NEWPORT, KY, March 22.-Scott
jackson and Alonzo Walling, dental
students of Cincinnati, convicted OF
the murder of Pearl Bryan, were
hanged together on double trap in
an enclosure in the Jail yard here at
11:41X o'clocl, Saturday. The con.
demned men spent quiet but restless
night and were up at $3.50 o'clock, ate
heartily and INDUCED in cigars and
had good time. At 9:15 o'clock it
was announced that jackson had
made complete confession and
Gov. Bradley was telegraphed to
in the interest Of Walling. Jackson
declared that Walling was not guilty
of murder.
jackson was given five minutes to
make statement and to tell how and
by whom the crime was committed, and
to specify to what extent Wallirg was
blameless. At the end of five minutes
jackson stated that he could not swear
that Walling was innocent. This set
tied the fate of both prisoners and in
a few minutes the march to the scat
fold was begun.
jus. before leaving the cell Walling
said: 81 will tell you now at the last
moment of my life that was not there
and am innocent of the whole crime.
jackson has said as much, but it seems
it will not save me. l cannot say any
more. will say no more on the scat
foldo

Here to Stay.

The proprietors of the Teapot
Grocery, Messrs. Abe and Jake
Brown are surely fixtures in their
line of trade. The same is at
tested by the evidence of the re-
newal of their lease of their pres
ent quarters, including an addi-
tional room for storag ge, formerly
occupied by Messrs. j. A. Pitt
man & Co., in the Thompson
block. Carpenters are now at
work making extensive improve
ments in the old building, which,
when completed, will make the
premises the most complete and
convenient grocery building in
Ocala.

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 of i'm
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
500 per bottle at F. G. Alworth
& Co.'S drng store.

Ocala i'm the United States Court.

In the United States court now
in session in Jacksonville the fol-
lowing Ocala case was heard yes
terday:
In the case of q. G. Stapylton,
receiver of the First National
bank of Ocala, VS.. Margaret D.
Thompson, Administrative of the
estate of r. D. Thompson, de-
ceased, an order was entered in
favor of the defendant, the finding
of the court being that Thompson
at one time owned certain shares
of stock i'm the First Natio al
bank of Ocala, and that before
the bank was declared insolvent
he sold the stock to E. w. Ag-
new, then president, and that his
heirs are not now stockholders in
the said insoleent bank.

More

Curative power is contained in
Hoods Sarsaparilla than in any
other similar preparation. It
costs the proprietor and manu-
facturer more. 1t costs the job
Der more and it is worth more to
the consumer. More skill is re-
quired in it's preparation and it
combines more remedial qualities
than any other medicine. Conse-
quently it has record of more
cures and it's sales are more than
those of any other preparation.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best
medicine to buy because it is an
honest medicine and thousands of
testimonials prove that it does
actually and permanently cure
disease.

Good Returns.

The popular and efficient sher-
iff of Marion county, Ben DuPre
Hodge, who is a vegetable grow
er with an enviable reputation,
received returns from a half-acre
of land which he devoted to beets
and cucumbers this season, net
ting him for beets $2T.c3 and for
cukes $34.02, making a total Of
$6l.65, which is certainly a good
showing.

for opening, 8 o'clock, there were
only three prescnt-Green, Da-

of no quorum they could not be
heard. After waiting a while
the clerk was ordered to call the
roll. No quorum being an

Ocala's Leading Educator.

Miss Jeanette Alfred, the high
ly accomplished daughter of DR..
G. J. Alfred, of this city, won new
honors in Jacksonville last week,
of which she has reason to feel
proud. She has been filling the
position of assistant principal in
the Duval high school in, that city
during the school term just ended
and last week took the examina-
tions along with twenty-five other
teachers for a renewal of their
certificates. When the committee
reported on the examinations on
last Monday Miss Alfred was
gratified to learn that of the
twenty-six applicants hers was
the highest average. 1t was also
learned that her average of 9St
per cent was one per cent higher
than any teacher ever passed in
Jacksonville. Miss Alfred COM
bines all the qualities of success
full teacher, and by her high in
tellectual attalnments, tact and
skill, has won her way to the top
of the ladder among Florida edu-
Gators.

Plain Statement of Facts.

Editor Evening Star:
Sir-In a recent issue of your
valued paper, your Fort Mccoy
correspondent writes that "some
democrats in his neighborhood
have political guns loaded for
Representative Zewadski, for the
active part he took in introducing
and working for the Meadow
Land company's BILL" Your cor
respondent does not inform your
readers of the grounds of obiec-
tion, or wherein Mr.. Zewadski
was guilty of SO much wrong in
passing the bill referred to. It
cannot be that your correspond
ent objects to the wonderful de-
velopment that the Meadow-Land
Improvement company is accom-
plishing in his neighborhood, nor
the expenditure of immense sums
OF money, nor the promised pros
perity that will be sure to follow
that company's operation.
| take it, your correspondent is
a young man and hardly old
enough to appreciate that no un-
developed country is prosperous,
and that any man that 'tmakes
two blades of grass grow where
one grew before, or, as
this company will do, makes
sugar-cane grow where sawgrass
grew before, is a public benefac-
tor, and that when your CORES
pondent arrives at the age of dis
cretion he will encourage all
works that make to the general
prosperity. Senator Bitch and
Representative Aver also took
active part in passing the bill.
l notice that in your last weeks
issue you say many words in
praise of the very able manner in
which Representative Zewadski
discharged his duty to his consti-
tuents, which article 1 commend
to your Fort Mccoy correspond
ent, and will say that from infor-
nation of many people who visit
ed Tallahassee during the session
of the legislature, if your cores
pondent should ever have the
honor to be elected to office and
discharges his duty as ably and
as faithfully as Mr.. Zewadski, he
will receive and deserve the praise
of his constituents.

CYCLE NEWS.
Our Special Bicycle Reporter Gathers
Few Interesting Dots Among
The Wheelmen.


The Wheelmen.
Dunnellon has a bicycle track.
Mayor Strauss has a mile now
finished with the famous phos-
phate screenings. This rock is
hauled from the Dunnellon mines
free by the railroad company.
Who knows but what a bicycle
track between Dunnellon and
Ocala via beautiful Blue Springs
will be built in the near future.
Can bicycle pump be called a
windmill?
The married ladies are taking
quite an interest in cycling at
present. The following recruits
are the latest reported: Mrs. Jno.
Dozier, Mrs. Hugh Haycraft,
Mrs. r. A. Burford, Mrs. F. E.
Harris, Mrs. Edw Hitler.
Speaking of shoes a man never
feels well unless he has a fit.
Through the untiring efforts of
our gallant veteran, Mr.. f. E..
Bugbee, the bicycle track to Sill
yer Springs is an assured fact. 1t
is now within three-quarters of a
mile of the Springs and soon will
be "thing of beauty and joy
forever" 1t will take quite a
sum to finish and the treasury is
very low at present. Now that
it is so close to the end let us, one
and all, work like troopers until
it is finished.
Strangely enough a man can
go a mile without going a foot.
The wheel is becoming very
popular with the f. G.. & P. Off
Gals in this city. Will Condor is
an expert, Captain Chas. Taylor
rides, Mr.. Dozier is just learning
while Bro. Hopkins is a conner.
His first moustache makes a
king of a young man, while his
moustache itself is the hair ap-
parent.
A wheel was on exhibition at
Davidson & VanEchop's store
with a card board attached with
the following inscription: ''To be
voted to the most popular young
lady in Ocala. 1Oc a vote"
Goodness gracious, what great
drawing cards bicycles and ladies
are. At fair recently held in
Cedar Rapids $61s 90 was secured
in a similar manner.
A typewriter can do wrong
while she does write.
Wanted, a suggestion as how
to repair the crossing at Smiths
corner on the track permanently,
so as to give our amateur riders
no trouble.

REGULATED WEATHER.
Observer Jennings Has Lot of New
Apparatus.

Some of the prettiest apparatus to be
seen has just arrived at the government
weather bureau in the Columbian build
ing. No more delicate instruments are
made than those used for recording the
various meteorological conditions.
Mr.. T. B. Jennings will have a most
complete system of recording instruments
as soon as the necessary connections can
be made. On the roof of the Columbian
building the wind velocity indicator is
placed on a tall iron support. Also on
this support there is a wind vane. Half
way down the support there is a small
iron box in which many electrical con-
tact points are placed and a rod runs
from the wind vane to this box. The
velocity indicator has a speed gauge at
tached to it with electrical contact points
and when certain number of revolutions
have been run the points are touched to-
gether and an electric current transmits
the motion into the bureau office Both
these instruments have electric wires con-
Meeting with the office in which Mr.. Jen-
nings works. Also on the roof will be
placed d queer piece of apparatus which
will record sunshine and rainfall The
sunshine instruments consists of a long
glass tube with bulbs blown in it at
either end. In one end there is a black
case in which mercury is kept. As the
sunshine strikes this bulb it causes the
mercury to rise and as it passes various
contact points an electric current is sent
downstairs and is recorded.
So much for the roof apparatus. In
the office on a neat table cabinet a large
glass case contains a wonderful recording
instrument. A large cylinder revOlves
and on it two small recording pens make
their marks, while four small points
make dots on the paper to indicate wind
direction. The rain gauge on top is so
constructed that when one one-hundredth
of an inch of rain falls it tips over a cup
and registers over the same wires as the
sunshine gauge.
On the table cabinet in the office there
is a self-recording barometer which is
most interesting in it's construction. 1t
is accurate. In the weather box on the
roof the self-recording thermometer is
placed but it does not register in the Of
fee. OF course Mr.. Jennings keeps du-
plicate instruments always ready to keep
check on the self-recording instru-
ments The old standard mercurial bar
orneter is kept in the office all the time.
The regular thermometers and the maxi
mum and minimum thermometers are in
the weather box alongside the self-re-
cording thermometer. The regular wind
indicator is kept running also and regis
ters by itself in another corner of the Of
flee. Duplicate gauges are placed on the
roof. The self-recOrding instruments are
made so accurately that they seldom
varv but they are liable to accident,
hence the keeping of duplicates. Mr..
Jennings will thus be enabled to send
copies of his records to Washington, which
will greatly decrease the amount of work
and will be universally satisfactory.
