The case was originally worked un
by DR.. III. W. Campbell, of Suffolk, who
later enlisted the services OF DR.. j. Il.

had secured sufficient information, the
matter was laid before Common
wealth's Attorney Minitree Folkes, as
the alleged offense was committed
here, and secret Indictment was pre-
sented by the grand jury. The matter
was kept quiet until after the arrest
of Speer, as it was feared by officers
of the court that premature publicity
might defeat the ends of Justice.

RATIO OF Manufactured

Der output of American sawmills
passes through second process of
manufacture before 1t is ready for the
consumer. The study Is regarded as
having an important bearing on the
extent to which more economical use
OF our forest resources can be brought
about, So far, the results obtained
show that more than five.eights of the
rough lumber sawed is to be counted
as the raw material for other indus
tries which convert 1t into more
highly finished and more valuable pro-

loss takes place in the sawmills,
Much of this mill waste in unavoid-
able under the present conditions, but

WOMAN AND FASHION
Mournina Millinery.


Women who wear black have not
been neglected by the arbiters of fash
ion. Although good taste insists upon
a conservative use of decoration, there
are attractive lines and styles In the
new hats.
The close turban Of very rough straw
is swathed with dull silk and has
simple bow at the side. Frequently a
frilling Of black net softens the line
against the hair
A larger hat may be turned up at the
side and huge soft bow held there.
The front OF another chip Is curled up
on the low crown, simply caught by
plated double fan of silk.
Dull black dahlias and silk flowers
are used in simple wreaths around the
crowns. while stiff quilts for the tailor.
ed hat have come back for their share.
OF course the best mourning hat is
the one In which refined simplicity
is the Keynote. Unobtrusive and ele-
CANT should be millinery of this type,
and nothing should be more vehement
ly decrled than the hideous bunch OF
Jet and glass that Is an offense In Its
failure to suggest the shrinking from
notice, which. after all, is the message
of black at this time.

about Is million feet of lumber Is us
ed yearly in the rough form and 23k
billion feet Is further manufactured.
This is the first time detailed fig
ures have been obtained on this subject.
The study which has yielded these fig
cures has also in view to ascertain
what commodities are made wholly or
partly of wood, the various kinds of
wood used, their origin, and their
cost, as well as other data of value to
the growers of timber and to the sell
ors and buyers of lumber.
In making up the figures, lumber
used as bridge timbers, house frames,
farm fences, trestles, board walks,
walls and similar classes of structures,
with only such cutting and fitting as

as rough lumber; that made into floor

The present aggregate population of
the four states Is estimated by their
respective state officials to be $780,
975; the population of the United
States in round figures Is 90,000.000,
according to recent estimates. The
average lumber cut in the four states
for 1907 and 190S-the one an active
and the other a dull year was 3,753,-
29S,000 feet, and for the United Stat
es it was 36,740,261, 900 Calculated
on this basis, the per capita use of
sawn lumber in the four states was
410 feet, and in the United States 40S
feet The per capita use in the four
states of lumber further manufactured
was 1853 feet. These figures indicate
a lavish use of lumber In the United
States, for our per capita consumption
