Mr.. Woodrow to Go Abroad.

Mr.. ID. = Woodrow leaves in about
ten DAYS for a business trip to Amster-
dam 10 see the directors of the Hol-
land Phosphate company, for which
concern he acts as manager IN Flor
ida Mr.. Woodrow's wife aud daugh-
ter will accompany him.
The Holland Phosphate company
lately leased their property to Mr. I'd
ward Holder, who subleased it to
Messrs. Buttgenbach & Go. The Hoi-
land Phosphate company succeeded
the Netherlands Phosphate company
owning about fifteen hundred acres oil
select land at Fitzgerald in Her
pando county. The deposits on THIS
property are very rich and OF a high
grade. but deep in the ground, ana
water has to be contended with.
Both the Netherlands and Holland
companies have tried pumping this
water with centrifugal pumps of large
capacity, but with little success, As tht
rainy seasons of late years have bC"h
very heavy and unreliable in th,lr
time OF coming. IL il believed, ho"-
ever, that the phosphate can be n,ined
successfully with dredge, and lao
doubt this will bc tried toy A"~-re.
Ruttgenbach q Go.
While abroad Mr. WOod.oN Will
endeavor to interest capital with The
view Of turning into a stock farm the
body of timber lands he has just a.
ouired for the Central Lumb,r COM
pany. This company owns six thou
sand acres Of heavily timbered lands
between Ocala and Silver Springs,
and the whole tract is eNctllently WA
tered, and it is Mr.. Wo ,drow's lnten-
tion as soon as the timber l. cut
from the land to fence it, cultivate H.
and use il a. stock farm, planting
the velvet bean, which now has such
a great reputation As feed, cassava,
peanuts, potatoes and oIherIoot crops
The idea is a good one, and We hope /
I hat Sir. Woodrow will succeed lulIy 1

THE CUBAN PRESS PRAISES
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.
Cubsns Are Very Frank in Stating
That They Had No Idea That the
Flag Of the United States Would
Ever Be Hauled Down

We are in receipt of late issue cf
the Havana Post and it says that al
most all Of the papers of the Cuban
press have been most pronounced dur
ing the last two or three days in their
praise of the United States for the
way that the Intervention ha~ teen
carried out. Some of What were clar-
acterized "a the most rabid anti-Amer-
lean papers are now coming out with
the most complimentary editorial
praising the United States and show
ing the gratitude which j. felt for the
United States has kept faith with the
island.
1t seems from the tone Of the papers
that they never fully realized that
they were to be freed hy the United
States until they saw the Cuban flag
raised over Moro.

the paper, most bitterly opposed to
anything American, came out few
days ago with very strong editorial
on the subject of the American flag.

him for a member Of the Legislature
from this county, subject to the ratifi-

Mr.. Baskin is an exceedingly up

not believe it will have occasion TO re-

Dell Valentine Has No More Kansas
Day Banquet Tickets.

Dell Vanentine is preparing to be the
most unpopular man in Kansas for the
next two weeks. AS secretary of the
Kansas Day club he is in a position
where he will have to turn down several
hundred prominent Republicans who
want to attend the banquet. The num-
ber of applications already far surpass-
es the limit of Representative hall and
they are still coming in every mail at
the rate of 40 or so a day. Among them
are many who are recognized as leaders
in state politics, but they will have TO
stay out unless they can buy ticket
from some one else.
Five hundred plates will be laid. Even
this number will make it so crowded
that there won't be room tS eat very
much, but as most of the crowd will be
there to hear the speeches they may not
care. The banquet feature promises to
be unusually fine, however.
The 500 mark has already been passed
and Secretary Valentine has a. long list
of names that have come in since. As
fast as they come they are listed in
regular order. and the money sent is
sealed up in separate envelops. 1t is
possible that there may be a few places
vacant caused by holders of tickets not

sHERIFFs ARE HERE.
Some of Them Don't Know Whether
They Are Officers or Not.

The State Sheriffs' association is
meeting today at the court house to
elect officers for the coming year and
incidentally to discover some one who
can lead them out of the muddle they
are in by reason of the biennial election
law.
The sheriffs want to know whether
they are the sheriffs or whether the
county coroners are the sheriffs. Sheriff
Cook has been trying to settle the mat
ter in his own mind. Sheriff St Glare
Guthrie, from Marshall county, said
this morning: Il think the sheriffs have
made a great mistake in this matter
and in urging or recommending the ap-
pointment of a sheriff in order to bring
about a test case. I think that we will
lose. 1t seems from the decisions that
have been made which bear upon our
case that we will be out the first thing
we know. OF course all of us sheriffs
do not agree. Some think we have done
right We can wait and see. 1 hope we
