The Novel Industry That Has Its Head
quarters at Jacksonville, Fla.
Florida has a new and remarkable
industry, the artificial propagation of
alligators. For supplying the trade in
Florida curiosities there is large de-
mand for young reptiles of this kind
In Jacksonville, which is the center of
the traffic, from 5000 to 10000 ALI
gators are sold to tourists annually
nearly all of them baby ones. The
latter are collected by professional
hunters, who receive for them from $40
to $25 hundred. Some Of them are
disposed of alive at retail, but many are
stuffed An infant alligator stuffed is
worth % cents more than "a live one.
Saurians 6 to 10 feet long fetch $12
to $25.
The difficulty Of securing young ALI
gators in sufficient numbers has led to
the establishment of this strange bust
ness. To find the nests of these reptiles
is comparatively easy, and the eggs are
shipped in bulk by the hunters tc
Jacksonville. In that city there are IL
dealers in alligators, the best known Of
them being man who has earned the
sobriquet Of Alligator Davis New
York World.

WANTS INFORMATION.

County Attorney Benedict has
written to Gov. Clough for informa.
tion as to the grounds upon which he
pardoned VIM. Powers, who was con.
Victed after much trouble of running
a blind pig at Amboy. 1t appears
that the first that Mr.. Benedict knew
that such move was on foot was
after the pardon had been granted
and Powers released. Mr.. Benedict
told the governor in his letter that he
would not have signed the petition
had it been presented to him.

The Republic Entering Upon Remarka-
BILE Era of Construction.
A published review of the recent rail
way projects and new concessions says
that the country is entering upon an
active era of railway construction SINH
lar to that which began IA years ago,
when Mexico was exceedingly prosper
ous.
The Mexican Central will build a
direct line to Tampico, giving the City
of Mexico a short line to the best gulf
PORTS Coils P. Huntington has
planned to build his line to Mazatlan
by route farther north than he first
contemplated, and the government has
assurances from him that he means bus
mess.
Hampson will push his Cuernavaca
road down to that tropical city, and ex-
poets to get there in eight months.
Dalfn Sanchez telegraphs from London
that he has assurances of obtaining the
capital needed to extend the Interoceanic
road to Acapulco.
Another important line is announced
from the Tehuantepec road to a point
ON the San Juan river, in the state OF
Vera Cruz, whence the river is naviga-
BILE.
The department of communications
is full of business and the authorities
say that all the new railway projects
are in the hands of responsible capital
lists and will be realized.
The government is also giving great
attention to plans for inland waterways,
especially canals. A project for very
extensive canal on the west coast will
be made public in a few days.
, Waits Industrial railway continues
to attract attention and will solve sew
eral interesting problems. Street car
lines are being pushed forward, and
when electric power is made feasible
there will be a broad field for their
operation. New York Journal

AN HAT.
A Forgetful Preacher Did Not Remove
the Wrapping Paper.

oAO Tapping AdPCIs
A distinguished preacher of some
what arbitrary manners was engaged
to preach in Belgravia, and purchased
a new hat for the occasion, says Pear
sons Weekly. He was met outside his
residence by a young man who was to
guide him to the church. His guide,
after what the parson thought a rude
stare and smile, said: 81 beg your par
don, sir, but your hat"
"Oh, yes! never mind the hat, but
mind your own business" the parson
interrupted CURLY; and the young man
was silenced. The people they met
stared and smiled too.
"Strange how many people notice
when one has got a new hat" thought
the parson. The church wa reached
and the worshipers approaching natu-
rally turned to observe the noted
preacher.
The vicar met him at the vestry door
to welcome him, but, hesitating, said:
pardon me, canon, but pray, why do
you your hat SOP"
The tile was DOTTED and the outside
found to be still covered with white
paper which the absent-minded divine
had not removed.

The Newly-Rich,

Wealth and ignorance sometimes go
hand in hand. To a jewelry store in a
small town there drove up one day a
handsomely dressed lady, who entered,
and, after some preliminary %iourishes,
asked for a dozen souvenir spoons. "a
dozen souvenir spoons?' repeated the
clerk, in natural surprise. EYES," re-
piled the lady, placidly, "a dozen SOU
venir spoons-to eat souvenirs with,
you know. My daughter makes beau
tiful souvenirs" The clerk turned
pale, and exhibited a tray of orange
spoons, on a venture. She selected a
dozen and carried them away, and the
clerk is still wondering what she really
wanted.

State VS.. Sam McCormic.

Justice Cooper was busy for two days
OF last week in the trial OF the case of
the State va. Sam McCormic, the whole
lower end OF Custer county were in at
tendance on the trial and after all the
evidance was n the Court dismissed the
defendant and it seems to us on very
good grounds. The Court did not enter
INTO the question of the ownership Of
the steer in dispute, but simply held
that the evidence showed that there was
a dispute as to the ownership of the
steer at the roundup;in which McCormic-
claimed it and McCrearilean also claimed
it. This being true 1T could not be Grim
inal on the part Of either to take the
animal and that a civil suit would have
been the proper proceeding to try title
to the animal in dispute.
Again the tax payers pay the must
clan.

DUEL Between Cowboys.
Independent.

Word reached the city Tuesday of a
shooting ARRAY which occurred at the
Hash Knife cattle ranch about seventy
miles north Of Belle Fourche on Monday.
The principals in the affair were two
COW boys, Texas Kid" and Y. C. Den
nings. Both men are wounded by pistol
shots and are now under the doctors
care at Belle Fourche. 1t seems that
the ROY started at the breakfast table
where the men quarreled over some
trifing matter, but as. usual with COW
boys, the matter did not stop there but
was renewed later while saddiing their
horses in the ~corrall. Hot words passed
between them when guns were drawn
and a fusillade ensued in which Den
nings was shot three times in the bowels
and the "Kid" one in the thigh. The
men would probably have killed one an
other only for the arrival OF their COM
panions whe lnterfered and prevented
further firing. A messenger was at once
dispatched to Belle Four.he for a doc
ool OuO lily dlltI HIS departure III
was decided to take the men there
where they could be cared for. The doc
tor was met on the road but returned
to town with the injured men. The
injured COW boys are now being taken
care OF at that PLACE. Dennings'
wounds are reported to be quite serious,
yet not necessarily fatal, while the kid"
will be all right in a short time.
