Only committee amendments were adopted. The gal leries were crowded and hundreds of people tilled the corridors, unable even to secure standing room in the galleries.

Steunenberg. Washington, April 4. Mr. Burbridge. who was in charge of the Bunker Ilill mine when it was attacked by the union miners, was the star witness la the Coeur d'Alene case yesterday. He said he took charge in 1S93. At that time the miners and laborers were paid $3 a day, as against $3.50, the union scale. There were continual threats to "clean out" the Bunker Hill mine. After being cloned for a time the Bunker Hill was started up as a strictly pon-union mine. The union men had control, however, of the ap proaches to the Coeur d'Alene and with arms frightened away non-union men and "scabs." The mine succeeded, however, in manning its plant. In 1890, he said, dynamite was used against the mine, and fire did some damage to the mill. The mine was Injured. Threats con tinued, he said, up to the time of the culmination of the agitation last April. The miners' union at Wardner met on Sunday, April 23, a. week before tne explosion, and sent a delegation ohlm (Burbridge) to demand $3.50 a day all around. After fruitless conference a strike was ordered. The Bunker Hill employes were stopped on the road by an armed mob, revolvers were flour ished and the wokmen were chased through the streets. Later In the day an armed mob took possession of the tramway of the mine and held It for a time. Burbridge said he received frequent warnings that he would be killed and the mine blown up. Representative Sulzer asked for the names of those giving the warnings. Burbridge de clined to give the names, saying it would imperil the lives of those who gave the warnings. The Idaho courts had upheld him, be said, In this refusal to divulge names. Sulzer protested, but the committee sustained the witness.

"Where are these messages?" asked Sulzer. "Blown up with the mill." replied the witness. He said the presence of the military was essential to the main tenance of peace; the only objections to the military came frm those who wished to break the law. Monday Governor Steunenberg closed his testlmny after being twelve days on the stand. His close was marked by a sensation. He was asked what he knew of a conspiracy in con necticn -with the blowlne. tin of the Bunker Hill mine, and said: "f learned that Kd Boyee. president of the West ern Federation of Miners, was in that county ten days before the explosion of the Bunker nill and Sullivan mills, and at that time h; inaugurated or perfected this conspiracy by choosing twenty men frori the different organ izations in that county and swearing them. These twenty men chose one each and swore him. and the forty each chose a man and swore him, and the eighty each chose a man ana swore him." Representative Hay questioned th governor sharply as to his sources ol iuformatlon and from whom he learned this. The governor hesitated a minute and said: "I learned these facts from James It. Sovereign, through a mutual friend." When Hay wanted the name of the mutual friend there was some question as to giivng the name, but the governor finally gave It as A. B. Camp bell. Hay asked If Campbell was in the committtee room, aud the answer came that he was. Sovereign was alsa present. The governor also said that in 1S97 the officers of the Western Federation of Miners were advlsinc the armine of the unions, and he had an address bj one of these officials stating that "ev ery union should have a rifle club" and that "iu two years we can hear the in spiring music of 25.000 armed men in the ranks of labor." Later a body of armed and masked men ap peared at Mullan and compelled the delivery of a large supply of arms and ammunition, owned by the state of Idaho; and stored there pending the or ganization of a militia company. When he applied to the local sheriff foi Information on the matter the latter answered in effect to "mind your own business." STIJUCK BY MOVING TKAIX Cbarlea Selby Killed in Accidental Manner Near Cullom. From Wednesday's Dally Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock, Burlington pissenger train No. 4 struck a man named Charles Selby, in flicting injuries from the effects of which he died an hour later. The accident occurred near Cullom, and the unfortunate. man was brought to this city, and was in the last throes of dissolution when the train arrived at the station. Selby was a teamster handling rock at the quarry track between Cullom and Oreapolis, and it is reported that he was driving a team along the track when the horses took fright at the ap- proachiog train and started to run over the crossing.' He was running alongside the team, pulling back on, the lines, tryirg to stop theteara when he was struck by the engine. One leg was broken and bis head was badly gasbed by striking a stone upon which he was thrown. Coroner Gass empanelled a jury this morning, consisting of Messrs. rwik Wiles, W. D. Jones, S. F. Os born, Asher Clark, Andy Taylor and Arthur Zimmerman. Several of the trainmen and passengers, together with a number of residents from the vicinity of Cullom, were present at the hearing, and from their testimony the jury concluded that no blame could be attached to the railway company or its employes. While a number of scars and bruises were found upon the Jead man's body, it was not clearly shown whether tbey had been inflicted by the locomotive or from coming in con tack with rocks when thrown from the wagon. A verdict to this effect was brought in at 2:30 this afternoon. To, Burlington offlcfals, upon in quiry, learned that Selby had a brother living at liott, Iowa, and the latter was imtnediataly notified of the acci dent. In response to the message, the brother and an uncle, W. P. Wood, came in this morning and made ar rangements for shipping the body to Elliott. They stated that the decased has a father living who is a physician at Elliott, .and that the unfortunate yotiog man had been -employed for a numoer of years as a druggist. He was about twenty-five years of age. For coughs aed colds there ia no medicine so effective as Ballard's Hore hound syrup. It is the ideal remedy Price, 25 cents and 50 cents. F.

Mini DI When the excretory organs fail to carry off the waste material from the svstem, there is an abnor mal accumulation of effete matter which poisons and clogs the blood, and it becomes sour and acid. This poison is carried through the general circulation to all parts of the body, and upon reaching the skin surface there is a redness and eruption, and by certain peculiarities we recognize Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Pseriasis, Erysipelas and many other skin troubles, more or less severe! While the skin is the seat of irritation, the real disease is in the blood. Medicated lotions and powders may allay the itching and burninar. but never cure, no matter how lontr anH fit hfniiv continued, and the condition is often aggravated and skin permanently injured by their use. The disease is more than shin deep; (he enure circulation is poisoned. The many preparations of arsenic, mercury, potash, etc., not only do not cure skin diseases, but soon ruin the digestion and break down the constitution. m S. S. S., nature's own remedy, made of roots, herbs and barks, of great purifying and tonical properties, quickly and effectually cures blood and skin troubles, because it goes direct to the root of the disease and stimulates and restores normal, healthy action to the different organs, cleanses and enriches the blood, and thus relieves the svstem of all poisonous secretions! S. S. S. cures permanently because it leaves none of the original poison to referment in the blood and cause a fresh attack Skin Diseases will be sent free upon application.
