It was formerly believed that the
hairs composing the fur Of the ermine.
which 10 brown In summer ana white
IN winter, could not change their hue.
and that the difference In color be-
tween the summer and winter coats OF
tho animal arose solely from the fact
that ut the beginning Of winter the
summer fur is shed and q new coat.
Of snowy whiteness, takes its place.
Lately, however, experiments have
shown that II an ermine wearing its

Henry Altpeter's Application to JUS
fiCe Henry.

The case of Henry Altpeter, charged
by George Herget with malicious mis-
chief in tearing down a fence on some
land near the mouth of Bannon Slough,
was called in Justice Henry's court
yesterday.
S. r. Hart, counsel for the defendant,
presented an affidavit in which his eli
ent alleged that he did not think he
could have fair and impartial trial be-
fore Justice Henry, because of the lat
ter's social and other relations with the
complaining witness. He therefore
asked for change of venue.
Justice Henry scored the defense Sc
verely for presenting such an affidavit,
which, he said, was false in it's assump
tions. He was acquainted with Mr..
Herget, and that was all; and neither
he nor any other man had any strings
on him, so to speak. His personal reIa-
tions with litigants We're sunk out of
sight when they appeared in his court.
Assistant District Attorney Jones
also attacked the insufficiency of the
affidavit, and hinted that it's contents
did not fall far short of perjury
Justice Henry, resuming, said he had
no desire to try any man who did not
wish to be tried by him, but if insuffi-
cient cause were shown in behalf of the
application for q change of venue he
would do his duty as required by the
law

HEARTILY INDORSED.
Let Preparation be Made for Free
Coinage of Silver.

From the Bakersfield Californian
The Record Union" is not one of
| those papers which denounces silver
men as fools, idiots, rascals, repudia-
tionists and SO on. 1t believes. on the
contrary, in discussing the financial
question with calmness and decency,
just is it discusses all questions.
1t now comes out with a suggestion
as to free silver which IS full of good
sense and wisdom. 1t calls attention to
the fact that the specie payment re-
sumption Act was passed four years
before it went into operation, thus Civ
ing the country time to adjust itself to
the new conditions, which it did without
a shock and with no disturbance of
business. Reasoning from this prece-
dent, the Record Union" says:
The Record Union now suggests
that the controversy between the gold
standard and bimetallic standard men
of this nation might be compromised by
fixing a time for the free and unlimited
| coinage of silver at a future period, say
on the first day of January, 1907. This
would accomplish many things. First,
| it would promote international agree
ment in favor of bimetallism. The ma
that the United States had declared in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver to take effect January, {, 1907.
Second, the value of silver bullion would
| be enhanced, because as soon as it is de-
clared that some time in the future, and
at a date fixed, the unlimited coinage
of silver will be established, the value
of silver bullion would raise. This
/ = ~ Of ol11a
between gold and silver more nearly to
that obtaining before the demonetiZa
ton of silver in 1878 Third, and most
| important, the commercial and indus
| trial conditions of the country would
adjust themselves without wrench or
shock. 1t is with very mature delibera-
ton, therefore, that we make the sug
gestion in favor of general compro-
mise along the lines indicated"
The Californian most heartily in
dorses the idea. If in the four years Of
| leeway of the resumption Act business
had not adjusted itself to the coming
change; if it had promised to produce
| panic, there is no doubt Congress
would have modified the law to meet
the contingency. Yet there was no
| financial disturbance threatened and
long before the date set for resumption
| that change was practically accom-
plished.
| Let the same thing be done with the
silver question. Set a date two or four
years in advance for the adoption of
| free coinage. This will give abundant
opportunity to demonstrate who are
correct in their prophecies-the gold
bugs or the silver men. If the trend Of
affairs is toward prosperity, toward the
comparative parity of gold and silver on
the 16 to / basis, we'll and good. If not,
then there will be time to revise legisla-
ton and avoid any panic.

SIOUY CITY, Ia, Feb. 24-The re-

preme court OH an important Pennsyl.
vania case involving the application of
the interstate commerce law to freight
charges on goods shipped from point to
point in the same state which i'll transit
pass through a second state has dis
posed of a number Of similar actions in
Northwestern Iowa. For several years
there has been litigation over the
charges made by the Milwaukee road
on goods shipped from Sioux City
to Akron, Hawarden and other
Iowa points in the same neighborhood.
On the ground that the road passed a
part of the way through South Dakota
the company has insisted that it had
the right to make its charges under in
terstate rules. The shippers maintained
that. as the shipments started in Iowa
and ended in the same state, the
charges were subject to state regula-
ton, which would make them consid-
erably lower. This view having been
sustained by the supreme court. the
road has settled the cases by paying
back all money claimed as o~vercharge,
and will in future make its changes in
accordance with the Iowa law.
