Suspenders Made From the Tanned
Skin of a Murderer Executed
at Missoula.
Ten-Year-Old Scandal Involving Of
fcials in the Disposition Of a
Body Is Just Out.

Special to The Journal.
Missoula. Mont, Sept. 6.-Missoula is
shaken to the center by informa ton that
leaked out to-day after a guarded silence
Of ten years. 1t pertains to the most
unusual disposition of the body of a man
hanged here for murder in 1892 and in
wolves several prominent persons.
The reliability of the news Is vouched
for by nephew of the trial judge. who
alleges that the remains passed through
most peculiar process.
After they had been taken from the gal
lows and placed In the hands of the coun-
ty physician, scheme to secure souvenirs
not excelled by the audacity of collector
OF to-day was Matched and carried out.
To the sheriff Of the county, William H
Houston, went a pair Of suspenders manu-
featured from the tanned skin Of the
hanged man; Attorney Joseph K. Wood,
late district attorney at Nome, drew a
pair OF slippers. also made of the tanned
human skin. The head Of the dead man
is said to be in the possession Of DR.. Han
son OF Butte, the county physician, pre-
served and lifeike. Another man secured
a pocketbook from the skin, and to dozen
others went parts Of the anatomy.
The man whose body was so widely
distributed was known locally as John
Burns, but thought to be Hugh Harring-
ton, an eastern crook, who CHANGED to be
IN town and quarreled with a man who
gave information Of an attempt to rob a
business house. Maurice Higgins, the son
of millionaire banker, interfered and
was shot and killed.
Burns, or Harrington, was arrested.
tried and speedily condemned to DEATH.
He was remarkable man and had some
remarkable relatives. A sister and her
husband came to the trial, and attended
all proceedings, not emitting the hanging,
but by no sign did they communicate a
relationship or acquaintance with the de-
PENDANT Without a tear or display Of
visible affection, the sister witnessed the
hanging, and not for several years was
the relationship Of the mysterious pair
who attended the case with the prisoner
known. -7~-

c1ally to out Of town visitors.
The showing of basket work from the
Minneapolis school has received the same
unanimous chorus Of praise that was SO
noticeable during the N. E. A. meeting.
An especially interesting point in connec-
ton with the collection of work in bas-
kerry shown by Mrs. l.. F. Tinsley is the
use Of native materials that can be pro-
vided easily in any place without expense!
The baskets made of cat tail stalks were
especially pretty; the corn husk and
willow withe baskets, strong and service
able. The lessons given by Mrs. Tinsley
have undoubtedly furnished the leaven
for wider spreading Of the popular bas-,
kerry craze as a pleasant and interesting
variety of fancy work that can be turned
to many useful purposes.

1t Is known as the Iowa Idea.' Very
simple, very practical, it is. One short
sentence will suffice to express it:
: Whenever the tariff is a prop to
monopoly, knock it out.

"A broader statement of it might be
correct, viz, whenever combination at
home destroys competition in a protected
article, remove the protection and thus
induce competition from abroad.
There is nothing complex about this.
A schoolboy can understand it.
Under the leadership of two or three
men this idea has become the slogan of
Iowa republicanism. What the republican
party Of a state like Iowa stands for, the
republican party of the nation must give
heed to. Already many anxious and in
Quiring eyes are turned toward Iowa. The
idea is beginning to attract attention. 1t
is not strictly new idea. Last year it
was first promulgated at the Cedar Rapids
convention. This year it was reaffirmed.
Now appears what the French are fond
Of calling the psychological moment, the
public mind, not only in Iowa but else
where, is in "a state Of receptiveness.
There is general unrest on the tariff
question and the trust question. The two
questions run together In one in many
minds and many. applications.
Here to Stay.
Nov come the Iowa republicans with
their offering to the national party. They
are in earnest about it. They intend to
press their idea this year, and next year
and the year after that, until something
shall be done about it. 1t will not be long
till the whole country realizes that the
republicans of this, the greatest agricul-
tural community in the world, have sug-
gested a principle and plan which can
not be disposed Of with a shrug Of the
shoulders or an appeal to the comfortable
doctrine Of letting well enough alone.
Zone Is amazed to find how earnest
these prairie republicans are, and how
we'll united they are. The Iowa repub-
lican who is now speaker of the national
house was slow to see the merits Of the
idea, but he has seen them. So OF divers
other Iowa representatives IN congress.
At Washington they had become tinctured
with shrewd Mark Hanna's keep on let
ting well enough alone but when they
came home they found the zeal of their
farmer constituents too strong to be
withstood. They tried to prevent reaf-
frnatton Of the mo shelter to monopoly
plank. and were beaten for their pains.
Thursday they met in conference and
the enthusiasm Of the masses knocked out
their IFS and butts To-day the re-
publicans of Iowa are substantially united
in advocacy of the Iowa idea. 81
True to the Principle.
iowa republicans believe their idea is
orthodox, but progressive republicanism
| They believe it is rational, practical, eth
ical based on justice and truth and
therefore sure to survive. Naturally some
misunderstanding have arisen. Even a
simple idea is not grasped by every one
in a moment Down east they are alarmed
because they think Iowa republicansshave
gone over to free trade democracy for
