Another mysterious shooting Is re-

Shortly after the shooting, which
occurred about Z o'clock on Sunday

went to Alachua and gave the first
news OF the AFFAIR.
The justice there at once impaneled

were in session a greater part of Mon
day, but nothing had been brought
out that would give any idea Of the
perpetrators Of the crime.
The negro resided in a good section

J. NJ. Shaw at the time. He bore a
good reputation and was generally
liked by all classes Of citizens, who
deplOre the killing. for this is the sec
ond ofense like this that has occur
red there within a short time.
Shannon had gone 70 his door to
answer a summons, and when he
opened ii he was fTled with the load
Of shot, expiring a short while after

LIMBURGER CHEESE BOUT.

One of the recent sporting events that we fear will escape the pictur
 esque rhetorical treatment of the man who serves the highly intellectual dope" on the sporting page, was the limburger cheese Marathon at St. Louis. This is to be regretted. No one save real authority could do the subject that justice which its merit deserves. IL appears that this cheese eatoing contest is regular affair, and fin the latest contest one Joseph Uhl won smilingly with four pounds of limburger to his discredit, while his opponent limped painfully under the burden of only two pounds. Of course the match was to a finish, but the dispatch does not state whether the

EIGHTY. YEARS OLD

SALT LAKE CIrY UTAH.-Mrs. J. H. McNeal after attaining the ripe old age of four score years, writes the following letter for the benefit of the younger generations. 1T am eighty years old and thank Ballard's HOre- hound Syrup for having cured me of coughs, colds and similar diseases.
 We are all exposed at times. to pulmonary diseases and should be glad to know the best remedy.
 Ballard's Horehound Syrup can be given to babies as we'll as adults. Try a small bottle at first and after that buy the larger bottles, which are cheaper in proportion.

 Gmburger cheese eating contest would be d fine and spirited thing 70 witness with spyglass. Untortun- ately details are lacking as to the progress of the match by rounds. or hounds. or whatever they call them. We can only imagine what the thing was like. But any man who would bet against an entry i'll a cheese eat ing bout bearing the name of Uhl $ a mighty poor judge of possibilities, based upon past performances. It can be surmised that the limburger cheese belt is no dainty fillet that can he won lightly and by the exercise of mere sporting generalship. The prowess necessary tor human being to consume four pounds of the fra grant fromage commands respect and applause Perhaps Uhl was in great cheese eating form and was able at the end of the contest to pay due and appropriate respect to the case of beer that was the prize and which en- shrines the most tender traditions Of limburger.
 We lament the ignorance that com pels the question, but we should like to inquire how the exact amount of cheese eaten is ascertained. Do they weigh the cheese or the contestants? It would be interesting also to know how any young and ambitious cheese
 eater would train. Manifestly no mere amateur could hope to arrive at
 the superlative degree of skill and capacity of Uhl without long and ard-
 nous training, and to train properly one must have experienced mentors. Obviously the unsung hero of paltry
 pound or so of limburger could not develop without an intelligent under standing of all the fine points of the game. Of course, one must keep
 sharp eve upon ones opponent. Ii the latter puts mp stiff and aggres- sive pace at the start 1t would make difference. The technique of llm- burger cheese eating must be essen tially different from the beefsteak en- durances and the other gastronomic field sports which fascinate so many of our most staid and dignified citi-
 zens. Hamburger cheese appeals to
 one, often from a great distance. It
 is an assertive and high spirited sub stance that one should not handle idly and think to put away without lingering memories. And four pounds
 of 1t. If that isn't record for the
 human stomach, what is? Anyway
