BOILED ALIVE.
Terrible Death of a Small Child
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
The infant son of Mr.. Schmidt, a store
keeper on Dignowity hill was scalded in
a can of boiling water yesterday after
noon so badly that it died al II o'clock
last night.
The mother was doing the family
washing and had removed the can Of
boiling water from the fire and went into
the house for a moment. She heard the
child scream and running out was in time
to draw the child out of the water he being
submerged in the hot fluid. DR.. Menger
was called. but could not save the child's
life, it being so terribly burned. Opiates
were administered to relieve its suffer
ings, and these were finally ended last
night.
1t is presumed the child fell over into
the can backward.

FynensiYe Water.

A good deal of kicking has been gong on
lately over the exhorbitant rates charged
for connections by the City Water Works
company. 1t is true the rates are high,
much higher than they need be. But whose
fault is its The water company has eX-
pended an enormous amount of money dur
ing the past year, and has completed one of
the finest systems of water works in the
country, of which Ogden can proudly
! boast.
The water company is composed of bust
ness men, of tinanciers, yes, of men who
carefully look after their own interests
first and not SO much TO the welfare Of
others. The city council evidently got
done up when they made such contract as
they did with them. Tue contract gives
the water company practically the right to
do as they please and as long as they have
that privilege they will undoubtedly take
advantage of it.
The city council are indeed an intelligent
set of men-that is if you don't
care what you say To give an
example of their brightness it will be re-
memhered that when the old system was
turned over to the new company, all the
uncollected water taxes went with them,
which was wholly unnecessary, but the
contract so read and the city dads were
compelled to stand by their agreement
Even Ogden's city attorney, who had his
salary raised to 81, 500 per year by the first
| Liberal administration, failed to notice
| that until it was too late. But the people
will soon have relief; the election is draw
ing near, and the city win be relieved of

of being corrupt by enactipg nonsensical

some that the owner of the mine, a rich
citizen of Lima, had offered a pretty high
reward for every iaguar (panther) killed,
but TO kill them was no easy matter. The
wary beasts seemed to avoid by instinct all
traps and pitfalls and would not touch
poisoned meat. If a band of hunters went
forth against them they were nowhere to
be seen, while any man who ventured
through the bush alone was apt to see
more of them than he liked.
This was the perilous mission that had
brought the brave American lad TO that
dangerous spot by night. He had set a
trap for the jaguars and baited it with
himself, and now he was watching to see
what would come of it.
He had not long to wait. The savage
hrutes had already scented him. and ere
long rustling and cracking was heard
among the bushes, and the Frightening
moon showed him three long, gaunt bodies
creeping stealthily toward the cage in
which he stood ready, rifle in hand.
They were complete jaguar family

being almost full grown, and armed with
teeth and claws well nigh as formidable as

a small stream, which ran down one of the
higher valleys, was huge iron cage with
u man inside of it,
Was he q prisoner? Hardly, for he was
unbound and armed with rifle; but, on
the other hand, if he were a free agent, it
was odd that he should be lingering at a
spot which every one else carefully avoided
after dark, as the chosen haunt of all the
wild beasts in the neighborhood And
stranger still, this daring watcher was a
mere lad barely 20 years old, whose local
reputation was that of q ''milksop"-a fell
low of no spirit whatever.
Daniel Martin was the junior of the staff
of a mine that had just been started at the
head of the valley With the other en-
ployes he was very unpopular. partly be-
cause he was the only Americana" among
them (for all the rest were nativesl, and
partly because, instead of spending his
evenings like them, in fooling away his
money at cards or drinking himself stupid
with bad rum, he was always porting over
scientific books or studying the construe-
ton and working of the mining machinery.
No one ventured actually to modest him,
for quiet as he was there was look about
him that warned the most reckless not to
go too far. But they all looked down upon
him as a milksop, and whenever he passed
they laughed and whispered spiteful jokes
TO each other, which he was luckily not SO
silly as to mind.

trict the beasts of prey were so trouble

lie appeared at recent gathering of his
disciples attired in loose robe of black
cloth that reached FROM his shoulders to
his heels. Here is the introductory part
of his address:
0 brothers and beloved sisters. your Christ is
before you! Your Lord is here He has come to
rescue you from the clutches of the white man.
You are my children, my brothers, my sisters
and am here to save you and to carry you to
the New Canaan which the Lord God Almighty
has prepared expressly for his chosen ones. You,
my black brothers, and you my dark sisters, all
the dark people are his chosen ones and for you
has that Canaan been prepared. VIII you 20, o
my children: Dare you trust yourselves TO me?
Carter described the promised land as
paved with silver, while the houses are Of
gold and have windows of diamonds. The
white people are to be destroyed before the
negroes enter into this gorgeous Inherit
ance.
The "Messiah's" sermons are always fol-
lowed by prayer and ghost dances in which
the devotees work themselves up to pain
full pitch of religious frenzy They are
said to have revived the lamentations of
the voodoo superstition, and the authori-
ties, who at first regarded the movement
with ridicule, are reported now to regard

This attack on both sides at once (whsth-
er intended or not) brought the gallant lad
within hairs breadth of destruction. for
the bars were wide enough apart to let his

that one inch to right or left would cost
him his life) reloaded with all possible

But all at once the she jaguar, mad with
rage at being unable to reach the slayer Of
her young, rushed round TO the other side
of the cage and leaped up on to the bars
just as the male beast made dash at

the two huge bodies suddenly thrown
both at once upon the same spot overbal-
the bank, turned over, and fell with loud
splash right down into the stream, carry
ing Martin along with it.
Happily for our hero (who would other
wise have been drowned in this novel SEN
try box, the shock of the fall snapped the
worn and rusty "catch' of the bolt, and
Dan, bruised and dizzy as he was, was able
to push back the door of the cage and
scramble out into the shallower water,
which was little more than waist deep.
But just as he was about to Chamber up
onto the bank furious splashing in the
stream drew his attention to the third
jaguar, which badly hurt by blow from
the corner of the cage as it fell was strug-
Cling in the water close beside him. Come
what might it must not escape. Like light
ming Dan whipped out his long hunting
knife and buried it in the monsters throat
"a blow that needed no repetition.
Just at that moment the other officers of
the mine, startled by the firing, came rush
ing up to the spot in a body to see what
was the matter, and stood in blank amaze
ment at sight of the dead monsters and
the young milksop' by whom they haG
been slain
''Senor Don Daniele," at length said the
chief of the mining staff, who had always
been hardest of all upon the young hero
''you are brave man, and for one will
never say another word against you. But

For an instant his hearers eyed each

The Liberal Pow Wow.

The Liberals held their primaries yester-
day afternoon, but not great deal OF ex-
element prevailed. In each ward there
were two factions and in some there were
as high as four each having separate
ticket. The factions had considerable
trouble in getting their men together, and
to persuade them to come out the Liberal
band was ushered onto the streets and dis
coursed campaign selections.
| In the First ward thirty eight delegates
were chosen, and four tickets were in the
/ field.
in the Second ward forty-six delegates
were chosen and about $50 votes were cast.
In The 4hirG ward about 100 votes were
cast
In TIE Fourth w4rd, five tickets were in
the field and about 315 votes were cast.
All was quiet in the Fifth ward and q
| light vote.
| 1t was great pow-wow between them
selves end it is generally conceded that the
ring carried the field, taking everything
into conslc Grafton.
| In the Fourth ward, at the closing Of the
polls the factions were in wrangle over
the counting of the votes. The judges did
not intend to admit any one belonging tc
either side to the room while the votes were
being counted. Everything was but
harmony for few moments, until the diff
| tculty was settled by allowing three from
each faction in the room.
