come convinced that it is, or could be
made, the banner county os the stare.
and ever since he took charge Of tie,
True Democrat, his slogan has bean

present entered into the prompted
discussions with a willingness and an
earnestness that showed how heartily
the organization is now being sup

Secretary Henry Horsler read in
the usual routine of business a reply
TO an urgent request to Presidents
Grove, of the Philadelphia and Gulf
steamship Company, to become the
associations guest in this city. The
reply was as follows: Thanks for
letter. Cannot take up the matter
now" The association, with COM
mendable forethought, upon learning
of the inauguration of the new SER
vice, sought to get the president or
mis- general manager to come here,
with an ultimate view of inducing the
company to make Pensacola one OF
the stopping places for the several
vessels of the line. The idea will be
further pressed by the association.

T. n Lannon spoke with enthus-
iasm on the question of the tri-county
fair, which is now almost a certainty.
Mr.. Lannon urged all to boost this
project, for, with others, he consid-
cred 1t one of the best of attractions
for the month Of October this follow
ing the usually dull season. The
chairman of the fair committee was
not present, hence no regular repoTt
could be made.
B. NJ. Solomon brought up tho
matter Of obtaining a trustworthy
and necessarily correct freight classi-
f1cation rate. He, with other mer-
chants present took occasion to re-
late experiences with the lone rail
transportation line here, and this dis.
cussion was exceedingly interesting.
1t was discussed from a retail meF-
chants standpoint, however, and Il ;
resolved itself into a determination to
cooperate with the wholesale men
in an effort to get fair and more
equable treatment, and thus put an
end to apparent discrimination. It Is
possible that the railroad commission
will be finally appealed to for desired
tariff The railroad
company will first be asked to fur
nish what the association desires.
The early Friday closing question
was brought up, but few were present
and it was not discussed at length.
The association has put itself on rec

ing been done at a previous meeting.

ident Meyer, the chair entertained a
motion to adjourn. Mr.. Meyer urged

ORPHAN GIRLS TRAGIC DEATH
Kills Herself With Shotgun, Because she Fear

Shreveport, La, Aug. 9.-News
has just reached here Of the suicide
Of Matte Wimberly, a fourteen-year-
old orphan girl, who was living with
the family of her uncle, j. NJ. Ram
bin, at Bayou La Chute, in the lower
part Of the parish. It seems that
the girl quarreled with she six-year-
old girl Of Rambin and Mrs. Rambin
took the younger child's part and re-
preached Matte for her behavior.
The matter was reported to Mr.. Ram
bin and there was some talk Of punish
ing the Wimberly child.
The matter was dropped for the
time and the girl went into an adjoin-
ing room, where she secured a shot
gun. Placing the muzzle against her
breast she pushed the trigger with a
piece Of stovewood, the entire load
of shot taking effect, tearing a gap
ing wound over the heart. When
Mrs. Rambin rushed into the room
the little girl was still standing, but
gradually sank to the floor, finally
resting in sitting posture. She died
before her uncle could reach The
room.

new DRINK In KANSAS.
People of that Country HaVe Found 1 way to
IFrigate Dr. Threats.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 10.-The latest
drink in Kansas is the Jackson cock
tail. II is a drink intended to avoid
trouble with the Kansas p~rohibitory
law and Fred Jackson. Attorney
General, for whom it is named. It
can be purchased anywhere in Kansas
and at any time, and the chap that
sells II is never in danger Of prosecu-
ton, and the fellow that buys il will
never be brought into court as a wit
ness.
The drink is made Of three parts Of
ordinary apple cider and one part
Jamaica ginger, really . palatable
concoction. Cider is always good,
and ginger, being chiefly alcohol,
gives the mixture zest and favor that
old topers say are about the finest
ever. Besides, the drink gets real
action right away. Two good drinks
will make a man real funny and cute.
Three will cause him to rob his own
trunk, and five are calculated to make
him prefer a bed of shucks in a cor
ner Of a vacant lot to a doWny couch
at his home.
The Acknowledgement and the State
Board Of Health are hearing numerous
reports Of the jackson cocktails eff
fectiYeness, both as a substitute for
red liquor and as a jag producer.
The Encouragement and board off
Gals are anxiously looking for some
way to stop the consumption Of the
cocktail, but thus far the use Of the
drink cannot be stopped by any Law
eff Kansas.
