NOTICE TO PRODUCERS AND MANUFAC-
TuRERS OE BUILDING MATERIAL.

Salt Lake city is experiencing an I'M
precedented growth, and from present indi-
cations more costly residences aud business
houses will be erected and more street i'm
provements made within tue next two
years than have been in the whole past life
of the city. In view of which the chamber
of commerce hereby calls public attention
10 the fact that Notwithstanding the variety
and extent of our natural resources we are
deficient and il-prepared to meet the ex-
isting and DISTINGUISHING demand for all
kinds Of buildings and street-improving
mater ais. We need additional plant and
machinery for the production or manufac-
rure of ornamental, pressed, and common
brick tile. sewer pipe, iron and wood pipe:
building stone. particularly cut and dressed
stone; line plaster of Paris, cement and
other materials for sidewalks and pave

recommend that persons familiar with and
engaged in the above and kindred lines of
business take immediate steps this winter
to supply the urgent demand for such pro-
ducts which is already upon US and in
creasing with every passing day. They
may be sure of growing market at re-

A DANCE OF DEATH.
Electric Wires in st. Louis Make
Things Lively.
HARRISON'S FIRST STATE DINNER.
and Eastern Schools = The
House and Senate.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. THE sudden adventof
rain, snow and sleet has transformed the
business section of ST. Louis into a grotto
OF scintillating icicles swinging from tele-
graph, telephone and electric light wires.
The wires were breaking frequently to-day
under the weight of ice, and pedestrians
We're busy lodging. The danger of break
Ing limbs on the sleety walks was not half
so near the public mind as the fear of death
from electric shock. Now and then wire
sagglng beneath the heavy weight of ice,
would touch another wire. Blue sparks
would fly for moment and
a shivering blue fame would succeed until
the fusing of the wires caused them to part
and fall to the sidewalk. Then the crowds
would scatter, falling over each other in
their anxiety to reach a place of safety.
Inc police are watching for fallen wires.
The electric light and telegraph and tele-
phone companies have men out repairing
the damage as rapidly as possible, but the
danger is still very great Two street car
horses were killed and their heads nearly
burned off this morning by an electric wire
which dropped across the track as the car
came along. There were fifteen passengers
on the car and they scrambled out in every
clrectlon, but no one was hurt

Murder of an Old Jew-Arrest of
Cattle King.

BERLIN, Jan. 7-Dowager Empress Au-
gusta died at 80.
The death of Empress Augusta was an
nounced to the people by lowering the i'm
perial standard from it's place over the
palace. The Empress passed away peace
fully, surrounded by all her near relatives.
AS the end came the mourners knelt around
her bed and the court chaplain offered
prayer and then blessed the remains. EN-
peror William and the Empress soon after
left the chamber. Early in the morning
the doctors perceived there was no hope of
saving the Empress life. She had suffered
from infiuen for three days and bore the
malady so>well that Monday night her re,
covery was looked upon as certain. But in
the course of the night pneumonia devel-
oped and presented crisis too great for
her remaining strength.
The Reichsanzeiaer says the Emperor and
the whole imperial family are in the deep
est affection at the sad event.
Emnress Augusta was born September
81. ISL. and was the daughter of the late
Grand Duke Karl Frederick of SaXe-Wei-
mar.

Rice Beats tine Standard oil Trust.

NEW YORK, Jan. fudge O'Brien to-
day gave Judgment in favor of George Rice
IN his fight with the Standard Oil trust.
Some months ago Rice purchased in the
open market five Standard Oil trust GER
tlhcates. He also received additional
shares as stock dividends on five shares.
The certificates remained in the name of
the person from whom Rice purchased
them and Notwithstanding repeated efforts
to nave them transferred to his name on
the DOCKS, the trust refused to comply with
his demands. Then he began suit in the
supreme court against John D. Rockefeller
and other trustees. The defense was
R1cs had not established his title
to the certificates and was hostile
TO the defendants, having purchased the
certificates for the purpose of harrassing
and annoying the trust; that Rice had in
| stltuted several suits to annoy the defend
ants, and had offered to drop proceedings
# the trust paid him S55O,0O0 for his oil re
tinery at Marietta, o. Judge O'Brien, in
giving Judgment in favor OF Rice. saws he
had established his right to become a
transferee under the trust agreement AS
to the suits against railroads and others.
the Judge holds that they were justified bV
unjust discriminating in freight At any
! rate, even it these suits were unjustifiable

Colorado Sues Her Ex-state Traasurers.

DENVER, Jan. THE attorney general
yesterday afternoon, on behalf of the
state, began suits against ex- State Treas
urers Nathan S. Culver, William G. San
ders, Fred Walsen, George r. Swallow
aud Peter w. Breen, together with their
bondsmen, for the purpose of recovering
the money which, it is alleged, these Off
Gals received as interest on state funds
loaned to different banks and for which
they failed to account to the state. The
amount sued for is not stated i'll tue com
plant, but it is believed the amount so re
ceived by each treasurer during the two
years term will reach nearly one hundred
thousand dollars. The suits are broughG Tor
an accounting and brings up the question
whether or not the state has right to de-
mand return of interest upon state FUNDS
held by them during their incumbency of
Office. The principal point involved in the
controversy is whether the state treasurer
is merely custodian for the state, or
whether, being absolutely liable for any
and all losses of state moneys entrusted TO
him, he becomes virtual owner of the
money to do with it as he sees fit until
called upon to expend it for state purposes
or to turn it over to his successor at the
expiration of his term of Office.

Retnrn of a Repentant Husband.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch1
CHATTANOOGA, Jan. Joel K. Brown,
who lived at Dayton, in this state, after an
exciting experience arising from his fond
ness for another woman, has returned
home and had reconciliation with his
wife. Up TO Friday last Browns infatua-
ton caused much scandal and his wife was
suffering humiliation until she could stand
it no more. She separated from him on the
following night while he was at the house
of the woman. What appeared to be five
women asked admittance This was de-
MED, and the vigor with which the visitors
assailed the doors and windows with axes
showed that they were far from being
females. Hastily dressing himselfin skirts,
the husband attempted to escape. He had
not gone far before he was captured and
brought back. He and the woman were
tied and whipped almost to death. When
Brown was released he fed, still dressed
in skirts. Yesterday he returned home
weak and sore, and begged forgiveness OF
his wife.

Sioux Indians and Eastern schools

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE Sioux chiefs
who are visiting the east appeared before
the House committee on Indian affairs to-
day. John Grass, who was chief spokes-
man, made an earnest onslaught upon the
practice of sending Indians to eastern
schools. Too few of the Indians could be
sent to schools in the east to have any
beneficial effect upon the general masses of
the Indians when they return to the res
ervations after finishing their education in
the east. More Indians should be sent to
reservation schsols, and these schools
should be improved. He was asked if the
Sioux were ready to accept land in sever
atty, and he replied that they were not,
and it would be about fifteen years before
before they would be ready
