ASHER FRANKS BIG SALE

Mr.. Asher Frank, general manager
of the Marion Realty Company, car
ried out his plan of selling lots at
Odd Fellows Heights yesterday after
noon precisely in accordance with the
advertised program. Promptly at the
hour named the brass band was on
TIE streets, and free hacks carried
the visitors to the Heights. Arriving
there, more free lunches were distrib-
uted than the crowds could consume.
There was nothing short" about the
spread either, as it was specially pre-
pared by Mine Host" Maloney, of
the Ocala House.
Odd Fellows Heights overlooks
Ocala by several feet, and is beauti-
fully located, and is shaded by lum-
Der of oak trees. Being high, it gets
the full benefit of the breezes.
The state Odd Fellows will soon
erect a hall upon the property that
is estimated to cost several thousand
dollars, and which will add material
ly to the price Of lots.
Mr.. Frank succeeded in selling for
ty-two lots yesterday, which, as a
starter, he thinks is quite encourag-
ing.
1t is the cheapest real estate prop
osition that has probably ever been
offered in Ocala. The proposition is
only one dollar down and a dollar a
week until the lots are paid for. The
prices range from fifteen to fifty dol
lars.
The scheme will bear the closest

Every good citizen will obey the or
dinances of the city in which he re-
sides as far as he is able. The side
walk ordinance requires the putting
down of cement pavements, and the
compliance with the provisions of this
ordinance will be a direct benefit to
all the property holders and pedes-
trians of our city. We hope the city
council and officers will get a move
on them. The officers ought not to be
so quick to enforce part of the ordi-
nances and let the others become a
dead letter. That brings about a dis.
respect and disobedience of law.

1t is said that the Clyde Steamship
Company intends TO establish a boat
line from Baltimore to Jacksonville
in competition with the Merchant
and Miners line between the two cit
les. This steamship competition in
freight rates, however, only puts the
interior at a disadvantage, because our
railway commission does not rmit
freight competition between railways,
if we are correctly informed. The
cheaper our seaport cities obtain
freights the harder it is for interior
cities to endeavor to do a wholesale
business in competition with them.

MEETING OF THE VETERANS

Notwithstanding the rain of Tues
day morning the usual number attend
ed the meeting of the Confederate
Veterans.
Adjutant T. E. Williams was sick
and was unable to attend and Major
T. D. Lancaster acted for him.
Upon calling the roll the following
members were found to be present:

stated that they had not been official

same was entailing a hardship upon
the others, as the camp was assessed
a per capita tax according to member

ed to headquarters regardless of the
standing of individual members.
Colonel J. NJ. Martin gave a yery
interesting personal memoir of the
war, starting when he first began
raising a company in the fiatwoods.
when he witnessed a pugilistic duel
between two of its citizens, strictly
in line with the Marquis of Queens
berry rules, and ending only with the
last shot that was fred. before the
fatal 9th of April at Appomattox court
house, in 1865.
History is said to repeat itself, and
the charge of the Light Brigade at
Balaclaver did not immortalize itself
more gloriously than did certain mem
bers of his regiment at Cold Harbor,
when it obeyed an order which, to do
so meant certain death, yet the alac-
rity with which the order was obeyed
stands out unparalleled in the annals
Of war.
There was no Sinking, no protest,
no quaking. but every fourth man Of
the regiment went valiantly into the
very jaws of death.

ANNUAL MEETING.
St. Johne Hospital Association Meets
and Will Establish Nurses Home.

For the year past there has been
talk of building a detention hospital,
a place in which those afflicted with
diseases could be placed,
and for this purpose, an organization
was formed known as the St. Johns
Hospital association and officers
elected. For the present the deten-
ton hospital has been abandoned and
instead it is now proposed to estab-
fish a home for nurses and place
where children may be examined as
to their physical condition, at q
minimum cost. The idea of nurses
home is a very good one and no doubt
can be made a success, if not con-
Quoted on too expensive scale. Dr.
d. Sauerhering, and the ladies of
WauSau, were instrumental in found
ing such an institution of this kind
some 10 years ago and it was con-
Quoted for several years, when it was
found difficult to keep it up on ac-
count of the smallness of the city. 1t
is proposed now to rent a house where
nurses can stay when off duty; where
they can secure board and room at
reasonable rates; where nurses may
register, so that they can be found by
those desiring their services, etc. The
association elected the following of
ficers:
PRESIDENT. A. Pradt.
e-President-W. II. Mylrea.
Secretary-W. r. Chellis
Treasurer-E. G. Zimmerman.
Directors-The officers and Rev. w.

YOUNGEST LICENSED HUNTER.

The following is taken from the st.
Louis Globe Democrat and as Mr..
Eggers is well known here, in fact,
was one of the first graduates from
our high school, viz:
-. T.. Eggers, manager OF the Anti
kamnia Chemical company, and a well
known resident of Clayton, Mo-, has a
son, Jack Eggers, whom we think is
the youngest licensed hunter in Mis-
souri,, being only 10 years of age. He
holds license 1862, and shoots a A
calliber double shotgun. The bag for
father and son one day last week was
nineteen quail, two being killed by
Jack on the wing. As the range of
such small weapon is not great, the
youthful nimrod had to shoot awfully
quick to get his birds. He can hit 10
out of Is tin cans and BOTTLES thrown
into the air, and does other stunts
with a small caliber rifle that will
soon make local shooters about Clay
ton look to their laurels. Mr.. Eggers
is very proud to furnish his boy with
all the cartridges he cares to shoot
for practice and has furnished him
with several kinds of small sporting
weapons. st. Louis county has sew

CALLS 1T MANSLAUGHTER.

The corners jury investigating the
cause of Ferdinand Lambrecht's
death, completed its work yesterday.
a verdict was rendered to the effect
That deceased came. to his death
through hemorrages, produced by
violence at the hands of August See
ieldt, and recommended that the
latter be held for trial.
Drs- Jos. Smith and r. w. Jones.
who conducted the autopsy, testified
that every organ of the body was in a
healthy condition. but that there
We're blood clots on the brain and
blood streaks along the spinal column,
produced by violence. Bruises were
also found on the cheek, jaw and
neck.
In addition to the physicians and
those who testified Saturday morning,
Aug. Boettcher, who was in the
saloon at the time Seefeldt struck
Lambrecht, was called to the stand.
His version of the affair, so far as the
number of blows struck was concerned
was different from that of the other
witnesses of the affair.
Mr.. B0ettcher testified that Lam
Drecht started TO walk out of the
place, when Seefeldt peeled off his
two coats and threw down his cap.
Lambrecht, observing this, turned
around, leaned against the bar, with
one of his arms resting on the bar,
the other hanging loosely by his side
Seefeldt advanced and struck him a
heavy blow under the right ear which
felled the man to the ground. He
then struck the fallen man two more
blows, While he was lying helpless on
the floor
Mr.. Seefeldt was this afternoon
bound over for trial in municipal
court, the charge being changed from
murder to manslaughter His bail
was fixed at $500, which he fur
nished.
This will prove an unhappy Christ
mas in the Lambrecht and Seefeldt
families.
