GOODING'S INVITATION
REFUSES TO MIX IN STEUNEN=
BERG AFFAIR
Says 1t Would Do No Good to Make
an Investigation Into Alleged Con-
spiracy to Punish Innocent
Men
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON March 3O.-Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor has declined the invita-
ton extended to him and to President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of
America by Governor Gooding of Idaho
to appoint a committee to meet at
Pocatello. Idaho, April 10 to investi-
gate conditions growing out of the
charges of conspiracy between state
officials and mine owners to punish in
nocent men for the assassination of
Governor Steunenberg.
Governor Gooding referred TO the
confessions of Orchard and Adams.
Mr.. Gompers tonight telegraphed Gov
ernor Gooding as follows:
Los Angeles herald., 1906-03-31
Gomper's Reply

Surely if Orchard cannot give de-
tails of confession what benefit can re-
suit from Mr.. Mitchell's and my hear
ing their general statement? In any
event such statements will be only ex
parte without cross-examination and
without being confronted with the ac-
cused men. The justification for the
suspicion lies in their unlawful extra
dition and brutal kidnapping from their
homes and states"
Governor Gooding's telegram, which
was dated last Tuesday, had just
reached Mr.. GOmpers.

10 feet high and grew it's fruit
on the hog house. We also saw
sunflowers a foot in diameter,
and to cap the climax, his or
chard has produced, this year,
a fine crop of apples, peaches,
and all the small fruits, and the
yard is the picture of beauty,
covered with flowers, the handi
work, no doubt, of Mrs. AID
ridge, as Mr.. Aldridge's taste is
more for fine stock; and then we
noticed the place we'll stocked
with bees, which certinly makes
this home to flow with milk and
honey.
The Club, as usual, took up
the ordinary business of dis
cussing questions of interest to
farmers, also reading selections,
discussing various subjects and
making short speeches, all of
which added to the interest of
the meeting, (all of which will
appear in the regular report.)
Then came dinner, and such a
spread; the tables were loaded
with all the good things calcu-
lated to please the most fastidi-
on !; taste and we are sorry to re-
port that our friend Freely My
ers so far forgot himself as to
overload his stomach and be-
come foundered, but the doe
tors think, with care, they can
bring him through, with only
the loss of his toenails.
We were pleased to hear j. E.
Jones, one of the leading men,
bers of the Club, make a strong
plt a fer all members to make
an effort to make the coming
County Fair the best in the his
tory of the county. There was
an expression of approval of
his remarks. In this connection
we may be permitted to empha-
sise Mr.. Jones' remarks, not on
lv to the members of the Club,
but to the citizensin general as
an advertisement of the product
of the county.
To make this report as short
as possible, we will just say, the
meeting was a grand success,
and all who attended went home
happy, and none more so than

Rev. Wimberly, pastor of the
M. 3. church here during the
past year, was transferred to
the North Nebraska conference
by action of the Des Moines
conference at its recent session,
the conference from which Mr..
Wimberly came last fall. OBJ
jecting to this transfer he
rendered his resignation from
the North Nebraska conference,
which was accepted at its clos
ing session. This leaves Mr..
Wimberly out of the M. E.
ministry for the current year,
as we understand no assignment
can be made out of regular
conference session. DR.. Ninde,
of Michigan, a son of the late
Bishop Ninde, who came to the
Iowa conference this wear, has
been appointed to Woodbine,
and is expected TO preach his
first sermon here next Sunday.
We have not learned what Rev.
Wimberly's plans are for the
coming year. but his host Of
warm friends in Woodbine will
doubtless wish him success and
happiness in whatever field he
he may see fit to go to. We
understand that he has no in
tention of leaving the ministry.
We are glad to learn that some
what sensational reports that
got into the papers concerning
his case are without any sub
stantial foundation. and were
evidently inspired by jealousy
on the part Of some one who de-
sired to work him undeserved
harm. Woodbine Chronicle.

to wish them goodbye. These
estimable people will soon leave
for Fremont, where they will
make their future home. They
have lived in this city for the
last thirty-seven years and dur
ing that time they have made a
wide circle of friends who are
more than sorry to have them
leave this city. Miss Clara
Cam, their niece, will accom-
pany them to their new home.
During the evening refresh
ments were served and a gen
eral good time had in convers-
ing and talking over pleasant
remembrances. While we dis
like to have them leave we
wish them much happiness in
their new home.
