Are the prisoners well cared for in
your opinion?"
Yes, they are well taken care of
and are certainly well fed. We regard
them in the same light as any citizen
who is accused of misdemeanor and
they will be given every chance to
prove their innocence. There is no dis
position to prosecute any one, as has
been claimed.
"Of course, at the beginning of the
arrests it was impossible to have con-,
veniences for the men, and they had to
undergo some hardships But this con-
dition could not be avoided at the time.
However, they were made comfortable
as soon as it could be done.

A SERIOUS LOSS.
A Rare Collection of b oks Destroyed by


Fire.
Rabbi Maurice Eisenberg sustained a
serious loss by fire yesterday, which
destroyed large portion of very val
liable library. DR.. Eisenherg lives in
the residence owned by Mrs. Joseph
Oppenheimer at S52 West Granite
street. He has a study on the second
floor in which is kept his library, coll
lection of books containing many rare
volumes, and for this reason the coll
lection had high value. The bookcase
stood close beside the stove in the
study. few weeks ago a leg of the
stove got broken and block of wood
was used to hold the stove up until re-
pairs could be made. Yesterday after
noon while Rabbi Eisenberg was alb
sent from his study the stove fell down.
1t had fire in it and fell Immediately
under the bookcase. which quickly
caught fire and the books were badly
damaged before the fire department, re-
spending to an alarm, could make the
long run out to Excelsior avenue. The
flames were extinghished with the
hand chemicals, but nearly half CT the
books were destroyed. The damage to
the building was only nominal. 1t is
difficult to estimate the loss on the
books in dollars and cents for the rea-
son some of the volumes cannot be re-
placed. and for this reason it would be
hard to fix their intrinsic value.
The department responded to the
alarm shortly after o'clock. In putting
out the fire some of the books smoul
dered a long time and Chief Sanger pro-
posed to dip in water, but Rabbi Eisen-
berg thought more of the print could be
saved by letting them die out. as the
water would do about as much dam
age as fire. and at his suggestion the
books in this condition We're placed in a
pile, he promising to watch them, and
the department withdrew. About an
hour later, while Rabbi Eisenberg's at
tention was engaged temporarily with
another matter. some persons happened
along and seeing smoke issuing from
where the books had been placed,
thought the fire had broken out anew.
Two persons ran for fire alarm box
at the same time. One pulled box As at
Broadway and Excelsior, and another
box Is at Quartz and Alabama. No. 45
came in first and the department re-
sponded. Immediately 45 ceased strik-
ing 2S came in, calling out the reserve.
The incident created considerable ex-
element down town, as it was feared
a big fire had broken out on the West
side. 1t turned out that both runs We're
useless.
This was the first fire to occur under
the regime of the new chief, Peter San
ger,

GETS THE WORST Of It
The Northern Pacific Schedule
Doesn't Please Butte.
EASTERN MAIL SERVICE
-Four Days From Chicago Instead of
Three - One OF the Trains May Be
Pulled Off - Steel Cars for
the B. & o.

The change in the train service,
which went into effect on the Northern
Pacific on Monday, gives Butte very
much the worst of it, especially in east
ern mail service. Mail which has al
ways reached Butte from Chicago and
ST. Louis on the third day does not ar
rive now until the fourth day. 1t looks
very much, however, as if another i'm
portant change would soon be made in
the schedules of both the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern The threat
of the latter road to put on an extra
through train is generally regarded as
a bluff and that it will result in the
Northern Pacific pulling off one of its
two trains, and the two roads enter
ing into an agreement for a more eco
nt r,:ical service and meeting the Ca
madam fast service by inaugurating
faster time on their roads. There is an
impression among railroad men that
the adoption of the fast transcontinen-
tai service by the northern lines is
unnecessary, when the amount of bust
ness done is taken into consideration.
The fact that five trains will make the
St Paul-Seattle run within 60 hours
gives reason for the prediction that one
of the three lines interested, or possibly
all, will find the competition disastrous.
The extra trains will be a great bene-
fit to the towns en- route, but it is
thought that the amount of local bust
ness has not yet developed to sufficient
volume to warrant the expense.
There has been much interest felt in
railroad circles concerning the new steel
cars recently ordered by the Baltimore
& Ohio and other roads and what would
happen if they were wrecked. Thomas
Anderson, master car builder of the
Pittsburg &; Western, has had several
interesting experiences lately and his re-
port is as follows:
zone of our trains of steel cars,
100,0 900 pounds capacity, was going up an
so to 90-foot grade, when 10 cars broke
off and ran away from the rear part
about 80 car lengths. Four more of
the steel hoppers ran back down this
grade, striking the rear part and dam

steel car No. 4211 left the track
known as our Negley Stone track, which
is about 10 to Is feet higher at the
point where car left track than our
main, line. Car went over the bank,
landing on main track and blocked the
road. Our superintendent happened to
be on board a passenger train which
came up behind this trouble, and clear
ed the track by the use of engine and
chains. This car was under load of
900 pounds of crushed stone. The
sides were crushed in about Is incnes,
bending all the side stakes on each SIDE
of the car and breaking four journal
boxes, one brake shaft, two hand holds,
one winding shaft bent drop door at
tachment bent, brake levers and guides
torn off truck channel bent and brake
beams torn off. The pressed steel
truck under this car was subjected to
great deal of rough usage in getting
main track cleared as ii would be rea-
sonably supposed that the body of car
received some very rough handling to
avoid delay to trains. ] supposed that
! would have to remove all side stakes
on account of their bent condition. but,
fortunately, we made a good job by
using hydraulic jacks and hammering
on stakes until wo got the side straight
ened. The material required amounted
TO sS.37; labor, $1,000; total, s3S.97.
Il might also add, which is very i'm
portant, that if a train Of wooden cars
had been subjected to the punishment
that the No. 4001 was subjected there
would have been nothing left but the
scrap. In this case this car was the
only car damaged in the train. it being
so solid, substantially built, etc, that
all other cars behind it were protected.
A wooden car would not have stood the
punishment that No. 4211 went through
under such heavy load"
The people of Aberdeen and Pierre
are anxious for an extension of the
Great Northern to the Missouri river
and on to the Black Hills, and dele
cation is expected here soon to confer
with President Hill, says the Pioneer
Press. 1t is doubtful, however, If he
will give the plan any consideration at
present, as he has plans for other i'm
provements that will occupy his atten-
ton for some time. He has entered
upon policy of developing that portion
of the Great Northern system which
offers the greatest revenue, and the
building Of new lines in South Dakota
would certainly not justify these reso-
buttons.

RUBBER FROM CORN OIL AGAIN.
Not on the Market Yet But 1t Is Com
From Electricity.

From Electricity.
The brief notices in the technical papers
referring to the possibility of utilizing the
refuse material of the glucose factories,
amounting to about per cent of the raw
material, have recently been supplement-
ed by an interesting communication on the
subject in the Chicago Times says a con-
tributor TO the Journal of the Franklin In
stiute, purporting to give an account of
experiments that have been secretly con-
Quoted IN that city for the past year by
the chemists Of large glucose company.
According TO the writer of the article in
question, the process of manufacture is
now so far perfected that the product may
within a few months, be ready for the
market
The following details will be Of interest;
Corn rubber has almost exactly the ap-
pearance of the ordinary reddish-brown in
dia rubber. The process of manufacture
ing is not perfect enough however, 10
make II resist heat as well as india ruo-
Der. This has offered the greatest diff
culties to the chemists, who are now work.
ing to remedy this defect. The oil of corn,
from which principally the rubber is made
by some secret process, does not oxidize
readily, and those who are working on the
corn rubber declare this will be an enor-
nous advantage for the new product. Ar
ticles manufactured from il will always re-
main pliable and not crack Contrary to
reports, this new product has not yet been
put on the market. IL is intended to go on
with experiments till the success of the
new substance is assured and then TO go
into It's manufacture on an immense scale.
The corn oil from which the rubber is
made comes from the germ of the corn,
and not from the hull. The starchy and
glutinous portions of the kernel are used
In making glucose and starch while the
corn oil, heretofore, according to the re-
finers has been practically useless The
five refneries of the trust have used d.
00),0O0 bushels of corn in the last ten
months, of which about per cent. was
refuse. Though forty different products
are made by the company, still per cent.
was practically waste. BY utilizing this
waste material in making the new product
1t is calculated that corn rubber can be
sold at cents pound, { cents of which
will be clear profit. The corn rubber, IL is
said will be adapted to nearly ali the uses
that ordinary rubber is capable-from BIZ
cycle tires to linoleum. The more refined
uses to which the rubber is put, however,
will still be closed field for the compo-
sition of corn rubber will prevent its sub
stituuon for india rubber for scientific
uses.
The article proceeds to state that the
new product may be advantageously mix
ed with Para rubber, producing a cheaper
article of substantially the same quality
for ordinary service as the genuine rub
