Absence of Speculation.

Slow, dragging movements of stocks
during the morning reflected the con-
tinued absence of speculative interests.
Fluctuations of stocks were unusually
narrow among the standard issues.

count of uncertainty to the out
come of the reorganization proceed

market was IistlesS at the opening today.
Most of the speculative leaders were
either unchanged from yesterdays close
or slightly above it. The Wabash issues
showed some further heavinesS.
Attempts to lift prices did not meet
with much success. A slight rise in val
ues brought out enough stocks to cause
a decided downward movement. Union
Pacific, Reading and United States steel
and other favorites gave way to slightly

downward tendency. Wabash fell /. the

WHY DIDN'T HE TRY
HIS ESCAPE HERE?

John. Turner, convicted Of stealing
q team of mules, who was being
taken from Ottawa county to the
state penitentiary at Lansing TO be-
gin serving his sentence, leaped from
Union Pacific train No. 104, going
at the speed Of 50 miles an hour,
Just east of Rossville, yesterday af-
ternoon, and succeeded in making
his escape. Sheriff J. v. Caper OF
Ottawa county, who had Turner In
custody. was still searching for his
prisoner last night, but up to late
hour had failed to find trace Of him.
: Yesterday train No. 104 was three
hours late and arrived at the block
Of the Abilene yards the same time
train No. lot did. 1t waited for
10 minutes at the signal block at
the Mud Creek bridge for 10' to
side track and then slowly pulled
into the station. Turner could have
had plenty of time to jump and
without any danger Of being killed.

A. O. U, w. DIFFICULTIES
WERE ADJUSTED.


Every member of the A. o, U. w,
in the state will be glad to learn that
the difficulty between the grand
lodge of Kansas and the supreme
lodge of the United States has been
settled in a manner satisfactory to
both sides. The settlement was
made yesterday In Chicago at con-
ference Of officers from both sides.
DR.. J. w. Graybill, grand master OF
the order Of Kansas, who has work
ed hard to bring about the present
amicable agreement, yesterday an
nounced that 1t had been affected
The difficulty between the grand
lodge and the supreme lodge came
about in 1909. That year when the
grand lodge of the state met In sa-
lima, 1t was decided that 1t would
separate from the supreme lodge
This step was taken because the
members in Kansas, and there are
$4,000 Of them, thought they were
payIng too much for the benefit OF
the members IN other states. They
figured that the mortality rate In
Kansas was the lowest in the Union
and that the members here should
not pay In proportion to members
in the state where the mortality rate
was much higher.
While this action is evidently fair
to the Kansas members, the supreme
lodge held that the Kansas A. o.
U. W. owed It $4,000 as per capita
tax. The Kansas members could not
see II that way. The result was a
suit filed by the supreme lodge
against the grand lodge Of Kansas
for the amount.
While this suit has been pending
It has been handicapping the A. O.
U. w. in the state in its campaign
to secure membership. Men who
represented other orders did not
hesitate to use the suit to influence
the prospective member. Now the
suit "a settled. the order in Kansas
viii be able to wage q campaign
much more easily than in the past
two yeare.

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

TAKE UP ATHLETIC6'
Isn't It a shame girls can not play
foot ball? They would "just love-
to don foot ball toys and muss one
another's complexion with bit Of
loose soil from the gridiron. But
propriety says no. The U. B, W.
girls, therefore, have inaugurated a
new sport at high school among the
girls, 1t can hardly be called new
for these very same girls in their
childhood days delighted in the very
same sport. Crack the whip-that
Is the game. Its newness comes
from the fact that II has never been
played at high school before. Leave
1t to the girls, they will have their
athletics even though Mr.. Propriety
will not stand for foot ball being
played by members of the fair sex.

HARD ROAD TO ORANGE SPRINGS

Subscription lists are now being cir
culated for the building of the hard
road which is to connect Silver
Springs with Orange Springs. Those
who are interested state that they
will raise from four to six thousand
dollars for this road, and that same
will be built in very short time.
This road will be of great benefit
to the people of the Grahamville and
Conner neighborhood, and is so laid
out as to do the greatest amount of
good to the greatest number of peo-
pie living in the northeast portion of
this county.
With the extensive improvements
being made at Silver Springs, the
building on towards Palatka of the
Ocala Northern railroad, and the rap
id settlement of this portion of the
county by settlers of the Burbank col
ony, this section, with a good hard
road, should bring a great deal of
business to Ocala merchants. Hard
roads bring business and make bus
mess. Let us have all of them we
can possibly get. 1t is to be hoped
that those who are to be benefited
will respond literally when asked for
subscriptions, for all will undoubtedly
benefit greatly thereby.

CARVING HIS WAY TO FAME AND
FORTUNE

J. L. Billingsley of Miami wore a
very worried look when he first came
to the capital about ten days ago, the
cause being as he styled it the action
of some very indiscreet, populistic
and scoialistic" gentlemen in insert
ing in the Fort Lauderdale charter,
which is now before the legislature
for ratification, an innocent looking,
pleasant sounding little referendum
clause relating to franchises. Now,
Billingsley, who is attorney for the
town and about everybody else in the
region-a sort of legal Pooh Bah,
by the way-was not in Tallahassee
as governors secretary for nothing,
so he put on his war paint and went
cunning for the referendum joker. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that the
aforesaid joker lies dead with its lit
tie feet in the air, and its little eyes
closed, and that Billingsley smiles.
shakes hands, and smiles again, just
as usual
Billingsley is a fine example of
what hard study and thrift and ener-
gy can do. Starting life as the pri-
vate secretary of poor but religious
governor do not mean poor" in
ability-he, has risen until now he
is classed among the plutes of the
Everglade auckland, and has lost all
of his love-aye, even respect-for
the people, such as was instilled into
him during the early days of the Jen-
nings administration. Even so. 1t is
said that he can now look the people
in the eye, with bold look of chal-
lenge, and tell them to go to -.
Billingsley is assured of owning or
controlling a bank, land company,
an electric light and water company,
a dredging company, an ice company
and blacksmith shop, where shack
les are forged for the people who bor-
row money from his bank or get be-
hind in their ice bills Following
these progressive ideas he will soon
desert the Gilchrist Order of Ancient
Bachelors and endeavor to become
the father of south Florida.-Talla-
