Hoboes Attend Barbecue.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Virtually every
Chicago hobo who could get there was
numbered among the 5000 eaters at
the first big political barbecue of the
season at Gary, Ind. The committee
in charge of the barbecue had not
counted on the unexpected guests from
Chicago, but news Of good eating
travels fast in hobo land, and early
Friday night reserv ations were made
in empty box cars bound from Chi
cago to the steel town. Randout Red,
Denver Pete, Lingering Bill, Panhan.
die Pete, and scores OF other citizens
too weary to work arrived at dawn to
partake Of the feast.
The hoboes and doaters ate all day
and stayed to see the wrestling and
boxing matches at night. They re-
NAMED in Gary to resume feastine
today. Two carloads OF meat, includ'
ing three uncut carcasses Of beef, were
shipped from Chicago to the barbecue.
The supplies included $1,000 loaves o1
bread, 1000 buns, a barrel of pickles,
eight hogs, and two sheep, to say
nothing of other supplies.

Accused Kentuckians Pardoned.

FRANKFORT, KY, June l3.--By an.
nouncing the pardon OF Caleb Powers
and James Howard, Governor Wilson
closed the last chapter in one OF the
most noted criminal cases in the his.
tory of this state, in which people all
over the United States have formally
expressed their interest by signing
petitions for pardon.
In the closing days OF January,
eight years ago, while the contest OF
William Goebel for the gubernatortal
seat occupied by Governor Taylor was
being held, Goebel was shot, dying
later from his wounds. The shot was
believed to have come from half
open window of the secretary of state 8
Office and as Caleb Powers was then
filling that position suspicion was at
once directed toward himiand his ar
rest followed. Four times has Powers
been on trial for his life on the charge
OF completely in the murder, the first
trial resulting in conviction and sen.
tence of death being .Ithel penalty In

A Big Mail Robbery.

Los ANGELES, June 10.-Reluctaut
admissions made by the postotiice
officials Of three cities today confirm
to some extent the belief that the dis
appearance of registered nail pouch
somewhere within the jurisdiction of
the Kansas City, Mo-, postofice, last
Saturday night would prove one Of
the biggest hauls in the history of the
postoffice department. From private
sources 1t was learned late today that
package of at least 5000 in cur.
rency was among the contents of the
pouch, which carried in addition an
unusually large number of letters and
packages containing money and other
valuables, to an amount which can
only be conjectured, but which may
reach $4,000 more. The pouch was
in transit from this city to New York,
and the postal inspectors who have
had the case in charge for at least ls
hours refuse any explanation of the
manner il which it became lost to
sight in transfer.

Names Forest Commission.

HELENA, June 15.-Former Sen ator
Paris Gibson, Former Governor r.
B. Smith and Judge Lew L. Galloway
have been appointed state forestry
commission BY Governor Norris, to
''outline and recommend to the next
legislative assembly for its considera-
tion, ways and means for the protec--
ton of the forests Of the state.''
The governor suggests that the
members of the commission meet in
Helena July and that they consider
the prevention of forest fires, regulate
the cutting Of timber on important
watersheds and take steps to prevent
the destruction OF trees of future value.
In appointing the commission he says
that the future development OF Mon
tana depends upon the utilization OF
the streams and the products of the
soil, and for that reason it Is of i'm.
portance that the greatest possible
area OF watersheds be covered with
timber.

LOWER MISSOURI FLOODS.
Kansas City and Other Localities Will
Suffer Heavy Damage.

KANSAS CITY, June 10.-All calcu-
lations Of the weather bureau and
river experts as to the duration and
the extent of the food at the junction
of the Kaw and Missouri rivers were
upset today by the continued rise of
the Missouri river, due to heavy rains
in Dakota and Nebraska. The flood
today was highly spectacular. On the
Clay county bank of the Missouri the
little village of Harlem was entirely
surrounded by water, and the river
was flowing q mile wide behind the
village and corn fields.
The Kaw has overaowed most of the
railroad yards, the stocky ards and
the residence and manufacturing dis.
tricts of Armourdale. Ten feet Of
water is running through Kansas
avenue, the main street of Armour.
dale. The food is the highest since
that of 1908, but the water is more
than seven feet lower than in that
year. The land that is yet to be over
flowed has been abandoned by its oc.
cupants and further loss from this
source is not expected.
ST. JOSEPH, June l0.-The Missouri
river continues to rise here and is
now four inches above the danger line.
This is higher mark than during
last years flood when great damage
was done in this locality.
LEAvENwORTH, Kan, June TO-
The Missouri river here has risen
rapidly today. Heavy damage has
been done to farms. Much inconven.
ience was caused in Leavenworth by
the breaking of the leading gas main,
as q result OF the food.

that information ia refused by re.
sponsible persons in regard to the
accuracy of the published statements
that General Luke E. Wright of Ten
nessee, has been selected to succeed
Secretary Taft upon the retirement OF
the latter from the war department
goes far toward confirming the belief
that there is some found alton for the

with the president, when it Is pre-.

Big Packing House Destroyed.

KANSAS CITY, June 12.-Fire that
started before. daylight in the q 1885,
900 packing house plant of Nelson
Morris 4 Co., in Kansas City, Kas.,
had BY o'clock progressed 40 far
that it was feared the entire structure
would be destroyed. AT that hour
dynamite was being used to stop the
flames. Two laborers were killed and
another was perhaps fatally injured.
The plant Is in the flood district and
is entirely surrounded by water. The
fire was started by an explosion in the
chemical department and the flames
spread rapidly. Because of the flood
firemen were unable to reach nearer
than two blocks of the building with
their apparatus, and aid was asked
from the Missouri side, but the en-.
gines from there could not get across
the flood district.

MAKING new STATES.
Projects That May Materialize A,
Some Future Time.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-With OK.
lahoma now quite at home in the fam.
lily Of states and New Mexico and
Arizona knocking for admission, It
would appear that the limit Of the
number Of commonwealth in the I'm.
ion would soon be reached. Already,
however, there is much discussion
among politicians Of making new
states out Of old ones, and some Of
these proiects are being taken seri-
ously. For years, at occasional in.
tervals, it has been proposed that the
unwieldy bulk Of Texas should be
divided into at least two. and posi-.
bly, four states. This proposition has
never met with the faver OF the repub-
lican leaders in congress. owing to
political reasons, and It is more than
likely that the Lone Star state will
maintain it's integrity for many years
to come.
Less opposition has been provoked
by the proposal to form q new state
Of what is known as the "inland EN-.
pire," comprising portions of the state
of Washington, Idaho and Oregon,
with Spokane as the capital. It has
been suggested that the new common
wealth thus organized be christened
Lincoln, thus bringing sentiment as
we'll as commercial reasons to the
support of the senate. 1t is urged that
the interests of the Finland empire
are directly opposed to the balance OF
the states of which 1t forms q part and
that the forma alton Of the new state
would be of direct Advantage to ell
concerned.
Another project which has come &c
the front in the last few weeks is the
forming Of new state of the northern
parts of Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin, with Duluth as the proba-
BILE capital. This section forms the
mineral district of the three states
bordering on the lakes, with interests
entirely different from the agricultural
sections.
In order to bring about the forma
tion of such new states. there would
have to be favorable action by tht
legislatures Of all the states affected
and by the congress OF the United
States. 1t would be a slow and diff
cult process, and it is unlikely tina
the mum ber of states will be increa ase'
by this method for many years :,

May Assess Enormous Fines.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Penalties
may be imposed upon the Standard
Oil company that will make the twenty
nine million dollar fine of recent mem.
ory appear paltry when plans under
way by the department OF justice are
carried out. Preparations are being
made in Chicago by District Attorney
Sims, acting under directions from
Attorney General Ronaparte, for the
beginning OF q new prosecution that
may cost the big corporation s6s, ,000.-
900 if the maximum fine Is imposed.
1t is understood that the preliminary
work of arranging evidence is almost
completed.
The last fine was imposed for /, ,462
cases of rebating. The new case will
involve over 3,400 counts. OF these
1000 are accredited to shipments Of
tank cars on the Chicago, Burlington
g. Quincy, the remainder having
passed over the Chicago .& Eastern
Illinois. part of the Rock Island
system.
The department of justicesdeclines
to divulge the name of the judge be-
fore whom it will bring the case. 1t
is generally believed, however, that
Judge Lands will be chosen, partly
because of his disposition to punish
severely, but largely because of the
intimate knowledge of the subject
gained at the previous trial.
IT he should be disposed to be len.

Beef Supply is Short.

NEW YORK, June H.-Beef packers
throughout the United States, and es-
pecially in this section OF the country,
are becoming alarmed over the great
shortage in the beef supply. Since
last week the price OF beef has risen
from to 2 cents, and the price is now
around one.third greater than it was
the first part of June, 1907.
The sharp raise in prices is said to
be due entirely to the shortage in the
supply of cattle in the market and al
ready there is talk of having to have
beef which was exported to England
last winter, shipped back to this coun'
try 10 cold storage.

A NoiseIess Cannon.

PARIS, June lO.-Alfred Pouteaux
of Dijon has invented a new cannon
which, although it is noiseless, seems
destined to make some noise in the
world. If half he claims for it Is true,
his invention will completely change
the art of war. The new cannon con-
sists essentially of tube open at
both ends. In spite Of its harmless
look, it can throw projectiles of the
ordinary weight and size, to q far
greater distance than any cannon
known, and do it silently, without
smoke or flame. The energy used is
electricity.
Artillery of this sort would be
cheap, dem snding only riaed tube
open at both ends: but it's chief ad.
vantage is that it would remove the
necessity Of having on hand in forts,
arsenals and warships the present
enormous stock Of capricious and
deadly explosives.
OF course, Monsieur Pouteaux is
silent upon the most interesting point
how the electric energy Is used and
applied. BE will only say that at q
given moment the electric energy ia
transformed into a propulsive force,
and that this Is done instantaneously.

FIGHTING THE FLOOD.
Desperate Efforts Were Made Ia
Protect Great Falls Smelter.

Advices received from Great Falls
state that further dam age to the Bos.
ton and Montana smelter was caused
Tuesday, and 1t is believed the plant
will be put Of business for at least
two months-and possibly q much
greater length Of time. Hundreds of
men were employed in making . TEN.
porary dam to protect the buildings.
and some Of the property wss saved
in this manner. In describing the
situation Wednesday morning, the
Great Falls Tribune says:
In spite Of desperate efforts on the
part Of the smelter engineers to turn
the torrent Of water that has been
threatening several OF the buildings
OF the lower workings at the Boston
& Montana smelter since the break in
the north wall Of the head race Sun.
day, the water has been steadily eat
ing into the bank beneath the tracks
north and east of the power house,
and the boiler house Of the steam
plant. the slime plant and several
small buildings are doomed.
Yesterday morning fresh attempts
to dynamite the south wall of the head
race proved successful, and two large
gaps we're made in the wall which
permitted q large percentage of the
water to pour back into the river, thus
greatly lessening the stream that was
rushing through the power house and
cutting into the bank away from the
river.
The buildings north of the track on
the lower level of the smelter are, for
the most part, built on solid rock, SO
that the water, even II it reaches them.
will only wash along their edges. I,
is believed, however, that the stream
that is eating away the 'made'
ground can now be checked at the
point it has reached, SO that the
greatest damage from it has now been
done.
