q TALE OF WOE.

The East Coast Railway Company,
in order to build its extension from
the mainland to Key West, advertis-
ed for labOrers.
The price to be paid and the work
to be performed were stipulated.
Arriving at the point of destination
the laborers became dissatisfied refus-
ed to work and demanded free trans
portation back to their homes.
/ These laborerS complained that the
work was rough, such as negroes
ought to do; that the country was
desolate and uninviting; that they
were compelled to pay for their
rations and sleep in tents.
What did they expect Rooms at
the Ponce de Leon and Royal Poinci-
ana.
Suppose the pioneers of this country
the Daniel Boons, David Crockets
and Sam HOuStOn-had been made of
no sterner stuff, the Red Man until
this good day would be undesturbed
in his possessions!
Railroad building through new
country requires deprivations, hard
ships and toll.
1t is no place for tenderfOOt.
The tears shed on these men it
seems to us are wasted.

California Knocking Florida Out.

California does not ship her oranges
until they are fully matured and fully
colored, and as result is obtaining
excellent prices. We make the fol-
lowing quotation from the New York
Fruit and Produce News:
cit was supposed that all records
had been broken for the sale of Cali
fornia oranges, but the talk of the
trade this week is car of Old Mis-
sion brand sold by P. Ruhlman & Co.
and shipped by c. G. Chapman of
Fullerton. This was car S. F. r. D..
1851 and crossed the enormous sum
of $3,657.1O. There were six boxes
which brought $14.5O; 81, S14.37 IL,
and IL, S11- 81 1-2. No such sales
were ever known on a car of oranges
in New York before. The 113 boxes
of fancy in the car averaged S11.92;
1871 boxes of choice, $3.50, and los
boxes of standards, $6.12 ID and four
broken boxes, 1926, the whole car,
including broken boxes and all, over
aged $S.SS per box.
Park and Tilford bought the fancy
boxes of Valencias, taking the entire
line This is the highest average of
the three grades ever known in New
York and Was only one of series of
Old Mission brands which crossed
around $1,000. There were only four
cars of old stock sold this week and a
California season never ended with
such figures and such great satisfac-

Obituary Notice.

Died at O'Clock, a. M, 18th inst,
at his home in Benedict Heights, Mr..
Samuel Whorter Tongue.
The deceased was born in Wins
boro, Fairfield county, S. c., May
80, 1885. He came to Florida with his
wife and six children in 1888, and set
tied in Marion county near the place
where his remains now rest, and has
been an honored and exemplary citi-
zen during all the years o. his sojourn
here.
Mr.. Younge had been in feeble
health for the past ten years, until
about five weeks since, when he be-
came belfast, and, though vigilant
and tender nurses were constantly
administering with the aid of medi-
cal science) to his requirements, he
finally succumbed to the divine de-
cree.
The body was inferred in the Pres
byterian cemetery at Fairfield and
the many mourners and host of sor-
rowing friends who surrounded the
bier listened to a beautiful sermon
preached by the Rev. DR.. Roseboro,
state evangelist, at 1O:30, a. m. of
the 18th inst.
AS a citizen, Mr.. Tongue was al
ways industrious, ever patient and re-
lentless in his effort to overcome OBJ
stacles that beset his path in life.
Never yielding to cares occasioned
by adverse circumstances, but forti-
fed by the pillar of hope which was
SO intensely grated into his amiable
disposition, ne heroically pursued his
allotted career through his civic du-
ties in life. just as he accomplished
in his military career, when his
adored southland was in dire need of
his strong, physical power and in
dOmitable courage, for be it remem-
bered that the deceased was, during
the great conflict from 1860 to 1865,
all hOnored and very efficient men,
Der of that brilliant and redoubtable
body of troops known IN history as
Hampton's cavalry. The deceased
was a soldier also in a mightier army
than that which mortal man can mo-
Billie. He was soldier in the ser
! vice of the Lord andEdrew incessant
inspiration from the DecaIogue. He
| was consistent member of the Pres
byterian faith and leaves to his Off
1 spring heritrge, aye, priceless
boon that should be cherished and
held sacred.
He has passed to his reward and is
| now ''reaping as he sowed." The
! soul of the deceased soldier and up
right citizen is now enjoying the har-
vest he SO righteously earned.
| Through the snares and pitfalls OF
| this earth, which he SO manfully aud
herOically avoided, our friend hath
passed and now rests in perpetual
glory, such glory as the eye of man
hath not seen, nor has it entered into
! the heart of man to conceive.
We miss his kindly smiling face.
We miss his kindly voice,
But car we deny HIM heavenly grace;
! To satisfy our choice:
No. his soul hath fed to heaven above.
! Where all is mercy, peace and love
A FRIEND

Saxon army passed the night before
the momentous battle of Hastings in
drink and riot, while the numerically
interior Norman forces passed it in
sobriety.
DIR. Baer mentions in his "Alcohol-
ismns'' that 'sthe first order of mod
eration'' was founded by Frederick
III, that the badge, a cross with
design of tankards, and inscribed
with the motto, ssHalt Mass" was
worn by the emperor at festivities
that his son, Macmillan, publicly
expressed his abhorrance of intern
perance at a plumber of diets; that
the knightly order of ST. Christopher.
s'for the abolition Of profanity and
Drinking was founded early In the
sixteenth century by Sigismund Won
Diedrichstein, nobleman, and that
a few years later an abstinence fra
ternity was instituted by Louis,
Count Palatine and Richard, Elector
of Treves, fifteen bishops and prin-
cesses and many mobiles entering it.
DIR. Baer also refers to the "Pala-
tine Order of the Golden Ring" tine
symbol of membership being gold
ring which was forfeited back to the
community by any member who
proved recreant in drinking toasts !;
and mentions further, the famous
temperance order founded by Land
grave of Hesse in 1000.
Yet, all these efforts failed to abol-
ish intemperance. 1t is evident from
the teachings of history past and
present that all efforts to bring
about radical reformation by pro-
hibitive legislation will fail and in
the failure promote the traffic. II
there is a remedy it will be found in
an educational crusade that will en-.
tighten and uplift the individual
character. Two lives go to make UP
the national life. The individual life
and the collective life of individuals
which makes the life of the nation
we must have a radical reformation
in the life of the individual.

Fort Madison, July 10.-There Is n
lawsuit soon to be tried before Judge
Henry Bank, In the district court In
this city, which may be of some gem
eral interest, involving as 1t does tho
effectiveness Of the Iowa debt exemp-
ton law.
The case Is brought by w. H. Schnit-
ker against b. nellie for damages in the
sum OF $500. The plaintiff was ems
ployed by the Santa Re Railroad Com
pany as stationary engineer MT their
shops I'M this city. He has a family
and provided them with groceries pur-
chased from Mr. Nellie. who conducts
u grocery store. He became involved
In debt to- the amount of about fifty
dollars and apparently was unable to
pay. Under the Iowa law o married
laboring man Is allowed an exemption
to the amount of ninety days' pay. BE
ing unable to collect the bill Mr.. Nllle
sold II to an Illinois collecting agency
and they brought suit In an Illinois
court and got judgment, then gar
risheed the railroad company. the en-
ployer OF Mr. Schnitker. A rule of the
railroad company Is that when the
wages OF an employe are garnisheed
the employee must be discharged until
the debt is paid. Under this rule Mr..
Schnitker was discharged from the
employee OF the company. He thereby
claims to have been damaged to the
amount of $500, for which he. sues Mr..
nellie, his contention being that he was
exempt from the debt named, under the
Iowa laws.

ARRESTED ABRAMS
Tho Temperance Asitator Gets Into
Heaps Of TroubIe-strenuous Time
in Buchanan County.

Iowa City, July 1O.---Rev. II. III.
Abrams Of Iowa City. the noted tenn
perancc agitator. Is like the good man
who event down to Jericho and fell
among thieves"
He has concluded an eventful cam
paign in Buchanan county, where he
was, repeatedly made the victim of
atrocious acts.
Unknown miscreants, in one case.
stole his buggy and threw 1t into the
river The next day, he was arrested
charged with carrying concealed weap-
ons. This arrest, he contends. was
thoroughly unjust and illegal.
The buoy was never recovered, but
1t was tracked to the banks Of the
Wapsie, at a point where the water is
from 10 to IL feet deep. Presumably
the vehicle rests. undisturbed Mt the
rivers bottom, there. The horse was
not injured. The outrage was commit
ted, in Quasaueton.
The alleged illegal arrest took place
In Walden, where he was waiting for
his train to Iowa City. A pseudo Off :
Ger Of the law approached him and.
charging him with carrying concealed
weapons, placed him under arrest. The
Officer" declared he was . regularly
appointed constable, and Mr.. Abrams
accordingly accompanied him and an
alleged confederate to Quasqueton, SIX
miles away, making cross-country
trip. There, the justice Of the peace
ana the regular constable alleged that
they had not appointed any deputy or
other officer.
Accordingly, Mr. Abrams will insti-
tute damage suits to follow his $4,000
libel suit against the Register Leader
OF Des Moines He will base the suit
on three points:
1--Copspiracy.
2--Impersonating an officer.

GER claims the right, in any event, 10
