A Dead Deer,s Kick.

1 saw a most beautiful game picture
this season while hunting with A. q.
Maynard on Vancouver Island. As ]
reached the summit of a mountain l saw
within fifty yards from me a flat, oval
rock, some ten feet across, covered with
bright green moss. In the center of this
NOISY couch a 2-yesr-old buck lay with
his left side toward me, his head erect,
his large eyes g~listening. / instantly
covered him with my rifle. Then the
true sportsman part of my nature came
up and prevented me from pressing the
trigger. I held the rife in position and

WNING THE N

A letter from Salt Lake City appeared
in the Chicago Herald of Thursday il
regard to affairs 10 the Mormon capital
which reveals a condition that demands
attention on the part Of fair minded PEG,
pie all over the Union. The main interest
of the communication has reference to
the efforts being made by resident geatiles
and carpet baggers to obtain control of
Salt Lake City at the coming municipal
election in February.
According to this correspondent the
city is flooded with real estate boomers
who find eastern people shary about in
vesting in wildcat lands in the neighbor
hood Of Salt lake on account OF the preiu-
dice against the local government. They
purpose to overthrow this government
and to substitute one of their own. To
bring this about they are resorting to all
kinds of rascalities. The carpet-bag ele-
ment has control OF the appointment of
the officers Of registration OF voters.

As TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT


The local amateur Of the Sun, who &C
quired a great deal of misinfornation
concerning figures while acting as treas
urer of the Hartville school district, dab
bles into the financial condition of the
city long enough to say: The taxpayers
of this city have made sacrifices enough
to make these splendid improvements
and maintain the city's financial credit
not to be misrepreseDted by their own
press, and it is very strange to say the
least that THE LEADER should make such
unwarraDted statements as appear in yes
terday morning ISSUE
The mayor and some members of the
city council are exceedingly irritable on
the subject Of the city's finances. They
and their newspaper henchmen have tried
to make it appear that they have accom-
plished enormous results with very little
means, while as a matter of fact better
results could have been accomplished
with less money. The grading of a few
streets In the city was as unnecessary es it
was extravagant and was unwnrranted at
Il time when every dollars expense should
have been saved to the taxpayers.
City Treasurer Kelley says that the
figures furnished by THE LEADER were
ABSOLUTELY correct, but tie only objection
made was the use of the. word "~expendi-
lures instead of disbursements" He
does not deny, for his books show it, that
the receipts for 1889 were 500, OBJ. &c
and that the ''disbursem ents" were S73,.
255,4s. $4,000 of which, as stated in
THE LEADER, being for improvements in
the city water works.
The case in a nutshell is simply this:
The receipts OF the year we're exceeded
Oy the disbursements by 81, 1882. OF
the disbursements for the year, which
wore S73,2 55. As, 81. 500 went to pay
debts contracted last year. However it is
figured out the matter resolves itself
down into this: that the city treasurer
paid out during the year more money han
he took in during the year.

Everybody believes hat Franklin was
the inventor and constructor of the first
lightning rod. In this one particular
everybody is mistaken. The first light
ming catcher was not invented by the
great philosopher, but by a poor monk OF
Seuttenberg, Bohemia, who put up the
first Lightning rod on the palace of the
curator of Preditz, Moravia, June 10,
1854. The name Of the inventive monk
was Prohop Dilwisch. The apparatus was
composed of a pole surrounded by an
iron rod, supporting twelve curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filled with iron ore and
lnciosed by n wooden box-like cover,
traverScd by t~wenty-seven iron pointed
rods, the bases of which found a resting
place in the ore box. The entire system
OF wires was united to the earth by a
large chain. The enemies of Dilwisch,

Every student of history knows that
the Spartans worshiped the beautiful
and the useful, and that they took the
means to get them. Bodily perfection
n mental activity were attained by
well appointed exercise and healthy pa
rents. The sickly and the constitutionaii-y
diseased were not allowed to marry; the
healthy were punished if they did not
marry. Men that were unmarried after
a certain age were excluded from the
society of women, and once a year were
exhibited in public as a warning to other
and younger men. Young men and
young women were not allowed to marry
before they had attained maturity or cut
loose from parental leading strings. This
Spartan system, which was purely for
the welfare of the state, was in force for
500 years, and no Drawer nor ong
men, no more healthy nor more beauti-
full women, were eve seen than in old
Sparta. Few would wish to see Spartan
ism revived in these days, but we may
learn some valuable lessons from that
ancient state.
We may also learn something from
our newly born sister republic, Brazil,
where there is a remarkable and self i'm
posed family custom in regard to mar
riages in the higher classes. The man
about to marry is required to furnish a
certificate from one or more physicians
that he is free from diseases If a certain
class, and that he is free also from all
signs of any Of the diseases that are
transmissible to the offspring, and fur
ther than this, the physicians must tes-
tify that so far as they can learn there is
no reaso to believe that the marriage
will be otherwise than in accord with
sanitary laws. We, as a people, are
taking more interest in the proper kinda
Of physical culture than before. Our
women are coming to know that they
a dress just as well without distorting
their bodies and imperiling their health.
But the day of the truly sanitary mar
rage is a long way off. Meanwhile a
great many people are getting married
that should remain single.

A description of the personal appear
ance of Washington, written in 1899, is
reprinted in The Pennsylvania Magazine
of History and Biography:
"Gen. Washington is now in the Nth
year of his age. He is a tall, well made
man, rather large boned, and has a toll
orally genteel address; his features are
mafly and bold, his eyes of a BLUSH cast,
and very lively; his hair q deep brown
his face rather long and marked with
the smallpox; his complexion sunburnt
and without much color, and his counte-
nance sensible, composed and thought
full; there is a remarkable air of dignity
about him, with a striking degree of
gracefulness."

Half ar hour later, as he was again
passing the same place, he was sur
prised to see the young woman stand
ing in precisely the same position.
This time he was sure he was not mis-
taken about the troubledloo upon her
face. Big tears of vexation slowly
crept down her cheeks and the end of
her nose, and her chin quivered in a
manner which betokened the near
ness of a good cry" The gentleman
being elderly and exceedingly kind
hearted abruptly paused and asked
the young woman if he could be of
any service to her.
"Ye-yes, sir; / think you can if
you will be so kind" was the reply,

with the prospect of freedom she was

crousness of the situation. "Ihave no

key and go around the house and come

mouth of the patient, who straight

Real work at Last.

The Chamber of Commerce, at its
meeting yesterday, took strong and sem
sible ground, and if the plan outlined
there is followed up Southern California
will at last be fitly represented at the
East, and an intelligent direction will be
given to the tide of immigration that can
be readily influenced to settle in Southern
California. The generous offer OF Presi-
dent Marvel, Of the Santa Fe Railway
Company, was thoroughly discussed.
The HERALD has frequently referred to
this railway msgnste's liberal protfer,
which embodies elegant and commodlous
accommodations in the Rialto building
in Chicago for an exhibit OF the products
OF Southern California the free traUspor-
tation thither of such articles as our
people deem it fit to send; and the pas
sage, free of cost, of such persons as may
be deputed to take charge of the enter
prise. Mr.. Manvel's idea is that this
should be distinctively Southern Cal
ifornia display, and that it should be
labeled as such, leaving out the names of
the localities. There is wisdom in this
suggestion. Quite large number of our
representative citizens we're present at
the meeting yesterday afternoon, and sn
excellent spirit was manifested. Mr.. D.
Freeman, of the Centinels, thought that
we should have an exhibit both in New
York and Chicago, and was OF
opinion that the scheme properly carried
out would cost from $1,000 to 81 $50 8
month. He volunteered to contribute
$40 a month towards the movement
Other members agreed that there ought
to be two Eastern exhibits; all we're ir
favor of one at Chicago, and others pre-
ferred Boston and Minneapolis or Mil
waukee to New York. Hon. E. f
Spence professed his willingness to con
tribute $500 a year for two years to hell
the plan along M. L. Wicks, Esq.
came to the front with tender of $40 {
month. 1t is calculated that Los An
geles's share of the sum to be raised, i
| the project is carried out on the scale
| suggested by Mr.. Freeman, would bt
$500 or 5000 monthly, the rest of tht
81 500 being contributed by the adjoin
ing counties. We have here at last {
proposition which will place Los Angeles
before the people of the East in 81
attractive and telling manner, and tn,
HERALD heartily hopes that it will b,
carried out on thorough scale. 1t is

The course of President Marvel ali
over this Southern country has been
marked by unstinted praises of the late
Citrus T air held in this city, and of the
country which could produce such an
exhibit. The Santa Fe Railway Com
pany, with its running mate, the Atlantic
& Pacific, can be of immense service in
settling up Southern California, and the
utmost energies of thsss corporations
will be directed towards that end. Ii
must be borne in mind that tho territory
adapted to producing the orange in per-
fection is very limited in extent all over
the world, and particularly 30 in tbs
United States. Even more limited are
the lands which can grow not only the
citrus fruits but the deciduous as we'll

Late Citrus Fair.
