WERE TAKEN FROM PEN|TENT|ARY To Caldwell
Their Attorney Demands an Immediate Hearing bnt Compromises on February
q as The Dae-Wesen Federation Miners Will Spend One
Hundred Thousand Dollars TO Free Accused Men

BOISE, Idaho, Feb 21.-Moyer
Haywood and Pettibone, in charge OF
the deputy warden and guards, were
taken to Caldwell this morning for ar
raignment.
The train stopped opposite the coun-
ty Jail and the prisoners were trans
ferred. At ten o'clock they were
brought before Probate Judge Church
An information was read charging
each with numbering Ex-Governor
Steunenberg. The prisoners were rep
resented by Attorney E. F. Richardson,
of Denver The latter mad no legal au-
minority to appear, not having been
admitted to practice in Idaho, but this
courtesy was extended to him at the
request of Prosecuting Attorney Van
Duyn.
Pettibone was to be first arraigned.
An affidavit was read charging him
with exploding the bomb by which
Frank Steunenberg met death on the
night of December 80, and the same
charge was then read to Haywood,
and Meyer, and affidavits directly
charging the defendants with the same
murder and the defendants stood mute,
refusing to plead.
Richardson demanded immediate
preliminary hearing. Under the Idaho
law thus must be had within two
days after arraignment. The attorneys
agreed that the cases should go over
to the 9th. Richardson demanded
that the prosecution produce the names
of witnesses by which proof of the
charges is to be established, but the
court overruled the motion on the
ground that the prosecution alleged
that three witnesses would cor
roborate the affidavits of the prosecut.

Dr. Nelms' highly sensational
charges followed the turning down of
petitions from property owners in dis
tricts 21 and % in which the council
was requested to include Victor and
bituminous pavement in the bids that
are being advertised for. The first In
timation that property owners are dis
satisfied with the councils action IN
advertising for only two kinds of pave

sented by Attorney Marvin Evans, rep

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.

The Hardest to Make Are Orchids

The orchid and American Beauty rose
Aare the two most difficult flowers to
make. A skilled worker can construct
only about six American Beauty roses
in one day, and this number only when
the leaves and petals are all ready to

the jasmine. are also difficult to make,
and only skilled hands can be intrust
ed with this work. The majority Of
the small and delicately made flowers
imported for millinery uses are made
In the prisons OF France. The work

skilled hands lucrative the girls re-

THE HORNBlLL.
A Bird That ImprisOns HIS Mate Dur
ing the Br0oding Season.

ing the BroOding Season.
A remarkable mode of incarceration
IS practiced by the hornbllls, birds
with immense bills and horny crests,
which inhabit southern Asia, the Ma
layan Islands and central and southern
Africa. In most If not all species the
brooding female is walled up In hol.
low tree and fed by her mate.
She remains confined In her prison
until the eggs are Matched. and In some
species until the young birds are able to
fly. Meanwhile the mother has become
temporarily incapable of flight, as she
has molted, or at least shed all her wing
feathers, during her captivity. But the
male Is tndefatigable In providing for
his family and is said to work so hard
that he Is reduced almost to q skeleton
at the end of the brooding season.
According to the theory of many ma
lives, the female is imprisoned to pre-
vent her neglecting her duty of brood
ing. and If she has been unfaithful or
negligent her mate closes the little
window Of her cell and abandons heE,
to painful death by suffocation The
true story, perhaps, is this: The female
walls herself In so that she cannot fall
from the nest after losing her feathers
and also to protect herself from enc
niles. The building material Is her own
excrement. This version Is less poet
ical than the other, but 1t is probably
nearer the truth. 1t Is supported by
the statement that the female llberates
herself as soon as the young birds are
we'll grown, so that her prison Is less
formidable than 1t appears.-ScientiHc

Origin of Italics.

1talic letters were first used about the
year 1900 by Aldus Manutius, a Vene-
tan printer. He observed the many
inconvenience resulting from the vast
number of authorizations which were
then SO frequent among the printers
that book was difficult to understand.
A treatise was actually written on the
art of reading a printed book and thus
addressed to the learned. By introduc-
ing the italic letter he contrived an ex-
pedient by which these authorizations
might be entirely got rid of and yet
books suffer little increase in bulk. He
dedicated his invention to the Italian
states: hence the name. 1t has also
been distinguished by the name of the
inventor and called the Aldine. The
first book printed in italics was an edi-
ton of Virgil printed at Venice by
Aldus In 1901.

THE SENSE OF SMELL.
Gas, According TO n Scientist, Is Its
Fundamental Basis,

Gas, According TO a Scientist, Is Its
Fundamental Basis,
Is the sense of smell excited by gases
or particles? According to DR.. John
Aitken, an English specialist, gas is the
fundamental basis of the sense OF
SMELL In experiments he first invest-
gated musk, of which 1t Is possible TO
detect by smell a microscopic quantity
inconceivably minute, fact we'll
known to scientists. DR.. Aitken car
ried out his researches upon the cloud !
condensation basis. according to which,
If odors are attributable to Pal iicles,
the latter form nuclei of cloudy con.
densation in supersaturated air and
thus make their presence visible.
In the case of musk no such nuclei
were detected, proving that musk does
not give off solid particles, but evapo.
rates as gas or vapor. and that it Is
gaseous particles from the musk that
act on the sense of smell. OF twenty.
three other odorous substances not one
gave It's perfume In solid particles,
nothing but gases or vapors escaping
from them.
DR.. Aitken points out that the nos.
trils appear to substantiate this theory.
The perfume of snuff, for instance, is q
soft, velvety sensation, while the effect
Of the solid is sharp and bitins, more
allied to pain than pleasure.
