The Hill Sentence.

The sentence imposed upon Oscar E.
Hill yesterday has created consider
able discussion in legal and social cir
cles. It has been held that the SEN
tence of five years on the two counts
would take effect at the same time,
thus making it term of five years
Imprisonment; while on the contrary 1t
was urged that the sentence meant a
term of ten years imprisonment. The
latter is the correct Interpretation of
the sentence. At the expiration of the
first FIVE years, the second sentence OF
five years will take effect, SO that I'M
less previously pardoned, Hill will be
incarcerated for ten years; subject, of
course, to the usual deductions for
good behavior. This is how the judg-
ments are drawn up and how the SEN
tence appears on the records of the
court The mooted question on this
particular point is as to whether or
not a judge has the right to pass a
sentence today, that will effect in the
future; and this has been passed upon
and the judicial right has been sus-
tained=Ogden Sun.

A Strange Story About a Strange
Man.
The Sentence of Embezzler sin at Ogden
"A Mower Accident-The Sugar
Factory-Items.

Occasionally this summer a very thin
pair Of mules, with dropping heads
and careworn countenances, driven by
a much thinner individual whose ap-
pearance suggested that the sunny side
of life he had not always enjoyed,
have appeared upon our streets from
the direction of Daniels canyon. The
mules were so suggestive of better
times and the man so peculiar that the
outfit was sure to attract attention
wherever seen. The man was known
as Mr.. Blacketer, and though poor
which Is no crime, and peculiarly
striking in appearance, a thing which
we are all heir to in a greater or less
degree, his actions, if all reports are
true, are as far from the ordinary as
his looks. A man should not be judged
by his looks, and we hope that the
stories about this man are as ground
less as sensational stories often are.
According TO report this man became
involved in debt to f. o. Buell. to such
an extent that he was obliged to mort
gage his mules, harness and wagon as
security. Last week Mr.. Buell. learned
that Mr.. Biacketer had left and went
to that persons ranch to investigate.
The merchant was informed that the
man had driven his wife out of the
house and after loading the movable
property Of the family, including ms
wife's clothing into the wagon, hitched
up the "cuddies' and struck for parts
unknown. In the house was found
barrel of spoiled beef, and the mer-
chant. thinking he could make out
a criminal case against the man. in
Vited Sheriff Fraughton to ride out
with him to the deserted ranch. They
went out Monday and discovered sew
eral beef hides and heads secreted
about the place, which Mr.. F. be
lieves is positive proof that Mr.. Black
eter has been killing cattle that did
not belong to him.-Wasatch Wave.

AT the Sugar Factory.

The expense of freight and coal paid
out by the sugar factory now daily is
$1,000, which amount has to be paid at
once, no putting off these companies.
IT is quite a strain to keep up and pay
out such an amount every twenty
four hours. OF course the amount of
freight will not keep up very long
The company has quite an amount of
sugar stored, the demand seemingly
having fallen off because the people
have not the money to buy with. How

made, the amount being LOO sacks

European Shipmasters to Adopt the AIidge
System for Paying Sailors.
The British board of trade is trying
to extend what is known as the Midge
system to such continental ports as
Havre, Dunkirk, Rouen, Antwerp, Rot
terdam, Amsterdam and Hamburg, in
order to prevent the systematic rob-
berry of sailors, who often lose the
wages for whole voyages in single
night on shore. Under this Midge sys-
tenn, says the New York Post, as soon
as ship arrives in port, board of
trade officer, specially appointed for
the purpose, boards her and, after as
certaining how many hands wish to
proceed home without delay, obtains
from the master particulars as to the
wages due and the deductions charge
able to the men. Each seaman, after
vouching for the accuracy of his ac-
count by signing it, receives
ticket for his destination with a small
advance to defray minor travelling ex-
penses, and leaves for home as soon
as his services can be dispensed with
on board ship. The balance of wages
due to him is forwarded by the board
of trade officer, and thus his earnings
have chance of reaching his family
instead of filing the pockets of the
crimps. The superintendent of mer-
camille marine at Gravesend has been
sent to Dunkirl1 to make the necessary
arrangement for the introduction of
the system, and il successful there
it will be extended to other ports. 1t
is estimated that between 1882 and
1898 British sailors were robbed of
two hundred thousand pounds in Dun
kirk alone.

In valuable article ON seclecting
and planting shrubs in Garden and
Forest, it is urged that preparation in
the planting should be commenced at
once, although apparently early in the
season. The ground should be thorough
ly prepared this fall, dug deep, trenched
IL possible, filled in with good loan
and properly drained when needed.
Where this has been done, and the
ground has been all winter firmly set
Ting, it can be worked much earlier in
the spring and planting much better
done Results from this preparation
will be seen in Il more vigorous growth,
more luxuriant foliage and more abund-
ant flowers and fruit There is no
work in the garden which pays better
in the long run than thorough prepara-
tion of the ground at this season for
the trees and shrubs which are TO be
placed in t the following year.

of Germany, ne states that the latter
yielded only one fine crop in Eve years.
and that two crops out of Eve would
be poor. He began planting Hftcen
feet apart. and increased the distance
to twenty-five; then to thirty-fve, and
lastly 10 forty-hve. 1t may bc re-
marked how different this from buuch
or staled grapes, at six feet apart each
way, which, we believe, is the distance
in the vineyards along the Ohio \ few
dozen scuppernongs will cover an acre;
while it takes thousands of the Euro
pcan gra.cs. He found that the greater
distance he gave the better for the
vines, the quality of the juice and the
quantity produced he fortified only
every other year, and this was done by
trench a spade deep and two spades
wide, just outside of the reach of the
branches, and filling it with rich com
post. The grapes were gathered by
four men holding canvas and shaking
the vines over it with the back of n
rake; five men could thus gather 100
bushels in a day when the vines had
been well trained from the beginning.

Successful farming includes horticul-
ture and Horticulture The man who
confines his work solely to the produc-
ton of the coarser products of the
earth may succeed in making money,
but he will never get the most complete

his occupation. Pay some attention to
the things which make life pleasant,
and you win find that the business of
money-mal1ing does not prosper any
the less, and your wife and your chill
dren will like the farm better. We
know there are some farmers who
think they cannot spend time even TO
have vegetable garden and who
would scowl at the suggestion of flow
ers, but let them once see the yard
bright with bloom and they would be

THE POWER OF LOVE.

o, what can have happened TO Willie, 10 make
him so good all at onceS
At home he's no longer terror; IL school he no
more is Ounce;
Out doors he IS gentle and quiet. before he was
noisy and rude,
And as for his dress you won't know hin-he's
changed to 4 regular dude.
To make him wash even his fingers required a
wrestle intense,
But now for the soapsuds he's showing love
which is simply immense;
He brushes his har till 1t glistens while eyeing
himself in the glass
o, what can have happened 10 Willie to bring
all the wonders to pass:
He keeps his teeth whittier than snowdrifts with
out being told any more;
He minds like q soldier and gladly he does any
errand or chore;
Hes grown several inches in stature because he
now stands SO erect
And in his bearings so manly that all have to
show him respect
O. what can have happened 10 Willie 20 make
him this angel complete?
He cannot be going 10 be one Ike little boys do
If too sweet?
o moi I've discovered the reason that's making
him 50 like dove,
And marvel OF boyish perfection-the dear lit
tie fellows in love.
One morn in the garden found him selecting a
pretty bouquet:
"Ab, who is it for Willie, darling!" I asked in q
motherly way;
All blushing as red as his roses and modestly
hanging his head,
"I-don't-like-to-tell- not even
you, mamma" he said,
At noon saw Willie returning from school with
dainty, wee maid,
Who held in her pink dimpled fingers those
fowers-which never should fade;
noticed his tender attentions bestowed on his
partner in bliss,
And watched the sweet sorrow at parting and
glances shot back at the miss
Yes, Willie has now his first sweetheart and
that's why he sings like a bird,
And keeps himself spotless in raiInent and gen
Tie in action and word,
And noble and manly in bearing. All. yes
there is nothing like love
To make either young or old people as good as
the angels above

Better Police Protection In Rural DIs
trIcts Needed.


Most Americans cherish the singular
superstition that brigandage and high
way robbery are only possible in de-
praved backward countries like Spain,
Sicily or Greece, and that an English
speaking country with courts and the
common law must necessarily be free
from these pests.
This is nonsense, says the Philadei-
phia Press. Brigands, footpads and
highwaymen will spring up in any
land where an efficient police is alb
sent. They swarIned over England a
century and a half ago, they were
frequent in France a little earlier,
and they were to be found over
most of Europe in the last cen
tury. They are certain to appear in
this country and become q widespread
pest unless there is radical change
in the American habit of keeping the
peoples peace.
At present, it is left to keep itself
Great tracts of this country are left
without any protection to travel, ex-
cept the sheriff and the constable.
City people have very little idea of the
insecurity which exists in many Amer
lean rural districts. There are many
counties in New York state, and some
doubtless in this state, where it would
not be considered prudent for an unat-
tended woman to walk in broad dav
along a lonely country road The
farms on which farmers are in con-
slant fear of tramps can be numbered
by the thousand. While abroad, even
in countries like Spain and Italy, the
rural districts are given the benefit of
police patrol paid for by taxes or by
the wealth and trade of the cities.
here our thinly settled farming neigh
borhoods are left to protect themselves
as best they can.
The wonder is, not that a train is
now-and then held up, but that this
does not happen great deal oftener.
Depend upon it, these modern higfl-
way robberies in the shape of train
robberies viii go increasing until our
states establish a permanent rural

RUSSIA'S UNHAPPY STATE.
Arguments to the Danger of Lending
Money to Her.

Arguments as to the Danger of Lending
Money to Her.
Summing up the facts, says Darkest
Russia, we find that Russian finances
are based exclusively upon the sol
vency of the agricultural population
of the country; that these unfortunate
people are hopelessly insolvent and
are kept in state of chronic. starva-
ton; that the corn indispensable to
their existence is exported abroad;
that they live for half the yeir in the
air, sleeping on the bare ground, and
for the other half in hideous novels;
that they are obliged to sell their cat
tie and to burn the straw of their roofs
in order to prolong this horrible life,
and that they are physically degen-
Grating and becoming unfit for man
ual labor; that the government, in
stead of attempting to improve their
miserable lot, blithely continues to
augment its budget in inverse proper
ton to their insolvency, fogging them
for arrears until they raise money at six
thousand per cent. interest; that even
under the most favorable circum-
stances agriculture is absolutely unre-
munerative; that Russia does not pro-
duce single grain of superhuous corn,
and that mismanagement has brought
about such an abnormal state of things
in the empire that good harvest is
more ruinous than n failure of the
crops.
Lastly, that they who lend Russia
money, in the teeth of these indubit-
able facts, are not only making a
financially unsound investment, but
are rendering themselves morally re-
sponsible for the untold misery of one
hundred million of their fellow men.
