Is not d river or lake but has calamity
resultant from the fact that when
strong swimmer went out to save sink
ing man, the drowning man clutched
him, threw his arms around him, pin
toned his arms, and they both went down
together. When you are saving a man in
the water you do not want to come up By
his face; you want to come up By his
back. You do not want him to take hold
of you while you take hold of him. But,
blessed be God, Jesus Christ is so strong

around Him the arms of our love, and

watch for the moment when he begins to
breathe again, and when at last he takes
one full inhalation, and opens his eyes
upon the by-stauders, a shout of JOY
rings up and down the beach. There is
joy because a life has been saved. O.,
ye who have been swamped in the seas of

Would that this might be the hour when
you begin to live. The Lord Jesus Christ
steps down, he gets on His knee.
He puts His lip to your Zip, and would
breathe pardon and life and heaven into

is strange thing that the possibilities of

they are, should have been so long over

that without a protest there should have

moval Of the Southern Utes provision Civ

ton, the Sierra Ia Sal for a pasture. The
Sierra, with its woods, its rushing waters,
its beautiful meadows is d small principal

every sense. If converted to the use of
settlers, the region could support LOCO

than California, its uplands are dream of

Mormon Utah should seek cause for war
against a neighbor, that outrage would
amply justify her Trouble and bloodshed
would be the result of such action, as hand

THE CAPITOL HILL RESERVOIR.
The Work to be Commenced at Once and Water
Stored

DbOItus
The Capitol Grounds commission had an
other very interesting meeting yesterday.
There were present Messrs. West, Mar
shall, Stanford and Smoot. A committee
from the city council, consisting of Mayor
Armstrong, MesSrs. Weber, Teasdel and
Clark, waited upon the commission in order
to have concerted action, in accordance
with the previous arrangement between
the commission and the council regarding
reservoir on Capitol Hill.
After preliminary discussion it was de-
cided to begin work at once upon a reser
vOir to hold 100000 gallons and to lay
six or eight inch Horton wood pipe to con-
meet the reservoir with City creek.
TWAS expressly understood that only the
surplus water of City Creek could be used
and as this would not take from the city
any water they could use it would be the
means of saving what otherwise might only
run to waste.
Mayor Armstrong and Chief Ottinger on
the part of the council and Mr.. Stanford
on the part of the commission were APP
pointed as a committee with full power

and water pipe thereto, let contracts for
the building of the reservoir and laying
WatefplpeS.
The city council, almost to man, see eye
to eye with the commission in the neces-
sity of a reservoir for the Capitol grounds
In view of past experience in obtaining a
water supply the only solution possible
seems to be storing water during the seastn
when there is a surplus. The commission
have worked perserveringly to obtain the
cooperation of the council. On Tuesday, in
company with the mayor and several mem
bers of the council they visited the ground
selected as a site of the reservoir, which
lies north and east of the Capitol grounds.
The general verdict was that the site was
good one. A preliminary survey had
previously been made by order of the COM
mission, and it was evident that the work
was practicable The action of the council
Tuesday night was the reward of the com
mission.
Secretary Blair was instructed to adver-
tise for plans for a capitol building to cost
100000 when completed; with specified
wing or porto that could be erecte in tt e
near future that would not exceed 800, GOO,
and to offer $500 for the best plan as selected
by the commission. The plans are all to be
in by November /.

CoNovER BROS. & BEHYING PIANOS.

The stride which the COnOver Brothers
piano is making in the favor of the public
is one of the surprises to musicians. They
can understand that so glorious an instru-
ment should take the lead, but that in the
face of such long standing preiudices in
favor of other instruments, it should leap
at Il bound into the highest place in the
public favor is the thing that surprises.
That it has done so, however, is the fact.
This piano, which is represented here by
Messrs. Taggart & Chamberlain, has taken
the same position in Utah that it has as
sumed elsewhere. At their warehouse, 156
E. Third South, they carry large stock of
these pianos, which all interested are cor
daily invited to visit and examine. For
sweetness of tone, elasticity of touch, vol
ume and excellence of workmanship and
adaptability to wear, it is unsurpassed,
while the price will be found to compete
with others where the workmanship and
finish are of medium grade. The same firm
represent the Behning pianos, one of the
best in the market. The workmanship and
the finish on this piano is also tirst-class,
and he is hard to please who will not be
satisfied with the tone, touch, volume and
beauty of design of the Behning. They
carry also medium pianos, and those want
ing good instrument at bedrock prices
will save money and secure the best by
visiting the piano WareroOms of Nessrs.
Taggart & Chamberlain. They also carry
a fine lot of stools, covers and other articles
that accompany the piano.

The Real Short Line.

There is a great deal of talk just now
in the papers about "Short Lines" to
this, that and the other point. From
some of the claims put forth, the public
would get an idea that the railroad hav-
ing the least mileage between two given
points is the "Short Line" beyond
question. But is it? Is no account to
be made of time, comfort, or accOmmO-
dations? Is not the true "ShOrt Line"
the one which makes the best time, has
the smoothest roadbed, and furnishes
the best accommodations? If these
considerations have any weight, it will
be found that 1.-The Burlington" is the
real Short Line from the Twin Cities to
Chicago.
The mileage is little more than that
of one or two of the older lines, but 1t
makes the best raining time, is the
only light-grade thoroughfare, and has
an equipment unequaled for elegance
and comfort.
The first train over the line, Oct. "a
1856, made the run from st. Paul to
Chicago in eleven hours and ten min
utes; st. Paul to La Crosse. Nov. 5, 132
miles, in I25 minutes-time that has
never been equaled or approached.
The idea that THE Burlington" is
longer line than others is totally errone-
Gus. Travellers will find it the Real
Short Line.

THE COLON CASE.

County Attorney Jamison, in a dis
cussion that took place yesterday in the
Colon case over signatures of MI.
Blaisdell, expressed a willingness to
have every signature of the latter that
could be procured 90 into the trial. AS
an earnest of this he handed over TO the
defensea big bundle of checks and other
papers signed by MI. Blaisdell. Judge
Shaw received the package with pro-
fuse thanks, and commenced the work
of examining them at once one by one.
To-day he will probably be able TO re-
port how many tremors he found in
them.
&C. Curtiss will take the stand again
this morning and will probably be fol-
lowed by Mr.. Hagen, of Troy, n, Y,
another expert on the part of the state.
The state will hardly close the case to-
day but will probably do so tO-mor-
row. 1t is likely that the defense will
consume all of the remainder OF the
week, and then will come the evidence
in rebuttal, which will probably be
quite lengthy and require the presence
of a number of witnesses who have not
vet been in the case. 1t is likely that
the defense will attempt TO show that
Mr.. BlaiSdell was mistaken as to his
whereabouts on different days III June
and July last.
Everybody is on tIptoe for some SEN
satiOn. which, it seems to be expected,
the defense will create when it gets at
its side of the fight. 1t is noticeable
fact that confidence IN Mr.. COllom'S
ultimate acquittal is not as widespread
and general as it was before the trial
commenced, but this is. no doubt, largely

closed its case. Probably when the de-
Tense gets we'll into its side of the con-
test there will be another change of
sentiment.
The expense Of the trial is going to
be something enormous, and it will
make nice little bill for the county to
foot. No estimate can be made at pres
ent, but it will probably not fall short
of $4,000 before it is ended, paTticu-
larry if the accused is convicted and the
ease goes to the supreme court.
