Payne's Prairie, three miles south OF
this city, covers an area of 10000 acres
a large proportion Of the prairie is now
covered with water but there are thou
sands of acres around the borders of
the lake which has been formed on
which horses and cattle Craze. There
Is no way of estimating the number Of
cattle, but there are many thousands,
and they are in fine condition. The
prairie, or savanna, which 1t really Is,
occasionally goes dry, the water pass
ing out through subtcrranean pas
sage called the sink. Where the water
goes to has never been determined.
When the sink is open the lake goes
dry, and when the outlet becomes
gorged or choked, lake from five to
seven miles wide and about eighteen
miles long is formed. When the waters
Of the lake suddenly leave 1t, thousands
or alligators, snakes, fish, and turtles
are left with nothing but mud for their
places Of abode. The fish and turtles
perish, but the sauHans and reptiles
seek and find other quarters. For miles
along the northern border of the lake
there is succession of sinks, avcrag-
Ing in depth all the way from % to 100
feet. Subtcrrancan passages run in
every direction, leaving tho ground in
the shape of n honeycomb. The ground
Is liable to give way ut any time, ere
nting new sink. The scenery around
the lake, especially OH the north side
is unique and grand, and is an attrac-
tive feature To strangers who visit this
city. The sink has for many years
been popular resort for citizens of
Gainesville, who 20 there to fish, boat
ride, and in other ways enjoy them
selves. 1t Is said that this vast area of
land could be drained at trihing ex-
pense, and were 1t drained 1t would be
the largest as well as the richest tract
Of productive land in Florida. 1t is for
the most part bed of muck. The land
Is owned by various Individuals

ICE CAVES IN COLORADO,
Masses of Ice Wonderfully Adorn the New
Discoveries.

Further discoveries have been made of
the wonderful ice caverns opened up ut the
foot of Cow Mountain, about two miles
from Gillett, Col. Three remarkable cham.
berShavo been opened. Tho first is about
fourteen by sixteen feet, heavily hung with
iciclcs In every conceivable form, resemb.
ling stalactites. From the first chamber a
small passage leads to still another more
wonderful and beautiful in which the lee
blends In varied colors, under the light OF
candle, rejecting tho rays as from the
face OF thousand mirrors
From this cave n passage scarcely large
enough to admit the body OF man was
discovered leading down at an angle of
about forty degrees to large cavern per.
haps 200 by 800 feet. Clinging to the cell.
Ing are great masses Of ice like pillows. and
banked along the sides OF the walls many
feet In thickness are tons OF ice taking on
the most grotesque forms Imaginable and
casting awesome shadows.
In the center Of the room there IL n lake
about forty by sixty-iive feet clear as cry-
stal and quite deep. There must be some
outlet, for water drips constantly from the
ceiling, yet the level of the body never rises
nor overflows. The water Is sweet and
pure, and as cold as the ice-coated walls of
the room in which 1t Is situated, 200 feet
underneath the surface OF the ground.
There are undoubtedly other caves which
have not yet been opened.

1900 cHERoKEES TO MARCH
They VIII Invade Kentucky to Do Honor
to One of Their Ancient Chiefs,

Early In September 1900 Cherokee braves
will take the road In the Indian Territory
ana VIII march into Kentucky, accompanied
by Captain Raleigh Of the United States
Army.
A strong and muscular man, with high
cheek bones and copper countenance, was
seen on the streets of Frankfort Ky.. re-
Gently. But few realized that he was an
indian, though he was the full -blooded
cherokee, Charley Parker, a nephew of the
celebrated chief Quannah Parker. He was
mounted on beautiful bay thoroughbred.
lie was the forerunner OF the invasion of
the l2oo Cherokee warriors, and was here
to see the Governor. They will enter Ken
lucky at Shawneetown and march TO n
place about three miles from Russellyille.
where they will find the grave OF a great
cnie, OF the Cherokees who was killed In
battle with the Shawnees in I74O. There
they Will DO his memory honor. This bat
tie took place on prairie near Pond River,
ana the OLD chief was wounded and carried
back into what is now Logan County.
where he died and was buried.

THOUGHT he WAS A HERO.


One OF the most ridiculous situations
which at the time bring the coldest
sweat out Of mans brow, and ever
after remain with him as a constant
source of mirth, occurred to a Shelton
merchant few days ago. He thought
he would take n bath, and as his fat
Is minus one Of the chief requisites for
the job a bathtub-he extemporized
one out Of small washtub and en-
toyed cooling ablution.
He had just concluded and stepped
from the tub for the towel, when sud
denly the top hoop Of the tub burst
with sharp report, and the man saw
to his horror that the whole contents
or the tub would soon be flooding the
hoor. At the same moment he thought
OF the store beneath and the amount
OF damage the water would do as 1t ran
down through the ceiling. He Is q man
OF quick thought, and In n moment he
did the only thing possible, threw him
self down beside the tub and, clasping
his arms around it, held the already
fast swelling slaves together. He was
successful in keeping the water in-hut
what situation. He dared not yell,
for he was hardly in a condition to
receive callers. especially as he knew
that all In the block at the time were OF
the gentlcr sex, and he realized at
once that the only thing left for him
was to stay in that position until the
return Of his wife, who was out on q
shopping expedition.
Like the boy who saved Holland, he
manfully remained in his most umcom-
Portable position until relief in the
shape of his wife appeared. Then to
cap the climax, when he asked her to
get rope or any old thing to tie about
the tub, she, after a long fit OF uncon.
trollable laughter, asked him why he
didn't carry the tub and contents out
to the sink room and pour out the
water. With look that froze the
smile on her face he did as she said,
and without a word donned his clothing
and wandered out into the cold, unfeel.

IMPORTANT DECISION
Handed Down by Judge Sharpe of,athe City Court in Usury
 Case.

Judge Sharpe rendered a very impor- tant decree yesterday in favor of conn plainants in the case of Jos. s. Smith vs. United States Savings and Loan Com pany involving the power of foreign building and loan companies. The same decree was rendered in the case of Nancy Wood against the same company. ,e.e
 In the Falls case, 99> Ala, 417 the su- preme court held that these foreign com panies could not legally collect more than s per cent interest. In February, 1893, the legislature passed an act, und ar which these companies held that past contracts were rendered free from usury.
 Judge Sharpe held with the complain ants in the Smith and Wood cases, tn It the act of 1893 "does not retroact So eaS to legaliza the usury inhering inspast transactions like the one here involved, and it is so held for the reason that the different construction contended for by defendant is not made imperative by the terms of the act, and would. if adopted, render such retroactive clause unconstitutional" ~4sr

 AM these symptoms rapidly disappear when the stomach is relieved, strength ened and cleansed by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets They should be taken after meals and a few carried in the pocket to be used whenever any pain or distress is felt in the stomach. They are prepared only for stomach troubles
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are endors- ed by such physicians as pr. Haraldson, pr. Jennison and Dr. Mayer, because they contain the natural digestive acids and fruit essences which when taken into the stomach cause the prompt digestion of the food before it has had time to fer ment and sour, which is the cause of the mischief,
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pleas ant to take and unequalled for invalids, . children and every person afflicted with imperfect digestion It is safe to say II they will cure any form of stomach trou- ble except cancer of the stomach.
