passed for its Growth.
A representative of the Star
had the pleasure of meeting Mr..
Henry Curtis in the city Wednes-
day. He is the emigration agent
of the f. G.. & p. r. R., with
headquarters at Quincy, the ac-
knowledged center of the tObac-
co growing interest in Florida.
Mr.. Curtis is an intellectual and
level headed business man. who
has shown rare good Judgment in
the field in which he is employed
and has probably taken deeper
interest i'm the cultivation and
promotion of this industry than
most any other man in the state.
His position and official work
calls him all over the common
wealth. He is untiring in his eff
forts to promote the growing OF
tobacco and is ever ready to i'm
part information along this line
which if Systematically followed
will bring success to those who
embark in the business. ~
Mr.. Curtis said the outlook is
most promising for the tobacco
crop and is giving every cncour-
agement to those who have gone
into growing the weed. He is
particularly pleased with the nat
ural condition and advantag ges
for growing tobacco in Marion
county, having been stationed in
Ocala some ten years ago as the
f. g. & P. agent at this point
and is therefore familiar with our
soil, of which he said none better
exists in the state for the success
full cultivation of fine cigar leaf.
To encourage our growers Mr..
| Curtis remarked that the people
of Dade City are enthusiastic on
the subject of the cultivation OF
tobacco and the handful of plant
ers who were the successful pio-
neers in the work last season
have created an interest among
their people in its cultivation
that is truly wonderful, and this
interest has fairly revolutioniZed
the business Of the town and the
country tributary to it. Within
an area of two miles of Dade
City twelve new tobacco barns
have been built.
Speaking of perfect acreage OF
crop he said it could be found at
Plant City and an area consist
ing of four acres so uniform in
size and growth that he believed
he could take rifle and shoot
over a row and knock the bloom
off of every stalk in it. OF
course, said the genial Curtis,
this is a figure of speech, but
surely my eyes have never seen a
handsomer or more perfect to-
bacco patch. So
We note the speech of Mr..
Curtis on the, tobacco question
because he is authority on this
leading topic and a man whose
information along this line with
his well known conservatism
should be an inspiration and en-
couragement to those who are
growing tobacco never to let up
in their work until success crowns
their efforts, always remember
ing that quality and not quantity
in producing tobacco should be
the aim and end of the grower.
With the rest of Florida, Ocala
and Marion county has an intense
interest in the tobacco industry

LAW REGARDING THE INSANE.
The law en- the subject is as

the jury, in giving their verdict
of not guilty, shall state that it
was given for such cause, and
thereupon, and if the discharge
or going at large of such person
shall be considered by the court
manifestly dangerous to the
peace and safety of the people,
the court shall order him to be
committed to jail or otherwise to
be cared for as an insane person.
or may give him into the care of
his friends, on their giving satis-

wagonload of Youngsters Struck by a
Train at Denver.
DENVER, June IA spring wagon
driven by Henry Marsau, a carpenter,
and containing eight children ranging
in age from 3 to 9 years, was struck by
a special train on the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad, and as a result four Of
the children are dead and the others are
terribly injured, two SO badly that they
will die. Marsau, with his three chill
dren, had been spending the day at
the home of Christopher S~choneweiss,
in the southern part of the city. When
ready to start for home he took a load of
children gathered up in the neighbor-
hood for a short ride. 1t is claimed by
the police that Marsau was intoxicated
and paid no attention to the signals of
the engineer, but drove upon the track
while the train was in plain sight and
but a few feet away. The engine struck
the wagon, demolishing it and crushing
and mangling the children in a horrible
manner

meeting in Central hall resolutions We're
passed ~denouncing> the gas trust and

man Harlan, the tate candidate for may
or on the independent Republican tick
ct, was cheered again and again by the
audience. Mr.. Harlan called some of
the officers of the gas and street rail
way companies by name, and charged
them with the guilt of bribery at
Springfield. He told how much blood
money it took to buy a vote.
The speaker said the professional
''leading citizen was an anarchist at
heart, because he knew no law above
the law of his own will. When the
peoples hatred of dishonest wealth, he
said, becomes a hatred of all wealth, the
safety of the country vas at stake. He
urged the honest rich to join in the
movement against the dishonest. Mr..

to consider these bills, would read his

department boys feel pretty good over
the railroad arrangements secured for
the fremen's tournament at Madison
June % and following days. The Mil
waukee company has granted a rate OF
one fare for the round trip and has made
arrangements to run a special train
from Woonsocket to Madison and re-
turn, thus avoiding a delay over night at
the former place. A large number of
the departments will congregate here
and proceed on to Madison.
Suggestions are being made for a state
flower for South Dakota. The Alexan-

Herald says, "but it has no perfume.
and, when placed in a room, its pollen Is
sure to cause an affection of the throat
and nasal organs Of very many persons.
After all it is a weed and a very coarse
one. Further, it is Indigenous to all
northern states. If we might be per-
mitted to make a suggestion we would
nominate the beautiful and fragrant
gumbo lily, and change it's name to the
Dakota lily. 1t is a native Of this Sec
ton and for fragrance, beauty and puri-
ty has few equals and no superiors."
The Salem Post, G. A. r. are going to

from Henry w. Corl, post commander at
Salem, to j. N. Preston of this city, will
show: I'm replying to yours of recent
date, will say as to arrangements for
entertainment at our reunion June 3
and 4: "All veterans, their wives and
unmarried children, will be entertained
free; all others are expected to arrange
for their own entertainment. AS you
say, it would be impossib le to furnish
for all who are expected to be present.
The citizens are taking hold and will
entertain all who may attend. We will
have come special features that we
think will be an attraction, such as the
Flandrau Indian band and ball team,
fireworks in the evening of each day, as
we'll as the popular war drama, On the
Potomac, and good speakers, and many
other attractions"

ouARRELeD SIX CENTURIES.

Treaty of Peace Between Two Families
Brought to n Close Amid Mirth.
1t is seldom in this workaday age that
one encounters a genuine family foud in
herited from sire to son through no less
than six centuries. Such feud actually
existed in the dominions of Queen Victoria
until a short time ago, and its final set
tlement was brought about by the in
genuousness of boy Of 8,
The two leading Anglo Irish families in
Ireland have long been the Fitz-Geralds
and the Buffers. From being comrades in
arms Of the invading Strongbow, they be-
came by degrees rival barons and fierce
contestants for the vice sovereignty Of
their adopted country. In the wars Of the
roses the Buffers sided with the red
rose of Lancaster, the Fitz-Geralds with
the white rose of York. Factions gathered
around the two great houses, and the bitter
feud brought forth death and bloodshed
from as early as 1850 down to the VIII
hamite wars. The Buffers, whose chief
had obtained the dignity of earl of Or
monde, succeeded In crushing the power
of the elder branch Of the Fitz-Geralds,
earls of Desmond. 1t Is told Of a warlike
Desmond that while being borne prisoner
on the looked shields Of his feudal foes
clansmen the Buffers taunted him with
the bitter words;
"Where is now the proud Fltz Gerald"
To (which the indomitablo earl answered: /:
"Fitz Gerald is where he ought to be
on the necks of the Buffers"

the intensity Of the strife,
