New Mitnes. In the Luetgert CASE.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Another sensa-
ton is promised In the trial of Adolph
Leutgert. 1t is to be in the testimony
Of the witness who will follow Mary
Siemering on the stand. The testi-
mony will tend to show that Mrs. Luet-
CERT did actually go away from home
OF her own volition. thereby leaving
the plain inference that she is still
alive. This witness name has not
been made public by the attorneys for
the defense, and the reason given for
Withholding the name is fear of the
police.

The travel from the north to
Ocala during the past week has
been larger than at any time for
more than year. Added to this
is an unusually large number
stopping at our hotels from all
parts of the state. Almost one
hundred guests at the Ocala House
with no extra attraction in the city
has seldom been equaled. 1t don't
look very much as if the the Sun
day closing ordinance was keeping
everybody away from town. The
fact is, the Ocala House we'll as
our city in general, has been more
extensively patronized during the
past six weeks by both northern
visitors and travelling men than
any city CT similar size in the state.
None of the Plant hotels have been
as largely patronized as the Ocala
House, even where they are run
in towns that are wide open on
Sunday. This goes to show that

CONDITION OF THE STRIKE.
The Miners in West Virginia are Now
.IOining the Strikers

DANvILLE, Ills, July 1.-THE four
big operators of the Danville district
have decided 10 offer their miners the
wages stipulated in the Columbus scale.
The offer stands good until Monday.
A committee of miners from the prop
critics of the Consolidated Coal COM
pany in the Belleville district, called
upon the local officer Saturday. The
com ittee was acting under instruc-
tiOns from all the men at the mines of
the company and said if last years
wages would be restored, the men
would not strike. After short con-
sultation this was agreed upon.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 1.-THE Sec
ond week of the coal miners strike
closes today with no important devel-
opments to record. Miners remain
firm and have had valuable accession to
their ranks during the two weeks. The
money losses to both sides runs into
the millions aud the talk of arbitration
goes on, but seems to be an arbitration

secondary consideration.

There are 40, 900 miners in this neigh

THAT FINANCIAL BARN RAISING.'' -
1t was Evenly Done all Through the
COunty-GeneraI Protest.

The mission OF those 900 postal cards
has been productive of one thing, they
have stirred up'the animals. and there
is general protect. Z. H Conklin
voices the sentimnet Of many property
owners in sayiog thatsuch a raise in val
ua,ions is one of the greatest Outrages
ever perpetrated. But at the same
time, Judge Harper tells A. 2. Coles
that owing to the success of the recent
county election in raising the Is per
cent extra tax for the road and bridge
fund, the valuations recently made can
be cut down considera bly,. The board
realized that the county must have
money 'sOmehow, someway, some
which or some what" SO the measures
resorted to bordered on the heroic. and
it W as not eXpe ted that the election
would carry. But it did. and the coun-
tvs financial distress will be greatly
lightened thereby.
However. the increase in valuations
alreay referred to has left lots of pro-
p-rty owners sOr e. There is the estate Of
Johu Hancock of Austin, Op ming 5123
acres of arid land a: Rio Grande sta
ton. 1t was valued by the owners at
$1,000 while ago, but of late they have
be en- offering it for six bits au acre.
The county board of equalization rails
ed the valuation to S15.520. The estate
of Thomas Howard valued at 800, 900
was Jumped up to SS9, 6oO. Then owners
of unimproved d land claim that the val
ue of improvements on their lands
made subsequent to January L, were
included in the valuation, contrary TO
law.
Judge Lo,mis says land down the
country without ws ter or any improve
ments has been jumped uDcopsciously
high by the equaIizing board. One
tract of some 100 acres valued at $3.50,
60 mile S out, has been raised to S1OSO,
although the land is not worth six bits
per acre. Other lands out in the coun
ty that will not sell for 81 are assessed
at S3. Judge Loomis regards this rails
ing business as regular robbery. Tee
he says voted 5000 to
pay Judge Fa vey and Captain Brack
to fight the Rio Ora de irrigation
scheme, VIII ch was clearly illegal and
then they go TO taxing US out Of our
boots to make up the deficiency.

he has no particular kick coming, he
has noticed that the county board OF
