DEATH OF COL. DAVIS.

A Former Montgomery County Citizen Passes Away in Florida.

St Petersburg (Fla Sub-Peninsula: At 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon Col. William J. Davis died at his residence on Fifth avenue in this city from chronic kidney troubles, with which he had been suffering for some time. His ailment had only assumed an alarming phase a few days ago, having only necessitated his confinement in bed from Sunday last. At sunrise Tuesday morning he began to show signs of sinking and from that time until an hour after noon he continued to lose ground, when shortly after 1 o'clock the end came without apparent pain.

Col. Davis was 03 years and six days old when death came, and had been a resident of St. Petersburg for about eight years. He was a native of CrawfcirdBville, Ind,, where hia father was a prominent Baptist minister and had during his ministry in the west became quite noted as an eloquent preacher.

Col. Davis, after leaving his native place, engaged in business purtuits in New \ork, Richmond and Charlotte, N. C. At the latter place he conducted a large mercantile establishment for six years, in which he amassed a fortune. He moved to Florida from Charlotte After a visit of one season to St. Petersburg he became very much pleased with the place and the next year returned and located permanently. He at once became a purchaser of property here and at the time of his death was one of the largest property owners in the city. He, a couple of years ago, became interested in growing pineapples and associating with him his brother-in-law, Mr. J. C. Heard under the firm name of J. Heard & Co invested in a tract of laud about two miles south of town, shedded it and set it in plants which are now yielding a handsome income. This pinery the late Colonel Davis took especial pride in and took great interest in showing it to friends.

On Saturday last only a few hours before he was taken with his lasi illness he had made a generous proposition to the city to donate a valuable piece of land on the bay front for public park purposes. He was at the time of his death a large stockholder in the Citizens' National Bank of Tampa and vice-president of tLat institution. He was for a number of years connected with the well-known hat firm of H. J. Harding & Co., of New York. Ool. Davis' near relatives who survive him area wife, mother, daughter and one sister. The remains were embalmed by Undertaker Bussey, of this city.

The funeral services took place this afternoon at 1 o'clock at the family residence on Fifth avenue. The parlor, in which room the services were conducted, had been most tastefully arranged with a profusion of appropriate flowers by admiring friends whose thoughtfulness had also banked the casket in white blossoms and buds. Rev. J. W. Heard, pastor of the Methodist church of this city, officiated and preached a touchingly appropriate sermon.

The ball bearers were: Messrs. John Trice, C. E. Allen, W. B, Gray and John Savarese, of Tampa, L. Y. Jenuess, W. N Ireland, J. F. Harrison and Cyrus W. Butler, of St. Petersburg.

Immediately after the services at the house the remains were conveyed to Greenwood cemetery, where the interment took place in the presence of a large number of friends.

Arthur Voliva Captured.

Lafayette Call: Sheriff Robert Miller, of Covington, arrived in the city this morning and conveyed Arthur Voliva to Covington, where he is to be tried for forging a check on the bank for $250. The authorities have been chasing Voliva ever 6ince the forgery was committed. They traced him to Urbana and Chicago and thence to Elwood, where they lost track of him Voliva was captured at the Wabash depot yesterday by Offiier Elliot. Before being turned over to the Covington authorities the prisoner was photographed and measured according to the Bertillion system The accused is a lawyer by profession. 40

Interment at Oak Hill. Mr. Enocu leaves a wife, formerly Miss Flora Gray. He will be remembered by many of our citizens as a good neighbor, a kind husband and a jovial, whole-hearted man who made friends wherever he went.

Costly Fussing.

OnWednesday Frank Newlin and McClellan Warren were before the mayor charged with causing trouble, Newlin with provoke and Warren with assault. WarrGll pleaded guilty and was fined and Newlin will stand trial. The trouble originated IB is said in the fact that Warren is jealouB of attentions paid his wife by Newlin.

W.J. DAVIS' WILL-

He Disposes of His Property to His Various Relatives aud Friends.

W. T. Whittington, Mrs. Eva Oglesby, of Brown's Valley, and Mrs. W. J. Davis arrived last Tuesday from St. Petersburg, Fla., where they attended the funeral of W. J. Davis last week. Mr. Davis will be remembered as at one time a leading citizen of this county, being a member of the firm of Davis & Hanna, of Waveland. He was a broad minded and progressive man and after leaving Indiana he made a success of business in the south. He leaves an estate appraised at 8125,000, 803,000 of which is in personal property. He left a will disposing of his estate as follows:

To his daughter, Mrs. Charles Oglesby, of Brown's Valley, 810,000. To his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, of this city, an income of 830 per month.

T. Whittington and the Bank and Trust Company of Tampa are named as executors. Mr. Davis was the largest stockholder in the company which with Mr. Whittington will administer the estate.

Crop Conditions.

The Indiana weekly cropnbulletin issued Tuesday, is as follows: "In general, warm, dry weather, prevailed, with scattered showers in only a few localities, and corn, potatoes and other growing crops need rain in many fields. Corn grew slowly. It is in silk and tassel, and promises a good yield. Tobacco is ^doing well some has been topped. Potatoes, cabbages, large fields of ttomatoes and vegetables, in general, are in good condition and promise well. The digging of early potatoes continues the yield is good. Millet and seed clover grew rapidly but need rain in moet fields to insure good crops. '•Fruit promises well. Apples are still dropping off, but a good crop remains. Threshing continues wheat threshing is ended in most southern localities. In some fields the yield both in quality and quantity, has been good,but in many other fields the yield has been bad. Rye and barley are good crops. Oat threshing is ended in some of the southern counties, with good results. In the most northern counties the harvest haB only just begun. "Great crops of hay have been secured, but there was much white top in the clover fields timothy haying is done in most fields. Pasturage is getting dry and needs rain in some localities. Plowing for winter wheat began and progressed well. Live stock is in good condition hog cholera prevails in a few localities."

A Cheeky Juror.

J. C. Long was arraigned in Justice Long's court at Ladoga Saturday for contempt of court. Long had been sworn as one of the jurors to try the 'Squire Wright dog case and adjourned for dinner with instructions by the court to return at 1 o'clock, at which time he did not retnrn, but drove to the country and did not return for two days. The 'Squire, not wishing to make a precedent of that kind, issued an order for Mr. Long to appear before him and give his reasons, if any he had, why he should not be punished for said contempc. One should remember that the law is very strict in a case of that kind and Mr. Long may thank his stars that it was not in the circuit court, as he would have done well to get off with a fine of 850.

Hard to IClll.

Wednesday in fiont of the court house Mrs. Collett Darter, while drlving quite rapidly, ran over Master George Hoffa, a serenely dirty cherub about five or six years old. The hind wueol passed over the lad's neck and ears, but after the incident ho arose with dignity and climbed the court house fence to lie down in the shade for contemplation. Beyond a very red mark over the neck and a scarlet ear, the child caemed none the worse for his experience.

A Tine Monument.

The family of the late J. N. Davidson has purchased a fine stone to mark his final resting place. The monument is to be of solid dark Barre granite, elaborately and handsomely carved and will be one of the most artistically designed of any in Oak Hill cemetery.

[LETTER TO MRS. PINKRAV NO. 78,465]

"I was a sufferer from female weakness. Every month regularly as the menses came, I suffered dreadful pains in uterus, ovaries were affected and had leucorrhoea.

PERIODS OF SUFFERING GIVE PLACE TO PERIODS OF JOY

I had my children very fast and it left me very weak. A year ago I was taken with flooding and almost

died. The doctor even gave me up and wonders liow I ever lived. I wrote for Mrs. Pinkham's advice at Lynn, Mass., and took her medicine and began to get well. I took several bottles of the Compound and used the Sanative Wash, and can truly say that I am cured. You would hardly know me, I am feeling and looking so well. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me what 1 am."—MRS. J. F. STUETCII, 401 MECHANIC ST., CAMDEN, N. J.

:V How Mrs. Brown Was Ilclpcd.

"I must tell you that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done more for me than any doctor. "I was troubled with irregular menstruation. Last summer I began the use of your Vegetable Compound, and after taking two bottles, I have been regular every month since. I recommend your medicine to all."— MRS. MAGGIE A. BIIOWN, WEST FT.

THE BIG FOUR PICNIC.

It In the Kiggeat, Allalr of tlio Kind Ever Held in This City,

Several years ago the employes of the Peoria division of the Big Four picnicked in this city but that affair was hardly a marker to the picnic of Wednesday,that of the employes of the Cincinnati. It had been advertised that four or five thousand people would be here but hardly anyone here thought that these figures would be approached. They have been, however, as forty-eight hundred people arrived here on Wednesday without accident or incident, coming in from the east and west on three sections. The first section arrived promptly on scheduled time and was composed of eleven coaches besides baggage cars. Each car was loaded down to the steps, the people being packed in like sardines. The second section had thirteen cars and the last section was as large, all being packed. Everyone was in high good humor, however, and the great majority repaired at once to the fair grounds where everything was in readiness to receive them. The grounds were clean and beautiful and the guests were greatly pleased with their picnic ground. Hundreds simply stretched out at full length on the grass and luxuriated. Others more lively frisked about among the trees and had a good time "in the woodB." Floral hall had been fitted up as a dance hall, and it made a good one, too, the floor being constantly crowded.

NOTES.

There were thirty-seven coaches loaded to the trucks came in. All the excursionists were delighted with Crawfordsville and with the fair

grounds. The excursionists came from as far east as Cincinnati and as far west as Kankakee.

The Big Store band furnished the music for the occasion and did its work to the satisfaction of all.

A large number of country people came in to attend the picnic and there were over 0,000 people on the grounds.

The picnickers were allwell dressed, intelligent and orderly people and its personnel is as excellent as that of any church picnic that ever struck the town

Mi &

the toniest

dance ever held on the fairgrounds by all odds, being at striking variance with the "hey rube" dance of fair times. Beiser's orchestra, of Indianapolis, with harp, violins, bass viol and drum, furnished the inspiration and the figures were called by an adept. The hall was reasonably cool, considering the oppressive nature of the day, and all those who took part in the dancing had a fine time. The fun there was continued without intermission all day. Many of the picnickers visitod the town and some hardly went to the grounds, the young men and women especially visiting the various sights about town. Hundreds visited Gen. Wallace's place and many more visited the college, which was open for inspection.
