One thing is certainly in favor of Mayor Seidel of Milwaukee. He has refused to go on the Chautauqua lecture platform. He says the people elected him to do something else. Mayor Gaynor of New York is certainly a candidate for president. He has vetoed a bill for advertising wagons, and says of the patrons: “Let them advertise in the news- papers.” The west is keeping step with the spread of trade education.

PORTION IS RECOVERED Fragments of Drug Picked Up and Sent to Chicago, Where Chemists Found Traces of Poison in Them. Jury Not to Be Informed That De- fendant’s Bond Has Been Declared Canceled. Kansas City, April 29.—Thomas H. Swope, Jr., told in the criminal court how he found capsules which Dr. Hyde had thrown away on a street and recognized the odor they emitted as cyanide of potassium. While working in a Nevada mine, sald Mr. Swope, he became well ac- quainted with the poison and was posi- tive he could not be mistaken about the peculiar odor of it. Cyanide, he said, smelled like burned almonds. Dr. Hyde was about 300 feet from him when the capsules were thrown away, said Mr. Swope. The physician stamped them into the snow after dropping them, testified the witness. In so far as Mr. Swope knew, Dr. Hyde did not know his actions were observed by anyone. Accompanied by John G. Paxton, said Mr. Swope, he made a second visit to the point where he had seen ‘Dr. Hyde-and they found fragments of three capsules. All of the parts of the capsules were sent to Chicago and chemists announced they found traces of cyanide in them. Nurse Recognizes the Odor. After smelling wet cyanide on the hand of Hugo Brecklein, a druggist, in the courtroom Miss Le Van Nuys said it was the same drug she smelled on the hand of Mr. Swope after he had handled the capsules he picked up in the street. Judge Latshaw ordered that at all times Dr. Hyde should be brought into and removed from the courtroom out of the presence of the jury in order that the jurymen might not know he is in the custody of the authorities. The action of the court pleased Mrs. Hyde. She smiled when the order was given. This order followed the revocation of Dr. Hyde’s $100,000 bond by the court and the defendant was remand- ed to the custody of the sheriff. In making this order the court said: “In view ot the testimony thus far given in this trial, the court is con- strained to say that it amounts to a presumption of guilt that under the law deprives the defendant of the right to go on bond.” IS NOT TO THEIR LIKING Dakota Members Will Fight the Sa- bath Amendment.
