HEAT Trims RANKS
OF G. A. R. PARADE
Children Assigned to Living
Flag Suffer From Tempera-
ture in Salt Lake

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 1.-THE
glare of the midsummer sun, falling
with impartial severity upon young and
old, thinned the annual parade of the
Grand Army of the Republic, the feat
ure of the forty-third encampment. and
wrought still more suffering among the
hundreds of children who participated
In the formation of the living flag. ar
ranged for the edification of the old
soldiers.
Incomplete figures show that at least
100 children were taken from the street
and from l5 to 20 old soldiers were car
ried away in ambulances. There were
no fatalities.
STORM LOWERS TEMPERATURES
The hours of the parade were the
hottest hours of the hottest day since
the beginning of the encampment. At
IL o'clock, when the column got under
way, the weather bureau thermometer
registered temperature of So degrees.
The mercury rose until noon, when it
touched 81. Ten minutes past 1, when
the procession was disbanding, after
passing in review before the COM
mander in chief and his staff, the sky
clouded over, the roll of thunder was
heard in the mountains and the Their
mometer dropped to IS degrees. This
low temperature continued for full two
hours.
FIVE THOUSAND IN LINE
Notwithstanding the discomfort, the
parade was a grand success. The 5000
and more old soldiers, walking four
abreast, had the complete right of
way over mile of street 100 feet in
width.
Fully 100000 persons saw, or tried to
see. the spectacle. And whether they
saw or not they cheered and waved and
cheered again.
1t was far cry from the thickets
of the Wilderness TO the valley of the
Great Salt Lake, from the walls of
Vicksburg to the shadow of the Nor
mon temple, from the guns of Peters
burg to the statue or Brigham Young,
from which the column started. And
they came, not with the accouter-
ments Of war but with the insignia of
peace and industry. The Nebraska del
egation carried ears of yellow corn.
The sunfiower was the badge of the
Kansans. The Minnesotans were bear
ers of sheaves of wheat and the Green
mountain boys of Vermont wore sprigs
of pine in their hat bands.
VETERANS ARE VIGOROUS
1t was in the II companies of the
Fifteenth United States infantry from
Fort Douglas that the veterans saw
themselves mirrored as they were As
years ago.
There were many comments upon the
vigor of the Grand Army veterans as
they appeared on parade. Those who
might justly be called feeble were
much in the minority
Arkansas had the distinction of send
ing the smallest division-there were
but four wearers of her badge. Illi-
nois made the largest numerical show
ing. And, at the rear came a little
band whose banners recalled the dark
est pictures of the great civil war. On
the white backgrounds the watchers
read:

Tyler Belle Isle" and the names of
other confederate prisons. This division
consists of the union ex-prisoners of

MR.. r. L. ANDERSON'S IMPROVE
MENTS

I When old buildings are torn down
and replaced by finer ones, it is an
indication that the town or city in
which such things are done is pros
pering. This is especially true if the
buildings torn down are good, sub
stantial ones.
In New York City this has been the
fate of many buildings, some very his
toTic ones.
This fate recently befell the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, a marble structure,
which had long been the headqrar-
ters Of the republican party. 1t was
demolished to the very ground, and is
superseded by one of the modern sky
sCrapers fo. which New York is ia
NOUS.
This tells the story of growth and
marvellous development.
The same instrumentalities that are
at work in New York are at work in
Ccala, only on a more modest and less
elaborate manner.
When the building known as the
Gary-Agnew block, on the west sid
Of the square was erected the Ocula

admirable one. 1t was built of brick.
covered a frontage of more than
eighty feet, was two stories high and
the front was ornamented with mas
sive iron pillars. 1t was a strong and
substantial structure, and would have
lasted for many years; indeed, the
timbers are as sound today as they
were when the building was first
erected.
But as good as this building is
OCala has outgrown it, and it must
give way for a better one-one more
modern in LIS construction.
The work of demolition began yes
terday and in a little while the west
side of the square will be ornamented
with a building well worthy of Ocalas
growing reputation.
Mr.. w. C. Blanchard has the con
tract for the erection of the new
building. 1t will be several feet tall
er than the old building, and will be
more imposing in every way
When it is completed it will be a
credit to the city, and will be a great
to the west side.
This paper cOngratulates Mr.. An
dersOn on his public spirit.

our brother, William Herbert Powers,
this lodge, as well as the entire COM
munity has sustained a loss which is
telt by ali, not only in the lodge,
where he was loved by every mem
Der, but by every person who knew
him
His professional life was great in
benefcence; he led a home life of
tender devotion; his was a character
which was rare in its gentleness, and
while he is gone he is with us always
Let us cherish it, keep it fresh in our
minds, forgetting not our departed
brother, whose very presence cast
sunshine. hope and love upon all
Let us but remember that death, is
but the gate to life, and find comfort
in the knowledge that so noble, pure
and true a life cannot terminate with
the grave, but will be borne to that
celestial world TO which we all hope
to attain.
To his bereaved family we extend
our sincere sympathy, assuring them
that our grief is only eclipsed by their
own, and that the friendliness we feel
for them will last eternally.
Be it further resolved, That these
copies sent to the family of our de-
parted and to the Ocala papers.

NEGRO RoBBER KILLED
Was Shot by MIR. Nathan Mayo Near
BelleView Thursday Afternoon
coroner's Jury Finds Killing Justi-
fable

( An unknow n negro was shot and in
stantly killed by Mr. Nathan Mayo,
near Belleview, Thursday afternoon,
after having gone through and robbed
the residence of Mr.. Tracy Morrison,
near Symmetrical.
The circumstances that led to the
killing were, as near as can be learn
/ ed, as follows:
The negro appeared at the home of
/ Mr.. Morrison some time during the
forenoon and asked for a drink of wa
ter, which was given him by Mrs.
Morrison. He apparently went his
way after getting the water.
However, when Mr.. and Mrs. Morri-
son returned to their home at noon,
they found that their larder had been
entered and robbed of victuals which
had been prepared for dinner. This
led to further investigation, and it
was found that the intruder had also
taken a gold watch, a razor and what
money he could fad on the premises.
Mrs. Morrison then told her husband
Of having given the negro a drink of
water earlier in the day, and as soon
as she had described him Mr.. Morri-
son went in search of him. He first
went to Levon, then to Summerfield,
and later to Santos, having heard of
him at several places, and in eacl in
stance hearing that he was offering a
handsome gold watch for sale
He at last arrived at Mr.. Mayos
place near Belleview, told him of his
misfortune and asked his assistance
in capturing the robber. Mr.. Mayo
consented TO go with him short dis
lance down the road, where the ne gro
was reported to be taking a shave on
the front porch of an unoccupied
house.
As they neared the house the negro,
who was then sitting in the doorway,
ran into the houes Mr.. Mayo thought
he saw him levaing by rear door,
and went into the house from the
front and started out the rear As he
was about to leave the front room he
heard a noise behind him. and turned
just in time to see the negro advanc- !
ing on him from closet formed by |
two doors He told him to stop and |
hold up his hands, but instead of |
stopping the negro continued to adj |
vance and was only few feet from
Mr.. Mayo when he drew his revolver |
and fired. the ball entering the ne
grO's right cheek and coming out in |
the back part of his skull.
Mr.. Mayo and Mr.. Morrison at once |
the matter to Judge Hopkins
at BeIIeview, who impanelled a coro-
ner's jury to investigate and went to |
the scene o. the killing. After hear
ing the testimony and the circum- !
which led to the killing. the
jury rendered a verdict of justifable /
homicide.
The negro, when killed, had on him
the property stolen from Mr.. Morri-
sons residence. He was an entire
stranger in the community, no one
there seeming ever to have seen him
before, and his body was taken charge
Of by the authorities.
