TERROR TO THE MURDERER.
Testimony In Poisoning Cases
That Cannot Err.

That prisoner who has Ia face q
charge Of murder by poison has no
witness against him Who isfso much
TO be dreaded as the analytical chem
ist. In many eases the life OF death OF
the prisoner has depended upon a sim.
pie experiment in the laboratory OF
the chemist, One method OF tracing
poison is TO transform the suspected
deposits into crystals and submit
them To the powerful scrutiny of the
microscopes But that. test is success
ful only where comparatively large
doses of poison have been given. In
another form OF test the grave issue
depends upon the color ota fragment
of eopperfoil or the hues of liquid
in a diminutive crystal globe. When
arsenic is suspected to bethe cause OF
death the copperfoil experiment is
tried. If the result is a dead hlark de.
posit the case looks equally blaek for
the prisoner, says the New York
Press.
Strychnine, when administered in a
most minute form, is detected by a
subtle process of chemical coneentra.

fluids are reduced to single drop
which is placed in a tiny glass globe
Into this is then dropped aminnte par
ticle of potash Ifstiych'
nine is present the result is display
of changing colors-blue, purple, red
and. lastly,a rich mauye lint. TIL Ase
colors are pretty to look at, but they
may mean death for the suspected
criminal. When opium is suspected tc
be the cause of death the fluids are
chemically cleansed and then reduced
to drop or two. Nitric acid is first
applied and II the morphia is pres mi
it is revealed by the drops changing tc
lovely carmine hue Then, If sulpho
molybdic acid is applied the drops
change first TO a brilliant magenta
color and then to a sky blue.
In spite of all the care and knowl.
edge devoted to chemical analysis In
criminal cases mistakes sometimes are
made. On one occasional famous an.
alyst-Prof. Tyler-was nearly the un.
cent man to the gallows. The profess
sor, after careful experiments, de-
clared that arsenic had been the cause
of death with which the prisoner was
charged. The prosecution proved thai
the prisoner was the only man who
possibly could have administered thu
poison. The man pleaded his limo
cence in the most frank and pitiabll
way, but the evidence was agains
him. He was sentenced To death, ant
the day of his execution was approach
ing when Prof. Tyler received let
| ter from the condemned one settin,
| forth his side of the case in such
forcible manner that the professo
was induced to reconsider his analy
sis and make another examination
He found, to his amazement, that tn
arsenic which he had discovered ha,
been placed in the fluids by himself il

He at once confessed his blunder AM
the condemned man was saved from
the gallows. The difficulties of chem

CLAIM TO OWN THE EAGLES.
Assert Ownership In Nests of
the Birds.

Among the Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico and Arizona there is "A property
right in eagles. Each clan claims own
ership in several eagle nests which
may or may not be near the place
where the clan lives. When the nests
are distant from the villages where
the Indians claiming themslive il has
been found thatthe ancestors of these
Indians came in former years from
the localities where the nests now
are, and they point to the fact
that these nests are theirs as proof
that they also, by inheritance, own
the land round about them. Driven
into new locations by marauding
Nayajos and Utes, these Pueblo Indi-
ans have steadily contracted their oc-
cupied territory, but they still visit
the old nests, as their forefathers Wis
tied them before the white man came
to Mexico. Some of the Pueblo Indi-
ans, the Ennis, for instance. keep
eagles in cages and treat then, as do
mestic fowls, but the most of the
tribes procure their eagles by taking
the young from the ancestral nests.
These Indians keep turkeys also, but
neither turkeys nor eagles are kept
for food. With the feathers of the
birds the Indian decorates himself
and his prayer sticks" on occasions of
religious ceremony. The various
tribes respect one another's property
rights in certain nests and the birds
which are hatched in them and a
heavy punishment is provided for an
Indian killing any eagle not his own,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
+, Sometimes the nests are 80 miles
from where the tribe lives, but investi-
CATION always shows that the tribe
lived once where the nest is. Genera
tions without number the eagle builds
his nest in the same spot and rears his
young there. So the title of the Pueb-
los reaches back to the twilight of
American history. Those Pueblo In
dians speak of their eagles as they do
of their sheep, their dogs or their
horses. Though the king of birds may
be flying half a hundred miles from
the Indians abode yet it is the Indi-
ans eagle.
When an Indian visits one of his
nests to secure bird he does not take
all the young, but leaves some, so that
the breed may be perpetuated. Re
turning home with his eaglet, he strips
1t of its feathers and kills it. The body
of the eagle is not thrown on the rub
bish heap, but is buried in special
eagle burying ground. The ancient
Pueblo Indians used to keep parrots
as domestic birds, probably only for
their feathers, which were used in dec
orations for religious services. These
parrots they obtained by barter with
the Mexicans to the south of them.
It is known that the Aztecs kept va
riety of birds as domestic fowls and
used them for food, as well as eating
their eggs, but the Pueblo Indians
seem to have kept their domestic birds
for their feathers solely.

Telephoue Extemn,one,


The prospects are bright for telephone
connections between Kimball and Gam
valley. Stock subscriptions to the
amount Of 500 have already been sub
scribed at Gannvalley for this purpose,
and a meeting il to be held there Satur-
day to perfect an organization. Messrs.
George and Potter, superintendent and
general manager OF the Western Electric
Telepone system, we're at Gannyalley a
couple Of weeks ago, and made two pro.
positions to the Gannyalley people. One
was that they subscribe for 500 worth
OF coupons. good for service over their
lines, and the other was that If the Buff
falo county people would construct their
own line, the company would connect
the line with Kimball. This latter pro-
position struck the Gannvalley people
the most favorable. and they are going
ahead oa-that proposal.
Another proposed extension is from
Platte TO Chamberlain By the Missouri
River Telephone company. "a line is al
ready running from Platte to Bonessael.

Misleading Creamery statement.
We find the appended item in the Yves
siDRt0n Springs R%epablican:

6lngJ0n springs Republican,:
The creamery pays Its patrons for Feb
ruary IL cents for butter. This being
the first February the plant ever run,
and operating two skimming stations
with a light patronage for the amount
of expense necessary to run the entire 4
plant, is not 80 bad a showing, being AZ
to 5 cents more than the stores are pay
ing for butter.
This statement, as it reads. is slightly
misleading, unless we are very much
mistaken. What was doubtlessIy In
tended was "butter- fat" not "putter."
Our impression is that the washington
Springs creamery pays so much a pound
for butterfat instead of so much per hun
drsd of milk. 1t is common for news
papers to take the word "butter-fat" as
meaning butter and compare the price
paid for butter-fat with the market price
Of butter-as tho Republican has done in
this instance. The creameries are pay
ing we'll enough without doing this. and
1T never pays to deceive the public mad
yertently or intentionally.
Assuming that the Washington Springs
creamery paid its patrons II cents for
butterfat-which we think our friend
Bancroft OF that excellent newspaper
will find was the fact in the case-tt
would have paid its patrons about Ii sc
cents for each pound of butter produced
from their milk. This on the SUPPOSE
ton that the average test wa 4 per cent
about the average test at this time OF
year. From every 400 pounds Of milk
testing 4 per cent of butter-fat-which
is 4 pounds Of butter-fat to the hundred
Of milk-the creamery makes an average
Of AGO pounds OF butter, the "oyerrun"
running from 10 to 90 per cent. This
increase comes from the water, salt and
casino which Is added in course of cream
ripening, churning and working the
raw product into butter. So it will be
seen that a creamery which pays q pat
ron $17 for 100 pounds Of butter-fat is
practically paying him for lis pounds Of
butter, which, as stated, Is about IL sc
cents per pound.
Tho GRAPHIC has called attention to
this misleading way Of making cream
cry statements once or twice before.
They arise from q lack of a technical
knowledge OF the process Of manufacture
though often times buttermakers and
secretaries are not averse to letting the
newspaper innocently deceive patrons
and public alike.
