Wilkin son, a well known rancher, on his farm on the south, fork of the Newau kum river, sixteen miles southeast of Chehalls, has created a startling sen sation at this place Apparently the rancher was murdered In his lonely cabin about a month ago. Mat Bal four, a neighbor, and C II. Roe. ' Toledo, were passing Wilkinson's bln and stopped to look in. As they Bred the house a " sickening smell Pted' them. On Investigation, they eould see Wilkinson's body lying on the floor. Word was at once brought t0 Chehalls. and Coroner Mver, of M'lnlock, notified. t The body lay on the floor near the fwr or the cabin. The- head was rest- on a. saddle. Both arms were "ed as if placed In that position by murderer. By Wilkinson's side hls 2S-callber rifle, which had p shoved up under the left arm V It contained an empty she'll.

The body was paniauy aressea, me man having t on his; trousers and, shirts. It Is thought the "murderer went to the cabin In the evening about the time Wilkinson. Kwasj preparing to retire. . or else awakened him. and that he partially dressed . himself before admitting tae assailant. -A small sum of money was found and the man's watch was un disturbed, showing the motive must have been revenge.

A MATTER OF SPECULATION : i , - : - . , Premier Balfour Issues Very Significant Pamphlet PRELIMINARY, T0 SPEECH Which He Intends to Make at Sheffield on October , : First CONTAINS NOTHING AS TO CHAMBERLAIN'S POLICY OR " THREATENED BREAKING UP OF EMPIRE AND IGNORES TARIFF AND COLONY ISSUES. ' LONDON. Sept. 15. Premier Balfour issued tonight the advance sheets of pamphlets " on the subject "Insular Free Trade,". In which he presents at length the arguments In favor of a change in Great Britain's fiscal policy. In introducing the pamphlet Balfour says bis purpose In Issuing It Is that it would be impossible to put all the Important points of this question within the limits . of a single speech and therefore the pamphlet may be a fitting preliminary to the speech which he will shortly make. ? This undoubt edly refers to the speech Balfour will make at Sheffield on October X. ' The publication of the pamphlet im mediately after the momentous cabi net council ' indicates it embodies a statement of the 'policy accepted ' or rather acquiesced in by the' majority of the cabinet. If this assumption Is correct then It means the abandonment oX the idea of preferential tariffs with the colonies and the taxation of food in favor of a system of retaliatory duties. What will be Secretary Cham berlain's attitude is the burning ques tion, of the moment. The most striking feature of Bal four's pamphlet la that from beginning to end it does not jyfer to Chamber lain's proposals. There is not a word about the threatened breaking up of the Empire or preferential tariffs, and the colonies are scarcely mentioned. Chamberlain is faced with the alterna tive of either abandoning the prefer ential tariffs or; prosecuting his cam paign unsupported by Balfour. Neither does Balfour admit Great Britain's trade is on .the verge of ; ruin. He says: ' f i We are not only rich and prosper ous in appearance, but also, I believe, in, reality. I can find no .evidence that we are living on our capital.. The Duke of Devonshire had a con ference with Balfour at the batter's residence this evening. s It is believed that within a day or two the resigna tion of Chancellor of th? Exchequer Ritchie, and perhaps the Duke of Devonshire I will be announced. The Standard, th4 conservative organ, con tends that there Is no occasion what ever under the existing undertaking fo rany member of the cabinet to with draw. According to the Dally Mail Cham berlain agreee, "under the stress of necessity, not to press his program. The paper says he probably will not admit that : his schemes are abandon ed, bue nevertheless they can safely be regarded as dead for a time at least. . ' . w WOMAN WITH A RECORD VIOLA M'FALL KNOWN ALL OVER WEST, IN SEATTLE CITY JAIL. SEATTLE, Wn, Sept. 15. Viola Mc Fall, known in the police circles in every city of the! West and the Pacific Coat, is behind the bars of the Seattle city Jail. ': r Just after" the big fire in Seattle, in 1889, in. the days of the notorious Whitechapel district, Viola McFall Millie Moran and: other - welt known female crooks., got rich by running their hands in the pockets of unsus pecting men who went about the re sorts of the tenderloin. Viola McFall was finally driven from town, but ft was a hard job. On no less than 20 separate charges this woman wai brought up and then turned loose. In .variably thd victim failed to appeal for prosecution. , The police v claimed that the McFall woman was released because her husband. Mike Torphy, always succeeded In "fixing" the wit nesses. ; " - But at last Viola McFall made her mistake. She attempted to bribe Po liceman Hubbard. "The officer toos bar into court; - she got a long ; sen tence, and was afterward driven from the city. Not ; until a few days ago did she venture back here. She was Immediately picked up by the police, who say they j will again drive her from the city, j The notorious woman Is in mourning.- She says her husband, Mike Torphy. died a few weeks ago in San Francisco. . ! . .

VANCOUVER, B. C, Sept. 15. In spired by unlooked-for luck at Poplar Creek. "Orange Hamilton." one of the owners of the Lucky Jack Bonanza, has been on a three weeks Jag In the Rev elstoke district. It -ended by friends having him put In Jail to save him from himself. ; : ' ' Shortly after Hamilton bonded th Lucky Jack for a large sum to W. R. Pool h- started for Revetatoke, with the Intenton ;to'nifike" the" feathers fly. He got off at the sailing place on9 Ar row Lakes, where there is a saloon. It didn't take him long to get' the whole village drunk.. Soon the bartender carted the. place and Hamilton dealt out the boose himself. Each round he would indiscriminately bit t the ; cash register until the machine showed sev eral hundred dollars running up. Ev erybody was so drunk- that nobody knew exactly , how much Hamilton owed. He paid what the till claimed. At Revelstoke he continued to paint the town until friends came to his rescue and he sobered up In the skook urn house. , : . j , ; There Is big litigation over the own ership of Lucky Jack. . : SUBSTITUTE FOR SWEARING. The man who finds it necessary to relieve an .overburdened soul through exclamatory utterance might just .as well adopt a pi peasant, as an unpleas ant verbiage. The relief is obtained through explosive speech. I and this need be neither .vulgar or pprofane; it need have-no-reference to present -material condittoreTir future spiritual state; the one - essential is that it be explosive.' - Why not, then, use ; the name of fiowenr and other beautiful objects instead of - words and phrases offensive alike to decorum and to good taste ? .. Why , not deal with ana logies which are artistic in the Impli cations? The man so unfortunate as to "hit his thumb-, with t a hammer might," for example, exclaim: "Roses and violets!" Doubtless such utter ance would quickly alleviate the pain and vexation, and the spiritual uplift would be immense.. While nursing the Injured member a reference to "accen tuated rythms" would fitly express the peculiar throbbing which once to have felt is ever to remember, says the Phil adelphia Ledger. Under the barbaric usage of the present day the language of a man so situated is best expressed in print by a series of dashes. This is inconvenient in practice aad erron eous In theory; let us reform it. Ev en for him ..ho misses his train by forty seconds balm might be found in such sl locution as "Shadowy perspec tives! It's gone!" Self-respect would be retained, and the period of waiting for that train no whit extended. SHOT BY WATCHMAN. NEW YORK. .Sept. 15. While pass ing Sunset Park.

THE STAMP OF TRUTH alm Realdeata Xmn It Hell - There is' the stamp of truth on a statement endorsed by people we know by our friends and neighbors. The following experience of a citizen is, but one case of scores- right here at home. Charles Beadle, veteran of the civil war, member of Company X. N. Y. in fantryi residing at 423 West Sixth street. Eugene, Ore., says: "I was afflicted with kidney complaint for a great many years, I might say, ever since X came out of the service In the sixties. I never knew the moment when any over exertion or the contrac tion of a cold would bring on an at tack and on more than one occasion I have been so bad that I was almost helpless. .The last severe attack I had was about six months ago. when the lambness across the small of my back set in in dead earnest nd ft It as though' there, waa'a'heavy weight over each kidney, v There 'was a weak ness of the bladder and kidneys and the secretions were not under proper control.

OGDEN. Utah. Sept. 15. Twenty-six states and territories are represented at the Irrigation Congress In the Ogden tabernacle' today, this being the largest number ever represented.. As showing how the movement has taken a nation al scope, the delegates were present even from New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Vermont, while from the West the representatives' came by the hundreds.. The convention. In fact, has run away with the officers of the con gress, for, with, the delegates already on the ground and more coming, the seating capacity of the tabernacle Is totally inadequate. An international as pect was lent to the proceedings by the presence of two representatives of foreign ' governments, Mexico and Franc, while the government at Wash J ington was represented by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. At both sessions the building was packed. . The day was devoted to' welcoming speeches and resppnses,introducing res olutions and in getting down to a. work ing basis.

No opposition to the "present officers of the 'congress has developed and the sentiment seems unanimous for the re election of President . A. Clark and the other officers. President Clark 'this afternoon caused considerable un holy Joy by declaring his Intention lim iting the speeches to ten minutes, if possible, the great number scheduled and the amount of work to be accom? plished rendering sohie action of this kind absolutely necessary.
