Perhaps you have wondered while out gunning and watched the elusive ani- mals speeding away. According to J. G. Millais, the length of a hare’s stride is about four feet, while that of a rab- bit is about two feet. Under condi- tlons of fear the hare is said to leap ten to twelve feet, some authorities claiming that it can jump ditches ten to twenty-five feet In width. A hare can jump upward perpendicularly five feet. Rabbits can make leaps of six or seven feet horizontally, but cannot Jump higher than three feet. When compelled to do so, it is said, rabbits can swim as well as dogs.—Philadel- phia North American. A Bright Bird.

This was about five weeks before the assassination of ‘Governor Btounenberg, Orchard, when ‘confronted by Blliott, declared he had never seon the man before. i llfott was put through a searching ‘cross-examinntion by Mr. Hawley. He said he had nover related to his kins- people, with whom he sometimes stopped, tho details of his conversa- tion with Orchard. The defonse next. called to the stand John M. O'Nelll, editer of the Miners’ Magazine, O'Nefll said he had been a miner for twenty-elght years. - “You were once a member of the leglslature?” asked Mr. Datrow. “I regret to say so, yes, sir, in 1897,” replied O'Neill, The witness declared Moyer and Haywood had nothing to do with the ‘magezine, although they occasionally wrote signed articles. The magazine is the official organ of the Western Federation of Miners. O'Neill sald he sometimes consulted Moyer and Haywood or some member of the executive board as to what to say in the magazine. Usually he con- sulted no one, but published the edl- torials as he wrote them. The wit- ness said he had known Orchard in Denver. In his office one day Orchard asked him where Governor Peabody and General Sherman Bell lived and said they ought to be “bumped off.” Just at this time the witness’ wife 3nd daughter eame in. Orchard made no ‘further reference to the matter. EIGHT MEN KILLED. Premature Blast ‘on 'Railroad Con- struction Work.

Chicago, June 27.—Judge Landis, in the United States district court here, refused a new trial to the Standard Ofl company, recently convicted of makirg shipmerts at illegal mteg(,be— tween Whiting, Ind, and East™ St. Louls. After the denial of the motion ask- ing for a new trial Attorney John S. Miller for the oil company entered a motion in arrest of judgment. This was promptly overruled. Mr. Miller then asked the court to elect a particular count in the indict- ment on which to base the final judg- ment -of the court. This was also de- nied by Judge Landis. The court then announced that he was desirous of obtaining information regarding the financial resources of the Standard Oil company and or- dered J. H. Howard, former auditor of the Chicago and Alton railroad, to take the witness stand. The attor- neys for the oil company objected, but the court insisted and Mr: How- ard took the stand. Judge Landis conducted the exam- ination of Mr. Howard with the assist- ance of Assistant District Attorney Wilkerson, but was unable to obtain much information regarding the fi- nances of the oil company. Little Information Secured. F. S. Hollands, chief rate clerk for the Alton road during the time the violations of law charged against the Standard Oil company occurred, was then called. Little information was obtained from him. Judge C. M., Stanley, chief clerk of the law department of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, and J. E. Smith, a distribution clerk of the same road, were examined briefly regarding the issuance of tariffs on oil by the Chi- cago and Alton road. 3 Judge Landis then ordered the issu- ance of subpoenas returnable July 6 for the president, secretary and treas- urer- of the Standard Oil company of Indiana, the officers of the Union Tank line and officers and directors of the companies holding the stock of the two concerns first mentioned. It was left to the discretion of United States District Attorney Sims to subpoena such individuals as he chose out of the list of officials mentioned by the court. Under the order of Judge Lan- dis the district attorcey may summon John D. Rockefeller, H. H. Rogers or any other man connected with the Standard Oil company that he may de- sire tq question.

Attorney Worthington then briefly outlined the case for the defense, say- ing principally that it would be shown that the-testimony given by Witness'| Van Riper, the chief rellance of the government, had been “a tissue of lles,” because Mr. Holmes had jnever entered into the conspiracy alleged to have heen formed to give out the secret Information of the department and had never done.so. Furthermore, it would ‘be shown that even if he had glven the Information as charged | he had not violated any law, because he had-nat given out any real infe ‘tation, only an opinion. oo FOR SALE—Magnificent . % Library in basement of Court f No matter from what source they | eame, if you have a skirt, jacket, a dainty waist, piece of lace, em- broidery or linen, or some other article of value, we can clean it for you, removing the spot or stain entirely.
