AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION
Let the Citizens Of Ocala EndeayOr
TO Secure a Winter Camp

If one will take the trouble to
either walk or drive out what is
known as Exposition or more
properly South street, a distance
Of just three-fourthS of a mile.
one will observe on the right
forty acre tract neatly cleared of
all bushes and debris of every
kind, and 1t is sight pleasing
to the eye While out in that
direction few days ago, and on
seeing this large area for the
first time. the location of several
regiments Of troops for the win
ter, naturally suggested itself.
L have thought Of il several times
since, and as no one up to date
has seen fit to make the Sugges-
ton, l will here make the VEN
ture: the result remains TO be
seen. L am confident that
Ocala can secure from 1000 TO
10000 troops for the winter if
her citizens will 20 about it in the
right way.
AS TO the question Of benefits
to be derived, l refer you to
what the troops have done for
jacksonville. No one can visit
tn" metropolis without being
Impress q with The great advan-
t;'y'' "f having the troops there.
l.: - not Only the soldier BOYS
4 :smd thr dollars they drop into
/ thc CUlf.rS, but the great infiuX
OF visitors attracted thereby
relatives, friends. sweethparts
and admirers, Of various perSua-
siunS. There was an effort made
in this direction last spring,
which was unsuccessful. We
should not give it up, if we still
believe they will be a benefit to
US. We must 60 ut it in a differ
way; we must offer free wlter:
this we can do and come out of
! the game way ahead. Let the
city buy the Water Co.'S. sur
plus, which is ample to accommo-
date from 5000 to 5000 troops in
the winter. Let US perfect the
arrangement, by which We can
get the remainder of the water
neceS sary from the Plant System
tank. To make this connection
it will be necessary to lay few
hundred feet of main to the tank
from lngram'S store, and place a
! pump there to force the water
: through the mains to make up
the deficit in the present supply.
liz addition to this, we should
lease from the OcIla Swimming
Club their pool, and turn it over
TO the troops, while here, to use at
their pleasure.
L notice in yesterdays Star,
that General Schwan and stall
are now making tour Of inspec-
ton, with a view Of selecting
camp sites for the troops this
winter. Now Is the time to act.
Get together, merchants, bust
ness men and citizens who have
the welfare Of Ocala at heart; APP
point your committees and get TO
work: there Is no time TO be lost.
Other towns and cities will SOon
be- at work, and let Us be on the
inside track, and if we do not
succeed, we will have done ouT
duty by making an effort, while
the opportunity was passing by,

Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. 24.-Among the

ing of delegates of the two bodies to-

Draper, of the Providence club, BOgart
of Wilkesbarre, and Kuntsch of SYRIA
cuse, of the Eastern League, President
Johnson, Charles Coniskey of St. Paul,
and Van Derbeck of Detroit.
In addition to the amendment of the

National league the questions of play
ing a series of inter-leagUe champion
ship games and the drafting of players
from the Eastern league by National
league clubs for the Western league or
vice versa, will be considered.
President Draper of Providence says
that while the two minor leagues can
not draft each others players, it is pos
sible for the National league to draft
player from one league and transfer
him to the other He says that it is his
belief that the Washington club has

COLD RIDE FOR A CIGAR.
Passenger Who Tarried Too Long
Had to Ride Miles on the
Rear Platform.

When 113 pulled out of Topeka Sat
urday it was showing tremendously.
The platform was quite slippery and
one young man who tarried at the
news stand to buy a cigar was a little
late in starting for the train. The
platform being slippery he could not
run as fast as he would under ordinary
circumstances and he could not catch
the smoker so he waited and swung
onto the rear platfrom of the last car.
Several people were watching him, and
being proud of the accomplishment of
boarding a moving train, he waved
them adieu with the bow of a Chester
field. But pride goeth before a fall and
his pride was badly chilled before Car
bOndale was reached for when he tried
the door to the car he found it locked
Yes, locked tight and there he had to

is his Overcoat was lying over the back
of a seat in the smoker. There was no
one in the car and for that reason the
door was locked. He smoked furiOuSly
and tried to warm his hand with his
cigar but that did no good. He thought
of the pictures of Sir Walter Raleigh
smoking his pipe comfortably before an
open fire and he cursed him for ever in
Producing the weed to the civilized
world. He had a good shiver until the
first stop was made at Carbonate.

FIGHT FOR A DEPOT.
People of Brooks Want Their Station
Back Again.

Independence, Jan. 24.-The state
board of railroad commissioners are
taking evidence in the case of the peo-
pie of Brooks in Wilson county against
the st. Louis & San Francisco railroad,
to compel the company to maintain a
depot at the town of Brooks. J. K. De-
Miss, of Neodesha, represents the COM
plainants, and Gleed, Ware & GIeed, of
Topeka, the railroad company.
When the Frisco railroad was built
through this section Wilson county
voted 500, 900 in bonds to aid in it's con-
struction upon the condition that the
company should build and maintain
station houses at Brooks, Neodesha,
Dun, FredOnia and New Albany.
The station house at Dun was taken
away several years ago. and when the
depot at NeOdesha was destroyed by
fire last September the depot at Brooks
was removed to NeOdesha. The COM
pany gives as its reason for not main
tanning q depot at Brooks that there
is not sufficient revenue in freight and
passenger receipts at that point to JUS
tify the expense.
