CAUSE OF ROME'S FATE.
Decay Of the Citizen a Prelude to Its
Downfall.

Not long ago the Esquiline cemetery
was excavated. and there was discov-
cred pit 1000 feet long and 800 feet
deep. 1t was an ancient burial ground
for slaves, who were thrown mao it
along with the carcasses of animals
and the refuse of the city. If it be-
true that methods of human burial in.
dicate the value which is placed ON
human life, these Roman slave pits
are in themselves sufficient to ind
cate the spirit that lay behind Roman
civilization. The collective tyranny
was reproduced in the acts of the sin

OUR FOURTH BOUND TO BE
GREAT SUCCESS

Mr.. VI. Fishel, the ever ready and
willing booster of everything that
tends TO bring people 10 our borders.
was out on his rounds yesterday to
secure the aid of our public spirited
citizens in making the Fourth of July
in Ocala the grandest occasion the
town has ever witnessed.
While some of our people have re-
spOnded very readily there are many
who seem a little backward in loos-
ening up on the proposition.
It is only proper that We celebrate
the day in a fitting manner and the
movement of which Mr.. Fishel is the
head should receive every encourage
ment possible in the efforts to have a
big crowd of visitors in the city to
help us make the occasion a memOra,
bic one.

CURATIVE SERUM FOR BOVINE
TUBERCULOSIS
BOVINE

A special dispatch from Paris TO
the New York Herald announces a
discovery of paramount Importance
the elaboration of a curative serum
for bovine tuberculosis. DR.. Etienne
Cugulliere of Toulouse has devoted
ten years Of close study to the dis
ease. Under his treatment the ami
mails recover. His experiments re-
peatedly have been verified, even by
the slaughter of the cured animal,
when the pOst-mortem findings were
nil. A cure complete and effective
has been the result. DR.. Garrison, in
speaking of the new serum, said: cit
is one of the greatest of useful dis
cOveries.'
KOch's discovery of tuberculin and
Cugulliere's discovery of an anti-bacil-
larry serum complete the scientific cir
Gle. Recognition and cure of bovine
tuberculosis now appear to be an ac-
cOmplished fact. All hail to science
and to her faithful votaries! The ben
efts to humanity will be incalculable.

A FEW MINUTES EXCITEMENT

Quite a little excitement was Great
ed yesterday on South Magnolia
street when Marshal Bull went TO the
Autobiography Drugstore TO collect &
fine which had been imposed upon Mr..
H. c. Groves by Mayor Nash for VIC
alton of the city health laws, by
draining water from his establishment
onto the street. According to Mar
shall Bulls statement Mr.. Groves re-
fused to pay the fine and costs, and
upon being told that he must either
pay or be taken to the city lookup,
said he would do neither. The officer
then attempted to arrest him. and it
was only after a by-stander had as
sisted him in conQuering the beliger-
ent that he consetend to cash up"
Another warrant was served on Mr..
Groves by the marshal some time lat
er, charging him with resisting an Of
ficeT. This case will be heard i'm May

PASSES TWO VERY I'M
PoRTANT ORDINANCES

Besides receiving verbal and writ
ten complaints of assessments on city
property, the council passed two or
dinances at their meeting Tuesday
night that mean a great deal to our
city. All the complaints were re-
ferred TO the judiciary committee, and
the balance Of the evening was taken
up by the passage of the ordinances
/ referred TO.
These are in regard to the dairy
products which our citizens are US
ing. One ordinance creates the Office
of milk and dairy Inspector, whose
duties are Enthusiastically laid out for
him, and when its workings are got
ten into shape our people will be as
sured of dairy products that they
need have no fear of using on account
of any impurities that may be contain
ed therein.
The other ordinance is on the same
line, referring to those doing a dairy
business in the city. Each animal in
the herd must stand a rigid inspection
for tuberculosis or other infectious
disease, and a heavy penalty is pro-
vided for in case of failure to comply
with the law, Bottling houses and
other surroundings at the dairy are
also subject to inspection at interv ais
and must be in clean, wholesome con-
dition if their product is to be sold in
the city.
II is hard to call to mind two ordi-
nances of more importance to the cit
liens of Ocala, and the council as well
as others who have for some time
been working for these measures are
10 be congratulated on the successful
passage.

THE METROPOLITAN BAND

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
For some time past this Organiza-
ton has wanted to make a statement
TO the good people of Ocala, but va
riOus things have prevented their do
ing so until now.
The band was re-Organized under
its present management in December,
1906, taking in a gOOdly number of
new members with very little musical
knowledge. BY hard work, constant
attendance to rebearsals and perse-
verence, the band has worked up to
its present standard of efficiency, and
it is with much pride we make the
statement that there are very few
bands in cities much larger than
Ocala throughout the country that
play the kind and class of music we
are now giving at our weekly con-
certs. With the exception Of the
drums and a few accompaniment in
struments, each member of the band
owns and personally bought and paid
for his own instrument. During the
summer of 1907 we gave concerts ev-
ely two weeks, but this year we have
given one each week, and Judging
from the attendance we feel that the
people of Ocala appreciate what the
band has done and is doing. But
words of commentator and praise is
not all that the band needs. We want
to raise money to purchase uniforms,
buy new instruments and to defray
other expenses, and we now ask the
good people of Ocala to show their
appreciation of our concerts in a sub
stantial way, by contributing to this
fund as literally as possible. The
Dickson Chapter of the Daughters of
the COnfederacy have very generously
headed the list with S25, and the en-
tire band wishes TO thank them hear
tily for their support. Subscription
lisst may be found at the MunrOe &
Chambliss Bank, with Mr.. Gerig, and
at the Ocala News Company, with Mr.
Martin. The members of the band
feel that when they give their time
and talent to the band, they have
done enough, and it is now up to the
citizens to show their appreciation of
the Metropolitan Band.
