Passing of a Once Famous Tribe of
Mexican Indians.
All the world has heard Of the IA
nous Yaqui Indians of the state OF
Sonora, Mexico. They are for the most
part jewellers in the hills, crudely arm
ed with primitive weapons, but ter
rife fighters who have more than once
decisively beaten the soldiers of
Mexico.
Peaceable when undisturbed, fully
alive to the richness of their mines
and the value of their fertile valleys,
they sought only to defend that which
was theirs from the grasping hands OF
those who desired their mines and
their lands. Like most aborigines.
however, they were doomed from the
first. What was at the time of Cortes
a tribe of 5000 strong, able to defy the
warriors of Montezuma, has dwindled
until there are now not more than
800 souls In the valley of the Yaqui
river and in the mountain gorges
which wall In the source of this
stream.
The bulk of the Yaquis have been
wiped out in sanguinary wars or taken
prisoners and shot, and those for whom
no excuse for death could be found
have been deported to the fever strick-

race are no more, but their passing
has been made complete only during
the past few years.-Wide World Mag

Green Fruit Shipments Stopped.

General satisfaction all over the state
has resulted from the passage by both
branches of the Florida legislature of
the bill against the picking, packing,
offering for sale, or the shipment of inn
mature and unripe citrus fruit, but in no
circle is the news more welcomed than
in the Florida Citrus Exchange,
Expressing his views on the damage
done TO the state by the shipment OF
green fruit, Sales Manager r. P. Burton
of the Citrus Exchange, says:
''For the past ten years, the shipment
of green fruit from Florida has increased

citrus fruit interests of the state.
at was first noticed following the
freeze of 1S94-1S95. After the freeze
there were few oranges TO ship and the
green fruit then obtained its first i'm
petus on the markets.
California, as a competitor, to hurt
the market price for Florida oranges,
has not been a factor when the ship
mentS of green fruit from the state is
considered. The individual grower, in
many instances, has been encouraged TO
ship immature fruit and the result has
been that not only he, but nearly all the
other growers have been affected by it.
Heretofore we have not had any
legislation in the state 10 restrain the
shipment of green fruit There was no
restraint to protect the integrity of the
fruit industry of Florida. No more
needed or effective legislation could
have been proposed, for, when the bill
is signed by Governor GilchriSt, needed
reforms will be inaugurated with re-
spect 10 the Florida citrus fruit business. -

The newspaper fraternity in Florida
has suffered distinct loss in the death
of Editor ChaS. L. Bittinger of the
Ocala Star He was former president
of the State Press Association and a
vigorous worker for the upbuilding OF
that organization. He was manly,
sweet-spirited gentleman who was actu-
ated in all his work by noble impulses
and aims. Editor Frank Harris of the
Ocala Banner, his competitor in the
newspaper field, is perhaps better pre-
pared to speak knowingly of the dead
editor than any one else. Mr.. Harris
says:
"Mr. Bitinger was man of remarka-
BILE powers and his habits of life won
him many friends. He was of robust
frame; he possessed a strong, vigorous
intellect; a sunny, optimistic tempera-
ment. He opposed oppression in all its
forms, and did not wish to deny nor
abridge the right of free speech TO any
human being. Tolerant in his own
opinions, he was most tolerant of the
prohibitionist, and took a conspicuous
part in all temperance movements. He
was strong advocate OF good roads and
was secretary of the association. He
took an active interest in our public
schools, and used his voice and pen TO
promote their efficiency. For the past
thirty years he attended every school
commencement in this city, and being
fluent speaker, was invited, and accepted
many invitations, TO deliver school ad
dresses in this and adjoining counties.
He was school enthusiast, and believed
that the public school, more than all
things else, was the prime factor in our
development and homogeneity. He
served on our local school board and
his zeal was always in evidence. =

While the deceased was active and Vigo,

We sometimes feel that il is best TO go
that way-go while we are still in the
full possession of all our faculties; before
we become burden and a charge upon
our loved ones. As he was tolerant in
his political opinions Mr.. Biltinger was
likewise tolerant in his religious beliefs
He respected all religions and creeds,
He believed that the pcarly gates would
be closed upon no one if truly sincere
and devout So sunny tempered, so
guileless, so favoring all things of good
report, those who knew him truly be
lieve that his soul has passed through
those gates and that he is now robed in
