A Pioneer Lumberman Gone.

Michael Dale, an old lumberman, aged
81 years, formerly one of the most prom
inent umbermen operating on the Clar-
ion river, died at the home of his grand
daughter, Mrs. H. S. Bole of Pittsburg,
last monday, Feb. 10, 1908. Mr.. Dale was
born in Westmoreland county, near
Greensburg. He came to this county
when 20 years of age and, with several
other persons, began to float timber down
the river to Pittsburg. Hearing that
there was timber famine in New Or
leans the next year, although ridiculed
by others, he undertook to float lumber
to that point, being the first to attempt
and carry through such an enterprise,
He fioated seven RATS of Clarion county
pine to New Orleans with the assistance
of five men, and made the business at
tractive to men seeking investments in
lumber. A bout that time he went into
the lumber business extensively with
some Clarion and Westmorelsnd partners
and followsd it up until about 25 years
ago. He was married to Wilhelmins
Eisenman, of Clarion county. Two
daughters survive him. He was a truly
loyal and faithful Catholic and was given
interment under the rites of that church.
Every one of the old mbermen who
"run" on the Clarion and Allegheny
rivers will recall with pleasure the
memories of"Mike" Dale, and will sin
cerely regret to know that he has gone
from their view forever. Peaceful be his
rest.-Clarion Democrat.

IRISH QUAKER SEES OMAHA
Alfred NewsOm of Edenderry
AstOunded at Amount of Land
in America.

T Alfred Newsom, master of Mount Wilson
estate. near Edenderry. Kings county, Ire
land, spent Tuesday in Omaha. He came
in from Elgin, Neb., accompanied by his
wife and by their host and hostess, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Coupland OF Elgin. Miss Mary
Russell of County Westmeath. Ireland, was
also a member of the party.
A ruddy complexion and a clear blue eye
bespeak Mr.. Newsonls nationality even be-
fore he speaks. And it's a fine breath of the
ould sod he brings with him. He is Is
years old though to look at his straight
figure and TO see his firm walk one could
not take him to beGa day over 80. 1t is
his first visit to the Omitted States.
And I'm surpTisedaHt the great country
you have here" he said. I'VE hear of the
wonders of America over in Ireland, but
never pictured it half as fine as it is. The
land you've got here, any amount of 1t, is
astonishing
Now, have 416 acres in my estate and
we think that's a very big bit for one man
to have. OF course, we do finer and more
intensive farming than you. employ nine
men on my place. 1 pay my head plowman
shillings $2.95 a week. You pay much
higher wages here.
Fifty acres of my estate is a peat bog
and we use that for fuel entirely. The peat
runs to a depth Of fifteen feet and, Of
course, there is nearly inexhaustible sup
ply there"
Mr. Newsom is an Irish Quaker. He spent
considerable time visiting with the people
Of this peaceful faith in Pennsylvania. the
vicinity Of Philadelphia and other parts OF
the east. He was astonisbed 10 find how
many friends he met. He declares he met
some men he hadn't seen for forty years
who didn't look day older than when
he last saw them, a fact which he attrib-
uteS to the salubrious climate of America.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newsom are visiting Mr..
end Mrs. Coupland because they knew Mrs.
Coupland's parents and grandparents in
Ireland. The party will go to Nebraska
City to visit at Arbor Lodge, ]. Sterling
Morton's place. Mr.. and Mrs. Newsom will
sail for ireland again on the Campania

DREAM DENS ARE RAIpEp
Opium Joints Visited by Police, VINO
Arrest Several Men and
Women.

As warmer days, gin riclSies and mint
juleps replace the winter winds and Scotch
hlghballs, likewise the sacred flower Of
Chinatown takes its place among the sins
OF the self-indulgent, and places some
would-be happy ones clear over In the
land beyond, where breezes are cool and
all faces stand ajar In everlasting singing.
This change OF diet among the dreamers
caused Sergeant Cook ct al. on the police
force to put in a busy night after the
shades fell Tuesday. and they labored dill
gently bringing in those who were off
where the peoples bloom forever and FINGER
nails grow long and twisted.
The first raid was to the room OF "Bill'
Bailey and A. Kennedy at 1913 Cass street
where two outfits and four dreamers, be-
sides the proprietors, were taken to the
station. Those who had smelled the fumes
and forgotten distances were Laura Card
ner. Silky Smith, May Harris and Floyd
Van Wrinkle.
Van Wrinkle was off in a doze which
promised to hold him for twenty years.
He thought the police officers were guides
calling to show him tho broad avenues Of
paradise and the Niger head flint pave
ments seemed like golden cobble stones to
him as the chariot bumped over them on
| the way to the station.
Sam Lung had a larger party enjoying
the dope at 1924 Capitol avenue Three
complete opium outfits were secured and
four fair smokers had left the hard reali-
| ties of earth and were banqueting some
where between the two shores on an ex-
cursion steamer which was following
Charon's old boat.
When Helen Martin, Anna Moore, Hazel
Malby and Alice Brown appeared in police
court Wednesday they were surprised to
find such stern faces about them. Even
chewing gum would not transport them
back TO the pleasure boat. They had beer
thrown into jail and Jail is one OF the
worst classes of hotels. The food is moi
always satisfactory. The butter Is stronH
and the coffee is sometimes of chicory
Opium smokers who are put in jail ar'
soon divorced from the social refinement
of their Imagination, and this was the con
dition of the lovers of the sacred flowe
when they leaned against the hard benche
instead Of silken couches on which the!
reclined in their haunted minds.

SHIPPERS NOT INFORMANTS
Inspectors Are Sources of Informa-
tiOn In Twenty-EIght-HOur
Law Cases,

The trial OF the twenty-eight hour law
violation case against the Union Pacific
Railroad company is still occupying the
boards of the United States district court.
A great host of witnesses has been sum
moned in this and other like cases against
the Burlington and Northwestern roads.
All of these cases instigated through
the law department Of the Department of
Agriculture pertain to the bureau OF
animal industry. Special Solicitor S. w.
Williams of the Department of Agriculture
is assisting in the trial Of the cases. He
was asked how did the department become
informed OF these violations OF the twenty
eight hour law?
The Information is obtained through
the inspectors of the bureau of ami
NAL industry" said Mr.. Williams, land
not from any information volunteered
from the shippers. though the shippers
must of course, be utilized as witnesses
In mony instances the discovery OF the
violations of the law are accidental. The
chief function of the inspectors who look
after live stock in transit is to see that
such live stock is not shipped from Sec
| tions under quarantine Inhibition. Inciden-
| tally they discover that the live stock
shows evidences of suffering. and the
cause is investigated, We had a case not
long ago where there was a shipment of
horses from Canada to some point in New
England, the animals being kept on the
cars without food, rest or water, for
seveEty-two hours. Many OF the animals
had eaten the names and all the hair from
the tails Of their companions from hunger.
Some of the horses were dead from star
walton and weakness. The railroad COM
pany was heavily fined for its neglect.
Some Of the heavy fines have been imposed
against the railroads for their neglect IN
this matter, and it is the intention of the
| government to see that the law is rigidny
enforced. The penalty is a minimum fine
Of 500 or a maximum fine Of $500 for each
offense"

SHERCLTFF IS UNDER ARREST
Will Now Have to Face Charges in
States that Want Him.
CAUGHT AT LANSING. MICHIGAN
COLORADO Wants Him for Murder mt
LeadvilIe, California for Grand
Larceny at Oakland and
Oklahoma for Robbery.

LANSING Mich, May 2O-Chief of Police
Donahue, Omaha: We have under arrest
man under the following aliases: George d.
Smith, Sherman W. Morris, Frank sher-
cliff, Kid Mccoy and others. Noted des-
perado. Answer Immediately.
Henry Behrendt, Chief of Police.
Upon receipt of this telegram Wednesday
morning Chief Donahue wired the record
of Shercliff to Lansing and told where he
was wanted. The Omhaa records show
that he is wanted in Leadville for the muir
der Of a man named Murphy in 1891; at
Blackwell. Okl, for highway robbery and
at Oakland, Cal, for grand larceny.
Shercliff will be remembered as the fam
Gus Pollack diamond robber, the man who
served a term in the Iowa penitentiary at
Fort Madison for slugging Pollack, the
New York diamond drummer, on a North
western train between Omaha and Missouri
Valley and robbing him of $4,000 worth OF
diamonds. After he beat Pollack into in
sensibility and took the diamonds from ar
inside pocket, the robber leaped from the
train and supposedly buried the treasure
near Missouri Valley.
Thomas Comes to See Him.
He remained in the Fort Madison peni-
tentiary until Elmer e. Thomas, as at.
| torney for Omaha Civic Federation, sought
MIN as witness against Tom Dennison iT
his notable trial at Red Oak, when he
Dennison, was acquitted on a charge pre-
| ferred against him in connection with this
robbery. Thomas visited Shercliff at the
penitentiary and also visited Governor
| Cummins at Des Mones. Shercliff waI
| turned loose on the agreement he would
| give the required testimony. He gave the
| testimony at the Dennison trial He wal
given the protection of the Iowa governor
| while at large and Notwithstanding the
| fact that other states wanted him, no re
| QUESTION papers for his transportation ou
| of the state of Iowa were granted.
| Now that he is beyond the bonds of hi
| Iowa and Nebraska friends and outside o.
the jurisdiction OF the state of Iowa, 1t fl
| believed he will be taken to one of tn,
states demanding him and made to stant
trial for some OF the alleged crimes.
Before leaving Omaha Sherclff robbed
the house of Tom Dennison, but Chic
Donahue says he does not believe this cas-
will be pushed against him, because of
desire not to interfere with the other NOR
serious prosecutions.
