SUCCESSFUL FAIR.
Presbyterian Church Ladies Accumu.
late Snug Sum of Money.

From Saturdays Daily.
From one o'clock yesterday afternoon
until nine o'clock last evening people
passed in and out of the guild room of
| the Presbyterian church where the
Ladies' Aid society of the church was
holding a church benefit fair. The yari-
Gus booths were presided over by the
chairmen of the respective divisions of
the society as follows: Mrs. Geo. Hoerr
had the New England dinner booth: Mrs.
Hengstler presided over the booth where
candy, salted peanuts, and stuffed dates
were sold. Mrs. DR.. Eberhart managed
, the sale of linens beautifully worked by
the ladies and donated for the benefit of
the church. Mrs. w. A. Funk had charge
of the Ladies' Home Journal booth. Here,
too, were sold many fancy little articles
that the ladies had made, including some
fine water color work by Miss Workman
OF Ripon, Wis, friend OF Mrs. Walter
Brooks. Mrs. David Evans sold cakes,
doughnuts, cookies, etc. Aprons, towels
and similar articles were sold at another
booth by Mrs. Fl. Alleman.
Mrs. Orange Little, president of the
society, estimates that the profits of the
fair will net about 5000. The money
will be used to pay for the new sidewalk
and to carpet the auditorium of the
church anew. During the coming year the
ladies hope to clear by suppers and en-
tertainments about $500 to be the
nucleus of fund for church parson-
age.

NEW HOME.
The Citizens Fire Association to Have
New and Elegant Quarters.
From Saturdays Daily.

From saturdays DAILY.
The Citizens Fire Insurance associa-
ton has leased the front rooms on the
first floor of L. P. Hunts new building
now being erected on Jackson street. 1t
is somewhat indefinite as to just when
the building will be ready for occu-
pancy, but with good weather for the
next two weeks to allow for the en-
closing of the structure it should be
possible for the association to get pos
session about the first of February.
The Citizens Fire association has be-
come a permanent institution and has
prospered as it deserves. 1t was organ
lied at time when the old line fire COM
panies were exacting exorbitant premium
rates, and by careful management and
reasonable rates it has built up an ex-
tensive business, covering every part of
Minnesota and has been instrumental in
forcing old line companies to revise their
schedules and materially reduce their
premium rates. This is true not only as
it applies to Mankato, but the forced
reduction has become general over the
state, and the Citizens association is en-
titled to the credit for cheaper fire
insurance.
The business men and residents OF
Mankato have shown their appreciation
of the home company's good work by
patronizing it literally, and no doubt the
local business of the association will be
largely increased when the new quarters
are occupied. 1t deserves the patronage
of every business house in the city.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life The man or woman who
is subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load OF misery
and wretchetness that is terrible TO think
Of
Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition Of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated the whole nervous system IS weak
ened. and headaches result. II the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deraneed, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
TEN must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great recons,uctant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering as follows:-

all that morning he was no farther away
from his house than the adjoining lot.
Mr.. Fletcher, called again to the stand
by the state, said he had talked with
the defendant on the sidewalk in front
of the Oleander saloon on Sept. 90, and
asked Klugherz to walk up the street
with him. This was shortly before the
time the defendant was taken into Gus
tody. Mr.. Fletcher also testified that
the defendant after his arrest remarked
that he could not be the man who COM
mitted the forgery as he was at work
in GAINESVILLE on Sept. II. When MIR.
Fletcher was asked regarding a state
ment that he was alleged to have made
to the effect that on first meeting Klug
herr he was not sure that he had the
right party until Klugherz betrayed him
self by flushing up when he recognized
Mr.. Fletcher, Mr.. Fletcher said he had
never made any such remark.
Cashier w. w. Davis, Jr., called back
to the stand, testified that on Sept. 20,
the defendant after being arrested stat
ed that he was at work in the cooper
shop at GAINESVILLE on Sept. IL. Sheriff
Williams gave the same testimony, say
ing that this statement was made at the
Savings Bank in his own presence.
Mr.. Klugherz when on the stand had
said that he did not make that state
ment. His real statement on that oc-
casion was that he did not know but
that he was at GAINESVILLE on the eleventh
but his accounts would answer that
question beyond doubt.
This practically completed the taking
of testimony. About five o'clock court
took a recess to nine o'clock this morn

value of the animal if it was not de-
Gvered over to him.

STRONG OLD AGE
AN OCTOGENARIAN WHO USES DR..
WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
Mr.. Kindred Says They Cured His
rheumatism and That They Give
Him Strength.

When old people are stricken with
greatly the chances of successful treat
ment are diminished by the natural de-
bility due to advanced age. This fact
gives vital importance TO the case of Mr..
Amos Kindred, of No. 81 Jacques ave-
nue., Worcester, Mass, who III his eighty
fourth year is enjoying good health and
attributes it largely to Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. Not only
does he use them as q tonic, a purpose
for which they have no equal, but he
was cured by them Of an acute disease,
as related in the following interview
Mr.. Kindred says:
'.Some time ago | was q sufferer from
infammatory rheumatism. 1t was in
my hands, legs and back, and my flesh
was very sensitive. My hands were
badly swollen, but my back troubled me
most and sometimes was so bad that /
could hardly get about. Once when l
stopped over to pick up something,
/ found could not straighten up. For
two weeks after that [ could not stand

and neither doctors nor any medicines l

worse and my back grew so bad that l
could not even turn over i'll bed without
help.
''Then 1 tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. They fitted my
case exactly and cured me. have had
no return of the rheumatism since then.
[ still take the pills occasionally, for a
person of my age requires tonic now
and then, and find that nothing gives
ME the strength that they do"

Arc Grateful.

The officers and members of Co.
"D" Florida State Troops, desire to
thank the citizen@pf Palatka who so
generously contributed to the fund
raised several weeks ago for inciden-
tai camp expenses. The money so
collected enabled the quartermaster
to feed the company during quite an
unavoidable delay in supplies from
the commissary department.
Thanks are also given the ladies
of Palatka and Others for donations
of edibIes for the entertainment on
the evening previous to the encamp-
ment, and especially to Mrs. Albro
and Miss Rosa Coke who remember
led the company, while it was in
camp, with Il box of as fine cake as
was ever put up.
The boys are also grateful to Jack
Finn of this city and Col. Jas. E.
Alexander of DeLand for several
boxes of perfectos, which were great
~ enjoyed.

Nothing Doing.

The News is frequently asked to
tell what it knows concerning the
newly incorporated company which
made such splurge early in the
spring about having new and
modern line of steamers on the Ock-
lawaha river by the coming season.
That's easy, for
The News doesn't know thing
about the company, except that it
has not as yet laid the keel to sim
gle boat
Capt. Ed. Lucas is the only Ockla-
waha river navigator who is doing
any thing in this line. He is build
new and magnificent boat; a par
tial description of which will be
found in another column.
The newly Incorporated company
was organized with capital of $40,-
900, only $1,000 of which was sched-
uled as paid in. The promoters of
the new line may have been doing
something but there is no tangible
evidence of their work on public ex-
Inhibition.

Mrs. Frances Z. Rogers, mother of
j. T. Rogers, postmaster at Drayton
Island, died at O'Clock last Tuesday
evening. She was In failing health
for a month or more but did not take
to her bed until the day before her
death.
Mrs. Rogers came to Drayton Is
land from Portland, Maine, some 20
years ago, and had resided there con-
tinuously since. She was n years
of age, and a lady highly esteemed
by all her neighbors Mrs. Rogers
had always expressed wish to be
buried at her former home in Maine,
but as this seems impracticable at
this time, her son determined to in
ter the remains at Welaka and at a
future date remove themt to the north,
where she had sister and other rel
atives living. The interment took
place at Welaka yesterday.

Will Sne Crescent CITY.

Horace Prior the big stock dealer
of Lake Como was in the city Tues
day for the purpose of making ar
engagements to bring suit against the
town of Crescent City for damages
sustained in the loss of some hogs
which were impounded there and un-
lawfully sold.
Said Mr.. Prior. ~ am not making
war on Crescent City's hog ordinance.
| want to see it enforced. 1t is a
beautiful place and one the people
in all parts of the county should take
pride in. To allow hogs to wander
about the streets would kill the
place. But there is right and
wrong way to do things. Some of
my hogs got into the outskirts of the
town last week and these were put
in the pound. My representative
rendered the marshal the amount of
pound fees, which he refused and
then proceeded to sell the hogs with
out giving due notice of the sale by
advertising. / do all in my power to
keep my stock away from the town,
want them impounded if they trans
gress, but l do not propose to submit
quietly to this sale without the town
giving me the opportunity to redeem
them, or to scorn my right to redeem
when the money is rendered. My at
torney has been instructed to bring
suit against the town of Crescent
City in the sum of 800 damages.

Lucas, New Boat.

There is something doing in the
shipbuilding line in Palatka as an
inspection of Capt. W. M. Boyd's
ship yard will show. First there is a
large force of men engaged in build
ing the new steamer which is to ply
the picturesque Ocklawaha river this
winter on Lucas New Line. The
boat is to be an improvement on any
thing yet planned for navigating this
tortuous stream. 1t is stauncher in
construction than anything yet at
tempted for this river, in that its
depth of hold is fully two feet greater.
The hull Of the new boat is now
nearly completed, and Capt. Boyd
has EVIDENTLY exercised great care
| in the selection of his timber. The
boat is So feet in length with % feet
breadth of beam, and when complet-
ed Capt. Ed. Lucas will have boat
that he and jim Beale can crow loud
over. 1t will take a large force of
men to get the boat ready for COM
mission by the 18th of January, the
usual date for the opening of the
tourist season on the Ocklawaha
river, and with this new boat the
Lucas line ought to handle q big
| business.
Capt. Boyd is also building % foot
naptha launch for Hilburn d Yer
trees, which will be completed with
in the next month. This boat is to
be fitted with a Al horse power Eagle
engine and will have speed of from
eight to nine miles an hour. The
owners will use it as q pleasure craft
and TO get to and from their large
vegetable farm at RollestOn.
The launch Spray is also being re-
fitted with new and commodious
cabin at Boyd's and when finished
will have all the swell appearance of
IA new launch. The Spray is to ply
with pleasure parties between this
city and San Mateo during the win
ter.
In addition to the above work Capt.
Boyd has just completed a naptha
launch for Jacksonville parties which
wss delivered last week. He is also
building several neat row boats for
private parties.

M. f. Bishop, special commission
er to Florida from the st. Louis
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, who
is now seeking to arouse Florida to
the necessity of making an exhibit
at the coming big fair, was in Palat-
ka last Tuesday interviewing our
business men.
Mr.. Bishop hopes to see some action
taken to secure a state exhibit at a
meeting which has been called for
the organization of State Board of
Trade at Jacksonville in November.
He is also interesting boards of coun-
ty commissioners in the various coun-
ties to take steps for county exhibits.
The counties of Lee, Manitee, Hills
borough and Polk have already taken
the initiative. Mr.. Bishop states
that $40, 1000 is already in sight for a
state exhibit and that with a little
effort the state can raise all the mon
ev needed to have creditable repre-
sentation.
Putnam county should take an in
| terest in this matter.

Concerning 90. cd ;,

The Guards met and drilled in the
Armory on Tuesday night end while
the attendance was not what it
should have been there were enough
in line to make a pretty good show
ing, and Tho drill was as perfect as
it could be.
The tentage of the company, in
Guiding the shelter or puppy tents,
has been spread out in the Armory
since Friday undergoing a thorough
drying before packing away. The
boys now have the Krag-Jorgensen
magazine rifle the Same as used by
the regular army, besides all camp
equipage necessary for real bust
ness. Should occasion require it
this company could go into actual
service prepared to hold its own-the
day of tin-soIdiering with Co. I'D" is
thing of the past, they are the real
article now.
Out of the twenty-four companies
in camp at Jacksonville the Palatka
boys were the only ones having cots
to sleep on. 1t might not have been
strictly regulation, BUTT was at least
good Judgment on the part of Captain
Calhoun in looking out for the COM
fort OF his men, for during the last
five days of the encampment the
weather was rainy and disagreeable
and, while others We're sleeping Oh
thin straw ticks on the damp earth
and grimly humning, This amt
nothin' like home" our boys were
reposing high and dry and singing
in gleeful mood 81 don't belong to
the regulars, I'm only volunteer. "
"But, wasn't that feeding at the Of
ficers mess Il rotten proposition "
an officer here was heard to eXclaim.
1T surely was" seconded another
who continued: "And the caterer
who served such nauseOus stuff
claims to be the best in Jackson
vile! Well, / would hate to see the
worst. Why, the enlisted men Jared
much better than we did throughout
the entire time, as far as eating is
concerned The only decent meals |
got were those taken with the COM
pany, and they We're thoroughly
cooked AND nicely served"
Old Uncle Charlie Jones was the
cook for Company "D" on this trir
and better man for the position
could not have been selected; what
ne does not know about the business
is not worth the while trying to find
out.
1t is said by many who saw the
boys pass in review before the gov
ernor that their line was perfect, not
being eXcelled by the regulars who
headed the parade, and was one o.
the few companies that drew the at
tention of the governor himself by
being pointed out.
