among the horses up on the ST. Joe
river and in the adjacent timber
camps.
The McGoldrlck Lumber company,

The disease first attacks the upper
aud tender parts Of the horses hoof
where the latter meets the flesh.
Small sores appear. gradually extend
ing over larger and larger areas as
the afllictioD develops. 1t finally
spreads over the entire body, until
whenever horse rubs himself or lies
down the point .! contact breaks out
10 running sores, the horse becon ng
weaker day by day. The horses live
for a long time until they are killed
by the authorities, scores having been
DESTROYED 10 hope Of stamping out
the desease but without success.
Many OF the horses are large and
valuable ones, but the maiady attacks
one and all, irrespective Of their
health or care. .&
Several we'll known veterinarians
have visited and treated the cases,
but are ata loss to understand The
disease and claim 1t is beyond their
knowledge Or power to cure. Dr..

NO more important question con-
fronts the American public toda,
thaa that Of our public lands. AS al
able statesman has said:
They are our national insuranc,
policy, insuring national resources i,
future generations. Shall we com
promise or destroy this polcy?"
In recent speech President Roose

tute tn" fundamental problem which
underlies almost every other problem
or our national life

cuted and those who fear prosecution
by US, naturally endeavor to break
down the policy under which alone
The home makers rights can be Sc.
cured. and the lands preserved for the
use of himself and his children"
And he is backing up his beliefs by
a determined effort to enforce the
laws and thereby stop the looting of
the public domain. In this actiou
he Is supported by the sentiment of
the Western people, as well as those
familiar with these questions 10 the
East.
Notwithstanding this, there is a
keenly interested element 10 the
West, made up largely of men in
public Office, associated more or less
intimately with the monopolstic
timber, coal mining and railroad
interests ably supported by the So
called System" of the East, who are
are opposing these new policies,
claiming that they are un-American,
visionary and autocratic, and that
the best interests of the settler and
the progress of the West are jeopar-
died.
Both sides Of these most interest
ing questions will be ably discussed
ia a series, of articles by a prominent
Western writer, entitled: "The Way
of the Land Transgressor," beginning
with the August issue of THE PACI-
FIC MONTHLY, presenting to the
reader the unvarnished truth, thereby
affording an excellent opportunity to
Judge who and what is right.
1t may be said that these articles,
while not addressed to lovers of SEN
sationallsm, will present in drama,

more important frauds against the
public domain, together with a study
of the personalities Involved. They
will be profusely illustrated with a
series of remarkable photographs,

together with sketches from life of
public men whose names are asso-

GOES FREE
Not Guilty Of numbering Ex-Governor
Frank Steunenbers.
TERMINATION ofCREAT TRIAL
Pettibone Trial Next. .-Moyer Re-
leased on Bail.

and treasurer of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, was acquitted
by the jury in the district court at
Boise last Sunday morning OF the
charge of completely in the murder
ofex Governor Frank Steunenberg.
The jury was out all OF Saturday
afternoon and the night following.
The first ballot showed eight jury
men for acquittal, two for convic-
ton and two blank; on the second
the two who voted blank voted
with the majority, the two for con-
viction being brought over later,
after much argument and honest
difference Of opinion.
Judge Wood called the jury in
to court and in three minutes had
announced the verdict, discharged
Haywood from custody and dis
missed the jury.
The verdict is final as regards
Haywood. Chas. H. Meyer, presi-
dent Of the federation was ordered
released on $25, 600 bail. Geo. A.
Pettibone, the third of the alleged
conspirators will be held, his trial
being set for Tuesday, Oct. /, He
may also apply for release on bail
but it is believed doubtful If the
state will admit il.
The trial of Haywood lasted 80
days and focused the attention Of
the entire nation. Harry Orchards
confession was the sensation of
the trial and was the foundation
of the case which the state tried
to make to show conspiracy by
the officers of the Western Fedora
ton OF Miners to destroy officials
who had opposed the methods of
the federation. The witnesses
examined on both sides numbered
$50. James H. Hawley, chief
counsel for the state made the
opening argument. Attorney
Richardson opened the argument
for the defense and Clarence Dar-
row of Chicago closed it. Oar
rows speech was sensation. He
attempted to justify acts Of violence
by strikers, denounced the capita
listic class, religion, Christianity,
and condemned institutions OF
learning, education and culture as
all instruments to keep down the
laboring class. Senator w. E.
Borah made the closing argument
for the state. His address, which
was regarded masterpiece by all
who heard it, lasted seven hours.
He fiercely denounced the senti-
ments of Richardson and Darrow,
yet his analysis Of the case was so
masterful and his deductions so
fair that at the close he was con-
graduated by Darrow and the de-
fendant, both of whom testified to
his absolute fairness. Judge
Wood delivered his instructions to
the jury Saturday forenoon and the
jury retired for its deliberations
shortly after the noon hour.
Later.-A formal application
was made Tuesday to have Geo.
A. Pettibone admitted to bail but
was promptly denied by Judge
Wood. The motion was SUBJ
mitted without argument.

washington D. c., July 90 TIE
Strike OF the miners in the Lake
superior region is more likely to at.
tract the attention OF the federal gov.
ernment than any other labor dlstur.
Dance since the coal strike. IL is
important 10 the industrial world 10
that 1t is likely to seriously affect the
whole of the iron and steel industry
and through that the prosperity OF
the whole country. But more than
that, 1t is important as it shows
move Of the Western Federation of
Miners toward the east. The men
who have organized the strike 10 the
Mesaba country are agents OF the
Western Federation and they are
driving from work men who were
perfectly satisfied and who did not
want to strike. The most of the
miners 10 this region are Slavs and
Hungarians with a good many
Italians and some Spaniards. They
are more easily terrorized than native
born Americans and thousands Of
them have already quit the ore fields.
The strike organizers are employing
the usual tactics OF the Western Fed

out. An appeal has already been
sent to Washington for the depart.
ment of commerce and labor to use
its good offices 10 settling the strike,
but with situation like that ia
Minnesota, created especially fol the
purpose of setting labor and capital
at each others throats, there Is not
much prospect of settlement without
first some blood letting either actual
or metaphorical.
There is considerable interest 10
the state department at the success Of
the japanese government 10 dlverting
the attention OF the japanese public
from the United States to Korea.
There has never been a "sltuation"
approaching casus belli between the
the japanese and the American
government. They understand each
other perfectly, but the Japanese
government was not strong enough to
brave popular anger and the efforts
of the Jingo party 10 Japan was a
continuous irritant to an already sore
spot. Therefore IL was that the row
in Korea happened at such an op-
perfume moment. And If some
American officials are to be believed,
it was stirred up more by the Japa
nese government than by the Koreans.
1t is even said that the alleged Korean
delegation sent to protest at The
Hague was really composed Of Japa
Dese 10 disguise and was intended
merely to give the color of an excuse
for Japan to take over to Korea. OF
course the japanese wanted the
country. They always have wanted
i. and they intend ultimately to have
it. But the present moment was
very opportune for making the grab,
and it has worked SO beautifully that
dispatches from Toxic say one hears
nothing now of the .American stu
alton" and the attention Of the whole
country is centered on Korea. OF
course 1t is little hard on the
Koreans, but still the state depart
ment officials are watching the stu
alton with composure.

DRIVEN INSANE BY DISGRACE
Conviction Of Her Brother Sends Sioux
City Woman to an Asylum.

Sioux City, April 1S.-Grieving and
worrying over the conviction Of her
brother, John Leckband. clerk for a
department store, for stealing, Mrs.
Josephine Cricket has become insane
and Is in the state asylum at Cherokee.
Leckband, who has heretofore borne
a good reputation, expected toeprove by
his sister that some of the goods found
in his home had been purchased by her
and was not the property of the COM
pany for which he worked. Mrs.
Cricket appeared in court, but was so
hysterical she was not permitted to
testify.
The following day his attorney in
sisted upon bringing Mrs. Cricket to
court. as her evidence was necessary
to clear Leckband. The latter, fearing
his sister was going insane. declined to
have her testify, declaring he would
take the limit rather than subject her
to further worry. His sacrifice, how
ever, was unavailing, for Mrs. Cricket
is mad, her trouble becoming more
acute when she learned that her broth
er had been convicted.
