That New County Talk.

Of course all our reaGers are more
or less familiar with the purpose of
some of our neighbors over near UaW-
thorne in Alachua county, who for
political and business reasons to say
nothing of personal ambition, are
moving to erect a new county out of
some slices of territory which they
propose to take from Putnam, Ala
chua, Clay and Bradford counties. The
parties most at interest have advcr-
tlsed their purpose to go before the
legislature and ask its sanction to
the formation of this new county to
be called Santa Fe (pretty name, isn't
it, and of which Melrose is designated
as the TEMPORARY county seat.
Sounds pretty, but-what about
the people in this county who under
the new arrangement would find them
selves in the new? Well, The New
has seen several Of them and they de-
clare the movement is not only with
out their sanction, but that it meets
their earnest DlSAPPROVAL. There
is County Commissioner Perry, for
instance. He says the people in his
section are agin' the move; that they
like Putnam county and want to stay
in it. William Price, also of the same
section, says he is satisfied and
doesn't propose to say goodbye to
his old associations without a vigor-
GUS protest.
And it is the purpose of the people
in the proposed new Santa Fe dis
trict to make protest, and a vigor-
GUS one.

This is the title of the fantasy that

1t wouldn't do to tell how it is done
for there would be no surprise in see

stage manager has as yet solved the
problem of the many difficult illus
ionary features of the performance.
1t was presented last year in Berlin
and Paris and ran for one whole year
at the Egyptian Hall, London. In its
treatment, cOstuming, talk. mysticism
and fascination, it is the dainticat H.

OTTAWA. Dec. 13-Reports have been received from outpost stations of the Northwest mounted police which state that rumors have been received in regard to the Karluk which tend to show that the explorer Steffansson was not left on the ice by accident when the Karluk went out. but tha; he was deliberately deserted by the men on the ship who sailed her away with the intention of leaving their commander to perish in the ice.
 This information is only rumor and the details are so meagrc as not to warrant belief until fuller reports are received either confirming or deny ing it.
 The story says that there were dis centions among the crew and that Sseffansson was arbitrary and domi- neering and that there WIS practically a mutiny before the commander was deserted.

The position of the gunhoat herself is not without danger of tn" shells from the federal ships as well as in the line of fire of some of the rebel batteries.

 WASHINGTON, Dec l3.-The mii- tarl committee of the House is con sidering the establishment of con ccntrated army post on American lake in the state of Washington.
 This move. if 1t becomes a fact, will be carrying out the recommendations of all military men that the army r sts he enlarged and that instead of useless little two and three company stations tho troops hc gathered to gcthcr in sufficiently largr numbers tn permit of some instruction in bodies la,rrr than companies.
 There has always been great oppo sition in congress to the abandoning of the smaller posts in favor of the much desired brigade posts and this ol position comes from barely selfish personal reasons and not from any patriotic desire on the part of the Iep islatOrs to benefit the country or the military service.
 It is admitted even by the oppon ents of concentration that it is the only proper way in which to provide for the training of the army. but the reasons given for retaining the smaller pests. while not so patriotic. seem suf- ficient to the politicians whose jobs depend on getting all they can for simply that the maintaining of these small posts bring considerable money into the localities where they are locat : cd and to take them away. while 1t
