vacant lot in the rear of the pretty
new Harrington Hall hotel, abutting

THE MENTAL ANGUISH BILL

Speaking of this now famous bill
the Tallahassee correspondent of the
Lakeland Telegram says:
BY an unanimous vote the mental
anguish bill passed the house, after
the adoption of a slight amendment
which was agreed to by Stokes, who
was in the house chamber directing
operations there
The bill was certified to the senate
amid the applause by members direct
ed by mods and shakes of Stokes
head Floyd made all motions neces-
sary to waive the rules and rush the
bill through
The vice president of the Western
Union arrives from New York tonight
but the house refused to wait until
he could be heard.
The bill had been lost, but was
again found. The public printer had
returned the mental anguish meas
ure to the senate, because it had been
introduced in the house, in a senate
back, which is yellow, while the house
bill backs are blue. The Western
Union was accused on the floor of dis
posing OF it by hints of Farris and
others. but when it was found no apOl-
ogy was forthcoming.

says:
"a re-opening of the cases of Cadets
Freeland, Christian, Sasse and Simp-
kins, who were dismissed from West
Point military academy over a year

has begun early at West Point. The
defense of the boys declares that they
were dismissed by a mistake in the
law, and according to the rule which
has been observed since the academy
was established, should be allowed to
return.
THE re-opening is the result of a
long single-handed fight by Miss Sa-
rah Freeland of Jacksonville, Fla, Ca
Diet Freeland's sister, who appealed to
congress to pass bill re-opening the
case. This bill was passed at the last
session of congress, and by its virtue
the case was re-opened."

MAN A STRANGER IN THE UNI
VERSE

Dr. Frank Crar- says that man is
truly strange in the universal
stranger in strange land"
All creatures are more at home in
the world than the human creature.
We have even no place to live. Rats,
snakes, muskrats and all the fishes of
the sea find in nature places suitable
for their habitation; we must build
houses of wood and brick. THE birds
Of the air have nests, and the foxes
have holes, but the sons of men have
nowhere to lay their heads"
There is suitable food for all but
our race. The OK and the horse crop
the grass, the giraffe nibbles the tree
tops, and the rabbit gnaWs the under
shrubs, every animal creature sits at
the board of mother nature and is
served with food now ready" but
men and women must build fires,
grind grain and cook, bake, boil and
roast, in order to live. The man-being
is born into the world without even
dog hair or sheep fleece to cover his
shivering nakedness. Up to adulthood
he is the most helpless of animals A
chick steps out of its she'll and pro-
ceeds at once to scratch for worms.
the lizard leaps from its egg and
scampers about as lively as it's moth
er, while man, proud man, has to be
fed on spoon victuals and carried in
a perambulatOr for some years.
Go out into the wood and see how
much of a stranger you are. The birds
fly away at your approach, uttering
terrified notes; the bear runs from
you, or if he comes toward you it is
to kill you; snakes, grasshOppers,
toads and rabbits flee in panic from
your path; the squirrels bound from
you and eye you fearsomely from the
tree. You are an intruder. Only
few animals, the domesticated, toler
ate you. Only one, the dog, really
cares for you.
Look at the creatures of the sea;
how strange, non-human they are.
From all that vast life of water-crea-
lures you are utterly shut out.
Contemplate, through microscope,
the infinite microbe-world Even to
the small things that enter your body
and work in your blood you are an
outsider. You watch them through a
lens as you watch the stars of heaven
through a lens; and the stars also
are going about their own business,
which is no business of yours.
Volcanoes destroy cities, earth
quakes swallow them up, tidal waves
engulf them. There is no heart in
fire, no pity in the tornado, no mercy
in the Ocean. The sun will burn you
in the desert, the snow and sleet will
freeze you in the western plains, and
all your cries and prayers to them will
fall upon deaf ears.

LEAGUE OF PRODUCERS
Enthusiastic Meeting Held in Com
mercial Club Rooms Last Sat
uHday Evening.

The Producers Development
League held its meeting as adver-
tised in the Commercial Club rooms
Saturday night. The meeting was
quite well attended but should have
had a much larger hearing of the
ranchers of this vicinity The meet
ing was a regular business session of
the league at which various reports
were read-as well as stirring talk
by Professor Reimer of the Expert
ment Farm at Talent.
The committee appointed some
weeks ago to look up the matter of
purchasing dairy cows and increasing
the dairy business of this locality
reported that they found it possible
to do but little until they discovered
how many and whate grade of COWS
were wanted by the small ranchers.
With commendable zeal the league
adopted its committees recommends
tion that man be employed to can
vass the community at the leagues
expense, and gather this information.
This is certainly a fine idea and
should result in creating a great deal
of interest in the dairy business.
The leagues committee on the
proposition to establish a public mar
ket in Ashland reported progress. 1t
mas conferred with the committee
from the City Council and agreed to
give the leagues hearty support to
a market if the city will start one,
commencing early next year. For the
reason that much produce needed for
the successful conduct of a public
market must be provided for now,
the committee was continued and ad-
vised to keep in touch with the City
Council committee with view to as
suring the establishment of the mar
ket next year.
Professor Reimer was scheduled
to speak on vetch, but after listen
ing to the interesting talks on the
dairy question he took up that ques-
tion and brought out some very i'm
portant points-dealing also with the
question Of fertilization of land in
cident to the keeping of dairy cat
tie. His talk was a plain matter Of
fact discussion readily understood by
those present and was undoubtedly
of great benefit. He also dwelt on
the subject of seed corn and the pro-
ducing of vetch and other forage
crops. l,.-
