Serious Crime Attempted.

Herman Jameson II year old
colored boy recently released from
the penitentiary made an attempt to
outrage a little II year old white
girl on the Heights last Friday. He
had seized her and was taking her to
some bushes when her cries and that
of her little brother caused the brute
to release the girl and run. The
children were enabled to give pret-
ty accurate description of the negro,
and with this to work on Policeman
Sanford on Saturday arrested young
Jameson, who was positively iden-
tilted by the children when taken be-
fore them.
Jameson was committed to Jail to
await trial for an attempted criminal
assault. He was but recently re-
leased from the penitentiary where
he served a six months term for
breaking and entering the Florida
Southern freight warehouse. He
was once arrested for murder, and
though there was moral certainty of
his guilt, evidence was lacking to
convict. He is n dissolute, degener-
ate negro, and it is hoped he will get
the full benefit of the law.

Death at McMeeI<in.

News of the death of Mrs. J. G.
Darlington of McMeekin reached
here last week too late for publca-
ton. Her death occurred on the 23d
ult., after lingering illness, and the
funeral, held the following day, was
attended by a vast concourse of peo-
pie all of whom mourned the loss of
this noble, God fearing woman. 1t
is only recently that Mr.. and Mrs.
harrington celebrated the 5Oth ami
versary of their marriage and the
death of the loving, faithful wife
comes as severe blow to Mr.. Bar
rington. Their fifty years of welded
life was one long courtship and there
was never a jar in all those years.
Mrs. Darlington was faithful
member of the Baptist church. Her
home was the home of the travelling
preacher and there was open hearted
hospitality for them always.
She is survived by her husband, j.
c. harrington, an old and popular
citizen of the county and at one time
II prosperous orange grower and
nurseryman. Also brother, DIR. w.
w. johnson of Hawthorne, besides
many relatives.
The funeral was at Ocwilla church,
and the occasion was one for neigh
borhood mourning, for all had lost u
true friend-one who loved God and
her neighbors as herself.

ment that the resolution should not

The Drane bill, providing for the
distribution of the fine and forfeiture
fund by assessed valuations instead

Tuesday by vote of Is to 10. Sena-
tor Stockton made vigorous speech
against the bill, some Of his remarks
verging upon what is called unparli-
amentary. He said that the bill
was rumored to be an administration
measure, and that Senators who
would vote for it would do some
thing for their counties which they
would not do for themselves. This
bill was considered last week and
was defeated by close vote. Scna-
tor Stockton, in his desire to clinch
the matter, moved that the vote be
reconsidered.
With only slight amendments the
senate has passed the Peacock Good

LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The session of the legislature for
1903 will pass into history today. 1t
has done those things it ought not to
have done and left undone many
things it ought to have done. But
that is the way with legislatures.
SO let 'er go. The past week has
been busy one and a great deal of
work has been accomplished.
Mr.. Gibbons antitrust bill has
been killed. The senate did it.
There seemed too much of personal
spite in it and the measure was
largely grand play to the gallaries.
The people do not want cOmbina.-
tions of capital to stitle competition.
But no case was made out that such
II combination existed in Florida;
at least the senate could not see it.
Mr.. McNamee's turpentine inspec-
ton measure was another bill that
got raped. The bill did provide a
good Job for some patriot, and if that
was its object, the bill was perfect.
But the tupentine operators didn't
want it and the House thought we
already had a sufficient number of
patriots for revenue, so they sat on
the bill to the tune of 53 to 6.
The House passed Mr.. Gibbons
Jacksonville charter bill. 1t may
meet the approval of the city and it
NAV not. The Senate has the meas
ure now and there is likely to be a
compromise that will satisfy the
Jacksonville factions.
The House did not concur in the
senate bill to award $1,000 to the
WaiIes-Beard combination for prov
ing and collecting the Indian War
claims. Instead the House passed a
substitute cutting the amount to
$4,000. This substitute the senate
would not accept. Then there was a
conference of the bodies, but both
were obstinate Up to the time of
going to press the chances of Wales
getting any money out of this legis-
iature was exceeding slim. So near,
and vet so far. Later the Senate re-
ceded from its refusal to accept the
House substitute of $25,OOO, but 1t
was not known whether this amount
would be accepted by the claimants.
Last week Senator McCreary of
Gainesville introduced bill which
has been pronounced one ofsthe most
important in the present legislature.
The bill provides for a text book
commission and u complete and uni
form system or series of school books
to be used in all counties of the
state. The commission would Sc
lect and purchase the books, and
lob on the commission would afford
a fine opportunity for honest men to
display their patriotism. The bill
was a big one and in the hurry may
not have passed, as it was intro
duced too late for the proper cOnsld-
Grafton of so important a measure.
Senator Kinks bill increasing the
governors salary to 5000 has pass
ed the senate. 1t may slip up in the
House, but should it pass the House
there is the further peril of the
Governors veto. See!
There is no one in the House who
can quite equal Mr.. Wall in stirring
up breeze that blows nobody good
or bad. He occupied the time of the
House Tuesday with a resolution to
cut off all committee clerks for the
remainder of the session. 1t was
Jumped upon on all sides and amend
ments poured In to exclude certain
committee clerks. Mr., st, Clair
Abrams of Lake finally struck a

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont


In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper
was among the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in April During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim. he encountered much bad
water, which, together with the severe
hear, gave him a very severe diarrhoea
which it seemed almost impossible to
check, anu along in June the case became
so bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one small
bottle Of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given him while he was
ro ling about on the ground in great
agony, and in few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect Of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That one
little bottle worked a complete cure, and
he cannot help but feel grateful. The
