pastor. Many OF those among whom
he walked so many years feel that. a
friend has passed into the Great Be-

note the good, loving to praise rather
than to blame.
But it ives in his home life that Mr..

Here he was always at his highest and
best. No changes of fortune, no
multiplicity of cares caused him to
cast a cloud over the home atmo-

always pleasant. As he advanced in
years his heart grew more'tender, his
nature moro gentle. His whole later
life was a testimony that he was striv-

mortal. He seldom spoke the thoughts
most sacred, but it is our lives that

Mr.. Brown was returning home and
as he opened bis gate the bomb ex
ploded, wounding Mr.. Brown and
blowing in the windows Of his house.
The explosion was heard in the cen.
ter of town, half a mile away.
The chief Of police and county au.
thorities are wholly unable to fathom
any cause for the deed and they are
also unable to obtain any clue to the
perpetrators Of it.
MI. Brown had just returned from a
trip out of town to some mining prop
erty. He was found lying on the side
walk several feet from the gate, the
large posts Of which were blown to
pieces and the fence shattered for
some distance. The perpetrators left
no trace of their deed except a wire
which extended about twenty-five feet
north along the fence and then went
about thirty feet to the middle of
the road.

CRIMINAL NEWS.

The first sensation in the trial of
Senator William E. Borah 1T Boise,
Ida, came when Albert X. Lanop MI
gent, the second witness produced by
the government, admitted on cross
examination that he committed per-
Jury in taking out a timber land claim;
admitted that he had been promised
immunity by an officer Of the federal
government for testifying and that at
the request of the federal officer he
had sworn to a complaint against a
man whom he did not know.
The federal grand jury at San Fran
cisco returned five indictments Of l24
counts against the Southern Pacific
Railroad company and the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, charging viola.
tions Of the interstate commerce law.
These indictments, if followed by con
victions, are sufficient to render the
corporation liable to fines a%ggregating
$4,000 to $2,4sO,OOO.
G. H. Foster, auditor for Swift &
Co.. at South st. Paul, has not been at
his office since Sunday, Sept. %, and
it is claimed that his books show ir-
regularities. The officials of the COM
pany are not prepared to state the
amount of the discrepancy, but it has
been estimated as high as $4,000.
Amasa G. Campbell, a wealthy lum-
Der merchant Of Amigo, Wis, who
killed DR.. Benjamin F. Harris in the
Stock Exchange building at Chicago
last winter, has been found guilty of
m~anslaughter. The jury recommend

tence allowed by law.

Intention of Defendants Attorneys in
Borah Case,

Boise, Ida, Oct. 2.-What probably
will be the last day of the prosecu-
tion in the Borah case began with the
introduction of evidence to show that
the defendant, in his capacity as at
torney for the Barber Lumber com.
pany, had many deeds to timber lands
recorded in the Office of the county
clerk in this city. The defense an
nounced that this could in no way
connect Senator Borah with any GRIM
inal conspiracy and that they were
ready to concede the fact without n
testimony whatever. The government
attorneys declined to accept the offer.
1t is stated that Senator Borah's coun-
sci will move to have the case taken
from the jury Immediately after the
government closes.

the last fifty years is a marvel to the
world. Americans are proud to record
q 'fact that Japan has always had
the cordial sympathy and at times the
enective aid of. the United States. For
. moment-for a moment only-a lit
ue u came ove the sunshine of
the fast friendship of fifty years. Only
the greatest earthquake of the century
could cause even the slightest tremor
between such friends. I do not intend
to consider the details Of the events
at a Francisco; I cannot ~trespass
on the jurisdiction of the department
OF state. It is for my colleague, MI.
Root, or my friend, Mr.. O'Brien, to
discuss this matter.
Resort to War Unnecessary.
u say that there is nothing in these
events that cannot be honorably and
fully arranged by ordinary diplomatic
methods between the two govern.
ments, conducted as they both are by
statesmen of honor, sanity and JUS
tlce. War between Japan and the
United States would. be a crime
against modern civilization. It would
be insane. Neither the people of ia
pan nor the people Of the United
States desire val. The governments
OF the two countries would strain ev-
cry point to avoid such an awful catas-
trophe. Neither. would gain any
thing.
Some one asks why such reports
and rumors of war? The capacity of
certain members of the modern press
by sensational dispatches to give rise
to unfounded reports has grown with
the improvement of communication be-
tween distant parts of the world. The
desire to sell papers, the desire for
political reasons to embarrass the ex-
listing government or other and even
less justifiable motives have led to
misstatements, demonstrations and
unfounded guesses, all worked into
terrifying headlines which have no
foundation whatever"
After the banquet the assemblyroom
was the scene Of a remarkable mani
festation of good will, everybody con
graduating everybody else on what
was considered to be a complete re-
moval of the little cloud" which had
been hanging over the fifty years of
friendship between the United States
and Japan and rejoicing at the fact
a final damper had been put upon
sensational utterances regarding the
possibility OF strained relations be.
tween tha two countries.
