To the Voters of st. Lucie County:

To the Voters of st. Lucie County:
Since it will be impossible for me to
see you all again before the primary,
take this means of refuting recent
charge made against me. Some time
ago a report was circulated that | would
"come down" in favor of the present
incumbent, r. w. Lennard. Now since
that report proved to be unfounded
some one has circulated the report that
the Buckhorn Saloon has furnished me
the money to stay in the race in order
to defeat Mr. Lennard. This is an un-
truth from start to finish. ] do not be-
lieve that either of my opponents
started this report, think them both
men of more honor than to stoop to
such method of obtaining votes.
| feel assured that there is not man
in the race for Office at the coming
election who has endeavored to make a
more honorable campaign than myself

lowing the election of officers came
the selection of a place for holding the
next annual meeting of the Society,
and this turned out to be the most
spirited contest Of the entire session.
More than two hours were required to
settle this question, and even then it
was not finally ended until nearly every
member Of the Society had spoken in
favor of his choice of places.
Four places were put in nomination,
st, Petersburg, Miami, Gainesville and
Atlantic Beach, and each one of them
had its supporters. Speeches calling
attention to the merits of each were
made, and many there were in favor of
each of the towns and cities named.
When the final vote was taken st.
Petersburg won out by comfortable
majority, though the other cities polled
a good vote. The date will be practi-
caly the same as this year.
When the election had been concluded
a motion was made that hereafter, in
the election Of either officers or the
place of meeting, no proxies be al
lowed. This motion, after considerable
discussion. was carried.

BIG MEETING
State Horticultural SoCiety's Hold
Annual Session.
M'CARTY IS REELECTED
Nearly all the Old Officers Retained. --
St. Petersburg Next Meeting Place.
No Proxies in Tuuture.

The State Horticultural Society's
annual meeting, held this year in Jack
sonville, came to close Friday with
the election of officers and the election
Of the place for the next convention.
In its report of the proceedings, the
Times says:
President c, Il. McCarty, of Eldred,
who has done such excellent work for
the Society during his administration,
was again the unanimous choice of the
members for president. The Office Of
president is one that requires a good
deal of work, especially just previous
to the assembling of the Society for its
annual meeting. But so well has Mr..
McCarty done his work that the Society
insisted upou his again filling the exec
utive chair and his election was hearty
and unanimous.
There were two changes made in the
list of vice president, the new vice
presidents chosen being as follows: p.
H. Rolls, of Lake City: f. ID. Samp-
ton, of Boardman, and +. ID. Waite, of
Palmetto.
Secretary E. o. Painter, Of Jack
sonville, and Treasurer W. ). Hart, OF
Hawks Point, were unanimously re-
elected.
The following is the new executive
committee: f. S. Hubbard Of Federal
Point, George l.. Taber of Glen st.
Mary and w. G. Conner Of Tangerine.
Rev. Lyman Phelps of Sanford, a
member of last years executive COM
mittee, was compelled to decline re-
election, owing to failing health, and
the loss of his services is keenly felt
by every member of the society. Fol-

LARGE SLAUGHTER OF WoRKMEN
STATISTICS SHOW THAT MORE
THAN SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
WERE KILLED.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 23.-Statis-
ties for the year 1895 just given out
by the authorities Of Allegheny coun-
ty indicate that during the past year
more than 17,7OO persons were killed
and injured in this country, while at
their daily work. Of this number the
blast furnaces and iron and steel
mills are responsible for nine thou
sand. The other factories and shope
have four thousand to their credit and
the victims of the railroads numbered
four thousand while those of the mines
numbered 400. Besides this there were
several thousand injured whose cases
We're not reported, as the injured per-
sons were taken straight nome and
not to any of the hospitals or morgues
Several of the mills have furnished
such a large number of death and in
jury cases, that the insurance COM
panies refuse to insure men working
there.

INDIAN IN NATIVE COSTUME,
Stalks Snake River Bridge in Gray
Dawn.

Early morning travellers across the
Snake river bridge were somewhat
surprised upon being hailed by a voice
near the big iron gate yesterday morn
ing, says the Lewiston Tribune. Out
of the darkness move the form of
strapping young redskin. sans hat,
coat, trousers and moccasins. He had
a sad tale to tell the white brethren
who witnessed his plight 1t was a
tale of too mucn firewater and too
much confidence placed in another
copper-colored tribesman The two
retired to one of the cozy canyons on
the Charleston side to sleep their Jag
off. Some time in the night the COM
panion decamped VITA the blankets
and the clothes already described. The
sadder but wiser Indian inquired the
direction to Starbuck and slowly
wendell his way thither in search of
the faitlless partner to whom he had
disclosed his bottle" and in whom
he reposed his confidence.

Weston Saloon Keeper Finds Him
self IN Much Trouble
HAS Been SELLING LIQUORS TO MINORS
Jesse Gordon, 1S-Year-oId Boy Was
the Star Witness Against Of
Tending Saloonkeeper.

The jury in the case of c. H. Walt
tiers of Weston, charged with selling
liquor to minors, returned a verdict Of
guilty as charged in the circuit court
at Pendleton. District Attorney Phelps
appeared for the state, and Winter and
Collier for the defendant. The follow
ing composed the jury; A. G. Buholts.
John Wyrick, William Brown. d. NJ
Russell, L. c. Rothrock. John w.
Keen. Ed Brehm, Frank S. Curl, d. f.
Cargill, Peter Geiss. Thomas Thompson
and Charles Simon.
In opening the case Jesse Carbon
was called by the state and testified
that he was IS years of age, and that
December 25. 1905, he purchased liquor
of C. H. Walters in the latteNs sa-
loon.
For the defense, Ralph Kinnear, y.
r. Sewers, w. H. Stamper, George
Reynolds, l. M. Burg and Walters nim-
self We're placed on the stand. Two of
these, Reynolds and Burg, had been
bartenders for Walters. One of them
testified that Walters was not in the
saloon at the time he was said to have
sold the liquor to Gordon. Following
the testimony, John McCourt ad-
dressed the jury in behalf of the pros
ecution, and was followed by Attorney
Winters for the defense. The case
was then closed for the state by Dis
trict Attorney Phelps. In an address.
he declared it was simply a question
for the jury to decide between the
truthfulness of young Gordon and
Walters, as the entire case of the
state rested on the evidence of the for
mer AS to the character of Walters,
he said he was one of the few saloon
men who, in defiance of the law, car
ried on a liquor traffic with boys, and
who might run a saloon, upstairs,
downstairs, or in a basement" To
convict him, he said, would not be a
slap. at decent saloonmen, but instead
would be an act friendly to them.

the vessel building at the New York

Indian Commission Makes Report
to Interior Department.
WERE BOTHERED OVER INDIAN NAMES
Had Strenuous Task in AIIotine
Lands to Numerous Tribes in In
dian Territory.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23-Of all the
troubles experienced by the commits
sion to the five civilized Indian tribes
that of wrestling with the names of
Indian claimants for enrolment, pre-
liminary to the allotment of land in
the Indian Territory was the worst.
This commission has just made it's an
nual report to the secretary of the in
terror and its farewell bow to official
dom in general, for it's term mas ex-
pired by law
The members of the commission, T.
B. Needles, c. r. Breckenridge and
Tams Bixby, haven't enough eupho-
NOUS beauty in their names to be
boastful or bothered about the queer
sounds or ill effect incident to an at
tempt to speak other peoples names.
1t wasn't euphony; it was the indis-
criminate way in which the full breed
Indian applied names, regardless of
sex, to his children that caused the
sleepless nights, as the commission
roamed over the territory, and led 1t
to beg charity of posterity should
mistakes be found in the rolls prepared
for the allotment of land.
THE Indian language recognizes no
such thing as gender complains Tams
Bixby, chairman, and his fellow COM
missioners, in the report THE full
blood invariably speaks of mis- wife
as he and persistently names his
daughters WILLIE Joseph David,
and the like. Swapping youths with
no outward mark of effeminacy some
times answer to such remarkable
names as Lillian Pearl or jose
phine.' Surnames are changed over
night. Brown today will solemnly
swear that he is Jones' tomorrow,
while 'Care-co thla Big Mosquito,
seized with a desire for an English
name, becomes, without ceremony,
plain john Smith In some cases two
or more children of the same parents
are given identically the same name.
Information as to the age of both min
Ors and adults is often unreliable, if
not absolutely lacking
With the exception of the roll the
commission is proud Of it's work, and
says things are in such good shape
that Tams Bixby, now known as the
Commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes can complete the job with
ease.

NEAR FINANCIAL CRISIS,
Foreclosure at Hand Involving Prop
erty in Dowie's Town.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The financial
cloud that has for months been gather
ing over Zion City promises to burst
today, when mortgages aggregating
$4,000 on some Of the best property
in the city are expected to be fore
closed These securities are held by
Mrs. Mary Durkin and Hiram Ferry
Some of the most important buildings
of the city, as well as hundreds of
dwellings, stand on land covered by
the mortgages.
The prospect of foreclosure pro-
ceedings inspires general alarm among
the residents, and it is admitted that a
crucial test of the stability of the
Dowie enterprise is at hand
Elder Speicner last night professed
to believe that the crisis would be
averted He asserted the equivalent
of money had been secured to pay off
part of the interest, and that the
foreclosure would undoubtedly be
postponed.
The general sentiment in Zion did
not reflect this optimsiasm. The resi-
dents were generally of the opinion
that foreclosure was unavoidable and
excitement was everywhere apparent.
