Smuggling Whisky Into Alaska.

smuggling WHISKY 1ACO nAdoho'
News comes from Alaska that liquor
of doubtful quality is being struggled
into that territory in large quantities.
The shipment of liquor there is unlaw
full except where special permits are
granted, but many saloons receive
fresh consignments by every steamer,
though liquor is never entered on the
steamers manifest. The latest ruse for
getting quantities of whisky into the
interior is to take it through Alaska in
bond for British territory beyond.
Being prohibited there bond is given
British customs officers to take it out
in specified time. Means are found
for the taking of it across the line into
Alaska to come point not watched by
American officers. It is asserted that
in this way 1900 gallons of high proof
spirits were distributed among Yukon
mining camps last season. By diluting
the quantity was increased to 2,400
gallons, which sold for 1925 per gallon,
netting profit to the smugglers Of
$45, 1000. Similar, though smaller ship.
ments, are being made this year.

one year ago. The sheriff having
heard that he was working on Mr..

field for fully three miles, The negro
had start of seventy.five yards, and
maintained that distance between him

The sheriff, realizing that he was losing
his man, shot at him three times, the
third shot taking effect in his arm.
This seemed to give renewed vigor to
Jackson, and he finally succeeded in

Resignation Withdrawn.

Upon the urgent solicitatation
of his friends both in and out of
the company, G. V. Roberts, the
popular second lieutenant of the
Ocala Rifles, has been induced to
reconsider and finally withdraw
his resignation, and it was with
pleasure that this fact was wired

There is not a member of the

have profited by the acceptance
of the resignation, but that is
most heartily pleased that Mr..
Roberts will continue with the
company. He is a perfect gen.
tleman, a sincere and true friend
to the company and an exemplary
soldier.

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to
know that the very best medicine
for restoring the tired out ner-
vous system to a healthy vigor
is Electric Bitters. This medi-
cine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres
in the stomach. gently stimulates
the Liver and Kidneys, and aids
these organs in throwing off inn
purities in the blood. Electric
Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced
by those who have tried it as the
very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or

Cyclers Will Parade.

The Ocala Cycle club held a
special meeting at the office of F.
E. Bugbee yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of considering
our Fourth of July celebration.
A good number were present and
after some discussion it was deci-
ded to have a spectacular parade
with plenty of fire works in the
evening and two or three good
races during the day. The COM
mittee of arrangements will o.
fer suitable prizes for the winners
in the races and the person max
ing the handsomest display in the
evening parade. Sidney Hitler
was appointed committee to see
every person in the city who will
participate in the parade. 1t is
thought that at least rs cyclers
can be induced to take part. This
will be more than double the
number in the last parade, and
with the addition of some first
class fire works and colored
lights the display will be very
fine.

Tobacco Developments.

j. II. Livingston, president of
our city board of aldermen, re-
turned home yesterday from
South Florida, where he has been
for the past ten days. To a Star
reporter he gave a glowing ac-
count of the extensive tobacco
developments in Polk and other
counties. He thinks the number
of growers is no greater there
than in the vicinity of Ocala but
where they have a quarter or
half acre here they have four or
five acres there with very little
difference in the expense of culti-
walton. The acreage there being
so much greater they will have
correspondingly greater results.
He thinks our local growers
could easily more than double
their acreage with about the
same expense andIdouble the in-
come. This would not only in
sure more curing houses but COM
petition among the buyers. 1t
would also nccessitate a union
among the growers for mutual
protection.

THE CARRIERS POND PICNIC.
A Quiet Social SUCCESSFULLY Two
Hundred Persons Present-Over
Twenty y.five Miles OF Terri
tory Represented-A Day
Of Pleasure, etc., etc.

The location of this picnic
ground and the association grow
ing out of the social gatherings
which convene there from wear to
year make it matter of local in
terest which draws friends from
large area in Marion county.
Primarily this picnicking is a
young peoples move, and is got
ten up by them to have at least
one day in the year that they can
call their own, and over whose
management they are the sole ar
biters; never forgetting their eld-
ers, who are invited to enjoy the
day with them.
The grounds are beautifully
shaded, and water is abundant
for drinking. watering stock, and
domestic purposes.
The dancing platform is cano-
pied by the overhanging and UNI
bragcous branches of water and
turkey oaks, and the fine cro-
quet grounds are equally shaded,
so that lovers of the game and of
the dance are screened from the
scorching rays of the sun 1t is
needless to add that the young
people enjoyed the pleasures of
the day to their hearts content,
and when the evening sun ad-
monished the picnickers that it
was time to retrace their steps
homeward, they were unanimous
in the opinion, and so enthusiastic
cally expressed themselves, that
the Carter's Pond picnic of June
15, 1897, had in no wise disap-
pointed their pleasurable antici-
pations, and had been fully up to
the gatherings that had in years
past preceded it.
While the young men and
maidens, with hearts whole and
fancy free, yet lightly tanning
the flames that lead up to mat
ing, enjoyed the swings,
games and dances, the married
folks and those whose hearts had
been scared with years, took COM
fort and pleasure in watching the
amusements of their young
friends, and in social communion,
recalling the scenes and incidents
of days long since passed, when
youth was theirs, and roses col
ored their cheeks, and hopes and
ambitions beat high in anticipa-
tion of the future. Jim Hudgens
supplied the music, which in
spired nimble feet and graceful
forms to move in unison with it,
while Holly Seckinger kept up
the interest in the dance by call
ing the numbers.
NOTES.
The dinner was certainly an ex-
cellent one, so toothsome and fill
ing, that comment along this line
was general. But, then, such oc-
casions only enhance the fame
and reputation of the cooking
abilities of the danes and maid
ems of that section.

whom the location takes it's
name, and veteran picnicker of
