postmaster at Nevberry, Fla, stating
that the safe of Tucker & Rolands.
at That place. was blown open and
robbed On last Saturday night, and
that considerable money was secured

Among the ilI-gotten gains was a
check for $50 in favor of D. H. Hold

OF this city. Mr.. Holder is a rural
delivery carrier, and is paid fom the
Jacksonville postofice.
A few days ago safe robbers oper-

about $1,000. These robbers seem
to give their attention to small towns
and residents and business houses in
small municipalities and country
towns should be on their guard.

Mysterious Disappearance.

The Tampa correspondence of
Times-UniOn of Sth, says: William
Rice, a former clerk at the DeSoto
hotel, of this city mysteriously dis
appeared from his home on Ross
avenue early yesterday morning and
though diligent search has been made
for him by his wife, no trace of where
he has gone has yet been found.
Early in the morning his wife went
to the Office of the City Transfer Com
pany, on Polk street, and opened up
the establishment as has been her
usual custom, Mr.. Rice, who is also
employed there, generally following
her in a short time. After waiting
for some time for his coming, Mrs.
Rice returned home and discovered
that her husband had left with a
suit case packed with his clothes, hay
ing also packed his trunk as If for
a long trip. During the day Mrs.
Rice received a telegram from Car
ter's station that her husband had
gotten OF a train at that point and
she went there in search of him but
failed to ascertain his whereabouts,
and returned to this city last night
much distressed about her husbands
sudden departure. Mr.. Rice has
borne a splendid reputation here as
an industrious, sober and steady
young man and his precipitate leay-
ing of the city has elements Of con-
siderable mystery about IT,"

Mr.. w. NJ. Bennett then introduced
the orator Of the day, Col. /. J. Car
ter, of Live Oak. Nothing but a YER
batim reproduction of the grafton
could do it justice. 1t was historical,
instructive, patriotic and polished, a
worthy production of one of the best
minds in the State. The singing of
way down upon the Suwannee
River" and the "Star Sprangled
Banner" by the Park Glee Club were
heart-warming features that will be
long remembered.
A fine slippery pole stood ready for
use, and an excellent road had been
especially prepared for the contests
of speed and skill. The exhibitions
of speed and Craftsmanship were of a
high class and immensely enjoyed by
all. The tournament was entered by
but few, but the riding and skill in
taking the ring will certainly prove
a great stimulus to our young men
to become better acquainted with the
saddle and take better care of their
horses.
The Park Hotel had expected a
crowd, but the number of guests far
exceeded the most sanguine expecta-
tons. The committee have been high
ly complimented upon the success of
their efforts. The Auxiliary Commit
tee of ladies received the highest
eneomiums for the delightful exer-
cises by the children by whom they
had been dressed and drilled.

Good Job for Gus Brown.
metropolis, Sth.)

Some men are born great, others
have greatness thrust upon them.
Governor Napoleon B. Broward has
appointed NJ. Augustus Brown. Of
Jacksonville, to be State inspector of
naval stores for Florida. The lob
is a good one. and pays between
$4,000 and $4,000 per annum.
Governor Broward has certainly
been good to Gus" Brown. Brown
was chosen by Ex-Governor Jennings
TO be supervisor of registration of
Duval county. When Governor Bro
ward was inaugurated he selected
Gus Brown as his private secre-
tary. Later, when W. Bloxham
Pickett, sheriff of Duval county, died,
Governor Broward appointed Brown
to succeed him, In the subsequent
election Brown was a candidate to
succeed himself, and received 276
votes out of a poll of over $500.
Governor BrOward then called Brown
to a clerical position during the last
session of the Legislature, and now
has made another berth for him in
making him State inspector of naval
stores, to succeed j. R. Parker. The
position pays one-quarter of a cent
on every barrel produced in this city.

families from the farms and near BY
towns and villages, while during the
day eleven trains, each brought its
quota of pleasure-seekers from more
distant points, until there were as
sembled what was said to be the
largest crowd ever seen in this sec
ton Of the state.
AT the time for the beginning Of
the program the rain took a fresh
start, neceSsitating a poStponement
until the afternoon. The playing Of
a march by the Fifth City Band
brought into view a procession of
youth and beauty costumed in the
National cOlors and representing each
state in the Union. Columbia was
worthily represented by the stately
Miss Ruby Jordan, elegantly attired,
leading the column.
In perfect order the procession
formed a semicircle near the speake
stand, each representative with a
small flag held by the right hand and
extending across and in front of the
left shoulder, a moments pause, and
an immense flag was hoisted way
down the center of the circle and with
all eyes fixed upon it was given
thrice repeated salute with a precis-
sion, beauty and impressiveness that
will never be forgotten by those who
saw II. The singing of America was
then announced, and under the lead
ership of the Park Glee Club, and
Band accompaniment. the vast assem-
blage sang America with a patriotic
ardor that thrilled the hearts of all

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Mot since
the Louisiana exposition has st.
Louis entertained such a crowd of
spectators, prominent politicians,
governors, senators, congressman
and millionaires as gathered along
the riverfront to greet the arrival
of Roosevelt when the presidential
boat steamed down to the levee.
On a great banner on every steam
boat appeared the words, dig her
deep through Dixie and -Four
teen feet through the valley" re-
ferring to the deep water naviga-
ton scheme for the river.
After short delay the president
made an address and then review
ed the naval pageant He will re-
sumo his trip down the river this
afternoon.
With the presidential steamer is
the steamer Alton, bearing gov
errors of % states. The f1otilla
will reach Cairo at 9 tomorrow
morning, where the president is
scheduled to make an address.
Memphis will be reached Friday
afternoon.
The presidents boat, with the
blue flag of the chief executive fly
ing, passed under the Eads bridge
nearly an hour ahead of schedule
time. Committees representing va
rious organizations came on board
and escorted the president to a
carriage.
"By George, but this is a great

carriages passed the decorated

In his speech today the president
pointed the great necessity of re-
opening river navigation, especially
in view of the value OF the Pa
mama canal to the Middle West.
From3 the prospective increase in
shipping he argued the need of a
greater navy to protect commerce
and I'd enforce the Monroe doctrine.
The navy in two months would be
starting for the Pacific coast, and
after a stay there would return to
the Atlantic. Such trips were urg-
ed as necessities Of naval training
that would be greatly simplified by
completion of the canal, but a
greater navy would be necessary
even then.
On the subject of corporation
control the president argued that
he was not trying to centralize
power in the federal government.
but was working to have the power
really resting in the constitution
effectively applied to modern con-
ditions. Only by this means, he
said, could proper supervision be
maintained over interstate traffic.
He cited the national banking law
as an instance of the power con-
tanned in the constitution, and urg-
ed that the same scope was cover
ed in regard to railroad regulation
If the provisions of the constitu-
ton we're intelligently applied to
situations now confronting the gov
eminent. He demanded a source
of power capable of representing
the whole people and seeing that
the railroads neither inflict nor
endure injustice.

DOLLY GETS STILL
ANOTHER DIVORCE

Dolly McHaney this morning was
granted a divorce from Charles
McHaney on the grounds OF
drunkenness and non-suppOrt. Both
people are performers at the 0. X.
theater. She says her husband has
been in the habit of drawing her
salary as we'll as his own and
spending both over the bar. The
pair were married about year
ago by Justice Hinkle.
McHaney claims that he knew
nothing Of the marriage until two
days afterward, when friends told
him of 1t. He had been on a drunk
for some days before and was
oblivious to the meaning of the
proceedings during which he was
united to Dolly.
The woman is famed in the mat,
ter of divorces and it is said that
she has secured more marital sep
arations in the past 10 years than
any other woman on record.
McHaney, following the example
of all Dolly's former husbands
made no contest.
