 Strong resolutions were adopted condemning sensational reports pub lished in New York papers, alleging cruel treatment of workmen fin tur- pentine camps, peonage, etc, as an injustice to and misrepresentation of Florida.
 The association decided to wage war against the alleged adulteration of spirits of turpentine with kerosene at Hamburg and Antwerp which results in discrediting the product with the German consumer.
 Resolutions were also adopted urg- ing the operators to limit production of naval stores to the end that there be no reckless waste of timber In ex- tending operations.
 They also put themselves on record as in favor of a state immigration bureau to secure a better class of foreign labor than the shiftless spec imen which have been coming south and urging other states in the tur- pentine belt to take up this sugges- tion

 Tempered With.

Montreal, Sept. 12.-A Canadian Pa- cifie Railway Harvester train was run into at Azilda, the first station west of Sudbury, by an eastbound Winnipeg express early today and thirteen per- sons were killed and many injured.

 Late reports from the Canadian Pa cific Railway wreck say that the wreck took place near little station called Chelmsford Thirteen people were killed, seven of them outright and twenty others were badly injured.
 A Harvester train going west was to meet the regular eastbound Winni- peg train. On a very steep grade the air brakes failed to work and the Har- vester train bumped Into the Winnipeg train, smashing the first two coaches to pieces.
 The Canadian Pacific Railway in an official statement says twelve people were killed and ten injured.
 The responsibility has not yet been fixed for the accident. The wounded are being cared for at Sudbury.

Missouri and Illinois Damaged.

st. Louis, No., April 2S.-The
Modern Miller of the 9th says,
of the winter wheat conditions:
Complaints that the winter wheat
crop is deteriorating are increas-
ing and coming from an charging
area. They are confined so far
principally to Illinois and Mis-
souri,, and in effect are that the
plant is irregular in growth and is
losing color. These complaints
are not general, and from these
states, also, come reports that
crop conditions are good. Con-
ditions in Kansas and Nebraska
are favorable, except in the Wes-
tern sections of these states, where
the crop is unpromising, the
growth being Door to bad. Other
wise no decline of the condition
of the crop is indicated in the
central states. In the Pacific
coast states of the Northwest the
acreage lost by winter killing is
being seeded to spring wheat.

PRAISES THE HELPFUL HEN.
Nh. Dawson Of Iowa Tells the House Of
Her Virtues.

Washington, April 2S.-The
maiden speech of Representative
Dawson of Iowa Wednesday was
devoted to praise of the "Helpiul
Hep." In a speech on the ag-
ricultural bill he said:
Poets may sing of the glory
of their eagle and artists may paint
the beauties Of birds of plumage,
but the modest American hen is
entitled to tribute for her indus
try, Der usefulness, and her pro-
ductivity. The American hen
can produce wealth equal to the
capital stocks of all the banks of
the New York clearing house in
three months and have week to
spare. In less than sixty days
she can equal the total annual pro-
duction of all the gold mines of
the United States.
The United States proudly
boasts of its enormous production
of pig iron, by far the greatest of
all countries in the world, and
yet the American hen produces as
much in six months as all the iron
mines of this country produce in
a year. In one year and ten
months she could pay off the in
terest bearing debt of the United
States"

A Hot Time Provided for The Guests
OF the Order. -

The smoker given by the locaI
tent, Knights of the NIaccabee,
Friday evening, was all that il
promised to be and then some.
They certainly went some. The
for part of the evening was spent
in playing cards. Then a pro-
gram of music, readings, and
speeches was pulled off, followed
by a lunch, which was all right,
especially in the way it was serv-
ed. This was followed by stag
dancing and other asmusements,
and while we did not stay to see
the end, we believe the boys made
their promise good to make the
guests stay all night, and they
had about 125 of them there.
VIM. Remick, commander of the
local tent was the master of cere-
monies. And we want to say
right here that when it comes to
entertaining a crowd Mr.. C. X.
Haw, the state commander, is
there with the goods. In ad-
dition to providing very pleasant
entertainment for the guests, the
Knights secured a number of new

Jockey Punished by the Stewards
for His Foul Riding.

The stewards Of the Brighton Beach Racing AS

yesterday with Miller tho jockey, for what looked
like deliberate case Of foul riding when he al-
lowed Gold Coin TO swerve out and hit Voladay
inside the last sixteenth pole in the fifth race
They fined the boy 500 and suspended him for two
days.
The foul was so palpable that the hackers OF
Voladay looked surprised when Shaw did not go
before the stewards and claim a foul after weigh
ing out. The stewards called him back however.
and then sent for Miller and after hearing what
both boys had to say, lost little time in dsqualify-
ing Gold Coin and melting out punishment to Miller
The casual visitors who had bet their twos and
hves on Gold Coin. at II to /, because Miller had
the mount, felt deeply aggrieved, but the stewards
were more than justified in their action
Miller has been a constant offender this year In
the tactics for which he punished yesterday,
and the only wonder is that he has escaped so long
He has been warned from time to time by the
stewards but this did not seem to have the proper
too severe.

the fifth race but had to be withdrawn Just be-
