The Kaiser and Brown Boots,

The German emperor is a regular
frequenter of the tiords of Norway,
but he allows no liberties to he tax
on with his sacred person. On one
occasion when the IIohenzollern an
eaored off a little town the German
consular agent, as in duty bound,
went aboard to pay his respects.
But not being possessed of a uni
form, it did not appear to him nee
essary to appear at midday in the
comic opera kit of evening dress on
board the vessel. He therefore pre-
sented himself in an attire that COM
promised the official correctness of
a frock coat by brown boots. His
majesty, however, resented the in
formality, called the attention of
the consul general at Bergen to the
solecism and announced his inten-
ton of ceasing to honor the place
with any further visits. = London

METEoRlc BODIES.
Mineral Masses That Are WhirIins
Through Space.

The realms of space contain
probably innumerable masses of
solid iron or other minerals which
are whirling along at an incalcula-
bic rate. Occasionally these masses
come within comparatively few
miles of the earth's atmosphere.
and then instead of crashing to the
ground, carrying devastation in
their paths, they suddenly become
territically hot and melt away into
an incandescent gas. This is what
is going on when we see what is
wrongly called shooting star. :"
Stars do not shoot The sudden
flash we see is the result of the fric-
tion between the meteoric body and
CUR air. The former travels at such
a rate as to generate an enormous
heat. Occasionally, however, solid
masses do not become completely
vaporized, but fall to the earth with
a great force. A stone fell in 1855
on the coast opposite Zanzibar, 1t

Dubuqua, Iowa, Feb. 25.-Former Speaker David B. Henderson of tho Ma tionaI House of Representatives. died at o'clock this afternoon at Mercy Hospital of paresls, which attacked him nine months ago. He began to sink Friday afternoon, rallied Saturday morning, in the afternoon lapsed into inconsistencies and failed rapidly un- til the end came.

 Colonel Henderson was stricken with paresIs last May and his condition grew so grave that he was removed to hospital in September. His condi- tion remained practically unchanged except fer the usual progress of such diseases until week ago Friday, when he suffered another stroke which resulted in total blindness. The former speaker failed rapidly physcaI;, and mentally until Friday. when his mental powers returned for few hours, fol | lowed by relapse which ended in death.

INSPIRED BY GERMANY.
MOorish Bank Project So Believed to
 Be By France.

Algerciras. Feb. 25.-The bank pro feet which the Moorish delegation put forward at the session of the Moroccan conference Saturday, Is according to the French and British delegates a loosely drfted mixture of the German and French proposals following chiefly the German lines. The British and French delegates hint that the project | is of German inspiration and that It's object is to indicate the concessions Germany is prepared to make. The committee on revision which is considering the threo bank projects has instructions to endeavor to agree on definite draft of the proposals and to submit 1t to the full conference at the earliest date possible. pessimis- tic view obtains among the French and British delegations concerning the liklihood of an agreement being reached on the final drafts. They fore see the probability Of the conference leaving the bank question unsettled and the police problem. which they also believe cannot be solved unless the neutral powers make efforts at Der lin and Paris, the success of which in their opinion Is not Indicated. They predict that the conference will last a fortnight and that the delegates will separate after having embodied in a protocol their forms already adop- ted.
 All other quarters. however, do not share the French and British Pessinnism and consider that longer the confer ence lasts the greater the probability of a definite agreement being reach ed.

ImpIicates Mine workers In Conspira-

 Boies, Idaho. Feb. Ex-Governor Good ing tonight issued the following state- ment with respect to the steunenberg assessination:
 q want to state officially that Harry Orc. ard has made a full confession as to the manner and motive of the ass sassination of former Governor Steu- nenberg, telling of the plans made and giving the names of those making them. The assassination of Steunen- berg on the evening of December 30. 1905. was the third attempt that Or- chard made against his life. This con- fession was made to James Mcfarland. It included a history of his life from his early boyhood up to the time of his arrest. In that confession Orchard implicated all those now under arrest and others. including J. l. Simpkins He told the story of twenty-six murders, the result of conspiracies in which all the accused were interested. When the story is given to the public believe it will be the greatest narrative Of crime which the world knows
 S'There has never been any doubt ns to the truth of Orchards confession among those who are familiar with the crimes committed in Idaho and Color ado and charged to the inner circle of
  have seen Orchard myself since this confession was made. He told me that no promises of clemency had been held out by him by Mcfarland or any one els. Mcfarland was aided in his work by Orchards early training. The impression Of the early days came up and smote his conscience when be was brought face to face with his God. He told me that he believed In a supreme being and a hereafter and that now his one thought was to make his peace with his maker.
 'srhe State desires to secure jus tice. There Is no thought of punishing the innocent or waging war on any labor organization. wish to announce that I have withdrawn the offer as s5,o00 reward made by the State for the punIBhment of the guilty parties and have advised that the parties who had offered rewards do likewise. They have agreed to do so and today there Is not a single dollar of reward offer ed for the conviction of the murderers of steuenberg. A reward of $t,000 is now offered by us for information lead ing to the arrest of J. T. Simkins and this is the only reward now offered in connection with the Steunenberg assas- sination.
