Sad News.

District Attorney N. NJ. Ruick,
while in attendance at the Supreme
Court in Boise City, received tele
gram from Los Angeles, forwarded by
his wife, that their son Robbie was
dead. The message stated that Mrs.
Ruick would start at once, with the
remains, for home (Hailey). Mr..
Ruick passed east this morning and
will reach Ogden tonight, where he
expects to meet Mrs. Ruick. They
will probably reach HALEY Thursday
and bury their child here.
Robbie Ruick was about a year old
at the time of his death. His mother
took him to Los Angeles some weeks
ago, hoping the change of mir and the
warm climate of Southern California
would prove beneficial to his health.
The consequences have terminated
sadly, and the bereaved parents have
the sympathy of all who know them
on Wood River.

In From the Japan.

For several hours this morning two
men were seen, from this city, making
their way down Carbonate hill. They
followed the ridges as much as posi-
BILE, but were often seen wallowing in
the snow nearly up to their shoulders.
About noon they succeeded in reach
ing the Bullion road, where they were
met by TINES reporter who discov-
cred that they were J. B. Ritchey and
William Huffaker. They left the
Japan mine early this morning, where
they have been for nearly two weeks.
They have been working there with
Louis Hanson, whom they left & t the
mine. They report deep snow up on
Carbonate hill but no damage to per-
sons or property from avalanchcs.
They will return to the mine with pro
visions as soon as possible.

THE SACRED HEART ACADEMY.
A Fayorite and apidly.Gr0wing Edu.
cati mai Institution.

The Sacred Heart Academy, of
Ogden, Utah, is une xcelled as an ed
vocational institution. A corps of
competent teachers, whose chief aim
and study is the imparting of knowl-
edge and to prepare pupils for the lot
which they are destined to fill in the
world; many of its pupils have already
honorably filled and faithfully dis,
charged the important duty of teach
ers. AS healthy institution it pos
sesses rare advantages; located on an
elevated plat of ground near the foot
hills, with lofty and perfectly -venti-
lated study halls, class-rooms and dor
mitories, sickness, with the exception
of colds, is not known there. All
children receive practical education,
and receive special attention In the
art of house keeping, which includes
"order and neatness of apartments,
darning and mending, circle and cul-
mary art"
The number of boarders has been
constantly increasing every year, the
number enrolled at present being
about 100.
The buildings are roomy, healthful
and safe, with secure and easy exits,
which preclude all possible danger Of
accident in case of fire.
The course of studies embraces all
the English branches, to which are
added the natural sciences, philoso'
ply, languages and music. The
academy is thoroughly graded, each
branch of study being taught in a
practical way. 1t includes from the

literature, bookkeeping, mental phil
osophy, chemistry in its application
to hygiene, etc.
French and German are taught by
natives of France or Germany, Latir
by a graduate of one of the first col
leges of Europe.
Vocal and instrumental music
painting and drawing from blocks t.
oil paintlng) etc, are also taught.
The academy is being rapidly en-
larged, owing to its growing patron
age. This evinces that it is ampl,
worthy of support.
Ogden is connected with all the
States and Territories North, South
East and West by FIVE large railroads
and for parents living at distanc.

A DISASTROUS SNOwSLIDE.
Five Men Reported Buried Near the
H0mestake Mine ON Lake Creek.

Word was brought into Ketchum,
to-day, that large slide had occurred
on the Homestake mining ground, To-
Gated about five miles north of that
town on Lake Creek, and that Harry
Frost, Pat Burns and three other me n
were caught in it and buried beyond
possible recovery alive.
Immediately upon the receipt Of
this news party was made up at
ketchum and went out to search for
the bodies of the men reported
killed.
The Homestake mine was purchased
some time ago by J. o. Swift and
Harry Frost. Frost was thought to
have been alone on the property, but
it seems from the meagre news re-
ceived that other men working on
Lake Creek abandoned their lnse-
cure homes on the mountain sides,
during the severest part of the storm,
and sought shelter with Harry Frost,
thinking his quarters safe from slides.
A TINES reporter sought J. o.
Swift, this afternoon, and that gentle.
man thinks Frost and Burns were the
only men at work, or living on the
creek, at the time Of the accident.
Doctor Higgins, County Coroner,
was notified of the accident this af-
ternoon, but will not go up to Ketchum
until the bodies Of those who may
have been killed are brought in.
LATER p. N.
A telephone message just received
from Ketchum states that - Peters

Weather Indications.

The barometrical indications late
last night were favorable to = change
for pleasant weather, but this morning
the mercury had fallen several points
and has been going down slowly, but
steadily, all day. More snow may be
almost surely looked for during the
next "a hours, with some wind.

From Snake River.

Snake River reports say flat the
storm in that section was not severe
enough to cause any serious damage.
Last Friday about eight inches of snow
fell which entirely disappeared the
day following, being taken off by a
warm rain. Stock in the vicinity
of Glenn's Ferry is all right, feed be-
ing both plentiful and good.

than through the alimcntary canal.

On Thursday evening of this week
friends of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of this city, will give a public
entertainment at HALEY Theater---an
advertisement of which appears in this
issue of the TINES. On that occasion
there will be an interesting feature of
the entertainment not mentioned in
the program. 1t is the dancing of the
Virginia Reel by three young couples.
The ladies will be dressed in We an
cient mode, while the gentlemen will
don the apparel of the dudes of long
go-slippers with loud buckles, fam
cy stockings, knee-breeches, and
swallow tail coats half hidden beneath
preponderance of futed and lace
trimmed collars. This minuet dance
will undoubtedly be worth the price
of admission.

Chester-is now nearly ready for re-
hearsal by the actors. The second
play will be the Lady of I.yons-rather
difficult piece for amateurs to at
tempt-but past success of home tai

almost anything.

CoNvIcTs' WHIMs.-"Tho boys adopt
various methods for passing away the time"
remarked 4 state prison officer. "Chicken
Welch," who, with three other prisoners,
escaped from the institution last summer
by scaling the roof of the south wing, but
was captured, has hit upon an idea which
apparently interests him greatly. He is
initiating Harry Jennings and is raisi n s
rats. He has got about half dozen at
present. 1t is amusing to see him as he
passes to and from his cell to the shop
where the men stay during the day. His
rodent companions, which are quite large
put their heads out of his pockets and if
there is no one very near they will run up
on his shoulder nd even on top of his head.
They are very t me and seem to affection
ately regard the convict, who is certainly
very fond of his pets. He is learning them
to perform several interesting feats. When
Harry Jennings was resident at the in
stitution, under Warden Haynes, he bred
mice, and bad at one time in the cellar,
under the clerks Office, about four hundred
of these little creatures, some of which
we're white, some black, brown, and some
mixture Of three colors. Descendants of
Jennings mice are quite numerous in the
prison, not few of the convicts having one
or two specimens. The men enjoy the com.
panionship of these vermin and prize them
highly. The prisoners, however, who are
the fortunate possessors of canary birds do
not take kindly to the mice. e."-Boston Globe

BUYIEG A WIFE.

Ellis Thompson, wealthy farmer, living
about mile from Ocean Grove, N. j., had
long loved Katie Carson, q pretty girl oi
Red Bank, but he could not win her in the
usual way, SO now he has bought her from
her husband, and taken possession other as
his wife, together with her two children.
Six years ago Farmer Thompson and Hiram
Satterlee were rivals for the hand of fair
Katie. Thompson was rich, ugly and forty.
Satterlee was twenty-five, handsome and
poor. Satterlee won the girl and married
her. They lived, until week ago, in lit
tie house along the railroad near Deal lake.
Satterlee was employed on the New York
and Long Branch road, but intemper-
ance has ruined him, and he has given but
scanty provision to his family. Lately
Thompson saw how poor the family was,
and how the woman he loved was being
ili.used by her husband. His sympathies
went out to the injured wife, and he longed
to take her to the house he was building on
his farm, and which was 80 rapidly nearing
completion. How to overcome the insur-
mountable difficulties which seemed to pre-
sent themselves was the one question in his
mind. At length he had a happy inspira-
ton. He would buy her. When he broach-
ed the subject to Mrs Satterlee she received
the proposition with fewer scruples than he
had expected; she appreciated his solicitude,
and if she could not return his affection, her
gratitude would go long way towards it.
The question now arose as to whether the
husband would make a reasonable bargain.
Mr.. Thompson went to the house and
broached the subject. Satterlee thought at
first it was joke, but when he saw Thomp.
son was in earnest he became serious, and
finally offered to sell his wife and children
for 5000. MIR. Thompson put down the cash
at once. That night Satteree left for New
York, and the woman and children are now
living with Thompson in comfort and hap
piness.

The hail that fell into the Cussewago caused
