PAGE SIXTEEN IDAHO’S GREAT MURDER TRIAL. (Continued from page 1.) idly against Mr. Roosevelt failed. A delegation of three members of the Central Federated Union of New York visited the white house to remonstrate with the president. It was cordially received, and the president showed the members a letter which he had written to the attorney-general over a year before directing him to inves tigate the charge that Moyer and Hay wood had been kidnapped, and to do everything in the power of the federal authorities to assist in securing exact justice to both sides. In this he had said: “So far as the unions are anxious only to see that exact justice is done these men, that they are given their full legal rights and not condemned unless proved guilty of this specific act, they are entitled to the cordial co-operation of all just and fair-minded citizens. So far as by any action or by murderous and treasonable lan guage, such as that quoted above from Debs (and others), they tend to bring pressure to bear upon the state au thorities and the courts to obstruct the course of justice and to render it dif ficult to convict men, if guilty, they are equally without stint to be con demned; and anything that the feder al authorities can do in either event to further the cause of justice is to be done.” He gave the committee a written assurance that this would continue to be his policy, and that if any ev idence should be submitted to him at any time showing any injustice either for or against the prisoners he would do anything in his power to redress it. The committee returned to Mew York full of satisfaction, giving Presi dent Roosevelt an emphatic certifi cate of character, and its report was % THB Z f* Meridian Life & Trust Co. > OF INDIANAPOLIS I ARTHUR JORDAN, President J OUR POLICIES ARE PREFERRED TO ALL OTHERS: WHY? 1 Za Because every one of them is protected with a deposit of securities with the State of Indiana just as the National Bank note in your po-eket is protected by a deposit with the United States Government.

MARION BUTLER’S “DISCOVER IES.” (The New York Sun.) The Hon. Marion Butler, once a Populist senator from North Carolina, seems to be a detective of unusual powers of ratiocination. He has found traces in the Tar Heel state of that 15,000,000 conspiracy the revelation of which in a moment of supposedly al coholic confidence made such a hulla baloo at Washington. Cynics have re garded the conspiracy as a legend, a myth, or a mystification, but surely such a display of official thunder and lightning would not have followed if the powers of darkness had not been really caught in the act of plotting against Jupiter Tonans. Mr. Butler, whose reticence and habit of under statement are of the genuine Populist sort, has nabbed a receiver of some part of the $5,000,000. He says that a Mr. Adams, chairman of the North Carolina Republican state committee, “confesses in effect that he belongs to the $5,000,000 conspiracy and is using money in opposition to the Roosevelt policies in South Carolina.” The con duct of some other politicians and cer tain officeholders “to his mind showed conclusively that they were in the conspiracy.” It may be said that what is con clusive to Mr. Butler’s mind is not necessarily conclusive to every other mind. We can not regard as small a man who is thus credited with a part in the most mysterious conspiracy in his tory. As for Butler, something good WATSON’S WEEKLY JEFFERSONIAN. in the secret service would be the most fitting reward of his talent as an unraveler of crime. PRESENCE OF MIND. A negro minister from Georgia, who was visiting friends in New York city, went on .Sunday to the Cathedral on Fifth Avenue. He was very much impressed with the service, especially by the choir boys in the processional and reces sional. When he returned to the south he resolved to introduce the same thing into his church; so he col lected fifteen or twenty little darkies and drilled them until he had them A Rare Chance to Secure High Grade Wagons at Remarkably Low Prices.

One Sunday the congregation were greatly surprised to see the choir boys marching in, singing the*' proces sional. The minister noticed that something was wrong; the boy in front was not carrying anything. He leaned over the pulpit and in order to avoid attracting attention, he chanted in tune to the song they were singing. “What —have you done —with the in —cense-pot?” The little darky, with great pres ence of mind, chanted bacir: “I—left it in—the aisle —it was too —dawn hot.” —Harper’s.
