The quartette have made a complete confession to the police and the officers are inclined to believe their story that they were the only ones implicated. The names of the four boys are: Albert Hatch, aged 15. Harry Rheams, aged 15. William Randall, aged 17. George Creswell, aged 16. According to the story told by Randall, Rheams and Creswell, the holdup was planned and carried out under the generalship of Hatch, the youngest of the four, who is said to have turned the switch, ordered the engineer to back up, and to have gone through the passenger coaches with the conductor, forcing the latter at the point of a gun to collect money from the passengers. According to the other boys, it was also Hatch who shot Dempsey and shot at Conductor Jack Hayes, sending a bullet through Hayes’ left sleeve. The boys had read considerable “yellow” literature on the subject of train robberies, and they were desirous of emulating the examples of the Younger brothers, Kid Curry and his gang and Frank Hauser and McDonald.

Dubois, Portland, Ore.—Governor C. E. Chamberlain, Democrat, is the choice of the people of Oregon for the United States senatorship, to succeed Charles W. Fulton, Republican, and a Republican legislature has been chosen to elect him. Chamberlain's victory is more in the nature of a personal triumph. Oregon normally is Republican, and in 1904 Roosevelt's plurality was 42,434. yovernor Chamberlain has twice been elected governor cf this state. The selection of C sambertais: by the people is but a preliminary step to the senatorship. In Oregon candidates for the iegislature allign themselves either in the “Statment No. 1” column or in the “Anti-Staftement No. 1” column, “Statement No, 1” is a pledge to support in the legislature the candidate having the endorsement of the people, and the antis prefer to elect a senator by the old system. The complexion of the next legislature, as indicated by the returus, will be almost solidly Republican, and it may be the lot of a Republican legislature to send a Democrat to the senate. Already there is talk of detections from the ranks of the “Statement No. 1” legislators, and it is not improbable that in the seven months intervening between now and the date of the next session of the legislature some plan may be devised to beat Chamberlain and send a Republican to the United States senate. From the figures at hand it would appear that there will be about forty“ eight “Statement No. 1” men in the next legislature, including seventeen senators and thirty-one representatives. It requires about forty-six votes to elect. - Bryan Military Writer Attempts to Murder Twin Falls, idaho—-Two conventions of Democrats were held in this city on Wetnesday, Many Years and a Strong Supporter of ees | Anti-Dubois Forces Bolt the | drawn picture of a skull and cross| bones. | | | Personal Effects of Mrs, Gunness | Sold at Fancy Prices. | | Laporte, Ind.—The auction sale of |the personal property left by Mrs. | Belle Gunness was attended by between 4,000 and 5,000 persons.

Washington,—At 4.30 o'clock Saturady the senate adopted the report of the conferees of the two houses of congress on the Aldrich-Vreeland emergency bill by the decisive vote* of 43 to 22, and thus was taken the last congressional step necessary toward the enactment of emergency currency legislation, the legislation toward which congress has directed its principal effort since it convened last December. The result came unexpectedly soon, but not until the senate had been well worn out by a filibust- er which, while not largely supported, , made up in intensity what it lacked in numbers. 3 Congressmen Spend Last Moments of ‘ Strenuous Session in Singing Songs. Washington.—Just ten minutes, of- ficially, before the hands of the big . round clock in the chambers of the two houses of congress pointed tothe hour of midnight, Saturday, May 30, the first session of the Sixtieth congress came to a close. In tha house the closing hours were characterized by singing of songs by Republicans in honor of Speaker Cannon, and by Democrats in the interest of W. J. Bryan. The excitement, which was great at times, frequently subsided, and the session closed with good fellowship among the members. The senate was extremely quiet during the closing hours, held together only by the necessity of remaining in session for the engrossing and signing of bills. The last days of the senate will be memorable on account of the filibuster of Messrs. La Follette, Stone and Jore on the currencybill by the remarkable interpretation of the rules which go far to establish a cloture in a body noteworthy for freedom of debate, and by the final passage of the currency bill. President Roosevelt and several of his cabinet were at the capitoi during the evening. Flag Caused Boy’s Death.
