FOURTH OF JULY VICTIM
Rude Bomb of His Own Manufao
ture Explodes in Process of
Loading Leg and Arm
Torn From Body.
CUAT9KANIB. Or.. July 4. (Special.)
Frank L. Warding, a young man about
25 years old, living H4 miles south of this
place, was almost instantly killed at 2
o'clock this afternoon while preparing to
lire a Fourth of July salute from an im
provised bomb loaded with a smokeless
powder of his own manufacture, the
recipe for which was obtained from an
Eastern advertising faker.
He. had taken a piece of two-Inch gas
pipe 14 inches long and stopped up one
end. Filling the pipe with the explosive,
k-e was in the act of plugging the other
end, when the friction caused it to ex
plode, tearing off his right arm between
the elbow and wrist, shattering his right
leg and otherwise mangling him.
Harding leaves a father, who is a tele
graph operator on the Great Xorthern
Railroad at some station near Spokane:
a mother, two sisters and a brother, the
latter living on the farm near here, where
he met his death.
He will be burled here next Saturday
by the Modern Woodmen of the World,
of which organization he was a member.

GAS FRANCHISE IS GRANTED
Keane Company's Ordinance Passed
by Tacoma City Council.
TACOMA, Wash., July 4. (Special.)
In committee of the whole the City
Council tonight recommended that the
Keane gas franchise be granted. This
action was taken after the franchise
had been thoroughly discussed from
tlrst section to last, and several sharp
passages took place between some of
the Councilmen. Councilman Conrad
Intimated that some of the Council
men, who insisted on the franchise be
ing made as stringent as possible, were
wearing the collar of the Tacoma Gas
light Company.
As finally recommended for passage,
the franchise provides for the sale of
gas to consumers at 1 per 1000 cubic
feet, net, requires the extension of gas
main 150 feet when necessary to serve
a customer, compels the payment of a
2 per cent tax on the gross earnings,
Bnd contains restrictions that are in
tended to amply protect patrons of the
company.
POISON IN SCOTCH WHISKY
steward Drinks From Captain's
Bottle and Dies.
PORT TOWNSEND. Wash., July 4. As
a result of surreptitiously helping himself
to the master's private bottle aboard the
vessel, the steward of -the British ship
Austrasia, here lumber-laden from Bel
ltngham. Wash., destined for the West
Coast seeking a crew, lies on a slab in a
local morgue. The police are making a
vigorous search to ascertain who is re
sponsible for "doping" the bottle. As
the bottle came from Captain Hughes'
private stores, the poison was evidently
Intended for him. That something was
wrong with the liquor was discovered
yesterday, when Captain Hughes opened a
bottle of Scotch whisky to treat guests.
One of the visitors, a local drug clerk,
discovered something suspicious, and ad
vised his host against drinking the
whisky. None partook of the liquor and
the bottle was set aside.
This morning Captain Hughes left the
vessel early to spend the day with frienda
at Port Gamble. Soon after the unfor-
tunate steward took a sfy nip, which
proved his undoing. Investigation indi
cates that the whisky was partially re
moved and wool alcohol substituted.
MURDER IX IDAHO TOWN.
Sheepherder Kills Theatrical Man
ager at Hailey.
BOISE, Idaho, July 4. (Special.) A spe
cial to the Statesman from Hailey, Idaho,
says:
What has the appearance of a brutal
i murder was committed here at 2 o'clock
this morning. Herbert Boster was shot
and Instantly killed by Art McCoy. The
two men were in a private room In a
Chinese restaurant, accompanied by a
woman of the town and Bob Jones. It is
supposed that there was some trouble be
tween the two over the woman, but all
that is definitely known is that McCoy
pulled a revolver and shot Foster three
times In the breast. The indications are
that the weapon was held close to the
victim's breast. Foster was unarmed.
McCoy disappeared after the shooting,
but was located and captured in a house
of 111 fame this afternoon by Deputy
Sheriff John Riley. He was in the ceilar
of the house. McCoy is a sheepherder.
His victim was manager of A theatrical
troupe called Eckert's Ideals. Foster was
about 25 years of age and unmarried.
Where his home was is not known.
Bob Jones and the woman are under
arrest, being detained pending a Coro
ner's inquest.
About an hour before the shooting
Jones gave . McCoy an order on Wesley
Jackson, a saloonkeeper, to get the pistol
with which the killing was done. Jones
is well known here. He has long been in
the employ of Governor Gooding as fore
man of a sheep camp.
CREW CANNOT UNDERSTAND
Sailors' Union Attempts to Prevent
Sailing of the Siberia.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4. Andrew
Furuseth, secretary of the Sailors' Union,
has asked the Collector of the Port to
refuse clearance papers to the Pacific
Mail liner Siberia, due to leave here
July 7 for the Orient, on the ground that
the majority of the crew do not under
stand the language spoken by their of
ficers. The water front strikers were jubilant
today as the result of their work in cap
turing every one of the Kanakas that
came here on the liner Mongolia to man
the coasting steamers Barracouta and
Costa Rica. There are more Kanakas
coming on the liner China, due early next
week. The union men say they will take
away this second consignment just as
easily as they did the first. It is likely,
however, that the steamship people, now
better acquainted with the quality of
their adversaries, will have some better
plan of transfer than the one that failed.
The steamer Francis H. Leggett sailed
today for Eureka with a nonunion crew.
WHEAT NOT YET DAMAGED
NO COMPLAINT HEARD FROM
INLAND EMPIRE FARMERS.
Fall Grain in Spokane County Ri
pening Well Spring Sowing
3Iay Suffer.
SPOKANE, Waih., July 4. (Special.)
With the mercury hovering close to the
100 mark in the wheat fields of the Spo
kane country, there is no complaint of
damage to the growing grain. Fall wheat
is already past all danger, ripening splen
didly and promises a magnificent crop.
What will be the result to Spring wheat,
should the extreme hot weather continue,
is a matter of surmise. Some farmers
fear the berry will be cooked, but others
declare Spring wheat is far enough ad
vanced to withstand any ordinary July
weather.
If the situation were other than good,
complaints would almost certainly have
reached this city.
FIRE IN AN IDAHO TOWN.
Hailey Visited by a $5000 Independ
ence Day Blaze.
HAILEY, Idaho, July 4. (Special.)
Fire this evening at 8 o'clock destroyed
the residences of Mrs. Minnie Brown

that amount. Mrs. Brown's little
daughter was asleep In the house when
the fire broke out and had a narrow
escape, someone rushing in at the last
moment and carrying her out.
Wilbur Warehouses Burned.
ROSEBl'RG. Or.. July 4. (Special.)
Two warehouses belonging to J. M. Don
nell, at Wilbur, were burned, with all
their contents, this afternoon. The loss

Rheu mmt lc Pains Relieved.
No one need now suffer the agonizing
pains of sciatic and acute rheumatism, as
quick relief may be had by applving
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This fact has
been- clearly demonstrated in many thou
sands of cases. This liniment relieves the
pain and makes sleep and rest possible
which is alone worth many times its cost.
B. F. Crocker, Esq.. now S4 years of age
and for 20 years Justice of the Peace, at
Martlnsburg. Iowa, says: 'I am terribly
afflicted with sciatic rheumatism in my
left arm and right hip. I have used three

BURDEN OF THE WHITE MAN
Bryan Uses Verse From Kipling as
His Theme.
Mr. Bryan read from his manuscript as
follows:
The memory of the evening Bpent with
the American Society, Thanksgiving day.
24 years ago, is such a pleasant one that I
esteem myself fortunate to be able to ac
cept the Invitation so kindly extended by
our distinguished Ambassador, Hon. White
law Reid, to be your guest on this occasion.
Our Eng-lish friends, under whose nag
we meet tonight, recalling that this is the
anniversary of our Nation's birth, would
doubtless pardon us if our rejoicing con
tained something of self -congratulation, for
it is at such times as this that we are
wont to review those National achievements
which have given to the United States its
prominence among the nations. But I hope
I shall not be thought lacking in patriotic
spirit If, Instead of drawing a picture of.
the past, bright with heroic deeds and un
paralleled in progress, I summon you rather
to a serious consideration of the responsi
bility resting upon those nations which
aspire to premiership. This line of thought
is suggested by a sense of propriety, as well
as by recent experiences by a sense of pro
priety because such a subject win interest
the Briton as well as the American, and by
recent experiences because they have Im
pressed me not less with our National duty
than with the superiority of Western over
Eastern civilization.
Asking your attention to such a theme It
Is not unfitting to adopt a phrase coined by
a poet to whom America as well as England
can lay some claim, and take for my text
"The White Man's Burden":
As Kipling Hath It.
"Take up the White Man's Burden
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride.
By open speech and simple.
An hundred times made plain.
To seek another's profit.
And work another's gain."
Thus sings Kipling, and with the excep
tion of the third line (of the meaning of
which I am not quite sure), the stanza
embodies the thought which Is uppermost
In my mind tonight. No one can travel
among the dark-skinned races of the Ori
ent without feeling that the white man oc
cupies an especially favored position among
the children of men, and the recognition of
this fact Is accompanied by the conviction
that there Is a duty inseparably connected
with the advantages enjoyed. There is a
white man's burden a burden which the
white man should not shirk, even If he
could; a burden which he could not shirk
even If he would. That no one liveth unto
himself or dleth unto himself has a national
as well as an individual application. Our
destinies are so Interwoven that each ex
ertg an influence directly or Indirectly upon
all others.
Influence of Language,
Sometimes this influence is unconsciously
exerted as when, for Instance, the good or
bad precedent set by one nation in dealing
with Us own affairs is followed by some
other nation. Sometimes the influence is
Incidentally exerted as when, for example,
a nation in the extension of its commerce
introduces its language and enlarges the
horizon of the people with whom It trades.
This incidental benefit conferred by the
opening of new markets must be apparent
to any one who has watched the stimulat
ing influence of the new ideas which have
been Introduced into Asia and Africa
through the medium of the English lan
guage. This la not the mother tongue of very
many of the world's leaders in religion,
statesmanship, science and literature, but It
has received through translation the beet
that has been written and spoken in other
countries. He who learns this language,
therefore. Is like one who lives upon a
great highway, where he comes Into dally
contact with the world.
Without disparaging other modern lan
guages. It may be said with truth that,
whether one travels abroad or studies at
home, there is no other language so useful
at the present time as that which we em
ploy at this banquet board, and the nation
which is instrumental In spreading this lan
guage confers an Inestimable boon even
though the conferring of it be not Included
In Its general purpose. England has ren
dered this service to the people of India,
and the United States Is rendering the same
service to the people of the Philippines,
while boh England and the United States
have been helpful to Japan and China In
this way.
White Man's Duty Not Incidental.
But the advanced nations cannot content
themselves with the conferring of Inci
dental benefits; If they would justify their
leadership they must put forth conscious
and constant effort for the promotion of
the welfare of the nations which lag behind.
Incidental benefits may follow, even though
the real purpose of a nation, is a wholly
selfish one, for as the sale of Joseph Into
Egypt resulted In blessings to his family
and to the land of the Pharaohs, so cap
tives taken In war have sometimes spread
civilization, and blacks carried away into
slavery have been improved by contact with
the whites. But nations cannot afford to
do eyil In the hope that Providence will
transmute the evil into good and bring
blessings out of sin. Nations, if they would
be great in the better sense of the term,
must intend benefit as well as confer It;
they must plan advantage, and not leave
the results to chance.
Not Mere Food and Drink.
I take it for granted that our duty to the
so-called Inferior races is not discharged by
merely feeding them in times of famine, or
by contributing to their temporary support
when some other calamity overtakes them.
A much greater assistance is rendered them
when they are led to a more elevated plane
of thought and activity by ideals which
stimulate them to self-development. The
improvement of the people themselves
should be the paramount object In all in
tercourse with the Orient.
The Five Chief Obligations.
Among the blessings which the Christla:
nations are at this time able and in du
bound to carry to the rest of the world.
may mention five: Education, knowledge of
tne science oi government, ar Duration as a
substitute fpr war, appreciation of the dig
nity of labor, and a high conception of life.
Education comes first, and in nothing have
the United States and England been more
clearly helpful that in the advocacy of
universal education. If the designs of God
are disclosed by his handiwork, then, the
creation of the human mind is indubitable
proof that the Almighty never Intended
that learning should be monopolised by a
few. and he arrays himself against the
plans of Jehovah, who would deny Intellec
tual training to any part of the human
race. It is a false civilization, not a true
one, that countenances the permanent sep
aration of society into two distinct classes,
the one encouraged to Improve the mind,
and the other condemned to hopeless ignor
ance. Equally false is that conception of
international politics which would make the
prosperity of one nation depend upon the
exploitation of another. While no on is
far-sighted enough to estimate with ac
curacy the remote, or even the Immediate,
consequences of human action, yet as we
can rely upon the principle that each in
dividual profits rather than loses by the
progress and prosperity of his neighbors,
so we cannot doubt that it Is to the ad
vantage of each nation that every other
nation shall make the largest possible use
of its own resources and the capabilities of
its people.
How Education Helped Japan.
No one questions that Japan's influence
has been a beneficent one since she has
emerged from Illiteracy and endowed her
people with public schools open to all her
boys and girls. The transition from a posi
tion of obscurity into a world power was
scarcely more rapid than her transition from
a menace into an ally. China is entering
upon a similar experience, and I am con
fident that her era of reform will make
her. not a yellow peril, but a powerful co
laborer in the international vineyard. In
India, in the Philippines, In Egypt, and
even in Turkey, statistics show a gradual
extension of education, and I trust I will
be pardoned if I say that neither the
armies, nor the navies, nor yet the com
merce of our nations, have given us so just
a claim to the gratitude of the people of
Asia as have our school teachers, sent, many
of them, by private rather than by public
funds.
English a Government Tongue.
The English language has become the
vehicle for the conveyance of governmental
truth, even more than for the spread of
general Information, for beginning with
Magna Charta and continuing through the
era of the American Revolution and the
Declaration of Independence down to the
present, no language has been so much em
ployed for the propagation of that theory
of government whtch traces ' governmental
authority to the consent of the governed.
Our own Nation presents the most Illus
trious example known to history of a great
population working out Its destiny through
laws of its own making, and under officials
of its own choosing, although, I may add.
we scarcely go beyond England in recog
nizing the omnipotence of a parliament
fresh from the people. It is difficult to
overestimate the potency of this conception
of government upon the progress of a na
tion, and, In turning the thought of the
world away from despotism to the possibil
ities of self-government, the pioneers of
freedom made Western civilization possible.
An idea will sometimes revolutionize an In
dividual, a community, a state, a nation, or
even a world, and the idea that man pos
sesses . inalienable rights which the state
did not give, and which the state, though it
can deny, cannot take away, has made mil
lions of human beings stand erect and claim
their God-given inheritance. While the era
of constitutional liberty is ever widening,
while the tyranny and insolence of ar
bitrary power are every year decreasing, the
leaders of the world's thought, not only the
English-speaking nations, but the other
Christian nations as well, have yet much to
do In teaching reverence for the will of the
majority and respect for the public ser
vants upon whom the people bestow author
ity. White Man's Real Burden.
The Christian nations must lead the
movement for the promotion ot peace, not
only" because they are enlisted under the
banner of the Prince of Peace, but also be
cause they have attained such a degree of
Intelligence that they can no longer take
pride in a purely physical victory. The be
lief that moral questions can be settled by
the shedding of human blood Is a relic of
barbarism; to doubt the dynamic power of
righteousness is infidelity to truth itself.
That nation which is unwilling to trust Its
cause to the universal conscience, or which
shrinks from the presentation of its claims
before a tribunal where reason holds sway,
betrays a lack of faith in the soundness of
its position.
Our countrv has reason to congratulate
Itself upon the success of President Roose
velt in hastening peace between Russia and
Japan. Through him our Nation won a
moral victory more glorious than a victory
in war. King Edward has also shown him
self a promoter of arbitration and a large
number of members of Parliament are en
listed in the same work. It means much
that the two great English-speaking na
tions are thus arrayed on the side of peace.
I venture to suggest that the world's
peace would be greatly promoted by
an agreement among the leading nations
that no declaration of war should be made
until the submission of the question in con
troversy to an impartial court for Investi
gation, each nation reserving the right to
accept or reject the decision. The prelim
inary investigation would In almost every
instance Insure an amicable settlement, and
the reserved rights would be a sufficient
protection against any possible injustice.
Honor to the Toller.
Let me go a step further and appeal for
a clearer recognition of the dignity of
labor. The odium which rests upon the
work of the hand has exerted a baneful in
fluence the world around. The theory that
idleness Is more honorable than toll that
it Is more respectable to consume what
others have produced than to be a producer
of wealth has not only robbed society of
an enormous sum, but it has created an al
most impassable gulf between the leisure
classes and those who support them. Tol
stoi Is right In asserting that-most of the
perplexing problems of society grow out of
the lack of sympathy between man and
man. Because some " imisg-ifie themselves
above work, while others see before them
nothing but a life of drudgery, there is
constant warring and much of bitterness.
When men and. women-become ashamed of
doing nothing and strive to give to society
full compensation for all they receive from
society, there will be harmony between the
classes.
Higher Ideals Are Evident.
While Europe and America have ad
vanced far beyond the Orient In placing a
proper estimate upon those who work, even
our nations have not yet fully learned the
lesson that employment at some useful
avocation Is essential to the physical
health, intellectual development and moral
growth. If America and England are to
meet the requirements of their high posi
tions, they must be prepared to present In
the lives of their citizens examples, in
creasing in number, of men and women who
find delight in contributing to the welfare
of their fellows, and this ought not to be
difficult, for every department of human
activity has a fascination of Its own. The
agricultural colleges and industrial schools
which have sprung up in so many localities
are evidence that a higher ideal is spread
ing among the people.
Great Need of the Orient.
And now we come to the most important
need of the Orient a conception of life
which recognizes Individual responsiblllty
to God, teaches the brotherhood of man and
measures greatness by the service rendered.
The first established a rational relation be
tween the creature and his Creator, the sec
ond lays the foundation for justice between
man and his fellows, and the third fur
nishes an ambition large enough to fill each
life with noble effort. No service which we
can render to the less favored nations can
compare in value to this -service, for if we
can but bring their people to accept such
an Ideal, they will rival the Occident in
their contribution to civilization. If this
idealwhich must be accepted as the true
one. If our religion is true had been more
perfectly Illustrated In the lives of Chris
tians and In the conduct of Christian na
tions there would now be less of the "White
Man's Burden."
Adulteration of Philanthropy.
If it Is legitimate to "seek another's prof
it" and "to work another's gain," how can
this service best be rendered? This has
been the disputed point. Individuals and
nations have differed less about the pur
pose to be accomplished than about the
methods to be employed. Persecutions have
been carried on avowedly for the benefit of
the persecuted, wars have been waged for
the alleged improvement of those attacked,
and still more frequently philanthropy has
been adulterated with selfish Interest. If
the superior" nations have a mission, it Is
not to wound, but to heal not to cast
down, but to lift up. and the means must
be example a far more powerful and en
durlne means than violence. Example may
be likened to the sun, whose genial rays
pftrisntK' port: the burled seed into life
and clothe the eartn, nrsi wun veruure mm
hfterward with ripen t-a grain, wnue vio
lence is the occasional tempest which can
ruin but cannot give life.
Progress of a Century-
Can we doubt the efficacy of example in
the light of history? There has been great
increase in education during the last century
and the schoolhouses have not been opened
by the bayonet ; they owe their existence
largely to the moral influence which neigh
boring nations exert upon each other. And
the spread of popular government during
the same period, how rapid ! Constitution
after constitution has been adopted, and
limitation after limitation has been placed
upon arbitrary power, until Russia, yield
ing to public opinion, establishes a legisla
tive body, and China sends commissions
abroad with a view to inviting the people
to share the responsibilities of government.
This the Day of Altruism.
While in America and in Europe there Is
much to be corrected and abundant room
for Improvement, there has never been so
much altruism in the world as there is to
day never so many who acknowledge the
indissoluble tie that binds each to every
other member of the race. I have felt more
pride in my own countrymen than ever be
fore as I have visited the circuit of schools,
hospitals and churches which American
money has built around the world. The ex
ample. of the Christian nations, though but
feebly reflecting the light of the Master, Is
gradually reforming society.
Society has passed through a period of ag
grandizement, the nations taking what they
had the strength to take and holding what
they had the power to bold. But we already
are entering a second era an era In which the
nations do not merely do what they can do,
but what they ahould do, considering jus
tice to be more Important than physlclal
prowess.
In tribunals like that of The Hague, the
chosen representatives of the nation weigh
questions of right and wrong and give a
small nation an equal hearing with a great
decree according to conscience. This marks
ah Immeasurable advance. But Is another
sten yet to be taken?
Justice, after all. im cold and pulseless, a
negative virtue- The world needs om thing
warmer, more generous. Harmlessness Is bet
ter" than harmfulness. But positive helpful
ness Is vastly superior to harmlesBnesa, and
we still have before us a larger, higher des
tiny of service.
Third Era Is Coming.
Even now there are signs of the approach
of this third era, not so much in the actions
of governments as in the growing tendency
of men and wpmen In many lands to con
tribute their means, in some cases their
lives, for the Intellectual, moral awakening
of those who sat in darkness. Nowhere are
these signs more abundant than in our be
loved land. Before the sun sets on one oi
these centers of civilization it arises upon
another.
On the walls of the temple of Karnak an
ancient artist carved the likeness of an
Egyptian king, represented as holding a
group of captives by the hair and In the
other hand Is raised a club with which to
strike the captives. What king would be
willing to confess himself as cruel today? In
some of the capitals of Europe are monu
ments built and ornamented with cannon
taken in war. This form of boasting, once
popular. Is still tolerated, though time must
give way to some emblem of victory less
suggestive of slaughter.
Lesson From Statuary.
As we are gathered tonight in England's
capital, permit me to conclude with a senti
ment suggested by a piece of statuary at
Windsor Castle. It represents Queen Victoria
beside her consort. One of his arms Is about
her and the other points upward. The sculp
tor told In marble an eloquent story of
strength coupled with tenderness, love re
warded by trust, sorrow brightened by hope.
He told the story so plainly that it was
hardly necessary to chisel the words "Allured
to Brighter Worlds and Led the Way."
It was a beautiful conception, more beau
tiful than that which gave the world the
"Greek Slave," the "Dying Gladiator" or the
"Goddess Athene." It embodied the idea
which, with the expanding feeling of com
radeship, makes applicable the association of
nations as well as the relations of husband
and wife. Let us indulge in the hope that
our Nation may so measure up to its great
opportunities and so bear its share in the
white man's burden as to earn the right to
symbolize its progress by a similar figure.
If It has been allured by Providence to a
higher ground, may It lead the way In win
ning the confidence of those who follow It
and in xhibiting the spirit of him who said,
"If I am lifted up, I will draw all men
unto me."

S. S. S. PURELY VEGETABLE
The forests and fields are abundantly supplied with vegetation of vari
ous kinds, not alone to beautify the land, but to furnish the ingredients for
making a remedy for every ill and ailment of mankind. Medicines made
from the roots herbs and barks, which nature has placed at the disposal of
man, act better in every way than do strong mineral mixtures and concoc
tions the products of the chemist's shop. Mineral medicines work danger
ously on the delicate parts of the system, especially the stomach and bowels,
by eating out the lining membrane, producing chronic dyspepsia and often
entirely ruining the health. S. S. S. enjoys the distinction of being the
only purely vegetable remedy on the market. It is made entirely of gentle
acting, healing, purifying roots, herbs and barks, possessing properties that
build up and invigorate all parts of the system, in addition to removing all
impurities and poisons from the blood. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Scrdfula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood Poison and all
disorders of the blood by cleansing the circulation of the cause, and it cures
safely as well as permanently. It is as safe for children and old people as
for those in the prime of life, and is the one blood medicine that may be used
without fear of bad after-effects. Book on the blood sent free to all who
