A Slick Capture.

According to the following dispatch

has gone after:
An, exciting chase after a gang of

the capture of Fank Walsh, Jesse Coates
and Ollie Tennille, and the recovery of

The men and horses were met on the
trail by G. q. Winter Of ,Elko county,

THE FLAG MUST BE PROTECTED
Yours truly
L. s. LIGHT

The Minnesota legislature is about
to pass a bill to protect the national
colors.' The measure makes it a mis-
demeanOr for a chorus girl to wear
red, white and blue tights, and a VIC
latiOn of the law imposes a fine of
$500.
A special from Minneapolis says:
But what particularly gets the
girls is a certain indefiniteness in the
bill by which il is not made clear
whether poor girl may come on for
one act with one red leg and one
white leg and then reappear for the
next act with a couple of blue legs.
Also there is uncertainty as to
whether three girls in row, one with
red, one with white and one with blue
legs constitute a violation.
Furthermore, can the spotlight
with successive red, white and blue
fleshes send a whole platoon of girls
to the penitentiary?
THE choirsters are thinking of
sending a lobby to the state house to
obtain definitions. The BARRIERS are
also uneasy, wondering how the bin
will affect the immemorial color
scheme of their poles"

coMETH THE MERRY SPRING
TIME

There was wild and uncomfortable
palpitation in the hearts of thousands
of New York women last Friday. The
biggest passenger steamer that sails
the deep blue sea" had dropped an
Choir at the Cunard pier and unloaded
% American milliners who had gone
abroad TO find out what the proper
fashions in spring hats would be
There are, of course, many more than
% milliners who go abroad to get
fashions for the fair sex, but because
the Lusitania is the roomiest boat
afloat it was conceded that more per
feet dreams" of hats could be loaded
upon her. Hence the excitement over
the landing of this particular vessel
Little questions of international di
plomacy or the reorganization of con
gress take a seat way back in the
rear when it comes to the first Ieve
lation of styles in women's spring
bonnets. 1t was this revelation that
the landing of the Lusitania prophe-
sled, and it was for this that the wo
mankind of New York, Hoboken and
Geehawkin, n. j., went into mental
and sartorial spasms. In order that
some echo of this riot of interest that
foamed and surged around the pier
of the Lusftania may penetrate to
Pennsylvania, we risk a description
of the gem" of this new importation
of female headgear.

To the masculine observer the hat

MR.. LIGHT TELLS OF THE PRO-
POSED NEW COUNTY
Reddick, Fla, March 9, 1909.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Some time ago the Ocala papers
contained a piece telling of a propos-
ed new county to be cut out of Marion
and Levy counties. Last week / re-
ceived a card with map and announce
ment, and recently a letter from a
nearby representative asking my
views on the proposed new county.
l have written the representative
telling him why I was opposed to the
new county about as follows:
Marion county's commissioners
have instructed us to work and vote
against the proposed new county.
1 believe 80 per cent. of Marion
county's tax payers are against it.
The card 1 received with map on
one side and announcement on the
other l believe is not correct and is
misleading.
The announcement claims that the
proposed new county would take but
$3.50 people from both Marion and
Levy counties. The United Census
report of 1900 says there are approx
imately 5000 people in Marion's side
and $500 people in Levy's side of the
proposed new county.
The announcement claims that the
proposed new county would have as
sessed valuation of $1,570,000. We be-
lieve this is wrong, and that $1,000.
900 would be more than its true val
ne, as that part of Marion and Levy
is of less value than the average
Marion county property.
1t would take from Marion nearly
one-eighth of its people, nearly one
eighth of its valuation and one-eighth
Of it's territory.
1t would take from Levy county
about one-third of its area, about 40
per cent. of its people and about one
third of its valuation. To take $500
people from Levy's 1902 would Grip
pie Levy badly.
One part of the proposed new coun-
ty is within miles of Levy county S
court house, and one part within II
miles of Marion county's court house.
The proposed county seat of the
new county would be Williston, with
in miles of it's northern boundary
and would be about 40 miles from its
extreme southwest corner.
The proposed new county taken
from Marion would commence at the
northwest corner of Marion county,
running east to within miles of Or
ange Lake, thence south to within
4 miles of Martin, thence west just
enough to leave Blitchton postoffice
in Marion county, thence south to
point near the A. c. L., close to Levy,
thence west and south to the Withla-
coochee river, miles west of Dun
mellon, taking in all of Geiger, all of
Pennington, most of Fairfield, half
of Blitchton, part of Cotton Plant
and all of Romeo.
There is a probability of trying to
have the new county made by next
legislature, and the interested parties
are doing their very best to help their
cause before the legislature meets.
| think it would be wise for the
county officials and Ocala board of
trade to get up a strong set of reso-
buttons protesting against Marion los
ing part of her county and mail each
of the senators and representatives a
copy before the legislature meets.

Change the Political Lines

OAKLAND. Dec. 6.-Alameda coun-
tv may have a congressman of its
own after the next census is taken in
April. This possibility was limited at
by James NJ. Burke. federal census SUI
pervisor for the third California dis
trict, in a consultation with Secretary
Edwin Stearns of>the chamber of COM
merce this morning
Burke prophesies that the new cen-
sus will show the population OF Ala
media county to be greater than 100000.
and as the federal law provides that a
state is entitled to have a representa-
tive in congress for every 194.500 Oe
population it would appear that the
county might form a single congress
sionaI district.
At present Congressman knowland
represents Alameda. Contra Costa and

change were made he would represent

TAILOR TO BE ADDED
TO TRAIN LUXURIES
Will Press and Mend While the
Passengers Sleep

A tailor that sews while you sleep
is the latest luxury arranged for the
California tourist The traveller has
come to accept his so mile an hour
shave, shine and bath as a matter of
course. Henceforth he may awaken in
the morning to find his clothes newly
pressed and the missing buttons re-
placed. The tailor will make his debut
on the Golden State limited, which runs
between San Francisco and Chicago, by
way of Ell Paso and Kansas City. He
will have a fully equipped shop and
may even make up dress suit or
tuxedo on a rush order between sta
tions.
The innovation is scheduled for the
next few days, and If successful tailor
ing establishments will be installed on
all first class Southern Pacific trains.
Whether an extra charge will be
made for the pressing of garments has
not yet been decided by the passenger
department of the road. The tailoring
is to be done by the porter after the
passengers have gone to their berths,
and unless special work is required only
the pressing of the garments will be
done.
