JAS. HARGIS IS IN JAIL.
Judge RiddelI vacates Bench
and Governor Must Appoint
Another Judge.
EVIDENCE IN ANOTHER MURDER.

Jackson, KY, Feb. PA mo-
tion for a change of venue from
Breathitt county was filled by
Commonwealth's Atty. Adams
this morning in the cases against
Hargis and others charged with
the murder of j. B. Marcum.
The statement was to the effect
that there is such a state of law
lessness existing in this county
at the present time that impair
tial.verdicts cannot be rendered.
Following thrs the defendants
filed afiidavits asking Judge Rid
dell to vacate the bench. The
affidavits we're very strong, and
set up. that Judge Riddell has
gery bitter feeling toward the
defendants, and that they be-
lieved that they could not get an
impartial trial before him.
The court, after considering
the afidavits, announced from
the bench that while there was
no such feeling against the de-
PENDANTS, nor had he committed
acts complained of, yet he would
not preside in the case if they o0-
jected to him, and that he would
vacate and have the clerk certify
to the Governor for the appoint
ment Of judge to preside in the
trial. He ordered the jailer to
take the defendants to Jail pend
ing the appointment of a judge
by the Governor. Common
wealth's Atty. Adams moved
that the order allowing bail be
set aside.
A. r. Bird is here and will
probably assist in the prosecu-
tion, while Judge j. j. @. Bach
represents the defendants.

STEUNENBERG
ASSASSINATION
Gov. Goodins Says Confession
the Greatest Narrative Of
Crime.
OFFICERS or WESTERN FEDERATION
or MINERS HELD FOR TRIAL.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 25.-Gov.
Gooding tonight issued the fol.
lowing statement with respect
to the Steunenberg assassination
case:
'sI want to state officially that
Harry Orchard has made a full
confession as to the manner and
motive of the assassination OF
former Gov. Steuenenberg, tell
ing Of the plans made and Civ
ing the names of those making
them. The assassination OF
former Gov. Steuenenberg on
the evening of Dec. 80. 1905,
was the third attempt that
Orchard made against his life.
"This confession was made to
James Mcfarland. 1t included
a history of his life from his
early bcyhaad up to the time OF
his arrest In that confession
Orchard implicated all those now
under arrest and others, includ-
ing j. l.. Simpkins. he told the
story Of twenty-six murders, the
result of conspiracies in which
all the accused parties we're in
terestei.
"When the story is given to
the public, ] believe it will be
the greatest narrative of CRIME
which the world knows.
"There has never been any
doubt as to the truth of Orch
ards confession, among those
who are familiar with the
crimes committed in Idaho and
Colorado, and charged to the in
ner circles of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. ] have seen
Orchard myself since this con-
fession was made. He told me
that no promises of ciemency or
reward had been held out to him
by Mcfarland or any one else.
Mr.. Mcfarland was aided in his
work by Orchards early train
ing. The impression of the
early days came up and smote
HE conscience when he was
brought face to face with God.
He told me that he believed in
supreme being and here.
after, and that now his one
thought was to make his peace
with his MAKER"
Those arrested charged with
participations in these crimes,
include Chas. a. Meyer, presi-
dent of the Western federation
of miners, and Chas. d. Hay
ward, secretary, and g. A..
Pettibone, a member of that or
ganiEation. They are in the
idaho penitentiary.awaiting trial.
The confession of Harry Or
chard, it is asserted, disclosed a
blot to kill former Gov. James
Peabody of Colorado; William
II. Gabbert, chief justice of the
Colorado supreme court;, and
John Campbell, former chief
Justice. Orchard is said to have
confessed that wholesale assassi-
nations were planned in Denver,
chiefly by refugees from the
camps at Cripple Greek and
Telluride.
Broke up Molly Nsguires.
Thirty-three years ago James
Mcfarland, the detective, who
caused 1.-THE arrests, gained ma.
tional renown by breaking up
the Molly Maguires. He lived
with members from 1873 until
1877, at the end of which time
he gave testimony concerning
their operations which resulted
in hanging twenty-three men,
bers.
According to the MCFARLAND,
be has secured evidence that

Necessities ot a Happy Life.

There are two fundamental ne
cessities for a happy life, namely,
a useful occupation for mind and
body, and an outlet for unselfish
affection. The first requisite for
enduring happiness is in having
work to do in which one believes.
Such work always aims at the
accomplishment of something
useful. While this work must be
done with fair efficiency, it should
not be accompanied with too much
drudgery or exhaustion. The sim
pier the plan in which oue's living
is modelled, the less will be the
complications and disturbances
caused by an over-elaborate scale
Of existence, and the more time

man, "a a German woman came
into my store and remarked that
she had read of an infallible rem
edy for a certain well-known
household pest, and handing me a
clipping from a German newspa
per published in New York, in
quired if the stuff was dispensed
in liquid or powder form, and how
much ii would cost.
II saw that she had underlined
certain words of the clipping, and
on reading the whole article !
found that the writer of the Ger.
man paper who has charge of the
question and answer column had
given all the advice of which he
was possessed, but evidently did
not himself place much reliance
upon the usual remedies, and had
wound up his reply in a facetious
way, saying in quotation marks
that the very best thing was 'eter.
nal vigilance the quotation being
printed in English.
II told her eternal vigilance
was fluid which cost 25 cents,
and gave her some corrosive subli.
mate and benzine."
