AMERICA WILL INSIST

DEFINITELY RECALL
DR.. DUMBA
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Sept. 25-United
States Ambassador Penfield at Vienna
has been instructed to make clear to
the AustroHungarian government
the United States must insist upon
the recall of the Austrian ambassa-
dor to this country, DIR. Dumba. His
departure on ga leave of absence" is
not satisfactory, as it would leave him
still accredited. Messages received by
the state department from Ambas-
sador Penfeld indicate that Austria
misunderstands the United States
wishes, as it is intimated that Austria
might recall DR.. Dumba on leave and
desires his safe conduct. DR.. Dumba
notified the state department later
and asked for safe conduct. Nothing
has been done yet.

MR.. sHUEY's GRIsT MILL

Mr.. George Shuey is nearly ready
to start up his grist mill on the cor
ner of his residence lot on North
Lime street, near the Seaboard
tracks. Mr.. Shuey has built a sub
stantial building for his mill and has
installed the latest and best machin-
cry, with a big electric motor to
operate it. Mr.. Shuey has a corn
shelter, a feed grinder that will grind
anything including corn on the corn.
He has a feed mixer, mill for grind
ing hominy or "grits" and an improv-
ed meal grinder with imported rock
mill-stones. This mill has an at
tachment which blows a current of
cold air between the stones all the
time to keep them cool while grind
ing. 1t has a chaff remover and a
bolter or sitter, so that the bran is all
removed from the meal, is desired.
Mr.. Shuey will operate his mill every
day, when ready, which will be by
next Monday, and expects to be kept
quite busy. The big corn crop Of
Marion county has certainly develop
ed the grinding of the product in
Ocala in a hurry.

wOODMEN MEETING
Fort King Camp Will Form a Degree
Team

Fort King Camp, w. o. W., met
and though the attendance was not as
large as might have been expected,
an excellent meeting was held. Fol-
lowing the business session the camp
introduced three candidates into the
mysteries of the order. Although they
found the thickets and byways of the
forest numerous and very hazardous
to traverse, all of them successfully
penetrated it. The candidates in
structed in the work at last evenings
session were ]. d. Wilkes, Charles
Mills and E. c. Green.
Several members of the Reddick
camp were guests of the local lodge.
Since the weather is growing cooler
the officers of Fort King Camp look
forward to having a larger attendance
at these semi-monthly sessions.
A movement was started to form a
degree team. Several attempts to
make up a team have started and
stopped, but it is believed this one
will be success. The committee to
work on the team consists of Chas.
E Harris, chairman, d. E. Busler and
]. d. Wilkes, and they intend to hus-
tie the other members into line.
The next meeting of the camp will
be held on Friday October 8, and it
is hoped that each member will make
an especial effort to attend.

NEGRO BURGLAR
KILLED AT SUMMERFIELD

A negro by the name of Joshua
was killed at Summerfield last night,
or rather before daylight this morn
ing, in the store of H. J. Wall 10 Son.
Some one had been breaking into and
stealing things out of the store, and
the proprietors determined to put a
stop to it. Last night it was agreed
that one of the firm remain on watch
in the rear of the store until mid
night, when he would be relieved by
the other. Shortly after the morn
ing watch, four negro men, who aft
erwards proved to be the four Joshua
brothers, entered the store and when
all were inside and helping them
selves to the stock, Mr.. J. L. Wall
ordered them to throw up their hands
and surrender. A break was made
for liberty and Mr.. Wall fired, killing
one of the brothers. One escaped and
he captured two others, Solomon and
Watley Joshua, who were brought to
town this morning. An affidavit was
made against them by Mr.. Wall and
they were locked up to await hear
ing.

CAsodahd Psg

London, Sept. 25.-The Russian po-
sition from Wilma to the Galician
frontier appears to be greatly i'm
proved. Three distinct victories are
recorded at widely scattered points.
This mitigates the uneasiness felt
here regarding the Bulgarian atti-
tude.
The situation far north is less fav-
orable. The Russians are resisting
Hindenburg's men stubbornly, but
their admission that fighting is pro-
ceeding at Smislin, three miles from
Novo Alexandrovsk, indicates the
approaches of the latter town are in
German hands.
The fate of Dvinsk is in doubt.
East of Wilma, north of Pinsk and in
the vicinity of Lutsk, the Russians
scored heavily The Germans call
the reverses east of Wilma temporary
in character, Notwithstanding losses
in guns and prisoners.
Near Pinsk MacKensen was thrown
back in an engagement that has
shaken his grip on the city. Farther
south the Russians holding Lutsk are
pressing their advantage and seem to
be assuming the dominancy on the
southern end of the line, in a manner
recalling the fighting of last spring.

Without any advertising whatever
the company is receiving orders for
"Phoslime" and ground limestone

months of operation to fill the orders

the first of the week was for q car

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the noted

is certainly a good recommendation
for this material. Another order re-
