the
other day Sheriff Perry killed large
doe at Cowan's Swamp. Deer are plen-
tiful this year, and are being killed all
over the country.
Fine chestnuts are ripening in the
yard of W. L. B. Lawrence in Orlando.
The trees on which the nuts grow are
not more than eight or ten years old.
They have made vigorous growth, and
are apparently in perfect health. If it
IS possible to grow such nuts here no
yard should be without few chestnut
trees.
New corn is offered at 40 cents per
bushel by some of the farmers about
Waldo. 1t is thought by many that it
will go lower than that. Another
party offered to deliver one thousand
bushels of potatoes at 20 cents per
bushel The prices offered for pears
and peaches is so low that many grow
ers are converting them into something
drnkable.
While digging on the premises of
George R. Pons on East Government
street, at Pensacola few days ago, a
workman struck the remains of an old
wooden box, which contained 131 case
knives of curious design, a spoon, a
paddock, and tin box containing 81
pieces of old Spanish money. 1t is
probable that these articles we're
buried during the war, as the
money is so much corroded that It's
value has not been ascertained.
Julius Blue, a Frenchman living at
St.. Cloud, accidently shot and killed
himself last Friday. From reports it
seems he was firm at rabbits and after
firing several times he turned the
pistol up to look in the barrel, when it

chin and going out through the top of
his head Mr.. Blue came to this county
with Mr.. Goblet, a large land owner
near st Cloud.

Temptation.
tFOr THE CHInF.)

To THE EpIToR:--l heard it proclaim.
ed from tho pulpit, recently, that "a man
might be SO tiercely tempted to commit
murder as to require a brave struggle on
his part to resist, and yet come out OF
the conflict sinless."
Now, just how q man could entertain
the thought OF the commission Of 30
foul q crime, until it had become a pur-
pose Of his own, without possessing an
evil mind, is the question. do not
think that every evil thought that Hits
across the path Of the midland 10 as
quickly banished as it csme-is sin.
But, for q man to conceive the thought
Of murder, and entertain that thought
until after a struggle to drive it away,
and yet remain originally pure OF heart,
would be, l think, unscripturai.
In the same discourse it was contend
ed that "somet temptations emanate from
within, while others come from without"
! presume the preacher meant that the
lusts OF the flesh are set in motion only

not that outside influences have the
power to drive men into wrong doing.
Now. 1t a man is living ia harmony with

suggestions a faint his moral char.

good and evil are continually before US,
but the test Of our moral rectitude is
that Of choosing the good and rejecting
the evil.
II. on the other hand, temptations can
be, through some unseen outside power,
thrust upon us, until they become a part
OF our purposes, without our consent, and
wholly against our wills, then indeed

which is higher than it was for many
years at this time; winter wheat's ia 65.s

ure for winter wheat, offset by the high

aggregate wheat yield from 10000 Coo

such forecasts. For these reasons
agriculture is damaged By the weath.
er bureau forecasts, in that they give
the Spectator advantage over the
farmer.
Long range forecasts give equal op.
portunit,es to all, and to secure and
protect equal opportunities is the
the principal object Of government.
With good weather records the flu.
ture Of the weather can be calculated.
Where we have the best records l
have the best success in forecasting
the weather.
The records at San Antooio and
Austin, Texas, are deficient, and to
this l attribute M partial failure as
to rainfall in southwestern Texas.
Our best records are at Philadelphia,
Portsmouth, Ohio, Cincinnati, Colum.
bus, ST.. Louis and Leavenworth.
Our new chief, Mr.. Moore, will also
err if he fails to continue the work Of
Prof. Bigelow, for in bis work lies the
only hope that the weather bureau
will ever be able to make long rasge
forecasts.
In connection with rainfall, drouth
aud crops, there are a few we'll estsb.
lished facts that may be received as
axioms or general rules. and, by the
observance Of these axioms, the farm.
er, dealer and Spectator maybe
greatly benefited. Tersely 9t.J
these axiOms are: :
l.. About the amount of rain falls
ia the United States, Mexico and
Canada every year, but seldom the
same amount in the same place for
two successive years.
2. Excessive rains in the central
part Of the great central valleys-St.
Louis, Toledo, Chicago-cause drouth
in the east OF Rockies arid districts
and the southeastern states.
3. A drouth in the same portions
Of the central valleys is accompanied
by excessive rains all around the
drouth district.
4. Excessive rains 10 the east gulf
and south Atlantic states are accom-.
panied by a diagonal drouth belt, OK
tending from northern New York to
southwestern Texas.
B.. Good crops seldom occur in the
Ohio and upper Mississippi valleys
when the crops are good in the east Of
Rockies arid DISTRICTS; the reverse of
this is also true.
6. Weather conditions and crops
are similar in the east gulf states and
the Dakotas; on north Atlantic and
north Pacific %coasts; west gulf states,
east OF Rockies arid districts, and the
south Pacific coast.
The above rules are not infallible,
but are SO reliable that to foreknew
many others, and when my system is
completed the farmer will know when
and where to SOW and plant in order
to catch favorable crop condition ia
the succeeding years.

WOES OF AN EX-JAILER.
INDICTMENTS AGAINST BROWN OF
SAN BERNARDINO.
The Local Grand Jury Accuses Him of
Various Grimes and Misde-
msanors.

Special to THE HERALD
SAN BERNARDINo, Jan. 25.--Brown,
the county jailer, who was recently
indicted by the United States grand
jury at Los Angeles for allowing federal
prisoners TO escape, WAS today arrested
here, having been indicted on four
counts by the local grand jury, and
bench warrants were at once issued for
his arrest. Two Of the indictments are
for felony. and Brown is accused OF
allowing two county prisoners to escape
one IN January. 1898, and the other I'M
September, 1894. The other charges are
misdemeanor offsnses, in one Of which
he is accused of appropriating
$3.50 belonging to prisoner
in his custody, he thus having the
money in his possession as jailer. The
fourth indictment nss nothing to do
with his administration of affairs at the
county jail. Brown is charged with
pswning a diamond shirt stud which
did not belong to him, and consequently
with swindling the pawnbroker out of
$50 which he borrowed.
Bonds were fixed by the court at $500
each for felony and $500 each for the
misdemeanor counts. $4,000 in all, and
later in the day Brown gave bonds and
is now at liberty.
