harry orchard. Ions. Counsel
for the state said they were satisfied.
James FL. Hawley made the opening
address for the state, the keynote of
which was that the inner circle Of the
business Of murder and assassination
through employed agents and that the
defendants had been for years active
members of this inner circle. When
the defense objected to Hawley's ref
erence to various other crimes charged
against the federation as being not
germane to the present case Judge
Wood sustained the states attorney,
holding that whatever the state ex-
pected to prove could be referred to in
the address. This did not mean that
the matters referred to would not be
passed upon when offered in evidence.
The first days evidence came from
witnesses who had personal knowledge
of the killing of Steunenberg. Among
them was the son Of the slain man,
who told how Orchard, passing under
the name of Hogan, had approached
him shortly before the assassination
and asked him the whereabouts of his
father
The state led out with it's trump
card next day by calling to the stand
Harry Orchard, who says his real
name is Albert Horsley, but who
passed under many aliases and who
confesses that he laid the bomb that
killed Steunenberg. With some lead
ing questions. he was led to tell in de-
tell long story Of various murders
AID attempted murders, which nefari-
Gus work he says he performed at the
instigation and in the pay of the off,
GERS Of the Federation Of Miners who
are now under indictment in connec-
ton with the Steunenberg murder. He
said he was Canadian by birth and
after moving into the mining region Of
the northwest became a memb of the
miners union and achieved reputa-
ton by executing sentence of death
and destruction upon those who op-
posed the purposes of the union. He
fecounted attaching the fuse which
blew up the Bunker Hill mill in 1899,
of attempting the assassination Of
Governor Peabody, and recited in de-
tail how he and his assistant, Steve
Adams, blew up the station at indie
pe2C"nce, Cello, where fourteen nom
uns"2 miners We're killed. The cul-
n.i"2tion Of his bloody recital came
June g.. when he told of the murder
of Steunen oerg.
A. the outset Orchard showed signs
OF embarrassment and had to be en-
coUraged to make his answers audible,
but he told his awful story with re-
variable calmness and self possession,
while the man he sought to implicate,
Hay wood, listened intently to every
word and looked directly at him, evil
dentlF trying to catch his eye, which
the witness avoided. The defense OBJ
jectea to the early parts of the story
on the ground that they did not appear
to be connected with Haywood in any
way, but the court overruled this OBJ
lection, saying that such parts would
be stricken out If not proved germane.
Orchard told of meeting Haywood.
Meyer and Pettibone at different times,
when. he says, they paid him money
for the various crimes he had com
nlitted and praised him for what he

Threw a Scare" into the Populace

The oldest Sc ttler" in this
stretch of Nebraska's fertile re-
gion has been put out of business
by the weather that has pre-
vailed this spring, especially by
the wiudstorm between II and
y Monday night, and frankly
admits that he ''never saw any
thing like it as far back as forty
nine years" The populace, ac-
cording to report next morning,
was spontaneously awakened
from peaceful sleep by terrific
rush Of wind that shook the
sildings on their foundations
and Tor an hour continued with
heavy gusts interspersed with
per ect Gains, and with each
calm The aforesaid populace
prayed there would be no more
telrorlziug gusts, but they came,
regardless of supplication, and
then che pupulace momentarially
expected the displacement of the
roof from over their heads. A
number of windows were blown
in, including a few plate glass
cues, but no damage to humanity
Is reported. A light shower
accompanied the wind, but not
of sufIiciency to lay the dust.
1t is safe to say that-while the
storm lasted none Of our citizens
thought they would be here to
help celebrate the 4th of July.

UNCLE LON is
NOT AFRAID
But Will Talk Over Situation
With Friends.

ATLANTA, GA, Sept 19.-(Spec-
iaI) -Congressman Livingston will
hold caucus here to discuss with
political friends his next race for
Congress.
1t is stated that there will be a full
discussion of the outlook throughout
the district and that as a result of
the conference Livingston will soon
announce his platform.
Livingston processes confidence in
his entire ability to carry the district
as easily as heretofore. The an
nouncement of Payson and others do
not seem to have phased him in the
slightest degree. He apparently does
not believe that any one can ride into
Congress over him by reason of any
connection with the recent prohibit
ton fight. PaysOn's main reliance
is in the prohibition sentiment to
which he is appealing.

agement of the Johnson e Harold
Warehouse Co., resulting from the
death of the lamented Mr.. I. B..
Harold.
The business will be continued right
on as heretofore.
While Mr.. Harrold's was the strong
guiding hand at the helm for 50
many years, his sons, long associa-
ted with him, will take up the work
he has reIinquished.
Messrs. Thomas and Frank P Har-
rold were almost reared in the office
of this great firm which, for a half
century, has been so well identified
with the upbuilding of Americas and
the development of southwestern Geor-
gia
These young men, representing to
large extent the estate Oh JuelI Id
Their, will carry on the extensive bust
ness of the old firm of Johnson &
Harold at the same stand.
Mr.. Thomas Harold will be in
charge of the cotton warehouse de-
partment, assisted by Frank P. Har-
rold, the latter looking more directly
after other branches of the business
of which there are several very i'm
portant departments.
Mr. Harper Bivins, for twenty-five
years the faithful, popular and eff
cient salesman, will continue on
with the house.
Relative to the affairs of the late
Mr. Z. 3. Harold, it is understood
that he left no will directing the dis
tribution of his large estate, and for
the present at least, it will remain
intact.

much and stopped painting them to the

Carnegie is probably right While
there is undoubtedly vice and wick

it is doubtful if they are in any great

When Texas was admitted to the
Union she had been a republic for
several years and one of her com

be held by the state to be given to
the veterans of the struggle with
Mexico. This distribution, however,
made hardly no impression on the
vast public acreage of the state and
now Texas desires the national gov

Today Italians Commemorate
Nationality.

ROME, Sept. 19-(Special) -Cele-

try of the Italian troops into Rome
on September 20, 1870, will be held
tomorrow throughout Italy, this date
marking the unity of the Italian mon
archy All business will be suspend
ed and the day, as usual, observed
as a national holiday. In Rome the
anniversary will be made the occa-
sion of a great demonstration of So
cialists and radicals of all kinds, mar
ching through the streets carry
ing red banners. Serious outbreaks
directed against the priests are feared
and troops have been stationed in
all parts of the city, with orders to
mete out summary punishment to
disturbers. The pope has issued a
prohibition against any member, male
or female of monastic institutions
quitting their confines and appearing
in public. The king has given his
personal assurance to the papal au-
thorities that every possible precau-
ton will be taken to protect the lives
of the priests, and it is believed that
any widespread attempt at violence
can be checked by the police and the
troops.
