party. They have ten dogs. One died
crossing the ocean, another died yes

IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Idaho Laid the Corner Stone of
the Soldiers Home.
ALL THE BIG PEOPLE THERE
Judge Huston Delivered an Eloquent Ora.
ton and McCOnn Was There and
Made II speech.

The ceremony of laying the corner
stone of the Soldiers home at Boise
was the occasion for the largest demon
stration ever held in Idaho. So care
fully were all the plans matured by
Secretary Curtis that no jar or break
marred the proceedings, but everything
passed off nicely. The corner stone
was laid by the grand lodge of Masons
of Idaho, James A. Plnney, grand
master.
At O'Clock p. m. the procession was
formed on Fifth street under the direc-
ton of Gen. John Green, United States
troors accompanying as an escort to
Governor Mcconnell, who headed the
procession, which was two miles long.
The knight. Templar, Knights of Pyth-
las, Canton Odd Fellows, Grand Lodge
of Masons. Grand Army men, all decked
with their handsome uniforms, with
banners floating and swords flashing in
the sun, marching to patriotic airs, fol.
lowed by long line of carriages, pre-.
scented brilliant spectacle.
Arriving at the grounds, r. H. Bar.
ton, commander of the department of
Idaho, delivered an eloquent address of
welcome. The corner stone was then
laid according to the beautiful and i'm.
pressive Masonic ritual. Grand Master
Pinuey conducted the ceremonies.
Judge ]. w. Huston delivered the ora.
tion, holding the large crowd with
breathless attention by his impassloned
oratory. 1.-THE home," he said, "was a
partial fulfillment of the republic. 1t
was the emblem of the nations graft.
tude to Its defenders" He drew a
vivid contrast between the Roman sol.
der who fought for glory and the
American soldier who offered his life
for principle. The orator was frequent.
ly interrupted by hearty applause.
Governor Mcconnell spoke briefly,
pointing out the credit Idaho merits,
which sent no soldiers into the field in
the hour of the nations peril, but,
though the youngest o: Columbia's fair
daughters, she had erected such a hand
some structure for the WORKOUT de-
tenders of the nations honor.
The occasion was graced by the pres
ence of the judges of the supreme court,
Mayor Soma and the members of the
city council, the members of tue legis-
lature and large number of promi.
nent visitors from all parts ef the
state.
The home when completed will &C
commodate 100 inmates and will add
another to the creditable list of Idaho's
handsome public buildings located at
Boise.

THEY STRUNG HIM UP.

Livingston vigilantes Try to Extort Con-
f.ssion From Il Negro.
The following special from Living
ston appeared in the Anaconda Stand
ard:
At about IL o'clock last night mob
of fifteen heavily masked citizens took
Eugene Turner, 17-year.old colored
lad from his bed, placed rope around
his neck aud by stringing him up sew
eral times forced him to acknowledge
that he robbed the postof1ice Sunday
night. Asked what he did with the
money, he said he gave 1t to Charles
Williams, colored.
The mob then repaired to the New
York house, called Williams from his
bed. anc with a rope around his neck
rushed him through the rain in his
night clothes to Coughner's lumber
ward, not more than two blocks from
the postoffice. With eyes starting from
their sockets he pleaded for his life,
and strenuously maintained that he
knew nothing about the robbery. ThU
next second he was jerked from his
feet into the air. Upon being lowered
he again denied any knowledge of the
affair. Again he was strung up, and
the mob kept him in the air this tine
till he was more dead than alive. AS
soon as he was able to speak he again
denied that he was the guilty party.
Becoming convinced that the Turner
lad lied about it, the mob then escorted
Williams back to his room and ordered
him to Stay till they called for him.
What the mob did with Turner is not
known. The boy has not since been
seen.
Williams is an honest, hard working
man, and proposes to swear out war
rants for would-be vigilantes whom he
says he knows. The pseudo lynching is
denounced in no measured terms as an
outrage.

COXEYITES TO MEET.
Leaders to Gather in Des MOihes to form-
ulatc 4 National Organization.

Leaders to Gather in Des MOines to FORM
ulatc Il National Organization.
DEs MONIES, May GA scheme is on
foot to perpetuate the commonweal
movement. A meeting Of the leaders
will be held in Des Moines soon to form
a national association. The Olney
brothers and others of 507 Mulberry
street, have charge of the local end OF
the movement, and this evening at
meeting in Trades Assembly hall many
laboring men signed an agreement TO
Join the contemplated association.
The Olney brothers say there are al
ready local associations in San Fran
cisco, Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake City,
Ogden, Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Paul.
Cleveland, Columbus, and in fact many
of the large cities of the country. They
say that the order, which is to be OF a
political nature, will be as rapid in its
growth as the A. p. A., but, unlike that
order, will have nothing to do with re-
ligious subjects. 1t will invite the la
boring and poorer classes to gather
and force congress and state legisla-
lures to accede to their demands.
Within two or three days a call will be
issued for 4 national convention to be
held here, at which some fifty promot-
ers of the movement, which they say
will sweepthe country and exterminate
the two old political parties, will be
present and form a national association.
The association already has 500 men,
bers in Dcs Moines. 1t is proposed to
have county, state and national bodies
and, according to the two brothers, it is
the biggest movement of the masses
this country has ever seen. OF course
General j B. Weaver and his friends
are in it, but as yet are in the back
ground.

OSNES Is TO SWING,

GA Friday, Jane ~ lie ]. to Pay the Pcn-
atty Of His Crime.
GREAT FALLS, May GA special from
Benton states that John H. Osnes, found
guilty Of the murder of Ole Lilledart
last March, has been sentenced to be
banged Friday, June 90, between the
hours of 10 a. m. and 5 o'clock p. m.
JUICE DuBose pronounced the SEN
terce in stern and hrm voice, and the
utmost silence prevailed in the court
room during the formal proceedings.
When asked whether he had any rea-
son to give why sentence should not be
passed upon him. Osne's counsel stated
that "all the reason was that the de-
PENDANT thought the two principal wit
nesses were prejudiced against him."
Throughout tie ordeal Osnes was abso-
lutely devoid of emotion.
After being sentenced he was hand
cuffed to deputy sheriff and went to
Jail with cool smile on his face. The
large court room was crowded with
spectators and when formal sentence
had been pronounced, sigh of relief
went up from those who had watched
from the day the formal charge of MUIR
der had been made against the prisoner.
The crime was one of the most brutal
ever perpetrated in Montana and the
evidence proved beyond doubt that Lii
ledart had been lured out into the coun-
try and deliberately killed for the small
amount of money on his person. The
Indignation CT the people was so great
at the discovery of the crime that it
was feared that the burly runlan would
be lyncEed, but wise counsel prevailed
and the law will be allowed TO take its
course.

PLOT NIPPED IN THE BUD.

Huns Accused Of Securing Enough Giant
Powder to Blow Up City.
WhKEsBARRE, Pa Nav 27.-A plot
which, for downright fendishness, was
never equalled in the annals of crime
Ia this section of the country was
nipped in the bud Saturday, through
the confession of one of the keystone
colliery rioters, who tola the story to
the detectives. The detectives will
not give the name of their informant
but there can be no doubt as to the
truthfulness of his story. He said that
the strikers had secured nine kegs of
giant powder, almost enough to destroy
one-half of this city, and secreted them
near the house of Foreman Heslops.
Had it not been for the arrest of the
ringleaders of Fridays riot, it was the
intention of the strikers to put the
powder under the houses of all the
bosses of the mines and set them off.
The result would have been something
terrible, taking into consideration that
the families of the bosses number
nearly 100 persons. Despite this evi.
dence against the ringleaders of the
riotous Hungarians, the six men who
were taken into custody in the morning
were in the afternoon admitted to bail
They will be closely watched by the
detectives to see that no powder is Sc
cured. The nine kegs the strikers in.
tended to use are now in possession of
the officers,

ABSORBED CITY FUNDS.

Cashier Thompson Did Not COnline His
Operations to Banks.
SEDAL1A, Mo-, May 2G.-Developments
indicate that the total of J. c. Thomp.
sons populations will reach into the
hundreds of thousands. In 1889 the
Sedalia school board issued $40, 900 In
bonds to take up former issues of bonds,
and appointed Thompson, cashier of
the First National Bank, their hnan-
cial agent. Thompson redeemed the
old bonds, but used them as collateral
for loans and kept the money. Legal
opinion is that the city must houidate
both issues. Similar crooked trans
actions comes to light as the inquiry by
Bank Examiner Latimer progresses.
