Real Estate, Loan and Insurance f-' Gorvallis and Philomath, Oregon. Boise, Idaho, March 3. Great is the consternation in and around Boise tonieht. s On the heels of Steve Adams confession cornea the startling news that between 600 and 00 Dounds "of dynamite and dyna mite cans'' have been stolen irom the various powder houses located iri the tiills northeast of the city. -; --Last: night employes of the Kasf- bc ah'-Teller Hardware '"Company found, upon' gofaog'-to their powder louse, just bey'ond the Boise bar-- racks, that about 6W pounasroi dyriamlte'ahd daps had been stolen from' tHe'powaet Tiouse,. i ne news that the toowder house naa .Deen rrobbea prea nice wiia-nre ovei Che city, and the officials and men about town," who were '-discussing the confession of Steve Adams, turned their minds from 'this sub-- ject.1 ; " " ;-&".'. With " the dame ' prom pt 7 action which characterized his movements in the assassination of ex-Governor Steuhenberg,' Governor Gooding im mediately had one hundjcedor more guards sent but over the city, and especially around the penitentiary J These guards were scattered over the' town, and because almost all of the men whose flames - have been mentioned in connection' with the prosecution of the officers, of the Western Federation of Miners, had received 'threatening letters eigced "Koeebone," a name adopted by the Inner Circle to Etrike ' terror to those whom they wish to frighten, armed men were placed around the bonus of Governor Goodin; Special! Prosecutor Jame3' H.' Hawley, W. E. Borah and a number of others. The receipt of threatening letters and even the theft of the dynamite last night has Dot frightened Gov ernor Goodm and the men who are aiding Gim in the prosecution. Guards have been placed around the homes of these men, not through fear," but out of precaution. ' -, ' This morning the- -excitement about the stealing of the? dynamite was about to pasa away, when ' it became known' that all of the pow der magazines back In the hills had been bioken into. In all there are about half a dozen pawder maga. zihea situated in the hills beyond Boise, and, while the' authorities will not admit it, they have all been eutered and powder stolen. It is known that the powder- house ol the Carlson-Luek Hard' ware company and the Idaho Hard ware & Plumbing ''Company were entered. - " " ' : i - The job on the Eaetman-Teller maeazine waa ceatly done. The masonry work was torn out, and when the dynamite and giant pow der caps were removed, the break in the wall was patched up. The discovery- would not have been made. ' The theft of blasting powder is not uncommon at this time of the year. Mmers, so tne story is toil, who are without means make it a business to steal what powder they canUsually however, when dynamite has been stolen in the past, only the No, 2 kind: was: taken. - This time it iB the No. 1 that was taken. A citizen here who knows all about dynamite feels confident that had miners stolen the explosives tbey would have taken the No. 2 because all miners know that this is the less dangerous of the two Warden Whitney denies that the reason he had taken out the electric lights in the cells of. Moyer, Hay wood; PetUbone and St. John was because he feared that the prison' ers would attempt suicide. " Beyond admitting that Steve Ad ams' confession was what the offi cials stated it was, even more sweep ing than "that made by Orchard, nothing- more could be learned Adams told of crimes he bad com mitted for the Inner Circle of which Orchard knew nothing. Hehas been longer in the employ.-1. " f Now that Adams has confessed it is fully believed that still another confession will be forthcoming in a lew days, 11 not more. Just , who Clarksburg, W.

' Not only will insurance business be revolutionized, but a number of big financiers will ' find themselves deprived of support upon which they have depended for years. It is estimated in the financial district that the "Big Three" alone have holdings of $300,000,000 in stocks and bonds which come under the bah. - About $l25,ooo,oco' are in stocks and the remainder in bonds. The "B:g Three" are the Equitable Life Assurance Society, the New York Life and the Mutual Life."---'' : The stocks alluded to above, while the property of the compan ies, were practically controlled by big financiers, who had the proxies. Up to the time of the shake-up, E. HrHarriman and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. were the dictators of the Equit able stock; J. P. Morgan, "through his partner, George W.
