Sparkman in Ocala

Congressman Sparkmap OF Tampa
was a distinguished visitor TO Ocala
Friday, and said to a reporter OF
this paper that he would certainly at
tend the coming out" convention on
next Thursday.
AS Mr. Sparkman has made such

OF NO VALUE.

Ore-Bearins Sands Give an insufficient
Percentage of Metal.
In order to ascertain whether any
value attached to the iron-bearing
sands found upon his farm and in the
surrounding territory, r. W. Freer
sent a sample to E. 81. Bass of Min
neapolis for the purpose of analysis,
and following is that gentleman's re-
ply:
81 have examined the sample, and
will say that there is not anywhere
near enough iron in it to make it
commercially valuable. At present,
and also for many years to come, an
iron ore will have to contain at least
so per cent iron to be of value. Most
of the ores mined at present contains
60 per cent iron, and an ore to con-
tain so to 60 per cent iron must be
almost wholly iron oxide. Now this
sample is almost all sand.
"There may come time in the far
future, when iron will be extracted
from sand by concentration. This
concentrate, you understand, is the
magnetic iron oxide which must be
smelted with difficulty too) to pro.
duce metallic iron. But when this
time comes there are vast areas OF
sea beach sand which will be used
first, both because OF It's higher iron
contents and the ease with which it
could be handled.
II therefore say that your sand is
of no value whatever for the iron it
may contain and do not think il
would be worth while to have it as.
sayed for iron.''

Social distinction and wealth had
no charms for him. The height of his
ambition was to serve the sick, to add
his liberal share towards the progress
and improvement of the healing art.
His attitude toward his patients and
his colleagues was open and frank.
He encouraged the young practitioners
by word and deed and in illness and
distress of any kind came willingly to
the relief of his colleagues. near or
far, whenever his counsel was solic-

his professional services or for finan-

willingly rendered regardless of pc

FIRE AT LONG SIDING.

Long Mercantile Company's Store and
Contents Totally Destroyed.
The store of the Long Mercantile
company, with it's contents, was to-
tally destroyed by fire at about mid
night on Tuesday. The furniture of
B. F. Reems, who lived above the
store. was also burned.
How the fire started is not known,
but it is supposed to have originated
from defective chimney. AS Mr..
Reems' wife was away on a visit he
was temporarily boarding and room
ing at a house about a mile and a
half from the store and knew nothing
of the fire until the building was in
ruins.
A loss of several thousand dollars
is entailed, partially covered by in
surance. Mr.. Reems carried an in
surance of $3.50 on his furniture in
Guy Ewing's agency. He valued the
furniture in S., 900.

DR.. JACOB F. WHITING
A Skilled and Beloved Medical Practi-
toner Passes Into the Rea ms T..
of Everlasting Rest.
Relief of Suffering Constituted Life
Work of This Kindly, Whole
SouIed Phllanthropist.

Brief mention was made in last
weeks issue of the death of DR.. j. F.
Whiting, which occurred on the even
ing of the 18th inst. at the family resi-
dence in Spencer Brook. The doctor
had contracted a severe cold which
developed into pneumonia and termi-
mated fatally.
The funeral was held from the M.
e. church at Spencer Brook Sunday
afternoon. The building could not
contain half the people who came
from far and near to pay their last
tribute to he whom in life they loved
so we'll. Rev. Mr.. Galbraith deliv-
cred an eloquent and touching dis
course. Large delegations of Ma
sons, Knights Of Pythias, Pythian
Sisters, and Odd Fellows were pres
ent from Princeton. The services at
the grave in the Nichols cemetery
we're under the auspices of the Ma
sonic fraternity. It was the largest
attended funeral ever held in western
Isanti county.
Jacob Francis Whiting was born at
Bangor, Maine, Sept. "a, 1914. At
the age of four years he moved with
his parents to Boston,, where he re-
sided for II years. In 1860 the family
moved to Oconto, Wis, where on
Sept. 1st, 1865, he was married to
Miss Emma Lewis. Four children
were born to this union-Isabel Mar
ion, Henry Wilson, Anna Caroline
and Jennie Frances-all of whom are
left to mourn with and comfort the
loved mother and wife.
Shortly after his marriage Mr..
Whiting decided to study medicine
and he graduated from Ann Arbor
in 1879. He began to practice his pro-
fession at Merrill, Wis, and remained
there until 1883 when he located at
Spencer Brook, where he has ever
since resided. In 1897 he took post
graduate course at Chicago. He met
with good success during his twenty
four years. practice at Spencer
Brook.
DR.. Whiting was a whole-souled,
genial man, ever ready to 60 to any
length to serve his friends. No night
was ever too dark or no road ever
too long to cause him to fail to re.
spond to the call of the sick and dis.
tressed. The ailment that resulted in
his death was contracted in the dis.
charge of his professional duties in
inclement weather. He was a kind
father and husband, good neighbo1
and loyal friend. He will be sadly
missed.

DR.. JACOB II. WHITING.
IA Commemorative Review by DR.. Cooney
He is not dead. this frend-not dead,
But in the path we mortals tread
Got some few faltering steps ahead
And nearer to the end

He is not dead. this friend-not dead,
But in the path we mortals tread
Got some few faltering steps ahead
And nearer to the end -
For the first time the ranks of the
Central Minnesota Medical society
has been invaded by death. In the
selection of his victim, the grim reaper
grasped with unfeeling hands and re-
moved from our midst one who has
endeared himself to US all by his many
virtues. One Of the most active and
enthusiastic organizers of this So
ciety-and it's late president
Jacob F. Whiting.
An empty chair in the family circle
is always sad reminder of the un-
p certainty of life, and source of pro-
found sorrow, but, when death claims
the life of benefactor of the human
race in the full vigor of his manhood,
and in the zenith of his usefulness it
must be regarded in the light of a
public calamity. His whole profess
siOnal career has been characterized
by an unselfsh devotion to his call
ing. For twenty-nine years he was
permitted to practice his profession,
for which he possessed an Unborn nat.
ural aptitude, and which he loved
dearly. We shall henceforth miss his
genial smile and his words of wisdom
and encouragement. The eye that
penetrated the mystery of disease and
tathomed the depths of the human
heart has been dimmed by death, and
the hand that welded the scalpel with
confidence and accuracy is forever at
rest. The lips that uttered words OF
cheer, hope, and comfort in the sick
room are silenced, never to speak
again. We, his nearest and dearest
friends, have sustained a loss in his
death which Time, the healer of most
human woes, can not repair.
In Spencer Brook, where DR.. Whit
ing had practiced for a quarter of a
century, his diligence, pleasing per-
sonality and his tender devotion to
the sick gained for him a large gen
eral practice and in this locality be

TEACHERS MEETING
Convention of Mile Laos County As
ISOLATION Held in High School
Building on Saturday.
Program One of Most Interesting
Ever Presented and Attendance
Is Highly Satisfactory.

The meeting of the Mile Laos
Teachers association held in the high
school assembly room on Saturday
was largely attended, seventy-six
teachers and many visitors being
present. Milaca sent a full delega-
ton of instructors.
The forenoon session was opened
with prayer by Rev. J. W. Heard and
was devoted to the business of the as
ISOLATION. Superintendent Austin,
Princeton, was elected president for
the ensuing year; Chas. Heilig, Book,
vice president; Caroline Engebretson,
Milaca, secretary. Chas. Heilig and
Misses Tompkins and Edwards were
appointed program committee for
the next convention, which will prob
ably be held on Saturday, May 4, in
Milaca. S. W. Gilpin, superintendent
OF St.. Louis county, has already been
selected as one of the speakers for this
meeting.
No better committee could have been
selected than that in charge of the
program and no better posted man
than Professor Gilpin to deliver an
address.
At the afternoon session the pro-
gram, as advertised, was carried out
as near as possible. Hon. II. r.
Mallette, however, was unavoidably
absent.
Superintendent Palmer of the Mil
AGA high school delivered an address
which Was replete with sensible points
and suggestions. The address was
highly approved by the teachers and
visitors.
/ Superintendent Austin of the Prince
ton schools is a gentleman who is ever
ready to lend helping hand where
soever aid is needed in any worthy
cause, and especially so along educa-
tional lines. His address to the
teachers was one from which they
could not fail to gather much useful
information. Mr. Austin is mighty
learned on matters pertaining to edu-
cational methods. This has been with
him almost lifetime study and teach
ers who take his advice cannot 20 far
amiss.
Miss Sellhorn demonstrated to the
meeting what an up-to-date geography
class should be. She showed that her
pupils have had splendid training and
that they were especially good on rec
itation work. Miss Sellhorn's efforts
are highly commendable.
Mrs. Fl. G. Cooney, in her inimit-
able style, sang two pretty selections.
She was accompanied on the piano
by Mrs. Ben Soule.
Miss Peterson of the Princeton high
school recited "The Old Red Cradle"
and in so doing demonstrated her
ability as an elocutionist of the first
order. She was accompanied on the
piano by Miss Thompson.
The Apollo Male Quartet sang one
number, and, in response to hearty
encore, rendered a comical selection
which brought down the house.
This ended the days proceedings.

SETTLED OUT OF COURT.

Attorney Mcmillan Succeeds in Obtaining
Snug Sum for His Client.
Through the instrumentality of At
torney Mcmillan an important dam
age suit was last week settled without
recourse to hearing in court. The
action was brought by Theresa A..
Swart of Pease to recover damages
for injuries sustained by being pre-
cipitated from train at Pease STA
tion while endeavoring to alight from
said train on August Is, 1906.
At Pease there is no platform other
than that utilized for loading milk,
and upon the occasion at issue the
coach in which Mrs. Swart was trav-
cling was at considerable distance
from this platform. The train was a
G. A. r. excursion and was excep-
tionally long. At the point where the
coach occupied by Mrs. Swart stopped
there was steep grade which brought
the lowest step about four feet from
the ground. She was unable to alight
without assistance and made effort to
attract the attention of some one to
render such assistance. AS she stood
upon the steps the train started with
out warning and threw her upon the
track. From being thus precipitated
she sustained severe injuries. *
Mr.. Mcmillan, after long contro-
versy, eventually succeeded in getting
the railroad company to acknowledge
its liability and to pay to the claimant
an amount satisfactory to her. The
sum paid over was a large one.
