Editors of FREE TRADER:
notice in your Sunday issue an
article regarding the acquittal of Geo.
Boiler: which in tendency is com
plimentary to his attorneys, Messrs.
Jas. H. EckelS, and Rector c. Hit.
But nevertheless it does by no means
full justice to these two young at
tOrneys. Since | am, with the ex-
ception Of the parties directly inter
ested in this case, better acquainted
with all The details and particulars of
the three famous trials of the defend
ant than any one else. perhaps.
consider myself not only competant
to express publicly an opinion in re-
gard to the merits Of the attorneys
named, but ! believe it TO be my sol
emn duty towards the public to "give
honor to whom honor is due"
"C'est Ie ton, quitdd Ia m,tsigue'' and
so IL is the crystallizatiOn Of all the es-
sential attributes of man and jurist.
which form the distinctive qualitica-
tons OF a successful attorney. who is
not only an honor to his profession but
at the same time truly noble char
acterfn the best sense of the word.
This murder case seems TO be with
out a parallel in the history OF our
courts, and, unquestionably, il is
without a parallel SO far as the ability,
the generosity, the falthfulness and
indomitable energy OF the attorneys
for the defense are concerned.
The Characteristic Of our time is the
sacrd d,ri fumes, the Unsuitable, dam
nable hunger for gold: the desire to
get rich & tO,a pria. What a benig-
nant contrast is the action OF these

DOdTu, WIFI us TccuS, ttt., are nON
fastened together and placed in tbs
cases, the bellows resting just below
the sounding board. Then the stop
board, containing twelve stops, Is
fastened TO the front Of the case
There are four principal and eight
secondary stops. The ''meloda" STOP
releases the "melodia" reeds, the "v0X
celeste" stop the "vOX celeste reeds,
etc. The forte" stop opens the swell,
I. e., releases all opposition to the
sound, while the remaining stops,
with the exception of the "harmOuiC
bass" and harmonic" treble, open the
space above the reeds more or less
! freely. The harmonic" stops are
octave cOuplers. enabling two octaves
to sounded with one key and incrcas-
ing the volume.
When fitted and marked the sound
ing board and keyboard are removed
from the case and taken to the tuning
rooms. Here the final finishing touches
are placed upon the ''insidcs." The
tuning rooms are square apartments
about twelve feet each way and one
tuner Is assigned to each room, this
arrangement being for the benefit Of
the tuner, who must hear only the
sound Of his own reeds.
What is a reed? You have seen a
harmOnica, commonly known as a
mouth organ? You have noticed the
small pieces OF brass attached to the
top Of its sounding board? These are
reed tongues, and the reed consists of
a small brass casting, varying in size
from an inch to over two inches in
length, by from three.eights to a half
inch in width. There Is an Obl0ngI
hole in the centre and above this the
tongue is attached. 1t is the tongue
which makes the music and this is
where reed is similar to IA woman.
The tuner has an assistant, who files
the tongues of the reeds, and
in something like working order
He first voices them. That is, lie
makes them equal in volume and eX-
tongue. He then tunes the entire
four half set. lie takes tuning fork
and touches up the key of "C' until it
is correct, and then makes the re-
manning tones Of the octave harmon
iZe. From this octave he tunes the |
remaining four.
NOW Jnc 'lIlSlutS are III Jlle Cast
and the case ready for the market.
But, you ask, how does it work?
You pull out the proper stops and
pump air into the bellows by means of
the treadle. You press on key; the
key releases the valve beneath the
reed and allows the air to force itself
upward, setting the tongue of the
reed in vibration and thus you pro-
duce sound. You know the rest.
What does an organ sell for?
The cheapest organ made by the
Western Cottage Organ Company sells
for 500 and the best for &l75, the latter
being the imitation reed organ, used
in village and country churches.
How are they sold?
The Company has system Of agen-
cies much like the Singer Sewing
Machine Company. and sells through
out the United States.
So much for the organ. 1t is the
flower Of the home on the farm and in
the mechanics and lahorerS cottage.
Those who are not so circumStanced
As to possess piano are the patrons of
the organ. Long may it beautify life
in a cottage.

On Monday afternoon the chicken
case, as it has been chrlstened, was de-
cidcd by Judge Stipp. The Court held
that the defendants were not guilty of
Il violation of the game laws. A law
which went into force In July, 1888,
made it unlawful to shoot game he
tween Jan. Ii and Sept. Of each and
every year. Several other laws were
passed i'm 1888 and in July, 1889. a law
was passed by the legislature which
made it unlawful to shoot prairie
chickens between Nov. I and Sept. Ii
Of the succeeding year. When this law
was passed all previous laws were, of
course, set aside and declared invalid.
Judge Stipp said that he was glad
the law was in Morrissey's favor, but
thought the sheriff was short Of meat
at the time of the shooting, and
prairie chicken is delicacy which few
people can have on the table. Dan
Mills and his brother George are the
other defendants. The case may b.
taken TO the higher court.
