wheat Growers Holding Back

In the third week OF July Chicago
St Louis and Kansas City received
1888 cars Of winter wheat. This
compares with about thousand cars
in the same wee klast year and 2,554
cars in the same week two years ago.
An enormous volume of wheat will
be on the move from now until the
first Of the winter unless the prices
should go too low. At the present
there is a good demand on export,
milling and elevator accounts, The
goyernmenet figures estimate this

and winter at $40 million bushels,
the largest crop ever produced. but
since that estimate was announced

weeks, but who is now able to sit up
and write, in letter to. the Star,
thanks his friends and praises the hos
pital as follows:
Affections though they seem se-

other way, however, could / have
known the esteem of friends, never
before has the hand of affection held
me in room and bed for four long
weeks of dark and dreary weather. To
the Star and force, to those in city
and country who have been so kind
and solicitious about my welfare, and
the kind ladies who sent in flowers to
give me the blessed assurance of the
resurrection of the dead for which the
lovely flower stands to humanity as
an everlasting emblem. hereby ten
der in this humble way my heartfelt
thanks. 1t now appears as though
will be able to be up and out again in
few days to come. / would do an
injustice to my feelings not to men
ton the kindly interest taken in me
by Drs. Dozier and Lindner, and the
very efficient management at our city
hospital. Never can mortal man be
treated with more tender and con-
slant care than I was, for which 1
feel SO thankful. Mr.. Editor, want
to see our hospital supported by an
advalorem tax upon our property.
Lets prove our faith by our works,
and hold up their hands. With thanks
to all and gratitude to Him who rules

ing three have been docketed:

At Palatka next Monday there will
be held an important meeting of
prominent men, who will consider the
vital matter of improving Florida wa
terways. Among other things to con-
slider will be the great natural east
coast canal, which could be formed by
a short cut of three or four miles be-
tween the headwaters of the st. Johns
river at Lake Washington and the
Indian river near Eau Gallie. If this
cut was made, there would be nat
uraI system of boat canals, much of
it big enough for vessels of considera-
BILE size, all thru the eastern side of
peninsular Florida, and, as soon as
the Oklawaha improvement is made,
extending to the west coast via the
Withlacoochee. This would be of the
greatest value to all the people, par
ticularly to those of Ocala, whose
boats leaving Silver Springs could go
to Miami and Indian river points, as
well as TO Dunnellon, Port Inglis,
Crystal River and Cedar Keys. The
Star hopes Ocala will be well repre-
scented at the meeting.

ELECT OFFICERS

The insurance department of the
Knights of Pythias held a meeting
last night and elected officers for the
ensuing year. Mr.. Charles Goddard
resigned as secretary, which office he
has filled so acceptably. The newly
elected officers are:
Percy Perkins, president.
E. L. Stapp, vice president.
Chas. X. Sage, secretary
The insurance department of the
Knights of Pythias has large mem
bership in Ocala but not half as large
as it should have.

The great trouble about Editor
Straub, in this argument about guns,

els, he hasn't learned the difference,
