management OF the Agricultural

as horticulturallsts and agrioultur-

with what wisdom those needs

We got back home among our own

way. and we proceeded neverthe-

This is the same local society
we have today and want simply
to remind you that all the horti-

our own local society. And also
all local arrangements for that
last summers institute were made
by this society and necessary ex-

The institute OF last week was
secured by this socieiy's efforts,
and after some OF the officers of
the Delta County Horticultural
Society-organized in Del last
winter-gave US their opinion
that an institute could not be Sc.
cured for Paonia this year, and we
were informed that they had pre-

Prof. Paddock in Delta over the

came very near having serious
trouble with another town in the

WITNESS WAS STUBBORN.
Refused to Testify Unless Court Room
Was Cleared of Spectators.


Kalispell, Mont-Proceedings in
the trial of Joe Hobbins, aged 10, al
legged accessory to the murder of the
Yoakums, father and son, were stall
ed and the court faced a quandary for
thirty minutes, when Fred Lebeau,
the chief witness for the state and
now awaiting sentence under convic-
ton of first degree murder, fatty re-
fused to testify further unless spec
tators should be excluded from the
room. Lebeau went to bed on the
previous night declaring he would
never enter the court room except to
receive sentence, unless you take me
there dead" He relented in the
morning under the condition that the
court room be vacated, which was &C
complished after an explanation by
Deputy Sheriff Ingraham. Then LIE
beau answered freely during the
morning session. But when the spec
tators declined to again vacate in the
afternoon the witness remained OBJ
durate after repeated admonitions by
the court and fine of $25 had been
entered for contempt When IN
formed of this action Lebeau remark
ed that it made no difference, as he
expected to hang anyway. At b

cleared and Lebeau went on the
stand and answered all questions and

VICTIMS OF DYNAMITE.
Ten Men Accidentally Killed While
Working on Panama Canal.

Colon.-A giant blast Of dynamite
was prematurely exploded in the ca
nal workings at Bias Obispo on Satur-
day. Ten men were killed and fifty
injured. Bas~ Obispo cut is about
thirty miles from Colon, and the
shock of the explosion was distinctly
felt here.
Numerous reports ARE current as to
the causes of the accident, but the of
fetal version from Culebra, which
gives an estimate of ten killed and
fifty wounded, states that during the
loading of the last hole of the blast
the dynamite in this cut was dis
charged and the remaining twenty
two tons were exploded by concus-
sion. The holes had not been con-
nected electrically, as the discharge
of the blast was set for o'clock in
the afternoon. The last hole was be-
ing loaded under supervision of one of
the most efficient powder men in the
employ of the commission.

Insurance Man Freed by Court.

president of the Metropolitan Life In

supreme court on Friday in a decis-
ion that, If 1t stands, will serve to
quash all indictments now outstanding
against insurance officials. This is,
according to statement by District
Attorney Jerome, who, however, ex-
poets to take the case to the court
of appeals. Mr.. Hegeman was
charged with perjury in the vertical

politan Life Insurance company to
the superintendent OF insurance in
January, 1905. The matter reached
the appellate division of the supreme
court through habeas corpus proceed

For financing the great building an
initial fund of $3.50 900 was left by the
late Archbishop Kahn. 81 900 has been
subscribed by the clergy, and $430 900
more by individual contributors. The
archdiocese is engaged in raising an.
other half million for the completion
of the superstructure.
With the finishing of the building,
the archdiocese will have an official
capitol. The cid cathedral, at Second

more than a parish church since
Archbishop Kahn, ten years ago,

avenue and Locust street, a site which
he afterwards abandoned. The old

agements, was the greatest thing Of
its nature that the young st. Louis
had experienced. 1t took place on the
LIST of August, 1881, and in less than
three years the church was completed
and almost paid for. Even in it's pres

time-eaten buildings of the river sec

archbishop, for whom the small
chapel at Newstead and Maryland ave

spacious lot purchased for the grand
new cathedral; but the part it played
in the early religious life of the city

derestimated
Long before even this early church
was called into being there was a
great Catholic church in st. Louis,
great because of its importance in the
community. 1t was the little struc-
ture built of upright posts which occu
pied the middle of the block between
Main and Second streets and sur,
rounded by the best of the early
French families that settled st. Louis.
Here Father Bernard de Limpoch, fol.
lowing the work of Father Valentin,
began the struggle fer the erection of
a church compatible with the wealth
and population of st. Louis. The re.
suit was the little wooden building
that was dedicated in 1776 and re-
manned standing until 1920. That
same struggle was taken up by Bishop
Rosati when the city had outgrown all
its churches, and again by his grace
Archbishop Glennon, when he realized
that st. Louis ought to be the seat
of a really magnificent cathedral
That the city will ever outgrow this
superb building that is about to come
into being it is difficult to believe. For
centuries to come it will more than
likely remain a unique and wonderful
example of ecclesiastical architecture
of which any city might well be proud
