A LONG FELT WANT.
Marion County Cotton Growers
ubilant.

The establishment of the firm of
George Giles & Co., cotton deal
ers, brings about a new era in the
life of the cotton growers of our
county. For number of years
we have grown considerable cot
ton. but on account of having no
place to gin the same, it was
shipped elsewhere, and those
places derived the benefit which
should have been ours from labor.
This firm has completed it's build
ings. The main building is 3ox6o
and three stories high. They have
also put in a part of the machine
ry. This firm contemplates doing
a very extensive business and also
bringing about much better prices
for cotton. We understand that a
large European cotton dealer is
connected with the firm, who in
sures a ready sale for every pound
of cotton raised in our county.
May success attend this firm,
for these are the kind Of enter
priscs that Ocala needs

The HOUSE.
by Large Majority the Rebate Section
of the Alcohol Bill Passes

BY u Large Majority the Rebate Section
of the Alcohol Bill Passes
Washington. May 26-The house to-
day. by vote of 65 to SO, passed the
bill for the yepeal of the section of the
present tariff law. providing for a re-
be- vG slcohol used in the arts or
medicinal compounds. An amendment
was attached to the bill providing Sor
a joint commission to consist of three
members from each house 20 examine
and report on all questions relating
to free alcohol at the next session.
Opposition to the measure came al
most entirely from eastern and New
England states. A count of votes
show that 56 democrats, l04 repubn-
cans and five populists voted for the
bill. and so republicans and nine dem
ocrats against the bill. The senate
amendment to the general deficiency
bill. excepting the French spoliation
claims and claims under the Bowman
act. were disagreed TO and the bill sent
to conference.
Dolliver, republican Iowa, spoke in
favor of the alcohol bill He ridiculed
the idea of attempting republican leg
islation against opposition. the Inert
populistic mass In the senate and the
inert free trade mass in the white
house" Dolliver then drifted into poll
itics and paid his respects TO ex-Gover-
nor Horace Boies of Iowa. who. he
said. looking in vain through the dust
and cobwebs Of his country law Office
for the republican nomination. Joined
the anti-prohibition element in Iowa
and carried the democratic party to
victory. With cutting satire he char
acterized Boies with tiring OF the con-
temptation Of the legal status Of the
town pump and turning his attention
TO broader fields. He told Of a dinner
at the New York reform club in 1891.
at which Cleveland. Carlisle and Boies
were present and at which the latter
delivered a high tribute to the prosper
ity OF the country under the Mckinley
law. He eulog.zed the splendid leader

law had been enacted and described

HE'S BADLY WANTED
SALT LAKE PEOPLE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE HERMANN.
His Former Church Stands as a Mark of
shame, and the Congregation Wants
1t Razed to the Ground.

Salt Lake, May 26.-No positive infor-
nation has yet reached officials here as
to the whereabouts of Rev. Francis
Hermans, although the police Depart
Hermanns, although the police depart
ment has been on the alert for the past
four days for some clew that would as
sist in locating him. The associated
press dispatch to-day saying that the
pastor was seen in Chicago last Satur-
day, was eagerly read by officials in the
hope that further information would
develop. Rev Mr.. Mork says Hermanns
has many friends in Chicago, but they
reside in the western part of the city,
and not in the vicinity of Stony Island
avenue. 1t is believed IL Hermanns was
innocent of the appalling crime with
which he is charged. he would certainly
telegraph his friends in this city to
that effect.
officers now assert openly that never
before have they been able to forge so
complete and strong a chain of circum-
stantial evidence in any case of great
concern as I'm this. They are now d.
recting their efforts to discover what
became of Annie X. Samuelson. The
disappearance of her trunk and the
purchase of a large wooden box by the
minister a few days before her disap-
pearance lead to the theory that she
did not share the probable fate OF her
friend. Henrietta Clausen. Some time
ago Hermanns presented to the wife of
Rev. Mr.. Mork a package of handker-
chiefs, which. he said. formerly belong
ed to his wife. One OF the handker-
chiefs bore the initials "A. X S."
which are the initials of Miss Samuel
son.
The entrance to the now notorious lit
tie church still bears on the front door
the metal plate with the name REV.
Francis Hermanns." The parishioners
are making a demand for it's removal.
and ii is doubtful IL the building ever
again will be used for worship. Some
members claim the building should be
razed 10 the ground. as the city cannot
afford TO have IL pointed out 20 strang-
ers as an Emanuel church. within the
walls OF which scenes fully as bad as

Missoula. May 26.-Charles Carter has
confessed to the killing OF Richard Scott.
for which the coroner's jury yesterday
held him responsible. This forenoon he
sent for County Attorney Dixon and told
him the stery OF the affair. as he said he
wanted to tell the truth OF the matter
and get II OF his mind. The county at
torney made him no promises and the
confession was voluntary on his part. 1t
Is probable that some of his friends ad-
vised him TO make a clean breast OF the
affair in the hope of securing the Glenn
ency OF the court.
Early this morning an Information was
filed against Carter charging him with
the murder of Scott, and he was srraign-
ed at the opening of court. He had no
attorney and no means OF securing one,
so the court appointed +. Il. Prince 10 de-
fend him and he was granted time to
plead. 1t was after his arraignment that
he sent for the county attorney. His
story was the same as the account that
the Standard gave of the affair this
morning. lie said that when he went out
of the room he determined TO break up
the party and that he fired through the
window simply to frighten the crowd and
stampede the guests. The window shade
was drawn and he could not see any OF
the occupants of the room. He says that
he had no intention OF hitting any one
and that all he wanted TO do was 10
scare them. When asked why he wanted
10 break up the party he said that the
woman who was entertaining him and
his friends was his girl. and that he had
been trying 10 get her TO go to bed for
an hour or more. She had refused and
would not go until the party broke up.

IT HAS NO BOUNDARY
A Valuable Mining District Between
Montana and Idaho.
ON THE CANADIAN BORDER
Governor Mcconnell Says to Cow
ernor Rickards Something
should Be Done to Deter
mine Jurisdiction.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, May Ex-Governor Rickards
received to-day a letter from Governor
w. j. Mcconnell of Idaho, regarding
the location OF the boundary line be-
tween the two states south OF the Cam
adian line. He wishes the governor to
cooperate In determining the line, as
there Is urgent need of action. Cover
nor Mcconnell writes:
Boise City, May %.
Dear Governor: TT seems there is a
dispute between the states OF Montana
and Idaho bordering on the British
Columbia line where the boundary be-
tween the states has not been establish
ed. 1t Will be necessary 10 run a line
from the Boise meridian to the 3eth
parallel and then down some Is to 25
miles. so as to determine where the
Moyea Mining company rs: whether in
your state of Montana or in the state
of Idaho. 1t is located on Yahk river.
1t is important that this should be done
al once, so as to establish Jurisdiction.
There was a shooting scrape there
few days since, and the sheriff of
Kootenai county has been called upon
TO make arrests. The moment the par
ty Is arraigned the question of turisdic-
tion will be raised. and the chances
are very favorable for the criminal to
escape. / understand there are some
very valuable mines I'm that locality,
and town has been located named
Silvanite which has already a popula-
tion of $50. 1 also learn there are about
300 men prospecting and mining in the
district From all information I can
get, this new mining camp is liable to
prove a valuable one.
Now, write to ask IL you will join
with the state of Idaho in locating the
boundary. We have a state engineer
and he was fortunately the man who
ran the Boise meridian through to the
British Columbia line. The expense
will be trifling. but for the sake OF es-
tablishing Jurisdiction II would be best
for both states TO unite in locating. the
expense incident to this. and in fact
the work should properly be done by
the general government. but that al
ways means considerable delay, and
under the present conditions I believe
no delay should be had.
kindly advise me whether you will
unite with us. We have no appropria-
tion nor has our legislature passed
any law authorizing such a location.
but intend to take the matter up and
locate II anyway certifying the account
up to the legislature"
Governor Richards says that the line
should be located at once. but Mon
tana has no appropriation available for
the work. The governor in his first
message to the legislature recommend
ed that action be taken TO bring the
matter before congress.
