jamestown Exposition Grounds, June
10.-There was large crowd at the
exposition grounds todsy to welcome
President Roosevelt and to hear bis
Georgia Day speech, as well as his
address before the National Editorial
Association. The weather WAS 6ne.
There was just enough breeze to keep the
sun's heat from depressing the soldiers
and sailors on march and the crowds on
shore had a full view of the impressive
naval review.
The President in his Georgia Day
speech referred in feeling manner to
the fact that Georgia was bis mothers
native State, "the State" he Said,"
from which / draw half the blood in my
veins. The Georgia State House at the
exposition is replica Of my grandfather's
house at Roswell, Ga, where my mother
passed her youth and where she was
married to my father. The President
then referred to many chapters in the
history OF Georgia, and subsequently to
his visits to every State in the union
since he became chief magistrate and
his observations while on his tour.
Among other things he said. "Now and
then we meet well-meaning people who
have genuine horror and dread of all
rich men and think OF them as being set
apart by peculiar vice and iniquity. Now
and theE we meet equally well-meaning
rich men who have an equally irrational
dread of those whom they style labor
leaders, In each case think the hos
tilily is in large part due to want of
sympathy caused by complete ignorance
of the men who arouse such distrust or
anger. As matter of fact, if we take
a number of old men of large fortune
and like number of wage-wOrkers, we
find that in their essential human nature
they are all alike. In each group we
find men as wise and as foolish, as good
and as bad as in the other group. Mr..
Roosevelt then reviewed the present COM
mercal conditions in this country and
made some practical suggestions con-
cernipg the same. owe have, he said,
''iuherited and developed a superbly self
reliant iGdividualism in this country.
| most earnestly hope that it will not
be lost, that it will never be exchanged
for deadening socialism" He made
references also to his railroad policy,
aud the safeguarding of lives on the
rail and on the water.
Mr.. Roosevelt in addressing the Ma
tionsl Editorial Association gave some
seasonabIe advice to the wielders to the
qnill concerning sensationalism and yell
low journalism, although the speech 10
the main referred to the resources of the
United States and politico-ecOnomic
questions.

MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10, 1907.

THE cross examination of Harry Or
chard, at Boise, Idaho, by bis own con-
fession the slayer Of eighteen men with
bulle.s and bombs, is likely TO last through
today and Tuesday and possibly longer.
Orchard has told a tale Of crime that
spread over the last eleven years Of his
life, the first thirty years being the COM
monplace story of Canadian farmland.
Bot beginning with 1897, he unfolded q
career in which, to nse the language of
the leading counsel for the state, B." as
sassination was trade and murder a
means of livelihood" Orchard, under
the questioning of the state, spared no
incident of his more recent life that
might prove to the jury his readiness
70 slaughter for low wage, and how IN
different he had been as to the number
OF condition of his victims. The story
brought out by the state was, however
merely q synopsis OF the play whose acts
cover the years since 1899. In every
act the climax sent q sbudder through
a crowded courtroom. Under cross
examination by counsel for Haywood
Orchard has developed this series OF
tragedies up to the year 1904. Three
more years and many murders are yet
10 De analysed. For purposes of its own
the defence is determined that Orchard
shall retell his life story to the most
diabolicsl or the most squalid detail be-
fore the men who are to pass on the queS-
ton whether Haywood Is guilty ofhiring
Orchard TO murder former Governor
S.eunenberg at Caldwell, Idaho, on De-
cember 80, 1905. Slowly but surely the
defence is developing the lines by which
it hopes to break down the story OF
Harry Orchard, so far as it effects Hay
wood. Ifitis possible to heap further
o5loquy on the witness they have done
80 by proving him capable ofpetty crimes
By bis own admission Orchard is biga-
mist, a thief, liar and an incendiary.
He has played the traitor to his employ
ers. He has deserted two wives and
his children. All Of these offences ne
has been forced to confess, but under
gruellng examination he has stuck to his
story in general and detail, Orchards
confession equals anything to be found
in the Wonderful Magazine and his at
trocites and those of his associates should
be expiated upon the highest gibbet that
eau be erected.

AMISsISSIPPI TRAGEDY.


Four white men, three of them brothers
all prominent in their county, and five
or more negroes have been shot to
death near AnIiDg, Miss; two negroes
were lynched and a number of others
wounded by a mob of avenging
whites on the Trigg plantation, near
ABIDING, Saturday afternoon, and the
race riot is not yet quelled. The
trouble was started by the refusal of a
negro tenant on The plantation to obey
orders issued by Trigg to do certain
work. The refusal was accompanied by
vile and insolent language, and the ne
gro, cursing Trigg roundly, was knocked
down by him.
As he arose the tenant drew pistol,
shooting Trigg, killing him Instantly.
He then fed to TO his cabin, Joined by
armed friends, aud barricadiog themsel-
YES, the negroes defed arrest.
Trigg's two brothers and party of
friends followed, and after fierce fix hit
forced the negroes into the open, but not
until the two younger Tiiggs and man
ager of the plantation we're MORALLY
wounded, all three dying shortly sfler-
ward.
The negro who killed the elder brother
and two more were shot 10 death as they
tried to escape, but three others got
away and sought refuge at the home Of
another tenant, where they wers re-en-
forced by from fifteen to fifty more blacks.
BY this time the report of the trouble
had reached Auding, and the planta-
tons near, and the whites, grimly bent
on desperate revenge, gathered 10 the
number Of 200 and another battle was
fought with Winchesters and shotguns.
No more OF the whites are reported
hurt, but two more negroes were killed.
A number Of blacks were wounded and
two were captured. These two were
strung up to the most convenient trees
and left hanging.
Andipg is a small station on the Hi
nois Central Railroad, thirteen miles
south Of Yazoo City, and is near the va
200 railroad.
The negro who started the trouble, Abe
johnson, was a leader Of the negroes
during reconstruction times, but since
the negroes have been put of politics he
and his family have been rated among
the peaceful and law-abiding members
of their race.

AT THE commencement exercises at
Syracuse University at Syracuse, n.
y, yesterday, the baccalaureate sermon
was delivered by Chancellor James R.
Day. He said 10 part;
The great hosts of the people are in
one common confusion, The distinction
between the executive, judicial and legis-
lative order is disappearing in form of
oligarchy named commissions, with an
autOcrscy at its head rs tyrannical as
the world has ever known. The democ-
racy Of this great republic is rapidly
becoming a farce. The infatuation Of
the people is burning fever for which
the only antifebrile is an appalling dis
sster, financial and political, from which
there is little hope OF escape. The SOW
ing of anarchy aud socialism has brought
The reapiDg of the whirlwind of hatred
OF government and Gods social order,
while the ranting cant Of tainted money
is reviving an old form of pharisaism.
Six billions of shrinksge in the prop
critics of the people, the immense losses
inst have come to small holders and
uncertsinly aud distrdst in all business
are costly warning of the danger Of
slCtous impulses aud demagOgic policies
il commerce and trade.
The above is doubtless true picture
OF present conditions 10 this country.

JINGOEs are again operating the Japa-
nese supplejsck, and endesvoring to
make people believe that fist fight in a
San Francisco bath house has brought
about strained relations between the
United States and the Mikado's country.
According TO dispatches printed today
in certain newspapers under Aaring head
lines, Japanese societies of the Pacific
coast are conspiring with the progressive
party in Japan and are endeavoriug to
stir up anti American feeling with the
object OF overthrOwing the present Japa-
nese ministry. Leaders of japanese So
cieties have, it is alleged, visited Wash
ingtOn and endeavored to coerce Am
bassador Aoki into demanding an amend
ment of the japanese immigration limi-
tatiOn law. Failing in this, they ac-
Cuse the Japanese Ambassador Of
treachery, and will demand his recall.
They would also force Foreign Minister
Hayashi TO demand an indemnity and
an apology from the United States for
the San Francisco incident. Oiotaka
Yamaoka and Count Okuma, heads of
the progressive party are in the movement
for the overthrow ofthe japanese govern
ment. That such alarmist rumors are not
likely TO crystslizo into facts is evident
from he last sentence of the above, as it is
shown that the japanese are by no
means united. A conservative element
is holding the reinsIof government, and
it is not likely 10 imbibe the reckless
spirit of agtstors. Besides the want Of
unanimity among her own people, Japan
has about as much SIS she can convenient
iy handle at present in pscifying Korea
and smoothing over friciiODs with China.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way 10 cure deafness, and that is by con-
siitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inhamed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustaehisn Tube. When this tube is
inAamed you have rambling sound or i'm.
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed De4fntss is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored TO its normal condition. hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
