BATTLESHIP FLORIDA
To Be Pride Of the Navy and
Terror of the Seas.

AShhN VI NhS ONaoe
A late New York special says
that it is likely that the present
month will witness the laying OF
the keel of the Florida, the big
gest and most powerful of the
vessels of Uncle Sans navy,
The 10000 ton leviathan of the
seas will be constructed al the
Brooklyn navy yard, and when
completed will bo the monarch Of
the United States navy, and the
equal in fighting power and ton.
mage of any other ship ahoat.
The contract to build the Flori'
da was given to the local yard
after one of the greatest cam
paigns was waged to force the
navy department to lot the work.
ers of the Brooklyn navy yard
build her, Boards of trade, con
gressmen, senator's and every one
that couldexert any authority with
the Washington officials were
fighting night and day to get the
battleship built here.
The argument Of the experts In
Washington was that private
builders could construct a warship
or any Otherkind of vessel cheap
err and quicker than government
workers. At the time that all
this was going ON, the collier
Veslal was started ut the navy
yard. From Naval Constructor
Baxter down to the humblest ap'
prentice the feeling was rampant
that the only thing to be done to
have the ship built here was tc
show good results in the Vesial.
Now that the giant collier !:
finished and all records for quick
and cheap construction are brok'
en-, the men at the navy yard are
waiting with interest for the keel
of the Florida TO be laid. AL
though the building of a battle
ship is II greater task than The
construction of n collier, the
workers ut the navy yard have nc
fear that they will not make as
good record on the Florida as
they did on the Vestal, for they
have also built the battleship Con-
neclicut, now the pride of the
navy.
The new fighting monster is SC
much larger than the Connecticut,
the ways on which the latter was
built will have 10 be heightened o
hundred feet. To do this, part OF
a storehouso will have to be RACED,
as there is not room for the ex'
tension on the landslide. After
the building is razed, and the
ways heightened, they will be un'
dermined, so that the railroad OF
the navy yard can pass beneath
them.
Another interesting feature OF
the building of the new battleshir
is the fact that u monster cantllev-
er crane will be erected, so the
steel and other material will be
hauled to the workers nearly twice
Ms fast as they were while the
Vestal was being built. Ihe
crane is now in the course OF con
struction, and will he ready soon
after the Florida is started.

snatch any laurels from the god
dess of Fame which may not be-
long by right to fair Punta Gorda;
but, If she has been more favored
than many other spots in sunny
Florida, they are the gifts of an
sll-wise Judge, and we are en-
titled to that which He has seen
fit to bestow upon us, and graft
tude only and not pride fills our
hearts when we pause to consider
His benefcence.
Let us hope that our fraternal
brethren may attune their hearts
to sing the praises of His works,
as we should do il these benehcen-
ces fell to their lot instead of ours;
for, although it may be only hui
man to feel the qualms of jealousy
over what may appear as favorlt'
ism, let those same good people
visit our city and soon will they
be convinced of our special fitness
for such Heavenly favors rs have
fallen TO our lot. Without doubt
there are those who jeer at our
pretensions to fame, but the meek
and lowly at heart are those most
fit to wear the crown, SO it is said,
and we defy anyone to accuse us
of presumptuous Boosting or os-
tentation.
In the matter of attractions, not
least of those that we do not boast
of, is a spring of magical mineral
waters that restores the hirsute
covering to the unfortunates who
have been compelled to part with
their GROWING glory, and which
gives to the luxuriant tresses Of
happy maids an additional lustre
to enhance their charms.
This spring of water is located a
short distance from our town and
was discovered by a Northerner
who was seeking health in our
piny environs. He had pitched
his tent beside this convenient sup
ply of pure drinking water and, in
taking his daily additions, he no.
ticed that his shiny pate was taxi
ing on an unaccustomed fuzz that
brought great 10y to his heart and
peace to his soul.
He had been patron for many
years of various well.known nos.
trums for restoring lost hair, but
hope always withered after sew
eral anxious months of expert
ment. Now, however, when all
stars had set and he had reconcil-
ed himself to his inevitable fate,
Nature was rendering him the gift
of all gifts that he most desired.
For three months he kept away
from the haunts of men TO nurse
his great secret and watch its de-
velopment. Never were there
such days of joyous anticipation,
expectation, and realization as
those he spent in the solitudes of
the piny forest waiting for the
consummation of his great wish ;and
on the day that he returned to civ
ilization, it was his unique privi-
lege to walk among his fellows as
stranger, unknown to one and
all alike of his friends and &C.

Bad Lands Are Good

A company has been formed to oper-
ate at Interior, on the Milwaukee line
in southern Stanley county, for the
purpose of the manufacture of
cement from the product of the Bad
Lands, which have been pronounced
the best of material for that purpose
on tests made in the east. If the
materials of which the .lBad Lands
are composed prove to be the class of
cement material which Is being claim
ed for them, that presumably worth
less portion Of the state promises in
the future to be one of the busy
sections, and one of material wealth
for the state.

A Milwaukee railroad detective
visited Kadoka to investigate the
systematic stealing which has been
in progress there for some months.
The company have been heavy
losers, considerable property having
been taken from its supply yards.
1t is stated that at one time enough
material for five depots were unload
ed at that point and some time later
when the construction crews came
along hardly enough to build one
depot remained. Several offenders
were picked up and settled for the
material they had taken. There
were thirteen who settled and 1t is
said there are still more to hear

STRIKE IN WEST INDIES

From Kingston, Jamaica, comes the
news of the first strike that has ever

This in itself is interesting, but the
cause of the strike is rome the less so.
AS is the custom in most cigar fac

factory have always enjoyed the privi-

selves. The proprietor of the fe Glory
labrOgated this privilege. whereupOn

this country are permitted TO drink ad

ton would undoubtedly lessen greatly
