noaa and Rridge Fund.

The Board of County Commissioners today paid over to the City of Pensa- cola the sum of $4.15s.5s. which is the balance due the city on the road and bridge fund tax for the year 1904. Un- der the Florida laws the city receives one-third of all money collected for road and bridge purposes by the coun- ty, which must be used in the building or repair of streets. and the check which was turned over today was on this account. It has been due for nearly year and the city authorities have sent several communications en- deavoring to get the amount paid, but without success until now. The law provides that there shall also be set dement's between the county and city at stated periods, but the county has not lived up to this portion.

AgItation for Cheap Ice.

The agitation for cheap ice and bet ter delivery has reached Pensacola and so great is the interest in the mat. fer that several prominent citizens have volunteered to furnish the capital necessary for the erection of an independent plant under provis- ion that 1t can be taken over by the city at any time. They are wiling to furnish the money provided com petent man is secured and placed m charge of the plant, which will insure the proper care of 1t. and the condnct of the business. UntiI this year the three ice plants were conducted sepa- rately. although there apparently was always an understanding as to the price of ice. This year all have en- tered a combination and dispose or their output to what is known as the Consumers Ice and Fuel Company, which is composed of the owners or the three plants. The price Is forty cents per hundred and so unsatis1ac- tory Is the delivery and Independent the deliverymen, frequent complaints have been made, and several drivers arrested for giving short weight. The drivers complain that the company allows them so much ice and they are expected to turn in a certain amount of money for it, no matter how great the loss from melting, and they are compelled to give short weights 10 make 1t come out even. There IS hardly a day passes but there is some kind of a complaint lodged in the newspapers about what is now termed the ice Trust" and if a new plant IS placed in operation it will undoubted- ly get all the patronage until the pres ent inconvenience is forgotten.

EVILS OF
 CONSTIPATION.
Everyone Knows When He Is Consti- pated and Everyone Should Know the Risk He is Running When
 He Fails to Promptly
 Correct it.
Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed
 is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use a natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a heaithfu1 influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perina- nentfy cure the habit.

 Tho problem which eonfronts the rev postmaster Is of much greater dif- ficulty of solution. Who is the owner of the teeth?

That clerk suddenly discovered that he was the most unpopular man In the build .fg. Just why oYense should have been taken he does not know. but tho change in the temperatu-a of the building convinced him that something was wrong.
 He took the parcel to Poatma ster nimmiels and asked him If he had Taolars. The affable chief of the local office quickly put his hand to his face. then took his hand slowly away and

 Pensacola, Fla, July 19.-tSpecial)--- Herman oakcnheim, the fisherman, who was shot on the pr.ncipal business thoroughfare of the city Wednesday night while coming mp town, Is In quite serious condition. The bullet, which struck him in the thigh, cut a large artery. and lodged Tn the tnlsh' and the physicians are afraid to att tetnpt to remove 1t for fear that 1t may carse the blood vessel to start. and the man might bleed to death All the officers in the crowd still deny that thrv fired the shot. but Chief Schad who was just in the rear of Officer I.adnier. declares that the lat ter officer fired at sailor whom the officers were chasing and the bullet went wide of it's mark and struck Oak enhelIn.
 The chief says that he even called to the officer not to shoot any more. as the street from where they were to the wharf was crowded at the time. md revolver could hardly Dc fired without striking somsone oH ger Lsdiner declares that the shot came directly from the rear of him. There is considerable Indignation felt over the shooting, as the man whom the officers were chasing Is an une1ucat- ed Italian sailor, who had committed no crime, but had only run because the officer was coming towards him. The policemen gave chase. thinking some crime had been committed. and fired one shot at him, just as he leaped into the bay Afterwards he was run out on Palafox street and the second shot was firei
 It Is the opinion that the police ot- ficers in Pensacola are entirely too free with the use of their revolvers. ana when renning after person who has committed some frivolous offense ire auently fire their revolvers, with dan ger of killing some one else.
