TomOka River Filling with Hyacinths

Water hyac nths have secur, d such
a strong hold in the waters of the
Tomoka rs to seriously impede the
pleasure launches. and, unless some
steps are taken to qucll their growth
and spread, this beautiful stream
will soon be as completely choked
as the lIlllsboro was recently.
Henry Van Dorm, approaching the
gravity Of the situation, requests that
all launch owners meet him at
Ormond Sunday morning at and
proceed to the Tomoka where it is
proposed to drag the hyacinths from
certain sections and, with the aid of
oil, burn them Mccoy Bros. have
agreed to be ON hand and help.

Palmetto Club Meeting.

Owing to the rain Thursday there
was not the usual attendance at the
meeting of the Palmetto Club.
An instrumental solo on the piano
by Miss Ella Willaume, "Ecstacv.
was the opening number Of the pro-
gram, and so rapt with interest to
strains of sweet music became the
audience that they were oblivious
to the 6erceness of the storm with
out.
Mrs. G.. B. Seaman then read a
highly entertaining paper on The
Change in the Feminine Ideal Since
1900" which received the deepest
attention during IT'S perusal. The
production showed deep study and
careful preparation of the subject it
50 cleverly portrayed, and the multi
tude of changes that have taken
place in the manner of living then
and at the present time.
"A Winter Lullaby, vocal solo
by Mrs. Harriet Willaume, was
highly enjoyed by all, and her sweet
voice evoked many Hattering en-
comiums.
Miss katherine Thorpe favored
the audience with a choice and de
lightful article on the successful
work accomplished by the Audubon
Society
g Bits Of Travel in Norway" by
Miss Robinson, giving a description
OF a visit she made to that country
ended the program. As her auditors
proceeded with her during the read
ing OF her intensely interesting wan
derlngs from place to place, so vivid
and realistic did she paint her expe-
rlcnCes that all seemed to feel as if
they were the real nomads who were
making the trip instead Of the tray
eler to whom they were listening.

Fireman's Benefit.

The play arabian Nights" presented
at Van Werden's opera house on Tues
day evening by Leon amateurs under
the direction of Frank w. jerks, for the
benefit of the Leon fire department.,
was greeted by large and appreciative
audience, the gross receipts being
$12S.65. The fire boys received SO per
cent Of the net receipts, their share be-
ing $49.35, the contract with Mr.. jerks
being that the fire company was to re-
ceive so per cent of the net receipts,
the other half going to Mr.. jerks who
drilled the performers and worked up
the entertainment. The actors all ae-
quilted themselves in a very creditable
manner and it is the expression of many
of our regular theatregoers that the
performance was far superior to that of
many travelling companies Of profess
sionals who visit this city. While the
sum realized by the fire department
will not buy new engine it makes a
good start for such fund and it is pro-
posed to add to it by other methods un-
til . new engine can sbe purchased.
The old engine has paid for itself a
hundred times over, and the town is
badly in need Of a new engine, keeping
the old one for reserve in case of an
emergency. Some of these nights Leon
will be visited by big fire and then
everyone will say "why didn't we buy
another engine" A new engine would
save its cost in few minutes at fire,
and while we all know that the
town needs a new engine, the question
is how to raise the funds with which to
purchase it.

lit WAS A HUNG JURY
The Trial of w. D. Elsey at Princeton
for the Murder of S. w. Wallace
Results in a Hung jury.

The trial Of Dan Elsey, of .Lineville,
for the killing of S. w. Wallace at Line
vile on Sept. 23rd last, was held at
Princeton, Mo-, last week, the killing
having occurred just over the line in
Missouri. The trial was commenced on
Tuesday morning in the Circuit Court
and the evidence was all in and the
case given to the jury on Wednesday
evening at 9o'clock. The jury remain
ed out until Friday morning when being
unable to agree on verdict they were
discharged and the case will have to be
tried over again.
A large number Of witnesses were in
attendance from Lineville, the principal
witnesses for the state being Mrs. Wal
lace and her son-in- law, Walter Work
man, who were both eye witnesses Of
the tragedy. There Testimony did not
differ materially from the report Of the
case which was published in THE RE-
PoRTHR at the time of the killing.
Dan Elsey, the accused, who was city
marshal at Lineville at the time Of the
shooting took the stand in his own be-
half and gave his version Of the killing.
He testified that he fired the fatal shot
in self defense and related in detail the
circumstances up to the time of the
shooting. That when he shot Wallace
had already struck him over the arm
with the club, breaking his arm, and at
the moment he fred Wallace had the
club raised with both hands and was in
the act of striking him again when he
fred the first shot. Witnesses had been
summoned on both sides to testify to
the character of both Wallace and
Elsey, but by agreement Of the attor-
neys neither side used this testimony.
Atsr the shooting of Wallace, Elsey
drove to Corydon and gave himself up
to the sheriff of Wayne county, insisting
that he was on Iowa soil when he shot,
but the coroners jury decided that the
killing was done in Missouri, so Elsey
went to Princeton and gave bond for
his appearance when his trial came on,
and since time has been living quietly
at his homo in Lineville. Tho grand
jury returned an Indictment against
Elsey charging him with murder in the
second degree.
The case against Elsey was prosecut.
ed by attorneys Ed Hyde and Martin
Reed, Of Princeton, and Harber 8
Knight Of Trenton, while Elsey was do
fended BY G. Taylor Wright, Of Lineville
and Hubbell Bros, of Trenton.
| 1t is reported that the jury stood al
tho last nine for acquittal and three fol
conviction.

new COUNTY OFFICERS
Will be Several New Officials in the
Court House with the New year,
--New Officers and Deputies.

One week from next Monday will
mark the beginning of the terms of
Office of the candidates elected on the
county ticket last fall. The law speci-
fies that the terms Of the new officers
shall begin on the first Monday in Jan
uary at which time the board of super
visors meet, and one of their first duties
is to approve the bonds and administer
the oath Of Office to the new officials.
This year there are no officials re-elect-
ed, and there will be an entire change
in all the republican Office holders, the
hold-over officials all being democrats. !.
In the clerks office S. W. Keller re-
tires after having served four years,
and is succeeded by A. s. Tharp, of
Leon. During the four years Mr.. Keh-
Ter has occupied the clerks Office he
has made a record as one Of the most
competent and accommodating officials
who ever held this Office, and he retires
with the good will of the members Of
tho bar and the citizens in general
He will remain in Leon until the first Of
March whom he will move to the fine
farm which he owns in Franklin town
ship, and become farmer again, vo-
cation which he followed successfully
until coming to Leon seven years ago to
accept the Office of deputy sheriff under
Sheriff Wolever. A. s. Tharp, the new
clerk is no stranger to the people Of
Leon and Decatur county, his whole life
having been spent in this city. He is q
splendid penman and will no doubt
make an efficient official. He has se-
leeted John Burns, who has been deputy
under Clerk Kehler as his deputy.
In the auditors office James f. Gill
retifes after having served four years
and Is succeeded by II. G. Scott, Of
Bloomington township. Mr.. Gill came
to Leon comparative stanger to the
people of Leon four years ago, but he
soon ingratiated himself in their good
will and has made good record in the
Office, Notwithstanding he was bitterly
opposed by strong faction Of his own
party. He will remain in the Office for
a couple of weeks to assist auditor
Scott in learning the business of the
Office, and will then move to Garden
Grove, whore he owns town property
and farm which joins the town, and
exp ects to farm the coming year. Mr.
Scott has selected as his depsty ]. v
Lemley, Of Lamont, and while we have
not the pleasure Of his acquaintance we
hear him we'll spoken Of as competent
and popular man. The new auditor is
