Application will be made to Judge

Orchards Comment on Verdict.
Not the least interesting Of the com
ments made upon the verdict was
that of Harry Orchard, the self-con-
fessed murderer of Gov. Steunenberg
and the witness upon whom the state
chiefly relied to prove it's claim of a
sinister conspiracy against the West
ern Federation of Miners. When told
at the state penitentiary that Hay
wood had been acquitted, Orchard
said:
well, have done my duty. / have
told the truth could do no more. I
am ready to take any punishment
that may be melted out to me for my
crime, and the sooner it comes the
better"
1t was after being out for FL hours
that the jury, which at first had been
divided eight to four and then seemed
to an agreement shortly after the
first faint streaks of the coming day
showed gray above the giant hills
which wall Boise to the north and
east. The weary, snow-bearded old
bailiff who had kept an all night vigil
before the door of the juryroom, was
startled into action by an imperative
knock from within. Events moved
rapidly enough after this, and when at
last the principal actors in the trial
had been gathered into the courtroom
at few moments before eight o'clock
the white envelope handed by the
foreman to the judge was torn open
and the verdict read.

Tears welled to the eyes of the man

the icy armor he had thrown about
himself with the first day of jury Sc
lection had been pierced, and what
ever of pentup feeling had been con-
tanned within was loosed. Haywood's
attorneys were fairly lifted from their
seats, and Judge Wood made no ef-
fort to restrain them as they sur

Is Pe-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should list of the ingredients of Pc.
runa be submitted to any medical ex-
pert, of whatever school or nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one of them was ofun-
doubted value In chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test of many
years experience in the treatment of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna is composed ofthe most
eficacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
of Peruna has a reputation Of its own

Peruna brings to the home the COM
B1NED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat
ment of catarrhal diseases; brings to
the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
butnotleast, brings to the home theva
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
intheuse ofcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic Catarrh is a dis
ease which is very prevalent. Manv
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture of the disease. The only trouble
is the remedy. This doctor has triedtO
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that Catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can besupplied direct
~ to the people, and no more be charged
for it than is necessary for the
handling of it.
No other household remedy SO uni
versally advertised carries upon the
label the principal active constituents,
showing that Peruna invites the full
inspection of the critics.

DEATH IN A NEW GUISE.
Scheme That Landed a Hungarian
Judge in Town Jail.

In little village on the Hungarian
frontier, not far from Presburg, a
peasant woman recently received 400
kronen ($85) from her husband in
America.
She promptly deposited it in the
local branch of the postofiice savings
bank, and then the next day went to
withdraw the whole amount.
The bank official was somewhat sur
prised, and asked for an explanation,
when she said that Death had APP
peared to her during the night and
threatened to take her away with him
unless she had the 400 crowns ready
for him the next night.
The gendarmes were communicated
with, and when Death made his
promised appearance he was found to
be very much alive, in the person of
the local judge.
The woman's money is still in the
bank, and the judge is in jail.-Pall

Boise, Idaho, July 29.-Into the
bright sunlight of beautiful Sabbath
morning William D. Haywood, de-
PENDANT in one of the most noted
trials involving conspiracy and MUIR
der that the country has ever known,
walked Sunday free man, acquitted
of the murder of the former Gov.
Frank Steunenberg.
The probability of verdict of ac-
quittal in the case of the secretary
treasurer and acknowledged leader of
the Western Federation of Miners had
been freely predicted since Saturday,
when Judge Fremont Wood read his
charge, which was regarded as strong
ly favoring the defense in it's interpre-
tation of the laws of conspiracy, cir
cumstantial evidence and the corrobo-
ration of an accomplice who confesses.
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywood's acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer,
the president of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone, of Denver
Statements from counsel and from

Dyed rugs, such as dog and goat

sons are put in that make them prac-

insects; but the contrary is true of
the natural skins, such as polar bear,

into that used on muffs, boas, etc.,
they are much more likely to attract

| The use of the legend I'm God We
Trust" ON some of the coins of the
United States grew out of a letter
written by Maryland farmer to Sal
mon P. Chase, when he was secretary
of the treasury. The letter was writ
ten in November, 1861, the writer urg-
ing that we should, as Christian peo-
pie, make some recognition of the
Diety on our coins. Mr.. Chase refer
red the letter to Director Pollock OF
the Mint, who approved the sugges-
ton and proposed one of the legends,
"Our Country, Our Cod" or God Our
Trust" Mr.. Chase then referred the
matter to congress, and again in 1862
and 1863 he urged that the matter be
acted on. Finally, on April %, 1864,
congress authorized the coinage of a
two-cent bronze piece, and on 1t was
stamped the legend In God We
Trust" instead of e Pluribus Unum."
on March 3, 1865, the d.
rector OF the, mint. with the approval
Of the secretary of the treasury, was
to place the legend on all
gold and silver coins susceptible OF
that addition thereafter to be issued.
The legend is taken from the following
line in THE Star Spangled Banners"
And this be our motto: In God Our

The Results Of Careful Experiments

In order to determine the durability
of different woods, says the Memphis

feet long and one and one-half inches
square, into the ground, leaving only
one-half inch projecting above the sur
face. After five years it was found
that those made Of oak. elm, ash, fir,
soft mahogany and nearly every va
riety of pine were totally rotten.
Larch, hard pine and teak wood were
decayed on the outside only. Acacia
was slightly attacked on the outside,
but otherwise sound. Hard mahogany
and cedar of Lebanon were In fairly
good condition but only Virginia cedar
was found to be in as good conditions
as when put into the ground. When
wood Is kept dry it's durability is even
greater than that of some of the
metals. Cedar, oak, yellow pine and
chestnut are the most durable when
kept dry. Beams known to be 1900
