St. Paul's Carnival Abandoned.

At meeting of the winter carnival
directors in st. Paul the other after
noon it was decided to have no ice
palace this winter. They were
forced to this step by the unsea-
.sonable weather. The carnival of
last year was abandoned for the same
reason, and it is said no further at
tempts will be made in the future to
build palaces of ice.

American dentists are the best in the
world. In truth, the system of dental
surgery was chiefly developed in Amer
lea So good is our reputation in this
respect that there is in Europe a society
called the German Association Of Ameri-
can Dentists. At their recent meeting
in Berlin there were some suggestions in
paper read by DIR. Richter. of Bres-
lau, that would be useful to Americans,
If they would heed them. DIR. Richter
said; 1--WE know the whole method of
correctly caring for the teeth can be
expressed in two words-brush, soap.
All preparations that contain salicylic
acid are hurtful to the teeth. He who
will carefully brush his teeth at bed
time, using the English white CASTLE
soap, and will further cleanse them by
passing silk thread between the spaces,
rinsing his mouth thoroughly from the
soap with water containing a little oil
Of peppermint, will fill exactly the Ger
man ideal in the way of caring for his
teeth. The dentist who will induce his
patients to care for their teeth in this
way will be the benefactor of his race,
IN the judgment of honest DIR. Richter.

We have not single one in the United
States. France has her ribbon and
cross of the Legion of Honor for both
men and women who have greatly dis
tinguished themselves. and French
man would risk his life joyfully for a
chance of this coveted prize. 1t has
filled with new Ii ght the glazing eyes of
many a dying man. Great Britain has
a number of orders of merit so has Ger
many; so have most other civilized ma
tons.
The United States has nothing, abso-
lutely nothing, beyond a sort of honora-
BILE mention for private soldiers who
have distinguished themselves. Con-
gress can give vote of thanks to one
who has done service to his country,
or it can bestow a sum of money on his
widow and children. But ribbon, a
star, a cross, something that would be a
tasting symbolic the country's apprecia-
ton of service Loyalty done, we have
not for anybody.
Congress ought to supply this want,
for it is want There is nothing snob-
bish, nothing that savers of aristocracy
and effete despotisms in the idea. The
United States ought to have a govern
ment order of merit of some kind to be
bestowed for distinguished services in
science, in art. philanthropy. or war.
The emblem of such order would be pre-
served with noble pride among the de-
scendants of those who had won it. 1t
would be in all time am incentive to great
deeds,

\ notable character passed away when
DR.. John Joseph Doellinger died of La
grippe in Munich. He was nearly 81
years old. A Roman Catholic priest,
he had advocated radical changes i'm the
policy of that church from his youth.
He was very learned, and published
books on history and politics. One of
his favorite ideas was the complete sepa-
ration of church and state, which he adj
vocated eloquently with tongue and pen
for years. At length, during the ecu
menical council that finally established
the decree that the pope should he infal-
lible in matters of church and faith, DIR.
Doellinger came to open issue with the
church. He claimed that papal infalli-
bility was contrary to the ancient faith
and traditions of the church, and refused
to submit to it. In 1871 he was excom-
inundated. A number of those sharing
his belief went him and founded the
church Of the Old Catholics, so called, to
which DR., Doellinger remained faithful
till his death. la his last hour he re.
fused to partake of the Roman Catholic
sacrament.

A measure is to be introduced into the
Quebec parliament proposing to give a

containing twelve children of the same

members objected to this on the ground
that it would entail great expense on

hundreds of families that had twelve
children and not few twice twelve.

From Salt Lake TO Morgan,


While we hear so much talk
abOut the boom and business devei-
opment, and the diverting Of trade
to salt Lake City, Il seems strange
that men Of public spirit have lot
looked to the opening Of a road con-
Meeting Morgan with salt Lake.
For years this project has been
talked Of, but has ceased with the
worly effort.
By the opening Of this road the
largest part Of the trade Of Morgan
County would be turned toward
salt Lake, whereas it now goes elst-
where. 4 good road now runs up
City Creek canyon the greater por-
ton o. the way 10 the summit. -
that a considerable amount Of labor
would not he needed on that side.
The main task would be at the head
Of Undesirable canyon on this SHE.
That would ice an easy matter, and
the work could be made with plJN
aud scraper. The Oltside cost "a
the two counties would he SE.OJI.
Tie timber alone, which could tc
reached on the Morgan side, would
pay for the rOai. Thousands %
loads are now lying on the ground,
rJtting.
To the merchants Of Sal. LAX,
the trade Of Morgan County l.
worth a great deal-en0ush 20 pay
for the making aud keeping in r.
pair Of a good wagon road.
Small fruits thrive ia Morgan
County and are two 10 three weeks
llier than in Salt lake Valley.
The straw Jerries arr d better flavor
than in the lower valleys. Goose
berries, currants ami Tlspberrig-s 30
well, aud vegetables are abundant.
4 road up City Creek and down
Hlriscrab1ie Canyon would place
east and west POrterville within
twenty miles Of salt lake City, and
Morgan City within twenty five
miles. Thus by a three hour
drive the people Of Morgan could
reach salt Like II this rJai were
constructed.
Soaking showers have visited
Morgan County during the past
week, injuriug the cut hay, auI
causing much Of the grain 10 fall.
