committee resulted as follows: Mr. ]. M.
Bishop, chairman; Miss Josie Seaman. MIR,
j. H. Bevins.
To fill vacancies Miss Ivy G. Loar was
chosen as corresponding secretary and Mr.
george Seaman as teasurer.
A paper. How to Develop Thought by
Observation" given by Mr.. S. G. Watson,
OF Hooper, was scholarly production, and
showed that deep thought had been given.
1t showed that every teacher should have
knowledge OF psychology.
Mr.. Mosiah Hall, of Huntsville, gave a
practlcal and interesting talk upon the sub
1ect of "Penmanship." He said it was a
science as well as an art, and the princi-
pies should be taught from the first
A paper given by Mrs Alice M. PEBBLES,

county branch being assigned to each
two teachers.
Mr.. Peery also spoke upon the school

Utah school display at the Worlds fair,
and to produce the desired result it is
highly necessary that active work COM

Weber county school exhibit will be held

OGDEN
YESTERDAYS BIG FIRE.

Court Cullings-County Teachers Meeting
Heavy Ordnsnce-SocietY Notes. Etc.
The timely arrival and the splendid work
performed by the members Of the fire de-
oartment is all that saved the furniture
house of G. e. Stratford & Son from being
totally destroyed by fire about noon yester-
day.
Several of the clerks were at work talk
ing stock in the third story when suddenly
they discovered that the centre of the room
was on fire.
MIR. a. G. Stratford Immediately turned
in the alarm and the department quickly
responded. BY this time dense volumes of
smoke were issuing from the windows and
from all appearances the building seemed
doomed to destruction. While two lines of
hose were being laid from the corner of
Twenty-fourth street and Washington
avenue the chemical engine was stationed
at the rear Of the building and Fireman
West entered the smoking portals con-
fronted by terrible heat ana fought his
way boldly TO conquer the fast spreading
demon. BY the time the lines of hose
were laid the aerial truck was in service
and in little over three minutes it was
raised to the top of the building and line
of hose taken with 1t. Another ladder was
raised 10 the second window and the other
hose put in use then. The chemical en-
CINE was charged twice, and it did such
effective work that it was necessary to use
but little water. With much difficulty the
blaze was kept confined to the upper floor,
and within a half-hour from the time the
department was called out, the flames were
extinguished. The entire upper floor was
used for storing away upholstered goods,
all kinds of furniture wall paper, etc.
Hardly any of the goods are left in a sale
able condition. Where the furniture was
not burned and charred, the varnish was
scorched by intense heat. The plush goods
and carpets were almost totally destroyed.
1t is estimated the damage is between
5000 and $4,000; fully insured.
Owing to sickness, the department was
reduced to only five men, and the manner
in which the boys manipulated the ap-
psratus is somewhat wonderful. The
Judgment that Chief Rhodes exercised in
directing MS men is very commendable
The excsllent work of the firemen probably
saved the l.. c. NJ. |. and other adjoining
buildings.
How the fire originated is a mystery.
MIR. Stratford said that no smoking was
ever allowed in that portion of the building
and the employees in the building were not
in the habit OF carrying matches.

Some time ago a man came to this town

horses and beef cattle. Several large deals
were made and the animals rounded upn
ready for shipment. The individual had
succeeded in gaining credit at the saloon
and boarding house, and was quite lavish
in his way. Suspicion seemed to rest upon
the fellow that all was not ION the SQUARE
and he was closely watched, as the time
had come when his money was to come
and stock turned over. He arose verv
early on the day in question and made
tracks, meandering through back streets.
