BuRKE,S CONFESSION.

CHICAGO, Nov. LIN the alleged con-
fession of Burke told by prisoner Gill
lct,c at Winnipeg yesterday, a man en-
ploycd by one McGinnis, fish dealer in
this city, was implicated. McGinnis
was interviewed to-day and said he did
not know who the man could
bo unless 1t was Joseph Keenan,,
one of the indicted jury bribers,
who, McGinnis said, worked for
him last season. Keenan, when inter-
viewed, said he hadn't been near Nc
Ginnis for two years and knew nothing
of the prisoners on trial. Suspicion was
then transferred to another employe
named Cooncy, but the police this even
ing announced he had no connection
with the matter.
The chief of police has taken up that
part of Gilloltc's story in which he
speaks of the nurdcrcrs getting money
In an office on Dearborn street, and also

PIPES FOR PURE SMOKING.
Awful Trouble liable To Come From
Smoking os Cigars.

Under the heading of "Fumcz Ia Pipe"
Swiss journal has the following.
A celebrated specialist for diseases of
the throat, nose md car asserts that
tuberculosis is making alarming progress
among cigar smokers. He does not ut
tribute this to the use of tobacco, but to
the manner in which cigars aro manu-
factured. Rollingt the tobacco leaf is n
craft that requires aeither strength nor
intelligence, consequently in this branch
of the operation 1t b usual to find male
and female Operatives who are weak and
diseased, and wh), in consequence of
their infrmitics, are economical en-
ploycs. Most of these suffer from scor-
fula or tuberculosis They cough, and
often give tho finishing touch TO u cigar
with their lips. lfKoch is right, all who
smoke cigars thus manipulated introduce
into their bodies the bacillp of tubercu-
losis. lflthe "sdl' is favorable, the
bacillG prosper, and ''phthisis" is pres
emily the result of smoking these cigars.
The moral drawn from oil this is
'Fumez Ia Pipe" because the tobacco
does not come In contact or direct COM
munication with any OF the respiratory
organs, and also because II has not been
manipulated, like the cigars, by the
hands and lips ol diseased work people.

to Oregon, arriving here year and

mas he was committed to the in
sane asylum here, but escaped
to Vancouver, where he en-
listed. DESERVING, he arrived in
Salem a few days ago, bent upon push
ing his crazy suit. He entered the
school-house and approached Miss Knox,
who repulsed his advances, but being
strong, he threw her down, and would
no doubt have accomplished his pur-

The advent of the railroad will hasten

society has become established there
which imagined itself so completely cut
off from the great outside world of prog
ress and development that 1t would
never be disturbed, but In moment, as
ii were, the headlight has flashed from
one end of this rich and beautiful valley
to tho other, and broken up its fancied
seclusion forever. .Iore than half u con.
tury ago the Hudson Bay Company
traversed all this country In search oi
skins and furs, and one its posts was
established a little north of the Colville
Columbia. One of the old
stockadcs built for defense against
the Indians by the companys agents Is
standing there to-day. The Catholic
missionaries came along with the trap
pcrs, and nn old mission church, built OF
logs and OF n strange, foreign architect
urc, stands quarter of n mile from the
remnant OF the post. A few miles away,
at Myers falls, in tho Colville river, are
tho fragments of a wator.miil. built III
1915 by the Hudson Bay people, and nj

north of the Catholic missions, founded
by Father Junipcro in Southern Calior-
mia between l76o and ls0U. Many of the
trappers settled in the rich Colville val
| ley and inter-married with the Indians.
Most of-thcm were French Canadians,
and all of them, or nearly all of them,
were Catholics. Indians and whites,
therefore, quickly came under the rclig-
ious dominion of the Catholic church.
The old mission buildings were soon
found too small, and two larger and
complete establishments were erected
farther up the valley, and nearer the
present town of Colville, Here were cs.
tablished school for boys and school
for girls, The pupils were half.brccds
and full-bloolcd Indians, and this re-
ligious and educational mission has been
the sole enlightenng influence in that
extensive region for throo.qllarters of d
century. As a result the Indians wore
