Death of Ex.eoy. Mitchell.

Tampa is mourning the death of
her foremost citizen, Hon. Henry l..
Mitchell.
For several months the revered
citizen has been in i'll health but the
immediate cause of his death was
heart failure.
He was splendid type of the self
made man and by his big-hearted-
ness aud rigid honesty and upright
ness fairly grounded himself into the
affections Of the people of Florida,
and his own immediate section that
knew him best loved him best.
He was a member of the legisla-
ture, district attorney, circuit court
judge, supreme judge, governor, clerk
of the circuit court and treasurer OF
Hillsborough county, and whether in
public or private life commanded the
full confidence and esteem of his fell
low-citiZens.
The remains of the Iamented citi
zen will be laid TO rest today.

All day long searching parties have
been securing the swamps and ponds

as to their Disappearance has been

When Carver and the boy left the
Baden home Saturday night both wore
their working suits.
Al incident leads several to believe
the foul play theory.
A small negro boy entered res
taurant and asked for change for $50
in currency. The restaurant prOprie-
tor questioned him, and the boy told
him that q negro on the outskirts
Of the city sent him to have the money
changed. When the negro left the res

THE OSTRICH FARM.
al Visitors to Jacksonville Should
See This nteresting Place.

All NtSttoFS 70
See This Interesting Place.
Many of our people will visit Jack
sonville the early part of next month
TO participate iD the festivities OF
CARNIVAL week, and while the cltl-
ms of the metropolis promise their
country cousins tina they shall have
entertainment of the highest order
while guests of the city, none of the
attractions presented will be more
interesting to the average person than
a visit to the ostrich farm.
The farm is located just east OF the
CITY and is easy accessible via the
street car lines. 1t is situated on a
beautiful bluff of the st. Johns river,
an ideal spot for such an enterprise.
The raising of these plnme birds in
Florida is comparatively a new in
dustry and the promoters are sue
ceeding far beyond their expectations.
1t has grown from a small obscure
business to one of large proportions
and of national interest.
To those who have never seen the
ostrich except in mensgeries after
being dragged over the country foI
years, these well kept birds will mol
be recognized as the same species
The farms are fenc' off into lots OF
various sizes, each accommodating
the birds of different ages. Some o.
the older ones are fully ten fee
in height and weigh as much as 35'
pounds. There are now on the farm
ostriches from three weeks old to thu
sold stagers" of twenty-five. One o
the interesting features of this plac
is the racing ortrich, Oliver w. jr. HI
has g. record of 2:O2, and when hitch
ed to his pneumatic tired buggy pre-
sents a sight worth going many mile
50 see.
There is on exhibition at the shO'
rooms the most beautiful collectiO
of plumes that can possibly be gotte
together anywhere, and the line
made-up goods, such as bOas, fan
pompons, etc, is simply beyond pc
description, and must be seen to
fully appreciated. A woman who CO
look upon the beauties here displays
without fiutter of cOveteOusness
truly void of taste for everythII
beautiful.
NJ. VIM. W. Ford, who recent
took charge of the farm, is maxim

rs carefully looked after by him and

LABOR RUMOR AT CHICAGO
H True IL Means q Strike That Would Be
Truly Gigantic,

Chicago, July 80. The kellogg
strike has taken ON a new phase, so
the papers here say. The Information
al Association of Machinists has made
a declaration of war on all shops that
are doing work for the company. On
the ground that union machinists are
being used as strike b. eakers the word
has been quietly passed along that not
8 hand is TO be lifted by machine men
that will injure the cause of the strik-
ers. No formal orders are to be is
sued calling a strike. Where such
work is discovered the men will quiet
ly lay down their tools and quit.
There will not even be a formal de-
mand that no such work Is to be ham
died
Notwithstanding this the plan is to
continue these tactics until the walk
out embraces eve.y union machinist
in the United States and Canada. The
main fight is to be waged against the
National Metal Trades association, Of
which the Chicago Metal Trades asso-
citation is a branch. The charge is
made that members of this body are
engaged In a conflict with labor organ
izations, and the speeches of d. NJ.
Parry, the national president, are
quoted I'm support of this.

pany being DESTROYS of making repairs
to the floor of one of the magazines
set eight men at work with teams to
take out the powder. Two wagons
had been loaded, and the other was
almost full, when the explosion &C.
CURED. Clarendon Goodwin, the fore
man Of the men who were loading the
powder on the teams, survived, to-
gether with one of his assistants, ANA
dee BoulAnger, and the latter was seen
in the hospital, and explained how
the explosion occurred.
He said that after the teams had
been loaded it was discovered that a
can of o-glycerine which was stored
in the magazine was leaking. Good
win picked up what he thought was a
jug of water, and began pouring it on
to the nitrO-glycerine with the idea of
diluting it and washing it up As soon
as the fluid from the jug struck the
floor he found that it was nitric acid.
The floor at once began to smoke, and
when the men saw it they rushed from
the building, but had not gone ten feet
when the explosion occurred.
The surrounding property was swept
as if a small volcano had broken forth
In its midst. Every house within 200
yards collapsed. Trees were blown
down, the grass within 100 yards
moved as if By lawn mower, while
bricks from the two magazines were
hurled far across the river and all
over the neighborhood.
Two hundred va: DIS down the river
from the second magazine the rescuers
found the bodies of four little boys
who were about to take swim. A
fifth member Of the party was in the
river when the explosion occurred and
escaped without injury. One of these
boys was decapitated. A path fifty
feet wide and 800 yards long was
torn through a nearby grove of trees.
The money loss is about $4,000.

In similar vehicle were Lady Dudley

AT Recess an extraordinary incident
occurred. A poor old woman ap-
preached the queen with a petition for
the remission OF the remainder of a

st. Paul, July 30.-Judge Kelly, Of

junction against the striking plumbers
prayed for by the McQuillan-Dwyer
Plumbing and Heating company, Holt
& Dahlby and Joseph A. Hurley. The
judge upholds the right Of laborers to
form unions and to quit their en-
ployment in a body for the purpose Of
compelling their employers to grant
demands for higher wages.
Labor unions have a right to carry
on picketing so long as they do so
peaceably" In these words Judge Kav-
anagh took position in conflict with
that Of Judge Holdom, who maintains
that picketing shall consist of watch
Ing, much as a broker observes a stock

Kavanagh announced that he would
refuse to commit men to jail upon affi-
davits that they had violated an in
