TO REPEAL THE LAW.
Secretary Of the Interior Would Stop
Timber Entry Frauds,

Washington, Oct. 6.-The serraetary
OF the interior is this winter to make a
special effort to have the timber and
stone act repealed. Under this act a
person: may take up land more valuable
for timber or stone than for agricul-
tural purposes on payment of $3.50 per
acre. The department of justice and
the agents of the land Office last year
investigated number of these entries
in Washington and alleged that they
were not made in good faith but that
the entryuien were figureheads for
eastern Iumbermen who finally got a
title TO vast tracts of valuable timber
lands for cong.
The secretary proposes to repeal the
Law which makes these frauds possible
and to have an act passed fixing GER
tain price for timber land, based on the
actual value Of the timber thereon. A
bill is now pending in congress meeting
the requirements Of the department.

How Wine Judges Keep sober.

If you. have ever gone into a wine
merchants office and sampled different
vintages, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
you will have observed that the dealer
never swallows the wine he puts into
his mouth, but holds it there for time
while he lightly breathes through his
nose. His palate tells him whether the
wine is rough or smooth but his sense
of smell detects its aroma and is large
ly depended on to determine its quality.
OF course it is the brain to which the
smell Is communicated that is really
instrumental in fixing values. and as
the effect on the brain is only mo-
mentary a great deal of wine may be
sampled in this way without ill eff
fects, but when the wine is permitted
to pass into the stomach the fumes
which arise from it continue to assail
the brain as long as the liquor remains
there in it's original state and if taken
in large quantities results in muddling
the brain.

FUNERAL OF T. r. WEsTRoPE.
Shelby county's Famous Breeder OF
Shorthorn Cattle Passes Away Sud-


Harlan, June 19.-The funeral of
Thomas r. Westrope, who died last
Saturday, was held Tuesday afternoon.
The announcement of his death came
as a great surprise to our cluzens as ne
had not been sick and there had been
hut about two hours warning OF ms
aproaching death He had retired at
about 10 o'clock apparently as well as
usual and shortly after was seized with
a violent cough, a physician was called
but could render no aid and death en-
sued from apoplexy. Deceased was
born in Morgan county, ILL.,, Sept. 2,
1925, and was therefore in his IIth
year at the time of his death. Up until
about year ago he had lived on one
of the best improved farms in this
county and enjoyed the distinction of
being one of the best known breeders
of shorthorn cattle in this or any other
state. For many years past until last
year his herd was on exhibition at the
state fairs, and won many sweepstakes
and when he closed out his herd in
Omaha little over a year ago tho

average price reached the high water
mark for that strain of cattle.
Mr. Westrope's parents removed from
Illinois to Lafayette county Wis, when
he was but four years OF age and that
was his home until 1871 tho he jour
peyed to California in 1S49 and again in
1884. In 1S4S he married Sarah Ann
Huntsman and to them were born thir-
teen children of whom nine are now
living. Mrs. Westrope died in April of
1886 and in July of last year he mar
ried Mrs. Marietta Gish, who survives
MIN.
Thomas r. Westrope was a man of
much force of character and during his
life time amassed a large fortune much
of which he has in recent years given to
his children but goodly amount still
remains to be disposed of according to
the terms of his Will When he re-
tired from the farm last year he built a
fine home in Harlan and has since built
two line houses to rent and still not
content to be idle and having faith in
Harlan's prosperity at the time of his
death he was engaged in erecting one
OF the finest brick blocks ever built in
Harlan. The funeral occurred from the
Nj. e. church in this place Tuesday af-
ternoon and was attended by large
concourse of people The business
houses were closed during the services.
Deceased had embraced the Christian
religion in February last and had been
a most earnest Christian since that
time. In his death Harlan and Shelby

tial and upright citizens

Salesman Prevents Half Million Steal

New York, June 19.-An attempt, in
to which abundant nerve had beer

best known retail jewelers. in Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn out of 100000 worth
of jewels was frustrated in Shippens-

ANXIOUS IO SETTLE
Mine Workers Leaders Hope to
Settle Strike Without Ma.
tional Suspension.
Convention Called Month
Hence in Order to Give
More Time.
Strike of All Miners Would Have
Serious Effect on the
Industries.
VOL. XVIII.

wIlkesbarre. Pa, June 19.-Now that
n call for a special national convention
has been made for Jhly 18th it is not
expected there viii be any very impor-
tant developments in the coal strike
situation until that time. 1t is not un-
likely, however, that some bituminous
districts will take action similar to that
of the central Pennsylvania district,
which last night decided to cut down
the soft coal production from that ter
ritory one-third. There is more soft
coal coming into the anthracite market
from that section than the labor lead
ers expected and they will make a spe-
cial effort to reduce the output. They
are handicapped in this effort to some
extent by the fact that not more than
two thirds of the $4,000 workers in the
district are organized.
A little dissatisfaction is expressed
by some of the strikers because the
date of the convention was set month
hence. They feel that something ought
to be done without waiting thirty days.
While leaders around strike headquar-
ters will not talk, 1t is believed the fix
ing of the date for July II was a wise
move. Partial curtailment of coal pro-
duction or even total suspension would
have serious effect on the business in
terests of the country, and it is hoped
during the next month some plan may
be devised by which such a state of af-
fairs can be avoided. Total suspension
of coal mining is practically impossible,
because the United Mine Workers or
ganization does not control all the
miners in the country.

as amended, passed the senate 81 to 6.

senate convened today at eleven i
was with the intention of beginning
voting on the Isthmian canal ques-
ton at two The conference report o.
the bill to prevent false branding o,
labelling food or dairy products wa:
agreed to. Consideration of the 18th
mian canal question was resumed anG
Spooner offered formally his amend
ment as a substitute for the pending
So called Hepburn Nicaragua cana
bill. Clark, of Montana, then spoke il
support of the Nicaragua route declar-
ing the Panama canal scheme hoodoo
which ought to be stunned and
avoided.
Allison explained why he should vote
for the Spooner substitute. He be-
lieved there was a general desire among
the American people for an Isthmian
canal and the people desired. too, that
the United States government should
construct and control the canal.
He pointed out that the eyes of the
American people have been directed
particularly toward the Nicaragua
route, because it was supposed that
as the French company had conces-
sions for the Panama route the United
States was barred from that route. AL
lison said it was proposed now to
build canal 35 feet deep and wide
enough and with a volume Of water
sufficient to float the largest ship
atioat. Minimum expenditure for the
construction of the canal, he believed,
would be more than $200,000.000. To
meet this enormous expenditure he
favored borrowing money and making
proper provision for liquidating the
principal and interest of bonds.
The first actual test on the Isthmian
proposition was on the amendment of
fered by Mitchell, of Oregon, giving
the president the choice of routes,
even IL he could secure title for the
Panama route. 1t was laid on the
table, AZ to 80.
The Spooner amendment was adopt
ed 40 to "a.
The senate then adopted the Fair
banks amendment for issuance of
bonds on the Isthmian canal, 81 to
Sc.
Morgan, chairman of the inter ocean
ic canal committee, at the conclusion Of
Allison's remarks, began his speech
closing the debate.
Morgan urged congress to determine
the question of route. not cowardiy re-
fer the matter to tNe president.
