FAIR SCANDINAVIAN
GIRLS AID BAZAAR
Singers Vote on Most Popular
Women of Norwegian and
Swedish Parentage

The second night of the bazaar held
in Cotillon hall for the benefit of the
United Scandinavian singers of San
Francisco proved a greater success than
the opening evening and indications
point 10 even better results tonight and
tomorrow night. Masquerade balls will
follow the bazaar features on the two
closing evenings.
The money realized from the bazaar
will be used to pay the expenses of the
singers on their trips to the Alaska
Yukon-Pacife exposition at Seattle
this summer. The two Swedish socie-
ties will appear at the exposition for
one week beginning July 81. which
is Swedish day at the fair. All the Swed-
ish singing societies of the Pacific coast
will join forces at that time. The Nor
wegian singing societies of the coast
will do likewise during the week be-
ginning August 81, which is Norwegian
day at the fair.
In return for the trip to Seattle the
local Scandinavian singers expect to Sc
cure the next singing convention of the
Pacific coast societies.
To 80 of the fairest Scandinavian
girls in San Francisco in their ma
tional costumes belongs much of the
credit for the bazaar's success.
Last nights program included an
address by Alex OIsson, who told of
the many benefits accruing to both
Scandinavians and their adopted coun-
try from the unity expressed in Scan
dinavian societies. The remainder of
the program follows:

had charge of the evening service,
and rendered a most interesting and
instructive program.
Mr.. L. F. Ballard made a splendid

who talked most interestingly and
feelingly of the prohibition amendment
bill that was carried by the legislature
last week Mrs. Hood was at the cap
ital when the bill was passed, and as
she is a ready speaker and does not
l8cll for words, her remarks were lis
tened to with a great deal of pleas

YOUNG MAN INJURED AT THE A.
c. L. FREIGHT YARDS

At six thirty o'clack Tuesday morn
ing a young white man, a fiagmaI on
the A. c. L. freight train, was very Sc
riously injured, and very narrowly es-
capped being crushed to death. The
young man, whose name is George
HERS, and whose home is at Levy
vile, was uncoupling cars in the yard.
He was on the cabOOse. and just as
the train passed beyond the freight
depot, going south, the young man I'M
coupled the car, as several cars were
to be left in the yard. He attempted
to jump from the caboOse to a fiat car
ahead, but sized the distance too short
and fell between the cars, the truck
passing over his body. A nubmer saw
the young man fall, and the brakes
were put on at once. and several train
men ran to his assistance but he was
dragged several feet before he was
rescued, and how he escaped Deing
killed or fatally wounded is certainly a
miracle. His arm was broken, his
shoulders, head and side badly hurt,
and in fact he was severely bruised
all over the body. but il is not thought
that he received any internal hurt
Medical assistance was hastily sum-
moned and as soon as possible the un
fortunate young fellow was carried to
the Marion county hospital, where he
is receiving every care and attention

SPEED LIMIT BEING VIOLATED

Marshal w. c. Bull. after several
complaints. notifies the drivers Of au-
tomobiles and motorcycles in an ad-
vertisement in today's paper that he
will in future rigidly enforce the speed
ordinance.
Some of our motor enthusiasts have
been abusing the leniency of the Off
GERS by driving their cars through the
streets at a rate considerably higher
than that authorized by law. and the
wonder is that accidents of a serious
nature have not resulted ere this in
consequence.
As the safety of pedestrians and US
ers Of other vehicles as well as drtv-
ers of the cars is in jeopardy by fast
driving. it is to be hoped that Mr.
Bulls warning win be needed.

THE NEW MASONIC BUILDING

Ocala's new Masonic building is
now also a sure thing. Mr.. George
MacKay, who is a member of the
building committee, has been IN Jack
sonville during the past week on bus
mess connected with the proposed
new building, and the Masons are rap
idly getting affairs in shape for their
new temple.
In connection with the temple the
Masons propose to build an opera
house that will be a credit to our
lovely and growing little city.
,Ocala is certainly very badly in
need of an opera house and every
body is delighted that the MasOns
will in all probability take up this
work.
The plans have not yet been accept
ed, but we have been informed that
the stage for the opera house will be
built large enough to utilize it for a
lodge room.
We certainly hope that by next win
ter Ocala's opera house will no long
er be a beautiful mirage but will be
here in reality.

Some time between twelve and two
O'Clock, last Saturday morning,
Mr.. Walter Yonge, who was driv-
ing his Maxwell automobile, coll
lided with Mr.. Alexander Moorhead,
who was driving into his home on Or
ange avenue, about a mile and a half
south of town. Mr.. Yonge, Mr.. Pratt
Morris and other friends went for a
long ride after the minstrel show, and
when coming home they ran into Mr..
Moorheads team. 1t was too dark for
them to see the team until they were
almost upon it, and it was then too
late to stop the machine. The Occu
pants of the automobile were all
thrown out, and the machine went
over the ditch and through the fence.
Mr.. Moorhead was thrown several
feet into the air, his buggy was COM
pletely wrecked and his horse killed.
Mr.. Moorhead was quite badly hurt,
but none of the young men In the au-
to mobile were hurt at all, save for a
few slight scratches and bruises, and
the automobile was very slightly dam
aged.
AS soon as possible Mr.. Yonge and
the other young men put Mr.. Moor
head into the automobile and brought
him to town and to a physician. who
dressed his hurts. Everybody will be
glad to know that he is nat seriously
injured and that he VIII soon be as
sound as ever.
The accident Is very greatly regret

able.
