Not Entirely Lovely.
From the Gainesville Sun.


Everything is not harmonious i'm politi-
cal circles in Duval county. Ex-Mayor
BOwden, who will he debarred from hav-
ing his name placed on the ticket 10 bc
voted in the Democratic primaries on ac-
count of having been an independent
candidate for the legislature in 1900, will
appeal to the people To support him for
senator at the election in November.
There is no doubt but that the rule of t..e
state committee permitting only those 10
participate in the primaries who voted
the entire Democratic ticket III 1900
is causing considerable dissatisfaction
throughout the state, and especially in
Duval county, and all effort will bc made
10 have the committee meet and modify
the rule. 1t has been suggested that
those who voted for the congressional and
state candidates ON the Democratic ticket
two years ago BE- permitted to participate
in the primaries this year. \ policy of con-
ciliatiOn will he much more conducive TO
the welfare of the Democratic party than
one engendering strife, and if a mistake
has been made 10y the state committee il
should be corrected. 1t will certainly do
no harm tn reassemble the committee and
discuss the matter.

Good News For Florida.

The Florida Indian war claim has
passed successfully through its most try
ing ordeal, that of conference. The bill
containing it was presented to the senate
Monday afternoon, and passed with little
or no debate. An effort will at once be
made to bring up the measure in the

it will pass, carrying with it the payment
of claim pending for forty-four years.

who is employed by the Delaware &,

TRANSFER MEMS TROUBLES.
What the Beautiful" Snow Drifts
Did to John Booth and Stephen

The snowdrifts that blocked the road
way between here and Crystal Lake,
besides being u mountain of the So
called "beautiful' are source of
trouble to teamsters. If you want to
verify the truth of this ask John Booth,
the truclSman. or stephen Whitmore,
OF Jermyn. The pair are hauling the
abandoned gravity passenger cars
which are to be furnished for campers
use around the shores of crystal
lake. Mr.. Booth, who is transferring
the cars, purchased by Mr.. Moon, made
n trip Saturday and when he reached
the top of one OF the hills he decided
to cut across lots. He just started his
cut when the weight of the car broke
through q sluiceway and the load sank
down leaving the wagon and car al
most covered with snow. Booth and
his men had to dig their way out and
at times they could scarcely see the
horses heads. Whitmore gave Booth
the laugh when he heard of the eX-
perience and made some boastful brags
about how he could draw one of his
cars safely through the snow. He tried
it, but that's all he did. The car is
stalled ut some point between here and
Crystal Lake, so is Booth, and both are
likely to stay there until the snow, like
the ice cream before the summer girl
takes u sneak. Now Booth says Car
bondale is good enough for him in the
winter time. TO Honesdale he says
with the county except on Fourth of
July or haying time.
