A meeting of farmers who are 60

noon for the purpose of making ar
rangements to secure a train to con-
vey themselves, families and farming
equipment to their new homes in
Canada.
The movement which caused the
meeting this afternoon has been
worked up largely by C. W. and w.
T. Rigby who have but recently re-
turned from the north. Besides the
Rigbys the following are said to con-
template going to Alberta with the
special train; H. F. Tanning, Louis
LadouX, George Warburton, of Echo,
Audette Bros, of Helix, Frank Mar

from filing on it. The section to
which they are all headed is near

growing section.
1t is the intention of the emigrants
to secure an entire train for them
selves, and by so doing they will save

WOMEN OF wooDCRAFT WON.
Damage Suit Against the Order Was
Dismissed.

Mrs. c. c. Van Orsdall, grand guar
dian of the Women of Woodcraft. re-
turned from Spokane this morning.
where she has been attending a trial
in the superior court in which the
grand circle was defendant in a suit
10 recover $4,000 damages for ex-
pulsion of a member from the order.
The grand circle won, the court hold
ing that the order had the right TO
eXpel member for violation of its
laws and regulations.
at is the first case in which the
grand circle has been defendant" ,"
said Mrs. Van Orsdall, "and we are
naturally very well pleased.
The plaintiff in the case was a
member whom the local circle expell-
ed for slandering grand officers, maxi
ing threats, and using abusive Ian
guage. The action of the local carcle
had been sustained by the grand
guardian and the grand circle session
on appeal. The plaintiff then sued
the grand circle for reinstatement and
for damages amounting to $4,000
for wrongful expulsion.
THE point upon which the case
turned was the right of a fraternal
benefit order to discipline a member
and TO expel from membership for
offenses against the peace and dig
nifty of the order. The courts hold
that fraternal benefit orders have the
right to try, discipline and expel Of
Tending members"
A. d. Stillman, legal adviser for the
Women of Woodcraft conducted the
case for the order, which was tried
before Superior Judge Kennan. Some
eight or 10 witnesses were examined
for the plaintiff, and when their evil
dence was finished yesterday morn
ing a motion for a non-suit was filed
by Mr.. Stillman and was granted by
the court, thus dismissing the case.
Mr.. Sullman returned this morning
from Spokane.

San Francisco, March 4.-Beyond
the departure for Honolulu today of
Detective Harry Reynolds of the city
force; Captain James Callahan, held
of a private detective agency, en-
ployed by representatives of the Stan
ford university estate; David Starr
Jordan, president of Stanford univer-
sity; Emery Hopkins, one of the trus-
tees of the university, the morning
developed nothing new in the great
Stanford mystery. Rumors followed
by prompt denials are not lacking
but tangible facts are absent.
The first rumor denied was the al
legged finding of a bottle of strychnine
in the Stanford mansion. The police
declare that in Fridays search only
few simple medicines were found.
Another rnrnor was TO the effect
that il was authoritatively announced
that strychnine had heen found in
Mrs. Stanford's stomach. Neither
the police, Mrs. Stanford's brother,
nor the counsel for the Stanford es-
tate have any such information, and
all deny that any report on the work
thus far accomplished by the analyt-
cal chemist has been given ont either
at Honlulu, or ,cabled to San Fran
cisco.
Miss Berner's admissions that she
purchased a bottle of bicarbonate of
soda and that the purchase was made
after the first poisoning and three
days before the time she says 1t was
packed away to remain untouched
until Mrs. Stanford arrived in Homo
lulu, is considered fatal to her side of
the case. In fact, Miss Berner's many
contradictory statements and bad
memory have not helped to dispel the
impression that she is attempting to
shield some guilty person.
The police department is still rest
ing on its oars, but is ready to make
arrests as soon as information comes
from Honolulu that poison was actu-
ally found in the stomach of Mrs.
Stanford. There can be no question
that number of former Stanford
servants and servants now oooped mp
in the Stanford mansion, and perhaps
two or three other Stanford employees
will be taken into cutody as soon as ii
is definitely ascertained Mrs. Stanford
was poisoned
The fact that strychnine was found
lin the Poland water of which Mrs.
Stanford partook when first poisoned,
is identical with the strychnine used
about the Stanford stables to kill rats
is conceded to be the most important
discovery. The police anticipate no
difficulty in learning the identity of
all persons who could have had ac-
cess to the stables, and believe the
clew will lead direct to the person or
persons responsible for the presence
of poison in the bicarbonate.

of which it was impossible that they
should foresee.
Complex and Intense Life.
Modern life is both complex and in
tense, and the tremendous changes
wrought by the extraordinary indus
trial development of the last half
century are felt In every fiber of our
social and political being. Never be-
fore have men tried so vast and for
midable an experiment as that of ad-
ministering the affairs of a continent
under the forms of a democratic re-
public. The conditions which have
told for our marvellous material we'll
being, which have developed 10 a very
high degree our energy, self-reliance,
and individual initiative, have also
brought the care and anxiety INSOFAR
able from the accumulation of great
wealth in Industrial centers.
Upon the success of our expert
ment much depends; not Otiy as re-
CARDS our own welfare, but as regards
the welfare of mankind. II we fail.
the cause of free lf-gUvernment
Throughout the world will rock to its
foundations; and therefore our re-
sponsibiHty is heavy, to ourselves, to
the world as it is today, and to the
generous vet unborn.
There is no good reason why we
should fear the future. but there Is
every reason why we should face 1t
seriously, neither hiding fTom our
selves the gravity of the problems be-
fore us nor fearing to approach these
problems with the unbeHding, un-
flimching purpose to solve them right.
The Essential Spirit.
Yet after all, though the problems
are new, though the tasks set before
us differ from the tasks set before
our fathers who founded and pre-
served this republic, the Eplrit in
which these tasks must be under
taken and these problems faosd, if our
duty is to be well done, remains es-
sentially unchanged
We know that self-government is
difficult We know that no people
needs such high traits of character
as that people which seeks to govern
its affairs right through the freely
expressed will of the freemen who
compose it. But we have faith that
we shall not prove false to the memo
ries OF the msn of the mighty past.
They did their work, they left as the
splendid heritage we now enjoy
We in our turn have an assured
confidence that we shall be able to
leave this heritage unwasted ana en-
larged to our children and our chill
drens children. TS do so we must show
not merely in great crises, but in the
everyday affairs uf life, the qualities
of practical intelligence, of courage,
of hardihood and endurance, and
above all the power of devotion to a
lofty ideal, which made great the men
who founded this republic in the
days of Washington. which made
great the men who preserved this re-
public in the days of Abraham Lin
coin.
