city, leaves in few days for Land
ore, Idaho, adjacent to The famous
Seven Devils copper district, where
he will superintend the erection of a
smelter, says the Portland Telegram,
work on which is already under way.
The contract for the building calls
for completion by August /, and it
is the expectation of the owners that
the furnaces will be blown in by the
beginning of September.
Official announcement of this de-
cision to erect and operate plant is
the contamination of long cherish

Not to Open the Fair.

Washington, March 10.-President
Roosevelt will not attend the formal
opening OF the Louisiana Purchase
exposition. When President Francis
of the exposition company was in
Washington recently he gave the
President and members of the cabinet
an urgent invitation to attend the
opening exercises of the fair. He
hoped that the President not only
would make it convenient to be pres
ent, but also to participate in the
ceremonies. The President then said
that he probably would not be able
togo to st. Louis at that time. Since
then he has decided that he will not
be able to be present at the opening
OF the fair. 1t is problematical, in
deed, whether the President will visit
the fair at any time, although it is
understood he has not decided de-
finitely not to go to the exposition.

Major Bean, Well Known in Kan

Through His Brain.

Omaha, March 19.-Asking his
wife to play the piano for him, and
while she did SO, Major W. II. Bean,
chief commissary of the department
OF the Missouri, sent a bullet through
his brain this morning, dying in
stantly. The cause assigned for the
rash deed Is bad health He was a
popular officer in the departmentand
only recently had been ordered to
the Philippines. He was to have
sailed June1.
Major Bean had charge OF the CON-
missary arrangements ut both army
maneuvers at Fort Riley. This year
he devoted particular attention to
the headquarters mess and provided
three fine meals a day for several
hundred officers, attaches and favor
ed guests.
For several years Major Bean was
depot commissary and stationed at
Kansas City. He originated many
innovations in commissary affairs
and lately tests we're conducted with
a hash he had planned. Soldiers at

He IS A HUNTER OF LIONS.
The Game Warden of Yellow
stone Park Keeps Busy.

Topeka, March 19.-Charles J ones,
better known as Buffalo" Jones,
game warden Of the Yellowstone Ma
tional park, is visiting his family in
this city, MIR. Jones has been unable
to attend to his duties for nearly u
month as a result OF a spraiued
shoulder incurred while hunting
mountain lions. He has put in his
time visiting old friends in Kansas
and Washington.
at is necessary for us to kill the
mountain lions in the Nationalpark
said MIR. Jones to-day, because they
destroy the other animals. They are
the most destructive creatures with
which We have To deal. A short time
ago | found the bodies of nineteen
elk around the den of one mountain
lion. A lion will kill nothing but bull
elks, and this depreciation makes it
difficult matter to increase the size
OF our herds. There are too few bull
elks now in the herd in the park. The
hunters on the outside OF the park
are allowed by federal statute to kill
the bull elks when the animals stray
outside the limits of the park, and
the hunter and lions are playing
havoc with the herd. We can kill the
Hons, but cannot induce the hunters
to cease their butchery. When /
sprained my shoulder | was chasing
a lion and had started to fall down a
very steep declivity. l caught a tree
with my right hand to break my fall
and tore the ligaments loose from
my shoulder.
"The animals in the park are very
smart. They know the confines of
the government as well as the gov
eminent scouts employed there.
Many of the animals, such as elk
and deer, go outside tine park at
night and return with the first signs
of daylight. 1t is impossible for the
farmers in that vicinity to keep their
forage crops through the winter, as
the animals will break down the
fences and eat the last wisp OF straw,
hay or fodder farmer may be keep
ing for his stock. The farmers can.
not recover damages in cases of this
kind"

SUMMERS OUT IN OMAHA.
Senator Dietrich's Enemy to Be
Removed BY the President.

Washington. March 19.-As a re-

appointed to succeed him.

the federal grand jury in Omaha re,

tor Dietrich for tratlicking in post
masterships. Jacob Fisher, post
master at Hastings, was indicted
also. He was charged with paying
Senator Dietrich for procuring the
postotticeio job forhim. Investigation
indicated that Dietrich had had the
postofflce removed into IA building that
he owned and that there was some
questionable transactions over the
old postoftice furniture. The results
we're principally in Fishers favor,
who moved the postoftice to Die
trich's building and bought new fur.
niture. In his trial Dietrich said he
would clear himself. He didn't, how
ever, but got off on the technicality
that when the deal with Fisher was
made he had not been sworn into the
Senate, although he had been elected.
He then announced that he would
ask for Senate investigation, which
is now in progress.
Mr.. Dietrich charged that he was
indicted through Summers as the re.
suit ofpolitical enmity. He had been
try ing for some time to have Sum-
mers dismissed. He said that Sum-
mers Matched up the scheme in order
to save himself.

GIVES PENSIONS TO
ALL OLD SOLDIERS.
Commissioner Ware Issues Or
ders Giving Veterans Over
81, Sc a Month.

Washington, March 19.-The most
important ruling that has been made
for sometime in pension affairs was
made yesterday, when Commissioner
OF Pensions Ware promulgated with
the approval OF Secretary Hitchcock
the order that all old soldiers over
81 years old would receive a pension
OF SO a month.
The ruling is rs follows:
an adjudication OF pension claims
under said act OF June ~, 1890, az
amended, it shall he taken and con-
sidered as an evidenrial fact, il the
contrary does not appear, and il all
other legal requirements are proper
ly met, that, when claimant has
passed the age OF 60 years, he is dis
abled one'half in ability to perform
manual labor and is entitled to be
rated at SO per month; after 60 years
at So per month; alter 6S years at
SO per month, and after 70 years
at So per month.
This order shall take effect April
13, 1904, and shall not be deemed
retroactive. The former rules OF the
office fixing the minimum and maxi
mum at So years and 10 years, re-
spectively, are hereby modified as
above"
As every soldier who was % years
old at the end OF the war, after four
years fighting, is now 62 years old
and entitled merely by that fact, to
IA pension, it is readily seen that the.
new order practically establishes O.
service pension.

The ground for the ruling is that the
