Subject of Prohibition Comes Up IN
the Senate.
Washington, Dec. The subject
of prohibition came up in the senate.
It was raised by Senator Tillman,
who introduced a resolution instruct
ing the committee on finance to con.
slider and report whether it is prac.
ticable fer the national government to
discontinue the issuance of permits to
retail liquor dealers in states, coun-
ties or municipalities where local op-
ton prevails prohibiting the sale Of
liquors."
Senator Allison suggested that the
government merely collected tax on
liquor and does not control it's sale.
Mr.. Tillman replied that the govern.
ment in collecting the tax permits the
sale of the liquor and issues a permit
for that purpose. The resolution was
adODted

More than 90 years ago Miller en-

WHITTLEs BOAT WITH KNIFE.
Ohio Man Makes Miniature of Side
wheel Packet During Leisure
Moments.

Gallipolis, O.-Andrew Wode, of
PomerOy, has made a miniature steam
boat which is patterned after an Ohio
river sidewheel packet. An ordinary
two-bladed penknife was used in its
construction, the blades being nearly
worn out before it was completed. Mr..
WOde did the work during odd hours,
and completed it in less than three
months.
The hull of the boat is four feet
and two inches long and II inches
wide. From the bottom Of the hull to
the top is 80 inches. The swing stage
is 26 inches long. On the lower deck
are the boilers and engines. All the
figures and the yawls on the daVits
were Whitfield from solid blocks Of
wood. In the rear is a well-appointed
bar room, with bartender and custom
ers. A faucet in a beer keg looks like
the real thing. One passenger is in
the act of turning down a glass of
beer and the nickel is on the counter
to pay for it.
A figure on the forecastle, wearing a
tile hat, is credited with being the
captain. Nothing is missing from the
outfit of the boat-bell, whistle, stove
in the pilothouse, spars, ETC., are all
there.
It is made entirely of pine and pop
lar, except the wire at the end of the
swing stage, the glass in the windows
and the small nails used in fastening
the various parts together. A man
can carry it under his arm. It is paint
ed with great care, and is named

name, the picture of which Mr.. WOde

BRIAR WOOD PIPE MATERIAL.
increasing American Purchases of the
italian Supply.

Washington.-COm with the
request of a Kentucky firm as to the
manner of getting out briar wood
blocks in Italy, Consul James A. Smith,
of Leghorn, submits the following in
formation:
THE larger part Of the Italian briar
wood is found along the Mediterrane-
an coast, extending from Savona on
the north to Calabria on the south;
the Ligurian Riviera, Tuscany, Um-
bria. the Roman provinces, the three
provinces of Calabria, as we'll as the
islands of Corsica and Sardinia fur
nishing an abundan, supply. The work
of excavating the root of the briar
wood tree is carried on from October
until the end of May A kind of grub
bing spade with one sharp edge for
cutting away the large billet or heart
Of the root (the valuable part) from
the surrounding small roots is used in
this work The billet is known as the
ciOccO. After being thoroughly cleaned
and trimmed, it is brought to the mill
and by means of circular saws cut in
to small blocks corresponding rough
ly to the shape of a pipe bowl and
stem. These blocks are of various
sizes, depending upon the dimension
and shape of the ciOccO. Afterward
they are immersed in boiling water for
period of about u hours and then
thoroughly dried.
This process completed, they are
sorted. (the imperfect pieces being
thrown aside), placed in large jute
bags, and are then ready for ship
ment. The waste pieces unsuitable for
pipes are sold for firewoOd, being an
excellent material for this purpose.
Expectations of briar wood from this
district to the United States nave
shown a decided increase during the
past few years. In 1905, II, ,904 bales
were shipped, with a value of over
100000, while during the first nine
months of 1906 nearly 10000 bales,
with value of over 1925, 1000. were ex-
ported from LeghOTn.

LOCATE IOWA METEOR
LONG LOST ROCK FINALLY
FOUND IN VIENNA.
Fell Near Esterville in 1875 and Has
Been Sought by George Barber
for Years - Brought High
Price from Purchasers.

EsterviIle, Ia.-AfJeT a lapse of 81
years. the famous Barber" meteor,
for which George Barber. of this place,
had searched for years, has been
found in a Vienna museum, carefully
labeled that all visitors may know
that it is one of Iowa's product and
fell near Esterville in June, 1875.
Fearing the Barber brothers, who
dug up the great meteor. would be
able to recover the largest piece of
the precious rock. it was quickly
passed from one person to another,
as soon as it was shipped east, until
its Whereabouts soon became mat.
ter of mystery.
inspired with a desire to secure the
meteor for the Iowa Historical so.
ciety or for the state university, many
have attempted to locate the missing
rock, but search for it has been fruit
.css. George Barber has followed the
meteor almost around the world, and
Iowans have searched the museums
of England and of Rome, expecting to
see it among the spOils of time, but
it has been left to Thomas R. Wallace,
a former IOwan, to discover the rock
which put EsteTville on the map in
one of the great museums of Vienna.
Thomas r. Wallace, who has noti-
fed George Barber of finding the me-
teOr in Vienna, is one of the men who
saw it fall, on the farm of the Seven
Lee farm, two miles north of here,
about one o'clock in the afternoon
of June %, 1875. Charles and George
Barber dug it out of the ground some
"A feet deep. The largest piece, which
is now in Vienna, weighed 1872 pounds.
The smaller pieces weighed together
400 pounds, making a total weight of
532 pounds
At the time of the great phenOme-
non the land on which the rock fell
had been sold to a Mr. Lee, and only
a small amount paid down. The Bar
Der boys were given permission by
him to dig out the meteor, but the
former owners brought suit against
the BARRIERS and the Emmett county
clerk refused to accept signers to a
$500 bond offered by the Barber boys
under Teplevin proceedings, after the
land owners had secured possession
Of the rock
While the boys were trying to re-
gain possession Of the meteor, the par
ties loaded it into q wagon and hauled
it overland to KeCkuk. where it was
sold TO eastern parties, and resold to
other parties for $58,OOO. It was sold
, year or two later to an English COM
Uany for 100000 Small pieces
hhich the Barber boys secured have
been sold for $500 each, but Iowans
have always wanted to secure posses
sion of the big piece, which now rests
among the marble and bronze statues
of Vienna.
Within a short time the scientific
world learned of the meteor. The
Barber brothers were offered 10000
for the big piece, and, believing that
it could be secured, efforts have been
made from time to time to get it back
on Hawkeye soil. The BARRIERS lost
$4,000 because the county clerk re-
fused to accept a man worth $25,O00
on a bond for $500.
