FLoRIDAs 7oFooT BAMBOO.

Il lOiH luc ddTucl 0dZcttc.
Possibly the tallest bamboo in America
grows in Arcadia, Fla, and Is about 10
feet high. The clump has a spread of
so feet and the diameter at the ground
is 10 feet. The specimen is only years
old.
This is the common bamboo Of India,
probably brought to south Florida from
the West Indies. In Jamaica 1t has be-
come naturalized and is popularity sup
posed to be Indigenous.
This bamboo makes an astonishing
growth during our rainy season, the
canes often attaining their full height in
six weeks. after which they begin to put
on leaves The canes are from four to
five inches In diameter at their base.
Unfortunately this species cannot stand
low temperatures and the specimen in
Arcadia has frequently been damaged BY
cold.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
A girl stands being red-headed by call
ing 1t some other name.
II there is no giving or taking in mar
riage In the next world, when do the old
maids get their chance?
A woman seems to think it is much
worse to grow old than to start a church
row over somebody who said so about
her.
If man could make a lot of money
going fishing, he'd think 1t was more fun
to be in an office, If he didn't get paid
for 1t.
His mother fools a boy about what a
good time he has at Sunday school, and
he fools himself about what fun 1t is to
smother himself in the coal bin pla yene
hide and seen.

From Hampton's Magazine.
IN OWHERE SO much as in the or
III der of our summer life are we
so little the common sense peo-
pie we suppose ourselves to be- At this
moment there are hundreds of us who,
seemingly well, will before the end of
August be dead and buried simply and
solely because of our ignorance and our
folly-ignorance which ordinary thought
should enlghten and folly which even sor-
rowing friends should find it hard to par
don.
That is a statement which sounds some
what hard, perhaps even cruel, yet an
others statement-the simple statement
OF the simple rules to defeat the Ills of
the summer time-will demonstrate its
perfect truth. Here as the rules:
1.sMake your work as light as possible.
2. Wear only the lightest clothing and
as few garments as the law allows
3. Take cold bath every morning and
tepid one every afternoon.
A. East sparingly, principally fresh veg
etables, stunning all fats and starchy
foods, avoiding the deadly fruit salad and
taking no fruit which has not been either
washed or peNed Immediately before it
is served.
o. Drink no spirituous liquors.
s. Sleep, If it is possible, at midday:
always stay abed eight hours every night
and always sleep under a mosquito net
ting.
z. Make your vacation absolutely diff
ferent from your daily life.
Chief among the Ills from heat that
are less direct, but more frequently fatal,
are diseases of the lower alimentary
canal. Two general causes are, roughly
assignable, cold and basteria- The sudden
or too early DOMINIC of light undercloth-

SQUIRRELS AS GLUTToNs.

From the SCOTSMAN.
1 once came upon several squirrels in a
wood feasting on the fragments left by a
large picnic party. They had gorged
themselves SO much that 1 could easily
have caught them as they Topped up the
trees nearest. They looked as though they
had been finishing the dregs of the beer
bottles. as we'll as eating the cakes and
other things.

But the performers'had to be skilled and
quick If every advantage was to be taken
of the initial start in the direction de-
sired When the canoeist came to the
surface again he was still clinging to the
side of the boat, pulling that side to-
ward him and kicking the other side
toward the place it would assume when
the canoe was once more in its right
position in the water. AS the canoeist
came up he gave the boat twist with
his shoulder that emptied the water from
it, and then he turned it on it's side with
dexterous twfrl that dropped it right
side up, ready for occupancy once more.
1t was very sldlfully done.

In politics Governor Conner has been

casual reader who thinks bit of poll

GrinneII Booster Charged With Irregu

Grinnell, Sept. 27.-The grand jury
for Poweshiek county, at the term OF
court just adjourned returned an in
dictment against G. c. Janney, who

and was released on $4,000 bond,
pending a trial of his case. The action
will appear on the docket for the next
term of court =
The specific charge against Mr. Jan

false pretenses from the Citizens Ma

that Mr. .Janney secured an advance OF
money on this building on the repre-

ship" which the court pointed out,
suggested that all places Of worship
are not church buildings, for instance
a school house in which religious SER
vices are held.
Court Dismisses Gases.
Concluding the opinion read: Our
own tsatute contains a provision re-
curing that it be SO construed as to
which distinction was made between

New York justice above, no doubt APP
ply to its construction, yet it seems
to one that while the word "exclu.
sively" Is not used in our statute,
something of church building char
acter other than the use of one room
in it for the purposes of worship must
be shown before building-and the
statute applies to the entire building
and not a room-can be held to be a
church building.

under the evidence in the case, these

tenure by which they are Occupied

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 25.'-Qowa
Evening Press)-Mr.s Nellie Taylor,
aged %, of Ottumwa, is here in Jail
awaiting trial for the murder of her
infant child which she threw down
vault in Union Park after strang-
ling it with a cord. She came here
with a man who was a friend of her
husband, who was killed while rail-
reading in Missouri some time ago.
She confessed to the detectives that
she thought the child dead when she
put it in the vault, but it lived several
hours and died at Mercy hospital.
She was arrested at Ottumwa and
brought here. Her father is a promi-
nent farmer living near Ottumwa.
Mrs. Taylor developed shocking
symptoms of insanity in the Polk
county Jail yesterday. Attorney ]. M.
Parsons filed a charge of insanity
against her in district court, taking
advantage of that particular section
of the code which in such cases places
jurisdiction with the commissioners
for the insane. Mrs. Taylor did not
recognize her father when he came
to her cell yesterday ard she stood
by the barred iron window Of her cell
and laughed in childish glee at the
figures passing in a parade SHE
thought she saw on Seventh street
There was no parade.
DR., w. Van Warden came to the
Jail yesterday and examined her in
preliminary way. He reports that
she had high fever and showed indi
cations of being mentally unsound.
Mrs. Taylor's father, William Miller
and J. r. Jaques, an attorney from OF
tumwa, arrived yesterday. They will
make an effort to have her commit
ted to the asylum for the insane.

HipSh, New York manager for a Ken

ed with having alienateed Mrs Hipsh's
affections.
Through Delaney Nicoll, his attor-
ney, Mr.. Shonts declared that the
suit is prepOsterous and is due to a
strange case of mistaken identity.
Mr.. NicolrS suggestion that the Hipsh
suit is due to an unusual case of mis-
taken identity led John f.. Harring-
toi., Mr.. Hipsh's lawyer, to make the
following statement:
Il am now examining a number OF
witnesses who are absolutely disinter-
ested. | appreciate fully the import
ance of this matter, and if by any
chance it should be established to
my satisfaction that Mr.. Shonts is the
victim of mistaken identification, the
suit against him will, of course, be
dropped.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hipsh separated on
August and few days later he was
served with summons in a suit for
separation brought by his wife.

MINERS WIN TAX CASE|
Supreme Court Sustains Judge
Wilcockson's Decision.

The Iowa Mine Workers have won
their case, the holding that the funds
Of the organization are exempt from
taxation. The case was taken to the
supreme court by the plaintiff on an
appeal from the decision of the trial
Judge, X. e. Willcockson, in Mahaska
county district court. The decision is
won on technicality and not upon
the merits of the case by hearing be-
fore the supreme court.
Following the decision of Judge
Willcockson, sustaining the conten-
tons of the Mine Workers, THE plain
tiff, which was the tax ferret seeking
to collect back taxes for the treasurer
of Mahaska county, gave notice of APP
peal to the supreme court. The prop
er papers were not filed in required
time and Major Lacey, attorney for
the Mine Workers, made motion to
affirm the decision of the lower court
