United States Senate. to succeed Senator

The Orange County Stock Association

cute any and all persons guilty OF burn
ing the woods or putting out fires in VIC
lation of the law.

The Florida Conference of the Methodist
Church, South, now in session at Gaines
vile, is composed of 126 ministers and "A
laymen. There are 1O7 pastoral charges and
$50 organized churches, with a member
ship Of 2l.255. This includes all Of the state
but West Florida, which belongs TO Ala
hama.
Orange City people are congratulating
themselves on the breaking up Of the gang
OF burglars. as indications lead to the be-
lief such they We're. and no doubt were
taking notes and waiting the right time
TO begin operations. as the kit Of burglars
tools found win indicate their trade. Sheriff
Turner is doing his best to arrest the one
who skedaddled. All connected with the
affair are strangers.
The citizens OF Tampa held a mass
meeting Thursday and passed resolutions
offering a reward Of 81 600 for the arrest
of the man or men who blew up with
dynamite the big dam that furnished the
power for the electric light plant and street
car lines. The Governor has also been cail-
ed on TO offer an additional reward.
The Key West Board of Trade has done
nothing for nearly a year, and the people
of Key West want to know what has be-
come Of it.
There seems to be no limit to the various
resources Of Florida. There has been dis
covered at River Junction, in that state,
an immense deposit Of purely white hy-
draulic cement and plant has just been
erected at that place for the purpose Of
putting this valuable product on sale 1t is
understood that this cement is as good
as the best, and that il can be sold al Q
profit for less money than any other ce-
ment on the market.
IheIe can no longer be any doubt that
the cattle trade Of Florida with Cuba will
rapidly become more extensive and be Of
much advantage TO an the various inter
esis Of the state. The demand for cattle
Tor the Cuban trade is greater now than
ever before, and the probability Is that
the demand VIII increase for some time 60
come. There is scarcely a county in the
STATE that is not experiencing the bench
oial effects resulting from our new rela-
lions with Cuba.

Sun SAYS: While investigating the death

day the police found that Barta, after
drinking choral calmly wrote jokes while
waiting for the drug to take effect
Lying on the bed, where the body was
found, the police discovered a notebook.
which contained a number of the Jokes
thus written. Barta, although he worked
as laborer was considered a genius by
his friends and had thought of writing a
play.
Among the jokes written in the note
book were the following;
He-why did you let that Frenchman
kiss you?
She-I could not help 1t.
He-Why?
she-Because I cennot speak French.
Another extract from the note book ran
in this wise.
Husband How do you like this scenery?

miration.
Husband-If that is the case I will build
a home here at once
And stiH another was this:
She-That is not right
He-What?
She-Why. your kissing me-
He-I am doing the best l know how.
An inquest was held and a verdict of
suicide was rendered. Barta was born in
Bohemia.

Nothing 10 Being Left Undone TO Make
u . Grand Success.

Every feature OF the three days
celebration OF the Fourth Annual
Festival OF Mountain and Plain
this year will be entirely different
from anything previously attempt
ed. The fireworks display ar
ranged for the City Park on the
evening Of October 9Th, II is now
concluded will be the gaandest
pyrotechnical display ever wit
messed in the west. 1t will be in
charge OF the Pains, Of Chicago;
and is to cost not less than sI5,-
900. There will be fifty mon
strous set pieces, besides hundreds
OF smaller ones the best produc-
tions OF the world-famed manufac-
tuers. A "double bill' will be
given on this night. On the sup
position that the grounds at the
park will not accommodate the
multitude, the directors have re-
ceived proposals for an elaborate
biograph and other entertainment
in front OF the grand stand down
town which is to comprise in major
part views OF the battles at San
t.ago, Porto Rico and Manila, ac-
companied by pyrotechnic dis
charges TO make them the more
realistic. The screen is TO be COX
SO feet, the largest ever built in
the United States.
Among the other noteworthy
features will be the icarilla
Apaches pronounced HIckoria,
meaning basket workers, who will
perform their difficult as well as
artistic work, weaving baskets out
OF scrub willow" which grows in
profusion in the Sinking Lake
country, New Mexico. Among
them Will be number who were
followers OF old Geronimo. This
company will be under command
Of lanes a. Garfield and Ed Ladd,
as interpreter. In addition to the
Apaches will be large company
OF U,cs. headed by old lgnscio,
The Utes will entertain the public
with dances, games, and take part
in the Battle OF Sand Creek" On
the evening OF the third day takes
place the parade and ball of the
Slaves OF the Silver Serpent, the
most expensive, glittering array Of
dazzling splendor ever seen any
where IN the United States. Every
float in the parade will be entirely
new, not single feature of former
parades will be duplicated.
