for six weeks or more, came as a
which had made the captain semi
invalid for years. He was not con.
fined to his bed until about a month
ago, however. Had he lived until
Jan 10, he would have been 7S years
: old.
The Pueblo Chieftain was founded
by him in the spring of 1870, at a
time when he was serving as post

sumed personal control of his news-
paper investment, placing brother
in charge as manager.
The strong personality OF the cap
tain. coupled with his wide expert
ence in the affairs of men and pro-

steadily brought the prestige of the
paper up to a high standard.
Captain Lambert WAS born in ire
land, Jan. 10, 1887. He came no
America with his parents when 10
years old, settling in Dubuque, Iowa.
Early in his youth he was appren-

regiment was mustered out in the

~ HERE is room for anxiety
" over the possibility of a
great railroad strike.
News yesterday from st. Louis
was to the effect go per cent of
the Missouri trainmen have vot-
ed in favor of a strike, provid-
ed their demands are not met.
Similar reports have been re-
ceived from other points and
altoghether the situation looks
like the railroads will have to
do something towards meeting
their men or face one of the
greatest strikes in history.
However, there is no profit
in trying to cross bridges be-
fore reaching them so it is ue-
less to worry over the matter
at present. The difficulty
should not be impossible of ad-
juStment. Both sides have
much to gain by a compromise
settlement; each side will
surely lose through a fight.

FRUITS OF THE FILL

~ HE almost total absence
u of shipping in Portland
has been a matter OF gen
eral comment by al who have
visited the rose city in recent
months. Never before in a gen
Grafton has there been such a
dearth of ocean going ships IN
the harbOr.
There is a reason for the sit
uation and Judge Burke, col
lector of customs, gave some
straight facts in recent talk
in Portland.
There is slackness here
on the Pacific coast and I'll tell
you why" said Judge Burke.
1T is because republican sena-
tors filibustered the admins
tration's S4O,000,000 ship pur-
chase bill to death.
This country depends on
wheat and lumber, and we
can't get ships TO transport II
and for what little we do send
we pay from three to 10 times
the normal rates Of water trans
portation. Some little has gone
across the continent by rail.
"The transporters are get
ting as much as the man VINO
produces the product, some
times more. Had the ship pur-
chase bill gone through we
would have had enough bot.
toms to take care Of our com
merce.'
The statement is true ex
cepting that it places the
blame entirely on republican
senators whereas severa
stand-pat democrats partci
pated in the hold-up of The
ship bill a year ago. HoweveI
the filibuster itself was con

conducted by Rev. Jim Williams. He
has been doing some very, very fine
preaching, and the attendance has been
good.
John H. HOWE, candidate for con-

had very god hearing. The people
were very much impressed with his
speech. So much so that it is believed
that he will get practically every mans
vote that heard him.
A very prominent young lady, Miss
Ruby Ferguson, of Hickory, together
with Miss Gusta and Mr.. Arthur DON

CANNING DEMONSTRATIONS.

On July IL, Is, 16 and IL canning DEM
onstrations were given at KING, Lang
ford, Goshen Springs and Shiloh.
At King we had with us Miss Bush,
from Plain, who has given much time
and thought to club work. Every mem
Der of the canning club was present
and gave splendid assistance in the can
ming of tomatoes and beans in glass and
tin. Upon leaving the hospitable home
of Mrs. Hub Harrison, where the dem

tended us a cordial invitation to meet
with her for a second demonstration.
At Langford, with the assistance OF
Mesdames Eva Rouse and Jennie kersh,
Misses Ora and Polly Bethune, Mayinie
Smith and Amanda Bullock, soup mix
ture. tomatoes and corn were canned.
At Goshen Springs a very busy day
was spent at the hospitable home OF
Mrs. Kate Barksdale. Plums, beans,
tomatoes, pears, beets and soup mix
ture were canned. The local clubs were
well represented and visitors came from
Fannin, Sand Hill and Pisgah. Besides

rumored that a new line of investiga-
ton is being made which aims at an en-
tirely new suspect in the case. Several
witnesses, hitherto unquestioned, were
heard and it is believed testimony OF a
most damaging sort was forthcoming.
There were large number of people
from Clarksburg at Pelahatchie, whose
interest in the poisoned girl led them
to make a personal visit to the scene.
Many rumors are af1oat as to the identi-
ty of the author of the unsigned letter
containing strychnine capsules, some
firmly believing that the deadly missive
was mailed on the train at Pelahatchie
and not at Shreveport, La, as was at
first thought.
The father Of the young man suspect
ed of being responsible for the girls
shame, has number of letters which
he will offer to the court of inquiry,
which. it is said, would show that it
would have been impossible for his son
to have mailed the letter at the place
and time alleged.
The findings of this investigation are
being awaited with the greatest eager
ness, as it is believed that the investi-
gators have unearthed new evidence
which incriminates party hitherto un-
suspected of any completely in the
crime. The investigation is still going
on vigorously and will continue for sew
eral days.
From sources of authority it is learn

ed positively that the death letter
was mailed by an unknown party on the
train at Vicksburg. Whether the au-
thorities know who mailed the letter is
not known. If they do they are keep
ing it profound secret.
So far the jury has come only to the
conclusion that the girl died as result
of taking strychnine capsules sent to
her in letter by some unknown party
for the purpose of causing her death.
Those at work on the case are ex-
ceedingly reticent about discussing the
details of information which has come
to them. They are hopeful, however,
Of solving the mystery within the next
fewdays. So far no arrests have been
ordered.
