Gone to st. Augustine.

w. Edward Wattles and family
moved to st. Augustine last Monday
where Mr.. Wattles has accepted a
responsible position with the Record
Publishing Company. During the
winter season he will represent his
company at the east coast hotel re-
sorts, and at the end of the season
will be on the local staff of the Daily
Record. In securing Mr.. Wattles
the Record Company has made an
excellent business understanding
that enterprising company has the
reputation for doing regularly. Mr..
Wattles is a most clever all round
newspaper worker, equally at home
in the business, mechanical or editO-
rial departments, but it is as a writer
that he shines with the greatest lus
tire. Palatka people will generally
regret the departure of both Mr..
Wattles and his excellent wife.

CERTIFICATES FOR HEAVEN

United States Senator Burton who
arrived in Topeka, KAN, the other
day, preparatory to entering the state
campaign, has just returned from
Hawaii, where he went as one of a
senatorial investigating committee.
"The Hawaiians are fine people" "
he said, "but they are in hard lines
Just at present. Their condition is
the result of the work of Boston mis-
sionaries. A number of the mission
aries have been over there recently
and have given many of the natives
certificates guaranteed to admit them
to Heaven in exchange for their
lands. A number of the more ignor-
ant natives have been swindled in
this way. Those who have learned
their mistake are naturally trltle
suspicious of all Americans.

MANIAC INVENTORS PLIGHT

Interest deepens in Charles Caw-
ley, the youth of II, inventor of an
air brake that may make him mil
lions, who sits in his prison cell at
Pittsburg, Pa, accused of the Staying
of his mother, two sisters and two
brothers in the most fiendish man
ner.
Practical men who have examined
his invention say it is one of the
most effective they have ever seen,
and that it is likely to supplant those
now in use, even those of the most
approved pattern.
Young Cawley himself, while
denying the atrocious crime with
which he is charged, talks of his
brake with an earnestness and in
telligence that shows him to have
spent long study on it's construction.
He looks forward to the millions he
is sure it will bring him, and does
not in the least dream that the al
tentative of n hangman's moose or q
life in an insane asylum cOnfronts
him.

MYSTERY OF A CANNIBAL ISLE

What became of the reckless crew
who left San Francisco, Cal, Il
month ago to visit Tiburon island,
where the man-euting Seris live, the
crew which intended to kill the can-
nibals and gain the islands treasure?
Arizona Charlie" was at the head
Of the expedition. He is plains
man and a seafaring man as we'll.
When the adventures left San Diego
they wrote that unless their plans
were changed they would land on
riburon island by Sept. %.
"If you do not hear from us in IL
days from that time, wrote Arizona
Charlie" ''you may conclude that we
have failed and been eaten by the
Seris.'
The 10 days have passed and no
word has come from the expedition.
The seamen who know the perils of
the expedition believe that the men
are victims of the cannibals.
Tiburon island is in the Gulf of
California. 1t is inhabited by saw
ages of the most primitive sort. The
last expedition to TiburOn island was
led by a newspaper correspondent
named Robinson, of Phoenix. He
was killed and only two of his party
escaped.

and saw sitting by the edge of the

ceeded in clearing il up. John Hob

name is said to be Lizzie Mitchell,
were sitting on the bridge the night
before. HObson had been drinking

rest, and Hobson lurched over and
fell into the brook. The woman

her. She climbed down and with

partly out of the water. She con-
tinued to cry for help, but her alarm
was not heard.

BIG DEAL C0NSUMMATED.
Salt Lakers Get Control of idaho Land
& Water Company.

A deal OF no small proportions was con-
summated in this city yesterday, when ;:
3. Miner and Frank Knox purchased
from j. H. Lowell and his associates OF
Boise their interest in the Twin Falls
Land & Water company. thereby giving
to Messrs. Knox and Miner and l. b.
Perrine of Blue Lakes, Ida. practically
sole ownership of the project which IS
calculated to reclaim no less than ZIl,g0
acres of fertile land in southern Idaho
within thirty miles of the Nevada line,
by means Of irrigation works from the
Snake riveF. The sum of 81, ooo was paid,
leaving $S1, 400 TO be paid over TO the Ida
hoans at a later date. The interest trans
ferred is a little less than half.
BY means of a main canal seventy
three miles in length, carrying nine feet
of water with width of eighty feet at
the bottom, and lateral bitches, it is pro-
posed to transform the arid valley aver
aging fourteen miles in width into fruit
ful farms. productive orchards and busy
towns Title will be obtained from the
government by the Carey act, and the
land reclaimed viii be sold to settlers on
ten years time at a price of about So an
acre, including perpetual water right ana
voting power in the water Distribution
Illustrative of the opportunities and
possibilities in that part of Idaho, Colonel
Miner stated yesterday that in almost
any part of the valley plow can be run
a distance of twenty miles without TAX
ing the point out of the ground. In one
section of the tract, which is watered by
a small canyon stream, Mr. Perrine, he
added, has 1900 bearing fruit trees Nc
part OF the canal will need to be fiumec
or run on side hill
1t is expected that the canals viii be
ready for conveying water from Snake
river so that the actual work of reclama-
ton of this immense fertile tract can com
mence for the season and crops of 1904

will be a large power plant installed Ii

he probably hid the animal in the
woods before making towards the lake,
as it is supposed he did In that way
he could have thrown the hounds COM
pletely off the scent, reached water
without any. great fatigue, and been
ready for an opportunity to approach
Seattle from the east by way of the
Lake washington shore. The horse
had not been found UP TO a late hour
tonight.
A man answering the description of
Tracy called at the house of c. b. Hill
man, near Kenwood station, tonight at
o'clock, and said he wanted TO use
the telephone. Mrs. Hiiiman was sit
ting near the telephone in the kitchen,
and the man pushed her to one side
and took down the receiver. MrsA Hill
man says he did not call for d number.
She went outside 10 see about her ,

her out and went down the street car

he came into the house he was. carrying
gun by the barrel with the stock
down, but when he left he was carry
ing the gun under his arm with the
Tnuzzle pointed to the ground. The
sheriff's office was notified and a posse.
accompanied by Guard Carson with
the bloodhounds, started out to Hill
mans house at once. The dogs caught
the scent in the kitchen and worked
carefully for about fifty yards toward
Kenwood station, when they began TO
bay, and dashed off towards the lake.
Five men accompanied Guard Carson
and the dogs, five men We're left TO
guard the Khbourne residence, which is
vacant, and another squad was sent
on the street car TO Ballard to patrol

in the vacant Kilbourne house, as the
dogs worked past the house and headed
into the timber. The posse is in charge
of Deputy GOrcoran. and he absolutely
forbade big crowd of armed men tc
follow the squad with the dogs.

PRINCE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED.

II ONE, July "a great sensation
X has been caused here By the ac-
ton of the Vatican authorities
towards the Princess Joseph Rospig-
liosi, an American. Her husband IS
head of an ancient family of clerical
nobility, and his brother is commandant
of the papal noble guard.
On Aug. IS, 1901, Prince Rospigliosl
married here Mrs. Marie Jennings REID
Parkhurst of Washington, the divorced
wife of Colonel Frederick II. Parkhurst

civil, and hence was not recognized by
the Vatican
Princess Rospigliosi, who is now on
the point OF confinement, engaged an
English Blue Sister as a nurse, and
the latter took up her duties. But Car
dinaI Macchi, secretary of apostolic
briefs, hearing of this, forbade the Sis
ter to fulfill her duties, on the ground
that the marriage was non-eXistent
The prince was furious, and eXeI Ted
all his influence to overcome the
scruples of the church, but without
avail. Eventually he was obliged TO
send to England for nurse The in
cident is expected to have important
Developments.
When the news of the marriage of
Mrs. Parkhurst to Prince Rospigiiosi
reached the United States it was as
serted that at first the Vatican refused
TO sanction the marriage because Mrs
Parkhurst was a divorced woman, but
as the prince declared she should be his
wife, with or without the consent of the
church, sanction was finally given
Mrs. ParkhurSt is granddaughter
of Samuel Chester Reid, who command
ed the American privateer, BrigadieI
General Armstrong, in the battle al
Fayal, III the war of 1872. On her moth
er's side she is descended from the
Rowan family of Kentucky About ter
years ago, in Washington, she met
Mr.. Parkhurst, who is a member of the
Maine Legislature, and of General Hills
staff, with the rank of colonel.
The couple were married and lived
| happily for a time in Bangor. They
had two children. Several years age
| they became estranged, and Colone
Parkhurst sued for divorce The di
yorce was granted, and Mrs. Parkhurs
| left the city.
At Bar Harbor she met Prince 10
