leased Under Bond.

Chicago, March 29.-The federal
grand jury at night returned an in
dictment against Thomas j. Connors,
general superintendent of Armour &
Co., on a charge of interfering with a
witness summoned to appear before
the jury. Mr.. Conner was arrested
on a bench warrant by a United
States deputy marshal and brought to
the grand juryroom, where he was re-
leased on a $4,000 bond After his re-
lease Mr.. Connors refused to discuss
the matter. The indictment charges
that Mr.. John Edward Shields of
Brooklyn, who testified in the so
called beef trust investigation, was
by Mr.. Connors and specifically states
that on March rs the offense upon
which Mr. Connors was indicted oc-
Cured. 1t is also charged that
Shields was given the use of Armour
& Co.'s Office at 205 La Sale street to-
transact his business while In Chicago
and also the use of private tele-

Ing company.
Another allegation is that Shields
was entertained by Connors and that
Connors suggested to the proposed
witness that he should testify favor
ably to Armour & Co., and not to toll
all that he knew concerning the mat
ter under investigation. -
The second count Of the indictment
charges that Mr.. Connors did not
limit his attempt at influencing wit
nesses to Mr.. Shields, but that other
witnesses who have not yet appeared
In Chicago have been approached by
him and attempts made to influence
them as to the nature of testimony
they would give before the jurors.
The section of the statutes under
which the indictment was drawn pro-
vides that any person who interiors
with witness in federal case shall
be subjected to fine of $500 or i'm
prisonment for three months or both.

Goebel contested the election, and at
the time Of his death the contest was
pending in the Legislature, which subsa-
quently overturned the election.
A peculiar feature Of the case is that
when Powers was arrested he pro-
duced pardon signed by William s.
Taylor as governor and attested by Ca
leb Powers as secretary of state. The
pardon bore date subsequent to that
of the warrant of arrest At each Of
his three trials Powers has produced
the pardon, but the trial court in each
instance refused to admit it, and the

WINTER IRRIGATION.
Government Will Study Soil of
Echo District.

That the United States government
will study, in a scientific manner, tn
question of winter irrigation in tn
Echo and Butter creek district, is nov
an assured fact
Arthur P. Slower, an irrigation engi
neer and expert from Berkeley, Cal
has been assigned to the Echo distric
by the department of experiment sta
tions, and arrived here this morning to
make preparations to begin his work.
Mr.. Stoyer will establish at least two
experiment stations in the Echo dis.
trict-one on Butter creek, where win.
ter irrigation is now pYactced success
fully, and one on the bench three miles
west and south of Echo, on the driest
portion of the arid district.
These experiments will be designed
to test the evaporation, quality of the
soil, and the different conditions of the
soil IN different seasons of the year, and
viii be most thorough. Mr.. Stover has
been employed in the same work in
other portions of the West, and will
study the soil conditions Of this county
very carefully.
The chief of the department of exper-
iment stations is P. II Fortier, of Berke-
ley, Cal, who visited Pendleton severa,
weeks ago. and promised the people of
the Echo district to establish stations
in that district, to test the question of
winter irrigation and the coming of Mr..
S,oyer is the result Of Mr. Fo,tier's
visit here.
Ire object of the agricultural depart
ment in making these tests is to en-
courage and supplement the work OF
the rec amation service in carrying out
projects in the arid districts, where the
soil and climatic conditions, the amount

When General Grant Joked.

General Grant seldom indulged in
numOr. On one occasion. however, he
attempted something in this line at the
expense of his West Point c!assmate
and roommate, cOmrade in the NeXi-
can and civil wars and intimate and
devoted friend, Major General Rufus
ingalls,, of Denmark, Me, writes C. O.
Stickney in the Bangor CIe.) CONNER
clal. Ingalls, was Quartermaster gen
eral Of the armies before Richmond.
Grant and his staff were seated one
evening before the blazing campfire.
when Grant suddenly turned to In
gals and, pointing to yellow dog
which had accompanied the latter
through many campaign and which
now lay at his masters feet snoozing
away, loosely asked:
Say, Ingalls,, do you intend taking
that dog along with you into Rich
mond?"
"Certainly," was the quick response.
"Why not? He belongs to a mighty
long lived breedr'
A roar Of laughter followed this
good natured sally, and for once a,
least the face Of the grim commander
relapsed into broad smile.

The young mother thinks, when she has
completed the baby garments that are to
clothe the little form. But she is not all
ready for baby's coming, unless she has
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare his clothes. Many a
young mother who goes through hours
of pain and suffering wonders why 1t was
not possible to prepare in some way for
the baby's advent, and to avoid the
agony that seemed almost uncomfortable.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens and
pleasures of maternity. 1t prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women suffer. 1t Strengthens the whole
body, so that there is no nervousness nor
anxiety. 1t promotes healthy appetite
and causes refreshing sleep. 1t gives the
mother strength for her trial and makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
Healthy mothers have healthy children,
and it is the general testimony of those
who have used DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription as preparative for mother
hood, that the children we're healthier
and happier than those born after
months Of mental misery and physical
anguish OH the part of the prospective
mother.
