Change in the King Management.

Recently change took place in the operating management of the King of Arizona mine. Horace PomerOy re- signed as superintendent and has gone to the Black Hills mine at Magdalena, Mexico. The new uperintendent is M. NJ. Mendenhall, who took charge about August 10th. Ed Inglis is now in charge of the mill. Dr. Frazer, the camp physician, has resigned and gone to New Mexico. Who the new physic- ian is we have not learned.

AnuOErceme

Candidates are rather shy this year about announcing their desires and as- rirations to the public through the press. Of course q good many of them are not backward in talking about it among their friends, but that method does not bring them prominently into the lime-light like an official announce ment would do. Aduertising pays, and these aspirants are warned that the "early bird catches the wOrm," the Hong pole knocks the persmmCn," I" also that the parsimonious candidate is liable to draw lemon.

It is 8 day for the business men and merchants to take advantage of. Every body should boost for the Show.

Sunday Races az the Dam.

There will be another trial of speed between the bay and the black horses at Lagune dam next Sunday. The race between the same horses last Sunday. which drew g crowd of over 200 people from Yuma and surrounding country, was won by the bay. For some reason there was much dissatisfaction over the result, and another race is on. A great deal of money will probably be wagered and an exciting time is promised.

Sudden Death of Billie o'Brien.

Billy O'Brien, we'll known bar tender, died at Clymer's hospital yester- day afternoon about o'clock while un- der the influence of chloroform. which had been administered to render pain- less surgical operation upon one of his hands.
 Dr. Clymer. aided by Dr. Byrnes, worked several hours in an attempt to revive the patient, but were unsuccess- | ful.
 Several weeks ago MT. O'Bren had his thumb caught in an electric fan and a large portion of the first joint WAS torn away. The lacerated member, apparently healed, but recently be- came inaamed and caused him much pain. He finally decided to go to the hospital and have it operated On, am- putated if necessary. O'Brien was not in condition to safely take choloform, but it seems that his habits and con- ditiOn for several weeks were unknown to the doctor, who consented to under l take the operation, through the in- sistence of O'Brien that it be performed at once.
 Billy O'Brien came here last December from Fl Paso and was first employed for several months by Chas. Gilroy. but has since worked in the Cabinet, and his last shift was at the Stag. He was great favorite with all who knew him.
 He served as interpreter on the staff of Gen. Otis in the Philippines and could talk Spanish 6ueutly. Some of O'I}rien's friends believe that he has been under the strain of some mental trouble for several weeks, and that Ire contemplated death, or at least feared serious happening of some nature. The following letter which wasleft with the manager of the Modesti rooming house would seem t0 bear ou; this theory. The letter was sealed and on the envelope was written:
 '''fU be opened in case of accident or serious sickness"
 Billy O'Brien.
 The contents were:
 "Please notify all at once in case of serions sickness or death, Mrs. May O'Brien, Box POD, Alamogordo, N. M., Mrs. Bell Reynolds, ,2361 Oakland street, Fl Paso. Texas; Ike Coke, Pntholes, engineer at dam; also Owl Lodge No. 1, Fl Paso." Billy O'Brien.
 Ike Coke is half-broEher of the de- ceased, and he and the other parties were at once notified.

from the Chinese legation at

"In answer TO your letter re-

To Cure Snake Bite.

A recent issue of Forest and
Stream, had a communication from
De Witt Webb, president of the
St. Augustine Institute of Science
and Historical Society, detailing
the simple means by which the In
dian cures u snake bite. He says;
81 was told while in these noun
tains (of North Carolina) Of the
Cherokee Indians cure for the bite
of u rattlesnake which is at once
so common sense and scientific as
to merit a widespread acceptance.
It's common sense lies in the fact
that the victim has or ought to
have the necessary implement al
ways at hand, there need not be an
instant's delay, and that it is the
scientific plan goes without saying
because it carries away the poison
at once. The Indian at once Bit
ten drawing his knife, pincbed up
the part bitten and cut it out, then
seeking the nearest stream-not
often very far away-plnnged the
leg in the running water and kept
it there until all the bleeding had
ceased and as my informant--an
old man told me, seldom suffered
any i'll effects. Usually, as we
know, no physician can be reached
Or reliable remedy had until the
case is too far gone for any effort
to avail, but with a knife, and if
not running stream, water

stand strict scrutiny. AT that
time the location of many places
in the United States was only
guessed at. Fort Yuma for in
stance, is located, in Arizona in
stead of California. The State OF
Montana is missing; it is included
in Idaho. None of the great
transcontinental railroads had been
built at that time. Instead there
were "Overland Pony Express
Trail, ""Santa Fe Trail, ''and so on.
The town of Napoleon, Ark,
which was swept off the map many
years ago by the Mississippi river
is still there. SO also the town
of ST. Joseph, Fla, which was
wiped away by yellow fever and
is now hardly remembered by ev-
en- old people. Florida had at
that time only two railroads with
the exception of two very short
lines in West Florida. From
Baldwin south no town is marked
except Whitesville, which is To-
Gated very near whereStarke should
be. Several prominent towns of
the State are missing, while many
others which only exist in the
memory, are marked, Only thir-
ty.two counties for Florida is
what a map of that day affords. -

The Peanut.

Tampa Times: --American con-
sular authorities in France are
noting the increased demand for
peanut oil, and are inviting the
attention of Southern farmers to
the advisabikty of experimenting
with view to meeting the de-
mand. The American nut is a
superior edible to the African
the balance of the worlds supply
coming from that continent-but
it is inferior in the amount of oil
it will yield. 1t is also more diff
cult to crush. 1t is advised that
southern planters secure seeds and
make scientific experiments in the
production of a nut possessing a
higher oil-bearing grade.
1t is incidentally noted that the
American supply of the nut is not
quite equal to the home demand
though for oil purposes it is used
but little. 1t is doubtful whether
the oil-bearing nut can be success
fully produced in this country in
rivalry with Africa when the
widely different chracter and cost
Of labor is considered. But there
is fact which may be mentioned
the farmer DESTROYS of diversity
ing his crop in the southern states
may proftably cultivate the pea
nut if his soil and location are
favorable.

The following from the Live
Oak Democrat fits the case in al
most every town: Some way
should be devised to put a stop to
little boys congregating on the
streets and public places and
smoking cigarettes, swearing and
doing many other things that they
would not dare do at home. They
smoke and curse before ladies as
we'll as men, and woe be unto him
who should reprove one of them.
Many Of these boys are sons OF
parents who would take it as an
insult should they be informed
that they were guilty of such. Ii
parents will not or cannot teach
their boys to behave in public any
better, the city authorities should
take them in hand and teach them
that they cannot make OF them
selves public nuisance.

Lakeland News:--THE PUNTA
GoRDA HERALD and the Starke
Telegraph deserve the thanks Of
the press of Florida for their able
and convincing articles in refuta-
ton of charges of corruption and
venality among the newspapers OF
Florida. These charges, made by
a few newspapers against all who
may differ with them in opinion,
go far to destroy the influence for
good that practically every paper
in the State seeks to exercise.
Every reputable newspaper owes it
to the credit of the profession II
represents to hold mp to publicity
such editorial insists as may be
guilty of unworthy acts; but there
should be reasonable grounds for
attack, and they should be specific
ally stated. Sweeping, general
charges, in which it is sought to
cast suspicion of graft or dishon-
esty upon large portion of the
press, are unwarranted and unjnst,
and N the result in most instances
of ehe accuser measuring his
corn in his own bushel.

EARLY DAYS IN FLORIDA.
Relics Possessed by Bradford
County Men.

The following, which will be Of
general interest, appeared in re
cent issue of the Starke Telegraph;
"Mr. Il. w. Driggers brought
to the Telegraph Office a reminder
of the long ago in the way of a S3
bill issued by the State Bank of
Florida during the early SOS.
The bill had been poorly printed
on poor paper, and shows signs
of much wear, so much, indeed,
that the greater part of the print
and signature of the bank officials
cannot be read. But the heaviest
lines are still legible, and give the
information that 1.-THE Bank of
Florida will pay the bearer on de.
mand, on January LIST, 1864, three
dollars" 1t has a vignette in
each corner, but what they repre-
sent or the wording of the device
)annot be deciphered, except a
figure 3 in the upper right hand
corner. The older readers know
to their sorrow that the bank did
not keep its promise of redemp-
ton on the day named, 1t was
not incorporated, and the losses in
the war compelled the stockholders
to repudiate the banks debts.
RARE MONEY.
"Col. w. T. Weeks has in his
possession a 81 bill issued by the
Tallahassee Railroad Company.
This company owned d twenty
mile railroad from Tallahassee to
st. Marks-one of the earliest in
the country, by the way this bill
was good for dollars worth of
transportation or for other debts
to the company. 1t is well print
ed, everything being legible ex-
cept the names of the president
and secretrry and the year of its
issue, which was while the war was
going on. The center piece rep
resents a settler and his family
waving their hands at train
drawn by an Anticipated engine
with al enormously high smoke
stack. From the nature of the
bill, it is obvious that it circulated
only around Tallahassee,
These old relics from bygone
times awaken in the memory of
the old citizens scenes of the long
ago. When they we're useful, the
country was in turmoil such as it
is hoped will never be its fate
again.
