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. Afidavits
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
honse. Attorney ]. c. Robertson of
Spokane. will testify concerning the
mysterious telegram signed M" sup

Then the defense will produce an ex.

the house of Judge Goddard in Den

to squeeze forty sticks of dynamite
into the receptacle. The defense Sc

EX-GOVERNOR PEABODY ON THE
TRIAL.
Says He Thinks Haywood Jury Com.
posed Of Very Intelligent Men.

Denver-Former Governor James II.
Peabody. back from the trial of VIII
liam d. Haywood at Boise, was at the
Brown Palace hotel recently.
"They did not keep me on the stand
long" declared the man against whose
life Harry Orchard swore he plotted.
II was there of course only to
answer such questions as were asked
me, and was rather surprised both at
the brevity of my examination by the
prosecution and by the defense.
my judgment is that Orchard was
telling the truth when on the stand,
from what know and what gathered
while in Boise, but the outcome Of the
trial is something as 10 which | do not
think / care to make any prediction.
My best judgment is however. that
theer is good jury in the case. i
looked the men on this jury over care
fully, and my impression is that they
are a set of men that will do their best
to bring in what they think is a proper
decision.
ut is a coincidence. at least that
since the fight on the Western Fedora
ton of Miners and the arrest and con-
finement of the leaders there has been
no cries of crimes of violence in min
ing localities and elsewhere such as
there was while | was governor
The governor said he was glad to
have been at the trial. and from what
he had seen of the rulings of the judge
in the case he thought that the Judge
was doing the best he could to give
both sides free hand and fair trial.

MADE A NEW FASHION.
Good Joke Played In Old Days on
Would-Be Fashionable.

Old Camden, in his Remains" tells
good story OF trick played by
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
of Norwich in the time of King Henry
Will, of the proud humor which our
people have to be Of the gentlemens
cut This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown. and sent it to the tailor's
to be made. John brakes, shoe
maker, coming to this tailors and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there. bid the tailor buy cloth OF the
same price and PATTERN and make 1t
of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown. and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose 1t was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make i'll" John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear it. Perceiving the same to be
full of cuts. he began to swear at the
tailor. Il have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor. for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is.
even so have l made yours" BY my
latchet!" quoth John brakes. Il will
never wear gentlemen's fashions
again!"-London T. P.'s Weekly.

ALCOHOL IN MEDICINES.
seventy-Five Per Cent of Doctors
Prescriptions Call for II.

Now that the National Pure Food
and Drugs law is in effect all patent
medicines in liquid form bear on the
label a 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 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 % prescriptions repre-
sentine a 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 IS 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 45 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 a 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
heterogeneous tissues. This manifesto
which was published in The Lancet,

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter OF great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals. is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its greal strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.

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 a 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.
