of them were drinking, and it would be
best to stop. A few minutes later he and
his two brothers went home. Next
morning he heard some talk to the effect
that they had stretched the 1rishman up
several times, but each time on being let
down he declared he was innocent; that
they finally let him go, and he was seen
to leave town next morning. This was
thirteen wears ago. The matter has been
revived in different ways many times,
but nothing ever came of it until the
Grand Jury, last September indicted
eight men for murder in the first degree:
They are Thomas A. Murphy, head OF
the firm of Murphy Bros, wealthy mer-
chants: J. II. Moore, a practising ply
sician and wealthy landowner, now at
New Iberip; 2. F. Murphy, a young
1eJrvar of high social standing; William
Tonder. a middle-aged farmer, now of
MARES county; NJ. 3. Wright, an extern
sive fruit grower, now in illinois, and D.
G. Tibbs, carpenter. These six have
been arrested and released on $1,000 bail
each. The indictment also includes
James Lavender and C. Shaw, whose
whereabouts are not known. The case
is to be called at Waynesville on Mon
day, and the entire country is excited.
The accused men say that the whole
thing is caused by spite and that there is
no evidence even that crime was COM
mitted. The air is full of rumors of SEN
sational evidence in the hands of the
prosecuting authorities.

A Dakota Board of Trade.

A member of the Cleveland Board of
Trade, who was in Dakota last fall, hap
pened in town on the line of a railroad
which had only one wheat elevator. In
conversation with the owner of the eleva-
tor, he enquired:
"Who makes the price of wheat here ?"
"Our Board of Trade" was the reply.
$50 you have Board of Trade, eh.?'
"Well, good enough one for such a
town as this"
"How many members?"
"Only two-myself and clerk. I'm the
bear and he's the bull, and between us
the market is kept pretty lively"
"But suppose the farmer doesn't want
to sell at your fgures?"
That never happens. Being we are
the Board of Trade, and own the only
elevator, and being as he is head over
heels in debt, and must have money, the
market may be quoted as steady."-WaH

Appropriate Slang.

Bilkins was addicted to slang, and his
wife didn't like it. One night he went to
party and made some bad break or
other, and told his wife about it.
My, N.Y. she said alphabetically,
"how did you feel ?''
You bet felt like house afre."
There you go again." she said
angrily. "Why don't you talk English ?
How do l know how you felt?"
Why, love, just said l felt like a
house afire."
"Well, how was that, I'd like oknow ?"
"Oh, just as if somebody ought to turn

1, the undersigned, am Sc years of age, and
came to Utah twenty years ago, and the hard
ships soon broke me down. 1 have tried your
most celebrated surgeons and physicians, some
of whom desired to operate on my womb, but
preferred natural death to so much suffering
and probable death after all: in fact none of
them seemed to understand my case, and after
doctOring for many years kept getting worse,
and when employed DR.. Foot, Jr was COM
plete wreck and almost dead. My troubles
were of so long standing that was afraid that
even DR.. Foot Jr., could not cure me. Although
he would not promise positively to cure me,
still he stated that he would try hard to cure
me, and thought that my chances were better
under specialists care than all of the family
physicians in the west. So l thought myself.
Ny disease was the same as thousands of other
women, and am not woman to give up easy.
You can depend on the statement that not one
woman in a thousand could have lived through
what have and now, in only about two months
treatment can truthfully say that l feel and
look like a new woman, and believe myself
practically cured, and have got my moneys
worth for certain, which no other doctor gave
me before. Now you sick and half dead ones,
don't delay in employing DR.. Foot, Jr. 1 am
having my daughters treated and sending all
my personal friends, and you can depend on
inst what the Doctor says. He won't lie for
little money; he don't have to. He has all
the patients he and his doctors can wait on;
and he treats the poor just as well as the rich,
and he has my good wishes and God bless him.

This is to certify that my wife was in a
wretched condition, troubled with Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaint Nervous and General Debility,
Heart troubles Female Weakness, etc, very
Weak Back Headache, etc. She was in a terri
BILE condition and had given up being cured,
and would not have doctors any more if DR..
Foot Jr., had not come to Salt Lake. He being
a specialist, had new hopes and more faith,
and when he looked at my wife and told her
just her condition it gave me renewed hopes,
and the Doctor said he was very certain that he
could greatly benefit her, if not cure her, and
as the Doctor talked good sense and seemed
skillful and honest, paid him all in advance,
telling him that now he would not have to
worry about his pay, and for him to do his best;
Now after few weeks treatment, must tell
my friends and the public, that never saw or
heard of such a wonderful improvement.
Everything the Doctor predicted has come true,
and she has gained in every respect, as much
no mistake about it, DR.. Foot, Jr., is just the
physician we have needed for many years in
Utah. Take my advice and give him your case
for treatment The Doctor will tell you as near
the truth as possible, is my firm belief.

This is to certify that while mining had a
piece of Stag driven in my eyeball just over
the sight, and that it was very painful and ter
ribly infamed, and was discharging a great
amount of matter before DR.. Foot took my case.
The Doctor removed the ore from my eye with
out destroying the sight, and in just six days
my sight is fully restored, the enlarged lids en-
tirely reduced and all inflammation cured. The
Doctor has made wonderful and quick cure.
1 never have seen or heard of such complete
cure in so short time. L expected he would
take three to six months to cure, and it has been
worth twenty times as much as he charged. 1

what Profit

The following words from the National
Stockman Farmer show a Just Rpprecia-
ton of the true value of a kind of profit from
the farm which does not appear in cash re-
turns
We are apt to measure success or failure
in anything undertaken solely by the cash
returns which it brings. In some things this
may be fair as for instance in a special in
vestment outside of ones regular occupation.
or in something foreign to oue's daily life.
But this is no Just measure of profit in the
tr1e sense OF the word, in other connections
The amount of surplus cash which the farm
er may have at the end of the year is only
single item in the profit of the year. His en-
tire living has been profit, as also has been
every comfort his industry has enabled him
to enjoy-every pleasure and every good af
forded to his famiy-every bit of satisfaction
derived from his labor-every improvement
in appearance or value of his farm buildings
"a hundred things not enumerable All
these make up profit, and the cash surplus
must be huge indeed if it amounts to ANY
Appreciable consideration in comparison with
these things. Let us all get above and out
side OF the idea of working for money alone
Accumulate if you can, but for the sake of
yourself and everything you reverence and
respect, do not, by worshipping it, and max
ing its requirement the end of all labor. make
the dollar curse instead of the blessing
it should become. Farmers need, as much
as any other class of men, to guard against
setting mp the false idea of profit in their
minds-Rnd in no class of men is it more out
of place or more TO be deplored.

ssoI. the Leaks.

Other ways in which great saving can be
effected Is in making needed repairs in sea-
son, TO barns, grRnRries and cellars. The
heat and storms OF spring aud summer are
quite sure TO open up places through which
rain and snow will ind their way into mows
and bins, and careful inspection should be
made during the pleasant autumn weather.

and there will be more complaining that
farming does not pay. few hours work
with hammer and nails on a sunny October
day on the roof of a barn, or around man
gers and grain bins, may be worth more TO

months mp 10 the time of harvest. A single
small leak in a roof over a NOV of hay or
grain will destroy in few hours what il was

wise farmer who does not let the profits Of
his summers work slip away from him in

Drunken Covs.

This years apple crop is so large that far
mers are at loss what to do with it. Bush
els Of the fruit are allowed to rot on the
ground. In some places apples are used as
bait for the unwRry finny tribe and in others
they are fed to cattle Not unnAturally the

COWS gloriously drunk Twenty cases of
bacchanal bovines are reported from South

apples, said Southbury farmer yesterday,
''the animal becomes frolcsome and stag
gers like drunken man. After a day OF
two it becomes stupid and lies down helpless.
1t takes several days for the intoxioation to
pass of" In view at this dire result it is
said tn at the legislature is to be petitioned
for salutary temperance laws to prevent
drunkenness among cows.-Neir HaUen
Mems
We hear complaints of drunkenness among
the COWS even here in Vermont, where the
laws against intemperance were supposed to
be perfected to the last degree; but lest the
noble fruit should come under the ban, we
interpose a doubt whether it ever turns to al 81
cohol in the living stomach of man or beast,
though something similar to drunkenness may
be produced by overlooking either. There
is such thing as intemperanoe in eating but
little better than intemperance in drinking.

Each farmer has, or should have, his own
methods for fall work, but few hints IN this
direction will not be out of place. The au-

plenty Of work looms mp before us at many
turns. Eastern farmers can now haul ma

should be placed in the barn cellar and wher-
ever the manure is deposited during the win
ter II is found very convenient to have such
materials as peat and leaves on hand all win

from heavy frosts. The wood lot also needs
attention, and it will be time we'll spent TO
gather fallen twigs, etc, TO be used for ire
wood, and heap up in places where II can be
easily obtained with a sled after snow falls.
A necessary work to be attended TO is the
thorough cleaning of farm tools and machines
which will soon be laid aside for several
months rest. These demand much care it
is a good plan to get out the paint brush and
give a good coating 10 the wood portion Of

The English sparrows have become very
numerous in some parts of this country, but
do not seem to increase very rapidly in this
section. Though large foeks have been
about the villages for several years, our win
tiers appear to check their fecundity. 1t is
said that ten pairs of English spsrrows were
let loose in Adelaide, South Australia, few
years ago and now they have probably p
100000, not spread over the colony, but
crowded into the settled districts, for they
feed almost entirely on the fruit and grain
produced by cultivation. recent letter from
Adelaide says
Tine sparrows are now busy picking of
the almond fruit buds as they swell, and the
peach, apricot and plum will be attended 10
in due course. Should any buds be spared.
the sparrows are early in their attention to
the ripening fruit, and the grain, before
ready for reaping, will be cleared by them.
In the sparrow we have an enemy far worse
than the red rust, locust OF Russians, and
what with the favorable climate, the alb.
sence of natural enemies and the immense
breeding grounds IN the ranges my impress
sion is that unless some effective remedy is
found the whole colony will, in less than
twenty years, be reduced TO a mere sheep
walk"
