HAUNTED!

A haunted house in these practical
and romantic days is something OF a
rarity, but an individual haunted with
the idea that his ailment is incurable
is parsonage frequently met with.
DISBELIEF in the ability of medicine TO
cure Is only mild form Of monomania,
although in some cases repeated fail
ures to obtain relief from many diff
ferent sources would almost seem to
justify the doubt. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has demonstrated its ability to
overcome dyspepsia, constipation, liver
and kidney trouble, malarial complaints
and nervousness, and its recorded
achievements In the curative line ought
at least to warrant its trial by any one
troubled with either of the above all
ments, even although his previous ef-
forts to obtain remedial aid have been
fruitless. Used with persistence, the
Bltters will conquer the most obstinate
cases.

in fooling the people. What farce 1t
was for the democracy to carry the
country on alleged tariff reform, and
have no more policy on the subject than
a herd Of Texas steersl How Infinitely
ludicrous It was for the manufacturing
states to vote. as several OF them did,
to turn over their enormous interests in
diversified industry TO the states where
the democrats vote for themselves and
the republicans also, and think. as the
virginians did in the last century, it Is
the duty Of the United States to find
England in free raw material and take
her manufacturers

II was the proud boast of the magnif-
cent Voorhees, that he was going to
suppress the sugar trust. He meant to
do 1t by putting small tax on raw
sugar and a smaller tax on refined
sugar. Voorhees, may deny that he ever
said any such thing. but it was so
stated in a mugwump newspaper. But
Voorhees, can say he never expected
several things that have happened to oc-
cur. He had no idea of sugar-bounty

Wide Open and Thundered over Cul-

ling around and, having few minutes
off, bought ticket and went in. AS I
sat down there was a girl playing a
piano in a way that made me feel all
over in spots. AS soon as she sat down
on the stool / knew by the way she
handled herself that she understood the
engine she was running.
"She tapped the keys away up one
end just as if they were gauges and she
wanted to see If she had water enough.
Then she looked up as II she wanted to
know how much steam she was carry
ing, and the next minute she pulled
open the throttle and sailed onto the
main line as If she was half an hour
late.
you could hear her thunder over cul-
verts and bridges, and getting faster
and faster until the girl rocked about
in her seat like a cradle. Somehow
thought It was old '76' pulling pas

keys on the middle division like light

end of the line until the drivers went
around like buzz-saw, and by the holy
smoke / got excited.

the girl to cut her off a little she kicked
the dampers under the engine wide
open, pulled the throttle way back in
the tender, and how she did run!
couldn't stand it any longer, and yelled
to her that she was pounding ON the
left side, and If she wasn't careful she'd
drop her ashpan.
"She went around curves like bull

straight, because l knew the game was
up.
"Sure enough, dead ahead of us was
the headlight Of a special. In daze
heard the crash as they struck, and l
saw cars shivered into atoms, people
smashed and mangled and bleeding and
gasping for water. / heard another
crash as the girl struck the deep keys
away down ON the lower end of the
southern division, and then | came to
my senses.
There she was at a dead standstill,
with the door of the fire box Of the en-
gine open, wiping the perspiration off
her face, and bowling to the people be-
fore her. If l live to be 1000 years old

some forest fairy queen.
Flowers were never SO largely used as
now. Roses are most admired, and are
arranged in compact little clusters all
over the crown under the brim, Some
times several colors Of roses, petunlas
and violets are seen on one hat, and
dimly suggest an old-fashloned flower

You often need little wine, and
should never be without it in the house.
But be sure that it is good; bad wine
might injure your stomach, and GER
tainly cannot improve it.
Good liquor dealers have good custom

afford to sell any other kind.

thfngsl We had turkey, for instance;
and it is not every day we have tur-
key. We have liver frequently; but we
have crossed many, many weary
wastes of time, without ever d turkey
in sight With us, life has been al
most always a, season of fitting be-
tween eXtremes-turkey today, and
feathers tomorrow, so to speak. We
were thankful for the turkey, and also
that we were here and had popperton
place. ct was there in poppertOn, by
the way, that we had the turkey; but
that's neither here nor there-see dia-
gram-so we'll let that pass) AS a
other things to be thankful for, and we
scraping in acknowledgment of the ia
vors which kind Providence had
showered upon US. Not least of his
kindness has been the way he mas
worked on the hearts of the people of
Salt Lake, to see and appreciate durln 9
the past year the countless DeautleS OF
popperton; ne has directed many OF our
best citizens to us, and we nave TRADED
some of our lots for some OF their
money; and to save your lie, yOu
couldn't tell whether we or they were
the happiest; so we gave thanks; thal
is all we had to give; but next year
naybe we will be abe to do better

|tation was good, but that Of the family
was bad
Benjamin f. Olson was acquainted
with the Fensternakers and considered
their reputation was good
Ernest A. Bogadal the father of the
girl, who goes by the name of Caroline
Hansen. was next examined and said
the child was brought from Denmark
by the sister Of the witness. She lived
with witness for a while and at that
time was in the habit of running away
without any apparent cause. Witness
had no good way of taking care of her
and allowed her to go to the Fenster-
makers.

the plaintiff. next took the stand. He
said he was born in Pennsylvania,
seventy years ago.. He was in the
Mexican war and had a. pension. Had
lived in Tooeles county for about twenty
five years. He remembered the time
his wife brought the little girl to live
with them. She was Eighty and pecu-
liar in her ways. He always treated
her well and SO did his wife and other
members of the family. He would not
have permitted anyone to iiltreat her.
She ran away several times without
any apparent cause. They always
searched for her and she was glad to
come home. Her mind was weak and
she was nervous. Witness said he had
known Manager Lannan, of the Tri-
bune, for twenty-five years. Used to
talk with him on general subjects; was
subscriber to the Tribune, and once,
some years ago. had a nlisunderstand-
ing about not receiving his paper regu-
larly and both Mr.. Lannan and he got
a little mad.
He never had corrected the child or
raised his finger to her. His wife cor
rected her mildly sometimes.
The Tribune had never retracted the
statements made in the article, but wit
ness had caused the true statements OF
the case to be published in The Herald.
Cross-examined by Judge Hiles wit
ness testimony was mistaken.
Attorney J. A. Williams was the last
witness examined and in reply to at
torney Zane said that he had not
sought out Fenstermaker for the pur-
pose of inducing him to commence the
suit for libel. A friend of his, named
kellogg. had told him if he. would go and
see Fenstermaker he would probably
get a good suit. He went md from

tiff and it was established that the
parties intermarried at Newcastle-on-
Tyne, England, on June 81, 1874, and
there are seven children, whose ages
range from IS to two and a half years
The plaintiff testified that she came to
this country some six years ago, and
her husband followed a year later, she
having furnished him with the pas
sage money. During the last four
years he had not given her a cent, and
She had obtained a livelihood for her
self and family by her own labor. 1t
was stated that the defendant has
been idle and profigate, and a witness
who is well acquainted with the par
ties said she had not known Simpson
to do a days work since he came to
this country.
The defendant is something of a
prospector and he did not now answer.

the children, and allowed her $25 per

Inc turkey we had on Thanksgiving
DAY at our house, obtained access to
our table under false pretenses. In
Stead OF being, as he represented him
self to be a modern fowl, ne was in
truth and fact, a relic of antiquity:
put we tackled him just the same. and
after protracted combat, yanquished
him, and left his shining skeleton on
the field of battle. Then the day was
done; the sun had drawn his last arrow
from his culver, and the sable pinions
OF night were spread over the city; 50
we boarded a car, and hied ourselves
away to Fort Douglas, where a con-
slderate friend had saved US a place at
his board. just as the car rounded the
corner of popperton, and sped away
towards Fort Douglas, some unseen
hand in the city at our feet, touched
the button, and out of the inky dark
ness of the valley below. there sprang
into life a thousand electric lights
And now maybe you think it wasn't a
great sight! There never was anything
like 1t in the world except right here.
Human language is utterly inadequate
to describe the beauty of the spectacle.
If the subiimity of the scene could only
be heralded abroad people would come
to see it from the farthermost corners
of the earth. Imagine if you will, a
bushel of glistening diamonds thrown
upon a surface of velvet; but then
what is the use of imagining anything
that would be but base imitation of
what we are trying to describe. Go and
see it yourself. 1t will make you think
that every footyof that ground is worth
$20,00000, and you will sell your clothes
to get money enough to buy lots in
popperton at the ruinous figures we are
offering
