The Murder of Steunenberg.

Ex-Governor Steunenberg, OF Idaho.
having ended his official term with
credit, and retired to his homo In Cald-
well. laughed at the occasional ru-
mors OF threats against his life. The
Occur d'Alene affair had been so long
passed that 1t seemed incredible for
any one to be seeking revenge against
him on account of it. At the end of
1905, he, like everybody else III Idaho,
thought of 1T only as fading mem
ory.
But on the night of December Goth
of that year he was torn limb from
limb by bomb buried beneath his
front gate. as he was returning home
to dinner.
Immediate steps were taken to cap
ture the murderer The best detec-
tives in the land were summoned. Soon
they arrested a man who had been in
Caldwell for several weeks. His name
was Harry Orchard in Caldwell, though
1t was learned afterward that he had
been known elsewhere by other names
In his rented room were found the
paraphernalia of the bomb maker. a
neighbor had seen him, a few min
utes before the explosion. walk past
the eX-Governor's home. He was sent
to the penitentiary at Boise.
For time nothing in the way OF
a confession could be got out OF him.
Then McParlan. most skilled of all the
Pinkertons, known for Il quarter of
a century as the man who had routed
the Molly McGuires out OF Pennsyl-
vania in the seventies, was called into
the case. He visited Orchard In pris-
on.
Failing to elicit any information from
the prisoner, he adopted novel plan
to enforce candor. BY his orders Or
chard was placed in solit.rX cell. anu
no guard was allowed to spcak to him.
The man was to live i'll silence until
he released himself from its horrors.
No sign of the punshment's effects
were visible for few days, but then
TIE captive began to grow necvous.
Lis discomfort increased with the
days. until he was almost a wreck.
Suddenly McParlan said to him:
what will that old mother Of yours
think when she reads Of you in this
fx?"
McParlan's psychology had been ac-
curate. The prisoner responded to the
treatment by starting up from his scat
as though shocked by an electric bat
terry. He asked how the detective
knew of the old mother. His curiosity
vas not satisfied at the time, but in a
few days. after he had been tormonted
further. McParlan talked to him at
length about the home he had left
years before. about family and friends
Pnd childhood days. The prisoner
finally broke down completely, and said
he was ready to make a confession

HINTS FOR FARMERS


OF&SAFa FTNHAuAs
Too much emphasis cannot be lala
upon the importance Of the manner Of
severing limbs. The wound made by
removing the limb heals best II the
cut Is made close to the trunk or
branch. A stub two or three inches
long seldom or never heals and be-
comes a lodging place for spores Of
fungi and bacteria, which cause decay
and death to the tree. Wounds Of any
considerable size should be given q
coating Of paint or some other suitable
substance. A suitable dressing must
contain two distinct properties. It
must check the weathering Of the
wound and prevent the growth Of bac-
terra and fungi, and 1t must be Of such
a nature as not to injure the surround
ing bark. The dressing is Of no value
in the healing OF the wound except
that It prevents decay.
For general purposes a pure white
lead paint is satisfactory. 1t Is anti
septic, and 1t adheres closely to the
wood. Wax, shellac, tallow, etc, are
lacking in these respects. Bordeaux
mixture would be an admirable mate
rial for these purposes were It more
