The first arrest this year for viola ton of the Florida game laws was made this morning when John Willis, A negro, was taken into custody on the charge of shooting quail out of season. He was detected by the county game warden At point three miles north of charged, several quail. The penalty fin this state for violating the game flaw is a very severe one.
 Since last year, when the coEnty ap- pointed a game warden. there have been no violations of either the game or oyster laws. and as a result game Is more plentiful in this county this season than evsry- known before

 The members of the Florida Sta@ Troops are being put through hard practice at the coast artillery fortifi- cations, where they are in camp with the regulars, and 1t is believed that the encampment this year will be of more real value to the troops than all combined encampments during the past four years.
 For the first time the soldiers are experiencing real soldier life. as they are not allowed furloughs to come to the city, but remain on the island night and day learning the use of the mortar batteries, the large disappearing rifles. the means of defending the forts against attacks. etc. Before the encampment is concluded a night attack by vessels will be plan ned and the five companies of artil- lery of the regular branch and the eleven companies of state troops will defend the Qualifications and city against this attack. This attack will como unexpected, the night and hour not being made known, and the troops will be reused out oNB camp without preparation.

SUE FOR s2o.OOO
PROPERTY OWNERS CLAIM IN-
 ADE0UATE WATER SUPPLY.
Seek to Recover Damages From Pensa- cola Government For Loss of
 Houses by Fire--News of Florida.

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 21--(Special)-- Suit for s2o,000 against the Pensacola Water Company was filed in the Cir cult Court today by Kate l.. and c. RI Wilson. who aliege they suffered to this extent by inadequate water sup ply when their property was destroyed by fire.
 The fire occurred two years ago when many prominent residences on West Gregory street were destroyed by the flames. The plaintiffs were the owners of Winter Rest. large three story frame structure, and also iarge~resi- dence adjoining. The fire started in the Tourist hotel and It is alleged that if the water company had supplied sufficient water pressure the fire de partment could have controlled and ext!ngnished the flames with but little damage to the hotel property. The department. however. not only could not extinguish the fire before 1t con stunned the hotel, but was powerIess to control 1t and other residences caught and were destroyed. The pressure of water was so low at times that an investigation by the city council resulted. but the in vestigation concluded without any definite action being taken.
 The owners of some of the property destroyed have now brought suit to recover damages. The action is the first of its nature ever to be brought in the courts here.

Live Oak Democrat II 10 indeed
strange that In Florida where hogs
grow wild ard flourish spontaneously
and luxuri8ntly 80 to speak, we should
have to import fresh pork from Chicago.
Until we stop that kind of business our
farmers will never get rich, no matter
how HIGH the price Of cotton. II would
be hardly less absurd for our people To
go abroad 90 buy cotton than TO send TO
Chicago for hOr meat, and fresh hog
meat at that But they are doing it in
Alachua county, and doubtless in other
counties also. The Gainesville Sun
says:
THE Sun editor was surprised 70 OBJ
serve the express man delivering six
head Of hogs to a butcher in this city
last Thursday from q Chicago packing
house. Can Il be possible that there 10
not sufficient pork raised IN Alachua
county 70 supply the local demand Of
Gainesville II such be the case II h a
reflection upon the farmers Of this
county. and another season should not
witness the importation Of Chicago
pork. There are ample ranges In
Alacbua county for sufficient hogs %
supply the entire State with fresh pVrk,

The Evening News CLEANS the folioW-
ing from the enumeration Of the Sena-
atOrial qualifications Of w. J. Bryan. OF
JaeksOnviIis-where al the candidates
seem "a come from As graphically pOr-
trnyed by the Tallahasgee correspondent
Of the Savannah Morning News:
''In appearance Bryan 2 tai, equare
shOuldeF6o and the model OF ChriBty
picture, with the added attraetiyeness
that he has lines Of character in his
handsomeIy modelled face that the
Christy man don't have. He reminds
one Of the picture of Sherlock Holmes,
as depicted m character portrayal by
Herbert Kelsey"
This IL, we Rravely submit, enough to
warrant the friends and supporters Of
Mr.. Bryan in crying for help.
Well may the junior jacksonville as
pirant for the toga Of Call and Mallory
and Paseo pray to be delivered from his
newspaper friend" "-and especially
those Of the Tallahassee variety.
Once let the impression get out that
Mr.. Bryan is running for the Senate on
his looks, and his political grave will be
already dug.
It is this sort of thing that has Sc
seriously threatened the ambition of
Hon. Park Trammell. Mr.. Trammell is
really good-looking, and this fact has
crept into the newspapers. 1t is unfor-
tunate, for it will take all of Mr.. Tram
mells best efforts to demonstrate that
his claims of fitness for the Senate are
based on brains rather than beauty.
If the Tallahassee cue is taken up by
Mr.. Bryan's other friends, the Jackson
vile man will have to ''get busy" and
try to live down his reputation for pull
chritude.
If recollection serves us correctly,
Florida has never elected a handsome
man to the United States Senate, or 70
any other high Office. As q general
thing, brains and beauty do not 60 to-
gether IN men, and especially In politi-
"pretty" Is doomed TO defeat--for he
good lockers" they being naturally
jealous of the personal charms Of 9TH
ere. Neither will he receive the support
or the men who are not Rood-lOoking,
for they generally gaze with disfavOr
upon the handsome" man. And, as
seven out Of every ten men are az ugly
as mud fences, the fate of the aspirant
who is ''the model of Christy picture"
can be easily forecagted.
The Evening News hopes that Mr..
Bryan is not as handsome as he Is paint
ed. II he is his real friends should per-
suade him to disguise his good lo0ks az
much as possible before the campaign
opens. Let him give his beard full
growth, however scrubby itmay prove (;
let him cultivate half negligent attire
and acquire, for political purposes, a
careless carriage, the frequent accom-
paniment Of q well balanced mind. Let
him don wool hat and avoid haircut.
And, IL he cannot approximate the
Browardian claim Of humble station a. q
deck hand, let him appear as the pro-
duct Of the remotest backwoods or the
cOmmoneFt farm that Florida can af-
ford
But. let him first squelch the Talla-
hassee admirer who portrays him in the
role OF q pOseur for the magazine illus
traitor or the tailor's fashion plate,
Sni who arrays him in the paint, per-
fume and prettiness Of the matinee
idol.

not, more disgusting to William J. Bryan

The Gainesville Elevator has the fol-
lowing timely article on Sunday Night
Shopping, which will apply equally at
Tallahassee
''Tt seems that the pastors Of the va
EiOus churches in Gainesville all united
upon having one subject Tor their dis
courses last Sunday. There was but lit
tie difference which church you attended,
for from ali came the denunciation Of
late Saturday night shopping and the
evils arising therefrOm. In q moral, IN
q spiritual sense, q community is guilty
Of q great wrong when, by their care
leasnass ia not attending to business
early In the day, they compel merchants,
clerks, drivers and animals to work,
perhaps, after midnight on Saturday
nights, in order to furnish them with
articles for Sunday consumption. Ex-
euses may be made to justify such ac-
tions, but, IL sifted down, they will not
prove worthy Of acceptance. There is
much sense, after all, in the old jewish
law to the Sabbath observance, begin
ming at sundown Saturday evening. II
the lady of the house fails to discover
the need of a dimes worth Of soda,
canned goods, sugar, or whatever II
may be, before six O'Clock on Saturday,
is il q Christian act TO keep several men
and q wagon in service after that hour
to accommodate her because of her neg
ligence? No one is capable Of enjoying
q church worship of God after a pre-
vlous working day Of eighteen hours.
Can you blame these people for remain
ing in bed until a late hour Sunday
morning and resting through the dayl
Whose fault Ia IL? Not theirs, because
If they closed the store at q proper
hour, you would be indignant. The Gus
conner is the one that forces the partial
abandonment Of religion, and Il Ia the
customer who will have this added to
their other sins to be answered for"
In the large cities the big stores have
set q splendid example by closing at
noon, or ] O'Clock, on Saturdays, but
that would be carrying things TO an ex-
treme In places like ST. Augustine,
where merchants are usually paid Sat
urday afternoons. There Il, however,
no good reason for keeping employees
behind the counters until ii o'clock and
very often midnight. A sensible com
promise for Saturday nights would be 8
O'Clock.
