CvA number of horses have died in
Davis county from eating rusted oats. The
Clarion, published at Bloomfield, says that
farmer in Union township in that county,
had lost three horses, said to have died from
having been turned into field Of oats so
badly rusted as not to be worth harvesting.
1t is supposed that onts which have suffered
from this terrible blight are powerful
poison to all that feed upon them while in
the straw, and it would be well for farmers
to be on their guard and not turn their stock
in the fields even if they do dot intend to
harvest the crop. We also learn that it is
reported in the South, that animals have
died in several instances when turned into
rusted oat heids.-Horkeye.

What Makes Money Tight!

This question is asked over and over
again; asked oftener, too, by the very men
who contribute to this 'tightness' than any
other class, and yet they do not dream that
they have any agency in producing this
stringency. Money lenders--men who live
On their ten per cent. per annum, or on
their three per cent. per month-in times Of
business panic, haul in every dollar as it
falls due, shut their gold up in the strong
box, sit down on the lid, roll up their eyes,
and exclam: ''What makes money tight?'
Wise men! but whose timidity has driven
all sense out Of their craniums. Money
makes towards of men, and nights good
rest to a moneyed man is as rare as Il good
laugh to a dyspeptic. As showing how
money men run and hidetheir treasure when
they get scared, we have only to quote from
the commercial columns of the New York
Times, the fact, that in that city, the s'de-
post line has now reached ninety Millions"
Think of that money, as worthless as so
much gold buried ten thousand feet in the
mines, and ask ''What makes money Tight"
This is an excess over the same time last
year of 1923 100000.

Arrival OF the Salt Lake Mail.


We learn from the St. Joseph Journal,
that the mail, which left Salt Lake on the
9th of July, arrived at st. Joseph on the
l4th of August. The Mormons had all re-
turned to the City. BRIGHAM YorNC had
shut himself up in his residence, and a
strong Mormon guard was stationed around
it both night and day. He was afraid OF
being assassinated by his own people. The
season had been very propitiou5 in Utah,
for the crops. Vegetables were plenty, but
sold at very high price. Gen. JOHNSTON
is going to break up his present encamp-
ment, remove short distance, and fix for
winter quarters.
A band of seven hundred Pavrce Indi-
ans, who had been run from the hunting
grounds by the Camanches, Cheyrnnes and
Arrappahoes, were seen on the Big Blue
The Pawnees had fought the three combin-
ed tribes, a running fight of six days dura-
ton. The Pawnees in the engagement, had
four warriors, two squaws and one papoose
killed and several wounded, but they sue
ccedcd in killing fifteen Cheyenne, and two
Rappahoes and wounding several others
They came on with the mail as far as the
Little Blue, where they cncamped.'
Large herds of buffalo were seen by the
mail party, between Cottonwood Springs
and Plumb Creek.

CTOne of the newspaper correspondents
out in Utah alludes to the arrival there of
some twenty five sacks of public documents,
speeches, &C., sent there under the frank of
Mr.. Bernhsel, the honorable delegate from
that Territory, and computes that the cost
of transportation of these precious and val
liable documents was over $4,000. This,
however, is but a single, and probably not
unparalleled instance of the abuse of the
franking privilege. No wonder the debit
side of the Departments accounts is so great

Noticing that it was escaping, Mr.. Chandler

On approaching the spot the gas ignited,
throwing him upon the floor, and burning

A Political Game in New York.

The Albany Erening Journal has been,
for some days past, engaged in exposing a
secret organization, which 1t charges has
been formed, or is about being formed to
control all the nominations to be made at
the Republican State Convention. The
protessed object of the organization is said
to be, to secure union of Republicans and
Americans in the fall elections; while the
Journal charges that its real object is to
promote the selfish interests of individuals
engaged in getting it up, and the betrayal
of the Republican party.

%" The New York Herald, commenting
on the success Of the Atlantic Telegraph
enterprise, says that much has been accom-
plished By the local Geographic system on
our continent:
But we look confidently forward to the
time when the Herald will contain, besides
its local and city intelligence and advertise
ments, nothing but a mass of faithful tele-
graphic reports of the events in the whole
world of the previous day, with our edito-
rial comments thereon. This is the electric
placer of journalism that We mean to open.
When this is achieved-when the columns
of this paper shall bring to its readers
full and faithful report of news from the
whole world when it shall contain each
morning everything worth knowing from
America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Austria
liza, with our editorial comments thereon
we shall look upon it as the triumph Of the
revolution in journalism which we began
twenty three years ago, and shall prepare
to sing our nunee dimifds domino; for our
work will be accomplished. We shall then
believe that we have done our part, as have
those, who undertook the mechanical prob.
lem of the Atlantic Telegraph cable.

4 Merry Christmas.

A merry Christmas to ALTO the clergyman
who on this day impresses upon the minds and
hearts of his hearers the solemn and yet happy
import Of this Festival time;-to the physician who
causes The heart of the lone widow to pour forth
blessings upon him, as he greets her with ''Mer-
ry Christmas" and receipted bilI for services to
herself or loved ones-to the lawyer who sits down
cbeerfully at his fresde, with wife and children,
and puts far away all thoughts of suits and
'dockets;-to the banker as he rides in his lux xu-
rious carriage to the church door, and after ser
vice, rides around TO the homes Of the poor, dis
pensing charity with liberal hand;-to the mer-
chaLt who, he counts up his profits for the week,
can cheerfuly deduct the cost of divers pieces of
cotton aud woolen goods given to the needy and
suffering, andwhO can look around his household
and feel no computations as 10 the method of OBJ
tanning his wealth;-to the mechanic, who return
ed from his work last night with his little tin pail
filled with toys and knick-knacks for the children,
and with affeetionate word for his gentle help
mate5-to the aged grand-pareut, who holds this
day upon his knee, his children of the third gener-
ation;-to the matron, the wife, the bride, the
maiden, and the little girl;-to the man, the bus
band the lover, the youth, and the little boy,-to
the bachelor, vainly endeayoring to cook his at
tenuated turkey upon the stove that warns his
Office, bedroom, parlor and kitchen combined;-to
anybody and everybody, old and young, male and
Especially female, married and single, we present
our hearty wishes for many returns for as merry
Christmas as We hope this viii be to them.
