An Exciting Race.


New York, May 27.--A dispatch to
the Evening World from Jupiter. Fla,
says that Lieutenant Davis, of the bat
tle-ship Oregon. came ashore there last
night.
"Our race" said Davis, twas most
exciting one, and especially after we
left Bahia, for we knew then the posi-
bility of interrogation. Captain Clark,
however, kept the little feet in con-
slant readiness, and had we run into
the Spanish feet we would have been
heard from. As it is, we are all happy.
Our race from San Francisco is ended,
and we will have chance to take part
with the fleets now looking for the
Spanish.
The Marietta and Buffalo are with
the Oregon.
Oregon's Great Record.
Washington, May 27.-The Pacific
coast contingent in Washington cannot
contain their enthusiasm over the re-
markable performance of the battle
ship Oregon. Representative Hilborn
called at the navy department to veri-
fy the news of the ships arrival, and
he found the officials were fully dis
posed to agree with him in all he had
to say as to the Oregon's great record.
He says this performance has silenced
forever the congressional critics of
battle-ships, who had declared that no
battle-ship ever had or ever would
cross the Atlantic. for the Oregon's run
was wrought with more peril and in

For Tax Assessor

The Star presents the name IN
ITS advertising columns of Joseph
II. Lancaster for assessor of taxes
of, the county, subject to the
votes Of the democracy Of Marion.
Without disparagement to any
person already in the field, il af-
fords the Scar pleasure to COM
mend Mr.. Lancaster to the favor
able notice Of our people, and es-
pecially the democratic voters of
the county, because of the fitness
of the gentleman for the work he
will have to perform if elected.
His many years experience as
dealer in real estate and the pay
er OF a heavy tax roll for resi-
dents and non. residents, and as "a
buyer and seller of land and the
investigator of realty titles has
famiiar ized him with the intrica-
cies Of the workings of the office,
enjoyed by few people in the
county. Mr.. Lancaster's charac-
ter stands high for probity and
honor, possessed with intelligence
of a high order and endowed with
a Judgment in public affairs that
by his public acts as chairman in
the past of the board Of county
commissioners, has the hearty
endorsement of his fellow citizens.
All these and many other excel
lent traits possessed by Mr.. Ian
caster must surely commend him
to the thoughtful consideration
of the tax payers of our county.
