EXPECTED SOMETHING OF THE
KIND

PITTsBURG, Pa, August 16.-Concern-
ing the tragic ending of Judge Terry, ex-
solicitor General George A. jerks, who is
now in this city, said Il expected some
thing of the kind would happen. We
heard of the threats last winter that Terry
had made against the life of Justice Field
and the other judges and the attorney
general was worried about it. We knew
what kind of a man Judge Terry was. He
came to California from Texas with asbig
reputation and malignant disposition. He
was known to be man who never forgave
any one and naturally his fellow justices
have been apprehensive of the safety of
Judge Field since be sent Terry to Jail for
contempt of court. But Justice Field is
courageous man and at no time did he eX-
press any fears. heard him say last win
ter that he would attend his duties in Cal
ifOrnia as he had always done. He would
go every place where he had work to do
and ne would not go out of his way to
avoid Terry, | think the justice would
have defended himself, too, if it had been
necessary. He is not one of these who
stand idly by when his life is in jeopardy
Had the attorney general a right to
delegate marshal to protect the judge"
We'll, / would rather not answer that
question. The attorney general is at the
head of the department of justice and all
the machinery of the courts is under his
control. He is bound to preserve peace
and order in the courtrooms. 1t would
certainly be most atrocious crime IL a
judge should be murdered off the bench
for any official act"

manufactured from celluloid, arein daily
use by large numbers Of the people.
The question is asked, May they be
safely usedY' Celiuloid Is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex-
plosive compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with a
mixture of two parts of nitric acid and
five parts Of sulphuric acid. The cellu-
lose Of the paper, derived from the cell
lular tissue OF the cotton IN common use,
is changed by the combination and be-
comes gun cotton. To make celluloid,
the excess of acid is washed out by the
free use of water, and by pressure care
fully applied. After the removal OF all
uncombined acid, it is reduced 10 ho-
mogeneous pulpy mass, strained until #
becomes nearly dry, and is then mixed
with about one-third of is weight Of
gam camphor.
These materials are mixed as uniform
IL as possible BY careful manipulation
with wooden Instruments. and then by
grinding The pulp which is turned out
by grinding Is spread out and reduced to
slabs of various thicknesses and rolled
between steam heated rollers, and then
becomes moderately elastic in strips Of
medium thickness. In this form it is
worked up into the various articles
which are offered for saic md use. Al
though gun cotton is easily manufact-
ured, its manufacture for experiment or
for general use is not recommended; and,
celluloid articles may be safely
used with ordinary care. a bonfire Of
such articles for amusement Is not rec
commended. No injuries from such use
have been reported. a word TO the wise,
however, suiIices.--Anerican Analyst

kANSAS-MlsSOuRI STATEIINE.

ATCHIsoN, Kan, August 16-For- many
years there has been a dispute between the
authorities of Kansas and Missouri coun-
ties bordering ON the Missouri river as to
boundary lines. When Missouri was ad-
mitted to the union its west line was a
north and south line from the north lire
of Arkansas to the south line of Iowa.
Later the state of Missouri by agency of
the United States government bought all
that territory lying between the original
line of the river from the Platte Indians.
by the original treaty with the Platte In
dams extended TO low water mark on the
east side of the Missouri river. When
Kansas was admitted the line Of the state
was fixed on the west line Of the state of
Missouri The circuit court of Holt
county, Missouri, has decided that the
boundary line of Missouri only extends to
the low water mark.

JUSTICE FIELD ARRESTED

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, August 16.-Jus-
tice Field, of the United States supreme
court, was arrested today on the charge of
being party to the killing of David 5.
Terry at Lathrop last Wednesday. Appli-
cation was at once made for writ of
habeas corpus and the matter was heard
by Judge Sawyer, who granted the writ
and released Justice Field on 5000 bail.
The warrant for arrest Of Justice Field
was issued by a justice of the peace in
Stockton on complaint of Mrs. Sarah AL
thea Terry. Sheriff Cunningham, of
Stockton, arrived here with the warrant
last night and he applied to Judge Rix, of
the police court, to endorse it. Judge Rix
took the matter under advisement and
asked the advice of District Attorney
Page, the latter expressing the opinion
that the warrant should be endorsed.
Counsel who appeared for Justice Field
urged the judge to take testimony to as
certain if the warrant should have been
issued. He declared the issuance of the
warrant was nothing more than an at
tempt to humiliate a justice of the supreme
court. Judge Rlx finally endorsed the
warrant and placed it In the hands of Sher-
if Cunningham, who went to the United
GothbtS HHSLt
Fields chambers are located. Justice
Field arrived Mt his chambers about noon.
and with Judge Brewer, of Kansas. and
Judge Sawyer, awaited the arrival of the
sheriff. Sheriff Cunningham went first
TO the marshal's office and then accom-
panied by Chief of Police Crowley, Cap
tain Lees and United States Marshal
Franks, proceeded to Justice Fields
chambers. Justice Field arose to
receive the party and Sheriff
Cunningham presented the warrant
and formal application was made at once
Tor writ of habeas corpus, Judge Saw
yer granted the writ and the party retired
to the city court room. District Attorney
Casey announced that Sheriff Cunning
ham obeyed the writ of habeas corpus and
produced the prisoner and that he now
waited the further pleasure of the court.
Judge Sawyer set the case for next Thurs
day and ordered Justice Field released,
fixing bail at 5000. The petition for writ
of habeas corpus was made by Justice
Field himself, and is very lengthy docu-
ment. 1t sets forth in detail the facts of
the case already known. Petitioner fur

Pacific coast. His committal of Judge
Terry for contempt OF court was not only
imperstively demanded in defense Of his

other court in the United States against
lawless outrage. In my opinion it was
eminently proper that the attorney gen

HALE AND HEARTY IN OLD AGE.

What is more beautiful than an ancient
tree clothed with an ample robe of verdure.
Aptis the comparison between such a
growth and an old man or woman infufed
with health and vigor. The sine qua non,
the indispensable condition of vigorous
youth. robust manhood and verile old
age, is sound digestion. Without this
life is shorn of the hearty zest that should
attend it. No more benefcent and agree
able contributor to the attainment Of a
hale old age and efficient means of connt-
acting the infirmities that too often at
tend life's decline can be found than Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. Dyspeptic symp-
toms, tendency to kidney complaint,
nervous inquietude and rheumatic trouble
are overcome by its use. The. effect of
exposure and overwork are nullified by it,
and it affords efficient protection to all
subjected to malarial influences. Give it a

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS.


NEW YORK, August 1G-R G. Dun s.
Co. weekly review says:
In all directions business prospects con-
tinue encouraging and the changes during
the past week have been on the right side.
Exports increase, and a speculative rise in
breadstuffs has been checked. Interior
cities report an increase in the volume of
trade, and the money markets continue
amply supplied, though rates are grad
ually hardening. The great Industries ap-
pear TO be in fully as good condition as
last week, with clearer evidence Of i'm
provement in iron. Further crop news
sustain government advices and
strengthens the prevailing impression that
the August report as TO wheat WAS less
favorable than actual situation. The gen.
eral range of prices has not been changed
much and the railroad earnings continue
to be good, though all controversies have
not as yet been cleared away Tel
egraphic reports from the inter
Tor all agree crop prospects
are excellent and that the banks are as yet
amply provided with funds while the de-
mand for money is slowly increasing and
lenders are little more cautious at some
points. The treasury has obtained but
few bonds of late and its surplus has risen
above $40, 000, 0o0 but there is confidence
al the department that bonds will be free
ly offered whenever there is any need of
more money in the markets. The impress
sion among bankers. however. is that
most of the floating 1 per cents are held
for speculation in the belief that the treas
ury will be obliged to raise its price.
The business failures occurring through
out the country for the past seven days
number for the United States Isl and for
Canada sixty-two, or total of 2l3 as COM
pared with a total of POI last week and 2l0
the week previous. For the corresponding
week of last year the figures were 2l9,

Home Secretary Matthews and the ex-
perts assumed that Mrs. Maybrick was

ton sifted every scrap of testimony given

bands craze for arsenic, which is of great
weight and will, it is believed, turn the
