st. Louis, April 13.--Judges O'Neill
Ryan and Douglas, sitting en- banc in
division nine of the circuit court, Sat-

ing the decision, Judge Ryan said:
"The court is fairly well convinced,
and l speak against for both members
of the divisions, that others besides
these defendants are DESTROYS that
developments in these cases should
not be made public. Reason strongly
impels us to use all the power of the
court to require them to give such
bond as will not only insure their at
tendance on their own account, but
will lessen the temptation to others
to have them leave this jurisdiction
The increased bonds are as fol-
lows: Henry Nicolaus, bribery, from
$4,000 to $4,000; R. NJ. Snyder. bri-
berry, $4,000 to $4,000; Edward But

Chicago Tribune, and with the sunlight of

the plate glass front Of a bird store? AS
a matter of fact, no other window, all the
year round, is half so popular. Leaving out
the muscle developer, with a bare-armed
