NOVELIST WISTER
DIES IN THE WEST

Cleveland, Oct. 13.-Owen Wister,
the novelist, died in Wyoming today
while his wife was rushing from Erie
in a special train to his bedside. AL
though the train averaged a mile a
minute, death was the speedier and
won the race.
The Wister's home was in Phila-
delphia. Mrs. Wister was attending
the State Federation of Woman's
Clubs in Erie when she received
news of her husbands sudden illness.
Mr.. Wister was chiefly known as
the author of ''The Virginian," tale
of ranch life in Wyoming. He was
born in Philadelphia in 1860 and
graduated from Harvard in 1882.
His first novel appeared in 1892, and
from that time up to his death he
issued a constant stream of novels,
magazines articles and verse.
The life on the Western prairies
appealed to him strongly and he was
one of the most popular exponents oi
the vanishing cowboy.

LIBEL SUITS FOR
TWO PUBLICATIONS
Harrisonburg Papers Made
Defendants in Proceedings
Instituted Saturday
SENATOR kEEzElL SUES news
Latest De- slopment i'll One of the
Hotties. Political Fights Rock
ingha i Has Ever Known

Harrison burg, Va, Oct. 1.-two
local newspa pers were today made
defendants in heavy suits for dam
former Senator George B.Keez-
ell instituting proceedings against
the Harrisonburg Daily News for
$4,000 damages for alleged libel,
ands'Dr. John E. miller entering upon
the same course and asking for the
same amount from the Rockingham
Daily Record, the new publica,:oi, ou
the same grounds.
The Keezell suit was brought about
by the publication the past week by
the News of charges against the
former senator to the effct that in
1904, while a member of the State
Senate, he appeared before the State
Corporation Commission and secured
a reduction in the assessment of the
Chesapeake & Western Railway COM
pany, a road running from Stokes
vile, Augusta county through Harri-
sonburg to Elkton, and that he &C
cepted as pay practically the entire
amount saved by the road by this re-
duction. This morning, through the
columns of the Record, of which he
is part owner, Senator Keezell
branded the charge as libel, and lat
er in the day he filed notice of his
suit. The News is controlled by R.
B. Smyth and has fought Keezell
strenuously in his campaign for the
county treasureship.
"Dr." Miller's suit against the Re-
cord comes as result of the publica-
tion some days ago of a "news story"
which is alleged to have been damag-
ing to the plaintiff in the proceedings
instituted today.
The outcome Of both suits will be
watched with great interest by the
people of this county.

TAFT BREAKS GROUND
FOR BIG EXPOSITION
Elaborate Ceremonies Mark the
Occasion in San Francisco

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. IA
Promptly on the stroke of noon to-
day President Taft, his silk hat laid
aside and his sleeves rolled up, smil-
ingly turned spadeful of earth in
the greensward of Golden Gate Park,
and amid the tumultous shouts of
thousands, the music of bands and
the waving of flags the ground and
the City of San Francisco expect to
entertain the world in 1913.
1t was after ten o'clock when the
great parade completed it's forma-
tion in Market street and moved to-
ward Golden Gate Park. For miles
along the streets lined and canopied
with colors and before an enormous
crowd, the sailors and marines from
the Pacific fleet, soldiers of the re-
gular army and State militia, civic
organizations and members of patric-
tic societies made their way to the
martial tunes of innunerable bands
and to the cheers that began with
the first command to march and last
ed until the vanguard of the pro-
cession had entered the park and
President and other notables had
taken their seats in the stadium in
readiness for the ground breaking
ceremonies to begin.
The ceremonies were of simple
but highly impressive character. The
Governor of California and his staff
were there, together with the may
ors of many of the leading cities of
the state. Other guests of honor in
cluded representatives of all of the
Pacific coast states, the California
representatives in Congress and the
officials and directors of the Panama.
Pacific exposition company. After an
invocation by the Bishop of Californ-
la there were brief addresses by
President Taft, Governor Johnson,
Mayor Mccarthy and President G. c..
Moore of the exposition company.
The program was interspersed with
selections of music and the whole
was concluded with the firing of an
artillery salute.

PROSPECTS GOOD
AT FISHERSVILL

Fishersville, Oct. 13.-The farm
ers have had one of the favorable
seasons for preparing their fields for
seeding they have ever had. AS a
result, the crop is now in the ground
and, for the most part, sprouted. The
ground was put into garden like con-
dition before sowing and the warm
moist weather brought the wheat
up-in some within sixty
hours from the day of sowing.
Apple picking is now on and those
farmers who had the good fortune
to have crops have sold. The buy
ers are picking and hauling every
moment the weather permits. DR..
Fletcher is having his enormous crop
picked by hands brought here from
Montgomery country. The doctor
had some fine offers for his apples
but decided to pick them himself.
J. W. Lambert has finihsed deliver
ing his crop to the c. & o. r. R. at
Fishersville. This crop was sold in
July to Mr.. McCoach of Huntington,
w. Va, large buyer who has pur-
chased in this section several sea-
sons and whose dealing with the peo-
pie have invariably proved highly
satisfactory. Mr.. McCoach also
bought T. w. Harnsberger's crop and
is now picking it. Both the Lambert
and Harnsberger crops were under
the management of MI. .Forerst Pugh.
of Nelson county, a most energetic,
intelligent young gentleman who has
pushed the work with vigor.
Quite a number of people from this
section are in attendance upon the
State Fair at Richmond, the>visitors
from Fishersville perhaps being more
numerous than ever before.

WAYN[SBORO LINE
SEEMS CERTAINTY
Obstacles Overcome and Actual
Work Will Soon Start

Plans for the establishment of an
electric line from Staunton to Way
nesboro have reached stage which
gives promise of the eventual carry
ing out of the long cherished pro-
ject, the fact becoming known yes
terday that the preliminary work has
progressed to a point from where
the next step will be the actual lay
ing of the rails.
a survey of the route had been made
and the landowners along the line
had been approached concerning a
right of way. J. M. SPOTS, presi-
dent of the local traction company,
and others interested in the enter
prise would have little to say about
the matter, however, beyond admit
ting that the construction of the
line was being considered.
According to information gained
yesterday the right of way from
Staunton to Waynesboro has now
practically been secured, and several
bitches which baked the prelimin-
airy work have been overcome. The
financing of the project has virtual
ly been arranged, it is understood,
and every other difficulty that has
caused delay has been adjusted, SO
as to leave clear the way of the es-
tablishment of the railway.
The benefits to be derived from Q
line such as is proposed could hard.
ly be overestimated. 1t would be 8
great thing for the business of Way.
nesboro as we'll as of Staunton fol
it would put both towns within easy
access of the great rich country ly
ing in between. 1t would increase
the value OF the land in this county
and it would bring new people to the
section. With plans in their presen
shape it is to be hoped that no new
,bstaele will arise to further della,
the fulfillment of the project.

HEAVY SENTENCE
FOR COUNTY NEGRO

Henry Mcdonald, colored, was ar
raigned in police court Saturday
morning and fined $50 and sentenced
to 80 days in jail for having pro-
cured liquor for two S. M. A. cadets
The negro, who is from the country,
walked into trap laid by Captain
T. G.. Russell, of the Academy, which
was carried out with the assistance
of two honor students and a police
officer.
The idea was to catch one of sew.
eral town negroes who are suspected
of having bought whiskey for certain
cadets last year, and so furnish an
example which would prevent a re-
petition of such things this year. It
was Mcdaniel, however, who happen
ed along and readily consented to
buy pint of liquor for Captain Rus
sells scouts, when they promised to
pay him so cents, and it is Mcdaniel
who gets it in the neck.
When the honor men gave the ne
gro the money with which to buy the
liquor they told him to return with
it to certain corner. Wheh he car
ried out their instructions and re-
turned to the given place, an officer,
who had been "wised up in the
meanwhile, emerged from his hiding
place and arrested the negro as he
passed over the flask.
Thus green country negro will
do four months for the edificatiOn of
his town brothers who might be in
clined to- pick up some easy money
by procuring. drinkables for thirsty
cadets.
