ANOTHER INTERNAL
T.. MACHINE is SENT

New York, Aug. 22.-Gun cotton
enough to kill man, arranged in an
internal machine and disguised as a
gift cigar box, was received by Precinct
Police Captain Miles O'Reilly. This is
the third deadly explosive instrument
of similar construction sent through the
New York mails in the last four days,
the 'otherHtwo having been received last
Friday by Jacob H. Schiff, banker, and
M, Guggenhein's Sons. IT,.
Captain OReilly received the cigar
box which in. weight and every other
detail misled him into taking it for a
genuine present. Unusually tenacious
nails fastening down the cover; how
ever, caused suspicion. When the box
had been carefully opened at the ends,
matches were found glued to its inner
surface in such a manner that they
would be ignited on emery paper by the
friction necessary to raise the lid The
police found that fare of one half
dozen matches would have caused the
death of Captain, O'Reilly. }
A detective, carried the tin portion of
the gun cotton and Sowder which nearly
filled the box into the cellar and there
touched match to it. The resulting
explosion was heard on the upper floors
OF the police station. sse-s--5atf. - & Il

sian Instructions, Which Are Claimed to Be for
Peace-Roosevet Still Strenuous

Portsmouth, Aug. at has been
decided to postpone until tomorrow the
meeting of the peace conference, which
was 70 have been held this afternoon.
The failure of secretaries to complete
the protocols is given as the reason.
While the reason assigned for the
postponement of the final session of the
ENJOYS is true, there is another more
potent reason.
Witte has not received final word
from St, Petersburg. 1t was expected
this morning but when it did not come

FOUL MURDER
NEAR LINTON
IA RUSSIAN SETTLER w.
KILLED RANCH MANAGER
The Russian Was Angered Because
Some Grain Had Been Damaged -
He Refused Pay and Shot the Of
, fender i'm Cold BIoOded Manner.

D
Linton, N. D., Aug, 2a.-One Of the
most foul crimes ever committed i'll this
county occurred yesterday afternoon
when a Russian named Kunz deliber-
ately shot W.. Steele, manager Of the
Boetcher ranch, sixteen miles east OF
here. ..,lt.,a,S /, r..f.s..s -
Some few days ago the Russian went
to- the Boetcher ranch and complained
that Steele had damaged the formers
grain BY driving along the edge Of the
field with a header Steele offered to
pay til damages but Kunz would not ac-
scept pay He. said he would fix Steele
. Yesterday he met Steele and without
any warning shot the latter with a
rifle, the ball entering the face and
causing instant death. sf:3@
Is Kunz and his wife came to town and
he was Immediately arrested, &
Steele was recently married, his wife
only arriving here last Saturday.
II is thought that Kunz came to town
sto get out Of the country before the
officers could be notified as he was much
surprised that he should be arrested.

They say that the reduction was an
inevitable thing.
The original cause is traced back to
the Canadian railroad and political war,
which led to a reduction of grain rates.
This resulted in the Canadian Pacific
making rates from points along the
northern boundary of North Dakota to
the shipping point at Fort William,
which were about two cents lower than
the rates from corresponding points on
the Great Northern and 500 in North
Dakota to the twin cities and Duluth.
1t was only a question of time when
the American roads must readjust their
rates to correspond with their northern
rivals. The necessity for a reduction
has been recognized, and has been dis
cussed back and forth among the Of
ficials for six months or more. 1t final
ly came to a head in the conference Of
Friday. > "<.'"'
Asreadjustment of the rate in North
Dakota carried with it reductions all
the way down through the spring
wheat territory. In ordersto preserve
the equilibrium, the market shippers in
Minnesota and South Dakota had to
be given similar concessions, so the
conference Friday agreed to make the
cut general, grading it only according
to the distance to market. The con-
ference tomorrow will doubtless reach
the same conclusion about the terri
tory farther south. Gill; II.
The new 500 line tariff was presented
to the railroad and warehouse tcomnis-
sion this afternoon, for the commis-
sion's approval as to the Minnesota
changes. W.. Il. Martin, freight traf-
/ fic manager Of the 500, said today:
The reduction in grain rates which
we embody in our new tariff is in line
with the general programme agreed on
by the representatives OF the different
roads at our meeting in St. Paul FRI
day. We agreed on the character of
lthe reduction Friday morning, the rate
lc1erks worked out the changes that af-
ternoof and Saturday morning, and we
have Just secured the, new tariffs from
the printers to file this afternoon.

NEPOTISM IS RAMPANT
AT NATIONAL CAPITOL

Washington, Aug. 22.-Nepotism has
grown to be something at once ridicu-
lous and deplorable The president is
going to have his Keep investigation
committee look into it. In every branch
of the government service the sons,
daughters and other relatives of men in
t1uential i'll official life may be found in
paying positions.
Congress. can hardly be expected to
correct the evil, for nepotism is more
prevalent on Capitol Hill, or as much
so, as in the executive departments
President Roosevelt's investigation can
not reach congress. If it could, he
would read some interesting disclosures.
For example, the vice president of the
United States, Charles w. Fairbanks,
signalized his introduction into office by
his son as his private secre-
13ry at $4,000 a year. The vice presi-
I, Dot has also had two of the members
q Iis household staff OH the govern
y ~ .sfaayrolls. One is woman from
So q "A Indiana, who draws a salary
in :, ,<2 war department, secured for her
by the vice president, and who performs
thS atliSo VI oSSldl 0SItCldly @lilOl lllllSS
and evenings, outside of office hours,
for Mrs. Fairbanks and receives 40 pri-
vate compensation. The other is ne
gro in the District of Columbia who
draws a messengers pay i'll the bureau
OF engraving and printing, secured for
him by the vice president and who acts
as a servant in the vice president S
household mornings and evenings.
The congressional dictionary disc1oses
in part the prevalence of nepotism in
the capitol. For example, Senator Frye,
formerly president pro tenn of the SEN
ate, had his nephew as private secre-
tary. Senator Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire had his son as clerk until recent
ly; Senator oCckrell had two sons on
the payroll at one time, and when he
left the senate to go to the interstate
commerce commission he took one of
them with him as his private secretary.
Senator Berry of Arkansas appointed
| his son clerk of his committee, and B.
r. Iillman, jr., acts as committee clerk
for B. R. Tillman, ST., senator from
South Carolina Senator Lodges son.
George Cabot Lodge, is assistant clerk
of his fathers committee, and Senator
Knox's son, Reed Knox, is messenger
to his fathers committee at $I,44o a
year Senator Gamble of South Da-
kota gave one Of his two places to his
nephew and the other to his son.
The fever has extended to the officers
of the senate, Sergeant-at-arms Ransdell
having appointed his son to a paying
place in his office, while Financial Clerk
Nixon one of the old and tried Off1cial
of the senate, has worked his son il
upon the roll of the secretary of The
senate. This by no means exhausts the
list, but shows clearly the prevalency Of
Inepotism in government offices.

The historical exhibit from Una
tilla county at the Lewis and Clark
fair will be enriched by a painting of
the Willow Springs Indian fight
which took place on Butter Creek in
June, 1878, during the Bannock In
dian war. Mrs b. F. Swaggart of
this city, is the artist and arrange
ments are now being made by the ex-
hibit committee of the Commercial
association to secure this picture for
the historical building.
The picture was painted from the
actual scene of the battle, Mrs. Swag-
gart visiting the battle-ground and
making her sketches from nature.
The picture sold in this city several
years ago for $50, but Mrs. Swaggart
repented having sold it and bought it
back again and will not part with it
now at any price. She has consented
to allow it to be exhibited in the his
torical building as part of the UNA
tilla county exhibit, however and it
will form valuable addition to the
collection of subjects from historical
Umatilla.
Mrs Swaggart is painting a dupli-
cate picture of the fight which she
prizes very highly. 1t is possible
that a print of one of her pictures
will appear in a short story of the
Bannock war now being written by
Mrs. Oglesby of Cottage Grove.

One story of the Origin of the Name
and the Dish.


One story of the Origin of the Name
and the Dish.
a great many stories are in existence
about the origin of the word "macaro-
nj" and the invention of the dish so
designated. According to one author
the popes was responsible both for the
name and the dish. He was preparing
a souillc for the papal soup, and, hav-
ing taken considerably more than Il
drop too much, he went on stirring the
flour until the souffle was of the con
sistency of hard tack. The assistant
chef. knowing that his holiness was
not overpatient about things pertain
ing to the table, ventured to call the
attention of his chef to this fact, and
the latter, being resourceful man. de-
cided to make a paste instead of a
souffie.
He waited the result with some anx-
iety and responded to Il call to appear
before his holiness with considerable
perturbation. Visions of stay in the
papal dungeon rose before him, and
when the pontin asked, with smiling
face, for the name OF the wonderful
paste served in the soup he was too
nervous to think OF a name. MY caro-"
(my favorite)' he replied at last, and
the pontiff, not catching the words ex-
actly, said: "Macaroni? Well, in future
never serve me meal without a dish
