ORCHARDS CONFESSION
 OF MURDER PROGRAM
On His Statements Mover and Haywood
 We're Arrested
He IS Said to Have Admitted that the Killing of Seunen berg was Planned in the Inner Circle of the Western Federation

Denver, Feb. Republication was made here today of the complaints on which Governor Gooding of Idaho based the requisftion for Chas. H. Mover, president. and Wm. D. Hay wood, secretary treasurer of the Vest ern Federation, of Miners. and G. A. Pettibone, former member of the ex- ecutive committee of that organiza- tion. From these it appears that the men secretly arrested here on Satur- day night and hurriedly removed to Idaho were charged directly with the murder of Governor Frank Steunen- berg, Of Idaho, and not merely with being accessories to the crime. The complaints and acquisitions in the three cases are identical and charge the accused men with having dis charged the bomb by means of which Steunenberg was killed at Caldwell Idaho, on December 30, 1905. The specific charge of murder was made. it is explained. in order to forestaII nabeas corpus proceedings oa behalf of the accused men, but no attempt will be made to prove that they were in Idaho at the time of the commis- sion of the crime. It is alleged. how ever, that they conspired with others to murder Steunenberg and furnished the funds to carry out the plot
 The atrocious murders committed during the labor troubles at Cripple Creek and the Telluride districts in this state which have been shrouded in mystery, the earlier Occur D'Alene murders and the more recent Steunen- berg assassination form a chain or crimes with which efforts are being made to connect the officers of the Western Federation of Miners on a confession said to have been made by Harry Orchard, who is charged with the Steunenberg murder.
 This confession, it is asserted, dis closed a plot to kill former Governor Peabody of Colorado, Wm. H. Gabbert, chief justice of the Colorado supreme court, and John Campbell, former chief justice. Orchard is said to have confessed that wholesale assassina- tons were planned at the headquar- ters of the Western Federation of Mi ners in Denver.
 It is also said that Orchards con fession gives a history of the eXplo- sion at the Independence depot near Cripple Creek on June 16. 1904 which killed fourteen men and injured many others. Jas. Mcfarland, head of the detective agency which was employed by Idaho authorities in the Steunen- berg case. declared today that the evil dcuce asairst all the men arrested is very strong and tEat more a~rests are yet to be made.
 It develops that Orchards confes- sion, according to the best authority, stated that bombs mad been placed at the gateways of residences of two members of the Colorado supreme court. and that more than dozen at tempts had been made to assassinate former Governor Peabody.
 Investigation since the alleged con fession was made disclosed the pres ence of bombs in exactly the spots in dicated.

Once on time in far Japan
 There lived, 6 busy little man,
 So merry and so full of fun
 That people called him Indoor Sun. Now, Indoor Sun made mirrors fine Like those in your house and in mine, And in these looking glasses bright His own face saw from morn till night. It made him feel so very sad
 To see his face look cross and bad That he began to take great care To keep a sweet smile always there. And soon he found that those he knew All seemed to like him better, too, For, like the mirrors. every one Began to smile on Indoor Sun. Now, try this just one day and see How bright and smiling you can be. You'll find both happiness and fun In playing you're an Indoor Sun. Little Folks.

The one who has picked up all the pins first, of course, wins. There is no stip- ulation as to which pin is to be first picked up. Counters may take the place of pins, or nuts would do. But pins are best because of the difficulty in picking them up. Some fun may be made by guessing who will be the win ner in the pin race.

HOW THE DART IS MADE.

the piece of card, first cutting it the shape shown In the picture. Tack 1t on with two or three brads, clinching them on the other side to insure their flrmness. When this Is done, and not before, balance the dart on your knife blade to find the "center of gravity" and at the point where 1t balances cut a notch slanting in the direction of the point away from the card end.
 If you cut this notch in the center or near the end, the dart will not work. It must be just where 1t balances. Be sure you get this notch right, for on 1t depends the success of the toy.
 The dart being finished, the next thing Is to construct the lash to throw it with. A piece of ash or some springy wood is better for this purpose, but pine or spruce will do. Cut this about three feet long and the diameter of a whip handle, so you can handle 1t com fortably in the hand, yet thin and springy, tapering toward the end. To the small end of this stick fasten piece of stout string about two feet long, and at the other end of the string tie knot
 To shoot the dart hold 1t with the left hand near the tail or paper end, holding the whip in the right. Throw the string over the dart and draw 1t through the notch until it catches on the knot Then with rapid upward motion switch the whip into the air, letting go the dart at the same time. The dart will leave the string and soar high into the air.
 The lighter the dart is made and the more springy the whip the higher the mimic dart will fly. Be correct in your aim, and you may learn to hit the mark as well as did the oldtime sling CTS. But be careful not to break win dows or smash things" In your train ing.-Exchange.
