cLIMBING THE GRAND rEToN.
A Glacier a MHe wide Discovered at
the Base of the Peak.

MI. and Mrs. William o. Owen and
MI. and Mrs. NJ. Dawson Of Laramie
recently visited the Yellowstone park and
had some thrilling experiences there.
The party claims to have reached a hIgher
point on the Grand Teton mountain thar
was ever before reached. Mr.. Owen in
an interview published in the Republican
says: THE Teton group comprises three
peaks, the largest of which is the Grand,
Its snow-capped summit is usually buried
in cloudland. even on bright days, and

knew the park like a book and had
climbed the Teton before.
Next morning we began the climb.
Wagons conveyed US to within twelve
miles Of the summit, and pack animals
carried us eight miles farther. Then the
ascent proper began. Daw fastened the
end ofa long and stout rope around his
waist, and enclosed us IN loops of it at
regular distances beLind him. Each of
us carried a pole, which accelerated our
speed considerably. Thus equipped in

SCORES A SUCCESS.
Melbourne Produces Rain at the
Edge of the American Desert.
He Brings II About Half a Day
Ahead of Schedule.
The Judge of the Contest Awards
Him the Money.

The LEADER last evening received the
following telegram which explains itself:
KELToN, Utah, Sept. l6.--I was APP
pointed judge on the Melbourne rain pro-
ducing test terminating today and affirm
that from a clear sky and indications
favorable for dry weather a rain I'M

inch as measured in three guages at
Promontory, Kilton and Terrace, seven
miles apart. j. w. KEoaH.
This experiment was perhaps the sever
est test to which Melbourn has yet been
put. As heretofore mentioned, when
the raInmaker reached Salt Lake he wal
disguised to discover that the weather.
which had been for several weeks intensely
dry, suddenly become rainy. he at once
announced that a test by him under these
circumstances would be unsatisfactory as
in the midst Of showery weather
no one would believe that he had had any
influence in producing the rain. While
tavorably considering an offer from
Namps. Idaho, he was induced to under
take an experiment at Kelton. This
point is located at the edge of the
American desert and is treated to a rain.

is a perfect dampness In towns in the
same general locality. 1t was therefore
considered that this would be a supreme
test of Melbourne's ability. If his test
was successful he was to get $500; if be
failed only his bare expenses. The citi-
zens Of Salt Lake selected Mr.. Keogh, q
prominent and respected citizen, as the
judge to decide whether Melbourne was
or was not entitled to the money. 1t will
be seen that be unequivocally decides in
the Affirmative.
Operations we're commenced at 9 o'clock
Monday morning last in exactly the same
way as was done here. The rain was to
have been PRODUCED by midnight last
night, but it will be observed that Mel

About l o'clock a second alarm was
sounded and the fire proved to be in the
same place as the first one. In a very
few minutes the department was on the
ground. The fire had got under good
Roadway and was flashing up SO that it
could be seen for several blocks. In a very
short time the building was flooded and
the fire was ont. One of the carriage
makers who with another had been left
to watch the place after the first fire said
that they watched for an hour or two
before leaving and thought that no trace
OF the fire remained. He said that. the
building contained 81. 900 worth of stock
and that as what was not burned was
nearly ruined by water the loss would
amount to several thousand dollars.

Mrs. Miriam A. Osborn.

We have to record this morning the death of the generous donor of the new recitation hall on the college grounds, Mrs. Miriam A. Osborn, the widow of the late Charles J. Osborn, esq.,, of New York. She died after somewhat protracted ill., ness in that city on the 14th, last Satur- day evening. Mrs. Osborn was one of the largest benefactors of Yale university, her gift for the erection of Osborn hall having amounted to more than one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. This building, which supplied need of the university that had long been felt, was intended by Mrs. Osborn, while it should serve the purpose for which it was designed, to be a monument to her husband, whose inter est in young men was well known to all his friends. She was greatly interested in it while it was in process of building, and was fully satisfied when she found that it was realizing her hopes. The university has been already greatly bene- fted by what the building has furnished to it's officers and students. The good that will be accomplished by it's means can only be measured in the coming years. Mrs. Osborn was lady of most generous feel ing, of kindly and gentle character, ready to do good and to help others, faithful to the call of duty as she heard it. Her memory will be cherished by her many friends, and will be honored by many in our university who, though they will not have had the privilege of seeing or know generosity has freely given to them and secured for them. We trust that she has already entered into the..blessed reward of a generous and loving life.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
Important Action Taken Last Mig

Important Action Taken Last Night.
 A joint committee, consisting of Messrs. Adler, Howarth and Superintendent Cur tis from the committee on schools, and Drs. Winchell, Graves and De Forest from the board of health, met in the rooms of the board of education last night, and af- ter some discussion voted to request the committee on ordinances to endorse the rules of the board of health in regard to contagious diseases, with the addition of the placarding of every house in which there is a case of scarlet fever within twelve hours after discovery, and make them city ordinances. Drs. Winchell and Graves were made committee to draw the matter up in proper form and to urge upon the common council the necessity of making these rules city ordinances. The reason for this action appears to be this, that the point has been made that the city officers did not consider the rules of the board of health sufficient ground for pros ecution. Therefore this joint committee have taken the matter in hand, and pro- pose to make it not only possible but prob able that all offenders and delinquents may be prosecuted and punished, and the only way to obtain the desired result was to make these rules city ordinances, and cn houoy,1 n1oofior

Will You Take a Ride3

Some kind of a tonic has been recom- mended for general use in the spring since the year one, and doubtless with some reason. The best kind that we know of, or would recommend, is to be obtained by sitting back of or on good, light stopping horse and being carried along the road un- til the blood tingles throughout your veins. Get up early and try it. In con- nection with this it may be well to notify the public that Messrs. w. & R. Foote have au unusual large stock of fine horses this spring. Particulars may be noted in their advertisement in another column Perhaps no dealers in horses in this city or state have furnished so many good horses for family use and gentlemen's driving as the Messrs. Foote brothers have, and their reputation is much more than local. The fact that they have favored the Morgan breed of horses, which are mo- ted for their many superior qualities, is doubtless one reason of their success.

About the Tomlinson n Drawbridee.

ADOut thc AOhunBOn n DT0WhYfdOo. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 There seems to be an unnecessary delay in closing the draw at the lower bridge I had talk with the man that gets there early in the morning about the delay, and he told me that the draw was closed to suit the convenience of the engineer. He told me in such q way that led me to be- lieve that the public were not considered in the matter.
 After the city and town came in possss- sion of this bridge the draw was overhaul ed so that it could be turned clear around either way, so that there should be less de- lay in opening and closing the same. John Powers, the engineer, says the bridge can be opened and turned back as quickly as it can be turned clear around. Now, we know better and we think any sensible man will agree with us in this matter. We would like to hear from some others who have to wait there, as we have heard good many speak about the unnecessary delay at this bridge.
 We hope the joint committee on bridges will see to this matter and have the delay shortened. c. B. WOODWARD,

THE SILVER QUEsT>N

Its Moral Aspects Further Considered
 at the Ministers, Meeting-Interest-
 ing Questions Which Were Fro.
 pounded by United States Senator
 Platt.
 ''The Moral Aspects of the Silver Cues ton" was still further considered at the ministers meeting yesterday morning for the fourth time.
 A conference took place after the last election between Judge Sheldon and Sena- tor O. H. Platt in regard to the silver question. The senator propounded sever al questions to which the judge made an
 swer at some length and procured the
 senator's permission to publish the corres- pondence. At the last meeting of the
 ministers at which this question WAS con-
 sidered, on March 2, a request was made of the judge to hand his reply to the ques-
 tions propounded to him by Senator Platt to Professor Schwab of Yale college and allow the professor two weeks to prepare 8 l reply and then on Monday, the 18th, yes terday, to have the answer read by Judge | Sheldon and the reply to the statements
 made therein read by Professor Schwab: | This arrangement so suggested was carried ouG. 4uc studtOT 5 duCSoioho WoAo oo l follows:
 | 1. Is it probable that free coinage of silver would furnish the country any more money than | the present law doesf Does not the purchase of | the amount specified take the American and the Mexican production? At any rate allowing Tor the necessary exportation. If it does, what is l the advantage in free coinage, unless it would | bring silver from other countries?
 Secondly. Is it likely that free coinage would | do so; and if it would to what extent? l Thirdly. Is not the matter of currency for to my mind this is after all but question of volume | of currency) one that ought to be regulated by l the government and not by chance or individual
 caprice? If an increase of currency is necessary | ought it not to be fixed and regular increase l controlled by the government and not subject tc | being large to-day and small tomorrow l It seems to one that the wisdom of free coin
 age must be determined by the answers to these l questions except as one other suggestion may be
 valuable; and that is, it is quite possible that we l have been too niggardly about the issue of cur l cency in any form and that the result has beer l depression of prices below their normal levels | thing which you call robbing of the debtor class l Admitting for the sake of the argument tha l this is SO, is there not danger in rebound?

THE BATTALION DRILL.

Interest in the Military Manifested
 by a Large Number of Spectators
 Annual Balls-The Athletic Games
 The Horse Guards Target Practice.
 The city companies of the Second regi- ment drilled at the armory last evening. A guard mount preceded the drill, which was conducted by Adjutant A. M. Dickin- son. Lieutenant Miller was senior officer of the guard, and Lieutenant Macdonald junior officer of the guard. The recently appointed sergeant major, Henry B. Car ter, was on duty.
 AS usual at the recent drills, the soldiers were formed into ten companies, and were commanded by Colonel J. B. Doherty. In charge of the companies were Captains T. Sucher, John Shuster, John Gutt, M Creed, B. E. Brown and Lieutenants Fred Lehr, James Twining, F. V. Reynolds. c. G. Miller and J. F. Plunkett.
 The first instruction was in the manual which was remarkably well executed. After the drill Colonel Doherty stated that he had been annoyed during the evening by the noise made by some of the boys who were in the armory as spectators. The noise caused by walking and shuff1ing of 1eet maQ6 It OluculC TOT some Of the officers to hear the orders of the colonel The next battalion drill will be held in April.
 During the drilling the two galleries were crowded with spectators, mostly ladies'.
 Among the military visitors at the armory during the evening were Colonel H. R. Loomis, Captain Allen, Captain La Barnes of Wallingford, Lieutenant Chris tie, General W. H. Pierpont and others.
 The members of the Light Guard are we'll pleased with the decision of Captain Sucher to remain with his command until after the drill season.
 Captain Shuster and the members of the Blues are anticipating much pleasure in attending the ball of the Peabody Guard of Springfield. The captain has invited Major Blakeslee, Lieutenant Newton and others to accompany his command to the ball.
 The Sarsfelds have issued several thou sand invitations to their annual ball which is announced for Easter Monday night at the armory. Friends of the company who have not received invitations can procure tickets at the door.
 Several students and some members of tho military companies are daily in prac- tice for the athletic games that are to be decided at the armory on Saturday even ing next.
 The Horse Guard had competitive tar get shoot last evening at the armory rife range for the company badge, which was not won Sergeant George T. Pratt made a good score, 21, which was equalled by 0. B. Smith, the present holder of the badge.
 Lawrence E. Ref, who returned on Sat urday from his extensive trip to California and other places of interest, was with his company, the Horse Guard. The soiree of the company is to be held in the drill room Wednesday, March 20.

The Legislature.

Again to-day the legislature of 1891 as sumes it's fruitless and barren sessions. The general opinion about the state ap- this week at Hartford the Zig is up" as far as any settlement of the trouble is con- cerned. To-day the Judson bill comes up again, and the house will probably pass it and the senate reject it. Chairman Benton, of the republican state central committee, is quoted as saying that he doesn't take stock in the story that the legislature will adjourn this week until October. MT. Benton also has no faith that the senate will concur on the Judson bill, but has a faint hope it may do so.
