VICTORY FOR THE STATE
Legal Phases of the Cases Against
the C9ur d 'Alene Defendants.
IT'S A STUBBORN BATTLE
The Defense Contests Every Point, but
So Far the Court Has Ruled in Fa-
vor OF the Contentious of
the Prosecution.

Wallace, Idaho, June ga special
train conveying Ill Missourians from
Joplin reached the Standard mine last
night. Everything was orderly when
they reached the mine and no demon
stration occurred. Deputies went to
the mine to-day to issue permits.
The defense to-day moved to quash
indictments on the ground that ]. H.
Forney had no right to be present while
the witnesses were being examined by
the grand jury; that Acting Sheriff
France was an extreme partisan, draw
ing grand jurors all of whom were
prejudiced against the defendants
The objection to Forney was that he
was not resident of the county and
that he received reward other than
that allowed by statutes.
The attorneys spent three hours this
afternoon arguing motions offered by
the defense to set aside and to quash
the indictments. The defense disputed
the right of Acting Sheriff France to
summon grand jury, as being dis
qualified on account of his connection
with the Bunker Hill company, preju-
diced against the prisoners at the bar,
and also that under the Idaho statutes
grand jury could only be drawn from
the regular jury panel, the amendments
passed by the last legislature making
that the only legal method of drawing
grand juries. The court held that the
amendment only applied to the method
of drawing jurors from the panel and
not to the method of summoning by
special venire. The state argued that
when the grand Jury was called de-
PENDANTS were in court.
Counsel Reddy then announced that
he was through, but declined to chal-
lenge either the panel or individual
jurors. and by such neglect lost all
right to challenge the latter. An affi-
davit was filed and a motion to set
aside was offered at the last minute by
the defense as an additional reason for
granting the motion to quash. The
state announced that it might wish to
offer counters ffidavits. SO the matter
was continued until this morning and
the court overruled the motion to set
aside. This was a victory for the state
in every point decided to-day. The de-
Tense will file demurrers tomorrow.

Finally Paid For the Glass.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Nothing is more incomprehensible to
European walters than the American
custom of breaking eggs in glass.
Chauncey M. Depew likes to follow
the American custom, and one day.
says a writer in the New York Herald,
the waiter at the Hotel de Russie in
Paris, told him he mustn't do it. There
was a dispute, and the head waiter
was called. THE glasses cannot be
properly washed afterward,' it was
explained. "They are ruined
Nonsense" said Mr. Depew, my
servants at home do it every day in
the year Use a little more elbow
grease"
Then Mr. Depew broke his eggs into
the glass, as usual, and the waller
watched him. When the glass was
set aside. he came with a dust pan,
cracked the glass on his boot heel and
disappeared with the fragments. The
charge for the glass was on Mr.. De-
pew's bill, and he refused 10 pay IT.
He was too good customer to make
angry. so the hotel people smiled They
knew that Mrs. Depew was going to
remain week longer. A broken egg
glass was ingeniously worked into her
bill and she paid for it, but Mr.. De-
pew didn't know it for many months
afterward, when he was telling the
story as an instance of his success in
counteracting the extortions of Euro
pean hotel keepers.

NEW JERSEY. FARM LAND
1t Has Deprecated SO Per Cent.
Within the Past 25 Years.
AND WAGES ARE HIGHER
A Witness Before the Industrial Com
mission Who Advocates High Tar
III on All Farm Products as the
Solution OF the Problem

Washington, June 2S.-Richard Coles,
a resident of Salem county, New Jersey,
was before the Industrial commission
to-day. He said the farmers of New
Jersey had no especial complaint, al
though there was a general feeling that
conditions might be improved. Prices
for their products were generally
lower. while wages for farm hands
We're higher than formerly. Within the
past rs years farms in his section had
deprecated in value about 50 per cent.
The depreciation in the price Of pro-
ducts was not so great He was in
clined to attribute the lower prices to
competition from the West and South.
He advocated tariff on farm products.

manufacturers. This policy would, re
suit in saving to the United States
about $500, 600, 900 or $500, 600 600 now sent
abroad for articles of an agricultural
nature.
One of the hardships with which
many farmers had had to contend with
for the past quarter of century was
the decline in prices of farm lands. He
thought the best agricultural lands in
the West had been located and the in
crease in production in that section
would not be SO rapid in the future as
1T had been in the past. As a conse-
quenee, the increase in population
would soon make good the difference.

DUN'S REPORT.
The South African Uncertainty Causing
Disturbance in Europe.

New York, July 23.-R. G. Dunn & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say to-mor-
row: The outgo of more gold this week,
$4,000 900 so far reported, makes it clear
that Europe is in need The French min
isterial crisis has been grave and pro-
longed the collapse of German specula-
ton in industrial stocks threatens some
trouble, but perhaps the South African
uncertainty causes the most disturbance.
Whatever the cause is, Europe needs
money, and cannot claim its own from the
West this year, but must borrow.
Exchange and trade balances show that
this country is not called upon to pay.
but the money is worth more to lenders
abroad than it is here. Home finances are
most satisfactory. Revenue falls behind
expenditures for the fiscal year less than
$100, 900 coo, and but for $3.50, 600, 900 war ex-
penSes, including payment for the Philip
pine debts and for Cuban soldiers the
revenue exclusive of that from the war
taxes exceeds ordinary expenses.
Trade balances. in spite of exports from
New York, 10 per cent less than last year,
and imports 26 per cent. greater, still
premise a large exchange of exports for
June. Nor is there and substance in the
idea that large foreign sales of securities
are moving.
The best evidence obtainable shows that
in January and February about SS,250,000
worth of securities came to this side and
since February no more than $4000.000 in
excess of shipments In character trans
actions have been of the trading, and not
of the investment sort. Stocks here have
weakened, but almost exclusively in the
industrials, which foreigners do not touch,

age this week. while railroad stocks have
averaged decline of only 20 cents per
share.

The Gushing Girl.

I'm glad" said small boy after wit
Messing his sisters leave-taking with q.
friend, that / am not girl They're all
skirts, hairpns and gush.'
Now, a girl sometimes condemns the
skirts and hairpins but does she ever con-
denim the gushing habit she and her
schoolmates cultivate?
Does she understand that what they call
enthusiasm other people iable-like the
small boy-"gush,' says the New York
Herald.
1t is so easy to drift into an extravagant
way of talking. Adjectives and adverbs
that hover on the lip of a girls tongue
are recklessly scattered about in her con-
versation until the charitable among her
listeners call her a 'gusher' and the
harsher critics an "exaggerator."
Don't gush, girls. Lop off here and
there the highly colored expression, the bit
of slang, no matter how helpful it seems
to be in piecing out your meaning, until
you have welded from your conversation
little tricks of talking that make sensible
people doubt your sincerity.
There's nothing sweeter in a girl than
sincerity of thought, sincerity of purpose
and sincerity of expression. Nobody will
credit you with these as long as you in
dulge in the gushing habit.

JOE WALcOTT THE WINNER
The Colored Man Given the De,
cision Over Dan Cresdon.
TWENTY FIERCE ROUNDS
Creeden Fought Cleverly, but His Blows
Lacked Steam = Waicott Did the
Business With His Left Jabs
That Were Highly Effective.

New York, June 23.-Joe Wa1cott .ba
coiored welterweight boxer, was given
the decision over Dan Creedon, the
Australian middleweight,. at the end Of
a hard-fought 20-round bout before the
New Broadway Athletic club tonight.
Johnny White was the referee.
In the opening round, Ereedon led a
straight left, landing on the head and
sent 1t back to the body. Walcott
hooked his left to the chin. A right
from Walcott put Dams eye in mourn
ing.
Walcott opened the second round
with left hook to the eye Dan shoot
ing his right to the body, following
with short left to the face. Walcotts
left hooks to the jaw and right to the
body kept Dan moving around the ring
Walcott came out strong in the third
round and drove his left straight to the
mouth, but was blocked cleverly when
ne tried his right for the body Wal
cott kept pummeling his opponent re-
celVlng occasional counters which did
not seem to have any effect upon him.
In the sixth round, a left smash from
Walcott sent the blood squirting from
Creedon's right eve, and after Dan re-
ceived a right and left on the body he
looked very tired. He came up in the
next round looking strong Walcott
sent succession of left jabs to Dams
face, much to Creedons discontinue.
and from this round to the finish had 1T
all his own way. Dan made a wonder
full rally in the 18th, sending his right
over three times to the negros head
In the 18th Walcott slipped to his knees
in a rush. He was on his feet in sec

The 18th round found Walcott forcing
Dan all over the ring with lefts to the
body and rights to the head. Dan
fought back desperately. but his elbows
lacked steam. When they shook hands
for the wind-up, Walcott rushed and
tried to land a decisive blow, but Cree

Paul Jones Wreckape.

New Orleans, La, June 22.-Captain
M. P. Doulett, of the steamer Indepen-
dence, has brought to this city a piece
of the wreck of the naphtha launch
Paul Jones' lost in the gulf last Jan
uary, which throws still more mystery
on that disaster. The Paul Jones was
thought to have been destroyed by the
explosion of her naptha tank, which
would account for her complete de-
struction and sudden loss with all on
board. This is now shown to have
been totally erroneous theory for the
naptha tank was discovered by Captain
Doulett intact and uninjured and still
three-fouTth full at Grand Grazer
island, near Breton island, where the
wreck was supposed to have occurred.
The tank was brought to the city.
Some IL feet of the launch was still ad-
herring to it and seemed to have been
cut off, indicating that the vessel was
run down in a collision. On the other
hand, the accident occurred where no
large vessels go and a collision was
well nigh impossible. The remainder
of the wreck will be brought to New
Orleans from Grand Gazier on the next
trip of the Independence.

They Are Discouraged.

1 Seattle, Wash, June 23.-The second
big lot of returning klondi1ers since
navigation opened reached here this
afternoon on the steamer Humboldt.
There was about $50 of them and a few
of them brought considerable gold dust
Others were reported to have drafts for
largs amounts, while others came home
without riches.
No accurate estimate of the amount
of gold dust can be made, for the rea-
son that the figures given by the differ
ent passengers vary widely, ranging all
the way from $25O000 to half a million.
Still more diverging are are conjectures
as to the amount of drafts. Including
drafts and such the estimates range
from half a million to one million and a
quarter
Purser Carroll claims that he had in
his custody 900 in dust and esti-
mates that there was about $780, 900
more in the different staterooms not
turned over to him.
At o'clock this afternoon S150,000
worth of dust had been deposited in the

The estimates of the total cleanup
this season range from ~ to 16 millions.
Times are said to be very hard in Daw-
