FAIL IN AN ATTEMPT
TO WRECK A PAY CAR
Bandits Derail 1t, but 1t Does Not
Plunge Down Embankment,
as Planned

DIES MONIES. Iowa. Jan. 20.-An
unsuccessful attempt was made to-day
to wreck an early Fort Des Moines
car, supposed to carry Government
cash to meet the post pay roll. An
open switch on a high grade threw the
car from the rail and 1t was barely
prevented from plunging down the
high embankment. Ida Stewart, a
ncgress was the only passenger. She
was severely injured.
It is believed to have been the plan
of the bandits to cause the car to
plunge over the embankment. When
this failed they disappeared without
attempting to loot the contents.

Circuit Court Opens

The fall term of circuit court for De-
Soto county opened Tuesday morning,
with Judge B. II. Palmer, OF the third
circuit, presiding, and States Attorney
Phillips in attendance.
Judge Palmer's charge to the grand
jury was one of much force and pro-
duced a deep impression upon all 8.
Clearly he directed attention to the
work in hand and Of the necessity Of
conforming with duty in every pos
sihle manner.
The notable record Judge Palmer
bears for thoroughness in everything
pertaining to his work on the bench
is in no way lessened at this term OF
court. Lack Of promptness always
calls for reprimand by Judge Palmer,
as several persons, who failed to be
present when wanted, found out to
their cost, heavy fines being levied for
the indignity offered the court and re-
tardment Of work.

Jacksonville lie to have genuine
society circus early in November.
This event will be the first OF its
kind ever held in the State of Florida.
This society circus is to be und ertaken
by most of the prominent members OF
the local Elks' Lodge, and in aid OF the
Christmas charity fund
The arrangements for the society
circus were made at the club Monday
with Louis w. Buckley, formerly of
Jacksonville, but now an amusement
manager.
In the North and West these affairs
have met with splendid success and
have proved very entertaining and at
tractive. A society circus is in reality
a burlesque on the real article, but on
this occasion the management will see
that the salient features OF a genuine
tended circus will be furnished, as well
as the burlesque part.
The dates set for this circus are

Gossip of the Orange Crop

The Packer under New York date OF
Oct. 18th, says:
FLORIDA oranges are beginning to
arrive in little larger quaint ties, and to
the credit Of shippers and growers III
that state comparatively little green
fruit is coming now. The result will
be apparent when the movement is at
its height, and there is no doubt that
Florida growers will profit by this
evidently unanimous action in the
right direction. The largest shipments
up to this time have come from DeSoto
county where the packing houses are
nearly all in operation, and carlot ship
ments are going forward daily.
Reports from different sections Of
the citrus belt in the state, indicate
that the fruit is showing color. and ad-
vancing rapidly to maturity. In the
Miami district some shipments have
already been made, and Lee county
groves have sent a few hundred boxes,
but it will be a week or ten days be-
fore the crop will be in shape for pick
ing to begin. 1t is expected that some
oranges from Orange county will be
on the market this coming week, re-
ports from there indicating that the
