OF THE PIONEERS
Sheridan EntcrtainS Founders of YAM
hills GreatnesS---SenatOr
Booths Address

The annual meeting Of the Yamhill
County Pioneers Association met at
Sheridan June 4. The morning was
cloudy and threatened rain, but about
noon the clouds broke away and the
afternoon was an ideal one for an oht-
door entertainment. The attendance
was quite large.
The meeting was held in the city
park, a beautiful oak grove on the ont
skirts Of the town. James Odds, presi'
dent Of the association, presided at the
meeting. The Sheridan band furnished
music for the association, and won high
praise for the excellence Of their per-
Torrance.
Tho invocation by Rev. II. L. Jones
Of Amity, was followed by an address
Of welcome by Mayor Simpson. This
was responded to by Captain o. @. APP
plegate, who ehaneed to be passing
through Sheridan en- route TO the Grand
Ronde Indian reservation. The annual
address by Senator Booth Of Lane eoun.
~, was an able presentment Of the
salient features Of oregon's early his
tory, an estimate Of the historical value
of the pioneer work, and a touching
tribute to his father and mother as rep
re~sentatives of the pioneer men and
women.
"
Mrs. M. L. Bardon, as the representa-
tive Of the Native Daughters Of Ore
gon, delivered an excellent address. In
the absence Of Hon. Lee Laughlin, O..

cal views in her own circle Of society.
II is not known how many converts 10
nihilism she made, but it is certain that
she succeeded in injecting two of her
more intimate friends with her own
political beliefs.
These two friends were Princess
Tenichef and Miss Trepoh. The prin-
cess was 23 years of age and a member
of one of the Oldest and most prominent
families Of the Russian aristocraey.
Her father, Prince T~enieheff, is one Of
the greatest land owning magnates in
Russia. His daughter, who was a girl
Of unusual intelligence and striking
beauty, was the recognized heiress Of
a fortune Of slO,OOO,OOO and to estates
covering fully $4,000 acres. Princess
Teniehef, nevertheless, became as keen
a nihilist as Miss Leontief.
Miss Trepoff was the niece Of the
ultra reaetionary governor'general Of
st. Petersburg, General Trepof. Her
father is a high oflelal IN the RUSSIAN
ministry of war. She associated in the
highest circles Of Russian society.
The trio discussed schemes for the
regeneration of their country Miss
Leontieff suggested that it would be a
magnificent achievement if three young
women Of noble families were to hber'
ate Russia by assassinating the ezar.
She urged that the car was really the
cause Of Russia's present troubles.
Some Of his relatives, the majority Of
his ministers and many other reliable
advisers had begged him to introduce
political reform but the ear obstinate
ly refused to take any steps in this d.
reetion and elung persistently to his

tense Of going for a walk, proceeded
in a droschky to q point outside the
capital, and threw herself in front Of
the incoming express from Moscow.
She Was killed on the spot and her re.
mains were fearfully mangled.
Almost at the same time the Princess
Tenichef blew her brains out with a
revolver in the garden surrounding her
fathers residence in st. Petersburg.
The discriminating letters and docu-
ments which gave the police all the in
formation now in their possession were
found among Princess T~enicheff's be.
longings.
The discovery Of these documents
will seal Miss Leontief's fate. They
leave no doubt whatever that she com
spired in grim earnest TO assassinate
the ear. The explosives in her posses
sion supply the remaining evidence to
convict her Of this serious crime. In
evitably she win be hanged.

A PLOT
TO KILL
THE CAR
Two Young Russian Ladies
Commit Suicide When Their
Plans are Discovered

The arrest of Miss Leontieh, the
daughter Of General Leontieff, formerly
governor general Of Kharkof, at st.
Petersburg, followed by the suicide Of
two other young ONE of high soeie-
ty in Russia, the Princess Tenieheff and
Miss Trepoff, niece Of the governor
general Of st. Petersburg, ought to con
vince the ear more effectively than
any other recent events in Russia, that
his methods Of governing Russia are
driving his subjects to desperation.
These young women, all members Of
good families, all brought up amid
wealth and luxury and all in possession
OF the advantages Of a western Euro,
Pean education, eoneoeted a plot to
Assassinate the emperor Of Russia.
Miss Leontieff, at the time Of her ar
fest, was within a few days of her 25th
birthday. She had been converted to
nlhliism by students while attending
the University of Zurich, in switzer-
Her enthusiasm carried her 80
gar that she attached herself to the
terrorist section Of the revolutionary
party which believes in propaganda
Of deed"
Miss Leontieff returned to st. Pc
efsourg about a year ago, and imme-
uiately put herself in communication
WIN the secret organization Of the
iovolutionist party in the Russian zap
i'ai Owing to her high position in
society she was able to supply them
win many valuable items of informa-
ton.
NOT content with her actively in
this direction, Miss LeOutieff began
quietly to propagate advanced politi-

absolute power. Miss Leontieff urged
that IL he could be removed by VIC.
lence his successor would never dare
to oppose popular demands with the
same obstinacy.
With characteristic energy, Miss Lee
ontieff declared that she herself would
make the first attempt. She proposed
that IL she failed, one Of the other two
should mako the second attempt. Lots
were drawn to decide whether Princess
Teniehef or Miss T.epoff should make
! the second attempt. The lot fell on
Miss Trepoff, so IL was decided that IL
the first attempt made by Miss Leon
tieff failed, another attempt would be
made by Miss Trepof, and il this also
was unsuccessful, a third and final at
tempt would be made by Princess Ten
ichetf. The three young women bound
themselves by a solemn oath to carry
out their murderous plan relentlessly
and efficiently.
The ezar's doom was apparently a
matter Of a few days. IL was averted
by his withdrawal to his palace at
Tsarkoe-S elo towards the end Of Janu-
AIRY and the suspension of all court fes-
t%ivities during the present political
crisis. The trio Of terrorists were CON
fdent, however, that they would conn
face to face with him in the course Of
the spring or early in the autumn.
Probably with the natural weakness
of the sex, one or the other Of the three
eonspirators dropped a hint of their in
tentions to some bosom friend. Any
how, Miss Leontief wal suddenly ar
rested in her own home on a charge Of
reasonable conspiracy against the life
Of the emperor of Russia. Explosives
and three small hand bombs were
found carefully concealed in her bed
room. Her father, who had grown
gray in the service Of Russia, was
dragged of to prison on the suspicion
Of having supported, or at least toler-
ated, his daughters revolutionary ae-
tivity. Ruin has also overtaken her
two brothers, n Of whom is a colonel
and the other a major in a crack regi-
ment Of guards stationed at Tsarkoe-
Selo.
The news Of Miss Leontief's arrest
caused an unbounded sensation among
her exalted friends. Princess Tenisheff
and Miss TrepOff were panic stricken.
They jumped to the n %eonelu-
sion that they would be compromised
by her seizure. They quickly met and
decided to evade all further difficulties
by committing suicide. Miss TrepOf
left her fathers house under the pre-

NO FREE HOMES
ON THE ROSEBUD
Congressman Burke Expresses
Opinion That Settlers
Will Have to Pay.
MAN. MEETINGS HELD
Settlers Asked Congress to Enact Leg.
i~slation That They Need Not Pay
Price Required for Coded
Indian Lands.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 29.-The set
tiers on the coded portion of the Rose
bud reservation have called a series Of
meetings at various points for the pur-
pose of organizing clubs whose object
II Will be TO endeavOr to secur support
among members of congress from
South k and other states for the
movement in favor of free homes. The
meetings will be held at the following
places:
Gregory, Wednesday, July 5, 10 a. M;
Herrick. Friday, July I, 2:30; Burke,
Saturday, July 5, $50; Yerley's (Sully
Flats, Monday, July 10, $50; Wade,
Wednesday, July -, 2:3O: Eden,
Thursday, July IS, 2:3o: Dixon, Fri
day, July Il, $50; Carlock, Saturday,
July Is, $50.
The homsteaders in all parts OF the
ceded lands are urged to be present at
the meetings at the place nearest their
homes, the idea being to have the gath
erings as largely attended and as en-
thusiastic as possible for the good eff
feet it will ave in showing the senti-
ment among the settlers and in secur-
ing the support of congressman and
senator's.
Congressman Burke Of South Dako-
ia. who was n of the most persist
ent members Of congress in the work
Of having the surplus lands of the
Rosebud reservation opened to settle
ment, expresses the opinion that it Will
be impossible to induce congress to
enac legislation relieving the settlers
on the coded lands from having TO pay
the price which they are required to
pay under existing law.
He calls attention To the last section
of the act opening the lands to set
tlement. which is as follows:
THAT rothing in this act contained
shall in any manner bind the United
States TO purchase any portion Of the
Ian herein described. except sections
16 and So or the equivalent in each
township. or to dispose of said LAND
except as provided herein; or &c guar
antee 10 and purchasers for said lands
or any portion thereof. il being the in
tentici. of his act that the United
States snal act as trustee for said In
dams to dispose of said lands and 10
eXpend and pay over the proceeds re-
oeivei from the sale thereof only as
received. as herein provided"
There probably is not 4 single South
Dakotan who is not in favor OF the free
homes idea in connection with the
opening to settlement of any body of
public land. but. In View OF the sec
ton Of the law quoted. the fight for
the extension OF the free homes policy
to the Rosebud lands appears to be
homeless.
To give the Rosebud settlers the ben
eft of the free homes idea would make
II necessary for congress TO pay the
Indians the purchase price OF the land
out Of the United States treasury. That
any such ~proposition would be over
whelnlingly defeated cannot be doubt
