WILL CONSTRUCT
WATER SYSTEFi.
The Palatka Board of Bond Trus
tees held an important meeting on
Monday with all the members pres
ent. The matter of bonds voted for
water works was informally dis
cussed and it was decided to sell, all
that remained of this issue at once.
A resolution was introduced and
unanimously passed to the effect
"that the balance of the water works
bonds be sold at once and that the
board proceed immediately to con
struct a city water system."
The News learns that a large
amount of the water bonds have al
ready been sold.
The city sewer system is now near
ly completed, leaving the streets in
a badly torn up condition. There is
a strong sentiment in favor of paving
certain streets as soon as practicable,
and the bond trustees feel that the
water service should be laid while
the streets are torn up and before
any paving is done. Hence the res
olution for an immediate construc
tion of the water system.

not customary to leave money in the
office at night, but the ticket seller
argued that witli two watchmen on
duty it would be safe, and he didn't
like to lug so much weight.
The robbers got away and so far
there Is no trace of them.
STATE. NEWS IN TABLOI D
The Avery Jim Crow street car
law has been declared unconstitu

ville Circuit Court in chambers. The
part of the law declared to be uncon

its adjournment for the summer.

convicted of a murderous assault on
Congressman W. B. Lamar, has

mercy.
The State Board of Education anil
the State Board of Contra! held a
joint meeting in Governor Broward's
office last Monday and established
the state school of Tectinoiogy at
Lake City. The joint, hoards also
appointed ft board of trustees for the
new state school and turned over to
this boar,d a lot of the old state uni
versity property and equipment at
Lake City, "in hen of the $16,000," so
the report says, "provided for by the
Kuckmau bill, to be use for the es
tablishment of a technological insti
tute at Lake City." As the Buck
man bill provides for the establish
ment of no such institute, there is
going to be a strong demand in all
parts of the state for some explana
tions from the governor's office.
Technologically speaking this last
move has the appearance of graft.

F. H. HAFER HAS
PARALYTIC STROKE
Frank H. Hater, the well-known
real estate dealer and promoter of
this city, has been in a comatose
state since lust Sunday night, at
which time, during the temporary
absence of his family, he suffered a
stroke of paralysis.
The stroke was a most severe one
and has affected the eutire right
side. The muscles of the face, how
ever, do not seem drawn and Mr.
Hafer has the appearance of one
asleep. Since the discovery of his
condition on the return of Mrs. Hafer
on S mday evening, the patient has
been wholly unconscious. The chanc
es of his recovery are not the best
though there is strong hope that he
may rally.
"This." said Dr. A. M. Steen, the
attending physician, "is reallv Mr.
Hafer's third stroke the third to
which I have been called. The first '
was not serious, and yet it was un
mistakably such and a wanting
which we heeded. The second was
quite severe and for a time Mr. Ha
fer was slightly crippled in speech
and muscular movements. Since
that time several months airo he had
concluded to give up active business
and for some time he has appeared
to oe improving so mat rew could
notice any difference except per
haps a slight falling off in weight
in his appearance. This last stroke
is severe, but there is ground for
hope."
Mr. Hafer has had much to do
with bringing settlers to Florida.
During his residence of several years
in Palatka lie has promoted several
schemes and has induced manv set-
tiers to come to this section. He is
perhaps one of the best posted men
in rne Hrare on I" loriua land values.
He has always had implicit confi
dence in the future agricultural pros
perity oi uiestate anu as an evidence
of Ll.iit confidence is the nossessor of
thousands of acres of idle lands in
this county. His illness is a source
of griel to his hosts of friends.
Murderous Assault.
Furnev Brooks, liviuir three miles
west of Palatka, shot his son-in-law,
Calhoun Gatliu, witli a Winchester
ri fie between and 10 o'clock yester
day morning. The ball entered Gat
liu's shoulder inflicting a painful but
not serious wound. Dr. Steen dress
ed the wound and the young man
has gone to his parent's home at Bost
wick. Brooks is in lail on a charge
of assault with intent to murder.
Brooks claims that Gatlin whipped
and otherwise abused his daughter,
to whomJie was married on the 22d
of last month. He also claims that
he ordered his son-in-law off the
place for this reason yesterday morn
ing. The shooting took place in front of
the Wyles school house, after Gatlin
had left the Brooks home, and it is
claimed that Brooks followed Gatliu
up and brought about the trouble.
The new freight depot of the S. A.
L. R'y. at Tampa was badly dam
aged by Are last Monday ri,'ht. The
new pipe organ for the Catholic Ca
thedral was among the damaged
freight.
Oue Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.
The average man does not save to ex
ceed ten per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars In living ex
penses for every dollar saved. That be
ing the case he cannot be too careful
about unnecessary expenses. Very of
ten a few ceuts properly invested, like
buying seeds for his garden, will save
several dollars outlay later on. It Is
the same In buying Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It
eosts but a f-w cents, and a bottle of it
in the house often eaves a doctor's bill
of several dollars. For sale by Acker
man & Stewart.
