GOLD SURGICAL
INSTRUMENTS

A process of tempering gold, sill
yer, and copper has been discovered
by Mr.. z. F. Vaughn, of Los An
geles, California. BY his method
of tempering, it is claimed that the
ductile metals are not only harden
ed, but their density and homogen-
city are brought to such practical
perfection that a cutting edge is
given keneer and more durable than
that of steel, because of the micro
scopic fineness and smoothness i'm
parted to it.
The inventors experiments were
devoted chiefly to the manufacture
of surgical instruments of gold, his
first production being hypodermic
needle of solid tempered gold. He
has added to this all of the instru-
ments now in use in modern sur
gerry.
Prominent surgeons have given
these instruments practical tests
and in every case the results, it is
said, were entirely satisfactory.
For surgical purposes, the inventor
claims that instruments of tempered
gold are superior to those of steel,
because of their non-corrosivcness
and the ease with which they may
be sterilized. The antitoxin needle
is about two inches long and the
needle for spinal anaesthesia is
about three inches long. There is
no clogging; consequently it is not
necessary to use wire. The needles
are easy of introduction, the largest
size passing through the tissue more
readily than the smallest steel
needle. AS the needle is entirely
aseptic, it leaves no mark. AL
wearing surfaces are solid gold anc
may be either "a karat or any de-
gree of alloy. The secret of the
4 process appears to be in the solution
used in tempering.
The inventor states that tempered
copper is not subject to that crystal
lization through vibration which
limits the life of steel; that springs
of tempered copper have not only a
great elasticity and strength as stee
springs, but that owing to the ex
IRENE s1owness of the process o
capitalization, they will retain TIN
spring temper for a practically in
definite period. 1t is expected tina
a most extensive use of tempere'
copper will be made for journa
bearings. Owing to the great den
sity of the metal, it takes a perfec
polish with use and makes an al
most frictionless bearing, free fror
danger of overheating, and outlast
ing either babbitt metal or brass 70

Sunday Law Unconstitutional.

Judge Stewart, of the district
court, Boise, handed down an opin-
ion last week holding the Sunday
closing Law passed by the last leg
islature unconstitutional, because
it applies only to territory not in
incorporated towns and villages
and deos not apply to trains and
boats carrying passengers. 1t is,
therefore, local and special, says
the judge. The case came up over
the application of the saloon at the
natatorium resort just outside the
city limits of Boise to remain
open on Sundays. The law pro-
vides that such application can be
made 20 the boards of county COM
missioners, and, if accompanied by
petition signed by the majority
of the voters at the last election,
shall be granted. In this instance
I the commissioners turned down the
application because the signers OF
the accompanying petition were
not voters at the time of the last
election. The natatorium saloon
remained open on Sundays, and
1 Manager Van F. Peterson was ar
+. rested for violating the law. The
matter came up on his trial anc
also on appeal from the rejection
by the commissioners of the petit.
ton for the saloon to be KEEP
open.

COMMODORE
WINS ON APPEAL
Supreme Court Says he
has Something Coming
for. That DuCking he
Was Given.

The supreme court Friday render
ed a decision dismissing the appeal
in the case of Commodore Jackson
VS.. F. II. Harriet ct al, the case
going up from this county.
The opinion is by Justice Sulli-
van, concurred in by Justice ALL
SHE, Chief Justice Stockslager dis
senting.
The appeal was dismissed on the
ground of the insufficiency of the
appeal bond, in that it failed to COM
ply with the provisions of section
1900, revised statutes, and the
surety company law, which provide,
that the undertaking on appeal
must be executed on the part of
the appellant, to the effect that
the appellant will pay all damages
and costs which may be awarded
against him on the appeal or
dismissal thereof, not exceeding
$500, and that if in such undertake
ing the sureties fail to obligate
themselves to the effect that appel
liant will pay all damages and costs
which may be awarded against
him on a dismissal of the appeal,
the undertaking is insufficient.
Chief Justice Stockslager, in dis
senting opinion, says:
81 cannot concur in the conClu-
sion reached by my associates in
this case, wherein it is held that
the conditions of the bond are in
sufficient to bind the surcties in
case the appeal is dismissed. 1 think
the language of the bond is entirely
sufficient to hold them in case of a
dismissal of the appeal. The OBJ
legation is that the bondsmcn 'un-
dertake and promise on the part of
the appellants that the same appel
lants will pay all damages and costs
which may be awarded against
them on the appeal, not exceeding
$500, to which amount we aCknowl-
edge ourselves jointly and severally
bound. 1t is true that section 1909,
revised statutes, requires that the
sureties should obligate themselves
to pay all damages and costs thai
may be awarded against them or
the appeal or on a dismissal thereof
l am at a loss to understand how ar
appeal could be dismissed without
carrying with it the cost of the ap
peal, and that is what the bond il
this case requires.

How TO Break up a Cold.

1t may be surprise to many to
learn that a severe cold can be COM
pletely broken up in one or two
days time. The first symptoms of
a cold are dry, loud cough, pro-
fuse watery discharge from the
nose, and thin, white coating on
the tongue. When Chamberlains'
cough remedy is taken every hour on
the first appearance of these symp-
toms, it counteracts the effect of
the cold and restores the system TO
healthy condition within a day

Morris X. Jesup, the philantropist,
took him up at that time. Mr.. Jesup
gave him $500 to help him in the fight
and $3.50 to reimburse him fer his ex-
penditures already made.
Since that time Mr.. Jesup has taken
deep interest in the Comstock cru
sades and has given his money free
ly. A meeting was held at Mr.. Jesup's
house in 1873 by prominent citizens.
the New York Society for the Sup
preston of Vice was formed and Mr..
Comstock was engaged as it's agent at
regular salary.
A determined attack on the pub
fishers and vendors of obscene litera-
ture and pictures was at once begun,
and at a fitting time, for never had
there been so many and such brazen
violations of the laws of the land and
decency as at that time. Advertise
ments were boldly printed in the pa
pers and thousands of circulars were
distributed by the dealers, many of the
circulars being placed in the hands CT
children as they left school. An in
effective law was passed in 1872
against the use of the mails for i'm
moral purposes, but it accomplished
nothing, and Mr.. Comstock endeavored

which none of his associates had been

Then springing like a cat, he caught
with his right hand one of the rounds
of ladder by which the men climbed
to the second story, and pulled him

himself, he repeated this Ginning

The fire was in a lately finished

Guardian of Youthful Morals.
Mr.. Comstock is best known for his
work in the prosecution of those who
make it a business to sell indecent
books, pamphlets and pictures to the
young, but as a matter of fact he is
equally active in crushing out othel

to have more stringent bill put

penses tc Washington and Senator
buckingham, of Connecticut, intro
duced the measure in the Senate and
Clinton l.. Merriam in the House. In
tense opposition was met from pow
erful lobby of publishers, but the bill
got through by small margin, and
with the aid of Speaker James G.
Blaine, was among the last taken up
and passed on the night of the final
day of the session of 1873.
He Refused the Salary.
After the law went into effect Sena-
tor Buckingham asked Mr.. Comstocb
to take position as postoffice inspect
or to see that it was enforced. He ac-
cepted the position, but declined the
salary, on the ground that he might be
placed under obligations to politicians
and on March 9Th, 1878, was made a
special agent of the department, which
commission has been renewed each
year since then.
So severe was the blow dealt the pub
fishers of the profitable ''sub rosa lit

to have the law repealed, and in 1881
