bility.
During the past few weeks negotia-
tons have been conducted between
some of the bondsmen of II. G. Knapp
and that individual, with the view of
resumlng work on the courthouse and,
if possible, finishing it within contract
time, SO as to avoid further legal COM
plications which would involve the
bondsmen. These negotiations are so
far advanced that it is safe to say
that the work will be resumed in a
few days, the contract having been as
signed to w. I. Riley, who assumes
all debts for material, labor, etc, and
other Just liabilities, and thus relieves
the bondsmen of all responsibility
even to that which may arise from
the failure to finish the courthouse by
] =
June l, the date fixed in the original
contract.
OF the original amount Of the con.
tract only about $4,000 remains, ove'
and above the liabilities already incur
red for the work. With this $4,000
the iron work costing $4,000 mus
be done, the carpenter work, stair
cases, painting and all inside work
must also be done. 1t will therefore
be difficult for the new contractor t.
finish the work for the original contrac
price, but as the bOndsmen are re
lieved Of responsibility the loss, if any
will now fall on the new contractor.

"Jimmy, get the flag
This command was given by the
landlord OF IA downtown restaurant
Just after an able-bodied colorcd man
had asked for meal and had been
told that he could have one If he
would earn it. Jimmy brought forth
banner whereon was painted the
restaurants advertisement. The col

slowly, 50 slow y that everybody on the
sidewalk might read it-around two
or three blocks for an hour and half,
the promise being that then he should
have good dinner.
Later in the day the reporter called
and was told that the colored man had
earned his dinner and eaten it. "These
applications have been constant fol

No Salt Lake or Ogden mail has
reached here for three DAYS. This is
owing to washouts on the Utah North
cru, near Logan. The lake over
flowed its banks, and washed away
about a mile of the road bed. A,

of affairs prevails, but the Central

1854 Per Hour to the Widows and Or.
pllans, in One Year.

A careful computation Of the pay
ments to policy holders Of the old
"Travelers," of Hartford, gives many
curious results. During the last year,
for instance, they gave the dead and
disabled members of its great family
s1,154, 900, or at the rate of $l5z per
hour to the widows and orphans, and
an aggregate of s9,00O,OOO since
their establishment.

"MlLLIONS IN IT."
A HALEY Crank who Thinks He Has an
Idea that Will Make His Everlasting
Fortune.

A Haley crank has an idea which,
he thinks, will make his everlasting
fortune. AS the rich are exceedingly
good patrons of dentists, nova days,
he proposes to disinter the bodies in
the cemeteries, extract the gold filings
in the teeth, and RENTER the remains.
AS he will not in lure the bodies in the
least, he anticipates no trouble, and
his process being patented he expects
to haze a monopoly of this new bust
ness. In order to induce the relatives
Of the deceased to consent to the ex-
humation, he will divide the profits
with them. He estimates that
there is an average of 500 worth OF
gold in the teeth of each person buried
after they have attained the age Of %
years, while the cost of extracting the
gold and entering will not exceed
SIS per corpse. There will therefor,
be an average of s95 profit on eacl
corpse, and the aggregate profit OF
the millions Of corpses in the GENE
teries will be enormous.
This idea must have escaped MARI
Twain and his partner when they
wrote the book upon which the pla,
of 'Uolonel Mulberry Sellers" il
founded.
