AN EXTINCT TOWN.
St. Joseph, Once the Most I'M
portant City in Florida,
Now in Ruins.

The Wehawitchka fla News gives
the following account of the present
appearance of the old town of St 10.
seph, once the most fourishing seaport
of Florida: At old St Joe millions of
brickbats and whole brick mark the
site of the town that once had from
5000 to $4,000 inhabitants. The only
inhabitants we saw were about fifty
head of cattle and pair of sandhill
cranes. Yet this place, back in the
3O's and 10 5, was the most important
place in the state. 1t was here the
first constitutional convention was held
and came near being the capital OF the
state. Yellow fever in the early 10 5
depopulated the town and from that
time on it went down. Many of the
houses we're moved to Apalacaicola.
We visited the old cemetery and found
many graves, but only ten with in
scriptions to identify them. The
vaults, made of the best brick, had
been opened and bones can be seen.
The fences around the graves had fall
en- down by fire burning the post,
yet today, some sixty years afterward,
the pickets are sound as a dollar.
From all reports St. Joseph was a wide
open town, gambling in sight on Sun
day as we'll as week days, and it is said
there was not a church in the place.

THE HORRORS OF DEATH VALLEY.
Graphic Description of the Most Dreaded Spot of the West The
Blistering Sand Strewn With Many Skeletons.

Sidney Herbert Blan of Troy, Ala,
is writing story of a recent trip to
California. In speaking of riding on an
oil engine on the Santa Fe road across
the California plains before reaching
the ideal portion of California he says:
"Since leaving Bagdad we had been
climbing grade, as the heavy putting
of tie engine evidenced. Several lit
tie telegraph stations were passed, but
they always turned the white light on
the semaphore, giving uD clearance
past; thus we clipped miles off at a
lively gait.
"You see all that country to your
right" asked Engineer Davis. You
could see as far as the eye could
reach. "Well, ten miles over the
plain is the noted Death Valley. OF
course everybody in the Union knows
of that place. 1t is composed of white
broiling sands and skeletons. The way
it acquired that name was thus Quite
a long time back party of United
States regular soldiers with outfit and
camping paraphernalia were going
from Utah over on the California coast
to locate. They were under the lead
ership of an old scout, who was said to
know all this country. In due time
they came to Death valley, which is
longer than it is wide, but it is great
distance both ways. They wandered in
this place for several days and the
food and water supply was getting
shorter and shorter, and the broiliug
sun hotter and hotter, and the men be-
coming more anxious and dissatisfied.
So when they stopped for camp one
night they had a general discussion OF
affairs. There we're three factions; the
guide claimed to know where he was
and begged them to stay with him,
promising to lead them safely through,
but only few remained. Next morn.

it got its name"
Continuing he said: "There are one
or two little streams in the valley, but
they are so poisoned with alkali and
arsenic that to drink the water pro
duces almost instant death. People and
animals getting in there are fooled by
the mirage. The reflection of the sun

fact that last weeks issue saved the
taxpayers about $4,000. There
have been number OF democratic

had not promptly called them down

The democrats are making vain
attempt to blind the people as to the
real purpose of the revenue bill. In
spite of the fact that the assessed
valuation of the state has been more
than doubled the fusion state board
has fixed the state tax levy at the
same figures as last year. This will
force the taxpayers of Prowers coun-
ty alone to pay $4,000 more money
into the state treasury than they did
last year. OF course they are trying
to make the people believe that this
all comes off the railroads, but that
will hardly go down for all know
that the larger portion of the taxes
is assessed to our home people.
