A Public Demonstration.

Prof. 9. L. Pribble, editor of the
Western Naturalist of Topeka, Kan
sas, has secured the Ari.. ..ory for to-
night, and will give most entertain
ing and practical talk and demon
stration showing the varieties of
mosquitoes that carry diseases. and
show how to recognize them.
All of the physicians of Palatka as
well as many of the leading business
men have united in asking Prof.
Pribble to give this demonstration
to which admission will be free for
the public at large.
Prof. Pribble gave a free deinon-
stration at the high school last Mon
day morning. He is travelling in the
south for this purpose. He has large
hand-painted drawings of the mos
quito pests, which he exhibits, and
his talk will not only be instructive
but entertaining as we'll. His dem
onstrations have been attested as be-
ing of great value by educators and
medical men all over the country, es-
pecially that part which shows pre-
cisely how malaria is spread by mos
quitoes-and every one in Palatka
ought to know something of this,

HOme-Made Catarrh Cure.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known. The
name "Cyclone" is given to the follow
Ing prescription, it is supposed, because
OF its promptness in driving from the
blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where located.
To prepare this mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract DandelioD, one ounce Compound
Kargon and three ounces Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use
In teaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal pois-
ons, which, If not eradicated, are alb
sorbed by the mucous membrane, and
an open sore or catarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as 1t is the
of an eminent catarrh spec
alist of national reputation.

Palatka People Appreciate.

That the people of this city and
county appreciate an endeavor on
the part of merchants to supply them
with only high class goods never had
more pronounced exemplification
than is seen in the enormous busi-
ness of the Fearnside Clothing COM
pany this spring.
The store is filled with high art,
tailor made clothing from the most
reliable houses, and the stock in
other departments, especially Pana-
ma and straw hats and mems shoes
is fully abreast of that carried in
cities of 10000 people.
Mr.. Fearnside is gratified at the
success of his efforts this spring.
He states to the News that his cash
sales for the month of March up to
this time is more than $4,000 over
that of the same period last year.
The business for the past, several
weeks has been so steady as to create
comment on the streets,

Of Interest 10 Ladies.

The City Shoe Store of which Mr..
Herbert Crook is proprietor is meet
ing with remarkable success in its
efforts to supply the ladies of this
community with a shapley and real
ly artistic shoe-a shoe that really
ranks as top-notcher in all the
cities of this country. The shoe is
known as the "Queen Quality" and
it is made in all the leading shapes.
Mr.. Crook is using this paper extern
sively to spread q knowledge of the
eXcellencies of this particular shoe
in this section and his success is a
source of pride to the News. This
store has made speciality of its
Easter offerings this year, and for
ladies, gentlemen, misses and chill
dren has remarkably fine line in
patent and all leather and in canvass
shoes. But the ladies should not
forget to look at the "Queen Quail
ity" when next in want of shoes.

LOSS MOST SERIOUS.
Davis Tank Factory Fire
Causes Loss Of Fifty Thous-
and Dollars.

The destruction by fire of the G
M. Davis q Sons cypress tank fac
tory in this city last Friday morning
has put out of business for period
of at least six months one of Pa.
latka's leading industries.
| According to a statement furnish
ed the News by Mr.. Howell A. Davis
the loss is over 500 900, which
amount is about equally divided be-
tween the plant itself and the lum-
ber stock.
The insurance amounts to but $l5,-
600. This was all with the &. Loper
Bailey company agency in this city.
Mr.. Davis had his business thor
oughly systematized. His filing sys-
tenn of letters and business transact
tions constituting q record from
which he could get instant and COM
plete information, and these with his
blue prints, etc, made up an addi-
tional loss and one that can never be
replaced.
Much of his machinery was of
special make and this will require
much time to duplicate.
It is more THAI likely that the
plant will be reconstructed, though
at this writing Mr.. Davis is hesita-
ting. In the event that he concludes
to re-establish it will take at least
six months of fast work to get in
shape to manufacture One of the
reasons assigned for his hesitancy to
re-establish the plant here is his in
ability to secure additional ground
room, something Mr.. Davis says he
has long needed
The G. M. Davis d Sons cypress
tank factory has grown from very
small beginnings 20 years ago to be
the leading cypress tank manufac-
tory in the country. It's product
went to every section of the United
States except the northwest, and it
enjoyed large Cuban and South
American trade as well as in Eng
land and other European countries.
The business last year amounted to
over $4,000, and the prospects this
year were that it would cross the
$780, 900 mark. While the firm name
of g. M. Davis q Sons was retained
the business for many years has been
owned solely by Mr.. Howell A.
Davis. He is a Palatka born and
raised young man and in a business
sense is not only self-made but we'll
made. He is one of the business
men of this city in whom the people
feel an intense pride. And
in his first serious setback he has
the unstinted sympathy of all.
The grounds are being cleared and
it is likely that Mr.. Davis will fully
decide his future course in day or |
two.

LETTER TO JUDGE COKE.
alatka, Florida

Dear Sir: The easiest way we
know-of to make little money is
il you're going to paint--to paint
with the paint that takes least gal
Ions.
Take small job; say it takes 10
gallons Devoe, two coats; that's an
average house. When the lob is
done and the bill comes-in, it is $50;
the paint etc. $3.50; the rest is for
labor and carriage; the labor is fixing
the surface, shifting ladders scaffolds
pulleys and ropes, and brushing on
paint.
Take another job exactly like that !;
try another paint; it takes II gallons
The bill is $40 more. Take another
exactly the same; another paint: IL
takes 20 gallons The bill is 500.
There is only one Devoe: there's a.
dozen l2-gallon paints, and 100 that
take 20 gallons to cover a 1O-gallon
job.
The only difficulty is in finding
out Devoe. After that you save
work; there's less work in 10 than in
II or 20 gallons; less paint to buy and
less to brush-on and less wages to
pay.
II Devoe were only little better
than others, there'd be some difficult
ty in finding-out the difference. 1t
goes twice as far as half the paints !:
that ought to be easy.
1t wears longer too. You'll wait a
good while, If you wait to find-out
how long it wears; there are thous-
ands of people who know that the
least-gallons paint wears longest.
Yours truly,
56 + w DEVOE d co.

Is Getting Better Now.

Judge V. Walton, the well-known
young attorney of this city who has
been seriously i'll for the past three
weeks with internal abscess, was
taken to DR.. Worley's hospital in St.
Augustine Monday evening for an
operation.
The operation was performed ON
Tuesday morning and Mr.. Walton
was on the table for an hour and a
half.
At last reports he was getting along
nicely and it is thought he will come
through all right and be able to re-
turn home in about 10 days. During
his severe illness of the past three
weeks Mr.. Walton's family and
friends have been very anxious con-
cerning the outcome of his illness,
but the intense strain is gradually
passing now that encouraging re-
ports are continually coming from

"Ze Damnable Outrage"

"Eet ees ze most damnable! Eet
ees re outrage! Ze ladee ees just as
! good as we are! Sacre! Dam
What you meen to eensult ze ladee |!
These and more were the angry
protests of a Frenchman, made to
Landlord Jacobson of the Saratoga
Hotel. The Freuchman and his
wife with a negro woman companion
were about to enter the dining room
of the Saratoga for breakfast We'd
nesday morning, when they were in
tercepted by the landlord, who po-
litely informed them that :he negro
woman would be provided for in the
kitchen.
The party, including the colored
woman, were well dressed and evil
IDENTIFY posed of means. They had
come in on the early morning
train. When they found that Mr..
Jacobson was obdurate, the party
picked up their luggage and went
down the street gesticulating and
breathing mongrel French impreca-
tions upon "Ze dam countree of re
American hog"
Leaving the Saratoga the party
went to the European restaurant on
Lemon street which they also tried
to enter. Seeing the negro woman
about to take seat at one of his
tables, Mr.. James stepped mp and
told the man in his most diplomati-
cally polite but firm way that the
negress would not be allowed seat.
Then the air was split with more
French profanity, and when the
Frenchman insisted that the negro
woman is as good as l am" Mr.
James assured him that he was not
prepared to dispute that statement,
but that she could not eat in his
restaurant.
The party then went up the street
and half hour later were seen en-
joying themselves in Brady's colored
eating house. They were from the
West Indies.

Memorial Of Mrs. Minnie D.
Miner,

The Ladies Aid Society of the
Presbyterian church, Paiatka, Fla,
is called upon to record the death
and mourn the loss of Mrs. Minnie d.
Miner.
The call came so suddenly on Jan.
lst, 1907, that we are forcefully re-
minded that, "in the midst of life
we are in DEATH" Adopting the Sa-
vior's own rule of judging ''by their
fruits We shall know them" we are
comforted with the thought that she
was ready to answer the summons
and ready to meet her Savior. That
grace which produced meekness,
gentleness, faith, love in her life was
sufficient to sustain her in the hour
of death. And we look forward with
confident expectation and hope to
the time when we shall meet her be-
fore the Fathers throne and renew
this acquaintance and fellowship of
earth.
AS we are called upon to make this
record, Be it resolved:
1st. That this society, though sem
sible of its loss and filled with sor-
row, submit without questioning to
this dispensation of Gods Provi-
dence,
End. That we strive to cultivate,
in our own lives, those Christian
graces which characterized her life
it beautiful and powerful,
3rd. That the Society extend its
sympathy to the family in this their
present loss and aff1ction, and that q
copy of these resolutions be sent to
them,
4th. That page in our record
book be set apart to the memory of
this departed member,
5th. That copy of these resolu-
tions be furnished each of the Palat-
ka papers for publication.

A SUNDAY TRAGEDY.
James New Shoots and Instantly ki,Is Ed Randolph on Linden
 Island.

News reached the city Sunday night ot fatal shooting affray on Linden Island, in which Ed Randolph, a tim Der man and saw filer in the employ Of Capt. John Young, was shot and in. stantly killed by James New.
 AS near as we can learn. the facts are that New and Randolph had been enemies for about year. or q little more, and on one or two occasions came very near having difficulty. New claimed that Randolph had broken up his home, and was the cause qfa@sepsration between himself and wife Randolph denied this. and claimed to be entirely innocent of the charge. It is said New had told Randolph that he would kill him if he came about him any more. OF had threatened him in some way. and Randolph had annoyed him frequent ly. New was never arrested before.
 Last Sunday Randolph hired team at Mallory x Eldridges $ stable, and had Fred Hess drive him to the residence of Mr. Al Smith on Linden Island, where it is said he went to see a Mrs. McCombs, to get her to take a job of cooking. New happened to be visiting at Smiths that day, and just after Randolph had had conversa- tion with Mrs. McCombs about talk ing the situation as cook, he and New met, and after some words. New shot him dead, after saying, Randolph you have followed me up long enough, and this thing has got to come of. :" or something like that.
 The tragedy occurred about o'clock Sunday afternoon. Coroner Todd was notified as soon as possible, and he started at once to the scene of the killing, summoned a jury, and early Monday morning held an inquest. There was very little evidence to be had. No person was present at the time of the shooting, but Mrs. Me Combs and her little son, and she was so frightened she could not tell much about it, as she was trying to get her little son out of the way of danger from the pistol. Mir. Smith was in the house. The jury got all the in- formation they could at the time, and rendered verdict that Ed Randolph came to his death from pistol shots in the hands of Jim New They did not exonerate him, and left that mat ter to Coroner Todd, who issued a warrant for the arrest of New, charg- ing him with murder The warrant was placed in the hands of Constable Joe Myers, of Franks township, but he was unable to loeaee New, though he made diligent search for him.
