TOM TIGERS
BONES ARRIVE
Supposed Skeleton Received
in Box Shipped from
Brooklyn.

The Fort Pierce News says: The
News last week stated that the bones
of Chief Tom Tiger, which were stolen
away in January, had been shipped 10
Florida to be restored TO their proper
place in the Everglades. A box which
is supposed 20 contain the skeleton of
this departed Seminole chief, arrived
in Fort Pierce Saturday night by eX-
press. The box is addressed to
County Commissioner Peter Rauller
son, who lives at Tanue, and he has
been notified of their arrival The
shipment was made from Brooklyn
but no marks were apparent TO show
who was the shipper. Mr.. Raullerson
is expected in town this week to Sc
cure the box and return the contents
TO the Indians
1t will be remembered by those IA
miliar with the occurrences of this
grave robbery that Mr.. RaullersOn
acted as guide to FlOurnOy on his eX-
petition TO the Indian villages and
trading posts when he visited them
in January. and was the first to bring
to the coast news of the anger of the
Indians and their threat of vengeance
for the dissertation of the grave of
their chief. Having known Mr. Raul
lerSOn, the relic hunter probably
thought it best TO send the bones to
him, when things got too warm for
him to keep them longer
This will probably close the Incl
dent so far as it effects us locally.
However, Mr.. FlOurnoy has been in
dicted by the grand jury of Dade
county, and it may not be the close
of the matter so far as he is con-
cerned.

Here, 1t Is claimed by the labor advo-
Gates. they were subjected TO various
indignities and were compelled TO do
mental services for their dusky captors.
If they declined. they were dubbed or
prodded into compliance.
These severe measures were deemed
to be necessary by President Mckinley
and Governor Steune1berg, but there
was a good deal of Indignation all over
the country on account Of the business.
More than 400 mon were kept prisoners
in the bull pen" all summer. Their
conduct after they were released proved
that their confinement had been in
spired by more or less prudence. They
continued the agitation, with great de-
structien Of life and property. 1t was
during that stormy period that the
blowing up of the railroad station at
Independence. Colo. and the killing Of
thirteen nOnuniOn miners occurred
The deportation Of hundreds of men
under military guard followed.
A Man of Capacity.
Among all those who have been ac-
tive on labor's side of the fight william
D. Haywood. secretary treasurer Of
the federation, Il admitted TO be the
master spirit. He is about thirty eight
years Of age and is a born leader. Hay
wood is man Of good deal Of edu-
cation. which ne has acquired by his
own effort. When he was searched for
arms at the time Of his arrest, no wea-
pons were found. but he was armed
with a Bible, a copy of Shakespeare
works and dictionary. Haywood is a
Socialist Of the most uncompromising
type and his perpetual theme has been
to get the mines under state control so
that the miners might receive a greater
return for their labor. All Of the labor
officials indicted have numerous friends,
who decline absolutely to believe that
hey are in any way implicated in the
murder of Ex-Governor SteunenberK.

FOR UNIFORM
ROAD SYSTEM
Lake Butler Star Discusses
Defects in the Old Hop
Hazard Plan.
TRUNK LINES, WELL BUILT,
ACROSS COUNTRY ARE PREFER
ABLE TO PRESENT SYSTEMS OF
CONSTRUCTION - SOME GOOD
IDEAS ADVANCED.

The Lake Butler Star says: There
is a general wave of reform
as regards road matters sweeping
over the state. The tax payer is be-
ginning TO sit up and take notice ana
is lending a loud and forceful voice
for a change from the odd time
swing along" methods that have been
in vogue. 1t is to be hoped that our
county officials, who are in charge of
matters pertaining to roads, will give
the subject some careful study and
relieve the conditions that now exist.
1t is the simple truth when we state
that our roads are in a 'deplOrable
condition" They are indeed made
quate to the demands made upon
them by the travelling public-wind-
ing strings of deep sand and bog
holes they are to be Stunned by the
man driving a heavily loaded team
So many plans have been advanced
and so many columns of newspaper
space have been taken up with this
question until the officials, whose
duty it is TO supervise our road max
ing, hardly know lust where they
are at or just what the public is de-
manding of them. So many roads
need attention and so many bridges
are out of repair until they find the
funds set aside for this purpose have
been consumed before they have fairly
started.
Build One Good Road.
We believe it would be a wise plan
to fix up our most prominent roads
in proper shape first and improve the
smaller roads along in line later as
time and funds. would permit. AS it
is, we have nothing but bad roads
over the entire county.
Take the Providence and Starke
road for instance. This is consid-
cred the most used road in the
county. If a greater part of the
county road funds were used in get

The oil wagon is in commission
every day of the week, save Sunday,
and it accompIishes much good in the

is being spared to make the ponds OF
the city and the dales perfectly SAM
tary, and with this end in view cs-

proper shape, stumped, graded ana
covered with retort refuse, it would
prove of more benefit to a larger num-
Der of citizens than the same amount
spent on drifting up a few clods OF
dirt here and there about over the
county, which really is hinderance
more than a benefit to the man be-
hind the mule"
Now, why not take the entire road
fund for one year and make decent
road across our county from ProYl-
dence to Starke. When this road IS
completed it will require no more
work or repairs for years to come,
and besides will be in such shape as
to prove of some value and beneht
TO the county The next road IN line
could then be taken up and so on I'M
til within a surprisingly short time
our road system would have under
went a complete and beneficial trans
formation that would prove lasting
blessing to the travelling public at
large.
Too Many Different Methods
AS with the present system COM

his prOrata of the funds. He uses II
on roads of that district 10 suit his
own judgment, winch nine UnleS OuI
of ten falls short of the way road
should be constructed.
Another commissioner has entire
" different ideas of road building and
the roads in his district appear &C
cOrding TO his ideas. Another com
missioner has perhaps. a different
plan from any, and his roads show
up likewise taken as a whole, the
result is that the county has dis
connected plot of roads, which are
almost useless; stretch OF dirt
clods here and a span of sand there,
without the least system as to grade,
smOOthness or drainage. We are
blaming no officials for the condition
of the roads. They have no doubt
done their best with the means given
them for this purpose and we believe
are more than anxious to adopt any
plan for the betterment of our roads.
Then let us get a new plan. The old
one won't work, for we have tried il
for years and are yet at the begin
ming.
The people want a good road across
the county and others just like it TO
follow in other sections.
We have the material for your
roads here in our city. Gentlemen,
it's up to you to investigate.
