Sorg had these moulds in his posses
sion, there is evidence of those who
got them, and n of those who had
conversation with him in regard to
where he got them and their use.
Geo, Richie is a witness who will
testify to many of the facts in the
case. He is a brother-in-law of Sorg.
Some time ago an action for libel was
pending in a state court and the evil
dence was developed there which led
to the arrest of sSorg. Richie will
probably testify that Sorg had the
moulds in his possession, that he
made them, and that he Ritchie
found them in his house. He testi-
fed to this in the state court, and
will probably do s here. At the last
term Of the United States court
RItchie refused to testify on the
ground that he was fearful of per-
sonal violence, owing to threats made
by SOrg. These facts will undoubted-
ly be developed. For the last six
months, Ritchie has been confined in
the Ramsey county Jail for contempt
of court in refusing to testify. The
evidence will show that after the ar
rest of Sorg, threats were made by
the defendant against Ritchie, and
that a reward was offered Richie to
leave the state and that he was paid
money, believed to be $50, forleaving.
After this ne was induced to sign
some sort Of an affidavit that his testi-
mOny given in the state court was
false. He did leave the state, and in
order to produce him as a witness the
government had to 90 to Missouri,
and when he was brought back'he re-
fused to testify and was placed in Jail.
Ritchie's evidence will be abundantly
substantiated by others and the
moulds will be produced. 1t will be
shown that Sorg admitted that all
that he needed was one tool to give
him a complete counterfeiter's outfit.
Court took a recess until 200 p. m.

The following par: Of the open
ing address by the King Of Sweden
at the Stockholm exposition last
month, will interest our Swedish
readers:
While in the southeast corner of
oar continent war drags its bloody
mantle over the classic ground,
which, decorated by the many
thousand years old silver diadem
Of high Olympus, spreads itself out
between the minarets around the
cupola Of Sophia's temple by the
shores of Bosporus and by the
Acropolis, with its magnificent col
umns, there is preparing here in
Utmost Thule the old land of the
Sagas, as yet hardly known by
name in former Hcllas, an encoun-
ter Of q different character. Vol
unteers have indeed also here
crossed the bouudry, but they did
not advance with the torch of hate
in clenched hands, but approach ed
with arms outstretched for friendly
handshake. And here to-day So
phia's day, beneath the clear dome
Of the northern heaven, the battle
shall be waged. 1t shall be conse-
Grated, and It's beginning pro
claimed, by blowing Of trumpets
and festive salute, but it shall be
q battle that does not exact blood
nor cost tears. Here where for
merry Syeas and Goths met and
were conciliated, united.
History herself has marked out a
fitting place for the great and
peaceful court that now assemblies
here; here the Swedish nation has
prepared to meet it's brethren who
dwell among the western noun
tains Of the Scandinavian peninsula
with their kin by the sound and
the shores Of the Belt, and also
with its neighbors beyond the
Baltic on the banks Of Dwina and
turns to friendly competition on
the field Of labor.

Gbont usurtous interest


A misrepresentation exists as to
the effect of the statute upon which
a portion Of tile decision of the
supreme court was based I'm thp
interest case in which an u,.il;,,n
was handed down last Nee&. I'll
case of usurious Interest the lender
IS not to be permitted to recover
more than the priacipal sum,
while the borrower, in addition to
paying the principal, must pay 10
per cent per annum to the school
fund. The lender loses nothing
but his interest, and the borrower,
IN lieu Of paying interest, must
pay 70 per cent. per annum TO the
schools. The statute requires tic
court to render judgment in this
manner III amy case brought before
1t on contract in which it is
shown that usurious interest has
been contracted for.
One Of the curious facts devel-
oped since the decision was handed
down relates 10 the loans made by
the state. The Statesman is adj
Yised that they ali contain the
provision declared to be illegal.
In this case the interest goes to
the state school fund, whereas a
forfeiture would go to the school
fund of the county. There is a
question about the effect upon
loans made by the state, but it is
interesting to note that the state
has violated its own law.-States-
man.

CMctaI statement.

The board OF regents Of the state
university has issued the following
statement concerning the disscn-
sions that have prevailed in corr
nection with the institutions:
Moscow, Idaho, June II, 1897
10 the people Of the state Of Idaho:
lnasmuch as statements detri-
mental to the government Of the
University of Idaho have been
widely circulated and such state
ments being injurious to the repu-
ton of the faculty, therefore we
deem it advisable to make the fol-
lowing statement:
The university was organized in
1892, since which time it has
had steady and healthy growth.
After taking into cor sideration
the conditions and surroundings,
and having examined its method
of work, we are of the opinion
that the university is a sue
cess. This success, is due, in
great measure, to the splendid
ability and untiring industry of
the respective members of the
faculty, anil TO none more than to
President Gault.
Upon the advent Of this board
We found ourselves confronted with
the lamentable condition of lack
Of harmony IN the faculty. Charges
were made against the president
and sundry members Of the faculty
such as pernicious political activ-
ity, incompetency, and charges
equally serious and dishonorable.
We have patiently and honestly
investigated the charges called to
our attention and found these
charges had no foundation in fact,
or were too trivial for notice.
For the past four years the
charge has been freely and FREE
quently made that the university
was being conducted on political
lines to advance the interests and
ambitions Of the late chief execu-
tive of the state and the party
then in power. We express 10
opinion as to the truth or falsity of
these statements. We simply de-
sire to state that our investiga
lions have failed to reveal any
sufficient evidence that any
schemes OF partianship were par
ticipated in by any member Of the
faculty. The University of Idaho
cannot be made a political ma
chine while we are in control.
In conclusion we wish to say to
the people Of Moscow situated in
your beautiful town you have
splendid institution Of learning;
that while it is the state univer-
sity, you, in its immediate vicinity
reap the greatest benefits from its
existence. It is equipped with
fine library, necessary scientific
apparatus, and conscientious,
industrious and competent faculty,
each member of which is striving
to make the institution better and
more useful to you and to the
state. It is an institution to which
any town or state may be Justly
proud; and this board, and tile
people of the state, hive right to
demand that you use every effort
to assist in the up.building Of the
institution and rot concentrate
your efforts in futile attempts TO
impair its usefulness or to destroy
its existence. You must not tx.
pect that the people of the state
will continue to bestow their bene
icence upon this institution if
YOU, in whose midst it is located
and who, for the present, mainly
receive its benefits, refuse to give !
i Your loyal support. The habit

New England Corn Festivals.
(WOman's Home COmpaniOn.)

wv 1OIIlpdIllOHj
At one of the corn festivals. given for
local charity in a New England city, a
day was allotted to the husking and the
Thanksgiving stories of Colonial days, and
was asked to present some account OF
ola nuskings and TO arrange some of the
old legends en- tableaux in the spirit and
coloring of the past. Ny mind turned to
settles, chimney corners, red ears of corn
pumpkins, great barns, and cribs, frosty
airs, and the full hunters moon. / can
seem to see those harvest seasons now as
| used to know them with their mellow
ing splendors and joyous farm life, and IL
Is always pleasure to repeat the husk-
ing tales as they come back to me- as
well as l can; but no one can tell them as
did the old-time natural story-tellers. To
one who lived on farm in his boyhood
the memory of the husking must ever be
a pleasing picture. How full of joyous
life those harvests were. The mellow
days of September passed, the cranberry
meadows grew red. the fringed gentians
doomed; the witchhazel Powered amid
the falling Of gold and russell leaves;
there was a cidery odor in the orchards
where the ground was covered with ap-
pies; the product of the corn-fields was
drawn away by oxen. and piled into a
heap, usually in some sheltered meadow.

In Hartford, Conn.,, recently, during the
performance of an oratorio, one of the
male soloists, after vainly endeavoring
to untwist his tongue sufficiently to per-
init his notes to be heard. wabbled off the
stage. The next morning the Hartford
Times, in a notice of the performance.
told in plain English what was the mat
ter with the soloist-in other words. It
said he was intoxicated. The offended
singer promptly brought suit against the
Times, claiming damages in the sum of
$4,000. On the trial many of the best
people in Hartford voluntarily came for
ward and supported the assertion of the
Times, and after a long and impartial in
vestigation the jury brought In a YER
dict generating the paper. The twelve
men, good and true. took the position that
the Times had, without malice, told the
truth; that the plaintiff had voluntarily
placed himself in a condition In which he
could not fulfil his contract with the pub
lie, and that the truth told under these
conditions was no libel

Secretary-o Wilson has
discovered that although this country
supplies the London market with more
than half Of its bacon, our farmers are
receiving less than half as much for their
product as the Canadian and Danish
producers do for theirs. Canadian and
Danish bacon brings from II to IA cents
per pound. and American bacon only
GA to s cents per pound. The trouble,
he says, is that American bacon is too
fat. Secretary Wilson argues that we
should have a streak of fat and a streaL
OF lean in our bacon.
The Canadian and Danish hog raisers
have studied the British market. The
result is, they sell bacon for nearly
double what we can get; and 1t costs
them great deal less to produce what
the Britisher wants than ii costs us TO
produce what he doesn't want The
trouble is that too much western and
too little southern bacon has been sen
to England. If our Virginia bacon could
once get foothold so to speak, in Eng.
land there would be as great a demand
for it there as there is now for our Able
marie pippins.

Two recentIy-pubiished reports on
adulteration are those OF the Pennsyi-
vania Department OF Agriculture and
the State Board of Health of Massachu-
setts. respectively The former body has
| discovered among other things tnat
many creamerics are using an emulsion
| OF cottonseed-oll. which. added to the
cream, increases the butter product per
| gallon of milk, with small chance OF de-
lection and a large increase Of profit.
The investigations OF the Massachusetts,
Board of Health embraced drugs as wen
as food. and the largest percentage OF
adulteration was found to be In drugs
5O.3 per cent.-milk being next with 3d.
per cent, as shown in 4,4s4 samples ex-
amined. In food In general. the per-
centage of adulteration was proved TO
be l1.6 per cent. In the adulteration OF
milk. a marked decrease from that be-
tween 1890 and 1895 was evidenced, the
Improvement being due to law re-
quiring that during the five months of
should constitute the milk standard.
The chief articles of food found to be
adulterated were olive-oil, lard, honey.
molasses, maple syrup and sugar,
and spices, especially cayenne vinegar,
coffee. cocoa, and cream OF tartar. The
drugs adulterated or below the
standard were ether, alcohol, ammonia
water, and chlorine water distilled
water, calx chlorata, extracts of leo
rice and nux vomica, powdered opium,
spirits Of ether, spirits of |
nitrous ether, whiskey, tincture of |
iodine, syrup, tincture Of opium, and |
nercurial ointment In red and white
vines considerable aduteration was
hown. and in many of the 'tonics" and
'bitters" advertised as Temperance
thinks" examination disclosed a percent
ge of alcohol varying from 1872 to 41.6.
What with the adulteration of the
Igents the physicians depend upon to

A National Quarantine,
Nashville Americanl

N4NdSHNllie AHleTlcdn.)
1t is said that bill to establish a ma
tional board Of health will be introduced
at the next session of Congress. 1t is
very desirable measure, and should be-
come law. 1t is the only means by
which the importation of epidemic dis
eases can be effectually prevented, and
would afford the best method of prevent
Ing the spread of such diseases after they
nave been introduced into this country.
The history of the present epidemic Of
yellow-fever now prevailing In the South
shows clearly the need of national con-
troll and regulation of the quarantine sys-
tenn. Such regulation would have prevent
ed the introduction of the fever In the
hrst instance. and probably would have
connned IL 10 the small town on the Mis-
sissippf coast where IL first appeared IL
II had escaped the watch by the sea.
There are several reasons why city and
state guarantees are not effective The
principal OF these is that they do not act
In the necessary concert; another is
that they are overridden by the CONNER
cial exigencles and jealousies of the com
they serve.
