A Great Roast!

Over a CON of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee is roasted at a time, in large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in suffi-
Gent demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepara-
ton.
The sales of ArbuclIles' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales Of all other
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very magni-
tude, reduces our cost to a minimum,
and enables us, with our other adyant-
ages, to give better value in Arbuckles'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else.
Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in the
world, and the best Of all for
you.

Tent is Big One.-Thc monster
tent III which the concerts of the SweG-
ish Singers convention are to be held
will arrive in Moline from Minneapolis
next Monday, and by that time every
thing will be ready at Athletic field for
its erection. Mayor Olson has notified
the two choruses that the slough,
which has been created at the east end
OF the park by the recent wet weather,
will be drained, and that the line of
fence along the north side, which has
topplcd over, will be rebuilt. This will
put the park in perfect condition for
accommodation of the large crowds
which will attend the concerts. The
size of the tent, which will be used as
an auditorium, has operated to reduce
admission prices for the concerts. AT
former conventions held at st. Paul
Minneapolis, Chicago Rochester, etc,
the general admission charge was 81,
and reserved seats were 81 additional
This has been cut i'll half for the Mo-
line convention, making the admission

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.
Orchard Tells Of Plot to Dynamite a
House Where 150 Men Lived.

Boise, Idaho. June 12.-The attack
Of the Haywood defense on the testi-
mony of Harry Orchard goes on and
the witness will probably be continued
on the stand two days more.
Tuesday began with the dynamiting
Of Fred Bradley in San Francisco. The
defense made n long effort to expose
several features of it to doubt and to
vitiate II all by revealing the hand Of
the Pinkertons.
Then the play went back to Denver
for the winter of 1904.05 and the
spring that followed and there was an
EFFORT TO show that Orchard had no
communication with the leaders of the
federation; that he received no pay
for the Bradley crime or anything else,
and that with Steve Adams, in a
period of extreme poverty extending
over several months he was reduced
to the necessity Of stealing a sheep
from the Globeville stock yards that
he might have food.
Orchard confessed that he stole the
sheep. but denied 1t was because of
want. He insisted that all through
that hard winter and spring he drew
money from Pettibone.
This Globeville inquiry developed
another shocking crime. At this Den
yer suburb there was a plot-Orchard
swore it was inspired by Max Malich;
the defense claimed that Orchard was
its authorize dynamite boarding
house where $50 non-union men lived,
and in preparation for the murder en-
bloc Orchard, Adams and man
named Joe Mahalich broke into two
magazines and stole 900 pounds of
dynamite which they lugged home at
night and buried in their cellar The
crime was abandoned, Orchard said.
because Haywood forbade him to have
anything to do with it.
Orchard, who confesses that he hesi.
tated at no crime, called himself a
coward He said he was too cowardly
to openly kill Judge Gabbert; that he
regarded all his acts as cowardly.
Denver, June 12.-"Steve Adams
will not testify for the prosecution In
the Haywood case" This was the
declaration OF Acting Secretary Kir.
wan, OF the Western Federation Of
Miners, to the convention Tuesday. He
returned from Boise Monday night
and said that Haywood's lawyers have
the assurance from Adams that he win
repudiate his confession" II he is
placed on the stand by the state.
