The Pensacola journal is of the
opinion that leprosy is not as bad as
some people seem to think, and is in
clined to encourage the establishment
of a national leporian in Florida, where
the climatic conditions are said to be
very beneficial in curing the dreaded
disease. Yes. And now we come to
think Of it, the government has a res
ervation near Pensacola which is about
to be abandoned for military purposes.
Why wouldn't this reservation make a
good leporian? The climate of Escam-

air to sniff.-Palatka News.

was an immediate rallying force and
stiffening of ranks among the insur-
gents and democrats, Fitzgerald in
sisted upon the consideration of his
motion to discharge a committee
which was upon the calendar and
made point of order.
The speaker had his ruling on the
point prepared in advance and read
from the manuscript. He neld that

tory upon the house to take up mo-
tons, to discharge committee.

POLICE CHIEF SMITH

With coat pealed off and shirt
sleeves up to the elbow, Chief of
Police Smith, together with five
workmen and two teams, was busy
as the proverbial beaver all day
long today, filling in holes along
Main and other streets that had
proved considerable of an inconveni-
ence during the heavy rains of the
past week. The chief is of the
opinion that by the time he gets
through with the streets of Tonopah
they will stack up well alongside
of any in the state. He promises
to be proud and chesty over his
good work when he gets it COM
pleted. The, rock being used for
filing in has been donated by the
Jim Butler mine.

Ell PASO, Texas, March IA
Rumors are rife in this city that
the fifteen Americans captured at
the battle of Casas Grandes have
been executed by the federal author
tiles. While no confirmation can
be had of the report, the consistent
rumors are causing considerable
feeling at this point. General Ma
dero has been requested to, send a
list of the names of the men to
this city, but the messenger is still
missing.
Casas Grandes is $50 miles from
Ell Paso and the messenger is trav-
cling on foot.
Gonzales Cara, secretary of state
for the insurrectos and in charge
of the iuanta here here, said last
night:
There is no doubt that the
Americans have been taken out and
shot. Under martial law the Mexi-
can authorities would feel perfect
ly justified in shooting them, basing
