The severity of the winter can be
demonstrated by the experience at
the High school during the holiday
week, There being no school the
fires were not kept up, because
nothing had ever frozen other years.
When the janitor went to look after
the building at the close of the week
he found the water meter frozen and
top bursted off while the water pipe,
lying about six inches under ground in
the bottom of the cellar, was frozen
solid and bursted in many places,
The cellar is not exposed and was
closed during the vacation.

THE NEW YEAR.

The new year was ushered in
admidst considerable noise. The
bells of the Methodist and Lutheran
churches were rung, and the whistles
at Harman & Hassert's shops and the
Silk mill were blown. The tinkGng
of the tocsin facetiously called fire
alarm, on the Town Hall, was also
heard by those near by Pistols and
fire crackers, and small but power
full brass cannon, helped to swell the
general din. People who did not
know just when 1898 began, must
have been sound sleepers indeed.

We give place this week to an ar
ticle by our excellent friend, J. c.
Wenner, but we cannot fully endorse
his views. While it may now cost the
farmer three times as much produce
to pay his school tax of $40 as it did
twenty five years ago, his children are
getting more than three times the
benefit from the improved schools and
the longer terms.

The building committee of the
school board were apprised Monday
of what seemed to be a break in the
sewer connection at the new addition
of the Fifth street Public school
The surface water was accumulatlne
in one of the dry closets. Upon
examination it was found that in max
ing the attachments one of the
workmen had closed up the sewer
not knowing it was intended to drain
any excess of surface water. The
difficulty was easily removed.

The practice of saying God bless

be widespread indeed when we find a
similar ssiutation, "Mbuka !" Qiterally
equals live y obtaining among the
Fljians of the South Pacific, race
developed by the blending of the Ma
layo- Polynesians with the Papuans,
the FIJI group being the borderland
between the two. 1t has been said
by London physician that one is
nearer death at the actual moment of
sneezing than at any other period OF
ones life. Herein, perhaps, lies the
reason for the kindly wish, and may
account for the prevalent idea that il
is dangerous to interrupt a person in

With full reason have the Latter-Day
Saints looked forward to that occasion
in a spirit OF reverence and pride. The
labor of forty years is ended. They have
accom- lished one of the most marvellous
undertakings of modern times. The
record OF its building is the record of their
own lives. The great work has
shared in their adversities and prospered
in their prosperity. Through all of the
hardships that they have endured their
zeal has never tagged, and full fruition
OF their fondest hopes is now the richly
merited reward of their endeavor.
Not the LatterIoay Saints alone, but all
residents of this region view the Salt Lake
Temple with pride. Its fame has travelled
10 the most remote corner of the earth.
Every enlightened people on the globe
have heard of the mormon Temple. -
Its peculiar history, the massive, stately
grandeur of its architecture, invest it
with a fascinating interest, and to the
stranger from far lands, Salt Lake city is
known by its Temple. 1t is to the out

A LIGHT DAY.

The President Has Comparatively Quiet
Day-Few New Applications Filed.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The president
had comparatively light day today.
But few applications for Office were pre-
sented to him and senators and represen-
tatives who called came mainly for the
purpose OF looking after cakes already In
the oven. To a couple of Congressman
who called upon him to discuss territorial
appointments, he stated that it was his
intention to adhere to the plan of select
ing appointees to positions in territories
from among the residents, state and
local. He will not depart from this rule,
save in cases where local candidates are
manifestly unfit for office, and it becomes
necessary to seek elsewhere for proper
men for the places.

lessor Marcellus Marshall of Gilmer

Government Property Sent to the Resi-
dences of Chiefs of Division.
WASHINGTON, April Elm the weather
bureau investigation today, the captain
OF the watch, Brandon, was first called
His testimony went to show that the
property clerk had been ignored, and as
he claims, he had orders from Discussing
Officer Stone placing him in charge of the
store room. In this capacity he disposed
of property of the department at such
prices as he chose. There appeared to be
wide discrepancies in prices, and when
called upon to explain this, he said his
books were stolen. He admitted that he
had sent furniture to the private houses
OF several chiefs of division, to Major
Harrington's residence and to his own
home.
Some of these things were recently re-
turned to the department, but not all of
them. He also claimed he had seen stored
in the cellars of Sergeant Ryan's house
over thousand dollars worth belonging
to the department. Sergeant Ryan is an
employee of the bureau.

A SANITARIUM BURNED.
CareIessness OF Timer Imperils the
Lives OF 200 People.
Every Effort Was Given to Rescuiug the
Patients, and 1t Is Believed That
Every Life Was Saved.

CINCINNATI, April 6.-Carelessness OF Il
timer upon the roof of the College Hill
sanitarium this afternoon caused loss Of
from 100000 to $780, in property and
imDeriled the lives OF 200 patients.
a hot soldering iron was permitted to
ignite the roof and the flames quickly got
beyond the control of the waterworks of
the institution as we'll as the village. Su-
perintendent DIR. Everetts directed the at
PENDANTS to give every effort 10 the task OF
safely removing the sick, insane and all
ing patients. They were faithfully assisted
by villagers who fiocked to the place.
The scenes within the great structure,
four stories in height aud filed with 200
patients, were exciting. The insane
shrieked and tore their clothing, the less
unfortunate were distracted by lear, and
begged to be helped away from the flames.
1t is believed every life was saved and
every inmate except two men and one
woman escaped to the woods. The main
building was entirely destroyed.

THU GREAT NAVAL REVIEW
Official Programme Arranged By
the Secretary of the Navy.
WHO WILL BE PRESENT.
The Dolphin VIII Be the Presidents
Flag Ship.
The Fleet Win Leave Hampton Roads for
New York on the 24th Inst.-Press
Correspondents VIII Sail on
One of the Vessels.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The secretary
of the navy has decided upon the official
programme of the naval review in New
York harbor on the 9th instant. The
ships will be anchored in two columns,
extending from Twenty-sixth street up
North river. The president and mem
bers of his cabinet will be received on
board the Dolphin at 1920 am, off
Twenty third street, North river. The
Dolphin will then get under way, and
followed by the coast survey steamer
Blake, and steamer Monmouth will pro-
coed up the river between the columns of
United States and foreign men-of-war.
The Blake will carry members of the
diplomatic corps, and the Monmouth the
judges of the Supreme Court, senators
and representatives OF the United States,
and governors of states, accompanied by
one staff officer. No other invitations
will be issued for review.
The Dolphin, proceeding between the
columns will, as she passes the various
ships. be saluted with honors laid down
by international treaties due to the chief
OF state, and arriving at the head OF the
columns, will anchor between them.
The Blake will anchor at the head of the
foreign and the Monmouth of the Aueri-
can column. The flag officers and cap
tains OF men-of-war will then be received
on board the Dolphin and presented to the
president of the United States, who will
entertain them at lunch. Lunch will at
the same time be served on the Blake and
on the Monmouth to the guests on board.
The review will terminate by the return
of the Dolphin, Blake and Monmouth
through the lines, and when the presi-
dents flag is hauled down from the
Dolphin it will be saluted with twenty
one guns by all the men, war present.
a great many applications have been
made to the secretary of the navy to allow
newspaper correspondents transportation
upon vessels of the feet from Hampton
Roads, on the Oath. of April, to New York
harbor. Owing to the fact that he would
be able to accommodate very few, and as
he has a disinclination to discriminate,
he has decided to only allow representa-
tives of press associations TO sail upon one
of the vessels, and will not issue permits
sion to any other correspondents.

PARIS, April 6.-The morning session
