500 PRIZE FOR
BEST S|DEW WALK
Nelson Bros. Make Offer to
Stimulate Sidewalk
Building.

Considerable life, enthusiasm, and
rivalry is likely to be injected into
the building of cement sidewalks in
the city for the present year by the
offer of prize which the Nelson Bros
Paving and Construction Go. is max
ing for the best piece of work done
up to April 1, 1909.
John A. Nelson, who represents the
Pensacola branch, has made the fol-
lowing proposition:
The Offer.
For the best piece of cement side
walk constructed no matter what
man Or company constructs it, the
Nelson Bros. Paving and Construction
Co. viii give to the owner a prize of
10000. For judges, the contestants
may select one from the city coun-
Gil, one from the board of public
works. one from the board of bond
trustees, one from the country COM
missiOners and one from the Char
Der of Commerce. making a to- -
five judges If this is not satisfactory
then the contestants may select any
five judges that may be satisfactory
to them. All we desire is that the
judges shall be representative men.
1T should be remembered said
Mr.. eNelsOn, that this prize is not
to be given to the man or company
building the cement walk, but to ~
owner of the walk. This will o~~~----
age property owners to build walks
and good ones. and that is our object
in offering the prize"
This offer will no doubt elicit a
general interest in cement sidewalk
building and 1t is to be hoped that
a large number of property owners
will contest for it. Pensacola needs
good sidewalks and here is really
chance for some one to get a cement
sidewalk for nothing.
Mr.. Nelson recently completed what
is probably the finest piece of cement
sidewalk work in the city-that
around the new city hall This itself.
among those who have seen it, has
stimulated a great deal of interest.
instaiInent Plan Walks.
Nelson Bros. are now engaged in
building sidewalks in various parts of
the city, and they construct them
either for cash or on the instaIlment
plan, They will build you a walk for
cash payment of not more than 20
per cent and Will let you pay the bal
ance in installments. This is an easy
way to get a walk and as nearly
everyone wants more or less of this
work done. now is the time TO do it.
They build either the solid cement
walk or the tile walk and all work
is guaranteed.

SHUT DOWN FOR THE DAY.
Santa Fe Shops Silent Both Forenoon
and Afternoon.

With the exception of the round
house. every department in the Santa
Fe shops is closed today. The round
house is one of the few departments
which are indispensable in the operation
of railway system. The big whistle
at the shops was sounded at the usual
hours this morning but before leaving
last night the employees were informed
that the shops would not be open today
In the different shops were posted no.
tices regarding the closing and the men
instructed not to appear. The shops
are open but a half day on Saturday
and owing to the lack of work which is
making it difficult for the Santa F'e to
keep all their men employed, Superin-
tendent John Purcell decided that 1t
would be better to shut down the shops
entirely for the half day.
About ten days ago 235 men in the
various shops were laid off. These men
were ordered to return to work Feb
vuary % and all went at work yester-
day. Last night another force of $50
men were laid off until March 9. BY
laying the men off in shifts in this
manner all the men can be kept on
the payroll and when the spring work
starts with the increase of traffic. there
will be enough men to care for the
work.

NEVER ENDING LAWSUIT.
Rohrbaugh Will Case Reaches United
States Circuit Court.

The fight over the estate left by the
late Samuel B. Rohrbaugh, one Of the
Wealthiest residents of Ottawa, Kan,
has now reached the United States cir
cult court.
Rohrbaugh died in April, 1907, leaving
property valued upwards of several
hundred thousand dollars, the bulk of
which was bequeathed to the Bethany
hospital company Of Ottawa. Subse-
quent to the making of this will how
ever a deed was made by him convey
ing two lots occupied by one Of the
most costly business buildings in Otta-
wa to Mrs. Nellie K. Hubbard Phillippi,
a niece. of the Republic of Mexico. Suit
was brought by the hospital company
in the state court asking that this deed
be set aside, alleging that Rohrbaugh
was Of unsound mind when the deed
was made. A jury trial resulted in the
favor of the niece. Now George w.
Rohrbaugh, Barbara B. Lightner, Will
son H. Rohrbaugh, George w. Stan
baugh and Lucy Mengers who reside in
Pennsylvania seek to revive the allega-
ton contained in the suit filed in the
state court though seeking to control
the property themselves, the hospital
company not being a party to the COM
plant.
The compliments, with the exception
Of Mrs. Iightner who is a sister, are
nieces and nephews of Rohrbaugh.

TO STUDY FARMING.
Prince Victor Naryan OF India Arrives
in New York

New York, Feb. 2s.-coming to
America in order to study the theory
of agriculture as taught in the col
leges of this country Prince Victor
Naryan arrived in New York on the
liner Mauretania. The prince is the
youngest son of the Maharajah of
Cooch-Be-Bar, one of the indepen-
dent states of Northern Bengal, In
dia. The state is a large and prosper
Gus one and the Maharajah is one OF
the most progressive of the native
rulers in India.
Prince Victor spent two years al
school at Elton in England, and then
returned to his home. He then de-
cided that he could be of more use to
his people If he was familiar with
theoretic and practical agriculture
particularly as applied to the cultiva-
ton of tobacco which is the principal
product of his fathers country. He
will at once go to Ithaca and take an
agricultural course at Cornell univer-
sity, supplementing it with actual ex-
perience in the tobacco growing dis
tricts of the south after his gradua-
ton. He is accompanied by his sec
rotary and friend. B. ]. DeMajumdar
