Walker's friends will regret to learn that he has been quite ill for the past two weeks, but will be glad to learn he is able to sit up some now. Mrs. W. A. Mayhew, of Pitts burgh, Pa., is in Lakeland for the remainder of the winter and has rooms at the home of Mrs. . B. Morse. A pool room and barber shop is to be opened in the Rayvmondo block, in the room recently occupied by the American State bank. Mr. K. H. Garland will conduct the pool room and Mr. Grigsby the barber shop. Mr. E. A:. Snowden, is enjoying a visit from his brother, Mr. J. K.

He was pleased to see the sheriff, with whom he was well acquainted, but objected considerably to going back to Illinois, declaring he does not want to leave Florida—which shows the gentleman to be pretty sensible after all. | Manager Green has already start- ed booking his shows for next sea- son ang by the looks of his list of attractions Lakeland is going to get the best on the road. Among the shows he has booked are ‘‘Stop, Thief,” with Bert Leigh and Hazel Burgess, ‘‘Believe Me, musical comedy. Special Pullman car and a lady orchestra. Geo M. Cohan’s “Broadway Jones,” “The Prince of Tonight,” musical comedy, 38 peo- ple; “The Virginian,’ *“Peg of my Heart,"” “Primrose and Burgess Minstrels,” ‘‘Ready Money,” “The Yellow Ticket and Potash and Perl- mutter,” both the big hits in New York city this winter.

Trouble has broken out afresh in the matter of the dispute between Jewett & Moore and l.. M. Futch relative to the erations, and this morning Messrs. Jewett and Moore tore down a por- tion of the brick wall which had been placed on their land. Work- men are today replacing the wall and rustin: work on the building. Whether it will be remains to be Mr. Kelsey Diaaton, attorney for Jewett & DMoore, states that he wired today to Judge \WhLitney, ask- ing him to order operations suspend- ed until the judge could make per- sonal investigation or appoint special master to make such an in- vestigation. ‘“We have always of- fered,” said Mr. Blanton, “to nego- tiate with Mr. Futch for the con- struction of a party starrway upon agaln torn down seey | the basis of the space and burden; of the stairway and upper structure being equally distributed between the property of the respective par- ties. If Jewett and Moore act upon my advice they will protect their property by every available means." Mr. J. F. Townsend, of the firm erecting the building, stated to the Telegram that the walls damaged by Messrs. Jewett & Moore would be promptly replaced. *“We are pro- ceeding in dmordanm with the rul- ing of the court,” declared Mr. Townsend, “and expect to (nmplcll- the building on that basis. | And thus the matter rests at this hour. afternoon Telegram office latter's building op- LAKELAND MET HER WATERLOD The unexpected happened—Lake- land at last for her Waterloo in the person oi\:pa basketball | players, the game night result- ing in the score of 37 to 14—not in Lakeland's favor. ) men will gladly furnish to parties s0 desiring any information on bas- ketball. They can give you full di- rections for any emergency that may arise during a game. Their only request is that questions be asked after a game. The execution referred to took place about 8 o'clock last evening. The only witnesses present were 108 people from dakeland and as many more from Tampa. These, too, refuse to talk till they have seen their lawyer. In the meantime, we give for the benefit of our readers, a few facts gleaned here and there. The game was the second of a series between Tampa and lLakeland for the State championship. The first was won by Lakeland on her own court, hence this last game only evens the series. Immediately fol- lowing the game last night, Lake- land’s manager challenged Tampa's manager for the third and deciding game. Tampa refused the chal- lenge, except on condition that the game be called in the Tampa Y. M. o Al now Lakeland would not gcrant this concession, but offered to toss the coin to see where the would lbo played. Again Tampa refused.

There will be feasting and musie, the expression of tender memories of the old home, and of pride and hope for the new, such as have made up the program of the two previous celebrations of Illinofs Day, and the general public is invited to come and hear the music and the speeches.
