rtlE RUEEER TREE.
Ia indigenous to Florida and Grows II
I%rofusiop In tho soutb.

'' Nv 'htb
Those familiar with the southern
portion OF Florida are aware of the fact
that the rubber tree is indigenous here
and grows in great profusion on both
coasts south Of a line drawn west from
New Smyrna, says the FLORIDA Citizen.
Many large trees grow on the east
coast, there being two ~wcll-known
monarchs, one at Or. WittGehl's place,
about six miles south of Rockledgo,
and another on Will L~aneheart's place
az Lake Worth. To the rata count
less numbers Of immense rubber trees
are known, but as their usefulness
has not yet been developed here they
are very little noticed.
on the west coast the tIcos are abund-
antIy prominent and are an open bid
FOR the people Of our state to investi-
gate their value. At this time. when
the people are looking for new avenues
in natural products Of the soil to re-
place the orange culture, IL would be
reasonable to suppose that they would
utilize the wild rubber tree. on any Of
the keys along the coast one could find
a rubber plantation or estate in an adj
vanced stage of growth.
At Anna Maria Key, at the entrance
TO the harbor. Col. John Il. Jones has
a place upon which is one of these trees
with i've separate trunks. similar to
a banyan tree. The largest trunk Is
eleven feet in circumference; the others
measure twenty-eight. twenty-soven,
ana eighteen inches respectively.
When the tops Of these trees become
too spreading they send down a sucker,
which takes root and assists in the
support of the branches. Such a tree
as mentioned above overs a large area
and would afford rood revenue we're
its great flow Of sap utilized.
Col. Jones, on April Il. 1895. planted
a little rubber nursing eighteen inches
in height. On Feb. Il. 1896 that tree
five feet zen inches high. showing
with what rapidity they grow in their
wild state, without any cultivation.

GREENTOWN ALIVE.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Addressed
by Gen. Sherwood and II.
Il. Barnes.

One Of the most interesting and en-
thusiastic meetings of thu campaign was
held on Monday night at Greentown.
General 1. r. Sherwood and DR.. H. II.
Barnes were the speakers. Although the
night was dark and rainy, at an early
hour the old school-house at the south
end Of town was comfortably filled with
respectful and attentive audience.
After the speeches, which were well re-
ceievd, opportunity was extended to any
ore present to ask questions, which was
taken advantage of by the audience. The
answers and comments were well re-
ceived.
Greentown is alive to the issues of the
campaign. Although the hoodlums Of
the gold bugs at the dead Of night bored
with augurs the magnificent pole erected
by the silver men so that 1t fell, yet the
friends Of silver were not dismayed, but
remembered that the gold bugs have
always done their dirty work in the dark,
and nothing better could be expected
from them. The silver forces OF Lake
township, of which Greentown precinct
is part, propose showing to the balance
of the county that they will openly COM
bat the dirty work of the gold bug hood
lums by bringing the largest vote to
Bryan in proportion to the population Of
any township in the county.

HOW MRS. HUNT.DlED
Mrs. Wegener Is Formally Charged
With Having Performed
Criminal Operation.

Mrs. Wegener, 419 Eddy street, was de-
famed at the Central station yesterday on
a charge of. having performed an opera
ton on Mrs. George f. Hunt, which
finally resulted in that lady's death. Mrs.
Hunt passed away at her residence, 5l1
Turk street, October %. Just prior to her
death she told DR.. Stone thar her illness
was due to an operation performed by
Mrs. Wegener.
AT an inquest held yesterday the jury
returned verdict that Mrs. Hunt had
come to her death as the result of an
operation performed by parties unknown.
This was not in accordance with the evil
dence presented as viewed by Coroner
Hawkins and he Immediately ordered
Mrs. Wegener placed under arrest.
DIR. Stone was the first witness called.
He said he had been summoned to attend
Mrs. Hunt and was not long in discover
ing her true. condition. The witness said
that he refused to continue in the case
unless given the name Of the party who
had performed the operation. Mrs. Hunt
at first refused TO do this, but later said it
was Mrs. Wegener. DR.. TAYLOR, who also
attended Mrs. Hunt corroborated this tes-
timony. Mrs. Wegener was then called.
She denied knowing the deceased or that
she had ever called upon or attended her
in any way.
After few moments deliberation the
jury returned the following verdict: 1.-The
crime was committed by person to the
jury unknown" Thiswas not satisfactory
10 the Coroner, who ordered the woman
taken 10 the City Prison, where she was
charged with the crime.
