Extract from minority report of Utah
Commission signed by John A McClernand
and A. b. Carlton made in 1855:
"Our conclusion from all evidence before
US, including our personal observation, is
that radical reform in the near future is
morally certain, anu that Young Utah viii
stand forth redeemed, regenerated, and dis
enthralled from the heavy burden that has
SO long rested upon the people"
Extract from Judge Boreman's speech
before the University graduates, Friday
June IA, 1889:
Utah has again been knoe king for admis-
sion into tho Union but the answer has
territory so that she will be at once adj
mitred into the sistertood OF states. let US
put our territory in training 50 that there
will be NO tsrnish on her name"
Extract from Judge Powers speech at
the grand Liberal rally, held the night Of
the county election, August 1889:
This Is emancipation day for Utah, the
day when the power Of the Peoples party
was broken and American principles tri-
umphed. To-day the shackles have been
struck from 900 people and they will
hencefor.h all vote and act as they DESIRE"
Extract from Colonel E. p Ferry's
speech at grand Republican rally held Sat-
urday night November 10, 1855:
Now we have instead hope that be-
fore the end of the first term of General
Harrison the people Of Utah shall lift them
selves from their fan atheism so that Utah
itself shall be found freed from religious
insanity . . She shall be found at the
gateway of the Rocky Mountains knocking
at the gates for admission into the Union
aud Congress shall answer, Open the
gates and let the bride come in and all the
people of, the United States shall say
amen.'"

The Electric Lights,

During the past three or four
nights the electric lights have not
worked at satisfactorily. They
went out altogether two nights, and
did not give a very good light the
other nights. This was owing to the
clogging Of the water wheel which
runs the dynamos, by ice and drift
wood. The debris accumulated a,
the wheel and jsmmed it SO that il
could not turn. When this happens
in daylight the debris car. be removed
but at night this is almost if not i'm
possible, and requires considerable
time. In the meantime the lights are
not avaible until the wheel can be
started again.

walked right into it. falling on his
face, and sustaining the injuries. He
managed to pull himself out of the
hole, and crawl back to the saloon
where hs was put to bed in bach
room and DR.. Brown was called.
The hole was only about four fes
deep. Had Mr.. Allen been an ole
man or woman the fall must hav
killed him. But 10 he is . stou,
hearty young man he had compare
lively lucky escape.
He is resting quietly to-day, an

Lots at Your Own Terms.

Ell. Craw & Co., a leading real
estate firm Of 239 Main street, Salt
Lake City, have recently placed on
the market the most beautiful ad.
dition to Salt Lake City yet plated.
1t is situated on the main line OF the
Utah s. Nevada Railway, which runs
hourly trains, and carried over 10000
passengers last summer. A depot
for the special accommodation OF resi-
dents of this addition is to be built at
Midway in the spring.
These lots are high and dry, and
water is abundant. They are 25x125
feet, and are offered at the low price
Of $50 per pair. The terms are as
easy as any ever given, to>wit: Il
cash down, and 81 per week for e
weeks. No interest. The title i!
perfect. The Motor line is within I
mile of this addition, and will there
fore soon be extended to it.
This is as good an opportunity o
securing few good lots "for a song
| as one could wish for. Only 81 down
and Fl per week. 1t seems as
almost everybody could afford to ba.
at least two.

any tribe of indians, that fact can be
asce,tained by some officer OF the
government who has access to oil the

3St per cent per annum. II this rate

A special feature of this association
is that the time in which expense may

shares should not mature during that

credited to them. This would greatly

He Does Not Remember That Wanamaker
Made Any Threats.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
WASHINGTON, July 10.-The attention
of Controller Lacy was called tonight to
the Bardsley statement made public in Phil
adelphia to-day that Mr.. Wanamaker de-
manded 500, 900 for his bogus stock In the
keystone Bank and threatened to close
the bank if that amount was not paid him,
and that President Marsh told Lacy about
the demand. Controller Lacy has no recol-
lection. that Marsh placed Mr.. Wana-
makers demand as high as S100, 900. He
says Marsh did tell him that an arrange
ment had been made whereby certain prop
erty ann cash were to be accepted by Mr..
Wanamaker and the stock surrendered.
Mr.. Lacey does not remember the value
placed upon the consideration, but thinks it
was between S25, 900 and $50, 900. He under
stood Marsh to say that the property was
not delivered at the time agreed upon, and
for that reason Wanamaker declared the
trade off This was the conversation as
near as he can remember it. He does not
remember that Marsh told him that Wana-
maker had ever made any threat as to the
closing of the bank. These conversations
between Controller Lacy and Marsh all
took place on or after the 10Th of March,
and the Keystone Bank was closed on the
Goth Of that month.

DOWN GOES ANOTHER BANK.
A LOUISVILLE PRIVATE INSTITUTION
CLOSES IT'S DOORS.

The Barring Brothers Panic . Few Months
Ago Caught It Short of Cash-The Bank
Never Recovered From the Shock-Other
Banks Safe.
LOUISVILLE, July 10.-Financial circles
received tremendous shock this morning,
when it was officially announced that the
Falls City Bank had closed its doors. 1t
was private corporation, and has been in
shaky condition since last fall,
when run was made on it by its deposit
ors The liabilities are about $431, 900; as
was placed at $500, 900. 1t is not thought
that the depositors will lose any of their de-
posits.
The bank officials this morning entered
into deed of assignment, conveying all of
its assets to the Merchants Trust Company
for the benefit of its creditors. The collapse
will have but little effect on local financiers.
A failure six months ago might have en-
tailed serious consequences and have
forced several banks to the wall. There is
q general feeling of confidence throughout
the local money market, and all the banks
can stand the slight run that may be caused
among their depositors by the failure.
The history of the banks embarrassment
dates from the beginning of the panic which
spread over the country last fall in conse-
quence of the Barring Brothers complica-
tions, and the collapsed of the Argentine Sc
curities. Though ably managed, the Falls
City Bank had got very low in its cash
when the tidal wave broke over the
country, and rumors of its shaky condition
having been circulated throughout business
circles, there was a steady withdrawal Of
deposits The local banks came to its as
sistance and tided it over the crisis, but since
then the institution has gradually weakened
and the collapse came to-day.
