Muscatine Wsterworks Bid in fer
Eight Hundred Dollars.

Muscatine, Ia, Dec. 10-The Mus.
catine waterworks, valued at 100000,
were sold during the day for taxes
amounting to $S06. The city bought
the plant last spring for 100000 and
it now appears that back taxes had not
been paid. The city refuses to pay
them. claiming that it bought the plant
without encumbrance. The old ccm.
pany has dissolved, and, of course, will
not pay them. The waterworks were
bought by a prominent real estate
dealer, who says he will defend him.

CASTRO VERY DEFIANT

Seizure of a customhouse by the

a Large Colony but Nothing More.
Willemstadt, Curacao, Dec. 10.-A
merchant who is familiar with Colon
just returned from an extensive trip
through both countries and who is
close to President Castro of Venezuela,
talked of the German-Venezuelan sit
uation to the correspondent here of
the Associated Press. He said:
"President Castro seems to think
that Germany will not await his good
pleasure for the payment by Venezuela
of the interest now due on the German
debt, which amounts to upwards OF
$$2000,000. He is considering the pos
sibility of the seizure of the La

order that this payment may be ef-
fected. In this connection President
Castro told me that Germany would
have to wait for her money. I am not
responsible for the debts incurred by
my predecessors, said Castro. This
is a commercial debt and Germany
should have recourse to the courts of
law And, besides, what can Germany
do? If she takes the port of La
Guayra l shall at once declare free
trade, and every merchant may then
import as much as he likes without
payment of duties through the Gus
tomhouse seized by her. Or, am will.

establishing a large colony but moth

Caracas her troops will be exter

them after the manner of the Beers.
Not one of them would be left. The
Germans and foreigners generally
have everything to lose. nothing to
gain, but with war they would be de.

1 big LAND DEAL
Millions Of Dollars to be Put
0ut as a Result
PLANS NOV BEING LAID
Internal Improvement Board Engi-
tleered the Big Deal.

The Board Of Trustees Of the Inter
nal Involvement Fund OF the State Of
Florida nave just completed a contract
Of sale ef a large body Of lands lying
south of. Township 50, in the vicinity
Of the Thousand Islands, for the pur-
pose Of Teclaiming and draining,
which VII result in a great improve
ment of &hat section of the State, and
will prove Of vast benefit to the whole
State. as it causes large capitalists to
become interested in Florida.
It is expected that at least a million
dollars will he expended in the imme-
diate future in the drainage and re-
clamation of the land and the erec-
ton Of plants for various manufacture
ing enterprises, which will lead to the
cultivation of a large area Of land at
present unfit for any use, and afford
employn1< 1T to hundreds and perhaps
thousands. Of people.
The enterprise IS as yet in its in
cipiency, and the plans are not ready
10 be made public, but when they are
the people of the State will De sur
prised~at the magnitude of the under
taking. To the members of the Board
of Trustees, great credit is due for the
consummation of an enterprise Of such

DUVAL BROS. The OWNERS
They Purchased it Tuesday from

Messrs. Joseph W. and Eugene Du-
val, recently leading merchants of Car
rabelle, have moved to this city and
purchased the Marine Bank building,
now occupied by Henderson & Hender-
sOn, r. ". Williams and J. \. Edmond

made Tuesday from Lewis NJ. Lively.
The Messrs. DuVal viii az once re-
model the building throughout, ex-
tending the walls east 10 the sidewalk.
and making two large, rOOmy store
houses Of the first floor.
Their plans are not fully decided
upon yet, but it is probable that they
will add another story, making it three
stories high. In that case the second
and third stories will probably be
fitted up as law Offices. etc.
The decision to buy this property in
tallahassee was reached by DuYal
Bros. after a considerable tour of in
spection embracing the leading cities
OF the State, and after fully inYestigat-
ing their prospects
1t shows that the idea entertained by
the Tallahasseean, viz: That Tallanas-
see has a very bright future, near at
hand, too, is taking root among out
sideTs.
These two young men are bright, Sa-
gacious business men. and TallahaS-
see extends them a cordial welcome,
having every assurance that they will
be valuable acquisitions.

4 TRIBUTE OF LOVE.

Departed this life at the residence Of
her sister, Mrs. V. E. Oliver, Oh the
morning Of June 18th, Miss Matte c.
McEachin, in the 9th year Of her age.
Again Gas Gods unseen angel cross
ed our pathway and removed from
earthly struggles and strife one whom
we loved and whose presence will De
sadly missed.
rs soon as it was known that her
coalition was serious, everything Was
done that loving, anxious and willing
friends and loved ones could Go, anu
deep, earnest human skill gave its I'M
firing and tender ministry to stay the
raYageS of the fatal disease. But G5d
saw best that she should go, ami will
ingiy she laid down life's weary load
to enter into rest eternal.
She had been a member of her sis
ter's family over twenty years, and it
was the writer's good fortune from in
fancy to be the subject of her especial
care ara the object of her deepest af-
fectiOn. Her untiring devotion and
wauchfGlTtess won for her a chilG's
trusting love, as womanhoOd advanced,
matured into the strongest attachment
that keen appreciation OF IOTth and
kindness can afford.
She was kind and. sympathetic
friend, ever ready to give aid where
needed, and to speak words of COM
fort and cneer % the afflicted or dis
treSSed.
Those who knew her in her home can
best testify tG the uprightness OF her
life and the purity of her character. 1t
hot ho5. oh o1oo ar
shone most brightly. A AWayS cheerful,
never gloomy; accepting thankfully
every blessing as sent from God and
submitting cheerfully to every affiic-
ton as sent by a wise Providence for
some good.
She cOuId always see a bright side"
no matter how dark the prospect, and
through everything -er faith main
Ca.ned its firm hold on God. She pos
sessed the one great and rare virtue
unselfshness. Her desire in home life
vas 20 lift the burdens rom those she
loved Self was lost sight of in her en-
deavOr to promote the welfare or those
she loved. The closing hours of her life
we're spent in comforting her bereaVed
lOveu ones and in trying to reconcile
them to their loss and to Gods will.
She is missed oh! so sadly! While
we know that. she is infinitely better
off, the hearts that loved her most are
wrung with anguish because no more
will they hear her cheerful words, see
her cheerful face nor receive her kind
words of advice.
May her sweet spirit hover over
those who are left in gloom and sad
ness and guide their way through
clouds and darkness to that beautiful
home where God is gathering HIS chill
drens there again to behold our dear
one radiant with joy everlasting.
ONE WHO LOVED HER.

who, in spite of discouragements anu
uisappOintments, at last succeeded in
persuading the Legislature to deal with
a modicum of fairness towards. the
college, and to appropriate the small
amount OF $4,000 for the dormitories.
They have long been recognized as
being absolutely necessary for the up
building of the college, and to lift it
above being mere high school.
AS the result Of the building of these
uoTmitories, we can next session ex-
pect much larger attendance from ad-
Joining counties. Instead of non-resi-
dent students sent here for their higher
education being obliged to board
around the city at various private
houses, unrestrained by any authority
except their own sweet wills, hereafter
all such students will be required to
live in the dOrmitories where one OF
Cne faculty, assisted by a matrOn will
look after and be able to control their
hours of study and recreation. Parents
can therefore send their daughters
and sons feeling perfectly assured that
not only their mental faculties but also
their physical we'll being and NOR
al surroundings Will be properly looked
after by the school authorities during
the entire. scholastic year, while at the
same time the expenses of board will
0e placed at the lowest possible limits
consistent with furnishing the students
good wholesome food.
The friends of the college and for
that matter all friends Of higher edu-
cation may we'll feel encouraged at the
lT-ure outlook of the college and they
can confidently hope that the next
scholastic year will be the most pros
porous the college has ever before eX-
perienced and that, in the future, each
year will see it more fully appreciat-
e0 ali over the State, while diplomas
held by it's graduates will be acknoWl

fight for the rights of the people Of
this community, took up the matter
and spoke strongly against such treat
