FLORIDA LETTER.

The country has largely recovered
from the effects of the great freeze
IN 1875, and the short tiHssin which
the fruits have come to beiisring is a
revelation. The sprouts now bearing
are OF course SO many new branches
from the body of the tree, as the trees
were killed to the ground, as was the
case In the central part OF the state.
They have made rapid growth from the
stump and many of them are in bear

tanned large proportions. They are
raised under half shade and are much
pe!ter t than the imported apples and

Senator Allen did a mean thing in
in the senate, recently, when he pre-
sented a resolution recognizing the
beligerrncy of Cuba. He read that
portion of the StLouis platform on
which Mckinley was elected, which
declares that:
The government of Spain, having
lost control of Cuba and being unable
to protect the property or lives of res
ident American citizens or to comply
with its treaty obligations, we believe
that the government of the United
States should actively use it's influence
and good offices to restore peace and
restore independence to the island.''
and then called attention to the presi-
dents message, in which he said:
[ regard the recognition of
the belligerency of the Cubans as now
unwlse and therefore inadmissable.
Should that step hereafter be deemed
wise as measure of right and duty,
the executive will take it,:

Dan Anthony has gone to headquar-
tiers at Washington to make war on
Cy Leland. He will prove that Leland
never was for Mckinley until he had
to be, and that he cares for the partv
only as means of increasing his
power and influence. Anthony will do
everything in his power te make it uu-
conf ortable for the boss. His fight
ing abilities have been so thoroughly
demonstrated that interesting develop
ments may be expected.

TOPEKA NOTES

The populist police force of Topeka
mas so handled its affairs that its ex-
peGses for the first eight months in Of
flee has been $500 less than during
the last eight months of the Morrill,
administration.
The report of the State Auditor of
Iowa shows that the State treasury is
empty, that the expense account is
greater than the income and that the
tax levy must be raised. The State
Ifeasurers and Auditors of Iowa have
been republicans without except on
for a generation
Cy Leland has caused the removal
OF Charles Osborne, son ct ex-Secre-
tary OF State Osborne. He has been
employed IN the pension Office for
some years. Leland had an old
grudge against Capt. Osborne, and
took it out in fling charges of incom-
potency against his son.
After rejecting the bids and read
vertlsing, the Board of Charities has
secured contract for the building of
the new building at Winfield. The
appropriation is $50 900, the contract
price $26,1z0, and the State will get
It's building for less than was appro-
priated. This is better than the work
of the former board.
Two young men recently enticed two
girls away from the Eeloit Girls In
dustrlal School. Mrs. Bare. the SUP
erlntendent, will have the young men
arrested and prosecuted. The girls
went away and were re-captured some
time ago but Mrs. Bare has been
waiting for an opinion as to whether
they could testify il court.

position with reference to a renomina-
ton: ''To the Public:--Articles have

figures that the net deficit will amount
to 1892, ,6l3 by July l, 1899. In refer
ring to the causes of the deficit, Audi
tor Mccarthy says, on page ). that
lin amount it is less than that paid
annually by neighboring State as
interest upon it's debit He omitted
reference to the fact that the State in
question is also managed by repub-
licans. Among the causes given are
a 2 per cent decrease in assessed val
uations, the failure of a lot of coun-
ties, most of which are controlled by
republicans, to pay up their dues, the
increase of demands of State institu-
tions, the building of a new insane
hospital, the cost of an extra ses-
sion and repairing damages on a
State institution which was struck by
lightning. The Auditor gives the fol-
lowing as a remedy "a financial poll
cy which will bring the State back to
cash basis is desirable, from con-
slderations of public economy as well
as from the standpoint of State pride. .
He recommends an increaee in the tax
levy, limiting the improvements ir

OURTAILED THE HONEYMOON.

Mrs. William Sheppler After Three Days
Of Married Life Skips Out.
Alter a three days honeymoon Mrs.
William Sheppler, who had been Bessie
Young, deciaed that welded life was
dismal succession of failures. William
Sheppler, three days happy husband, is
now securing the City for trace OF his
recreant frou.

fields restaurant, claims to have known
Bessie Young from childhood. He wooed
her and, rs he fondly supposed, won her.
Saturday they were married at st. PauPs
Church in proper style, and in the evening
a reception followed.
Tuesday evening, when Sheppler came
home from work. he found q note from
his newly welded wife saying she was GO
ing forever and expressing sentiments
toward William which jar vigorously con-
vontional ideas of honeymoon. She
also took the wedding presents, a fact
which Sheppler does not overlook in re-
lating his woes. He however expresses
his willingness to take her TO the fat
which he had furnished up for her and
forgive all. In the meantime Mrs. Shepp-
Ter has not been located.
Her parents, who reside on York street,
claim TO be as much at loss as their be-
reaved son-in-law. Friends of the girl say
she was opposed to the marriage, but
parental influence prevailed.

amateur race to be run tonight was &c
filled that it had to be divided into nine
heats, which will necessitate semi-fnals
before the final. 1t is a one-mile handi-
cap. The one-mile scratch, professional,
and the five-mile invitation, professional,
will be hot events, as they bring together
some of the crack riders of the country.
Then there is the five- mile club cup race,
which is to be a feature of every evening
during the tournament, and which Will
be the source of considerable warm partt-
sanship, as such events always are.
The management has made wise move
in placing the admission at popular
prices. and the construction OF the track
makes almost any location in tho big
building good. The meet will draw an
immense crowd, particularly the opening
night, tonight.
W. c. Pelot, who Witnessed every Ma
tional circuit tournament last season,
speaks of the outlook for the sport this
year as follows:
'.The indications are that the racing
season OF '97 will be one OF small teams,
fast racing, clean work on the part of the
riders and general revival in racing in
all parts of the country. From the pres
ent appearance the sport will never get so
strong that it can stand on Its own feet
without aid from the manufacturers.
This was proved by the cancellation OF
dates all along the National circuit last
year until team was sent out from Chi
cago."

Wheelmen has returned from an ex-
tenoed business trip through the North
