err. HOWGATE ARRAICNED.
In the Criminal Court last Friday
Capt, II W. Howgate was srrsigp-
ed to plead 10 the indictments for
forgery found against him By tie
Grand Jury few days ago, and be
pleaded not guilty. He was then
formally surrendered by his bonds
meu. The question Of bail was raised
bat District Attorney Corkhill said
that he preferred 10 let it 90 over
until next week, when another in
dictmsnt will be presented and the
whole question can be argued.
Counsel for Capt. Howeats said that
if bail should be fixed at $4,000
they would be unable 10 give it,.
The Court did not see how the de-
fendant, with all Of bis property Sc
qusstrsted, could give any bail. 10
thought, however, that the counsel
had better think the matter over
and come in next week and state
what they could do in the premises
Capt. Howeste was then taken back
TO JAIL

4 God FOrsaken People.

Says Salt Lake correspondent
But of all the ill-conditioned, God for
sakcn, hapless looking people | ever
saw, the women here beat them all.
Yesterday was supply day for the Nor
mon farmers living outside the city.
They bring their wives into town in
dead axle wagons, and fill III the va
cant room with children, who look full
" as bad as their mothers, if not
worse. Many Of them are lame and
humpbacked, and all look sickly and
are i'll clad. Two out of every three
women on the street, yesterday, had
nursing infants on their arms, and four
out Of five of the children are said to
be girls. One Of the saints had thir-
teen wives and ninety-four children,
which he exhibits with the pride !
should take in a lot of fine horses. ]
never realized the internal nature of
the institution nor its effect upon so
ciety as | do now. The sooner our
government crushes it out the better
for humanity. 1t is q blot upon the
face of the earth, particularly in this
lovely valley, so green and beautiful,
with apple, pear, and plum trees in full
blossom--grass waving in the wind,
bees humming, and birds singing, like
our July weather, while just beyond
this in the background arc the noun
tain tops covered with snow. 1t is the
prettiest sight | ever saw, and one
which shall never forget.

How They Salt Claim.
wish YOU would explain to nc all
about this sailing Of claims that / hear
80 much about" said a meek eyed ten
derioot to II grizzly old miner who was
panning out six ounces Of pulverized
quartz. 81 don't see what they want
to salt claim for, and don't under
stand how they do it,
"Well, you see, hot season like
this they have to salt claim lots of
times to keep it. a fresh claim is good
enough for fresh tenderfoot, but old
timers will not look at anything but u
picked claim, You know what quartz
Is, probably?'
NO
"Wcll, every claim has quartz
some more and some less. You find
out how many quartz there are, and
then put in 50 many pounds Of salt to
the quart Wild cat claims require
more salt, because the wild cat spoils
quicker than anything else.
Sometimes YOU catch sucker, too,
and you have 10 put him in brine pref
ty plenty, or YOU lose him. That's one
reason why they salt Il claim.
"Thcn, again, you grub stake Il man
But what i, q grub stake?
"Well a grub stake is stake that
the boys hang their grub on so they
can. carry it. Lots Of mining men
have been knocked cold by u blow
from Il grub stake.
"What | wanted to say, though, was
this; you will probable at first strike
free milling poverty with indications of
something else. Then you will no
doubt sink till YOU strike bed rock, or
a true fssuro gopher hole, with traces
Of disappointment.
"That's the time to put in your salt.
You can shoot it into the shaft with a
double barrclIcd shot gun, or wet it
and apply it with whitcwash brush.
If people turn up their noses at your
claim then, and say it is a snidc, and
that there is something rotten i'll Den
mark, you can tell them that they are
clear of, that you salted your claim,
and that you know it is all right
The last seen of the tcnderfoot he
was buying Il double barrelled shot
gun and ten pounds Of rock salt.
There is no doubt but mining camp
is the place to send a young man who
wants to acquire knowledge and fill his
system full of information that will be
useful to him so long as he lives.-La-

Advisory Board for. Reprieves and Par
dons; to make the State Librarian

ton on the subject of the public schools.
The conversion of the State Bonds into
four per cent. interest bearing bonds, is
endorsed seemingly on all sides. The
recommendations on the subject of issuing
bonds by the Levy Courts for the improve
ments of the public highways is not dis
scented from. The necessity to adopt some
measure to "prevent the repetition of
offences against the purity of the ballot
is accepted with the hope that every man
of them will begin at home, and work
outward from the centre. It's customary
for all executives to distribute some

of the balance of the debt will be redeem.

THE subject of Legislative divources
has engaged the attention of the people
and the press during the past week. The
Wilmington Gazette little more than
half way endorsed it, while the other
papers of that city, that expressed any
opinion, opposed any action Of the Legis-
lature in this direction. The matter of
divorce is a serious business and we are
glad that the per cent. in our State as
compared with the number effected in
New England and the West is so small
it stands very much to the credit of the
virtue of the Southern and Border States
that there is so little conjugal infelicity
seeking redress through the law. AS far
as the law provides way through the
courts and the parties are able TO bear the
expense, they should be made to do so,
but in the other cases where the way is
not thus provided and the parties are not
able to bear the expense of the court
charges, there is no good reason why the
Legislature should not act on their cases
The reason assigned for opposing legisla.
tive action, that it will consume so much
of their time, does not amount to much
they are bound to hibernate until thawed
out by the warm days of Spring, and
they had just as well be furnished some
thing to do as not.
