Lynne, Fla, Oct. 3, 1906.
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
The impression having gone out

for Marion county at the approaching
state fair at Tampa. beg hereby to
announce that | respectfully decline
to undertake the hereculian task
necessary to win for Marion county
as she deserves and merits. The
apathy and indifference of SO many
Of the leading citizens of the county
lis the cause of this decision. here
by withdraw the $4,000 ! subscribed
for the county, / much prefer that
Marion county would make no con-
test than to go in hampered and OBJ
strncted and fail to get what rightful-
Ily and meritoriously belongs to her.
Whatever action the ccanty co.n.nis-
sioners may have taken in the premi-
ses after 1 left Ocala Tuesday even
ing will not change my decision.
Very truly yours,
R. F. ROGERS.
| And no man can justly blame the
Colonel for refusing to shoulder the
la ponsibiliiy of getting up an ex-
.aibit when, as he says. many of our
lea ling people refuse to aid in the
work. He has already expended
considerable time and money in
preliminaries, thinking that at the
proper time he would have the sup
port which the cause merits.
We also agre with him when he
says that we had better not be rep
resented at tn fair than not be plac-
ed in cur true light before the many
peoole who win attend the fair.
1t is to be regretted that this step
seemed necessary by those IN a posi-
ZION 70 help along such a worthy
cause

America Is the Land o. NeTV0uS
Women.
The majority of women are nervous
because they suffer from some form OF
pelvic catarrh.
The greatest obstacle in the way of re-
covery is that they do not understand
that catarrh is the main source of their
illness.
Women who are in doubt as to their
ailments should write to DR.. Hartman,
President of The Hartman Sanitarium,
Columbus, Ohio, who will give their let
ters prompt attention, without charge.

WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Quiet Hour led by Rev Nc Coy,
prayer, by Rev. Brigham. The lead
er based his remarks on md Cor, >:
IA, Is. Our chief end, as man, is to
glorify God. Not for self, but for
Christ, thus expressing the central
thought of the convention After sew
eral short PRAYERS the Quiet Hour was
closed BY all repeating the Lords
Prayer.
The subject assigned Mrs Gonzales,
state superintendent of the Quiet Hour
was, "How can We know Him." This
was introduced by reference to a
friend whom thu speaker had known
and loved yet had never seen. The
messages, the gifts exchanged, the face
known and loved from the likeness,
so with knowing Christ. If we are to
know him we must send him messages
as he sends them to us. We read them
in His word, we know of His life, we
see His face, We know His love. 1t is
not by the much reading for sometimes
a clause is food enough for the day.
1t is our meditation and prayer oyer
what We read that gives Us strength.
This splendid half hour was closed
by the sketching of Van Dykes beau
tiful story, THE Other Wise Man.
Rev ReeS being absent the next sub
iect. "How can | show Him." was ia
q ken up in open discussion. Rev Leeds
said we must show Him as He is, the
q natural way and that it is impossible
a to show him unless we possess Him.
We must show the same things de
4 showed, liberty, compassion, tender
ness, love. We need not be worried
if criticized for "Other-wOrldliness. "

LABOR TROUBLES
IN GOLDF|ELO
Industrial Workers Make
Demands on West
ern Union.

GOLDFIELD. June 2.-The labor sit
uation in this camp seems to be nearing g
a crisis, although it is expected that Sc
rious results will be averted. For some
time the Industrial Workers of America
have been organizing every department
of labor, including servant girls, type
writers, bookkeepers and messenger
boys Wednesday the messenger boys
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany went out on a strike, demanding
a 25 per cent increasesin wages. Here
tofore they have been making from
$40 to $50 a month from salary and
tips.
The manager. OF the local Office upon
refusing the demand was waited upon
by representatives of the Industrial
Workers and notified that by June / all
employes of his Office, including opera
tors. must join the organization. On
June l they called again and on being
informed that the employees had not
complied with the order made by the
union told the manager that unless the
employes had by Wednesday morning
ioined the union the Office would be
closed and force would be used, if nee
essary.
The Western Union has called upon
the Governor and Sheriff for protection
and il is believed willgcall for Govern
ment troops if all else fails AS the
Sheriff is lily prepared to Fgrapple with
any such situation and tie State has no
militia the intervention of Government
troops seems inevitable Feeling is
running high in Goldfield and it is
feared by many that this is the begin
ming of the conflict predicted for a long
time.
Others say that the difficulty will be
adjusted without any trouble. as the
union will be obliged to recede from its
position. Many memberssof the sainers'
Union on the street today denounced
the participants in the affair
At $50 o'clock today orders were
served on the manager of the Western
Union to close his once without further
delay. The order was not oheyed and

To POST
and LOSES LIFE
Engineer Stops Train on
High Bridge at an
Open Draw.

NEW YORK, June 2.-Little short
of miraculous was the escape this aft
ernoon of hundreds of passengers on
the well-fiIled st. Louis express of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. which came to
a halt on the big Hackensack River
bridge only when the engine had
fallen into the open draw. 1t is be-
lieved the engine driver and fireman
were killed. Had the engine driver
not stuck to his post at the cost of his
life and put the brakes down hard
many lives would probably have been
sacrificed
The st. Louis express left Jersey
O'Clock. 1t is a popular train and
usually we'll patronized- At high
speed it ran upon the long span over
the Hack ensack. What transpired in
the cab when the engine driver at
tempted TO halt the train before reach
ing the open draw will probably never
be known. Why he allowed the ex
press to get so near the danger spot is
also a mystery, but it was almost on
the abyss before the air was sharply
applied and the quick shock and
heavy crunc1ing of the brake shoes
gave the alarm to the passengers.
There were frightful seconds of ter
ror before the wheels locked fast and
the train with final tremor came to
a stop. Then another jolt, a crash, a
nightly splash told that the huge
locomotive had broken from the
tender and buried itself in the river
The tender hung to the rails. but
swung with one set of trucks on and
the other off the tracks.
Ambulances were at once summoned
to the scene. The accident broke up
the Pennsylvania schedule. causing
great confusion with the heavy Satur-
day afternoon traffic. Wrecking crews
were hurried TO the river, but thev
had task of several hours duration
in clearing the line

CHICAGO. June John j. Mitchell.
referring to the telegraphed report
from San Francisco that Attorney
Thomas Bates had made a proposition
TO settle with policy holders for 60
cents on the dollar. reiterated and
made emphatic his statement of yes
terday that Bates had exceeded his au-
thority. Said he:
Mr.. Bates was not authorized TO
make any proposal for the settlement.
He went there to ascertain the net

There are 275 shares. which. by the
terms of the order. may not be dis

1T is true that some weeks ago
was asked by the San Francisco cOun-
sci for certain policy holders there for
rectors and stockholders of the Trad
ers' Insurance Company. said Levy
Mayer today when shown a San Fran
cisco dispatch stating that he had been
retained by several policy holders OF
the Traders Insurance Company
That opinion / sent on" he contin-
ued -'and 1 presume that those policy
holders for whom / was asked will be
guided thereby. Whether litigation
will or will not ensue. and. il instituted.
where il will be instituted. are ques-
tions will not discuss. nor will state
the character of the opinion I gave.
Under no aspect can the policy-hoIder
assert against the stockholders a great
er claim than could be established
against the company itself. Necessari-
ly. the amount of that claim depends on
the facts and circumstances of each
case
