INTERVIEW RESENTED.
Judge and Defense in the Hay
wood Case Object to
Orchards Talk.
PROSECUTION NOT so WORRIED
Counsel for the Defendant Wants
Gooding Cited for Contempt
State Lawyers Intimate That at the
Worst the Defense Has No
Right to Throw Any
Stones.

Boise, Ida, May 1S..-Judge Fremont
Wood, who is presidingat the Steunen-
berg murder trial, directed the prose-
cutting attorney of Ada county 10 make
an Investigation of the circumstances
under which Harry Orchard was in
terxiewed for publication Thursday
and take any legal steps that his In
quiry showed to be warranted. Judge
Wood drew attention to the publica-
ton of the interviews when he ascend
cd the bench. and his request of coun-
sci for advice as to the manner in
which the court should deal with the
incident brought from the defense the
charge that Governor Gooding and
certain newspapers We're trying to
bolster up Orchards credibility, and
the suggestion that the governor be
cited for contempt.
View of the Prosecution.
Counsel for the prosecution defend
ed Governor Gooding, and the newspa-
pers included within the charges. and
showed that the applications for the
Interview with Orchard had been made
weeks before the examination of tales
men disclosed the prejudice against
him. They in turn charged that while
some of the talesmen We're entering
court yesterday morning men indirect
ly connected with the defense had
made remarks within their hearing
that We're calculated to influence them
and this affairs is also to be made the
subject of inquiry by the county prose
cutting attorney.
Thinks Something Must Be Done.
In calling attention to the Orchard
Interview Judge Wood said that per
haps their publication was not an at
tempt to influence the jury, but as II
was calculated to influence jurors he
felt that something must be done tc
prevent a recurrence of such a thing
in order to secure jury. James H
IIawley, for the state, expressed his
regret over the publications of the. in
terview with Orchard, and disclaimet
responsibility for it. The court drew
attention to the utterances of Govern
or Cooling in connection with thu
statement that Orchard is not to hav,
immunity for his confession, and Mt
suggestion from Richardson that til,
defense could not speak freely in thu
presence of the jury requested al

Alden Times says:
1.-The law covers everything peo-

with the regular proportions Of

I'VE hope everybody will be alive

Manchester, Ia, Nav %, 1907

Manchester, Ia, May %, 1907.
In last weeks issue of several Of
the papers Of this county was an ar
ticle, authorized, as we understand
it by creameries of this county, es-
pecially directed against the Dairy
City Creamery Co., and while we
have not time to spare, or the incli-
nation to carry on any extensive
controversy in the papers, we feel
out of justice to our present patrons
and friends that we want to correct
some Of the statements made in the
article referred to:
We have been and expect to con-
,inue to work for large increase in
our business and are much gratified
with the results, but in SO doing we
have simply made our arguments for
the business on an honest statement
of the advantages we are able to Of
fer, and at no time have we attacked
in our statements or advertisements
any other creamery or individual,
nor do we intend to in this letter.
The article published last week
speaks for itself and is of such a
personal and libelous nature, that
had we any inclination SO to do, we
could bring strong claim against
each creamery and individual con
nected with the publishing Of same:
but we prefer to have the patrons of
this County Judge for themselves the
motive for issuing same, viz:
That with our numerous advanta-
ges We are making serious inroads
on their business, and they hope TIC
check same by personal attacks and
by working on the sympathies OF
the patrons.
We wish to make this statement
on some of the points brought out.
CONTRACTS.-We did not Of
fer the patrons of any route con-
tract of 35c for cream for one year
We did, however, offer price Of 36e
Ior one week and to contract tOl
same for whole milk at a certain
margin over New York, from one tc
five years, which offer still holds
good. The Dairy City Creamery
Co.. will stand squarely behind any
offer or contract, and are able to
back same with bond, if necessary.
HAULERS-We did not offer a
certain hauler $500 per trip, but a
certain hanler offered us his SER
vices at $500, which we accepted
and who, later, went back on his
contract of which fact every patron
on his route fully understands. Il
is our privilege, however, to offel
haulers any prices we may see fit
and We hope our competitors will

Saving at One Dollar Per Week.

To all men who work for wages or
on salaries their only hope for a
peaceful old age and for life free
from racking money cares is to pro-
vide beforehand for the future, says
the New York World. They should
take no risk. When they speculate
they stake their family's future and
their own peace Of mind against a
few dollars. Even were the chances
equal-and in the case of a small
man the odds are always against
him-the risk which he takes is
vastly disproporationate to any pos
sible gain.
Few men ever heard of progressive
compound interest and still fewe,
know what it does. One dollar de-
posted in a savings bank which pays
4 per cent will amount to $2.l9 in
20 years. This is simple compound
interest. But how many men know
that if they deposit ST every year
the value in 20 years will not be
$2.l9, but 3O.97?
Any man or woman who is earn
ing wages at all can save 81 a week
That money deposited in savings
bank for 20 years will amount to
$l,l62. A deposit of SIS week
will amount to over $4,000. The
annual interest on this at 4 per cent
would be 1920.
Thus the man who deposits SIS a
week in a savings bank can, after 20
years, draw out Sc week and still
leave to his wife and children at his
death all the money that he deposit
ed and more than half as much more.
There is no paradox or catch in
this. 1t is a plain, simple mathemat-
ical statement of what any savings
bank will do.
Every wife should read these
figures and go over them for herself.
They are accurate. The only neces-
sity is to make the deposits regularly.
If, instead of disseminating the
weekly deposits at 20 years, they are
continued for ten years more, every
dollar a week will have become
$53.38 and the $53a year will have
become over $4,000. For every
dollar which has been deposited So
week can be drawn out without
impairing the principle, which has
been doubled Oelwein Register.

By and by, says the London News, she came and sat by an elderly lady, who congratu lated her on the way she had sang, but ventured to offer one or two sugges, tions. The young singer treated the hints with scorn and afterward asked the hostess who "the old lady" was who had dared to give her suggestions. "Oh, that was Mime. Goldschmidt," re piled the lady.
