DRAINAGE.

-
Governor Broward had a scheme on
Twas to drain some sunken saw-grass
50 II he could make 1t work, thought
he,
He would boss the hive like king bee.
So he went TO work for his great name,
Good or bad he started for the same,
When he met you, drainage was his
And found some who sided with his
scheme.
Others said the job would be heavy,
On the State, TO make such levy,
AS in the round Of things IL would take
To cut the ditch, 10 drain such lake.
Broward said tax land in all the State,
Which would pay the bills, at any rate,
And tax all the lands both high and
low,
Make them, both weak and strong,
come TO tow.
He will grind the poor, and rob the
rich,
All TO cut and keep that mighty ditch,
The mud may prove rich, or II may not,
But will rob many poor, on the spot.
He says twill make all things fair and
right,
Tax those, interested in the sight,
To him and his crowd twill be funny,
While we and others finds the money,
So vote II down, and shut off the scheme,
Among the voters be this the theme,
Until Mister BrOward and his crowd
Shall hear II said No, and hear 1t loud.
All men should be clear in what they
state,
When In taxing, be clear at any rate,
SO then make your proposition right,
And we will be with you day and night.

To the People of Florida:
We, the undersigned Democratic off,
Gals Of Osceola county, desire, in JUS
tice TO the people of this county, to
make the following statement to the
qualified electors Of the State:
Il has been said in the press and on
the stump that the people in the Ever
Rlades drainage district are all in
favor Of the payment OF the drainage
We desire 10 say that at the May
primary the race for the Legislature
was run solely on the drainage issue,
and the successful nominee for the Leg
islature, Hon. Arthur f. Donegan, was
overwhelmingly elected on clear-cut
a1ttt-drdtndge platform.
Osceola county was the headquarters
Of the Disston drainage canal system:
This county may therefore be styled
the drainage county Of the State. Our
people are particularly familiar with
the effects Of drainage, and are par
ticularly qualified TO express an opinion
upon the merits Of the proposed drain
age constitutional amendment
We repeat that the people OF this
county have already passed upon this
drainage question, and In the race for
the Legislature they voted this drain.
age scheme down and emphatically con-
demned It.
BasinRer, the nearest settlement Of
any size TO Lake Okeechobee, voted
almost TO q man against drainage.
The past action of the people OF this
county in voting overwhelmingly against
this drainage scheme is in itself an APP
peal 10 the voters Of Florida not to
| fasten upon our people this oppressive,
arbitrary and useless drainage tax.
This Is an appeal to you, the fair
minded people Of Florida, to give. US
your assistance, and to vote against
| the drainage constitutional amendment.
Respectfully submitted to your favor

Mormon President Arrested.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 1.-The president
OF the Mormon church, Jos. F. Smith,
was arrested and bound over to the
district court today, on the charge of
living unlawfully with five wives. The
complaint was sworn to by a Mormon
deputy sheriff, the warrant was served
by order of a Mormon sheriff, and the
committing magistrate is also a Nor
mon. President Smith was arraigned
Immediately after his arrest and
waived preliminary hearing. After
being bound over he was released on
his recognizance.
President Smith reached here two
days ago from Europe. He then
learned that an attempt had been
made to c u his arrest for a statu-
tory otfense in connection with the
birth OF his ADD child. Whatever the
motive back of today's proceedings,
the effect will be to disarm criticism
that has been directed against the au-
thorities for their failure to take cog
nizance OF the admissions made by
President Smith before the senate com.
mittee during the investigation of the
Smoot case.

representation appears IN comparing
that Of Jefferson and Teton counties.
The last federal census enumerated D..
$50 residents in Jefferson county,
which has three members in the house
OF representatives. Teton county was
credited with a population of $3.50,
and has only one member. The citi.
zens of Jefferson county thus have
three times the legislative power that
is given to about the same number of
residents of Teton county.
Broadwater county, with a popula.
ton OF 2,64O, has two representatives,
while the 6,2l2 residents of Yellow
stone county are represented by only
one member of the house.
The political effect Of this unfair APP
portionment will not be discussed at
this time, the purpose Of this review
being to direct public attention t o a
most uns %atisfactory feature Of con-
ditions under which important legis-
lation may be undertaken.

A MAGIC MIRROR.
Experiments With the Moon and
stars and a Hand Glass.

Experiments With the Moon and
stars and a Hand GLASS.
A pretty experiment can be made
with a hand mirror any night when
there is ii full moon. Hold the mirror
SO that the moons image will be seer
In 1t and YOU will be surprised to see
four mOons instead of one. One moon
will be very bright, but the other three
will be In a straight line and quite dull.
one dull image on the side Of the bright
moon Il the other two on the other
side. Turn the mirror round slowly,
still holding its face to the moon, and
the reflections will seem to revolve
round a common center.
You can make the same experiment
with one Of the very bright stars,
such as Sirius, Venus or Jupiter, but
with these there will be three images
instead of four, as the number seen de-
ponds on the breadth Of the object.
The explanation is quite simple. There
are two surfaces in a mirror, one in
front and the other where the quick
silver Is. The brightest reflection
comes from the object itself, the others
are what are known as secondary i'm
ages reflected from the front to the
back of the mirror and thence to the
eye. The magic mirror never fails to
excite a good deal Of wonder, and is an
Interesting experiment as well.-Lon-

promise we'll for the week. The
weather was not as good as could be
desired, but was not stormy and the
indications are for fairer skies during
the remainder Of the week. For the
first day the attendance is reported to
be good. Many people are here from
various parts OF the state, and the in

ar exceed that Of any fair ever held

and after today the attend ance will
reach into the thousands every after.

Not all OF the exhibits were in place
this morning. An extraordinary ef.
Tort had been made t have them all

outside points only arrived yesterday
and a delay necess arily followed. BY
tomorrow, however, all the exhibits
will have been installed, and the
showing will be far greater than last

breaker. Every foot OF available

ments is occupied and, taken as q
whole, the exhibits are more com.

lage Of Hope, in Flintshire, and reads:

One would think that the incident the
stone commentaries must be we'll
known In the neighborhood, but the cor
respondent was not successful in find
ing any one who could tell the story.
The other stone Is by the side of a
lonely road in the neighborhood Of
Jenkln chapel, and bears the following
inscription: Here John Turner was

STORM VICTIMS IN DISTRESS
Many Of Them Are Without Shelter. Eo,d
and Clothing.

MOBILE, Ala, Oct. Ia heavy
rainstorm which is greatly Interfering

on. No wind has accompanied the
rainfall as yet, but the downpour has
been exceedingly heavy and has euor.
mously increased the difficulties Of
construction gangs. 1t is feared, O o
that it will cause much increase of
suffering and some deaths along the
coast of the south end of Mobile bay.
Many people are homeless 10 that Sec
ton and are living in the woods with
scanty supplies Of provisions. The
exposure of another storm cau not but
have a serious effect on women and
children.
On Dauphin's island there are 500
homeless who have only three small
buildings in which they can obtain
shelter. Despite the fact that two re.
lief expeditions were e out yester.
day, there are not more than enough
provisions for more than one day,
and additional supplies were sent
down early today. While there is no
suffering in Mobile proper, there is
urgent need at many points on the
southern part of the bay and assist
ance for these people will be great.

The business houses in the city to-
day sustained almost as much financial
loss from a heavy rainstorm, which
set in shortly after midnight and lasted
about l. hours, as from the recen,
disaster. There is scarcely a build
ing 10 the business section which has
a roof capable of keeping out the
rain. Many Of them have no roofs at
