Poison Ivy.

There a.'c SO many cases Of poisoning
from Rhus toNicoCendrum. or poison
ivy, every year that tie caution to
beware Of it can hardly be repeated
too often. Remember this: Poison ivy
has three leaflets and berries of a dirty
white color. Virginia creeper. which
so much resembles poison ivy in habit
of growth and general appearance, has
five leaflets and purple berries. Just
to bear in mind this simple distinction
makes all the difference between safe
ty and suffering.

OUTLAW SHOT BY POSSE IN
COLORADO.
HIS PICTURE IS IDENTIFIED
Tennessee Sheriff and Others Say
Photographs Shown Them Are
Those Of Logan.

Knoxville, Tenn, July 11.-Towell
F. Spence, a detective employed by a
Chicago agency, has returned to that
city after securing Identification OF
two pictures which he had in his
possession, supposed to be photo
craps of the famous Montana bandit
and train robber, Harvey Logan, alias
kid" Curry.
Early on the morning of June 8,
a gang held up a Denver & Rio
Grande train near Parachute, Colo,
but after blowing open two safes and
shooting one railroad employee, they
secured only $40. A posse of cowboys
was at once organized and chase was
given. In the chase one of the ban
dts was shot from his horse by a cow
boy and as soon as he fell was seen
to shoot himself through the head.
Pictures were taken of the dead man.
Believing the photographs to be

Gals where Logan had been confined
over a year. Sheriff Fox, from
whom Logan escaped, positively iden-
titled the photographs as those OF
Logan. So did Jailer Thomas Bell,
whom Logan held up at the point OF
q pistol while escaping from Jail.
The reward for the bandit has been
variously estimated at between $18,.
600 and 10000. It is probable that
the bandits remains will be exhumed
and further identification established,

his body. When he escaped from the

STORE BREAKER CAUGHT.

Forsyth Officer Arrests Terry Bur.
glar in This City.
Last Thursday night a couple OF
stores at Terry, a small place east OF
Miles City, were entered by burglars,
who, for want of something better,
loaded themselves down. with knives
and razors, and a cheap gold watch
for good measure. In one of the stores
was a valise containing $4,000 in cash.
This was not touched.
Word of the %burglaries was passed
along the line of the Northern Pa
ci1c and the officers at the different
towns ere on their guard for the
thieves. Information received at For
syth caused the sheriff there to believe
that one of the burglars. had passed
through that village, headed west.
Under Sheriff Huff boarded Friday
nights No. 3 and arrived here at 2:3O
O'Clock Saturday morning. Within a
few minutes afterward he had the
suspect in custody and it was only
a little while longer before he had
a full confession from the prisoner.
a mere boy, who gave his name as
R. Menchenson.
BY a strange coincidence the pris.
oner and the officer rode on the same
train, with the difference that Mr.
HUFF occupied a seat in one of the
coaches, while Menchenson had stow.
ed himself away on the roof of one
OF the cars. Menchenson got off and
hid about the platform until the train
was ready to leave, when the under
sheriff saw him climbing back 10 his
hiding place. A revolver pointed at
him caused the boy to change his
mind and he returned to the platform
and submitted to arrest.
After Mr.. Huh's participation in the
search for the man who was seen in
the Northern kitchen he took his
prisoner to the police station. Here
a large number of knives and razors
were found on M%enchenson and were
identified as some of those stolen al
Terry. The boy, who is only 16 years
old, then confessed and is said to
have given the names of the men who
assisted in the two burglaries.
Mr.. Hun returned east Saturday
forenoon with his prisoner and sail
that he was quite confident more ar.
rests would soon follow.

ble-Miners Held on MUIR
der Charge.

Cripple Creek, Colo, July 11.-Pearl
Shelton was brought to this city to-
day on a warrant charging him with
the murder of the Ia men at Indepen-
dence, June 6. Shelton, who left Grip
pie Creek after the explosion, was
arrested on the Medal ranch, in Pueblo
county. Sheriff Bell said Shelton had
talked a great deal about the explo.
sion, but he did not know what evil
dence there was to connect him with
tie crime. Shelton maintains inno-
n and said he would prove it.
A direct information was today
filed charging Frank Cochran, secre-
tary of the Victor Miners union, Ar.
thur Parker, Thomas Millinus, Rich
ard James, John P. Ames, Edward
McKelvey and Alfred Miller with con-
spiracy to kill Roscoe MCGEE, who was
shot and instantly killed in the Victor
straet fight on June 6. All of these
men are now in Jail here.
The warrant for SHELTON was sworn
to by Sheriff Bell, who had received
information that Shelton had been
boasting that he knew who caused the
explosion at independence. Shelton
was a member of the Free Coinage
Miners union and had worked in ev-
eral mines in the district.

Russia is a great country.
Her present territory is three
times greater than that of the
United States. Her population
is 10000, 900. There is no ma
ton so unified, so organic, and
this unity is not only govern
mental but geographic. What
ever she takes she assimilates.
The evident mission of Russia
is to spread over all the world,
and convert everything to the
temporal dominion of the Car
and the spiritual dominion of the
Greek church. So, in time of
peace, confident of his manifest
destiny" that great nation is
always preparing for war.
While taking the lead in the
great peace measure known as
the Hague tribunal, Russia was
making unusual warlike prerara-
tions; was preparing to strike
little Japan out of national exist
ence and take possession of her
territory, and of Korea at the
same time. Already the Russian
flag waves over Poland, Finland,
part of Turkey, Siberia, Khiva
and Bokara. The Car has long
been looking with greedy eyes
upon India, Persia, Afghanistan
and China. But when he began
to tighten his grip on Manchuria,
Japan, fully aware of his inten-
tions, sprang to arms; and unless
his advance is checked by Japan
or by the united forces of the
civilized nations, his progress
will end only with the conquest
of Asia and all eastern Europe.

To Prevent Accidents.

Some months ago there was
considerable feeling among the
men working for the Southern
Pacific, more especially the engin-
eers because false signals were
given them. An engineer would
be pulling his train along and find
a stop, or slow down, or some
other signal at an unexpected
place. He would answer the
signal and find a man who would
tell him to go on, he was all right.
Again the engineer might be
called up on the carpet and asked
why he did not heed a certain
signal at a certain time. He
would have to own up ne never
saw it, and then listen to a dis
course on watchfulness, and be
told that he was hired to watch
out and heed signals. The men
did not like it. 1t has now come
out that this was done by person
al order of Mr. Hartman. He
had investigated the cause of
many accidents, and found that
a large per centage of them
were caused by carelessness, and
he concluded that he would find
out how many of his men were
careless. The first series of ex-
periments showed that 62.4 per
cent Of the signals were needed.
The work was continued and the
men from Portland to New Or
leans learned that they had got
to keep their eyes open, and
watch out for signals at any old
place, for an accident is liable to
happen at any old place, and
there is where a signal is impor-
tant. In October there were 932
signal tests on the system, and
only five failures, making a per-
centage of 99.5, which is consid-
erded very satisfactory. 1t is
probable that the signal tests
will be continued often enough
to keep the men alive to their
duty.

Only One Vote.

The Importance of one vote was
never more signally demonstra-
ted than in 1901. Suppose that
just one of the 73 presidential
electors who declared for both
Jefferson and Burr had cast for
somebody else the vote he gave
to Jefferson. There would have
been no tie, the election would
not have been transferred to the
house of representatives, and
Aaron Burr and not Thomas jeff.
erson would have been president
of the United States.

After the Standard Oil Co.

President Roosevelt has order
ed the Department of Commerce
to thoroughly investigate the pc
troleum industry of the United
States. The object is to ascer-
tain whether the Standard Oil
company is an illegal combina-
tion in restraint of trade.
The bureau of corporations
will make the investigation.
James R. Garfield, commissioner
of corporations, and a personal
friend of the Presidents, is to
have charge. The investigation
is to be more thorough than any
trust inquiry yet begun.
The President, it is stated, has
determined that the Standard Oil
monopoly shall be broken, and
anticipating a long hard fight, he
has issued instructions that it be
begun Immediately in order that
it may be completed before his
term of Office expires. The pros
ecution would have been inaugu-
rated last summer had .ot the
Presiden feared his action would
be criticised as having been due
TO political motives.

The Right To Vote.

Referring to the franchise laws
recently enacted by some of the
southern states, the Morning
Journal says:
The right to vote is not natu-
raj right. 1t is a right conferred
by the state, and the national
constitution leaves to the several
states the privilege of prescrib-
ing their own terms, merely pro-
viding that the same conditions
must apply to all alike that is,
that every man shall have a fair
deal." "
Therefore those southern states
which have made illiteracy a bar
to the suffrage, without attempt
ing to discriminate for or against
illiterates on account of color or
race, are not only acting fully
within their constitutional rights,
but are setting an example in the
line of political safety and politi,
cal saneness which every vel
wisher of his country should de.
sire to see followed by every state
in the Union.
