| G. Stockton's letter to Mr. ii. M,
Flagler, the Standard Oil and rail-
road magnate, the Ocalo Banner
of the 10th prints some very in
teresting matter, which is com
mended to the attention of the
Pensacola News, q paper that
thinks there is nothing in the
aforesaid letter to affect Mr..
Stockton's candidacy, The fol-
lowing is what the Banner says;
THE PUNTA GoRDA HERALD
reprints a letter written by Mr..
Jno. 9. Stockton to Mr., Flagler
under date of June II, 1892, in
which the following sentence
Sccurs:
eve have already secured a
large portion of the outstanding
stock &nd hope soon to complete
the financial agreement entered
into with you last March, and
trust in the future that you will
have no cause to complain of our
management"
In entering into this Financial
agreement" with Mr.. Flagler, our
own understanding is that the
| Messrs. Stockton went to Mr.,
Flagler with very pretty story,
telling him of the kind of daily
paper they proposed to establish
that its mission would be to
promote in every possible way the
states material development, and
that it would work band-in-hand
with Mr.. Flagler in that direction;
that, with proper management and
ample financial backing, they
could make it cover the entire
territory of Florida, aud besides
being valuable auxiliary in the
states development, it would
prove paying investment as well.
Mr.. Flager gave kindly ear
to the story and the interview
ended by his advancing consid-
cradle sum of money for the es-
tablishment of this greater news
paper, and was secured in the pay
mcnt of same by lot of first
mortgage 6 per cent. bonds,
interest payable half-annually.
The money thus advanced was
invested in typesetting machines,
faster presses, ETC.; and there
came time when more money
was needed, and another interview
was held with Mr. Flagler, and
more money was advanced and
more mortgage bonds were
issued. Oar information is that
this went on for a long time, and
each interview meant more
money.
In the meanwhile, the paper
became very hostile to Mr.. Flag
Ter and his interests, and another
daily newspaper was established in
jacksonville, which opposed the
Times-UDion and the policies it
advocated.
The promoters of this second
daily newspaper went to MIR Flag
Ter also and gave him 'spiel" of
how they were friendly to his
interests and that he ought 10 do
as much for his friends as he had
done for his enemies; so the inter-
view ended in Mr.. Flagler quitting
up more money, and getting
in return more newspaper first
mortgage bonds.
So Mr.. Flagler was systematic
ally "milked" by both factions.

The National Manufacturers Asso-

are being made that the association
will if necessary prevent the Speakers

his obstinacy. Republicans of this
State would share in general regret
over Mr.. Cannons enforced retirement
but they will be more actively con-

association also contemplates disciplin
ing Serene Z. Payne. for aiding and
abetting the Speaker in his contuma-
cious policy. Mr.. Payne has been the

Hurts Americans. Helps Foreign
erS.

While time wage reductions and re-
duced working forces and working
hours are of almost daily occurrence
in the great industrial centers the
larger inflow of competitive goods from
Europe goes merrily on. The official
outgiving as to trade with Germany for
eight months ending with February,
1908, tells how the greater latitude for.
differentiation is helping the Germans
and hurting American labor. Increase
imports in highly competitive lines
bearing ad valorum duties continue in
spite of hard times. For these eight
months Germany has sold us an in
crease of cotton knit goods amount
ing TO nearly s1,20O,OO0 of pottery
nearly 100000. of paper and its man
ufactures 100000, of toys over s7OOO,-
900, and of wool dress goods nearly
$500'0O0. The total increase in those
lines is nearly $4,3OOO,OOO. Yet our
gross imports for the eight months
have decreased more than $91, 900, 900.
No wonder that from the textile and
other suffering industries the cry goes
up, "Abrogate the German agree

It has not yet been determined
whether all of these are instrumental
in carrying malaria and therefore they
may furnish a fertile field for inves-
tigation.
Certain genera, technically called
Megarhinus, Psorophora, and lutizia

ing any disease hostile to man, wage
war on their weaker cousins and at

They are cannibals of their sort.
Rather than extreminate mosquitoes
of these habits it might be well to

Jellied Vegetables.

"Jellied vegetables are particularly
suitable for luncheon or supper dish
to be served as an accompaniment to
almost any kind of cold sliced meat"
says Fannie Merritt Farmer I'M Womans
Home Companion for June. Remove
the jelly to serving dish, and sur
round with the slices of the meat over
tapping one another; then garnish
with celery tips. Cold meat needs to
be very thinly sliced to be at its best,
therefore do see to it that the closet
can boast of sharp knives, for without
them the work cannot be perfectly
done. Soak one tablespoonful of
graduated gelatin in one fourth of a
cupful of cold water,and dissolve in
one cupful of boiling water; then
add one fourth of a cupful each of
sugar and vinegar, two tablespoonfuls
OF lemon juice and one teaspoonful of
salt. Strain, cool and when beginning
to stiffen add on a cupful of celery cut
In small pieces, one half cupful of
finely shredded cabbage and one and

pieces. Turn into a mold and chill

A VAST FORTUNE
MAY Be HIDDEN IN tree
Belief Prevails In Evansville That
Man Hid a Fortune Near
Henderson.

Stories OF huge sum of money said
to have been possessed by the late DR..
w. d. Lawler, who died last Saturday
in apparent restitution has led Char
les Bevinger, carpenter 1907 Gum
street a close friend of the dead man,
to make search for the missing mon
ey, says the Evansville Journal-News.
Bevinger will leave in a day or two
for the old haunts of Lawler near Ow-
ensboro, KY, and Henderson. He
declares that Lawler often displayed
large sums of money to him and that
the dead doctor also frequently spoke
OF valued treasures he had hidden
under an elm tree at a spot on the
banks of the Ohio river near Henderson
known as the "old washout." Bevin-
ger declared his intention Wednesday
to dig about the elm tree, believing
some hidden money to be buried there.
This morning Bevinger called on
Coroner Laval and informed him that
he believed Lawler had left money In
his old rooms at 316 Sycamore street.
Together with Deputy Coroner Lair,
Bevinger went to the rooms where i
search was made of the premises but
no money was forthcoming. Pillows
and bed clothes were carefully look
ed into, boxes, cupboards and other
places were inspected, but there was
nothing like money to be found. Be-
vinger declared that Lawler kept a
large amount of paper money tightly
packed under a steel press. Lawler,
Bevinger says, told him he kept the
money in this odd place to protect it
from fire. No press was found in Law
ler's rooms.
Previous to his death Lawler told
several of his intimate friends a
strange story concerning an attempt
made to poison him by persons who
were DESTROYS of securing his wealth.
According TO Lawler the attempt to
take his life was made several years
ago while he was living with his fam
lily in Henderson, KY, Following the
incident he had some trouble with
his wife and a separation between
them followed.
Lawler came to Evansville and en-
gagged in the business of selling herbs
and roots. He did quite an extensive
business, lived frugally and the story

Typhoid Fever Precautions

l. Typhoid is caused by a germ
which is found in the mouth, stools
and urine of patients suffering with
the disease. Therefore In every case
of typhoid the spit, Vomit and dis
charge should be sterilized. Place one
teaspoonful of formolin in the vessel
with those discharges, leave them
standing covered is minutes and
then bury in back part of tn
garden. Never put piece of
newspaper on the floor for the
patient to spit on. Flies get in
10 it and carry it on their feet to
the table anddeposit 1t on the food
and so spread the disease.
Keep iall flies out of the
room. t here is nothing worse
than flies for spreading typhoid
