The Lone Star of Texas.

The origin Of the Lone Star dag Of
the republic of Texas is not entirely
clear The claim has been made that 1t
was unfurled in the present territory
Of Louisiana in 1870 but other search
ers cannot find earlier trace of 1t than
the presentation Of such a banner to
the company of Captain Andrew Rob
inson in May. 1888. Still another claim
is made for flag unfurled at Velasco
Jan y. 1886. and said to have been
made by a Miss Troutman of Nash
Vile. Ga. One story has 1t that the
star came from the fact that Governor
Smith. for lack Of a seal, used brass
button from his coat which bore a five
pointed star-St. Louis Republic.

CALIFORNIA WOMEN CONTROL.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Nov. g.
California for Roosevelt and Johnson
by 10000, for Wilson and Marshall by
10000, were the predictions of rival
campaign managers on the eve of the
en- voters.
Professional predictions apart, it
was the best opinion of politicians of
alls parties that the addition of La Fol
lette and Taft strength to the normal
Democratic vote, by reason of the ina
bility of Taft supporters to vote for
Taft electors in this state, would make
the contest extremely close.

Making Dairy Mod
ern in Every Respect

Wallace Tolman, who operates tho
Rising Sun dairy. has just complet-
ed cement milk house in which to
handle his milk. The building has
cement floor, the walls are laid with
cement brick, and the roof is of ce-
ment, eight inches thick, built In an
arch, solid. 1t has vat in one cor
ner for standing milk cans in cold
water, and across the end are the
aerator or cooler and the filling ma
chine.
The cooling device consists of
high tank containing water and ice.
The sides are sloping like en- invert-
ed funnel, and 4he milk is poured in
to a straincr that lets 1t pass out
slowly and run down over the cold
surface of the tank, draining into
another milk can below. In this way
bucket of warm milk can be made
cold in the time 1t takes 1t to run
through the strainer, and this is one
of the essentials to sanitary milk, the
quick cooling.
The filling machine consists of a
tank with valves controlled by short
levers, and the tank Is on wheels, so
that it moves along as desired, from
one row of bottles to another, and
fifty or a hundred can be filled In
a few minutes without any waste and
without any dipping or handling. As
soon as the bottles are filled, heavy
paper caps are pressed into the tops
of the bottles, and nothing can get
in or out.
Mr. Tolman has recently built
new barn with wood floors for the
cows and cement drainage troughs.
He uses the enclosed milk buckets
with dust proof screens where the
milk enters. He has been studying
closely the requirements of the pure
food commission, and the reasons for
them, and it is his purpose to fol-
low up their teachings and give the
most perfect handling Of milk that
can be had.

Over 1000 People Go Down to
Watery Grave on ll-F ated Titanic
Accident Occurred Sunday Night off the Coast
Of New Foundland, When Steamer Struck
Ice Berg and was Shattered. Many
Famous People on Board.
WOMEN AND CHILDREN RESCUED
Placed Life Boats Scanty Clad While Men Remained Meet
Death Wireless Messages Sent Broadcast and Three Ships
Respond but Arrive Late Rescue ANY Except Those
in Life Saving Boats. Full Reports Not etReceved

The steamer Titanic left Southamp-
ton Wednesday, April 10th, on her
maiden trip, loaded with 1900 pas
sengers, bou for New York, and on
Sunday night at 10 o'clock she
crashed into an iceberg on the Grand
Banks, and was so shattered that she
sank in four hours, carrying 1902
persons down with her, sinking where
the sea is two miles deep.
When the crash came, most of the
passengers were in bed or were in
their staterooms, and as they rushed
upon the decks in their night clothes
or scantily clad, some of them were
placed in boats and pushed off into
the fog suffering from the cold.
] Those who returned to get more
clothes had less chance to reach the
boats, and those having life preserv-
ers only, could not live more than a
few minutes in the icy waters.
The wireless telegraph sent out the
call &C @ D''-come quick, distress
and answers were received from
several vessels within two hundred
miles, the Carpathia being within fif-
ty miles. Each of them started at
once for the Titanic, and kept in wire
less communication until 1927 a. m.
when the messages blurred and then
ceased altogether. The vessel filled
rapidly and sank at about 2 a. m.
Monday, with about 1900 men on
board, the women and children hav-
ing been for the most part trans
ferred to boats.
The Carpathia arrived at the scene
at daylight and found life boats and
wreckage scattered over a large ex-
panse of sea, but no bodies floating
nor any survivors clinging to wreck
age. Other vessels reached the
scene during the forenoon, too late

The Titanic was the largest vessel
afloat, being 882 feet, 6 inches long,
and carrying 10000 tons. The vessel
cost $10,0OO,O00, and carried insur-
ance for $5,O0O,0OO. A large num-
ber of the worlds notables had taken
passage for this voyage, some of them
having waited for some time, to make
the trip on the maiden voyage of the
worlds greatest steamer.
Among the passengers were John

Don't Be Deceived
On Lumber Prices

There's a big difference in buy
ing Just lumber and in buying
the kind of lumber we sell.
Your contractor or carpenter
will tell you that some lumber
can be nailed right into house
without plane ever touching
it. That means the saving of
hand labor. Of course, the
lumber deal, r has to charge a
little moro for this smoothly
finished lumber, but in the end
it really means a big saving to
you. Right here is where a
lot of mistakes are made when
lumber is bought solely on
without regard to quail
ity. True, Is to 20 years ago
lumber sold for from 10 to
$3.50 cheaper, but you do your
self and your pocket book a
great injustice when you COM
pare that lumber with the 500
to 1870 greater values you
really get today. Come in and
see tho difference.

atient at the Insane
Asylum Meets Death

A man in the violent ward at The
Asylum died last week of hemorrage
of the liver, resulting from e strug-
gle with attendants while placing
him under restraint. His name was
James F1emming and he was brought
here from Salmon City, but his for
mer residence was Baker City, Ore
gon.
He arrived here Wednesday morn
ing, and was disposed to commit
murder and suicide. He was placed
in strong room, with his hands in
leather muff attached to his belt.
At about $50 while the patients on
that ward were at supper, he asked
to be let out to go to the toilet, and
while passing down the corridor he
threw off tho leather mutt which he
had evidently broken before being
let out, and charged on an attend
ant named w. J. Hicks, raining
blows upon him. Hicks grappled
with him and throw him down, but
Flemming Immediately turned him
and choked him into insensibility
Hicks cries for help had attracted
arother attendant named Brown
who Joined in and summoned 9th
ers. Flemming was overpowered
and again placed in the strong room
and fastened to the cot Between
eight and nine o'clock he was found
| dead.
On Thursday afternoon an autopsy
was held, and coroner's inquest
made a thorough examination into
the matter, reaching a verdict as
stated above. The members of the
jury were: VIM. Vanderwood, Wen
dell Gagon, J. H. Early, D. F. Ar
thur, F. G. Christ, Geo. Ezell, E. w
Rowles, Roy DeKay, Edw. Thorser
and E. G. Volland. Coroner E. T

nesses. Deputy Sheriff w. H. Kest
ner and County Physician DR.. w. E
Patrie and representatives of botf

Medical Superintendent DR.. F. H

ton.
The witnesses examined were w
J. Hicks, w. F. Brown, F. R. DeHart
E. A. Custer, F. G. Loudermilch, DR.
F. H. Poole and DR.. w. e. Patrie.
Fleming was very strong muscu
lar man, standing six feet one inch
in height and weighing 180 pounds
and it is most likely that in the
struggle to overpower him, he was
thrown on his back and some mar
placed his knee upon him directly
over the liver, thus pinning that or.
gan between the knee and the back
bone. The rent, or split was in the
center lobe of the liver, and extended
VERTICALLY about three inches. Both
Bleming and some of the attendants
bore number of bruises, and the
attendants testified that the fight was
fistic encounter, no cudgels being
allowed in the ward for use or pro-
lection of the attendants. Hicks, the
man first attacked, was the largest
attendant in the struggle and he was
much smaller than Fleming. When
he was giving his testimony he wos
asked, "Did you just keep still and
fight, or did you call for help?" He
looked surprised and said, "Sure
called for help. bawled like pan
ther till my wind was cut off by the
choking, and when / came to, the
fight was still going on, and a crazy
negro that's kept on that ward was
