BANDITS SENTENCED.
Southern Train Robbers Given Va.
rious Terms in Prison.

A Gainesville dispatch says that the
Southern railroad train robbers,
George Anderson, Hanford and Hunt
or, were sentenced to serve terms in
the penitentiary, the former being
given twenty years and the latter fif-
teen years each.
The selection Of jury, introduction
OF testimony, argument by attorneys
and reading of the verdict required
only little more than eight hours.
Upon being arraigned, Anderson en-
tered plea of not guilty, but Hanford
and Hunter pleaded guilty and turned
states evidence.
On the witness stand they stated
that Anderson was the leader of the
gang, which was organized in Penn.
sylvania, they said, with the avowed
purpose of committing a train robbery
in this state.
Anderson is wanted in Victoria. B.
c., to serve the remainder of a term
for train robbery, but his conviction
In this state means that he will not be
surrendered to the Canadian authori.
ties until after the completion Of his
sentence in Georgia As he is s.
years Of age, he probably will never
be required to complete his term in
Canada.
The robbery in which the prisoners
were implicated took place soon after
midnight, February 10. Five men, for
two of whom the officers are still
searching, boarded the train and blew
open safe in the express car, secur-
ing about $4,000. Only a few shots
were fired during the hold-up, and
they were for the purpose of frighten-
ing passengers who left the cars to as
certain the reason for the stopping of
the train The bandits made their
escape, but five days later two of
them, Hanford and Hunter, and the
following day, Anderson, were cap
tured not far from the scene of the
robbery.

Reciprocity Agreement Important
Question.

Within the hour following the close
of the sixty-first congress President
Taft had issued a proclamation calling
the new congress to meet In extraor
binary session at noon Tuesday
April 4.
At that time he will submit for rati
hcation to a house overwhelmingly
democratic and to a senate barely re
publican, the reciprocity agreement
with Canada. The Mccall bill, carry
ing that agreement into effect and
passed by the house, met today at the
hands of the old senate the death that
had been freely predicted for 1t.
The president, well warned, If not
entirely reconciled to the fate in store
for the measure, was at the capital to
witness the obsequies. The bill was
not allowed at any time to come up in
the senate for a moments considers
ton.
The permanent tariff board bill
forced to its passage through a reluc,
tant senate, was hurried over to the
house, there to be strangled by dem
ocratic filibuster. The president, in
the room reserved for him in the sen.
ate lobby, heard the news with resig-
nation. Congress provided funds to
continue the work of the temporary
tariff board for another year.
It was at the request of the demo.
Gratis of the house and senate that
President Taft fixed the date of the
extra session on April 4. The new
Democratic ways and means commit
tee of the house, which Is also to
serve as the new Committee on COM
mittees," will meet on Monday, to take
up its latter duties. A full caucus of
all the democratic members of the
new house will not be held until April
3. In the meantime the plans for the
extra session will have developed.
There is little doubt now that the
democrats of the house will undertake
to revise at least two or three of the
schedules Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
act, and there is every reason also to
believe that these bills will be favor.
ably received in the new senate-the
increased democratic and insurgent
strength in that body giving a major.

GENERAL CABELL
IS LAID TO REST
Thousands Pay Tribute to De-
parted General.
SERVICES At DALLAS, TEXAS.
Between $4,000 and 10000 People
Were Present at the Funeral Exer-
oises-lmpresslve Ceremonies at
the cemetery-EIaborat Floral Of
ferIngs.

Followed by the largest number of
mourners and friends that have ever
attended funeral in Texas, General
w. L. Cabell, who, at the time of his
death at Dallas Wednesday, was one
OF the few remaining brigadiers Of the
Confederacy and honorary command
er-in-chief of the United Confederate
Veterans, was laid to rest in Green
wood cemetery, In Dallas, Texas. The
panoply Of q military funeral made
the service the most impressive Of its
kind ever held in Dallas. 1t is esti-
mated that between $4,000 and 10000
persons saw the funeral procession or
attended the services. The line of
march extended more than two miles.
Cross streets were blocked and the
procession moved throughout the en-
tire distance between solid lines of
humanity.
Following a Catholic service at the
house, the bier was moved to the Gem
etery under the escort of two COM
panies of militia and a platoon of
mounted police. A band played
dirges, and frequently the grizzled
Confederate veterans who were in the
line of march were seen to wipe away
tears. Veterans Of the blue followed
Immediately after those of the gray,
and then came the Sons of Confeder-
ates and the Spanish-American war
veterans.
The bier was draped in the United
States flag and in the flag of the Con-
federacy. 1t was mounted on a Gals
son and followed by riderless horse,
after which came the first fire engine
Dallas ever had, which was named
"Old Tige," in honor of General Ca
bell.
The ceremonies at the cemetery
were very impressive. The "briga-
dier's salute" was fired by cannon, and
"taps" was blown. The eulogy was
delivered by Rev. s. A. Hayden.
Three large trucks were required to
convey the floral offerings to the GEN.
etery, they having come from all sec
lions of the south.

The defeat Of the resolution may be
charged to the Democrats, and their

Senator Taliaferro who retired from
II years service in the United States SEN
ate last Saturday, was Immediately APP
pointed by Vice-President Sherman to a
vacancy on the national monetary com
mission. The place is a good one and
by many would he considered quite a
graft, the burdens being light and the
emolumentS heavy. Florida'S "buSi,
ness senator" is lucky. His knowledge
of money and intimate acquaintance
with the men who constitute the
"money power" of the country should
make him valuable member of the
commission. Senator Taliaferro is al
least the second retiring senator from
Florida who has been cared for by the
administration. Samuel PaSco on his
retirement from the senate was appoint.
ed member OF the Panama Canal com,
mission.

Gen. w. H. Sebring has announced
that he will be a candidate for mayor of
Jacksonville in opposition to the pres
ent incumbent and aSpirant for e-eleC-
ton, Col VIM. S. Jordan. Gen. Se-
bring once filled the place most accep-
tibly, but that was in the days when
Jacksonville was silver. He is older
now and hasn't the energy OF Jordon,
nor the winning ways so necessary 10
the proper performance OF those social
stunts which mark the administration of
the past year. 1t should be remembered
that Jacksonville is now getting to be
convention city and that great bodies
like the state local option convention re-
quire entertainment commensurate with
the ideals and aspirations in life OF the
delegates, and that on occasions like this
a mayor is needed who is familiar with
the hidden things of the town and who
will be able 10 steer the cotillion
through the streets without hitting the
beaConS. In ordinary administrative af-
fairs Gen. Sebring is all right, but in
these days of hustle much more than
administrative ability is needed of the
man who fills the office of mayor in
wide open and ambitious city.

How To Stop
Stubborn Cough

We don't mean just stop the irri-
tation in your throat-but cure the
underlying cause.
Cough syrups cannot do this. 1t
takes a constitutional tonic body
builder to do the work properly
and cure you to stay cured. Vinol
is the remedy you need.
HERE Is PROOF
Mrs. Minnie OsgOOd, of GIeDs Falls.
n. ", writes:- " A fter trying several REM
edies for a bad cough and cold without
benefit, 1 was asked to try VinoI. II
worked like magic. 1t cured my cold
and cough and gained in health and
strength. 1 consider VinoI the most
wonderful tonic and invigorator 1 ever
saw"
If we cannot stop that cough
with VINOL-our delicious cod
liver and iron tonic-which is made
without OLIVE will not charge
you a cent for the medicine you
buy. This seems like a pretty fair
proposition-and ought to be &C
cepted. Don't you think so? With
this understanding we ask you to
try a bottle of VINOL.

excellent and phenominally successful

the senior Stovall will! enjoy his money

brethren OF the Florida press that there is
happiness TO be found in this world
away from the daily round of newspaper
toll; that others, seeing his successful
quest, will also retire on their wealth
and give the coming generation of edi-

it is everlaStingly too late for them TO
enjoy it. Time was when men sought
gold in the form of nuggets and dust

habit of patronizing it. Stovall did that.
