DECEMBER 2, 1898
TNHREE weeks and
a a little bit over
to Christmas. A
Quite time to be think
ing seriously about it,
quite time to be giving a
bit of careful thought to
that list Of things which
must bee ready for the
25th. e
If you have decided
that your distant friend
shall be remembered by
something Of your own
making there's no time to
lose in getting the ma
terials. If you wish your
gifts to be odd, unique
and a little out of the
ordinary look the stocks
over early, as you know
by the experience Of 9TH
er years that the best
things always go first.
No need to take them
home now, s no need to
have them sent till you
are ready. Anything
bought here for Christ
mas may be left in our
care and will be forward
ed by mail, express or
parcel delivery at any
time.
Every department Of
this big store is blooming
with new things, and all
this week will see a con-
slant stream of fresh ar
rivals, the pick of every
market. You are surer
now of finding the very
thing you want than at
any other time and
there's less jostling..
On the whole it's
wisest to be forehanded
in the matter Of gift get
ting.

The will of the late DIR. S. H. Fogg of
Boston, after providing fol several minor;
legatees, gives to his wife. Mary S. Fogg,
the use of his house, library and con-
tents, during her lifetime; after that it
goes to the Maine Historical Society. all
the testator's autograph letters and his
torical documents to be forever preserv-
ed in their archives and not to be dis
posed of by sale, exchange or gift.
Also at her death, the home No. 4S1

George Carter, and in reply to Carriers
question. Matt, what are you doing
heref" replied, !" For Gods sake go for a
doctor, the old lady is shot" The fact
that Mr.. Prawda is German, to some
degree accounts for his statements, for
as Mr.. Gerow said, it is not always an
easy matter to follow him.
The officers believe that it is a matter
of some Importance to fix definitely the
time of the shooting. Almon H. Strout
said yesterday that he heard the report,
but thought nothing of it at the time
the boys having been in the habit of
shooting skunks evenings" 1t was be-
tween $50 and $40, to the best of his
recollection, and Mrs. Strout, who was sick
that evening, heard the report and fixes
the time at about O'Clock. Joseph A.
Manley, the section boss, says that
Prawda, was working for him last Tues
day. 1t was a bad day. said Mr.. Man
ley, land we knocked off early, about
4.30. I should say that he must have got
home by five."
There are many local reports, all more
or less interesting. For example, it is
said that Mrs. Meyer had about $500 in
her room when she was. shot. Mr. j ohm
J. Meyer declined to talk yesterday about
the businss affairs Of the family. He is
feeling the strain more than any one of
the family, and has not slept since the
shooting. He is devoting his time entire
ly to his mother, and will remain with
her until she passes away. His brother
in-law Calvin L. Linnell, is also at the
house, and Mr.. Prawda is there all the
time. He does not leave the place day
or night. Mrs. Meyer had accepted the
offer of a home with her son, and every
preparation had been made to make her
comfortable.
1t is understood that about two years
ago Mrs. Meyer made a will, but that it
has since been destroyed, and new will
made. Sheriff Buchanan and Constable
Blake are still investigating the case
but decline to make public the evidence
they are said to have found. Mr. Buck
nam yesterday ordered the upper part of
the house closed up, and things will re-
main as Mrs. Meyer left them until after
her death. 1t is not probable that pend
ing that event any arrests will be made.

SALT LAKE CRY, Utah, Aug. "a 1893.

Kew. Mr.--
You are doubtless aware that the Tabernacle
choir, OF $50 voices, Professors Krouse, Rad
cliffe and Weihe, and other representative
musicians of this city, will leave for the
Worlds fair on Tuesday next to arrange for a
lifting celebration OF Utah day on Sept. 8, and
TO enter the musical competition for special
prizes during the same week. We believe you
viii agree with US that their going will result In
decided good in advertising our territory and
giving proper idea OF the advancement Of its
people.
We need not say to you that the work of
raising the necessary funds TO carry out this
enterprise has been most onerous one, and
that II has been and is a yers heavy burden on
the committee having it In charge. In view Of
the prevailing financial stringency, we have
thought it best not to raise funds by general
subscription, but 70 secure them by means OF
itself These have been fairly successful thus
far, but we are still considerably short of the
amount needed.
To raise as much as possible to aid the en-
terprise AMI in the shortest possible time, it
has been decided to give sacred concert in the
tabernacle on Sunday evening at $50 o'clock.
This will permit the people to attend after the
regular evening worship. The programme
selected will be largely sacred in character,
and the entire affair will be conducted in a
manner suitable TO the building and the occa-
sion.
We beg TO ash for your kind cooperation in
making this event-whlch will be in the nature
of a popular farewell and bidding of God-speed
70 our musicians-a social and financial sue
cess. The admission charge will be fifty cents.
II you can consistently announce the event and
its object to your congregation, and dismiss the
evening session of your church In season to
allow the people of your church to attend the
tabernacle. you will be lending valuable aid to
the project, as well as deeply obuging
Yours respectfully,
