D, Haywood for the murder of for­ mer Gov. Steunenberg entered on its tenth week Monday and the end is in sight The state has begun the pre­ sentation of rebuttal evidence. Evidence has been introduced in support of the charge brought by the state of Idaho that a conspiracy ex­ isted among high officials of the West­ ern Federation of Miners to intlmi date all persons who ran counter to the purposes of union labor with a view to establishing members of or­ ganized bodies of workingmen as mas ters of the situation, thus commencing a political and industrial reorganize tion which, having its initiative in the west, should spread with irresistible force throughout every section of the country. Evidence has been intro­ duced to show that in pursuance of this conspiracy, 18 men were mur­ dered. Defense Shows Counter Plot. In defense of the man immediately concerned and of the officers of the Western Federation of Miners who are charged with participating in the plans for murder as a means to the desired ends, evidence has been intro­ duced to show that another and coun­ ter conspiracy existed among employ­ ers of labor in the west, looking to the annihilation of the Western Federa­ tion of Miners in particular, because the federation represented the cause of organized labor. Evidence has been introduced to show that in fur­ therance of the conspiracy among actual employers and capitalists, 18 innocent men wer% killed and the con­ stitution of the United States was vio­ lated. The state of Idaho has produced Harry Orchard, who swears that he is the actual murderer of the 18 nien whose death is not disputed. He swears that he was employed by Wil­ liam D. Haywood, Charles H. Moyer, the president, and others of the West­ ern Federation, to murder for a price. The Western Federation of Miners has produced witnesses to contradict the testimony of the self-confessed murderer and other witnesses to show that if he murdered, he murdered be­ cause he was employed by detectives in the employ of the owners of mines and wealthy citizens of Colorado to commit crimes that might be laid to the door of the Western Federation, Haywood Witness Arrested.; The rebuttal for the state so far is being directed against the witnesses produced by the defense to discredit Orchard. It the end of the first day of rebuttal a warrant was issued for Dr. I. L. McGee, who swore that he saw Orchard in North Idaho at a time when Orchard swore he was in Den­ ver. McGee is a prominent man living in the northern part of the Btate. Counsel for the defense, as soon as they heard of the warrant having been Issued, sent a telegram to Mc­ Gee, in which, according to Clarence Darrow, one of ^Haywood's counsel, they urged him to come to Boise at once. He was arrested In Spokane Sunday night and waived extradition. Dewey Confirms Orchard. The most novel feature of the case i» the confession of the witness, William Dewey, who Saturday swore that he participated in the riots in the Coeur d'Alenes when two men wefe killed. In making this confession Dewey laid himself open to arrest. Counsel for the state express the opinion that Dewey will not be prose­ cuted. Among the men now in Boise as wit­ nesses for the defense is W. A. Davis, who was-indicted by the grand jury of Shoshone county as a leader in the same riot. He has been in the state of Idaho for 30 days and no effort has been made to act on the indictment. Building Falls; Three Dead.

Mich.--John Sweeney, wide- ly known as an amateur billiard player, committed suicide here Thurs­ day afternoon by firing a bullet through his heart. He had been in 111 health .for a long Una* - - Paris.--The national fete Sunday was marred by a dastardly attempt on the life of President Fallieres by Leon Maille, a naval reservist of Havre, who, it is believed, is suffering from the mania of persecution. Maille fired two shots at the president but did not hit him. He was at once placed un­ der arrest On account of the activity of the anti-militarists, who tried to organize a demonstration against the army throughout France Sunday, exception­ al precautions were taken to safe­ guard President Fallieres. The at­ tempt on his life occurred on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees while the president was returning to the palace from Longchamps, where he had re­ viewed the garrison of Paris in the presence of 250,000 enthusiastic peo­ ple. The carriage had safely emerged from the Bole de Boulogne, when at the corner of Lesueur street Maille from the curb fired two shots point blank at the president in quick suc­ cession. Miraculously no one was hit. Two policemen seized Maille, who made no resistance, but the police with difficulty prevented the irate crowd from lynching the prisoner un­ til a cordon of reserves came up and conducted him to the station. There Maille refused to give any reasons for his act, saying: "The revelations I have are so grave and serious that I will only make them before a magistrate for transmis­ sion to the chief of state. It is a mat­ ter between the government and me. I am the victim of many villainies." Some of the witnesses of the shoot­ ing said that Maille fired in the air. It is believed that the man partici­ pated in the recent seamen's strike and that his mind had been unhinged by fancied grievances. It is believed also that he aided in the revolutionary agitation of the General Federation of Labor and the anti-militarists.

While the disturbance was In prog­ ress Mayor Joel H. Cutchin, who was in the street begging the crowds to disperse, was struck on the legs and severely bruised by rocks thrown by unknown parties.

OUIDA IN ABSOLUTE POVERTY. British Government Grants Novelist Pension of $750 a Year. London. -- The appearance of the name of the English novelist Ouida (Louise de la Ramee), on the new list of civil pensions for literary merit occasioned some surprise here. Inquiries were at once made concern­ ing the novelist's circumstances and from them it turns out that the pen­ sion of $750 a year granted by the government is a greatly needed bene­ faction. Until two years ago Mile, de la Ramee lived at Lucca, Italy, in luxury. As a result, however, of her complete ignorance of the value of money her resources dwindled until Bhe was re­ duced to a state of absolute poverty, being sometimes actually In want of food. Latterly she has been living in a milkman's squalid cottage at Mas- sarosa, eight miles from Lucca. Bold Robbery of Pawnshop.

Avenged Girl's Wrong--Jury at^La Flats, Md., Requires But Five Minutes to Reach Verdict. La Plata, Md.--It took the jury in the Bowie murder trial Friday but five minutes to decide that, in southern Maryland, at least, the "unwritten law" is the law to which tli'e seducer must hold himself answerable. And while there was no marked demonstra­ tion when the verdict became known, there was sufficient evidence that the verdict of the jury was the verdict of the people of this section of the coun­ try. Both Jury and people acquit Mrs. Mary E. Bowie and her son, Henry, of all blame for their, acknowledged slaying last January of Hubert Posey, the seducer of their daughter and sis­ ter, Priscilla Bowie, who, with her fatherless child, made a most pathetic picture in the courtroom during the progress of the trial. That, there was no demonstration was doubtless due to the fact that the verdict of the jury was announced to the judges while they were at dinner during recess.

Taste of Two men were discussing the var­ ious food products now being supplied In such variety and abundance. One, a grocer, said, "I frequently try a package or so of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and In that way sometimes form a different Idea than my customers have. "For instance, I thought I Would try some Postum Food Coffee, to see what reason there was for such a call for it. At breakfast I didn't like it and supper proved the same, so I naturally con­ cluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along. "A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum. " •I know just what is the matter,' she said, *you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes It boiled; now if you will have It left to boil fuU flfteen minutes after It commences to boil, you will find a delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will never abandon It, particularly when you see the great gain In health.' Well, I took another trial and sure enough I Joined the Postum army for good, and life seems worth living since I have gotten rid of my old time stom­ ach and kidney troubles." Postum is no sort of medicine, but pure liquid food, and this, together with a relief from coffee worked the change. "There's a Reason."
