Bad for Richard.

Yesterdays Statesman chronicles
the misfortune of Richard Cunning
ham, until recently an attorney of this
place. as follows:
"Richard Cunningham of Silver City,
yesterday filed in the federal court a
petition in voluntary bankruptcy 1t
shows liabilities of $4,000 with assets of
$500.
"Mr. Cunningham is victim of the
private surety nuisance. Fifteen years
ago he signed bond on appeal for a
neighbor in Nebraska. Judgment on
appeal went against his neighbor, but
it was not collected and eventually
could not be collected.
"After some years, suit was brought
against the bondsmen and Judgment
secured. In the meantime MIR. Gun
ningham had removed to Idaho. All
the other bondsmen as we'll as the
principal in the original proceeding
had become bonkrupt. Mr.. Cunning
ham prospered here and this fact be-
came known to the people who held
the original judgment
"Suit was then brought against Mr.
Cunningham in the Idaho courts on
the Nebraska judgment, by Henry Le-
man, receiver for the firm of Wauzer &
Co, and the unfortunate indorser now
finds himself called upon to pay the
entire judgment, with interest and
costs, amounting to about s600O."

Food Authorizations. A

According to a report made to the
state department, DIR. H. Matthes, di-
rector of the bureau office for examin-
ing foods of the University OF Jena,
has published a statement relating to
the articles most frequently adulter-
ated. According to this statement,
$40 samples were examined in 1908
and 1869 in 1904. This number did
not include 116 samples of milk, which
were found to contain very high per
centage of dirt
1t was found that apricots contained
sulphurous acid; effervescent lemon
AIDES did not contain a trace of pure
fruit juices; butter contained too little
fat and too much water; so-called bak
ing powder consisted of oleomargar
inc; egg noodles contained no yolk OF
eggs, or at least very small quantities;
huckleberry juice was spoiled com
pletely; raspberry juice was greatly
diluted, and some samples contained
glucose and coal-tar dyestuffs; mince
meat contained sulphurous acid;
ground mace contained flour, ground
toasted bread, Bombay mace and nut
meg; marmalades were mixed glu
cose and colored with coal-tar dyes;
milk was watered, skinned and Otter
very dirty; pepper contained lime
sand and a good deal of the shell;
sausages contained flour, boracic acid
and coloring matter; preserving salts
contained sulphurOus, boracic, flouriC
and benzoic acids, etc.
The report complains of the indif
ference shown by the masses regard
ing purity and reliability of articles
of food, and the custom which prevails
in large cities of having the examina
tions of such articles made by persons
not experts.

Sinners of Declaration.

They were all aware of the danger
that might result from their action,
but were proud to meet it. They de-
serve the great honor from each sue
ceeding generation, and the Fourth of
July is a good time to express it, says
the Washington Star.
They were all young men-compara-
tively-their ages averaging 4S years
and months. Edward Rutledge, of
South Carolina. was the youngest, 27
years, while Benjamin Franklin was
the oldest, 70 years. The occupations
they represented were: Doctors, g.;
lawyers, 80; farmers, Z; merchants
and mechanics, 2; surveyor, 1 shoe
maker, l. and printer (FrankIin), l.
Some one suggested to Charles Car
roll that as there were a great many
men of that name. if the cause should
fail, England would not know what
one to arrest. Yes, they will" and
Immediately wrote "Of Carrollton" af-
ter his name.
AS the paper was being signed John
Hancock said: I'VE must all hang

'Ay," answered Ben Franklin. 1--WE
must all hang together, else we shall
all hang separately"

that Charles E. Share had sold his

such kindly and pleasant people, but

adding word to what was then said.

ing to silver took the stage at Nampa,

Thousand people, travelling between
Boise and Winnemueca, enjoyed meals
OF that station aud pleasant greetings
from Mr.. and Mrs. Charley Sharel But
we have all grown older now. and that
station has grown from mere road
house and stage barn. under the skill
aud good taste of thirty years improve
ments made by this worthy couple aud
their boys and girls, has grown to be q
fruitful and beautiful mountain-foot-
hill ranch.
We are glad, now that the boys are
all grown and rustling for themselves
and the girls happily married, that the
'old folks" have the means to live in
comfort for the remainder of their
days. They have toiled together most
induscriously and it is to be hoped
peace, comfort aud happiness may be
theirs during the evening of their lives.

It is the common opinion that for

is severer penalty than for striking
him under similar circumstances when
he Is not wearing glasses. Careful

any statutory provision which declares
the offense greater when the man who

the probab ility. of the Judge in such
cases giving the convicted the extreme
penalty. The legal term for assault I'M

way or another deprived his victim Of
the power of defending himself.
During an alteration from which a
struggle Is apt to ensue any one wear

them, unobserved If possible, however,
because II noticed 1t might act as a
signal to begin hastilities.
Many think that glasses would be a
source Of general protection in these
cases and often take advantage on that
ground, but this lis wrong. because no
court would holdait worse to strike a
man with glasses than one without
unless the assailant struck directly at
his opponents eyes, with the intent to
wound or MAIN him, and whether one
were hit elsewhere than on the eye
glasses would not enter the case at all.

The story caused a great deal of adj

Owens and Kane made affidavit that
there was no truth in the story either
as ttos the alleged tipping" nor, so

breach of confidence. Upon the
strength of these affidavits they were
released from suspension yesterday.
