HELD FOR THE DISTRICT COURT.
Counsel for Edwards and Earles Unable
to Secure Their Release.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.
Helena, May 31-United States Com
missioner Russell to-day listened to the
evidence and arguments presented at
the preliminary hearing of John 5.
Earies and Edwin Edwards, who were
rearrested yesterday on a warrant
charging them with delaying mail
train in the Occur d Alenes and con-
spiracy to delay, after Judge Knowles
had ordered them discharged. Assist
ant District Attorney English appeared
for the government and Peter Breen
and Alex Mackel for the accused.
The hearing occupied several hours.
and at its conclusion the commission
er announced that he would hold the
men to the district court of Idaho.
The transcript of the evidence adduced
at the former hearing before Commits
sioner Wood of Butte was read to the
commissioner and both Of the accused
We're permitted to testify. Both sides
presented arguments pro and con.
In making his decision the commits
sioner said that among the points rails
ed by counsel for the accused was that
the indictment was not sufficient. lie
held it was beyound his province to
pass upon the indictment that had
simply been introduced to show that
a regularly impaneled grand jury of
the United States district court of
Idaho had found good grounds to hold
them guilty of delaying the mails and
conspiring to delay them. The accus-
eds counsel also claimed that the oral
evidence of the accused was stronger
than the prima facie evidence of the
indictment, but the commissioner said
he did not consider their unsupported
evidence consisting chiefly of denials,
sufficient to overcome the presumption
in favor of the indictment. Two other
points relied upon by the accused were
the lack of identification and the ques-
ton of an alibi. The commissioner
said that he considered the identifica-
ton complete, by their own sworn teS
timony, and that the alibi was not
proved, as the testimony showed that
the stolen train had been taken possess
sion of at Burke, where they We're, and
the physical impossibility in their hav
ing been seen at Burke during the aft
ernoon of April % and yet of having
taken the train and being able to re-
turn to Mace by evening. He said the
defendants had been given the benefit
as to any doubts whether the indict
ment was not conclusive in itself. and
their testimony was taken for what it
was worth as against the Indictment
considered only as prma facie.
The commissioner made the bail in
each case the same as Commissioner
Wood had, $1,000 No effort so far as
known, was made to obtain bail, and
the men were returned to the county
jail 1t is not believed the mems coun-
sci will take any further steps until
Knowles for another warrant of re-
moval, which will probably be next
Monday. This will be resisted. Fail
ing to prevent the courts making the
order habeas corpus proceedings will
probably be invoked.

The Hat-OR Habit,

Besides the houseful of untidy heads
that the hats-off habit at the theater
mas engendered, there is another re-
suit of the proctice almost as unfor-
tunate. From removing her hat at the
theater, a woman wants to remove it
at all times. This has nothing to do
with the summer practice of going
bareheaded; it is a winter tendency
and 1t manlfests itself in various ways
ana upon various occasions. A woman
finds her hat burden while shopping
IN travelling, no matter how short her
trip she has the longing to lay it aside,
and often does so AT concerts and lee
lures, where there is no spectacular
necessary for removing bonnets. she
finds herself instinctively taking out
her hair pins. Church and wOmen's
club meetings are, in fact, the only
places where the tendency has not yet
shown itself to marked degree, and
at the former it is already recon-
mended. while at the latter the fact
that such a proceeding would strike at
the very roots of the club institution,
must be accounted as the true and only
reason for the omission Women find
themselves on the lookout for two at
tributes in a new hat-lightness and
an unnamable attribute requiring no
mirror in the putting on and taking
off of the article. All of which may be
a blessing and may be not; it Is, how
ever, logical.

UNIVERSITY FIELD DAY.,
Tennis. Croquet and Ball Game Be
tween Faculty and Students.

tween Faculty and Students.
MissOula, May 31.-One very import
ant event of commencement week has
been given but little notice as yet, but
announcement is now made that this
event will far eclipse all the others.
This is field day which is down for
Tuesday, June g. on the programme.
The regular field day events viii not
take place, owing to the fact that the
grounds are not ready, but instead
there will be a tennis match between
Professors Elrod and Wells VS.. Kennett
and Ward in doubles, three sets. Then
the ladies will do their part in a match
contest between Professors Reilly and
Knowles VS.. Misses Hathaway and Nc
Cracker a crOquet. Finally the event
of the day will be called in a game of
baseball between the faculty and the
students. 1t is said the students were
the challenging body, but there is no
doubt but they will regret their hasty
action, for the dignitied professors will
throw their dignity to the winds and
put on their batting clothes. 1t is well
known that amongst their number are
several eX-cracks who were famous in
their day for base-si6ng and batting.
The personnel of the teams will be an
nOunCed later. but already a safe and
desperate umpire has been selected.
Everyone should look out for some sci
entitiC baseball on next Tuesday.

HOW PADDY COMMITS SUICIDE.
An Old Police Seargeant's Observation
on the Weather and Its Effects.

on the Weather and Its Effects.
''Good suicide weather. the grzZled
old sergeant behind the desk of one of
the New York police stations observed
as he glanced out at the dull, over
whelming clouds from which the rain
sifted down in a never-ending drizZle.
"A good day for suicides over here"
he continued, musingly. IF a German
is going to kill himself he waits for just
such a day as this. Even if he don't
intend to kill himself, three or four days
like this will soon drive him to it.
Well be apt to have three or four cases
reported before roll call.
Now, it's different with a French
man. When German feels blue it
makes him all the bluer if the weather's
bad But a Frenchman, when he is
crossed in love or has gone broke,
thinks the weather is sympathizing
with him if it rains when he is feeling
badly. When he makes up his mind
to commit suicide he'll invariably carry
out his intention on a sunshiny day.
The worlds brightness seems only to
mock him.
And what about the Irishman, ser
geant?" asked the new policeman.
Look here, young man" said the
sergeant, with just a suggestion of
Limerick in his tone. 'Irishmen don't
commit suicide. When an Irshman
gets broke and blue he don't kill him
self Not much! He goes and beats
somebody or gets beaten himself or
failing in both instances, goes home
and beats his wife"

Pensions and Disabilities,

From the Chicago Record.
1t seems very queer that man who
has been examined by a medical board
of the pension office and found suffi-
GENTLY disabled to entitle him to pen
sion should go a few blocks west to the
war department and be reported physi-
cally sound by a military medical
board, and then after the war. go back
to the pension office for re-eXaminatiOn
and get another report of total phySi-
cal disability. The fact that the army
medical board has declared a man
sound has no weight With the pension
medical boards. and vice versa When
pensioner enlisted in the army he had
to forfeit his pension, and now, when
he is mustered out. it is granted him
again. These cases are occurring ev-
cry day, and simply illustrate the
weakness in the pension bureau.
