ORCHARD WOULD
NOT SEE. MILLER
Denial of Admission to Attorney
Strengthens Belief He Has
Confessed.
ST. JOHN I'M PENITENTIARY
GOVERNOR COOLING TO MAKE
FULL STATEMENT SOON.
Especial to The Herald.l

Boise, Ida, Feb. 22.-The interesting
fact leaked out tonight that Fred Mil
Ter went out to the penitentiary today
to see Harry Orchard and the latter
refused to admit him. When a guard
carried a message to the prisoner that
the attorney was there to see him, Or
chard wrote a note stating he did not
wish him TO come in. AS Miller has
been Orchards attorney, the action of
the latter indicates that he has placed
himself in a position where he does
not wish Miller'S services longer. Mil
Ter seems to regard it as evidence that
Orchard has confessed and told the
state everything. There is no doubt
that the confession exists. While no
official statement of it has been made,
many minor statements are based upon
its existence. The governor, for in
stance, said this evening that there
could be no doubt whatever that Or
Chard had reDented thoroughly.
Vincent st. John, arrested at Wal
lace, was brought TO the penitentiary
this afternoon from Caldwell. Pending
further arrests, no official information
is being given out with respect to any
Of the evidence against the accused
men, but the governor has said he
would prepare and issue a statement in
few days covering everything that
can be told. He is going away for two
days and the statement is expected
Immediately upcn his return.

FOLK TALKS TO KANSANS
Says Moral Awakening of the
Country Means Govern
ment Must Be Better.

e. Topeka, Kan, Feb. -22.-The meeting
Of the state Democratic committee here
today fixing the date of the state con-
vention for April %, at Topeka, was
followed tonight by the annual Wash
sas Democratic club at the hotel
Throop. The rush for this was so
great that over 300 Democrats apply
ing for tickets were unable to obtain
admission David NJ. Dale of Wichita
was POSTMASTER and the feature of the
evening was the address by Governor
Joseph w. Folk of Missouri, who dis
cussed the tariff and other issues of
the day.
Governor Folk said in part:
"A political revival is going on all
over the land today on the subject of
graft. The people of Philadelphia,
Cincinnati or Pennsylvania and Ohio
have been fighting to gain the govern
ment they had lost. The people are
beginning to awaken to the realization
of the fact that the government of
city, state and nation belongs to them
and they can take the government into
their own hands whenever they wish
This is the idea true Democracy stands
for-the rule of the people.
1.-THE moral awakening that is now
sweeping over the country is simply
the patriotism that comes from the
hearts of the people, a determination to
stamp out the things that dishonor in
public life and the things that Cypress
i'm public life-a firm resolve that gov
eminent shall be representative of the
good, not of the bad.
This movement against graft is not
a move against wealth, but against the
abuse of wealth. The Distinguishing
characteristic of this crusade for high
er ideals in public life and in private
business is the conservatism of the
people. The people do not oppose riches
honestly acquired, but they do object
to the abuses whereby some obtain
great riches"

His Trip Through California to
an Extra Friend
REDWOOD CRY, CAL, Oct. Z, 1906.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Oct. Z, 1906.
MR.. OLUF JENSEN, Extra, Iowa:
DEAR FRIEND:-Will try and write a
few Lines this fine Sunday morning to
impress upon your mind that | haven't
entirely forgotten you, and that | am
still counted among the ''busybodies" of
this glorious country of ours and trust
the same may be said of you. have
been having the very best of health and
am enjoying my trip out here very
much. have seen some very beautiful
sights, which include those of natures
own handiwork amongst the noble and
grand mountains of this western coast,
and those of cities built by human hands,
although beautiful, they cannot compare
with natures own glorious scenery.
am very sorry was unable to take pic
lures of the different sights while view
ing them, so | could have something for
remembrance of my trip. OF course |
will always remember it, but will more
than likely forget how it looks in time
to come. This is fine country to live
in, and fruit-nothing but fruit of every
kind, which is one of the foremost in
dustries of the state. Oranges, lemons,
peaches, pears, prunes, plums, apples,
etc, and olives and nuts of all kinds are
grown here. Anything that one can wish
for grows here. guess they haven't any
trees here that grow money, but lots OF
them that grow into money Fine places
for business opportunities of all kinds all
over the state. Everyone seems to have
plenty of work and money, and always
finding time to spend it seeking pleasure
and enjoyment of every description. |
can tell you all of it in about these
words: 1t is fine and glorious place to
live. That is all there is to it. As it is
about time to feed my face" (excuse
the slang), will close. hope this will
find you prosperous and in good health.
l am, respectfully yours,
Earl, THOMAS.
