FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON
LIQUOR

As further evidence OF the on
ward sweep of the temperance wave
that has we'll nigh spread over oul
Southland, Postmaster General
Never has issued an order forbid
ding tie carrier of mails on any
route from carrying intoxicating
liquor from one point to another
upon such route while IN the per-
Torrance of his official duties
This order will become effective al
once in many sections of the coun-
try where it is necessary to install
new and supplementary service. Ii
is believed:that the enforcement oil
this order will meet the approval
of a large number of people, judg-
ing from the numerous complaints
that have been sent to the depart
ment because Of transporting
liquor by mail carriers,
The bids for star route service,
which is known as the second sec.
ton, comprising many OF the South.
ern States, will be opened today,
and as consequence, beginning ON
July 1st next, every contractor In
tie State neruorGd will be pro

liquors on his route. Thus the IN
fluence spreads, even in the section
of the country where in ante-bel-
lum days,the decanter was found
on every sideboard.
Az a further restrictive measure
against the use and sale of liquors
Mr.. j. S. Craig, member of the
House of Delegates from Rock
bridge, has introduced bill to pro-
hibet granting Licences to rectih-
ers, manufacturers or distillers In
local option districts. This is
most desirable measure and should
become law. The will of the peo-
pie should be supreme, and when
they decide at the polls that they
do not want liquor sold in their
community, no man has right to
be licensed in that com munity Il
manufacture the stuff. 1t is pretty
well known that where it is made
it is very apt to Re sold.

Towne In Race to Stay.

Denver, July 3.-Fresh from his visit to see William J. Bryan at his home in Lincoln. Charles Towne of New York, candidate for vice president on the Democratic ticket, arrived here Thurs day and at once placed himself in touch with the leaders of his party now here.
 "I may say am in the race to stay" said MT. Towne, and I have every reason to feel will be nominated. I have been assured of the support of a large number of the New York dele. gation. and believe that at the prop CT time they will all be for me. From other parts of the country also come the information that my candidacy is acceptable and pledges of active SUD- port"
 Mir. Towne said he discussed at length with MT. Bryan various blanks of the platform. Mir. Towne said: You can emphatically state there will be no straddle and no ambiguity. An anti-injunction plank will be so framed as to meet with favor from a large majority of the working men of the country"

the master of Fairview let slip the in. formation that he had been glad to see MT. Towne. He had nothing fur. ther to say.
 MT. Towne admitted to newspaper men that his candidacy, as we'll as the platform had formed the main topics of conversation New York is the logical state to furnish theivice presidential nominee" said MT. Towne. "The public does not seem to realize the number of Demo. crats there are in northern New York. l am not surpdised at the declinatiou Of Judge Gray to be mentioned for vice president. Judge Gray is a strona man, popular man, with all classes. He has ability, magnetic personality and marked attainments. However l have been assured by friends from all parts of the country of support for myself. Assurances of an unmistaka. ble character were given me by New York Democrats before would permit the use of my name"
 What will be done with the anti. injunction plank at Denver?" MT. Towne was asked.
 Tt would be a strong one-that doesn't hedge. The laboring man will be protected"
 Will provision for the interlocu. tory decree be made for use in ex- treme cases? What is Mir. Bryan's po- siton on this phase of the question:"
 That 1 cannot discuss. I cannot even express my opinion, for it would borrow color from the fact that have been talking with Mr. Bryan"
 Previous to Mir. Towne's visit, how. ever, Mir. Bryan had practically set at rest. temporarily at least, reports that he favored MT. Towne
 MT. Towne is reported as saying that you some time ago assured him that he would be acceptable to you. Is that true?" MT. Bryan was asked
 He meant that he was favorable to them,'' said MT. Bryan with stress on the last word, and with a wave of the arm indicated the galaxy of favor ite sons whose names have been men. tioned in connection with the nomina- tion of a running mate.
 MT. Bryan is silent on all matters pertaining to probable action by the convention in order to disarm proba.. ble criticism on the score that he is at. tempting to dictate.

 The affidavits were from school of. ficials of Texas and Indiana to the ef- fact that the Cyr Primer has been of. fered for adoption in that state at 10 cents piece and copy of the primer was attached to the affidavits. The Cyr Primer on second adoption was selected in Texas at cost of, 20 cents. taking the place of the Wheeler Prim- CT. which had been first selected and then rejected because of alleged tax irregularities. Wheeler ayers that the Cyr Primer is identical in both Indi- ana and Texas, and therefore Is not subject to adoption in this state at a price in excess of that offered in any other state in the Union, the Texas textbook act providing that this state shall select books at prices lowest of fered in any other state. This affida- wit contradicts other affidavits on file in behalf of the primer.

UNUSUAL CASE.
Husband Sues Because Wife's Body
 Was Buried at Sea.

New York, July 3-A case just in stituted in the United States circuit court brings up the unsettled point as to what rights steamship officers have over the bodies of passengers who die at sea. Chalmers Prentice is suing at sea. Chalmers Prentice is suing the North German-Lloyd Steamship com. pany for $250.000 damages for burying his wife at sea instead of embalming the body and bringing it to New York as the captain had promised to do, Prentice alleges.
 Attorney for MT. Prentice have filed complaint which narrates that Mrs Prentice, accompanied by her sixteen year old daughter and a nurse, sailed on the North German-Lloyd Steamer Koenigin Louise from Naples on April 19 and that Mrs Prentice died on April 27 when the ship was 1 $40 miles from this port.
 It Is alleged that Mrs. Prentice had with her over $l .000 and the daughter agreed that this should go to paying the expenses of embalming the body, so that 1t could be brought to New York. The ship was supplied with the apparatus necessary for embalming bodies, the complaint alleges. and that it Is customary to so treat the bodies of people who died in transit. parti- cularly the first class passengers. Af. ter this agreement with Capt.sH Nor ganstern the body was buried at sea, despite the protests of the daughter, the complaint says.
 The attorneys for Mir. Prentice as- sert that Capt. Morganstern had the body buried at sea because an Italian medical officer. who was accompany ing some emigrants to America, insist ed that according to the Italian law the body must be buried at sea.
 Attorneys for North German-Lloyd steamship company have not yet filed their answer to the complaint It was said at their office that Capt. Morgan stern had not contracted to embalm the body and bring 1t to New York so far as they knew. and that without such a contract he had the right to use his discretion as to the burial of pas senger It Is not contended, however, that Mrs. Prentice died of con- tagious disease.
