QUEEN BEES WORTH MONEY.
A. Much a. 5000 Paid for Come Bred
by italian Farmers.

Just as there are valuable strains In
horses. cattle and other stock. SO
there are varieties OF queen bees
which are worth many hundred times
their weight in gold. The most valu-
able strain Is the Italian. and many
Italian bee farmers demand and re-
ceive without question prices ranging
from $50 to $500 for q single queen
bee of a certain kind. Such bees are
sent all over the world. The owner OF
a bee farm near Ottawa. Canada. goes
to Europe annually and brings back
with him bees OF an aggregate value
OF thousands OF pounds. He is en-
abled through the agency of an Italian
firm to effect an insurance upon the
most valuable Of his queens.
This bee farmer has many strange
experiences in connection with the
assistants he is obliged to engage. OF
course all beekeepers must submit To
certain amount OF stinging. But in
some cases the poison in the sting
acts directly upon the assistants and
makes them alarmingiy ILL., Others
are immune. though stung hundreds
OF times. Bee farmers are often ap
piled to by persons suffering from
rheumatism. who wish TO place them
selves in the way Of being stung. And.
strange as II may seem. the virus OF
the bee sting does often act as a cure
to persons suffering from serious at
tacks OF rheumatism.

CREATED A SENSATION
p. H. BURTON, FORMER DEPUTY
 COUNTY CLERK, ARRESTED.
Pensacola Citizen Charged With FaIsi- fyiuE Records and Forging
 Names-TOuching Scene
 at Prisoners Home.

Pensacola, Fla, June 14.--(speciaL)-- An arrest which created a great sen. sation in Pensacola today was that of B. H. Burton. until a few weeks ago deputy county clerk. MT. Burton was found at his home at l a. m. by Sheriff yanpelt, and escorted to the county jail and locked up on charges of falsifying county records and forging names to tax documents, aggregating in the whole the sum of S5,000 or whereabouts.
 Mir. Burton upon being seen at the jail made a partial acknowledgement of his wrongdoing, but intlmated that he intended making restitution for the funds that he is charged with having taken. People who have been keeping up with the matter knew that the State auditor was going over the records in the office of the county clerk and were also wise of the fact that errors in the account of Mir. Burton had been discov- cred. They did not believe. however, that the errors were so large.
 A touching scene was witnessed at the home of the prisoner this morning when the arrest was made. Physicians ha dto be called to give attention to the daughters and wife of the man in GUS tody of the sheriff, for they either tainted or become hysterical. It is thought that not an inkling of Mir. Burton's wrongdoing was known to them.
 MT. Burton is held in high esteem by all who know him. The family com mands the respect of all.

ALABAMA SOLDIERS HOME.
Minutes of Meeting of the Board of Control on June c.

 Control on June 6.
 Mountain Creek, June 14.-(Speciai.) The Board of Control of the Confed- crate Soldiers Home met in annual session at the Home June 6. Follow ing are the minutes of the meeting:
 The Board was called to order at s:3o a. m. In the office in Auditorium building. In the absence of the Gov ernor W. c. Ward was elected Chair man.. The minutes of previous meet ing were read and approved.
 The report of the Commandant was submitted and was, after being fully discussed, approved.
 1t was the sense of the committee that the State is dorng we'll for the old veterans at the Home. yet the ap- propriation for maintainance Is not large enough, taking into considera- ton that all expenses are to be met out of the fund.
 It was recommended by the Com mandant that the State be asked for an appropriation large enough to in- stall an eIectric light plant, grade the grounas, laying out roads and walk ways; aIsu, that an incidental fund be asked for to meet contingencies that may arise, and also that In view of the fact that under the present law an old soldier entering the Home cannot receive a pension, that out of this con tingent fund each inmate be paid monthly small amount not to exceed S2 per month, to enable him to buy postage, stationary and such things as under the appropriation cannot be fur nished him. These suggestions were endorsed by the Board.
 On motion the Commandant was in- structed to so arrange that more econ omy may be used in the matter of cooking and feeding the inmates, this to be done as early as practicable. On motion of MT. Stanley the thanks Of the Board were rendered Miss Bea- mont of Union Springs for headstones to mark the graves of the dead. The Commandant rendered his res- lgnation to take effect October 5, 1905, in order that he may enter into busi- ness, which was accepted and the Ex- ecutive Committee instructed to sup | ply the vacancy; also, the home be- ing without d physician, they were ln- | structed to supply one.
 The Home was found to contain fif- ty-nine inmates from the various sec tions of the State. The health is ex- traordinary for old, worn-out men. The fare is good. Clothing is plentiful and clean. The Home is in me sanitary condition, and the Board desires to say to the people of Alabama that they have made no mistake in taking the Home. A grand work is being done for the old veterans. A fine system of water works is in full operation with d fine system of sewerage, hot and cold water bath, closets, sinks, etc., in every cottage; in fact. everything to make 1t q comfortable home.
 We cordially invite the people of our State to visit, inquire into and also to contribute of their means for the es- tablishment of library and the seat ing of Memorial HaIl, and to the la dies Of the State the Board desires to return thanks to the many who have remembered the Home in a substan- tial way, and to suggest to them that sheets, pillow cases, towels. quilts and blankets are the most needed just now.
 The Board adjourned subject to the call of the Governor.
