Called Fossil Plants.
In the south of France, upon the banks
of the Rhone, occurs a curious variety of
limestone, to which the name truffitte has
been given, ON account of its peculiar prop

rubbed or broken. From an illustrated ac-
count in Popular Science News, of this and
other remarkable minerals, the following
is reproduced: The mineral occurs in beds
of Ignite in the form of irregularly round
ed or flattened masses more or less perfect
ly crystallized in different layers Gig. y
and somewhat resembling the similar sill
ceous formations known as agates
A close study of this mineral has led to
the conclusion that it is a mineralized wood
IN which the original substance has been
replaced by carbonate of lime. 1t is prob

As the result of a consultation with
Judge IT.. Anderson, Of the SUPP eme
Court of Utah, Attorney General Miller
requested that officials resignation, and
received it. Later Mr.. Anderson, in a
published interview, said his resignation
was forced because he was Democrat.
Now he probably wishes he had kept
quiet. Acting Attorney General Aldrich
says: cit is not usually the practice of
the department to make public the rea-
sons inducing such action as was taken
in Judge Anderson's. If the Judge de-
sires it, however. 1 presume that the At
torney General will consent to the publ
cation of the letters written by the
Judge, and confessed by him, as well as
other matters rejecting upon his charac-
ter, now on file: will add, if there ever
was case in our history that called for
the prompt retirement ola judicial officer
that case, in my opinion, was Judge An

farmers of West Union had committed
suicide. The cause of the rash act is un-
known, but is thought to have been
dependency. Mr.. Budd had recently
sold his farm and purchased house and
lot In town. and he seemed to grieve
oyer leaving the old home, and some
think this was one of the causes which
led to the deed; but it seems hardly
probable. MIR. Budd arose about 4
O'Clock and went out to the barn, climb
ing up ladder he fastened a rope to an
oak beam and around his neck and swung
off. About o'clock the boys went out
to do the chores and found him. They
cut him down, and ran for Mr.. Chase,
their nearest neighbor, when he arrived
the body was still warm but life was
extinct. The deceased was So years old
and had been resident of West Union
Tor 25 yeaas. He was an active church
worker and highly esteemed in the COM
munity. He leaves wife and quite a
large family.
