HOMESEEKERS

STATE FAIR At TAMPA The
DRAWING CARD.
Railroads Estimate That Thousands
viii Attend Fair Next
Fall.

According to the estimates Of officials
of the Atlantic Coast Line, SeabOard
Air Line, Southern. and other railways
travcrsing and interested in Florida,
the attendance of home-seekers at the |
coming State Fair, to be held in Tampa |
November llth to 29th. will be twice as
large as that of last year. Thousands
who desire to buy homes and settle per-
manently III Florida will come from the
northwest and east alone.
In view of these facts, and the further
fact that premiums on products OF every
kind will be- larger than ever offered at
a Southern State Fair, we think Brad
ford county should be represented in
the various departments of exhibition,
and the county commissioners should,
at their August meeting, appoint COM
missioner to collect exhibits, and make
an appropriation to defray the actual
expenses of exhibiting. The railroads
make no charge for transporting the
exhibits and no charge will be made for
suacc in the various exhibition build.
ings. Owing To the demand for space,
tit is evident that additional buildings
will have 10 be- erected. Among these
will be model poultry building, IN
which will be exhibited twice as many
fowls as were seen at the fair last
November.
President T. j. l.. Brown Of the STATE
1 Fair. which will be held in Tamps
November 18th to 29th, has for severa

ney. only to be disappointed Then came clew from Chicago, followed by another trip and more disappointment Then they determined to return to Chatham, New Brunswick, her old home, to learn more about her father and the real reason for his leaving.
 My father had been held up to me by my mothers relatives as a wife de- serter and a fugitive from justice '' said Mrs. Baxter but when I re- turned to Chatham and talked with other people, I found everybody who had known my father spoke highly of him and bade me godspeed. In 1878 he was a prosperous contractor and a thirty-secOnd degree Mason. Certain business dealings transacted by his partner caused accusations to be made against him, and on the impulse he left Chatham without telling even his wife where he was going The investigation that followed showed that the fraud had been committed by his partner without his knowledge. but I believe my father never has known that his name has been cleared. He wrote to my mother and enclosed money. but the letter was intercepted by my grandmother. and it was months before my mother knew that he had even written. Whether he wrote again, and how many times he wrote. I do not know. neither did my mother"
 After learning these facts. Mrs. Bax- ter and her husband started again on their long search, more determined than ever to find the lost father. They followed report and rumor after rumor going to New York. thence back to Boston, thence to Philadelphia, next to r .orida and finally to San Francisco. Here she heard in a more definite way that her father probably was a man who had been in the Spokane country for more than ten years. working some Of the time for D. C. Corbin. the rail- road builder. and sometimes in the mines. MT. and Mrs. Baxter were gath ering together a little money with which to hasten to Spokane. when the awful earthquake came and they lost everything. They explained their cir cumstanCes to the San Francisco relief committee, which at that time was sending people out of san Francisco as rapidly as the trains would carry them. The committee furnished them transportation to Spokane, where they arrived a few days ago. and now are located at IF Post street, where they have secured employment and are be- ing assisted by Masons to find the father.

STRIKE IN PINE MOUNTAIN.

J. s. Carmichael. superintendent Of the Pine Mountain Mining company. is responsible for the statement that five feet of ore of an average value of S2O to the ton in gold was recently struck in the 500-fOot level of the mine.
 Since assuming the management Of the property for the Pine Mountain Mining company. MT. Carmichael has sunk the shaft 120 feet and run over TOO feet of laterals, exposing other bod ies of ore of good grade. The mine has been in operation more or less for the past twenty years. producing many hundreds of tons of ore which was milled at a profit but the plan of de- velopment being carried out by it's present owners is more extensive than any ever attempted before.
 A ten stamp mill and concentrating plant affords reduction facilities on the ground. while the mine is equinp>1 with a first class hos'ing plant. which is capable of hoisting from deeper level than the shaft has yet attained. Journal Miner.

PLENTY OF ROOM
 IN ST. PAUL ARMORY All Club Women Who Attend the Biz
 snnial Will be Welcome.

From the Presidents Mail is de- partment in the Federation Bulletin. the official organ of the woman's clubs. From the advance sheets of the May number of the Bulletin. the following is taken from that department and will be of interest to club women gener- ally:
 Several letters have asked this ques- ton, Will there be room at St. Paul for the club woman who is not a dele gate? Every day and every hour. is the reply. The great auditorium will seat nearly four thousand, probably fifteen hundred seats will accommo- date delegates and aIternates, estimat- ing from past biennials, leaving much space for others. All are welcome. be- cause every club woman either has been or, we hope. will in the future be a delegate. There is not Q poor location in the ATmory, the galleries being especially desirable.
 Many inquiries have been made re- garding the proposition set forth in the newspapers of the Society of Ameri- can Women in LOndOn-a place of training for young women similar to the Rhodes scholarship for college men. II IS expected that Mrs. Webs ter Glynes, formerly Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer. the chairman of the original Advisory which had in charge the or ganization Of the General Federation will be present and speak upon this in teresting suggestion of our English members. Mrs. Glynes is well known and much beloved. and will be well comed with pleasure.
 Quoting from a letter received to- day:
 ''I am the president of a large de- partment club in a great city. Can you tell me of any work being under taken by clubs of this nature?'' Tn re- ply, two interesting things may be mentioned, the new project of the Chi cago Womens club to establish the Players theater." Mrs. Carpenter. president of the club. will give an ac- count of this departure at St. Paul the prospectus of which is most inter esting and promises much of profit as well as of success. The Women's club ot Denver has maintained this winter a school for leash" girls Fifty or more children from the great stores have been allowed to come two hours each morning to the club house for schooling. The merchants pay a DOT tion of the expense. and the experl- ment has been most successful and of great value to both the club and, the scholars.

LITE LONG SEARCH
 FOR A LOST FATHER

Spokane, Wash, May 7.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)- Mrs. C. s. Baxter, who reached Spo- kane last week from California has passed a life in search of her father, and her story is as interesting, shows even greater devotion, and possesses a sadness more intense even than the beautiful tale of Evangeline by Long fellow. Evangeline came from Acadia, and Mrs. Baxter left the same land or romance more lhan ten years ago. and ever since has travelled all over the United States in search of ner father, whom her mother on her death bed pledged her to find, when the devoted daughter was but five years old. Her mothers people did all in their power 10 keep both the mother and the child away from the father, who they hated. but the little girl never forgot the mothers last command. and though sne was only five years old at the time, she treasured the parting words, and when l4 years old ran away from home to begin the search for her fa:aer
 One of the first things 1 can re- member" said Mrs. Baxter yesterday, as her eyes filled with tears. ''is of my mother holding my fathers picture be- tore me and sobbing convulsiveIy. I couldn't understand it, but l knew she loved him and wanted 10 find him. Then l can remember that my mother was sick a great deal and cred much of the time, holding her cheek against mine and telling me that I looked like my father. Finally she was unable to leave her bed, and one day she told me that she was going to die and leave me but that I must find my father and tell him that she died loving him. I was only five, but I fully realized the trag- edy of life, and gave my promise with as firm determination as if l had been grown"
 The child was taken by the mothers sister, but when IA years old sre ran away from her aunt's home and went to Boston. She worked her way through Cambridge high school. all the time missing no opportunity to inquire for a man named Thomas Cowden. As she grew older she went into the up- holstering business ac Milford, Mass. Every spare moment was spent writing letters and talking with people. trying to learn something of her rather. She remembered that he wore a long beard to conceal a scar on his chin, and she talked with every bearded man she could thinking she might find him. She married MT. Baxter. but her won derful devotion to her father was as great as any woman's devotion to her husband. Instead of discouragfng her. Mir. Baxter as willingly assisted in the search. They had but limited means. but il was all given to the same quest.
 They heard of a Cowden at Still water, Minn.. and took the long jour
