FORECAST OF HAYWOOD TRIAL.
Present Week Will Bring but Little
New Evidence.

Boise, Idaho.-The better part of
this week will be taken up with the
evidence of the defense. AfIidavits
bearing on Orchards alleged attempt
to blow up Fred Bradley in San Fran
cisco, will be read. They will, Of
course contradict the multi-murderer.
An expert will then be put on the
stand to swear that ten pounds Of dy-
Mantle, the amount Orchard claims to
have used on the Bradley lob" would
have blown his intended victim to
atoms and would have wrecked the
hoHse. Attorney ]. c. Robertson of
Spokane, will testify concerning the
mysterious telegram signed M" sup
posed to have been sent by Robert
sons law partner, Fred Miller, to Or
chard. He will contradict the states
theory incidentally he will swear that
Jack Simpkins warned him of Or
chard's plan to kidnap the Paulsoh
children. Robertson was Paulson's at
torney.
Then the defense will produce an ex.
act duplicate of the box said to have
been unearthed at the gate leading to
the house of Judge Goddard in Den
to squeeze forty sticks of dynamite
into the receptacle. The defense Sc
cured its information concerning the
box from the states witnesses, and is
prepared TO demonstrate that Judge
Goddard and the other witnesses were
very much in error when they testified
about the amount of powder they re-
moved from it,
Senator Borah has secured strong
evidence for rebuttal. A number of
prominent citizens of Colorado are
here to testify for the prosecution con-
cerning conditions In Telluride. Trini-
dad and Cripple Creek prior to and
during the Peabody wars" Sheriff
Rutan of San Miguel county and r. NJ.
Wright, a prominent mining man of
Telluride, arrived tonight and Joined
the Colorado colony Of anti-federation-
lists. 1t is evident that Senator Borah
will undertake to defend the actions of
the militia and members of the Citi-
zens' Alliance during the Colorado
trouble, and like Lord Give, will
wonder at their moderation"
In case the jury fails to reach an
agreement. six months will elapse be-
fore another federation leader is ar
raigned Then Pettibone will be put
in the prisoners dock.
Judge Wood is already dreaming OF
a long vacation in the cool mountain
hooks where the trout jumps to the fly
and Senator Borah is planning cam
paign against his enemies. 1t is given
out here that the indictments returned
by the recent federal grand jury will
be made public the day the Haywood
case goes to the jury. Then Senator
Borah will be taken into custody, and
VIII. be e:sri an opportunity to give
bond. He will not be tried until Sep
tember. but he will require at leastt a
month to prepare his defense.

ALCOHOL IN MEDICINES.
seventy-Five Per Cent Of Doctors
Prescriptions Call for 1t.

Now that the National Pure Food
and Drugs law is in effect all patent"
medicines in liquid form bear on the
label statement of the percentage
of alcohol contained in them. The
average amount of alcohol is said to
be about ten per cent, some have more
and some less, but that is about the
average Alcohol is everywhere rec
ognized as a chemical necessity for
the preservation of organic substance
from deterioration and from freez-
Ing and it is also required to dissolve
substances not soluble in water.
But for the use of a small quantity
OF alcohol in most ready-to-use medi-
cines those preparations which most
families keep constantly on hand
would likely be decayed or frozen
when their use became necessary.
Alcohol is an Indispensable requi-
site in the fluid extracts and tinctures
which are exclusively used in filling
prescriptions written by physicians.
and these tinctures and extracts con-
tain from 20 to 80 per cent of alco-
hol. More than rs per cent Of all
the liquid medicines prescribed by
physicians contain alcohol in large
proportions.
Charles A. Rapelye. leading phar-
macist of Hartford, Conn, some time
ago examined 25 prescriptions repre-
senting fair average of those writ
ten by physicians to be compounded,
and none being for specialties. The
average amount of alcohol in the
whole number was 35 per cent but
of the 25 prescriptions five contained
no alcohol, so that the average per
centage of the remaining 20 which
did contain alcohol was nearly As per
cent; or more than four times the
probable average alcoholic strength of
patent medicines.
There is some difference of opinion
as to whether it is or is not desirable
as a stimulant in case of sickness.
but there is no difference Of opinion
as to the necessity for its use as sol
vent and preservative in most cases.
The attention of the medical world
has recently been called to mani
festo issued by prominent London
physicians who, while deploring the
evils from the use of alcoholic bev-
erages, are convinced 'of the correct
ness of the opinion so long and gener-
ally held, that in disease alcohol is
rapid and Trustworthy restorative
and that in many cases 1t may be
truly described as life-preserving, ow-
ing to its power to sustain cardiac and
nervous energy, while protecting the
nitrogenous tissues. This manifesto

Flow of Artesian Well.

To calculate the rate OF flow OF an
artesian well a simple plan is to lower
a bottle of aniline fluid to depth OF
say 500 feet and then electrically ex.
plode cap to burst the bottle. The
time required for the fluid to appear
at the surface gives an accurate gauge
as to the velocity of flow. 1t is claimed
that this method gives results as ac.
curate as weir. The diameter OF
the pipe being known. the rate of flow
readily follows.

white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm

only one which is safe to use on fine

makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result OF perfect
