held it's February meeting at the res
idence of Mrs. Chas. J. Rogero, on

enjoyable features of the afternoon.
At the conclusion of the business

hour was spent, this being a lately
adopted custom of the chapter.
The famous red, white and red of
the Confederacy furnished the color
motif for the dainty refreshments,
which were served in three courses,
The last course was especially pretty

Honor For Col. de Montmollin.

D. Upon the recommendation of Gov
ernor Broward, Lieut.. General Adna
r. Chatfee, grand marshal of the in
augural parade at Washington, d.
g., March 4th, has selected Col. H.
Nj. de Montmollin of this city as one
of his aides-de-camp for the occasion.
The other member of the staff from
Florida is Col. Porter, chief of ord
nance, F. S. T.
Col de Montmollin is everywhere
regarded as one of the best posted
military men in Florida. He was
commissary-general of Florida on the
staff of Gov. Jennings, and has been
retained for the same honor on the
staff of Gov. BrOward.
His selection is not only an honor
to the colonel, but also to his home
city. When seen concerning his ap-
pointment, Col. de Montmollin stat
ed that he fully appreciated the COM
pliment that had been paid him, and
that it was his purpose to attend.
There is no doubt among Col. de
Montmollin's friends here but that
he will reflect credit upon the state
which he is to represent on this great
est of American gala occasions-the
Inauguration of a president of the
United States.

Will Practice OsteopAthy.

DR.. H. E. Douglass of DesMoines,
Iowa, is now settled here for the
practice of osteopathy. The doctors
office and residence is at the corner
of Fifth and Orange streets, diago-
nally across the street from the high
school.
OsteOpathy is system of treat
ment of disease without the use of
drugs, but is not faith cure, neither
is it a system of mental or divine
healing. 1t is a method of treating
diseases of the human body without
the use of drugs, by means of ma
nipulation applied to various nerve
ceters, chiefly those along the spine,
with view to inducing free circu-
lation of the blood and lymph, and
an equal distribution of the nerve
forces. Special attention is also
given to the REIMBURSEMENT of any
bones, muscles, or ligaInents not in
normal position.
The system was formulated in
1874 by DR.. A. T. Sill, who reasoned,
among other things, that "a natural
flow of blood is health and disease
is the effect of local or general dis
turbance of blood" He also held
that if the bones, muscles, arteries,
veins, lymphatics, glands, organs
and tissues of the body are in their
correct anatomical positions, disease
cannot exist.

The Carnival.

The BarkOut Carnival company
with some dozen attractions has been
showing in the city this week under
the auspices of the Gem City Guards
and despite the unfavorable condi-
tions of the weather for out door
amusements the streets presented a
gala appearance. The attendance,
while not as large as it would have
been had the weather been better,
was very good and the Guards will
realize quite a nice sum from the door
receipts.
The italian concert band is espec-
tally deserving of mention, as are al
so the Vendome Theatre with Thos.
Edison's moving pictures, The Old
Plantation, the electrical production
of the City of Jerusalem, Mysterious
Asia, Prof. Sleeps challenge dog
and pony show, The Assassination of
President Mckinley and last but not
least in point of avoirdupois Ger
trude the Fat Girl. And for those
who like a whirl the ferris wheel
and merry -go-round Were the things
to fill the bill.
The free exhibition of the high
dive by Prof. Lotto is a remarkably
thrilling feat and attracted more
than ordinary interest.
The company will remain in the
city for several days next week. Civ
performances both afternoon and
night.
The week has been given up to one
big round of pleasure and amuse-
ment and the G. K. Barkout COM
pany will leave our city with the
full assurance that it's efforts to
please the public have met with
much success,
