Kimballton on the Boom
A New Bank, a New Store and Many
Cement Sidewalks are to be
Built Within a Short Time.

This town is on the eve of expe-
riencing boom such as it has never
before experienced; what, with the
new railroad, and steps being taken
to incorporate the town. The first
steps have been taken toward the
erection of q bank. Peter Lykke, an
exceedingly prosperous farmer near
town, has just made the purchase Of
lots upon which to erect suitable
building for that purpose. And next
comes the new drug store; Pharma-
cist Jorgensen of Des Moines was in
town last week and rented room of
r. Anderson sufficiently large
enough to accommodate the trade for
the present and is expected to arrive
this week with his stock in trade and
open up the store for the public as
soon as the goods can be placed upon
the shelves.
In order that our town may cor
respond with the new business sure
to be added, our citizens will at once
proceed to leveling and establishing
a grade for the cement walk they
will put down from one end of the
town to the other. Our business
men are all for the improvements
contemplated and are working shoul-
der to shoulder and hand in hand to
accomplish everything for the bet
terment of our town.

New York, May ia portion of
the recommendations of Frank B.
Kellogg and Charles Severance to the
interstate commerce commission con-
corning the Hartman railroad invest
igation has been published here. 1t
reviews the testimony, and holds that
railroad competition has been sup

between the Union and Southern Pa

all in violation of the Sherman anti.

to annul these agreements. 1t also
recomemnds that there should be new
and effective laws to prevent imitation
of securities and declares that the
profits of the great railroads of the far
west are being used to buy stocks and
control systems in the east instead of
building more roads for the develop

DEFENSE IN HAYWOOD TRIAL
MAKES A SERIOUS CHARGE. {.
Asks That Chief Executive Be Cited
for Contempt-Result of Or
chard Interview.

Boise, Idaho, May 1S.-At the open.
Ing of the Steunenberg murder trial
Friday Judge Wood directed the pros
ecuting attorney of Ada county to
Investigate the circumstances under
which Harry Orchard was interviewed
for publication Thursday, with a view
of ascertaining if there had been any
attempt to influence the jurors in the
case and to take such steps as he
found the circumstances to warrant.
In drawing attention to the matter
Judge Wood asked counsel if they
could offer any suggestions as to the
duty of the court.
Would Cite Governor for Contempt.
Mr.. Richardson vigorously de-
nounced the incident as a deliberate
attempt to influence prospective jur-
ors suggested by the disclosure of pre-
judice against Harry Orchard, and his
testimony and inspired by Governor
.Gooding. Mr.. Darrcw took the same
ground and suggested that Governor
iGooding be cited for contempt. Both
Mr.. Richardson and Mr.. barrow pro-
tested that the publication of the
Orchard interviews grievously injured
the defense.
Mr.. Hawley, for the tsate, deplored
the incident, but maintained that it
would injure the prosecution more
than the defense. He also drew at
tention to the widespread newspaper
campaign in behalf of the defense, and
the misstatements that had been cir
culated about Orchard, and SAID that
he could see no harm in permitting
the newspaper men to interview Or.
chard on general lines.
While the matter was under discus.
sion the witnesses and jury were ex
cused. The trial was interrupted for
an hour, at the end of which time the
examination of talesmen vas re
sumed.
