ARRESTED AS AN ACCESSORY.

PARIS, Tex, May deputy Marshal
Parker has brought in Charley Box from
the Chickasaw nation for being an acces-
sorry to the murder of Charlie Cook, at
Painters ranch, thirty-five miles west OF
Purcell, last Monday. Cook had been sus-
pected of seducing the daughter. Heavy
guards, with the assistance of Box, en-
deavored to compel Cook to marry the
girl. This he refused to do alleging that
the woman was immoral before he knew
her. The woman informed the deputy
that her father killed Cook, ann that Box
held her and prevented her from going to
Cook and warning him that be would be
killed. Gourley was carried to Denison
by Deputy Marshal Wright. The COM
missioners there have decided that the
case comes under the jurisdiction of the
Muskogee court. District Attorney Nc
Comb has gone to Denison to investigate
the matter and inform the commissioner
of his error, as the law clearly places the
jurisdiction here.

GLACIERS IN ALASKA.
They Surpass In Grandeur the Very Bes

They surpass In Grandeur the Very Best
the Alps Can Offer.
The southwestern face of ST. Elias,
it is safe to say, will never be climbed;
it presents a mass of broken snow,
beautiful. yet forbidding. We esti-
mated the summit to be about 1000
feet above us, making its total height
is, 500 feet. 1t seemed to US that the
Coast Survey in giving it 10, 500 feet
was too liberal in its figures. The day
was cloudless; the whole scene was
one that battles description. 1t sur
passed in grandeur, though not in
picturesqueness, the very best that the
Alps can offer. Roughly speaking.
the eye encountered for miles nothing
but snow and ice. had never before
thoroughly realized the vastness of
the Alaskan glaciers, though during
the past fortnight we had spent many
weary hour in crossing immense
moraines. One of the glaciers we
looked down upon was not less than
sixty miles long, while another at
tanned a breadth of twenty-five or
thirty miles. From below / had gained
the impression that ice covered with
debris predominated over white ice. l
now saw that this was not the case,
and that the ratio of debris to clear
ice was probably not greater than
that of one to ten. When standing at
a considerable height one appreciates
for the first time the beautiful curves
through which the glaciers alter their
course, We noticed this in particular
in looking down upon the Agassiz
glacier. 1t appeared at one point to
describe three or four arcs of con-
centric circles with radii varying from
eight to ten miles, each arc being in
dicated by a light coating OF stones,
the whole resembling an immense race
course. Through the middle of tho
Tyndall glacier, and for a distance Of
several miles, two light streaks OF mo-
raine ran parallel to each other, pre-
senting from above the appearance OF
a huge serpent crawling the length Of
the glacier. Magazine

The manufacture of stained and

DEPEW TESTIFIEs.
The Railway Magnate Examined by the
Snecial Senate Committee.

NEW YORK, May THE senate COM
mittee which is investigating the working
of the interstate commerce law resumed
its labors at the Fifth avenue hotel
promptly at 10 o'clock this forenoon. Sen
ator Platt has been added to the senators
present yesterday. The committee to-
day is composed Of Chairman Cullom and
Senators Platt, Hiscock, Blair, Harris,
German and Reagan. Chauncy NJ. De-
pew, of the New York Central. and Gen.
eral Manager Joseph HiXon, of the Grand
Trunk railroad, were in attendance to
submit to the committee proceedings, and
a dozen interested spectators helped to fill
the parlors.
c. NJ. Depew was the first witness called
to the chair Many Of his statements
showed that he agreed on several points
with the opinions of the two previous wit
nesses, Commissioner Fink and President
John King. of the Erie road. Mr.. Depew
gave his opinions on the workings of the
interstate law and to a question as to
what amendment he could suggest to the
present Interstate law in order to protect
the American railroad, Mr.. Depew said the
roads doing business in this country,
whether Mexican or Canadian. should be
made to comply with the condition of the
law as the American roads must do. At
present, he said, it was very easy for
Canadian roads to get large quantities of
freight by means of rebates. Pooling he
considered a good thing and should have
been permitted. The tendency of all
roads is to lower freight rates and no
amount of pooling could offer this ten
dency. The interstate commerce bill by
making the roads publish their rates had
given the stronger roads more business,
taking it away from the weaker roads
proportionately. The interstate law will
never be effective nor operative until in
some form there is legalized pool
Chairman Cullom questioned Mr., De-
pew closely as TO the practice of using
Canadian cars on American roads and
vice versa. From Mr.. Depew's answer it
appears that American and Canadian cars
are used indiscriminately on both sides of
the line, without regard to the imposition
of custom duties upon them, although the
Grand Trunk line uses ten American cars
on the line where one of the Grand Trunks
cars are used, making the proportion
about one to ten.
Senator PlatU - Don't YOU think it
would have been better if goods destined
TO points within the United States borders
had not been allowed TO so through Can
ada?'
Mr.. Depew-"If you go back to that. the
thing is an existing fact"
Senator Blair wished TO know what
would be the result of war between Cana
dian and the United States.
We'll it would last just three days"
said the Central's PRECEDENT
Mr.. Depew was followed by General
Manager Joseph Hixon, OF the Grand
trunk railroad He, after some question.
finally acknowledged that the Grand
Trunk road practically controlled the
rates between Chicago and Portland.

A FALL OF FROGS.

JAMESTOWN, OAK, May About G
o'clock last night peculiar circumstance
was noticed by a number of people. A
small black cloud hanging rather low
was noticed to move rather queerly, when
suddenly the cloud was lost sight of and a
precipitation of frogs was seen. There
were several hundred of them and they
could be seen hopping upon the street a
block away. A number of dogs were
promptly on hand and made it lively for
the hoppers. 1t is claimed that funnel
shaped cloud Indicating a cyclone was
seen in the west shortly before and the
theory of some is that the frogs were
caught up from some slough by this whirl-
wind and carried in the air until it spent
its force, which happened to be over the
center of the principal business street.

CIGARS ARE NOT MEDICINE.

Boston, May Phillip Marzyniski
keeps cigar store at the corner of Ire
mont and Elliott streets. He was recently
convicted in the superior criminal court
for keeping open on the Lords day. AT
the trial his counsel, E. B. Goodsell, at
tempted to introduce the point which one
Massachusetts, jury had already accepted,
that tobacco came within the exception of
drugs and medicine. He offered expert
testimony and the United States DISPENSE
tory to show this. which was
excluded by the court. He en-
tered exceptions. The full bench of
the supreme court today gave decision
overruling them and affirming the judg-
ment of conviction. The court says the
court has judicial knowledge of the mean
ing Of common words, and may well rule
that guns and pistols are not drugs or
medicines, and may exclude the opinions
of witnesses who offer to testify that they
are. MANY things which are not in
themselves medicines may be put to medi-
cal use," says the court "aud when SO
used they may become medicines, but
there was no evidence in the present case
that the cigars which the defendant sold
were used or were intended to be used as
medicine, or that the defendant kept his
shop open for the purpose of furnishing
cigars to be used incidentally"
