A railroad from Venice to Char
lotte Harbor is going to be built
by the new Charlotte Harbor &
Venice Railroad Company. Work
will begin in the near future, pos
sibly within sixty days.
Leaving Charlotte Harbor, this
road will cross the G. I'll. & N.
one-and-a.half miles east of Muir
dock, near Mars. going straight to
Venice and connecting with the
Seaboard Air Line. This road
will make the distance about forty
miles nearer to Tampa and about
seventy-fve miles nearer to Jack
sonville, which will be great all
vantage to those in the north who
wish to spend their winters in
south Florida, especially to those
wishing to come to the coast,
where there's more refreshing and
pleasant breezes.
A large part of the right-of-
way has been secured, and DR.. c.
f. McKham of Greenville, o., is
now working to secure right Of
way through Manatee county. In
this effort he Is now in New York,
and returning, he will come by
Richmond, Va, Birmingham, Ala,
and other points to see parties in
terested in the project.
The contract has been signed up
and the surveyors have completed
their work. D. o. Mcfarland of
Meredith, Fla, is contractor and
builder. j. E. Bowdoin is taking
a very important part in raising
the bonus and securing the right
of-way; he also was the first to
entertain this company and he
feels elated over his success.

To Charlotte Harbor Practically As
sured-Route Selected

Assurance is given by L. G.
McEchin of the projectors of the
railroad from Venice to Charlotte
Harbor that work will be COM
menced on same as soon as posi-
BILE after the procuring of right
of-way and other details are COM

and advancement of this entire
section, and they will lend all the
encouragement possible to the
men who are undertaking it.
j. E. Bowdoin of Charlotte
Harbor, has taken lively person
al interest in the project, and is
still active in his efforts in its be-
half. He has enlisted valuable
aid toward securing this railroad
for his town, and now feels that he
can look forward to seeing the
line in operation at no distant day.
A route fer the railroad, select
ed from the preliminary surveys,
had been decided upon, and other
details are now being worked out.

are settling down into the Hobson ranks,
and are swelling the membership of the
Hobson clubs
THE Hobson supporters from various
parts of the county report that the whirl-
wind campaign of Mr.. Underwood through
his home county impressed the voters with
the idea that it was a desperate effort to
save the county now overwhelmingly for
Hobson. Many reports are coming To
headquarters to this effect. We claim
that the purpose and necessity for the
organization of the Underwood Volunteer
Workers seems to be well understood by
the voters of the county.
"The committee expects to make a rad
cal departure in the matter of giving out
information. We have nothing to conceal
If you care to publish them we will give
you facts, names and well authenticated
figures on this wonderful movement fol
better politics In Jefferson. We claim that
the supporters of Hobson are more active
in the field for the success of their cause
and are more in earnest than voters were
ever before in the history of politics In
this county,.

. LOOT HIDDEN IN CAVE
Search of Underground Refuge Once
Used by James Brothers

Altus, Okla, December 13.-(Specia1)
owing to the fact that the celebrated
and notorious James brothers made a
rendezvous of a famous cave near AZ
tus it is called the Jesse James cave
by the people of the surrounding coun-
try. That they did make hiding place
| of it is evident by the names carved in
the soft stone, Frank James, May 1,
1870" being foremost among them.
The cave proper is about a mile long
and at all times of the year filled with
water. One can go back one-fourth of
a mile and there the water is about
three or four feet deep, but back fur
ther 1t is six or eight feet deep. There
is no access to the cave only by swim
ming, except the front. This entrance is
hard to find; a party driving along
will not notice it, A deep ravine
gorge leads up to it and it is impos-
sible to descend this except right near
the mouth of the cave.
The cave is located ! / miles west ard
five miles north of Brinkman, Okla.
Indian relics scattered all around show
others besides Jesse James had beer
there. In 10 minutes three men who
were hunting Indian relics found 20
| Indian arrows, three of which were
perfect. Moss agates were picked up.
A large stone which was amde by the
Indians to grind corn was another find.
This cave has never been fully ex-
plored by the people near Brinkman.
Some boys from Mangum went one day
to find out something in regard to 1t.
Three days later their parents went
with lanterns to find the boys and
brought them home on stretchers, two
of them being unconscious when found.
The boys had tramped around and
around until exhausted in a chamber
of the cave proper, of which there ara
many. They had lost their matches.
their lanterns had gone out and as
it is inky dark in there they could not
find their way out.
About 20 rods from the cave Is found
a most beautiful spring. For 10 feet
the water gurgles and then falls. over
a precipice. Three feet from the place
where 1t fell 1t is gone.
During the summer an eX-convict
came to the owner of the cave and
asked that he be. allowed to explore
1t. he having been given a plan OF
the cave by a convict who died In
prison. The plan marked where a largo
amount of money had been buried by
some of the relatives of the convict
who died. He was allowed to hunt but
did not find the money.

to improve his product almost beyond the
possibility of detection.
Some months ago nine of the notes
found their way to the bank and were
stamped as dangerous counterfeits The
customary circular of warning was sent
out, describing the notes and the particu-
lars in which they differed from genuine
currency The man arrested the
charge of making and uttering these
notes is 40 years old and painter and
decorator by trade. BY years of study
he became an expert in photography,
color processes and engraving. He then
turned out first batch of 13 twenties,
all of which he passed in one day From
the circular sent out by the Imperial
bank he learned in wnat details these
notes We're faulty, and set about studying
the banks own processes. When arrested
he had made presses and plates for print
ing notes precisely as they are printed
by the Imperial bank. -Four of the first
10 notes are still in circulation.
Tribute to Woodrow Wilson
high tribute to President Wilson
! is paid by the Frankfort Gazette,
which, however, takes occasion to crit
| icise the American government Mex
lean policy. The paper declares that
"the place for this idealist is in po-
liticai life, and we should consider our
selves fortunate If We had at the head
of the German government an idealisJ
of such will power and progressive
tendencies"
German science has lately turned its
attention to mouse killing. and an eff
fective method of eXterminating the
rodents by exploding bombs in their
holes is the result. The country is just
now suffering from something like an
Egyptian plague of mice, and the scien-
tific men long have been trying to
| find means of killing the pests by
a 10 nm oh 1ntf1i CT hac II Jic-
covered a method of using with safety
| bisulphide of carbon, a gas which pois-
ons small life. Capsules containing the
| elements of the gas and a little ex-
| plosive cartridge are lowered into the
burrows of the mice, all the entrances
are stopped with earth, the capsule is
exploded and the gas generated per-
meates all parts of the holes, killing
every inmate The process is swift, re-
quires little labor and is cheap.

The five metropolitan counties, Essex

it is another remarkable fact that the pro-
portion of native Londoners has risen
at each successive census since 1881. AT
the same time the rate of growth of the
population of London has steadily de-
clined. Foreigners of all nationalities in
London number 159, 12S, more than hall

diary of the trade between Russia AMI
the United States.
Most of Russia's imports from Amer
lea are first sent to Hamburg and
Bremen, whence they are transshipped
to Riga and st. Petersburg. Another
step toward disp1acing Germany as
point of transit for this commerce is
seen in a projected steamship line con-
nection between Gothenburg, Sweden
and Harwich, England. According to
reports from Stockholm, the purpose of
this new line is to divert, in part, Rus
sian trade with western Europe ami
the United States to the route through
Sweden, for which favorable through
rates over tr< Finish and Russian
railways will be arranged.
In another direction. too, there is
prospect that Germany's trade relations
with Russia may become disturbed.
Every year about 225, 900 Polish labor
ers leave Russia to take summer work
on German farms, returning to their
homes at the end of the season. Re
Gently a Russian commission came to
Germany with the ostensible purpose
of studying the economic situation of
these laborers. In the German press.
however, it Is asserted that the real
object of the Russian government is
to prepare the way for prohibiting this
temporary emigration of laborers, un-
less the German government makes big
concession to Russia in the forthcom-
ing negotiations for a new commercial
treaty.
Clever COunterfeiter Arrested
The Berlin police have just arrested a
remarkable counterfeiter, barely in time
to prevent the circulation of 20-mark
notes Approximately equal in value to an
American So bib printed by the same
processes used in the Imperial bank,
and so perfect that only an expert with
a microscope could have detected them.
So clever was the counterfeiter that he
had taken advantage of suggestions, In

thorites against his first batch of notes,

Berlin, December 13-The Bavarian
people will pay well for the luxury OF
being ruled by a real King. Under the
81 year regency which has just come
to an end they paid Ludwig, as prime
regent, $4,000 year; as King he will
cost them $1.5OO,O00 every IL months.
This sum includes certain comfort
able allowances to the new Kings
sons and daughters, who up to the
present time have received nothing
from the public treasury. Now Crown
Prince Rupprecht will get $98,500
year; Prince Franz, brother-in-law of
the new American Duchess of Croy,
who was Miss Nancy Leishman, gets
$4,000; Prince Karl, who Is unmar-
ried, $4,000, and the five princesses
Adelgrunde, Hildegarde, Wiltrud
Helmtrudis and Gundelinde, $1,000 each
other expenses upon the new civil
list bring the total cost of maintaining
the royal family, exclusive of the
amount spent on the insane King o.
to, to s1,716,434, or about 25 cents per
head of the Bavarian population per
Year Prussians have to pay per capita
for their royalty only half as much
The incomes of the new royalties
will be supplemented by the revenues
from the private fortunes of the Wit
telsbach house, which, in spite of the
great sums spent by the mad King
Ludwig III in castle and theatre build
ings and in beautifying the city of
Munich, are still immense.
