CURIOUS OLD LAWS
WE'RE THOSE OF COLONY AND
DOMINION OF VIRGINIA.
Order Given for Building Of jail Seems
to Have Been Beginning Of Law
and Order-Rules for
Innkeepers.

During one of his last lecture tours
through Old Virginia Mr.. Harry Ellard
was in small town called Fincastle,
which is the county seat of Botetourt
county, and there gave talk to the
Confederate Veteran association of that
place. He met number Of gentlemen
who were connected with the court
house and who allowed him access to
all of the records of the county.
On looking back nearly 40 years he
came across a curious order of the
court which he copied and which is as
follows:
BE it remembered that at the house
of Mr.. Robert Breckenridge, in the
County of Botetourt, on Tuesday, the
thirteenth day of February, in the
tenth year of the reign of our Sover-
eign King George the Third, by the
grace of God of Great Britain, France
and Ireland, King Defender of the
Faith, and in the year of our Lord
Christ one thousand seven hundred
and seventy, in the Colony and Do
minion of Virginia, that the Court or
ders that the Surveyor of Botetourt
county do lay off two and one-half
acres of land for the use of the county,
directed by Robert Breckenridge, who
shall appoint by court Christian and
Stephen Figg to agree with workman
to build log cabin twenty-four feet
long and twenty feet wide, for Court
house, with clapboard roof with two
small rooms, one at each end, for a
| jury room.
''The court doth give leave to James
M. Geoock to build log cabin twenty
four feet long and sixteen feet wide,
with an addition at the end sixteen feet
wide and twelve feet long, for prison
and the Gaoler's House, the expense of
which to be paid by the county"
This was the first record Mr.. Ellard
came across, so it will be seen that by
the building of the courthouse and jail
law and order began to prevail in this
section. Another curious order which
Mr.. Ellard copied is as follows:
"Order of the Colonial Court regulat-
ing the charge of Innkeepers at Fin
castle, Virginia, 14th day of February,
ITO, under King George III. of Eng
land, Defender of the Faith.
Ordered that the following rates be
observed by innkeepers in Botetourt
county to-wit: For East India rum
they may demand 10 shillings per gal
Ion, for rum made on this continent
2 shillings sixpence per gallon, Madeira
wine IL shillings per gallon, for Tene-
riff II shillings per gallon, for peach
brandy shillings per gallon, for APP
pie brandy shillings per gallon. For
Virginia strong INST beer, bottled three
months, Z pence half penny per bottle,
same not bottled three months one
shilling three pence; for Bumbo with
two gills of rum to the quart made
with white sugar one shilling three
pence, for same with brown sugar one
shilling. For warm diet with beer
, sixpence, for lodging with clean sheets
one in bed, sixpence, two in bed
three pence three farthings, more than
two in a bed nothing
: There was no explanation given as te
what Bumbo was, but it might have
: been colonial highball.

SHkEP-lt would be hard work to mag
Inc more satisfactory sheep market than
that which prevailed here this morning.
The quality OF the receipts was good there
being some very desirable lots among the
offerings At the same time there was
very active demand and everything in sight
changed hands in very short time at
prices that were fully steady with the close
of last week! Some. in fact, were calling il
a steady to strong market This was all
the more remarkable in view Of the fact
that Chicago was reporting a very large
run and decline of l0ql5c. while nearly
all other selling points were reported as
weak TO lower
Good lambs sold as high as 81 with good
yearlings az &C. The Gibson old wethers
which were very good sold al s. 80 and his
ewes at s.. 40. This is the highest price paid
for ewes since the break in the market
Shippers can see for themselves the short
siehtedness Of flooding the Chicago mar
ket. With moderate receipts al South
Omaha the market here was in a most sat
isfactory condition from start TO finish, with
prices steady 10 strong. On the other hand
with great big run at Chicago, the market
there according to first reports broke badly,
which will have more or less influence on
all other markets during the balance Of the
week. Nothing 10 gained by avoiding the
river markets and Shipping 10 Chicago.
Quotations for fed sheep and lambs are
as follows: Good 10 choice lambs. Colo

WASHINGTON
EXERCISES
Tributes from vice President Fair-
banks and Speaker Cannon.

WASHINGTON, d. G. Feb. 12-Anniver-
sary exercises of the birthday Of Lincoln.
under the auspices Of two patriotic ssso-
Citations were held in Washington tonight
at the Congregational church under the
auspices OF Burnside post, No. 8. Of the
department Of the Potomac Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Addresses were
made by Representative Gran Of Illinois,
Rev. II. n. Couden chaplain Of the house
Of representatives,. and others.
Commander Tasker announced that Presi-
dent Roosevelt told him that while his
heart and soul were with those who were
celebrating the birthday Of Lincoln. II
would be impossible for him to be present
at the exercises. The president had said.
the commander added. that his Office was
a "scab" Office where the people worked
more than eight hours a day, and that to
prepare properly for the occasion would
be out of the question. Letters of regret
were read from Vice President Fairbanks.
Speaker Cannon and Admiral schley.
In his letter of regret, Vice President
Fairbanks said in part:
The day which gave him Gincolnl birth
is one OF the sacred days in American
history. We do well TO recall his simple
life; his complete conservation to his coun-
try and his countrymen. He dedicated
himself early TO the cause OF human liberty.
He was a sincere believer in the prn-
ciples of the Declaration OF Independence.
He was, indeed. one OF the gentlest and
vet one of the mightiest Of statesmen.
What would American history be without
Abraham Lincoln
Speaker Cannon wrote in part:
You ask me for a tribute to that great
son of Illinois, whose works shed luster
upon the whole country and all civilaza-
ton
But who Of the living can add anything
20 the luster of this name which stands
next to that of Washington? None
Admiral Schley in his letter declared
that so long as this nation IL true to that
which Lincoln taught. il will never drift
away from the moorings laid by the
fathers OF the republic. Few men in
high place" he wrote, heard the heart
beats of people so distinctly as he did
and few will live in their love more pro-
foundly."

DUBOIS SPEAKS AT SPRINGFIELD
Idaho Senator Guest of Honor at
Iincoln,s Old Home.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,. Feb. l2-United
States Senator Fred T. Dubois Of Idaho was
the principal orator at the annual banquet
Of the Sangamon club given in honor OF
Lincoln's birthday. Senator Dubois ad-
dress was largely given to stories reminis-
cent of Lincolns life in Springfield. In clos
ing he declared that while Lincoln discussed
other questions he never got away from
the slavery question. Lincoln with one
stroke Of his pen wiped out slavery. but
polygamy stu exists. The Mormons in
this twentieth century practice polygamy
openly and have become a tremendous
political power in our country. He declared
polygamy was the greatest menace today
TO American civilization. He declared one
could not any more disassociate Apostle
Reed Smoot from polygamy than one could
disassociate a slave owner from slavery.
He thought that President Roosevelt stood
for high ideals and that he aims at what
Washington and Lincoln worked for-the
betterment of mankind everywhere.
