A TRUE STORY.
HEROIC SACRIFICE OF A NOBLE
WOMAN

Commander, after a Perilous and
Dangerous Ride OF Many Miles
through a Binding Snow
Storm, to the Niagara.
The commander of government post
on the Niagara river was. apparently, at
the point of death. His associates gath
cred around him, but neither they nor
the Post Surgeon could do anything for
his relief. His heart throbbed SO vio-
lently that every one in the room could
hear it beat. and the occasional spasm of
anguish that passed over his face showed
how much he suffered. At length one of
the officers spoke up suddenly: .
IL know OF an elderly lady who lives
many miles away. OF whose reputation as a
nurse and doctress have often heard.
] will bring her."
sAnd before any one could offer
approval or disapproval he was gone
That night the snow came down in clouds.
The wind had full sway and piled
the snow in drifts. But in spite of the
elements man and woman, mounted
on horseback. patiently toiled through
the storm. At length they reached the
post, and under the skilfully applied
remedies which were administered. the
officer was brought back to health. But
the effect of the storm and the exertion
of travel were too great. and Chloe Hib-
bard, who saved the life of another. was
stricken with total blindness Hers had
been peaceful life. She had loved
nature. and, in studying it, had discov-
cred natures remedies. She had loved
humanity and longed to relieve its suffer
ing. She had seen men and women
racked by rheumatism in all its forms,
and she had carefully studied to find a
means of relief. She succeeded in find
ing this means, and was gratifed by see-
ing hundreds of sufferers restored to
health. She realized that rheumatism
was the cause of most so-called heart
disease, and she saved many lives, just
at the point of death, as she did that of
the post commander. But she sacrificed
herself upon the altar of philanthrophy,
became blind and died unrewarded.
The remedy administered by Chloe Hib-
bard has long been known to the public
as Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup.

And the dirk that stabs in the dark.

The potion with stealthy tread.
And weapons both brutal and soft
For turning the quick into dead.

EMERY COUNTY.

Thousands Of Acres Of Coal. Asphaltum and

Already Done.

Emery county ranks fourth in the order
of the counties of Utah in increase in pop
ulation during the last decade, the census
showing an increase in its population of
1910. This speaks well for Emery county
and we predict more development for it
during the coming two years and a greater
increase in population than it had
during the past ten years. The rail
road building and improvements to be
made during the coming summer, and the
mines that will be opened up will bring a
great many people into the county. There
are thousands OF acres of coal, asphaltum
and mineral wax lands in this county which
are being opened up, and great portion of
which will be developed as soon as the new
road is built south from Price. Also north
east of Price, the new Denver company has
commenced work in its mines and is run
| ming large force OF men and teams, glling
a Denver contract of 1900 tons with as
phaltum for paving. This same company
| intends to open up mines on its coal land
and put in one to two hundred coke ovens.
AT Orangeville and Huntington we under
stand coke ovens will be erected at the
mines as soon as the road is completed, and
| before the end of the year we confidently
expect to see at least five hundred coke
| ovens in full blast in the county. With the

LOADED WITH BURGLARS TOOLS

On Thursday night a man and a young
woman went to the Albany hotel in the
western part of the city, and registered as
A. w. Murray and wife, of Denver. At
about o'clock yesterday afternoon Muir
ray went to Maeder's lumber yard, No. 336
West, Second South, and waiting until the
proprietor went out into the yard, slipped
into the Office and skipped with bag con-
tanning about SIS in silver. Mr.. Maeder
returned just as the thief was leaving
the Office and he gave chase. Murray ran
into the Albany and rushed into his room,
but when the proprietor got there Murray
had skipped. The woman, who gives her
name az Hannah Moore, waited at the hotel
for some time and then started out with a
lot OF valises. She went out towards
Fishers brewery, and about dusk Muir
ray called for her with buggy. They
then started for the Rio Grande Western
depot, and were metat that place by Officer
Tommy Daniels, who was waiting for
them. Daniels seized the horse by the bits,
when Murray hit him welt over the head
with the whip, jumped out of the buggy and
disappeared. The woman was taken TO the
police station, and in the valises was found
lot of chisels, skeleton keys and other
burglars tools. Murray is evidently pro
fessional crook and every effort is being
made to capture him.
