THE COUNTY'S
STRONG BOX.
Monies in the County Treasury
Jan. 1st, 1911.

In another column of this paper Coun-
ty Clerk Hutchinson publishes state
ment showing the condition of the va
riouS funds in the county treasury at the
time the new board of county commits
Sioners took up the management of af-
fairs on Jan. 1st.
The report is published in compliance
with a resolution introduced by Com
missioner E. B. Perry of Melrose and
adopted by the board.
Mr. Perry said that the people wanted
and had the right to know the exact
condition of the treasury; that they ex-
pected the present board to do certain
things, and that when they knew what
little money there was on hand TO do
with, they could not blame the present
board for lis failure TO comply.
The report shows that at the begin
ming of the present year the county was
in debt to the extent of $12, ,151.O of
which amount over $4,000 is due to
over-expenditure in the General Revenue
Fund. This fund should be easy in
another month, as will the other funds,
but with more than 10000 outstanding
against the general revenue, the present
board will not be enabled to indulge in
any extravaganza.
County Clerk Hutchinson is his re-
port also shows in detail the probable
revenues of the county for the year,
based on the amounts received last year.
Also the money due and payable by
April 1st for 1910 taxes.
The report is comprehensive and will
be readily understood by all who take
time to read it.

No Damage From Cold.

The cold of Tuesday and Wednesday
morning did not result in any serious
damage 10 the fruit and trucking inter
estS OF Putnam county. And except for
frost in one or two low places there was
no injury.
The lowest point recorded by the
mercury in and about Palatka occurred
on Wednesday, when the thermometer
went to 80.
Edward North of Bostwick who was
in the city at noon, states that there was
no damage to vegetables in his section.
And James H. Fry, who is engaged ex-
tcnsively in trucking near Orange Mills,
reports no damage to his growing crop
of tender vegetables.
There are a few cold places in the
county, where the ground is rich, black
muck, where it is feared frost did some
damage. But no reports of damage
have come TO Palatka.
The orange and peach growing sec
tions escaped without damage.

NIGHT fire RUINS
STEPHENS home
Prompt and Intelligent Work
of Fire Company Saves
Other Property.

The alarm of fire little before
O'Clock last Saturday night was occa-
stoned by the discovery of flames iSSu-
ing from the roof of the residence on
South Emmett street occupied by Prof.
G. A. Stephens principal of the Palatka
high school.
By the time the firemen reached the
scene of the blaze practically the entire
roof of the house was in flames, but by
quick, intelligent work they were soon
subdued.
There was little wind string al the
time, and this fact together with the
prompt work of the firemen probably
saved adjoining residences, some of
which are among the most attractive in
the city.
AS soon as the fire was discovered the
family assisted by neighbors succeeded
in removing much of the household
effects; what was left was more damaged
by water than fire.
The fire attracted an immense throng
of people, and many were the compli-
ments paid to the firemen for their
promptnesS and effective work.
The residence is the property of Mrs.
Vincent Moody of Orlando, and was in
sured with the G. Loper Bailey Co. for
$500. 1t is also stated that Prof,
Stephens carried good insurance on his
furniture.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but it is supposed TO have been started
by imperfect Insulation of electric
wires.
Prof Stephens is now settled in the
Roberts house at the corner of Kirby
and Dodge streets.

"THE BLUE MOUSE"
AT THE ORPHEUM.
Immense Audience Witnesses
Opening of Palatka's New
Play House.

The theater going people of Palatka
will not soon forget the opportunity af-
forded them in the real opening of the
Orpheum Theater, TO see comedy of
merit presented by company of artists.
And that is what they really did see
in the presentation of "The Blue
Mouse" a farcial comedy of three acts
adapted from the German by Clyde
Fitch, at the Orpheum last Tuesday
night.
Twas cold night and the fact that
there was known 10 be no means OF
heating the big theater undoubtedly
kept many away, as also did the fact OF
a counter attraction. But fully 400 pco-
pie were on hand, and if there is one
who didn't get his moneys worth, the
News has failed TO hear of that person.
"The Blue Mouse" is story full of
complications bordering on the Sensa-
tional, and in places is fully as SuggeS-
tive of the improper and immoral as the
modern theatrical taste demands. No
one will attempt to defend "The Blue
Mouse" as conserving the morals of the
community. 1t can't be done.
Ii is the story of a gay old railroad
president and his private secretary who
is ambitious for advancement, and on
whose ability to secure promotion de-
pendS $50, 900 bequest from his father
in-law, who is a somewhat frisky old
bird, himself.
The private secretary hires the blue
Mouse" a famous dancer and beauty 10
pose as his wife and take a hand in ca
joling division superintendency from
the president. In the meantime the sec.
retary's wife, the presidents wife and
the affianced husband of the dancer, as
we'll as the secretary'S father-in-law
break into the plot and there are some
funny complications. The whole thing
is peppery from start TO finish, and The
whole play teens with the most laugha-
BILE situations. But all ends happily.
"The Blue Mouse" is taken by Grace
Merritt, vivaciouS little woman full of
life and earnestnesS and who is an artist
as we'll in her ability to wear pretty and
difficult gowns.
Guy D'Ennery as the private secretary
is natural in the performance OF his du-
ties and comedian of rare ability.
Wilton Taylor as president, linda
Palmer as his wife, Mabel RiSley as wife
of the secretary, John E. HyneS her
father, and Gordon Mendelssohn as
Philip ScarSdale made up most splen
didly balanced cast of leaders, who
were assisted in minor parts by a dozen
or more persons who were thoroughly
alive to the importance of their parts.
Rarely have PalatkanS been privileged
to witness funnier or more exquiSitely
rendered comedy, or one where they
could get more real enjoyment.

MAYOR DAVIS
PROCLAMATION
Calling for a City Election, has
Been Issued.

Mavor Howell A. Davis has this week
issued his proclamation calling for an
election to be held on Tuesday, April
4th, to fill the office of Mayor, and for
one alderman from each ward, except
the Second ward, where two will be
elected The extra alderman TO be
elected in this ward is 10 fill the uneX-
pired term of alderman D. A. MulliS,
who has moved from the ward and city.
Mr.. MulliS has one year of his term TO
serve, but because of his removal,
Mayor Davis has declared the office
vacant.
Among the aldermen TO retire this
year are some very excellent men like
Wilson and Yelvington and Haughton
and others.
The city executive committee met on
Monday night and issued call for the
ward meeting and the city convention.
The ward meetings will be held on
Monday evening, March 9th, as will be
seen by the call of the committee, signed
by T. NJ. Ray, chairman and H. L. Mer-
ryday, secretary.
The offices of Mayor and aldermen
for the city of Palatka are not regarded
as snaps especially is this true of the
office of alderman. They do the work
gratis and give up much of their time to
the city'S interests. 1t is thankless
Job, and one that is usually filled by
men of patriotic motives.
With the Mayor it's different. He
gets paid 500 year, and when he dis
SipatcS all of this money in riotouS liv-
ing, no one questions the propriety of
the expenditure. He has a certain
amount of dignity TO maintain.
Palatla usually selects good man for
the office of mayor, and one OF the best
it has ever had is the present incumbent,
Howell A. Davis, native OF the city
and one of its foremost business men
and manufacturers. Mr.. Davis has taken
a deep interest in the city's affairs for
several wears, and before being elected
Mayor he served with ability on the city
council, where at the last he was chair
man.
AS Mayor he is on TO the job all the
time He takes a pride in the office.
He has held it two years and has said
that he will accept denomination.
So far as the News can learn up to the
present time there will be no demo
cratic opposition to the denomination
and reelection of Mayor Davis Men
may differ with him at times, but they
never question his purity of purpose.
They like him both as man and mayor.
What opposition there may be TO him
will come from the newly organized so
cialiSt party in the city, and of which &.
A. LcEIardy is the head.
The city convention of the socialist
party will be held next Wednesday
night, when ii is the purpose to place q
full city ticket in nomination.
