The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1897-08-06

The little Evening Star, which
really thinks it's newspaper, accuses
the Banner of Inconsistency because
the town tax books are closed and the
county books are open. The editor of
the Banner is not responsible in either
case, as he is neither town assessor or
collector nor county assessor or coll
lector. But the difference in the two
eases is simple. So simple, indeed,
that the Star editor ought to be able
to comprehend it. The town assessor
turned over his books to the collector
in time fixed by law and the county
assessor was three months in laches.
1t may he necessary for us to explain
that laches in law means negligence.

II the editor OF the Banner in say
ing that "the clerks office has been
made an advertising bureau for the

grave injustice, what does the clerk
himself say? The editor of the Ban

making reckless statements.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition Of the kid

evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.

TIE SALE OF UNION PACIFIC.
GOVERNMENT NOT LIKELY TO ASK FOR POST.
PONEMENT.

Washington Oct. 1s.-Attorney General McKenna
declined to say to-day whether not there
any prospect OF postponement OF the sale OF the
Union Pacific Railroad by the United States Circuit
Court at Omaha, set for November l. From other
and perfectly trustworthy sources. however. II IL
learned that there is no present intention on the
part of the Government 10 interfere with the order
the Court in the matter OF the sale. II 1t should
come to the knowledge OF the Government that per-
sons other than the Reorganization Committee were
DESTROYS OF making bona ide bid but required
additional time in which to perfect arrangements
and make the required deposit II is certain that the
Government, creditor, would promptly ask the
Court for a temporary postponement OF the sale.
But far as is known this contingency has not
arisen. and unless something now unforeseen arises
the sale will take place November !, the date
originally fixed by the Court.
