ARRESTED AND HELD.
Greek From Americas, Ca Was or.
dered Held by Police.


Marshal Dell received telegraphic
information Monday evening to arrest
Greek by the name OF Alec Deans,
whom 1t was stated In the message
was wanted for abseonding with
money.
Early in the evening he located the
man wanted and when he placed him
under arrest he was a much surprised
person, but readily accompanied the
officer and occupied quarters in the
city jail
Deans stated that he had done
nothing wrong, for he was engaged
in business with another Greek in that
city, and that he was dissatisfied be-
cause the same was not paying, and
after he had given his partner the
stock of goods and stand he certainly
considered that he had the right to
take the cash sales on last Saturday.
insomuch as his partner had all the
money for the weeks sales.
This story was undoubtedly true,
for on Tuesday another message was
received ordering the release of
Deans. which stated that the reward
money, together with expense incur
red, would be sent at once.

Frank Clark Against Liquor

A lady of Lake Helen sent a re-
quest to Congressman Frank Clark
that he favor the enactment by con-
gress of laws restricting the liquor
traffic, opium, cigarettes, etc. The
following unequivocal reply is the
kind that makes glad the hearts of
his justice loving constituents both
enfranchised and disfranchised.
IL am supporting and shall contin-
ue to support any legislation looking
to the curtailment or crippling of the
business of dealing in intoxicating
liquors. am also supporting and
shall continue to support any legisla-
ton looking to the prohibition of the
shipment of liquors into prohibition
states.
Il shall also oppose the importa-
ton of opium, except under the
strictest regulation. have always
been opposed to the sale of cigarettes
having introduced the bill which was
enacted into law by the Florida legis-
lature, prohibiting such sales"

While a wedding breakfast was in
progress in the village Of NOvery,
in. Savoy, the floor gave way, and
the guests fell through into a COW
house below. The bride dropped on
the neck of a COW, which took fright
and dashed out into the field with
the bride clinging to its horns. The
bridegroom went off in pursuit and
found the bride hanging by her hair
from a branch beneath which the
COW had passed. She was rescued
in a badly bruised condition.

Important Legislative Bills

Senator Dayton, of Dade City, will
introduce bill providing for the re-
districting of the eight judicial cir
cults of the state. In support of this
measure, Senator Dayton, who by
the way, is rapidly becoming one of
the most influential members of the
upper house, finds that the increase
OF population makes a redistricting
absolutely necessary. The great vol
ume of business in some of the larger
counties works a hardship on the Of
ficials. The sixth circuit claims a
population of approximately l5O, 900
people; the first circuit is next with
lOl, 900. The fifth and seventh cir
cults are the smallest, each claiming
about so, 900 population. At the last
general election the proposition of
creating ninth circuit was submit
ted, resulting in its defeat.
Sentor Dayton has another impor-
tant bill to introduce soon. This bill
provides for the giving of authority
to county commissioners to transfer
money from one fund to another,
provided the money is returned with
in years time. This would ma
terially facilitate the work of the
commissioners. For instance, if one
fund is full and another fund is de-
pleted some money from the former
can be transferred to the latter. thus
making it possible to carry out any
improvements underway without de-
lay.

Governor Gilchrist's recommends
ton that the authority to amend
charters of the various cities and
towns of Florida be vested in the
councils of the municipalities has
been most favorably commented up
on by the press of the state. In his
message to the legislature concerning
this subject he said: Much time of
the legislature is usually taken up in
the consideration Of town and city
charters. Such measures affect the
local interests of the various men,
bers of the legislature. They are
usually OF more Importance to them
than general legislation that affects
the entire state. It is recommended
that an act be passed by which these
various charters can be amended by
the councils, the same to be submit
ted to the qualified electors as ref
erendum. This is undoubtedly a bet
ter plan of safeguarding the inter-
ests of the people of the various towns
and cities, than the usual manner of
passing any old bill which may be in
troduced, without giving it any at
tention whatever"

The sweeping victory in the state
of Michigan for the prohibition forces
on Monday, April 5th, demonstrates
the fact that not only is the south go
ing dry, but the north is closely fol-
lowing suit. Twenty counties out of
twenty-seven voted dry, which will
put 56S saloons out of business the
first of May, making a total of thirty
one dry counties in that state. The
seven counties that went wet were
influenced to do so by the argument
that removal of the saloons would
cause higher taxation.
