ment features sof the coming Florida
State Fair, to be held at Tampa, No
vember 14th to 18th. The band en-
gagged for the fair is the Rayol Red

The horse races at the coming State
Fair at Tampa will be even better
than those held last year, which were
the most exciting and better than any
ever held in Florida. When the fair
gates open several hundred fine
horses will be at the track, large
attendance being guaranteed by the
formation of a southern racing circuit
extending through Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Georgia, Alabama, the Caro-
linas and Florida, Tampa being the
only Florida city in which the races
will appear. None but running races
will be held at the fair.

What will be one of the most in

Fair at Tampa will be the grand dis
play of relics, for which a large and
special department will be prepared,
and probably an additional building.
Relics of every kind pertaining to
Florida's past history are desired for
exhibition, and premiums will be of
old days when the Indians held full
sway in Florida, followed by the adj
vent of the Spaniards, also those of
the Indian war and civil war periods
are desired. There will be appointed
to look after these departments spe-
cial superintendent, and every exhib-
it will be kept in absolute safety.
Those having relics and antiques
worthy of exhibition should address

WASHINGTON, June S.-Representa-

called to the attention of the house the
fact that the ways and means commit
tee has failed to take any action on the
bill to grant San. Francisco a rebate on
building material, Mr.. Williams saying
that the failure was due to stand
pattism."
Mr.. Kahn of California has made
reply, saying that the relief would not
extend over a longer period than one
year and the people of San Francisco
interested practically agree that to ex-
tend the provisions of a drawback bill
for a period of less than three years
would prove of no advantage whatever.
The people of California had ample
assurances, he said, that the orders
from San Francisco for structural steel
would be given priority over all other
business and that prices of that COM
modify should not be advanced.

WASHINGTON, June S-A basis of
compromise, IL not the exact form,

has been submitted by Senator Carter
This provides for a vote at the next

tion for a proposed new state and vote
on the question of statehood to be SUBJ

After a majority in each of the ter

REASON FOR FEW MARRIAGES
Fair Nurse Had Taken Up Claim in
Montana and Contest Against
Land Was Filed
Snecial q INC fierald.

special - The Herald.
HELENA Mont, June S.-When
Miss Thora II. Fremming, former Red
Cross nurse during the Spanish h-Amer-
ican war, went to the local land Office
to make final proof on her homestead
entry she was confronted with notice
of contest based upon the claim that
her land was mineral and not agricul-
tural. This may have influenced Miss
Fremmng TO accept the urgent offer of
marriage of a former sweetheart, Am
brose Phllan, from Clear Creek, Mont.
At any rate Phelan went to the clerk
of the courts and applied for a license
to wed the fair homesteader, and armed
with this document she did not say
him nay, and the wedding took place
yesterday.
The story back of the land contest is
tinged with romance. Miss Fremming
was in the Red Cross service during the
Cuban campaign. Phelan. a volunteer
soldier. was wounded in the battle of
Las Guasmas and was nursed back to
health by Hiss Fremming. AS the
latter is an extremely pretty girl and
Phelan, like all westerners, is large
hearted and susceptible, is not un-
natural that the Rough Rider fell in
love with his pretty nurse.
He proposed marriage when he had
wrapped up in her profession that she
refused to abandon her career for the
joys of welded life. Her service in the
fever infested hospitals of Havana,
however, caused her health to give way,
and, almost a physical wreck, she came
to the west to try to regain her
strength. Being an enterprising girl,
she "homesteaded" 100 acres of land in
northern Montana and went to work.
She built her own house, plowed her
land. dug her own fence post holes and
constructed the fence. She also dug
irrigating bitches, and today she has
one of the coolest little homes of any
independent woman in Montana.
When she came to make final proof
on her entry, however she was con-
fronted by this contest, said to be based
on technicalities. Naturally she was
discouraged, and when at the psyche.
logical moment Phelan again appeared
on the scene and pressed her to look
favorably upon his suit she assented.
Phelan is said to be a man of means,
owning many cattle, and amply able
to provide for his bride. Nevertheless,
Mrs. Phelan does not intend to let her
homestead go by default, but will make
as brave a fight against the contest en-
tered as she has made in wrestling a
living from the desert soil

rate elevators for whites and blacks

races in Columbia. Although there is
but one building in Columbia in which
elevators are used 10 any extent the
tall National Loan and Exchange
Bank building, the "Jim Grow" rule

cars.
An order has just been issued requir-
ing negroes to use a separate car from
the whites. There are large number
of offices in the bank building in
which many women are employed as
stenographefs and clerks. There has
been considerable complaint about the
blacks crowding themselves into the
cars with them, and on several occa-
sions clashes have been narrowly
averted.
The immediate cause of the action by
the owners of the building grew out of
the fact that a negro porter of club
on the twelfth floor was slow to re-
move his hat when ordered to do so
while women were in the car. He was
promptly discharged by the club.
