Executive Mansion. Aug. II, 80.
To the People of Cuba
The disorganized condition of
your island resulting from the
war and the absence of any gen

from the temporary military con

and supervision to the successive
steps by which you will proceed
to the establishment of an effac.
tive system of elf,government.
As preliminary step in the
performance Of this duty | have
directed that a census of the peo
pie OF Cuba be taken and have
appointed competent and disin-
tere>ted citizens of Cuba as emu
m"ra'"rS and supervisors.
II is important for the proper
arrangement Of your new govern
mcni that the information sought
should be fully and accurately
gwen, and ! request that by every
means in your power you aid the
officers appointed. in the perfor-
nance Of their duties.

Ed Hayes Murdered and Body
Hidden in the River.

J. A. h. in The State.
Greenville, Aug. 31.-A grew.
some story comes from Tigervllle.
in the upper section Of the coun.
ty. While walking yesterday on
the farm of Joseph Mckinney, =,
near Tigerville, Luthur Mckinney
made the discovery of a human
head severed from the body and
numerous dog tracks were near
the place where the awful discov.
cry was made. He reported the
CHASTITY find to some of his neigh.
bors at once and they followed
the dog tracks to the river not
far away, where they found a
mans leg protruding above the
water, and on further investiga.
tion they brought up the headless
body with only the stump of the
neck where the head belonged. 1t
was at once believed that the
body was that of Ed Hayes, a far
mer who lived in that neighbor
hood, and who disappeared sud
denly and mysteriously three or
four weeks ago. Search had been
made for Hayes and no trace of
him was discovered unless the
headless trunk belonged to him.
The dogs had eaten the flesh off
the face so that it could not be
identified, and other means had
to be found to prove that Hayes
fate was made known.
Magistrate Gullick was notified
of the occurrence and organized
a jury of inquest, which was in
vestgating the matter to day. Mr..
Gullick could not be reached uu-
til night, and he says over the
phone that the inquest was ad-
journed late this afternoon after
finding q verdict to the effect
that the man was Ed Hayes and
that he came to his death by
pistol shot at the hands o. James
Sudduth. The Investigation was
tedious and the evidence some
what vague, but the jury was sat
lsfied that Ed Hayes received his
death wound from Sudduth, with
whom he was on unfriendiy
terms. One witness testified that
Sudduth said he shot twice at
Hayes and the second time he
shot to kill. The dead man was
shot In the back from his right
eide, and the ball went through
his liver and lodged in the left
breast. Hayes was identified by
means of his clothing, and each
garment was inspected and clear
ly proven. No papers were found
on the body, and the pockets of
his clothing were empty. Hayes
disappeared on the Sth Of August
from his home, which ia not more
than a quarter of a mile from
Tiger river, and the body was "
ing in the edge Of the stream Just
where a ditch empt,es into 1t,
covered with sand and corn
stalks. The skull was some dio-
tance down the river, and TIE
men who made the search waded
the stream until they found the
body.
Sudduth is at home sick with
fever, and his physician reported
his temperature this afternoon at
101. Magistrate Gullick issued
warrant for his arrest immediate
ly after the verdict was rendered.
and his constabl pl" ced Sudduth
In custody without delay. The
magistrate is .enquiring Of the

ONE WIDE RIVER TO CROSS.
The Commiss oner Win BE Asked to Fur
nish a Way Over 1t.

Hamilton, June "a very knotty
problem has confronted the business
men of Hamilton and the residents of
the west side ever since the Hamilton
bridge went OUT, and that is, how are
the people on the west side to get
across the swollen Bitter Root river?
And now. to make matters worse,
comes the report that few warm
days will render the Corvallis bridge
impossible. The west side is a thickly
settled section, and the absence of
bridge in the vicinity of Hamilton is
great inconvenience to them. Tomor
row large delegation of business men
of the town will wait on the county
commissioners. who are now in regular
session, and urge that the commission
ers provide some sort of means by
which the west side population can
cross to the county seat. 1T has been
suggested that a cable ferry be put in
operation at a point near where the
bridge formerly stood. 1t is argued
that such a ferry will more than likely
be necessary before the high water is
over, and that the commissioners
might as we'll be prepared for any
emergency.

MISSOULA NOTES.

Is the worst they ever saw.
Too much water on Higgins avenue
and too little on Toole avenue-this is
the problem that confronts the city
council
While there may not be as much of
the Bitter Root berry this year as us
ual, what there is of it will be of the
same old quality-hard to beat.
Wednesday will be commencement
day at the university. 1t will also be
the beginning of the trouble of the
county commissioners with the toll
road.
1t is safe bet that there will be an
other new time card on the Northern
Pac1hc in short time. The present
one has been in effect about as long as
cards have lasted lately.
If the commencement week that is
just closing at the state university is
any indication of what future occasions
OF the same kind are to be, the institu-
ton has many happy summers to look
forward to.
The great three-ring circus that is
billed for the last of the month will not

Used in the Fourth ward If the alder
men do not act upon the water main
resolution soon.
The substitute for field day sports at
the state university this year proved
amusing and entertaining, but the
Standard divulges no secret when it
states that the public hopes that next
year the athletic grounds will be in
shape for the regular programme.

While the branch has usually had sew

the line has not been open until this
last accident. The record is of the best

Adams. The case so closely connect
ed that they can scarcely be considered
separately.
The proceeds of the final days in the
inquest were sensational in the highest
degree. The case had dragged along
monotonousIy, witnesses being exam
ined for the sole purpose. as it seemed,
of contradicting Harry Cornish's tes-
timony in minor details or Of eliciting
suggestions as to a motive that might
have led Cornish to commit the crime.
The newspapers from the beginning
had stuck to Molineux as the person
most to be suspected, but the prose-
cutting officials apparently never har-
bored such a thought. The examiner
was kind and gentle when MollneuX
was on the stand; gruff and severe
when dealing with Cornish.
The curtain rose on the last act Of
the melodrama this afternoon. A
shopkeeper who rented private letter
boxes, swore positively that Molineux
was his patron, using the name Of
Harry Cornish" and OF II. G. Bar

ties of medicine had been sent to that
letter box.
Then the handwriting experts were
called, and one after another declared

a box was rented in the name Of
Harry Cornish" was the first wit
ness. He testified that he only saw
the man who rented IL once. He gave
the rame OF IL. Cornish. Koch says
he is near-sighted and did not think he
could identify the man who rented the
box He had never called for mail.
and the only time he had been to

said three pieces of mail had arrived

QUAYs TRIAL.
Another Postponement Granted by Judg,
BETTER Until April 10.

Philadelphia, Feb. 27.-On motion OF
District Attorney Rothemal, the Quay
conspiracy trial has been postponed I'M
til April 10.
Counsel for defendants objected to
pcstponements and stated to the court
that they had summoned witnesses and
lad gone to considerable trouble 10
prepare their case, and desired imme-
date trial. Judge BETTER, however,
granted the motion OF sne district at
tcrney for a poStponement and fixed
April 10 as the date.
The postponement Of the trial created
a sensation among The Legislators and
politicians. Capt. James NJ. Clark,
who is in charge at the Quay headquar-
tors, says 1t is an outrage. He claims
Senator Quay was ready and anxious to
go ahead with the trial, and that his
friends had every assc<ance that he
would be honorably acquitted. Senator
Meredith, a strong Quay man, says
the postponement means the election OF
Senator Quay this week.
Capt. VIM. Hasson, one III the House
democratic leaders, is confident Dis
trict Attorney Rothsmal had good rea-
son to ask that the case go over, and
says the postponement viii have no eff
feet on the senatorial deadlock EXCEPT
to prolong it until after the trial This
seems to be the general opinion of the
leaders of the faction and party OPP
posed to Senator Quay.
