leaders of a great union for conspir
acy In the murder of Steunenberg,
which the socialists claim was the
work of a lone crank who had a per
gonal grievance and who did not rep
resent the federation officials.
So the trial of the federation offi
cials has become a national affair. The
socialist iarty Is making It an Issue.
It Is to be a supreme contest between
the socialists who have espoused the
cause of the accused miners, and the
state of Idaho, which the socialists
declare Is using Its state machinery
and Its immense fund for the prosecu
tion, to crush unionism through the
conviction of the federation officials.
The socialists have raised, through
popular subscriptions, the sum of
$750,000 for the defense of the ac
cused men and have employed the best
legal talent available. On the other
hand, Idaho has liberally appropriated
public funds for the prosecution and
Is determined to make a supreme ef-
I fort to find the assassin of her ex
governor whom she claims did his
duty fearlessly and gave his life as the
penalty.
Idaho will get more publicity
through this trial than any other
western state ever enjoyed. Leading
press reporters are now on the ground
and special writers are being put In
commission to handle the immense
amount of news sent out from Boise
during the trials.

THE FAR-OFF CALL.
THE IDAHO MURDER TRIALS.
trial of Moyer, Haywood and Pettl
bone for conspiracy to murder ex
Qovernor Frank Steunenberg of Ida
ho, Is far more Important and far
reaching than the trial and execution
of either Gulteau or Czolgosz, the as
sassins of Garfield and McKInley.
The assassination of the two presi
dents of the United States was, In both
Instances, the work of an Insane
crank who had no plot, plan, friends
nor backing and while the acts were
abhorred and stirred the nation deep
ly, yet there was no Intense feeling
In political circles, as there Is today
In the trial of the officials of the
Western Federation of Miners who are
held for the murder of Steunenberg.
The cruel and dastardly murder of
Governor Steunenberg was a premed
itated and long-nursed crime and was
committed becaus'e six or seven years
before, Steunenberg had been forced
to use harsh measures to suppress a
rebellion of miners In Idaho.
It Is charged that a conspiracy orig
inated with the miners to have revenge
upon Steunenberg, who was regarded
WORLD HERO NOT WARRIOR,
Figures almost go to preve that
world heroes are not men who won
their glory on the battlefield, but on
the country the men who have
done some deed that has benefited
other men.
A little while ago a Paris newspa
per had a voting contest of the French
people to decide who was the greatest
Frenchman of the last century. More
than 15,000.000 votes were polled and
Pasteur was the winner.
Still more .recently a professor In
the Imperial university at Toklo of
fered to give to a public school the
portrait of any man whom the schol
ars should vote the world hero they
most admired.
Upwards of 500 boys and girls took
part In the contest, and George Wash
ington received a great many more
votes than anybody else. Lincoln was
second, Admiral Togo third and Ben
jamin Franklin fourth.
An English college professor said not
long ago that President Roosevelt Is
the greatest living man. These vari
ous opinions are decidedly Interesting.
It is significant, aays the Philadel
phia Press, "when the Frenchmen of
today place a scientist and life giver
like Pasteur In a higher plane than an
empire builder nnd n peace destroyer
like Xapoleon. Is there anybody who
will take exception to the choice of
those Japanese school children In se
lecting Washington or Lincoln as their
favorite hero Instead of a purely war
like figure, even though it be their
own Immortal Togo?"

If out beyond the city's farthest edge
There wero no roads that led
through sleepy towns,
.No winds to blow through any
thorny hedge,
No pathways over hazel-tufted
downs,
I might not, when the day begins, be
sad
Because I toil among the money
man.
II.
If out beyond the distant hills there
lay
No valley graced by any winding
stream,
And If no slim, white steeples far
far away ,
Might mark the spots where
drowsy hnmlets dream,
I could, perhaps at mid-day be con
tent
Where striving millions at their
tasks are bent.
III.
If far away from noise and strife and
care
There were no buds to swell on
watting trees.
No mating birds to spill upon the air
' The liquid sweetness of their mel
odies.
I might at sunset, be serene and
proud
Because' a few had seen me In the
crowd.

HEALTH OF WOMEN
In this nineteenth century to keep
up with the march of progress every
power of woman is strained to its
utmost, and the tax upon her physi
cal system is far greater than ever.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers few drugs were
used In medicines. They relied upon
roots and herbs to cure weaknesses
and disease, and their knowledge of
roots and herbs was far greater
than that of women today.
It was in this study of roots and
herbs that Lydia E. Pinkham, of
Lynn, Mass., discovered and gave
to the women of the world a remedy
more potent and efficacious than
any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pi nkham's Vegetable Compound
is an honest, tried and true remedy of unquestionable therapeutic value.
This medicine made from native roots and herbs contains no narcotics
or other harmful drugs and today holds the record for the largest number
of actual cures of female diseases of any medicine the world has ever
known, and thousands of voluntary testimonials are on file in the
laboratory at Lynn, Ma&s., which testify to its wonderful value.
Mrs. C. E. Fink, of Carnegie, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I
wish every suffering woman would take Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable
Compound and write to you for advice. It has done me a world of good
and what it has accomplished for me I know It will do for others.'
When women are troubled with Irregularities, Displacements, Ulcer
ation. Inflammation, Backache, Nervous Prostration, they should re
member there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Plnkham's Vege
table Compound.
Mr5. Plnkham's Standing Invitation to Women
Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to
write Mrs. Pinkliara, at Lynn, Mass. Out of her vast volume of ex
perience she probably has the very knowledge that will help your case.

SOME RARE BOOKS.
Of all the rare and costly books In
the world, perhaps the most expen
sive are certain copies of religious
books. A copy of the Koran, now In
possession of the Shah of Persia, Is
said to be worth $1,250,000. Its parch
ment sheets are bound In a solid gold
cover an eighth of an Inch In thick
ness, with a silver lining equully
thick. The gold cover Is decorated
with precious stones In the form of
a crescent. One hundred and nine
diamonds, 167 pearls, and 122 ru
bles make up the brilliant decoration.
By the side of this book may be
placed a copy of the Bible, as one of
the costliest books In the world. At
the present time tt has no price, for
money would not buy It. It Is a He-
MAKIXG .MONEY BY THE CLOCK.
It has been figured out by the statis
ticians that Mr. Rockefeller grows
1.90 richer every time the 'clock
ticks. Some men who care for money
might be tempted to oil the clock nnd
make it tick faster, but Mr. Rockefel
ler Isn't that kind of a man.
Rumor hath it, too, that he can buy
his oil at wholesale rates, but that
doesn't tempt him. At his age his
wants are simple and he knows that at
$1.90 a tick he can get everything he
wants without having to buy anything
on tick.
Suppose he did happen to see some
thing that he wanted and found him
self about MO short. All he would
have to do would be to fool around
five or six minutes pretending to In
vestigate Its merits and at the end of
that time he would have made enough
so that he could safely tell the clerk to
wrap It up.
However, It may have been In his
younger days, Mr. Rockefeller does
not now find It unprofitable to 'watch
the clock.
PUZZLES FOR POSTAL CLERKS.
Cleaverness Is one of the attributes
necessary for every man who Is em
ployed In the postofflce sorting mall,
for he meets with all kinds of freaks
In the shape of letters peculiarly
addressed. Some Jokers appear to
think that all a postal clerk has to
do Is to 'solve puzzles.
Recently at the Boston office a let
ter was received addressed "Wood,
Mass.," with a line drawn under the
"Wood" and over the "Mass." The
letter went out the same day It was
received ond renrhed Mark Under
wood, Andover, Mass., for whom It
was Intended, and the postal clerk
who solved the riddle did not think
he had done anything brilliant. It
was all In his day's work. Chicago

SCROFULA
A FAMILY
BLOOD TAINT
Scrofula is not a disease that is acquired, under ordinary circumstances.
It is a deep-seated family blood taint, handed down from generation to gen
;ration, blighting the lives and sapping the vital forces of innocent persons
who have inherited this legacy of disease. Parents who are blood relations
Dr who have a consumptive tendency, or blood disease of any character, are
sure to transmit it to their offspring, and it usually takes the form of Scrofula.
Swollen elands, brittle bones, weak eves, sores and eruptions on the body,
Catarrh, and often deformities with hip disease, are the principal way in
which the trouble is manifested. In some cases the blood is so filled with
scrofulous germs and poisons that from birth the sufferer is an object of pity
because of suffering and a total lack of health, while in other instances
favorable surroundings and prudent living hold the disease in check until
later in life. A. deep-seated blood disease like Scrofula can only be reached
by the very best constitutional treatment. A remedy is required that can
renovate the entire blood supplyand drive out the scrofulous and tuberculous
deposits. H. S. H. is the greatest ol all
blood purifiers ; it goes to the very bottom
of all blood disorders and removes every
taint and poison from the circulation,
makes rich, healthy blood and cures Scrof
ula permanently. S. S. S. supplies the
PURELY VEGETABLE eak. diseased blood with the rich, health.
sustaining properties it is in need of, and
makes this life stream fit to supply every part of the system with strength
and vitality. Scrofula yields to S. S. S. because it is a natural blood puri
fier. Write for book on the blood and any medical advice desired. Ne
