A Suicide at PlankInton.

The Plankinton papers of last week
give the details of a suicide which oc-
Cured there on the Sth inst. G.
Smith, barber, with cool deliberation
went into his shop and in few mo-
ments the report of gun was heard
on the streets. Several citizens ran
into the shop and in the rear room
they discovered the unfortunate man
lying on the floor with blood streaming
from terrible wound in his head, the
shot literally tearing away nearly the
entire left side of his face. He left NO
word to his wife or friends as to why
he committed the deed, but it is stated
by the Plankinton papers that Smith
was strongly addicted to drinking and
that he had become despondent and
tired of life, and consequently put an
end to his existence.

from going deeper into several ques-
tions but the condition of the atmos-
phere prevented it. His speech was
one which appealed to the patriotic in
stincts of the audience which was in
good harmony with the speakers
thoughts.
The pop managers went to the
needless expense of printing a portion
of Mr.. Nye's address delivered in Min
neapolis and passed the bills around af-
ter the meeting closed, but it had little
or no effect in changing the good re-
suits of the meeting. In that speech
distributed Mr.. Nye was quoted as say
ing: "Ishall at all times publicly and
privately adhere to the principles
which I now proclaim until some one
shall convince me of my error" Mr..
Nye has become convinced of his error
as has many another man who has Civ
en- the subject the proper study. The
gentleman is a magnificent speaker in
every respect and the lofty sentiments
he expressed found lodging place
within tn" neart Of every citizen. Mr..
Nye departed for Howard Saturday

en- hearing on the complaint sworn to
by w. H. Bloss charging him with
breaking into his shop. Messrs. Bloss,
Cook, Brooks and Daniels were put on
the stand and their testimony was
practically the same as the incidents
related in yesterdays paper.
The prisoner was placed on the stand
and explained the cutting of his finger
on his right hand. John said mat his
son was assisting him to carry a stove
nto the rear of the store and his hand
was pinched between the stove and the
door, that he left his store and went
home through back way, entering
east First street by W. E. Lofts black
smith shop, but the drops of blood were
not in evidence until Bloss's carpenter
shop was reached from which place the
trail led up to Havlatko's house. John
could not explain the broken stove
door found secreted in his house and
which just fitted a stove in Bloss's shop.
Charles Havlatko, his son, corroborat-
ed some of the testimony, although he
was mixed up on the hour and which
hand his father cut.
Judge Abby considered the evidence
was sufficient to hold Havlatko over to
the circuit court and was placed under
5000 bonds. The other matters in the
case, the finding of all the other stuff,
was not touched upon at this time.

A Defective Causes q Small Confiagration
Northeast of Town Today.
1t is not very pleasant thing to be
burned out of house and home just at
the approach of winter, but such was
the situation which confronted Dr.. Sam
uel Moore and family at an early hour
Tuesday morning. The family live in
small but comfortable house about
one mile northwest Of the city. Char
lie Moore was the first of the family to
arise and went into the kitchen to
build fire and then went to the barn
to feed and harness his horses prepara-
tory to trip into the country. Look
ing out of the barn door toward the
house he saw smoke and flames issuing
from the roof of the kitchen, which
had their origin from the probably
over heated stove and caught from the
stove pipe going up through the roof.
1t was six o'clock when the fire started
and in 20 minutes the building was but
heap of ashes. DR.. Moore and wife at
the first alarm managed to remove
some of their household goods but
many we're consumed in the flames.
Several neighbors came over to render
some assistance but the fire was beyond
control. An alarm was turned in at the
water works but there was no response,
owing to the fire being SO far away
from the hydrant. Chas. Moore had q
pair of pants consumed in the fire
which contained SIS in paper money.
The amount of insurance was 5000 on
the house and goods.

IDENTIFIED THE FUR COATS.

Some of the Havlatko Findings Wore
Stolen at Villas One Year Ago.
Among the goods found at the Hav-
latko residence were three fur wombat
coats and year ago Sheriff Cook re-
ce;ved a postal card notice from Villas
that three coats had been stolen there.
A. Howry was sent word at Villas that
his goods were here and he arrived
over the Omaha Monday and Tuesday
identified his fur overcoats. Some per-
son stole the coats at that time and
very probably sold them to Havlatko.
John claims to have bought the coats
two years ago, but his wife says that lie
got them one year ago. The coats
we're turned over to Mr.. Howry and he
went back to Vi.as at noon.
The rest of the goods have not been
identified as yet and are being held at
the court house.

In Court Once More.

About the last of the Havlatko mat
ters were finished up Tuesday when the
entire family were up before Judge
Abbey, the hearing commencing at
2:30 o'clock. They are charged with
having entered the Mitchell Dry Goods
Co.'S store on the night of Oct. 7th and
stolen a quantity of goods. Up to q
late hour the hearing had not been
concluded. Havlatko and his son,
Charles, were held to the circuit court
in bonds of 5000. The rest of the FAM
lily were discharged.

How to Grow Peanuts.

Peanuts should be planted in we'll
pulverized soil to depth Of four inches.
The distance between the rows should
be from % to 36 inches, varying with
the fertility of the soil and the variety.
Fertilizers should be applied broadcast
before planting, but they may be applied
in the rows and at the time of planting.
Carefully shelled and selected kernels
should be used for seed. The seeds
should be planted from IL to 20 inches
apart, two to the hill, and covered about
an inch deep, either with hoe or
small turn pillow. All grass and weeds
must be kept out of the field, and the
soil kept loose and open, that the tender
"spikes'' may meet with no resistance
in penetrating the ground. Experiment
hasnot shown any definite result favor
ing either the ridge or level culture, and
the nature of the field selected for it
will be the best guide as to the method
to be adopted. The crop should be laid
by in July, or as soon as the vines have
spread sufficiently to keep down the
weeds, or to make the passage of the
harrow between the rows dangerous to
the developing pods.
In harvesting the crop, the practice is
to pass down each side Of the row with
a plow, made especially for the purpose,

About Tobacco.

One OF the leading planters, on being
asked for conservative statement as to
pro6ts OF growing cigar tobacco in
lorida, said: ""Those of our farmers
who have followed up this industry have
gained an experience in the cultivation
ma handlng of the product which yields
them Yearly increasing profit and
there is a vast mine of wealth awaiting
who will come in and avail themselves
Of its calcplable possibilities. Eight or
nine months in the year, in the first
place, are afforded for growing and the
housing of the different crops, and two
should be cut from the same planting,
at least; worms are not so troublesome
as in other sections; there is no danger
of injury from hail or frost; expensive
barns are not required for curing; no
heating or drying, or moistenlng appara
tus, the climate being peculiarly favor
able to perfect curing by natural process,
as also to handling and manipulating
throughout, from the field to the factory.

ida tobacco is now largely used in some
of the first factories of New York 10 take
the place of the more expensive Sumat
ran and Cuban articles, to the latter of
which it is equal in quality as filler and

where acknowledged and sustained, as
we'll as here stated-and the demand for
which outstrips the supply. The yield
in this country is G0U to 1000 pounds per
acre, worth from % cents up, or from
5000 to $500 per acre. Some of our most
successful growers say that $50 per acre
will cover The whole cost of production,
while others place it between that figure
and $50, while fertilizer is used with
moderate liberality and most of the la
Dor is hired. Some OF our best crops are
safe now to count on $3.50 to $500 per
acre profit, which will increase as the
article is better handled and becomes es-
tablished in the market. Nearly all our
lands are suitable to it's production, and
we want experienced growers to take
hold of it in earnest
This Is calm and conservative state
ment of the case, and will be borne out
by actual test.-Industrial Florida.

Guava Jelly.

Guava Jelly.
A Miami correspondent of the Citizen
writes: capt. A. r Simmons of Cocoa
nut Grove has manufactured justa ton Of
guava jelly this summer and fall for
Mr.. Flagler for use in the Royal Pom
ciana. Several competitors were in the
field for the order, but Captain Sim
mons samples and prices captured the
prize, and he straightway marshaled
his forces and set to work. The task
has been completed, and the jelly is
pronounced by competent judges the
best that has ever been made in this
district. Only pure guava juice and the
besG granulated sugar compose the in
gradients, and the fruit used was
selected from four groves on the bay,
those of Messrs. Truitt and Tiller of
Lemon City, and of Mrs. Tutter at
Miami.
1.-The guava crop was large, nd a
quantity of fruit was marketed here
from the keys, but Captain ST. mons
used none of it, as another jelly manu-.
facturer in this district Increased the
price established by Captain Simmons,
thus getting considerable fruit THAI had
been promised the latter. This did not
affect the industry, however. and the
big cargo of some hundred dozens Of
glass jars has been shipped to it's DIES
tlnation, and will delight the palates of
travelling gourmets at Lake Worth dur
ing the current season.
"This enterprise of Captain Simmons,
coupled with that of his rival, has given
an impetus to the guava industry in this
portion of the State. The acreage has
been largely increased over that Of all
preceding years, both on the mainland
and on the keys, and within the next
two years the Biscayne Bay country
will be the most famous guava-produc-
ing district in the world, not even ex
cepting the West Indies, where the tree
grows wild and the fruit is preserved in
many ways.
1.-THE famous guava paste Of Cuba
has been introduced here, and has been
in limited quantities, but
as it becomes more widely known, and
it's merits as an edible culinary adjunct
more fully appreciated the demand will
increase and the business pay.
"Dried guavas, prepared after the
manner of the dried fig Of commerce,
and favorite sweet with the Mexicans,
have been found delicious by expert
in this neighborhood.
The future of the guava is con-
sidered here as promising as that of the
pineapple, the truck garden, or the
canal land grapes. Countless methods
of preservation are known-preserves,
pickles, sirrup, Jelly, canned, and mar
mSlade are now the most popular with
growers. The white and strawberry
are most common, and the Cat
ley reaches high degree of excellence.
