NOT ALARMED OVER REPORTS
 OF FIGHTING
Powers Pay Little Heed to So- Called WarIike Actions of Au- tria-Hungary and
 Serv.a

London, Dec. 9.-PreparationS for
 the peace conference and ambassa-
 dorial meeting, next Friday, went on
 apace. today. the diplomats protesting
 not to be alarmed over reports of
 desultory fighting in the near east. It was considered, too, that the report
 ed warlike actions of Austria-Hun- gary and Servia were more for effect than in contemplation of actual hos tilities.
 4 despatch from Cettinje said that the war still was on in northern AL bania, because the Turkish governor of Scutari refused to accept as genuine the communication brought to him telling of the signing of an armistice and he fired upon the Montenegrin lieutenant who acted as en1issary. The Greek gunboats were said to still be off the straits where they were sighted, Saturday. but no act of hostility on their part was reported. Turkish endorsements from Asia Minor still were arriving in Gall1poit and the Turkish cavalry and artillery that had been engaged in the war with Italy, today, embarked at TripoH
 for GolIipoH, but these movements were not regarded as signifying that
 Turkey planned to do anything in
 vio .ation of the protocol of Baghtechi. That Turkey as well as Austria
 Hungary wolld withhold consent for
 of Durazzo. was indicated by an in tervtew with Kiamil Pasha, Turkish
 grand vizier. He was quoted as say ing that Turkey never would consent for Albania to be cut up.
 Asked if his government favored Turkey joining the Balkan alliance.
 the grand vizier was said to have replied that it all depended on what advantage Turkey would be likely to find in such an al lance which could not be determined until the meeting of the peace envoys.
 AUSTRIA sEIzEs FLOUR Belgrade, Dec. 9.-On the heels of the semi official information that Servia would abandon her pet project of holding an Adriatic seaport and would leave the settlement of her differences with Austria-Hungary to the coming conference of the powers, excitement was raised to fever heat again, today, by the report that Aus
 tria had stopped a boat loaded with Servian supplies.
 It was said that the Austrian au- thorit!es had stopped the steamer Hegdish at Plume and had taken floNr that was bound for the Servian
 army about Durazzo and that Austro- Hungarian forces intended to convert the flour to their own use.

A RUNAWAY

Mr.. James r. Moorhead is survey
ing the streets to ascertain the levels
so as to give the proper grades for the
street paving, and got out of his bug
gy Friday afternoon near the resi-
dence of Mr. Richard Hall and did
not take the precaution to hitch the
animal, and it became frightened at
some object, and made a wild fight
down Fort King avenue in the direc-
tion Of the city, and did not stop un-
til she fell exhausted in front of the
Harrington Hail. the distance being
fully half mile Many thought that
the horse had injured herself in the
fall but she soon recovered and did
no damage to the vehicle and @only
broke a few OF the harness straps.
Mr.. Moorhead was soon seen in the
vehicle driving home as usual. The
horse is very pretty one and Mr..
MOOrhead's friends are glad that it
sustained no injuries.

Mrs. Ingram was the beloved wife
of Mr.. Peter Ingram, who came to
Ocala about twenty-five years ago.
She was born in England, and was
twice married. She was we'll known
and beloved of many in this city. She

c. I. U. She is survived by a son by
her first marriage, who resides in
England and by her husband and son,
Mr. A. H. Ingram, and two Step-sons,

The most favorable remarks have
been heard for the past two days
about the very clever production of
Madame Sherry" which was shown
at the Temple Saturday night 1t IS
by far the finest show that has yet
appeared in the Ocala theater, and
too much praise cannot be given the
management for securing such a first
class show for the theater-goers OF
this city. Pretty little Miss Ada
Meade, who is yet in her twenties,
was as graceful as the butterflies that
she sang of, and as dainty and as pref
ty as a picture. She has starred in
the production of Madame Sherry"
for three seasons, and is always the
same pretty and captivating Yvonne.

THE COUNTY LIBRARY;
 CLEARING HOUSE OF BOOKS

extension of their activities. Maryland
 likewise, has made provision for county li- | brares. which are operated with state | support.
 '1 consider the county library plan ar 1 important step in the educational devel- opment of this country" said pr. ,ClaX- ton yesterday "As is well known, the | schooling of most persons is of such short duration that their cultural development
 must be obtained principally by their | own efforts from books and any plar which will increase the'number and avail
 ability of the books at their command | will naturally be an important factor in
 raising the standard of the average per- | sons education.
 Generally speaking. the cities of the | United States are well supplied with li- | brary facilities. However. there still re-
 mains the great problem of giving the 1 rural citizen the same opportunities of contact with the world of books as are
 enjoyed by his city brother. Personally, | I believe that the inhabitants of rural 1 districts profit even more from reading | than do those who live in our centers of population. My own experience, as well | as that of other educators has been that country people read better books than
 townfoik they read better books, and | get moro out of them.
 'The ultimate effect of ai1ing the read- | ing habit among the rural citizen. there | fore. may readily be not only to increase the number of readers in this country but 1 also to raise the standard of reading, and l consequently the standards of life and | culture"
 | Dr. Claxton went on to say that his ad- vocacy of the county library was based
 on his personal observation of the Brum- | back library of Van Vert county Ohio,
 which is at present one of the few ir- l stitutions of this kind in the country The | Brumback county library Is the result | of the will of the late John Sanford Brum- | back, a merchant and banker of Van | Vert who directed that S19,000 from his | estate should be devoted to the erection | and furnishing of a library building as Il l free gift to Van Vert county. if the l county would provide for it's maintenance | and it's equipment of books. Later MT l Brumback's children and heirs increased l this donation to $50,000. With the money
 realized from county tax levy some S00i books were purchased in 1899, and these l together with 1600 others turned over bl l the merger of an existing library, formed 1 the nucleus of the present collection. | The library building erected by tn, | Brumbaclx estate was turned over to th, county in 1901. It is a beautiful struc | ture, in the Gothic -Romanesque style o architecture, built Of Bedford blue sane | stone, with a tile and marble interior freproof throughout. The bookstacks hav'
 a capacity of 25,O00 volumes. With tn handsome park In which it is located, tn Brumback library has become one of tn show places of Van Vert.
 This is the central depository for tn l county's system of branch libraries am | school libraries. The branches are | l charge of libraries who are paid $50 year, and are made responsible for tn
 safekeeping of the books sent them. Rura
