The Building Going On-General and Per-

Mr. A. NJ Swan left here Tuesday even
ing to accept position in the z. c. Nj. l.,
Salt Lake city.
Mrs. E. A Williams arrived home last
evening, after six months visit among
friends in Arizona. The lady is well and
has enjoyed herself much while on her
visit.
Business in the building line still con-
tinues brisk. The brick work on the resi-
dence of E. w. Layton will be commenced
in few days. This will beautify one more
vacant lot.
The towers on the city hall and academy,
with huge volume of smoke issuing from
Galbraith & Co.'S steam roller mills, in the
distance, cause travellers from the north to
think they are within the confines of q
great metropolis. Such a thought might
lead them astray, but we will get there.
A party of surveyors are at work north
of here making prospective survey for a
canal, which is intended to run through this
county. Let it come; there are no people
that will appreciate better water supply
more than the people of Davis county, the
people of Kaysville in particular.
What might have been very serious &C
Cldent occurred last Monday evening.
While Mrs. Bond. wife of Frank Bond, was
driving home in her buggy her horse be-
came frightened and ran away. The lady
was thrown violently to the ground, but
fortunately escaped uniniured, except a
few bruises about the head and face. The
buggy and harness are a wreck.
The members of the family of Mr.. John
Bonnemort are now improving, after their
long and very serious sickness. Miss Car
RE Burton, after a seige of ten weeks, is
now able to walk in the sunshine in front
of her home for a short time each day.
Miss May Hudson is also improving slowly.
We regret to announce the death Of Mrs.
Septimer Layton, which occurred this al
ternoon. a few days ago, while Mrs. Lay
ton was taking walk in a field adjoining
her home she was seized with a paralytic
fit, and was unable to get back to her home.
Her family becoming alarmed at her alb
sence commenced a search, and it was
midnight before they were able to find her.
The unfortunate lady in her sad condition
had watched the search being made for
her, but was unable to utter sound to tell
her whereabouts. From that time she
never rallied, and to-day death came and
relieved her of her sufferings. She leaves
large family to mourn her untimely end.
Mrs. Layton is an old time resident of this
place, and by her many deeds of kindness
won the esteem of all who knew her. The
family and many friends have the heartfelt
sympathy of the community in their be-
reavement K.

FRONT OF DRY BOX.

A drying box on this same principle may
be constructed in which to place soap. In
such case the door should be provided with
a lock and key, and its top should have two
inch tin tube connection with kitchen flue. so
that the soap smell may be drawn out of the
room. In this way the soap would become
very dry and hard, and could he more eco
nomically used. The advantage of having a
convenient place for this material, which is
50 difficult to store in large quantities because
of the odor which is attached to its presence,
will be appreciated. II soap were purchased
by the box, placed in one of these drying re-
ceptacles, expenseiwould be saved both on ac-
count of the reduction in cost of the original
purchase and its more economical use because
of its being hard and dry from being stored
The dry box first mentioned is particularly
attractive because of the air of neatness which
it adds to kitchen. 1t affords a convenient
and proper place in which to put things
Articles which should be put in dry box are
commonly placed under kitchen sink or in
some out of the way place where they do not
dry, and hence often become musty. If ex-
posed to view they are unsightly; otherwise
they are never dry. L. H. GIBSON

A Kitchen aDrv Box. +"

a kitchen dry box is small receptacle for
drying scrub rags, scrub brushes and other
kitchen articles of that character It is a
box which is fastened to the wall near the
kitchen range One inch auger holes are
bored through its top and bottom and shelves,
and thus there is passage of warm air up
ward, through and out of the box at all times
when there is heat in the kitchen range In
this way great many unsightly articles
which naturally belong to the kitchen may
be put out of sight and at the same time be
preserved in good condition. The front of
the box is provided with door. The cut

the door open. On one side there are hooks
There is shelf at the top and compartments

Malarial Fever-RailWay Talk-General News
of the Prosperous Town.
A bad type of malarial fever infects this
district. Two persons have died from its
effects, and upwards of a score have
suffered nearly to deaths door in conse
auence of it. 1t is difficult to state with
any degree of precision the cause Of this
malady Some think the condition of our
water bitches, which are nearly level in
some places, impreguaUed with decaying
organic matter carried from the canon in
the late summer freshets, is the ci-use.
RAILROAD TALK
is the absorbing topic at present. Meet
ings have been held to consider the most
feasible plan of inducing the Little Giant "
when it dons its new suit-the wide track
to come within our borders. Why both the
roads-the now Union Pacific and the Rio
Grande- should have given Spanish Fork
the cold shoulder by locating their depots
so remote from this prosperous and enter
prisiug burg, with all its present facilities
and future prospects, is, at least, very
strange. When it is considered that this
district raises more grain, and therefore
exports more, than any other three towns
in this county-saying nothing of the i'm
mense quantities of tubers, fruits and other
products-the thought CT their short
sightedness develops into a marvel. 1t
appears now, however, that the Little
Giant has grown tai enough and
sensible enough to discover the fruit
fulness of our soil, the great area
of our district, the prosperity of
our citizens, based on economic progress,
and, last but not least, the vast latent
wea tn and the extraordinary facilities for
manufacturing.
The citizens of Spanish Fork to unit,
are not unmindful of the Importance, pres
emit and prospective, of getting better ac-
commodations. Our city fathers have
offered the right of way through the city,
also whole block for depot In addition
to this the merchants have agreed to
freight their goods and produce on their
line for three years and the citizens have
agreed to grade $4,000 cubic yards of dirt.
As our trade-imports and exports-is
chiefly with the cast, it is plainly seen
that the advantage to the road and settle
men will BE- mutual. Heretofore, the bulk
of cur commerce mas been carried on the
Union Pacific, because of it being nearer
and more accessible, especially in the
winter season. The vast amount Of freight
brought in and sent out will reasonably be
given TO the nearer approach. Last year,
lucerne seed alone to the amount of $50, 600
was shipped This year there win be an
increase of at least 30 per cent. One firm

Truth is stranger than fiction. and when
next you hear or read an impossible story, in
stead of exclaiming, like well known au-
thoress to the narrator at a London dinner
party, go it, Ananias," you had better
quietly observe, 81 suppose it's true" Any
how, we are apt to scout the stories of women
who have concealed their sex the better to
perform doughty deeds Of valor, and lol here
are French statistics, with their dry facts,
coming to prove that what novelists and poets
have written has not been evolved from their
inner consciousness, but from the romance OF
history Thirty -four French women have
been decorated with the Legion of Honor
since the order was instituted, and of these
seven distinguished themselves on the battle
field. Two women soldiers were decorated
under the first empire, one having dressed as
a man to replace her delicate brother, her sex
only being discovered when she was wounded
after attaining the rank of sergeant The
second heroine took to fighting because she
liked it, and distinguished herself at Yem-
maper, Austeritz and Jena. Save for one
brave vivandere, there was a blank from
1915 to 1851, and then came more military
women, whose exploits would read like an af-
ter dinner story Whether these women were
or were not thus unsexed by abandoning their
proper sphere is not the point at all; the fact
remains that women have military qualities
capable of efficient training should need arise;
and in a country where the perils of war, the
lack of an army and the volunteer question
are being debated it is just as well to recog-
nize the fact that if national questions are at
stake it becomes perfectly possible TO double

An Old Time Clock.

Talking about expensive and odd clocks, ="
remarked clock maker the other day, 81
have one here making few repairs that has
but one duplicate in this whole western coun-
try" He showed the works of an ancient
Dutch timepiece made in Amsterdam be
tween one aud two hundred years ago That
clock, he resumed, belongs to Mrs. Anthony
Hinkle, of Mount Auburn. DR.. W. W. Seely
of Fourth and Broadway, has almost its coun-
terpart. There are some slight differences,
but hardly enough To distinguish them, ex-
cept to a clock maker What are they worth 2
Well, perhaps the original cost was not over
$500 or 5000, hut I'll venture to say that
81 900, perhaps $1,000, wouldn't buy either
one. Each clock is i'll an apple wood case, of
very rich finish and workmanship. Their
chief charm lies in their antiquity, the old
grandfather's clock style. They stand about
nine feet high"
He then turned the works toward the re
porter Everything about the face of the
clock bore the imprint OF its Dutch origin.
There were little quaint figures marking tho
hours. A fat faced jolly moon with the
proverbial man in it peeped over the horizon
of a painted sky just above the dial
Ever since the clock was first wound I'D
this moon has accurately shown the phases
of the lunar planet. In the center of the
dial were openings that showed in ancient
Dutch lettering the day of the week and of
the month and the month itself Below this
were two quaint Dutch figures, the one repre-
senting Monday being female dressed as
a washerwoman, while the month was rep
resented by an equally typical figure
Every half hour the clock strikes on pc
culiarly toned bell, and the hour is struck on
another bell of still different sound Each
half hour, too, the clock plays one of twelve
different tunes on chime of bells, and the
melody is peculiarly soft and fascinating
The mechanism of this musical contrivance is
similar to that of an ordinary music box. the
tunes being arranged on a cylinder, which, in
revolving, operates on a series of trip ham
mers which in turn strike the bells-Cincin.
