Immediate admission of Arizona and

Federal control of the lake fisheries

Extension of tie ocean mail act of

Drastic plans are advanced for the

Tie Burley Tobacco Society with
members in attendance from nearly
all counties held a meeting at Winches-
ter and arranged for the distribution
of the $12,O00,0O0 paid for the tobac-
co crop by the American Tobacco COM
pany, Reports from various counties
showed that the larger portion of
the 1907 crop had been priced but that
in all of tie counties nearly all Of
it is in the hands of the growers. A
limited number of reports were receiv-
ed concerning tie sale of pooled to-
bacco to outsiders. .,
The meeting really was one for JOY
and congratulation, ard at the Brown
Pretoria Hotel the District Board of
the Burley Society was rendered a
banquet. 1t proved one of the most elab-
oratee ever given in the State. The
menu cards were artistically decorated
One side bore a tobacco leaf and the
opposite side containd the picture of
the members of tn Board of Control,
Secretary Brooks and President Le-
Bus. The place cards were all hand
painted, and all differnt The floral
decorations were lavish. Saxton and

Little Nancy Everly Gone.

Another Jewel has dropped into the
great ocean Of eternity Another pale
rose bud has been piucked from earth
to bloom in Heaven. How fleeing
are the days of life! TIE frost of
death came before the beautiful little
bud was permitted to unfold its snowy
petals to the Sun; to be kissed by
the gems Of heavenly love and be
bathed in the smiles Of friends and as
.sociates.
Nancy little daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rufus Bverly died Nov. 26 1908
having lived but few years in this
world. She was unwell a greater part
of her short life hence, was made a
care for tine family and was loved
more dearly. She was of a loving dis
position and her fond caresses for her
papa and mamma will be sadly miss
ed by them but dear ones weep not
for little Nancy for she is in a better
world where pain and sorrow can new
er come. Suffer little children to
come unto me are the words our
Savior said. Weep not as those who
have no hope for you know that she
is safely at rest. This is a golden
cord to draw you closer to that Heaven
ly Home. for you know that there a
precious Jewel awaits your coming.
Then look forward to that bright reun
ion in mansions above where little
Nancy and all the saved of earth will
dwell forever more.

Great Excitement at Mines and
Many Men Have Narrow

The Central City Republican says:-
Last Tuesday afternoon shortly after
2 o'clock huge volume of black smoke
of ominous pOrtent was seen issuing
from the shaft of the mine of the
Central Coal and Iron Co., located
near the Union depot.
As the people watched the smoke
became more dense and soon the re-
port was hurried from mouth to mouta
gaining in norribleness with every re-
petition that over 100 miners were
being suffocated and many. if not all,
We're already dead and If not dead

ed TO a horrible death. The report
coming right on the heels Of tie news
of the fearful disaster at Mariana
was sufficient to set our people wild,
many of whom had relatives or friends
among the imprisoned host Mothers,
wives, daughters, sisters and dear
friends, all FASTENED to the spot and
many minutes the scene WAS most
heart-rending.
Women prayed and begged for infor
nation as to the fate of a love ones
men with blanced cheek and fearful
eye hurried to and fro but for many
minutes, seemingly hours, no commu-
nication could be effected with those
on the East side where the trouble
was found to be.
Finally parties hurrying to the air
shaft mile away found that the way
was open for their exit aud soon a
hoist was put to work and the impris-
oned miners liberated three ut q time
until all the 70 in number were once
again in the arms of their loved ones
! with hearts full of thanksgiving that
it was no worse. 1t seemed that part
of the machinery of the pump became
overheated and set fire to the wood

hours and Just wages.

the rights OF the people when the ex4
ercise Of those rights affects the abuse
Of privileges by the great corporations

driven from the bench by their fellow
Magistrates.
The upbuilding of the laws is declar
ed to be the duties of the Courts, but
greater car is urgd in the selection of
the legislators who inact the laws, for
the message says, "our great clusters
of corporations, huge trusts and fabu-
lousy wealthy millionaires not only
employ hte very best lawyers they Can
obtain to pick flaws in the statutes
after they are enacted, but they also
employ class of secret agents who
seek, under the advice of experts, to
render hosti e legislation innocuous by
the insertion of such clauses before
enactment as will make it unconstitu-
tional,"
The necessity Of preserving the for
ests is argued at great length by the
President, VINO points out the dire con
sequences which have followed the
denudation of the plains and noun
tains of North rn China.
Complete reorganization of the plan
of developing the inland waterways is
recommended. 1t is suggested that the
work be taken out of the hands of the
Engineer Corps of the army and plac-
ed under control OF q commission.
Each stream, says the Executive,
should be considered a unit in one
rand system, and every dollar expend-
ed should be used IN furtherance of
the whole scheme of inland navi-
cation instead of, as at present, being
devoted to the Improvement of iso-
lated portions of various watercourses

Before the Congress placed this Inn

the President, these men gave valua-
BILE aid in unearthing frauds against
the Government, especially in ferret
ing out land thieves in the North
west, some of whom were members of
the National Congress. The President
urges such amendment of the law as
will place at the disposal Of all de-
partments of the Government such as
sistance as can be given by the Sc
cret Service. Recalling the reasons
urged for the restriction of the work
of this department AFTER the cohvic-'
