.THAW TO STAY IN T0MBS
At LEAST MONTH LONGER
Various Writs and Orders, Resulting
in Legal Tangle, to Keep Him
Out of Matteawan for Time.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-As result
of various writs and orders sworn out
in his behalf and the resultant legal
tangle, Harry Kendall Thaw Is in no
danger Of being returned to the State
Hospital for the Criminal Insane at
Matteawan for at least a month.
Supreme Court Justice Blur. signer
of two writs of habeas corpus in
Thaw's behalf. said today upon the
close Of a conference between himself,
counsel for Thaw, the sheriff of New
York county, the warden of the Tombs
prison and representatives Of the
state attorney generals office, that
Thaw's attorney could. by means OF Sc
curing adjournments, delay the final
hearing upon the first writ. secured
early last week. until April 10. John
B. Stanchf1eld. Thaw's chief counsel,
said he intended to make such moves.
Justice BLUR late last night signed
second writ of habeas corpus, bring
ing up the issue that Thaw's commit
ment to Matteawan Is illegal. The
first writ was designed to bring about
a test of Thaw's sanity. Both writs
were returned to Justice BLUR today.
Hearing on the first one he adjourned
until later today. to allow time for
service of an order of Justice Ingra-
ham of the appellate division of the
supreme court.
Other Writs Issued.
The second writ was referred to JUS
tice Alfred Page, before whom the trial
Of Thaw was recently conducted. This
writ, it was admitted. was simply a
technical move. AS Justice Page had
already ordered the return of Thaw to
Matteawan he was expected to prompt
ly dismiss the second writ.
Then the order OF Justice Ingraham. re-
quiring that Thaw be kept in the Tombs
until argument was heard upon the ap-
peal from Justice Pages decision, was to
be served.
After this, Justice Blur said he would
grant Thaw's attorney a week adjourn
ment upon writ No. l.. and at the end of
each week for the following two similar
adjournments would be granted.
In the meanwhile the appeal will have
como up on Friday next, and will prob
ably have been decided. Upon this ap-
peal depends decision Of the question
whether Thaw should be sent back to
New Hampshire or to Matteawan.

$4,000 or $4Oo, 900

The Saturday Evening Post o.
Sept. 18th carries a long story Of
the success of a merchant in al
Ohio town of 1900 people, which
every merchant should read. II
tells how to make a success OF a
mercantile business.
Some years ago when the father
turned the store over to his boys
he was doing an annual business
Iof $4,000 and barely eking out
an existence
Today "the boys" are doing an
annual business of 100000.
Father almost threw a fit when
the boys began to advertise and
told them it was a waste of money.
He said everybody thereabouts
knew him and what he had to sell
and it was sinful to pay out money
for advertising.
But the boys advertised con-
sistently and judiciously and to-
day they have the wonder store
of the United States.
1t is big enough to attract the
attention Of the Saturday Even
ing Post which gives its space in
that journal which would take
$2S, 900 in cash to buy at regular
advertising rates.
There is lesson in this story
for every merchant.

Keep Them Out

The winter season is coming on.
Last year buns, tramps and sol
diers of the road made Orlando a
mecca, a camping ground, and
petty thieving was in order for
many weeks. Houses were brok-
eeninto, hats and clothing were
stolen, shirts were grabbed from
,clothes-line wires, eatables were
lifted from back porches, and jew
,elry fell into the hands of float
ing class of disreputables. An
other winter season is at hand and
everybody should be on guard.
The police force during nights
should be heavily increased and
every bum, tramp, suspicious look
ing character or idler should be
.shooed out of the city with a
long blue barreled gun. The in
discriminate feeding of unworthy
derelietS should be stopped. Ev-
cry bum had his chance once and
because he failed to make good is
no reason why Orlando should
harbor such a man within the
gates.
The entire state should fall in
to line with Orlando. The float
ers should be kicked out of every
city along the North Florida
boundary line. If some are for
tunate to get into the states cru
.sade of kicking them farther down
the line should be commenced un-
til every bum is thrown into the
gulf to sink or swim. Nests of
midnight revelers should be sur
rounded by a sheriff and posse
and given one hour to move. If
the buns got to a town or city, a
marshal or chief of police should

produce man of Benton Harbor
Mich. Goldstein sold Snyder six
cars of peaches for which Snyder
gave two checks of $500 each. The
checks turned out to be no good,
as Snyder had insufficient funds
III the bank.
The Packers report concludes
"Snyder has no store of his
own, but has an office in the store
of Mark Owen & Co. 1t is under
stood that Owen handled his
goods for him on 5 per cent COM

ties with a number Of Florida to-
mato growers who shipped him
two or three cars of tomatoes
when he had a solicitor on the

getting accounting. Snyder had
advanced some money to a few of
the growers, but none of them got
very much out of the shipments;
the market was in bad shape atthe
time and Snyder claimed that he
had given them all he got out of

Biliousness"-A Southern Dis.
ease

| IN. C. Board of Health Bulletin. }
DR.. w. A. Evans tells the peo-
jple of the South what causes that
lazy, heavy feeling which they call
"biliousness," " torpid liver" or
"touch of malaria" and for it of
fers one or more safe remedies.
He says:
"The southern people eat too
much of starches and sugars. For
instance, at breakfast they will
have biscuits, wafies, and spoon
bread. They eat two or three
starchy foods at each meal. If
they will eat less food, especially
less starches and sweets, if they
will eat more fruit and more of
the cOarser articles of diet, and if
they will exercise more, they will
get bilious less often.
"When they get bilious and a
purgative is needed, a dose of
salts or a glass of purgative wa
ter, is about all that is needed.
Calomel is not a direct liver stim-
ulant. Indirectly, it stimulates
the liver by stimulating the in

idence that he is making a record
for the county that makes it stand
forth as among the most prosper
Gus counties in the state. 1t can
be said that the increase in valua-

than last, but there is no use to
give the reason, for every one is

from the shipments, and such re-

been sent merely to protect the
firm from prosecution. Some OF
the shippers have never yet heard
from their consignments, and
these might help to make 1t warm

PROPERTY VALUATIONS
INCREASED IN COUNTY

Concluded from first page)
ter OF road building in this coun.
ty, and it is the duty of the assess
or to note all this in making his
assessment and carefully he has
taken care of it. The districts are
divided as follows, and the a.

tricts as they appear:

$8.46O.OOO

The above figures are for the
county proper, and do not touch
on the educational department on
ly as the amount contains the
fund that is apportioned to the
school fund. 1t may prove inter
testing reading to give this to the
reader so that he can see that the
educational work has been taken
care OF as well by the assessor as
the other departments.
There are thirty-eight sub
school districts in DeSoto county.
There are nine Of these that are
designated as bonded districts.
y The general sub-district tax a.
mounts to $4,000, while the gen.
eral school fund amounts to $685.
241, which are the amounts that
are available ON the present
assessment rate. So that it can
be seen that the assessment fully
covers all that is required to pro-
Iperly conduct the educational af-
fairs Of the county. In this con-
nection there appears to be an a.
mount of only $1,000 outstand-
' ing against the sub district funds.
When one knows the value of the
properties in the various sub-dis-
tricts it is an easy matter for him
to see that the finances in this di-
rection are in good shape.
The work of the office of assess
or makes a flattering showing for
DeSoto county, and one that can
be handed to the outside world
with a feeling of confidence, and
lat the same time it gives every
citizen an opportunity to say to
the prospective settler that "you
need not fear to cast your lot with
