The Mills of the Gods at the Ideal
next Wednesday, 10Th, matinee and
night, is an elaborate production,
beautifully staged and the costumes
worn by the ladies of the cast are
ma gnificent creations by Worth of
Paris. This picture is an expensive
one, but the Ideal management hope
to prove to Ocala's public that their
price will always remain the same re-
gardless of the extra expense they
have to incur to get the best.

At one time this was true, but the
labor saving machinery that men use
today makes it unnecessary for them
to work from sun to sun; and they ac-

There is still a bigger difference in
the change of the woman's work who
uses modern cooking utensils, such as

her work be done quicker, but more
pleasantly and easier, to say nothing
of the difference in the results of her

THE WEALTH OF FERGUS.

The assessed valuation of Fergus
county for this year shows an even
greater increase than was anticipated.
Exclusive of the railways, the total is
$15,052,735, which is gain over last
year of $1097,677. 1t is estimated
that the increase in the railway val
uation, coming from the mileage of
the Great Northerns line from Lew
istown to Moccasin, will swell this net
gain for the year to about $1,4OO,OOO.
Few of the items of Importance show
any notable decrease this year, while
the gain comes, outside of the rail-
ways, chiefly from the land and i'm
provements. Most significant is the
fact that vast area of 100000 acres
of land is added to the assessment
this year. That land will soon be, for
the most part, under cultivation, and
with the steel now being laid to Grass
Range, the development Of the great
e; st side of Fergus county is begun.
Large areas Of splendid farm land
will be added from year to year and
all this means that the output of the
county in agricultural products Of all
sorts will attain immense proportions
in the next five or six years.
The increase in wealth, as shown
by the assessors report, is an evil
dence of the increase in population,
and altogether it may be safely said
that Fergus is gaining in both wealth
and population more rapidly than any
county in Montana.

waves of the Golden Gate, that there
never was any intention of deferring
the trial of the cases indefinitely, and
that everything was done in legal
fashion just as is agreed every day in
law courts to meet fair and reason
able conveniences. The accused will
be tried in the near future, but the
prosecutor will not be McNab. This
will likely displease the gentleman
with the distended and vociferous vo-
cabulary, but it will hardly hurt the
administration of justice much.
The McNab idea was to besmirch
the character of United States Attor-
ney General McReynolds and Incl
dentally to play little game of small
politics which might inure to the
standing of the standpat wing OF the
republican party, of which he is a
stern and inflexible pillar But be-
tween the president and the attorney
general they have effectually pune
tured the scheme. McNab says the
incident is now closed. So is McNab,

JOHNSON QUITS AMERICA.

Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist,
who, in collaboration with some de-
generate white women who persisted
in seeking his society, has caused the
officials much trouble and the courts
much work, has himself found a
happy solution of the Johnson prob
lem. He was convicted in the fed
eral court of Chicago of certain i'm
moralities, given a prison sentence
and heavy fine. The pugilist ap-
pealed and was released on bonds in
the sum of $4,000. Whereupon the
pugilist went over to Canada and took
a steamer for France. 1t appears that
Paris wants Johnson. Just now box.
ing is the craze in the French me-
tropolis and the black slugger is vel
coined with open arms. From Paris
Johnson sends the message that he
had concluded to take up his perma
nent residence there and will not re
turn to the United States. Rather
than to do so he will forfeit his bond
of 100000. There is, it appears, nc
extradition provision exactly covering
this case, but the government attor
neys say the pugilist could undoubt
edly be brought back. On the whole
however, they have decided to lei
France keep Johnson while Uncle
Sam keeps the $4,000. This decision
is one that will undoubtedly give en-
tire satisfaction to every one. The
country is we'll rid of the slugger ant
France is entirely welcome to him.

The news that the late Henry NJ.
Flagler left an estate valued at $780,
100000 has attracted little attention
and almost no comment. There are
so many fortunes in this country
much larger that we have become
used to hearing of those the size OF
the Flagler estate. There is, too, a
more kindly feeling toward F'lagler
than most of the men of collosal
wealth, due largely to the fact that
this man devoted his wealth to the
development of Florida. His railway
running out over the Keys was dar-
ing conception and was brilliant
piece of engineering, as has been ex-
planned in the letters written from
Florida by DR.. w. A. Long, of this
city. Returning to the F1agler fortune,
however, the Philadelphia Ledger
points out that it Is larger than all
the money in all the banks in America
in 1910. 1t is far larger than the to
tai annual receipts of the government
prior to the Civil war. 1t is larger
than all the money in circulation ir
the United States in 1880.

cabinet, have been found speculating
in the stocks of wireless and other
corporations with which those same
members of the ministry were nego-
tiating for contracts on behalf Of their
government. They will find that the
German empire is being Jared to its
foundations by reason of apparently
well-founded charges that some of the
nlgnest court officials have been in
league with the powerful Krupp steel
company in the business of promoting
war scares in order that there be
brought about an increased demand
for Krupp army and naval supplies.
It stands to reason that our con-
gress Is made up of men whose rec
ords have been rather closely scanned
by the thousands who are responsible
for their election. It also stands to
reason that not many of them would
be here had it been demonstrated
that they have been guilty of personal
dishonor or political perfidy. Espe-
cially is it true that very few or any
of those who have been here for long
er than one term would have been
able to come back had their official
conduct been to any degree censura-
BILE. AS a general rule, the American
people do not elect crooks to congress.
1t is rarer still that they reelect men
of that character.
