F. M. NON® SCHEME IS A UNIQUE ONE Tettihime Stays in Jail, At Wh>chHis Wife Breaks. Down. Mis Trial Will Begin On'Oct. .1 aand Is JProMably the State’s Strong- .est Case—Many Con gratulation#. Boise, Ida., July 30.—-Charles IL Moy<er, president of the Wr stern Fed eration of Miners, and .co-defendant with William D. Haywood, acquitted of the murder of berg, ha« been ordered released on $25,000 bail by Judge Wood, who pre sided at the Haywood trial. The ,at- GOVERNOR FRANK E. GOODING OF IDAHO, torneys for the Federation expected to have the bond ready for filing at once, but the arrangements bad not been wholly completed at a late hour, and Moyer resigned himself to another night in jail. He will probably be re leased today, and will leave within twenty-four hours for his home at Denver. No Bail for Pettibone. No application for bail was made In the case of George A. Pettibone, the third of the alleged conspirators, but a motion was made for a speedy trial, and his case was ordered set down for Oct. 1. Counsel intimated that they might apply for a bond for Pettibone later, but it is not believed that the state’s attorneys will consent. It has been generally alleged that the state has more incriminating evidence against Pettibone than any of the oth ers. while it has been generally con ceded that the case against Moyer is the weakest of the three. Mrs. Pettibone Breaks Down. The matter cf releasing Moyer on bail and fixing the time for Pettibone's trial came up before Judge Wood at 10 a. m., but was postponed until 2 p. m. to allow further conferences be tween counsel for the defense and for the prosecution. Strenuous efforts were made to secure the consent of the state’s attorneys to the release of Pet tibone, but without avail. Moyer and Pettibone wore brought into court at 2p. m. The latter’s wife was present, but broke down and cried when the or der was made releasing Moyer and holding her busband. BUTTE UNION IS BONDSMEN Puts Up $25,000 in Cash for Moyer’s Freedom —Congratulations. Attorney Darrow, of Chicago, made the formal application for Moyer’s re lease, and no word of objection was interposed by Senator Borab, repre senting the state. When it came to fixing the amount Senator Borah named $25,000. “That is reasonable, and suits us,” said Darrow. Bond for Moyer is to be given in .a unique way, suggest ed by Attorney Peter Breen, of Butte, Mont., who has been associated with the defense. The Butte local of the Western Federation of Miners is the richest in the organization, and Breen said carries a deposit of from SIOO,- 000 to $140,000 constantly in the bank. Arrangements wer emade by wire by Breen to have the Butte union make $25,000 subject to draft by the First National bank, of Boise. Some officer of the Boise bank will sign the bail bond as surety. A telegram to Breen later said the arrangements at Butte had been completed. “We were offered personal bond in . several times the amount desired here in Boise,” said Breen, “but we pre- • ferrod not to impose-upon any of our | friends to that extent when the Butte I union has such a large surplus and ! was anxious for the honor of showing t its confidence in the president of the | Federation.” Discussion of the verdict I in *’ -ywcod case is widesprea 1, I th? • . >enaiis of opinion being that the jury bad done its duty as it saw it and should not be criticF I.

Fairfield, HL, July 30. —Miss Jennie C. Jayne, daughter of Amos Jayne, a farmer, near Newton, HL, has become the bride of Henry C.

That is the Opinion Expressed by a Score of Editors of Trade Publications. New York, July. 30. —Opinions of u score or more of editors of trade pub lications on business conditions are published here. The opinions are al most unanimously optimistic. Arguing from present conditions and tenden cies, the trade authorities see in the outlook .a continuation and even an increase of the prosperity which the country is enjoying. It is pointed out as the one negative feature in the sit uation that there is a scarcity of money In the markets, but this lack of money is cited as an evidence of activity. For the moment, It is believed, the stringency may act as a check to the development of new enterprises, but in the end, it is argued, whatever forces this money scarcity may exert will be counteracted by the uniform Stability of the country's crops and the disinclination on the part of busi ness to decline from its present stand ard of activity.

Deep down in the heart of man there abides a firm belief in the power of the dead to walk upon the earth and af fright, if such be their pleasure, the souls of the living. Wise folks, versed in the sciences and fortified in mind against faith in aught that savors of the supernatural, laugh ideas of ,the kind to scorn, yet hardly one of them will dare to walk alone through a graveyard in the night, or if one be found so bold he will surely hasten his footsteps, unable wholly to subdue the fear of sheeted specters which may rise from the grass grown graves or emerge from moonlit tombs and follow on, for, strangely enough, the dead, if not actually hostile to the living, are esteemed dangerous and dreadful to encounter. It used to be the fashion, says a writ er, in Lippincott’s Magazine, to sweep away all such notions by saying that they had their origin in the childhood of the race and that they sprang from fear of the unknown. This unques tionably was the easiest way to dis pose of them, but was it fair? The subject possesses intense interest for a great majority of mankind, and, though the existence of ghosts is unproved, there is undeniably a vast deal of tes timony in their behalf that deserves serious and respectful consideration. Fortunately, within the last few years the attitude of science toward problem has altogether changed, and, actuated by a new spirit of inquiry, the wise men have been engaged, thought fully and without prejudice, in study ing it out. While it cannot be said that any final and definite conclusions have as yet boon reached, an immense amount of evidence has been sifted, enough to sfiow pretty’conclusively for one point that the t aditloiinl specter of the Cock ' Lana school, with clanking chain and ! attributes dis/.g* xr.biy' suggestive of • the grivo, has no L nsls in fact.
