No Criticism to Make.

Mrs. Hwfa Williams, the English So
ciety leader, talked at a dance in New
York about the fashion of riding
astride that has taken hold of English
equestriennes.
Some of our young women" said
Mrs. Williams, dress out and out like
men. They wear a long coat cut like
q hunting coat, a cap, riding breeches
and top boots. 1t is a handsome cos
tune and it is not immodest, but I'M
doubtedly it attracts a good deal Of
attention. They have been telling in
London lately a story about an Eng
fish girl who has adopted this riding
rig. Pulling up her horse n after
noon she said to an artisan who was
passing: Can you tell me if this is the
way to Wareham?'
THE man looked her over carefully.
Then he touched his cap in a respect
full manner and replied: Yes, miss,
yes-you seem to ave got 'em on all
right"

Fish story.

"Trout %protectionl Nonsense!" said
a gunner Of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks, for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's a common thing for a
trout to jump from the water, seize a
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate
fowl into the depths sufficiently to
leave its feet sticking in the air, where
1t can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at it's leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts.
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be a match for one
of their fish stories

Boise, Idaho.-No one living in the
Rocky mountain regions can have an
unprejudiced opinion regarding the
S-teunenberg murder trial. This is
the most important event that has
occurred in western America in re-
cent years, and William d. Haywood,
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners, charged with the murder of
Idaho's governor, has half the popu-
lation of the entire western country
with him and half against him. This
is the elimination of a long line of
bloodshed in the mining camps, begin
ming in the Occur d'Alene's mines Is
years ago, and eliminating in the
bloody mining riots in Colorado. The
prosecution aims to show that all the
crimes in the mining camps which
appeared at the time to have their
motive in the existing bad feeling be-
tween the mine owners and the West
ern Federation of Miners were
planned by the Inner Circle" of the
federation. OF this the three officials
indicted for the murder of Gov.
Steunenberg we're members, and the
crimes committed were supposed to
be carried out under their directions.
The defense is confident of it's ability
to disprove these allegations, as well
as the charges made in Orchards
confession" described further on in
this article.
At the time of the Wardner riots
in the Occur d'Alenes, Gov. Steunen-
berg, in the absence of the Idaho
militia in the Philippines, asked for
federal aid, and Gen. Merriam estab-
lished such stringent military rule
that Gov. S%teunenberg gained the en-
nifty of the entire Western Federation
of Miners. Two years later Steunen-
berg retired from office and returned
to his home in Caldwell. Four years
later, returning home from his office
at six o'clock on the night of Decem-
Der 80, 1905, he swung open his gar
den gate, and a mine that had been
set for him exploded and tore his
body to pieces. His head was found
a block away.
TWO Confessions" Made.
Investigation implicated Harry Or
chard and Stephen Adams in the muir
Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1907-06-06

trial, and many excuses have been
made to account for it. The Idaho
laws provide that a mar cannot be con
lvicted of a crime on the uncorrobor-
Iated confession of an accomplice. 1t is
stated thai the prosecution has delayed
because it was unable to obtain cor
r%oboration of Harry Orchards confess
sion. The district attorney yields no
information on this point. But since
the prosecution is now taking up the
case, it is presumed that it has stronger
evidence against Meyer, Haywood, and
Pettibone than the confessions of
Harry Orchard and Stephen Adams.
The fact that Adams has retracted his
confession practically destroys it as
evidence, and Orchard is understood
to be in so weakened a state of mind
that he will not be able to take the
stand, and the prosecution will be
forced to seek to have his sworn testi-
mony, on which the indictments were
brought, admitted as evidence in the
form of afidayits.
The confessions of Harry Orchard
and Steve Adams for the murder of ex-
Gov. Steunenberg were obtained by
James Mcfarland of the Pinkerton
detective service, who broke up the
Mollie Mcguire gang in Pennsylvania
in the seventies, and secured the con-
viction and execution Of II members.

this train was to return at two o'clock
in the morning, Orchard, according to
his Confession, was ordered by Sec
rotary Haywood of the Federation to
wreck the train on a very dangerous
curve. The attempt to wreck the train
was made; spikes were pulled from a
rail- on a curve of a 300-foot embank-
ment. when I was ordered to wreck
that train" says Orchard in his con
fession," Il said 1 would not do 1t. And
l was the man who passed the word to
the conductor, warning him to look
out" The conductor took warning and
the wreck was averted.

Tells Of Another Crime.

In the long story of his Confession"
Orchard tells of many things. He con-
fessed to the blowing up of the hide
pendence railroad station. The Find
lay mine, at independence, Colo, en-
ployed nonunion men. The plan, Or
chard says, was to kill off two shifts
at once by blowing up the railroad sta
ton as one shift was going to work
and another leaving. Two o'clock in
the morning was the hour selected.
Orchard says that this crime was
framed up" in Haywood's room in
Denver. Haywood made his get
away by inducing a saloonkeeper
named Neville to burn down his sa-
loon, get the insurance money, and
then to travel north through the noun
tains. On the first night out, Orchard
pretended to have forgotten his gun,
and rode back in the night with the
ostensible purpose Of getting it. At
that time he says he laid the mine
which tore 10 mon limb from limb and
crippled six more for life.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get tho
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and 1neness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
liance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
ar strength than other makes.
Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1907-06-06

The Confession" contained accounts
of efforts made to get two judges.
In one instance Orchard says he had
planted a bomb just outside the gate
before Judge Goddard's house, buried
six inches below the surface, on the
outside Of the gate post, covered with
a piece of sacking, and attached to a
fine wire connected with a small bottle
of acid, which lay above a heap Of
potash and sugar, deity placed over
the explosive. The little wire from the
bomb came just above the surface and
a hshhook was fastened to the end OF
it. A screw eye was driven into the
gate and a piece of iron wire was at
tached to it. When the two wires were
connected the slightest opening of the
gate would explode the bomb. But
Judge Goddard, said Orchard, constant
ly failed to come when he was expect
ed, and the Sob" was forced to wait
until Orchard should finish some other
work he had on hand. The time never
came when Orchard was able to set
the mine.

fessions they stated that they were

Miners depends on the validity Of the
confession Of Harry Orchard and It's
power to convict
The complaint that two terms OF
court has passed before the cases were
brought to trial was made the basis Of
b motion to have the case dismissed a
few weeks ago. The motion was over
ruled, Senator Borah arguing that the
trial could not previously have been
legally held under the laws of Idaho,
as habeas corpus proceedings were
pending in the supreme court.
The defense then petitioned for
change Of venue from Caldwell to
Boise. This was granted by Judge
Wood, the defense agreeing not to
bring up the question Of change Of
venue again. Judge Wood then set the
trial of Haywood for May 8 in Boise.
About this trial centers the greatest
interest, as the fate Of Haywood will
decide the fate of the others, since all
three of the indicted men we're equally
implicated by Harry Orchard.
Could Not Have Trial Earlier.

criticised for allowing a whole year to

Everybody looked at him with
amazement, respect and awe How
strong-willed he must be, they said;
how a%scetic, how spiritual 1t was ire
hendous.
And yet" said a pale vegetarian,
"all women, or at least 80 per cent. Of
them, maintain this wonderful absti-
hence their whole life long. Why
don't you praise them for it,"
With his medicated handkerchief
he brushed the sneer from his lips.
I'VE men," he said, beside women
are hogs. We call our women silly;
we won't give them the vote; but the
average woman lives on a higher
plane than the average man. She
thinks Of nobler things than money

Did you ever hear your wife
growl about the cooking? Did you
ever hear Of a woman epicure? No;
woman is above the hoglike pleasures
of the table. She is above such a
tobacco and whisky seance as is now

The vegetarian put on his cap Of
medicated flannel, and, despite the
warmth of the night, drew the flannel

Orchards Remarkable story.


According to his own confession, Or
chard was the principal assassin in the
pay Of the Western Federation Of
Miners. hired to get rid Of objection
able persons. A remarkable side to
his story is his care not to injure per
sons not enemies of the Federation.
He planned many times, he confessed,
to assassinate Gov. Peabody of Col.
orado, but, as he says in his "confes-
sion. Il could have got Gov. Peabody
time and time again, if l had not been
afraid of blowing up those Peabody
girls"
He tells in another place how he de-
liberately foiled a determination on the
part of the Federation to destroy a
whole trainload of innocent people.
There was a military ball at Victor,
Colo, Nov. IA, 1903, in the midst Of the

military was in control, and the
miners objected to the martial law. A

saying that it was obtained from him

All Idaho is torn between the prose-
cution and defense in this trial. Al
though broken by great ranges Of
mountains and divided into separate
sections by lack of through railroad
connections, Idaho is a unit and its
progressive citizens are we'll %acquaint-
ed in all parts of the state. The popu-
lation is small. but enlightened. Rich
mines and irrigated farms have pro-
duced a great deal of wealth, and the
resultant culture has not weakened
the moral fiber of its citizens. The
people of Idaho are a very high class
of Americans.
Trial Made Labor Issue.
The prosecution of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone has been made a
labor issue throughout the United
States. For a year and more meet
ings have been held, ending with a
sensational series in all the large
cities a few weeks ago. in which the
prosecution was declared a persecu-
ton. and the question was asked:
Shall our brothers be murdered?'
The purpose of these meetings was to
obtain money with which to conduct
the defense, and over a quarter of a
million dollars has been raised.
There is tremendous interest in the
trial all through the west, even in
portions where there are no mines or
miners. 1t is most talked of in labor
circles. There the spirit regarding
the trial is good. All the labor unions
ask is a fair and speedy trial. They
have reserved their judgment and are
willing to stand by the judgment of
any - good men.
The trial will cost the state of Idaho
over 5000, 900. The defense expects to
spend even more. 1t has $1,000, coo
belonging to the Western Federation
of Miners, besides the $4,000 raised
in public meetings. James H. Haw-

lawyer, now of Boise, Idaho, and Sen.

Murder Of steunenberg.

When ex-Gov. S%teunenberg was muir
dered, Dec. 80, 1905, the nature of the
death trap set for him and seemingly
the probable motive for the act pointed
suspicion toward the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners. James Mcfarland, SUI
perintendent of the western branch of
the Pinkerton service, with his Office
IN Denver, took up the case. Three
days after the murder Mcfarland ar
rested Harry Orchard, in whose room
in a hotel in Caldwell was found a sus-
picious white powder and some letters.
In his trunk in the railroad station, it
is claimed, were found materials for
making bombs, a cipher code, and let
ters from 5everal Federation officials,
containing instructions and advice.

pn his nerves by placing him in soil

trust in Orchards mind, and left him
