His Life Was Saved

Mr. J. E. Lilly, prominent citizen of
Hannibal, No., lately had a wonderful
deliverance from a frightful death. In
telling of it he says: 'tI was taken with
Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumo-

was so weak l couldn't even sit up in

soon die of Consumption, when heard

THE NEW DIsTRICT.t


A district made of these counties,
though in 1885 not as populous as
either of the other two, would have
its share of population under the
census now being taken. The gain
was 31,124, and this would carry
the population of the district to
III, ,931,. and the State would be d.
vided into three districts SO equita-
bl7 that the difference in the number
of the inhabitants of the most pop
ulous and least populous would be
less than $500.
An estimate of the third Con-
gressmpn, of course, presuppose a
correct census. So many complaints
are already being made IN many
portions Of the State that it is a
question as to whether the census
was carefully taken or not. Where
there is ground for the belief that it
was not correctly taken, the ccm-
munities most interested should IN
sist upon a supplementary census,
takine the nature Of an inquiry as to
whop were omitted. Where omis-
sions are discovered, the correction
should be made, and some way

Suwannee to be divided into two
districts and this division may be
made drumming a line between the
COUNTS east and west and separat-
ing The northern from the southern
part Of the peninsula, or one running
nor6 and south, and dividing into
disticts lying to the east and west
of. the line.
| The last division would probably
be made for several reasons. In the
first place, the southern part of the
EState is increasing more rapidly in
proportion than the northern, and a
division by an east and west line
would give two districts approx
mately equal in population now, but
would hardly be so in 1900, because
of the more rapid increase of the
southern part. A division by a
north-and-south line would give two
districts with population -approxi-
mately equal IN 1910 as well as In
1900. This would be more RgQita-
BILE than a division leaving the dis
tricts unequal in population.
In addition to this is a political
reason, and such reasons generally
have more weight in deciding mat
ters of this kind. \ South Florida
district would receive a large immi-
grafton, and might in time become
entirely too close for comfort to the
Democrats. By dividing the old
settled counties of the peninsula be-
tween the two districts, the Demo.
Gratis would be more certain to Sc:
cure a comfortable majority in each,
instead of an extravagant one in one
and an uncomfortably small one, Il
any, in the other.
The most probable division of the
State would then be: For the Sec:
Ond District the following counties

No Right To UpIiness.

The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attractive
must keep her health. If she is weak,
sickly and all run down, she will be ner-
vOus and irritable. If she has constipa-
tion or kidney trouble, her impure blood
will cause pimples, blotches, skin erup-
tiOns and wretched complexion. Elec-
trio Bitters is the best medicine in the
world to regulate stomach, liver and

The Other View.

In view of the probability that tn,
next apportionment will give Flor
ida three Representatives in Cor.
gress instead of two, the questioned
how to re-district the State becomes
a matter of interest. The changes
made in district lines are espe&4y
of interest to those who are allesdy
Congressman, their friends, ftose
who expect to be COngreSsmen, and
likewise their friends. The member
from given district wishes that
district to be meddled with asittle as
possible. He has made his friends, and
he doesn't want to see thea incOr-
porated into some other di9ict and
made the friends of someher man.
AS to the two Representatives from
Florida, it may be said tE it's pos
sible to run the lines ~ as to give
Mr.. Davis nearly alIihe counties
now composing his frict without
the addition of any pew counties
whatever. - H

ever. has such geo1 sphical features

Editor Tallahasseean-DO you
you know, Mr.. Editor, that l have
been doing a lot of thinking lately
along certain line and want to tell
the good christian fathers and moth
ers. and all good citizens generally
what has been the burden of my
thought as to what Tallahassee
needs most. With her many other
good things which she already has,
and that is a first class up-to-date
free reading room for both sexes. l
do not mean a library as that you
already have, but nicely fitted up
reading room ON the ground floor, on

between the capitol f.and post Office

and old of both sexes are welcome
/ to drop in;and spend an hour or two
in reading the current news of the
day at any hour between 8 in the
morning and 10 in the evening. You
may think this schefne:yisionary and
impracticable, but ! assure you it is
NOT and when once started and on
its feet, it will almost go6f its own

For your room you will need an
entire well lighted store room 1S to

tolic vision of crystal city glorlfled
by light that never was on land or
sea" was not more beautiful than
these vast Ice rivers, whose onward
course is chronicled, not by years and
centuries, but by geological ages, says
British Columbia correspondent Of
the New York Post With white dom
ed show cornices wreathed fantastic
as arabesque and with the CLASSY
walls Of emerald grotto rejecting n
million sparkling jewels, one might be
in some cavernous dream world or
among the tottering grandeur Of an an
cient city. The ice pillars and silvered
pinnacles. which scientists call seracs,
stand like the sculptured marble Of
temples crumbling to ruin. Glittering
pendants hang from the rim of blush
chasm. Tints too brilliant for artists
brush CLEAN from the turquoise of
crystal walls. Rivers that flow through
valleys of ice and lakes, hemmed in by
hills Of ice, shine with an azure depth
that is very infnity's self.
In the morning, when all thaw has
been stopped by the nights cold, there
is deathly silence over the glacial fields,
even the mountain cataracts fall noise
lessly from the preclpice to ledge in
tenuous, wivd blown threads. But with
the rising of the sun the whole glacial
world bursts to life in noisy tumult.
Surface rivulets brawl over the ice
with a glee that is vocal and almost
human. The gurgle of rivers flowing
through subterranean tunnels becomes
roar, as of rushing, angry sea, Ice
grip no longer holds back rock scree
loosened by the nights frost, and
there is the reverberating thunder of
