Yesterday afternoon late after two

forty was exhausted with little

Another sepcial venire Of ten was
ordered but that was enough A third
venire of five was ordered yesterday
and the twenty-ninth man required

Immediately a recess was taken

defense is allowed ten and the state
seven. After that the most sensa-
tional murder trial in the history Of
the country will proceed.
The examination of the veniremen
gave some line on the sentiment in
this county on the question of capital
punishment but after all the line was
not a very definite one. There We're
fifty-fiVe men questioned as to their
views on capital punishment. Those
who were opposed to it on principle
and those who We're opposed to it in
the case of conviction on circum-
stantial evidence constituted about
twenty-five per cent of the whole

Several of the veniremen were eX-

LANE GIVES REPORT
TELLS PLAN TO DEVELOP LAND
IN ALASKA.
Urges Creation Of Administrative
Board Having Charge Of Natural
Resources Of Territory.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Outlining a
proposed land policy for Alaska, which
includes an administrative board hav-
ing charge of all the natural resources
OF the territory, the annual report Of
Secretary of the Interior Franklin K
Lane was made public today. y
Fully half of the 26 pages in the re-
port deal with the Alaskan situation
which, in the opinion of the secretary,
is the utmost Importance to the coun-
try. The withdrawal Of lands in Alas
ka and their reservation by the gov
eminent, following the discovery Of
natural resources, had precluded the
development which should have taken
place in the territory, according to the
secretary. The report says:
The largest body of unused and
neglected land in the United States Is
Alaska 1t is now nearly half a CEN
fury since we purchased this territory,
and it contains today less than 10000
white inha bitants, less than 1000 for
each year 1t has been in our posses
sion. The purchase was made as a
means of protection against the pos
sihle aggression of a foreign nation
and without the hope that 1t would be
even self-supporting. In the interven-
ing 46 years we have given it little
more than the most casual concern
yet It's mines, fisheries and furs alone
have added to our wealth the grand
sum of 500,O00,000."
Proceeding to his plan for develop
ment of Alaskan resources the secre
tary says:
I'm my judgment the way to deal
with the problem of Alaskan resources
is to establish board of directors to
have this work in charge, Into the
hands of this board or commission /
would give primarily for her improve
ment-her lands, fisheries, Indians,
Eskimos, seals, forests, mines, water
ways, railroads.&c. that the nation
owns, cares for, controls or regulates.

Old Burial Grounds.

Keokuk, Iowa, Dec. "a: Within the
last few days in this neighborhood
there have been unearthed two old
burying places.
One of these is evidently an old In
dian happy hunting ground" at Mont
rose. Workmen there found a soft
place where the wheels of their wag.
on sank into the ground On investi-
CATION they opened an Indian mound
grave, and found the skeleton with
Indian war implements. They are
now seeking other graves.
At Warsaw, ILL.,, the burying ground
of old Fort Edwards, one of the guard
out-posts along the Mississippi stu
ated on a high bluff overlooking the
river, and commanding the approach

Consent Petition Sufficient.

Des Moines, Dec. 24.-The official
canvass of the mulct statement of
consent completed by the board of
supervisors at IL o'clock last night
shows that 9,S45 valid signatures
were found upon the petition, more
than enough to permit the declaring
of it sufficient. The total number
of names thrown out by the supervis-
ors, including Withdrawals, was 2.253.
According to members of the board,
a resolution would have been adopt
ed last night, holding the petition
sufficient, but for the fact that Judge
Lawrence De Graft of the district
court early in the day had granted
a temporary stay order, restraining
them from making such a finding.
The result of the canvas was as fol-
lows:
