continue. With the regular
Republicans voted 14 of the
insurgent following of Norris,
, Nebraska, who lef t him and
sided cwith the majority for
a postponement The result,
they said, conveyed no signi

else than that .they . had de

of the big clock above the
Speaker's desk pointed to the
hour of 4:48 when the Speaker
-put the motion to adjourn
and a general chorus of ayes
came from the Republican
side. I The Democrats made
no protest and there was no

showed the effects of the long

Representative Underwood
was specific as to what atti-

expected to take when the
House convenes to-morrow.
"If the regulars and insur-

Land That Has Never Changed Title.
The 88-acre tract of .land on
which Joseph Bennett lives, a mile
and a half north ot Wingate, has
never changed title or been trans-
ferred except by inheritance sipce
it was granted by the government
to one settler from Virginia by
the name of Chestnut about the
year 1720. Mr. Bennett, who now
owns and lives on the land, was
born and reared and passed his
life up to his present age of 82 on
the place, as did Mb father before
him to the age of seventy. Mr.
Bennett is the father of eighteen
children, twelve of whom grew up
on the place. It is not likely
that there is another tract in the
county with such a record, Mon

Uucie Sam Wants to Stanpardize Shipment

Washington, D. 0., March SI.
Special . Uncle Sam is formula

sumer of apples from the dishon
est orchardists, who in the past
have been in the habit of 4'facing"
the tops and bottoms of the. bar
rels or boxes containing the fruit,
with fancy stock and filling in the
remainder with "culls." The
idea is, too, to establish a uniform
standard as to the lize of a box
or barrel which may be used in
shipping apples from one state to
another, so that the buyers may
know just what be is getting, in
the way of quantity, when he
purchases a barrel or & box of
fruit.
Tne committee on Agriculture
has recently given growers, pack
ers, shippers and commission men
ample opportunity to express their
views on the pending bill, intro
duced by Mr. Lafean of Pennsyl
vania and these hearings have
developed the fact that all inter-
ested in apple growing in the
Eastern, Middle and Southern
sections of the country are satis
fied with the proposition to estab
lish standard grades and standard

precipitated the strike, was a mis

that while there had been plenty
of talk of peace there had not yet
been any definite statement from
the company of what it was will

The committee of ten having
oharge of the sympathetic strike
to-day continued its preparations
for a State-wide, strike and an
