THE STORY IS DENIED.
Secretary Ryan Says Stockmen Do Not
 Oppose Meat Inspection Bill.

Chicago, May 31.--A dispatch to the Tribune from Sioux City, Ia, says: Representations that the stock men of the northwest oppose the bill now before congress extending gov |ernment inspection over domestic and export meats, on the ground that a more rigid inspection law would mean great loss to the cattlemen, are repudiated by J. J. Ryan of Fort Dodge, Ia, secretary of the Corn Belt Meat Producers association, and Murdo Mackenzie, president of the American National Stock Growers association.
 More rigid government inspection will increase our export trade" de- clared MT Ryan here yesterday We manufacture the best quality of meats in the world and we should have no suspicion cast on the sani- tary condition of our packing plants or that diseased animals are used. Such suspicious have already cost us much in export trade. Much loss is sustained by offering for export meats of questionable quality, and the loss falls on the stockmen as much as the additional cost of in- spection would fall on the cattlemen should the Beveridge bill pass in Its original form"
 MT Ryan declared that the gov ernment should pay the expenses of inspection. Murdo Mackenzie ex- pressed the opinion that the govern ment should pay the inspection charges, but said the bill for more rigid inspection is good thing all around.

Do1NGs IN THE COURTS.
Hearing on Baier Estate To-day
 Short Calendar Matters.

There was another hearing to-day in the estate of the late Julius Baier. Testator's son Julius is administra- tor on the estate and he filed claim for $400, but offered no evidence to prove 1t. Attorney Russell, counsel for Adolph Storz, son of testator's adopted daughter, held this was the strangest proceeding he had ever heard of, though Attorney Wood, on the other hand, said 1t was an every day occurrence. After a good deal of discussion the lawyers got real mad at each other and then made Judge Lowe mad and there came near being a triangular scrap. Attorney Wood maintained that Judge Lowe passed upon certain papers and the judge held he did nothing of the kind. At torney Russell said the action of At torney Wood in filing claim he did not care to prove was the acme of pigheadedness and foolishness and in this manner recrimination and ac- cusation passed around. The hearing was adjourned to Saturday without anything being accomplished.
 Negotiations to settle the case of Justin Czipurna against the Holmes, Booth & Haydens company for $1O,- 900 damages failing this morning, the case was begun before Judge Reed at 10:30 o'clock. The plaintiff was in the employ of the defendant in 1903 and while working on a press one day one of the fingers of his right hand was crushed.
 Among the matters on the short calendar in the superior court to- morrow before Judge Reed is mo- tion to make Mrs Sarah Knapp the defendant in the suit to revoke the liquor license held by her husband.
 There are two ex-parte divorces on the list. Emma S. Bath against Raymond Bath in which infidelity, desertion and intolerable cruelty are alleged. Mrs Bath wants her maiden name restored. The other suit is Car rie E. Burwell against Frank D. Bur we'll. Burwell's whereabouts for the past eight years has been unknown.

The scene from the Puerto Del Sol to the Pardo palace was one of strik- ing brilliancy. All the buildings were colors of Spain woven into sunbursts. huge rosettes and graceful streamers looped from roof to roof. and arches of roses from which were suspended enormous flower baskets and trailing vines-~ Under this darling canopy of flags and flowers surged dense masses of humanity fin festival attire. the women wearing white msntillas and punches of bright flowers in their black hair and with bright eol- ored fans whipping the air.

There were some twenty five of these historic coaches of the grandees, each having its own peculiar brilliancy, and all forming dazzling pageant.

Mother Had Sought for Them Eyey- where Before Opening a Chest
 Which Held LifeIess Remains.
MOTHERS SAD DISCOVERY
Frozen With Fright When She Touched the Lifeless Remains
 of Oldest of the Children.

Chicago, May 31.-A dispatch to the Tribune from Kankakee, III, says: At the close of four hour search for her three youngest children, Mrs Adelord Van Slette found them last night dead in a trunk in an upper chamber.
 All three were little girls, the youngest mere baby. One dead body was sitting upright; the others lay huddled together upon a pillow. The lid of the trunk was tightly closed upon them.
 It is supposed they had crawled into the trunk during their play and that the cover fell and latched, and that they were suffocated. The tray of the trunk had been lifted out and lay upon bed.
 With their six boys and four girls, the Van Slettes moved here from a farm at Beaverville year ago. Van Slette is a teamster and is in good circumstances. The whole family oc- cupies five room house. The young CT children of the family had been playing out of doors much of the day, listening to music, and watch ing martial display. Late in the af- ternoon the three youngest, Ida, s years old; Rosella, aged 6, and Pearl, aged 2, left the others, going into the house to continue their romping.
 Supper time came and Mrs Van xoJc lIr ( hn nd yard failed to bring any response.
 After supper was over Mrs Van Slette, according to the story later told by the family, turned her atten- tion to the house. She had gone through the rooms dozen times and thought she had searched every nook and corner.
 At last the mother, in sleeping room, where was a large old fashion ed rounding top trunk of the Sara toga" variety, observed something she had overlooked before. The tray had been taken from the trunk and was lying on the bed.
 Mrs Van Slette lifted the lid of the closed trunk and saw her two babies lying on pillow in the bottom of the trunk. Ida, the oldest of the three girls, was sitting upright, her head dropping on her breast. The children were so still that Mrs Van Slette stood in sympathetic stiffness for an instant. Then she put forth her hand and touched Ida and spoke.
 Contact with the girls head and the lack of response froze the woman with horror. The children were dead. The trunk Is not self-locking, but 1t has clasps that easily might snap and hold it shut against the strength of children. An inquest will be held to- day.

DOMAIN society will be held at Athena
this year. A meeting of the mem
bers of this society will be held Feb
ruary "a, at which time the date Of

There is more interest being mani
tested among the Caledonians con-
corning the annual picnic than ever
before. The Caledonian society of
Walla Walla, and in fact the Scotch
of the whole inland empire are look
ing forward with much interest to
this annual gathering of the clans.
Last year no picnic was held and
the yearning for one on a large scale
this year is keenly felt. 1t is ex-
pected that a large number Of Gale
domains will be On hand for the meet
ing which has been called. At this
meeting all matters pertaining to the
picnic will be discussed, committees

He WALKS MILE BADLY MANGLED
FrightfuI Explosion follows Attempt
to Thaw Dynamite on North
Bank Road.

THE DALLES, Or, Feb. 15.-Al-
bert Lawson, a Swede, aged 80 years
unmarried, and foreman of a blasting
gang on the new railroad on the north
bank of the Columbia opposite Ar
lington, was brought to The Dalles
hospital in a terribly mangled condi-
ton. He was thawing dynamite yes
terday afternoon at 8 o'clock, when
an explosion occurred, blowing out his
right eye and mangling his left arm
cutting two holes in the left side OF
his chest and puncturing the muscles
Of the abdomen.
DR.. Spreckle, the physician in
charge of the men on the north bank
of the river, brought him down on
an early morning train and placed
him in the hospital Although suf
fering from these injuries the ply
sicians at the hospital think that he
will very likely recover, although he
will go through life in a manned con-
dition.
The accident occurred at Young
strom'S camp on the north bank rail-
road opposite Willows. Lawson was
blown forty feet but walked one mile
after the injury. DR.. Spreckle, the

Along Preliminary Survey Made
Some Weeks AGO.

GRANGER, Feb. ia North
Coast railway surveying party OF
thirteen men, in charge of Engineer
Clark, Of Walla Walla, is now en-
camped in Riverside Park, Granger
The men are working along the pre-

making a definite location. The line
as staked out crosses the Northern
Pacific at grade just west of the
Granger depot.
The farmers of the Sunnyside dis
trict are much elated over the pros
poets of another railroad, as they
think such a result will solve the
questions of car shortage and made
quate fuel supply which are now OF
frequent occurrence and are produc-
tive of great hardships to the farm
ers
1t will also open competitive mar
kets for their produce.

sc Pluribus Unum" on Our Coins.

"E flurlDuS Inum on Our CO1ES.
According to the United States mint
officials, the words, "E Pluribus

are there without the sanction of law
The legend first appeared upon COP.
per coin "struck - at the Newburg
On. " mint in the year 1856. Tbs
United States was very young at thai
time and could not afford the luxury of
a mint, so a private individual of the
name of Brasher opened the Newburg
coming establishment with the inten-
ton of turning out money of the realm
for all corners. Exactly how the words
"E Pluribus Unum' came to be used
as a motto is not known, but one thing
is certain - the Brasher copper coin
bearing that legend and the date OF
17S6 is the most valuable metal disk
ever minted on this continent.
Some time after coming his famous
copper with the odd Latin motto as
above described Brasher tried his hand
on large sized gold piece, producing
the coin known to, the numismatics as
"Brasher's twenty" The Brasher
twenty" was not twenty dollar gold
piece, however. for it lacked 81 of
weighing enough, but Of late years 1t
has become very scarce and valuable
because of the fact that the legend in
scribed upon it reads "Unum E Pluri-
bus' instead Of "E Pluribus Unum."

Forget Your Lost Battles.

Napoleon the Great on one Of his
campaigns while walking about the
camp one night, as he was accustomed
to do to discover how the soldiers were
occupied, CHANGED to come upon q
group listening to an excited speaker.
Napoleon stole near to listen and found
that the man was RECALLING his COM
rades with an account Of battles that
Napoleon had lost
81 had the fellow hanged as trail
tor" Napoleon said. Men do not win
battles by the memory of battles lost"
1t was perfectly true. A distinguish
ed military officer affirmed that after
troops had been beaten in a battle it
took weeks to get them to fire as well
as they had done before. Bad success
demoralizes them. If one is continually
looking back at the things one has
missed in life one loses the power to
grip what Is yet within reach Of ones
hands.-London Spectator.

official investigation of the whole
subject has become imperative. The
investigation surely will spread far
beyond the limits already contem-
plated and will involve not only the
Pennsylvania and it's collateral sys-
TENS, but the New York Central and
West Shore and more particularly the
control of the coal roads running
into the anthracite regions.
All this involves going into the
fight between the Vanderbilt and
Pennsylvania interests and the
is for an extensive investigation en-
bracing pretty much all the trunk
line systems from the Mississippi
valley to the Atlantic.
Merger Holdings Known.
Aside from the futile thunderings
of southern democrats like Tillman
and Gillespie, who have only a long
range acquaintance with transporta-
ton problems, the republican leaders
themselves are coming to the conclu-
sion that public sentiment demands
a satisfactory investigation and their
preference is for one conducted by
the interstate commerce commission,
which ought to be able to get at the
bare facts of railroad ownership, in
asmucn as those facts are pretty
we'll known to every stock operator in
the country.
Many members and senators have
received dozens and scores of letters
purporting to give information as to
the alleged illegal combine of the
eastern railroads. There is an i'm
mense amount of transformation in
all these letters, but there is enough
truth evidently to justify serious con-
gressional action.
