The quantity and quality Of water
looked after this dry, hot weather,
that an ample supply of pure, clean
water is maintained. Professor Wort
ley Axe says: Horses during ordinary
work consume daily seven to nine gal
Ions of water, oxen six to eight gallons
but mich cows warmly housed and
deeply milking require more; the daily
allowance for sheep and pigs is from
three quarts TO a gallon. OF the vari-
Gus impurities dissolved or suspended
in water, organic filth especially OF
animal origin, is designated the most
injurious to animal health.

SHIPPED THE SWITCHBOARD.
Il Should Reach This City Early
Next Week.

Advices were received by the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company yes
terday to the effect that the switch
board. cables and all connections have
been shipped from Chicago and should
reach this city early in the coming
week. BY the date of arrival the new
exchange building will be ready for the
apparatus, and the connections are to
be made as the finishing progresses.
The switch board is a duplicate of
that exhibited at the Worlds fair by
the American Bell Telephone company
and is capacitated for 1900 instruments.
1t will be fitted up for but 1900 at
present, however. The cost of the board
was in the neighborhood of $4,000.

HOPE.

Though scattered far the flock may stray
His own the shepard still shall claim :
The saints who never learned to pray,
The friends who never spoke his name.
When shall his gathered church rejoice
His word of promise to recall
One shelterine fold, one shepard's voice
One God and Father over ali?
Dear Master. while we hear Thy voice
That saws, 1.-THE truth shall make you
free"
Thy servants still by loving choice,
Oh, keep us faithful unto Thee.

1t has been demonstrated by practi-
cal experiments that 100 pounds OF
sand will absorb twenty-five pounds OF
water; 100 pounds loan, forty pounds
100 pounds clay loan. fifty pounds; 10G
pounds clay, seventy pounds. This
says a writer, explains why some soils
always appear dryer than others, why
some soils will stand a drought SC
much better than others, and why, af-
ter a shower, some soilsbecome like q
thick paste, while others are only CON-
paratively damp.

RUSHED WITH ORDERS.
Salt Lake Manufactured Soaps Find
ing Very Ready Sale.

In common with the other manufac-
turtles of the territory, the soap fac
tories are having all the business they
can take care of. The fame of the Salt
Lake cleansing article is spreading over
the entire west and as a result orders
are pouring III from not only Utah
points but Oregon, Nevada, Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming. The people of
these states are anxious to aid in the
establishment of home manufactures
throughout the west and as the Utah
factories are furnishing most excel
lent article of soap-including every
class-and meeting all competition they
are receiving the greater portion of the
patronage.
Andrew Kimball, ore of the travelling
men for the Grant Soap company, is
back from trip through the northern
and eastern parts of the territory and
reports that the people are highly
enthused regarding home industry and
will patronize the local factories 30 the
exclusion of all others.

The sprinkling tax protestants who
Iitigated with the city until the SUI
preme court declared the levy invalid,
have again taken up the cudgel to
compel the city to disgorge the
amounts paid under protest. Recent
" a number of the taxpayers petition
ed the council to refund the amounts
they paid under protest during the
wears 1898 and 1894, and after due in
vestigation on the part of the street
sprinkhng committee with the city at
torney associated, the council on the
9TH inst voted to refund the amounts
as paid by the petitioners for the year
1894 only. The position taken by the
committee, together with City Attorney
Hoge, was that the 1894 tax should, as
a matter of equity, be refunded. while
those who paid under protest last
year received the full benefit of the
levy along with those who paid the
Illegally levied tax without protest,
and. moreover, the statute Of limita-
lions. which bars the prosecution Of
any suit at law for recovery of money
paid after six months from date OF
payment, was cited against the petit
TONERS.
But the protestants don't agree with
the city attorney, and to emphasize
their dissatisfaction or the paftlal
granting of their petition for refunding
of both years collections from them
under protest. held a meeting last even
ing in the Thirteenth ward assembly
hail. The meeting was largely atten-
ded by representative protestants and
the prevailing sentiment crvstal'z Il
into a decision "to commence suit
against the city for the return of the
monies Illegally retained by the city. =
and A. H. Raleigh was chosen as the
! representative of the peoples rights" "
For the purpose of bringing the suit
Mr.. Raleigh was chosen the assignee
of those holding paid under protest
tax receipts, and notice was given that
these tax receipts must be so assigned
/ to him within two weeks. The follow
ing named persons were designated to
make the assignments: Adam Spiers,

THE STRANGER

An Eastern LSSSnu.
An aged man came late to Abraham's
The sky was dark, and all the plain
was bare.
He asked for bread; his strength was

His haggard look implored the tender
The food was brought. He sat with
thankful eyes.
But spake no grace, nor bowed he to-
ward the east.
Safe7sheltered here from dark and angry
skies,
The bounteous table seemed a royal
But ere his hand had touched the tempt
ing fare,
The Patriarch rose, and leaning on his
Stranger" he said, "dost thou not
bow in prayer?
Dos thou not fear, dost thou not wor-
ship God?"
"Thou hast my pity. Go! eat not my
bread"
Another came that wild and fearful
night
The fierce winds ragged, and darker
grew the sky;
But all the tent was filled with wonder
And Abraham knew the Lord his God
was nigh.
Where is that aged MANI the presence
THAT asked for shelter from the driv-
Who made thee master of thy Masters
bread?
What right hast thou the wanderer
forth TO cast?
Forgive me, Lord, the Patrlarch
answer made,
With downcast look, with bowed and
trembling knee.

Tooele County People Are Working
For the Improvement.
AS stated some time ago by The
Herald would be the case, the people of
Tooele county are to have a much
needed Touring mill. Within the next
week or two the contracts for the ma
chinery are to be awarded, and by the
early part of the year it is anticipated
that flle plant will be in operation.
Fa some time past the site of the
plant sayTooele City has been in litiga-
ton. but now q settlement of the case
has been effected and the title is clear.
This removes all doubt as to the build
ing and equipping of the mill. Tooele
county has for many years. in fact
since its settlement, been greatly han
iicappeo by the lack Of Touring min
aud now that the people are to have
sne they are considerably elated.

..THE SUBSTITUTES
Ezra Kendall Mt the Theatre Last
Night.

The performance at the theatre last
evening was only fairly attended, but
those present seemed to find considera-
BILE entertainment in the funny. dialogue
and humorous situations of the Sub
stitute." 1t is not piece that appeals
to the appreciation of the highest class
of theatrical patrons but many seemed
to find genuine entertainment in it. Mr..
Ezra Kendall is a comedian Of great ex-
perience, who knows now to cater to
certain humorous requirements, and
his company are not SO bad, but still
we scarcely feel that they give a show
worth what it costs to see. It is an
instance of where popular prices should
prevail, as there are many who would
thoroughly enjoy the piece and vel
would not want to pay full prices tc

THAT OLD BIBLE.
Mr.. Robt f. Cart, Of LaDue, Miss
Ouri, Knows Something ofIts
Past History,
Brought from Virginia by Leonard
Cart, His Grandfather, Many
Years Ago.
HOW SCHMIT GOT IT.

LADUE. Mo, Feb. 10, 1894 Ma.
EDIroR.-In last weeks issue of the
News correspondent from Tobinsport
gives a description of an old German
bible owned by one, John Schmit, of
Perry county, Indiana, and concludes by
saying that the present owner knows
nothing of its former owners, save that
some of the Corners near Rome, Ind :,
/ once owned it. Now, permit me to say
that none of the persons referred to ever
owned the book.
About the beginning of the present
century, Leonard Cart, my grandfather,
removed from West Virginia, then a
pant of Virginia, and settled near Union
Star,Ky. lie brought the book referred to
with him. 1t remained in his possession
until his death in 1858 or 50, it then re-
NAMED with my father until his death,
in the early part of the year 1868. The
book then remained at my mothers I'M
til the last of March 1864. About the 10th
OF March, in the last year referred to,
Mrs. Margaret Conner, living near
Derby, Ind, removed to my mothers
home in Kentucky and about three
weeks after Mrs. Conner, r. T. Conner,
her son, then about Is years old, and
myself went to Rome, Ind, to get some
flour at the Model mill. The old bible
was taken along as it was thought man
named, John Schmit would want it. We
crossed the river in the old mill skiff,
free of ferriage, and left the bible in
Stephensport, having forgotten it. 1t was
windy day and the river was very
rough, after reaching the Indiana side it
was discovered that the bible had been
left behind. No one could be found to
make the trip in small skiT and bring
it over. About a half hour afterwards
Mr.. E. II. Miller, of Stephensport,
brought it over. 1t was taken to Schmit
and left.
Thus the old book disappeared from
sight, but not from memory. These state
ments may seem strange, but they are facts
nevertheless. l have wondered many
times what had become OF it.
The only person now living who can
give any further particulars is Mrs.
Katherine Basham, near Union Star,
Ky Yours respectfully,
r. +. CART.
