nounce the words until over the great
est portal was craven, "Dies faustus"-
Happy day! Happy day for Salt Lake!
HAPPY day for this magnificent young
commonwealth that with swelling pro-
portions and blooming cheeks and rose
ate lips-'just sweet siXteen"-counts
with Impotence the days that divide
her from maturity. Happy day for US
all when this new temple is given to
beautify and adorn our city and terri
tory.
For 600 years it was a beautiful GUS
tom of the Venetians in recognition Of
the commerce that came to them in
ships, annually, as Ascension day, with
solemn ceremonies to cast a ring into
the Adriatic and thus wed their city
to the sea. But we are more blessed
than they. Upon no single resource
does the prosperity of our city depend.
The mountains send us the wealth of
the mines and embrace In their mighty
arms, for a season, the frozen rain
that in due time will seek the valleys
and cause them to produce our har-
vests of fruits and grains-focks and
nerds to craze upon our hillsides. We
are in the center of region of vast
proportions and receive the tribute of
its trade. We are surrounded by mar
vels in nature that are ever reckoning
sinner, saint and pilgrim hither, and
with it all a climate the most perfect
in the world. These are our possess
sions. We have no need to be wed to
| them-they are ours by the gracious
gift of the creator, and no new lover
can ever lure them from us or make
them inconstant.
The destiny of this city is fixed and
unalterable. 1t will unfold day by day
and year by year. Other structures
than this will be erected, as others
have been erected before, but none
that are to come-no matter. how mag
nificent-can fire our hearts with the
joy that comes to us as we look 11pon
this
Today we dedicate it to the great
purposes for which it was erected. LET
us thank those untiring, faithful. hon
est public servants who served us so
well in its construction, and in conse-
Grating it to the future let us demand
that those who enter it hereafter in the
service of the people shall enter it bv
honest methods and with records as
stainless as the stones of which n Is
builded, to the end that within 4hese
walls may be exemplified the highest

joint city and county building cele-
brated yesterday afternoon and even
ing. From early in the afternoon I'M
til late in the night there waS a con-
tinuous stream of people going and
coming, and all told fully 10000 citi-
zens availed themselves of the oppor-
tunity to inspect the magnificent struc-
ture from pit to dome, and pass opin-
ion on its utility, solidity and COM
pleteness in every detail. The Den

rendered inspiring music that added a
charm to the splendor of the surround

agantly furnished council chamber were

All the while the throng was passing
to and fro on all the floors, and a few
minutes after 8 o'clock Councilman E.
p. Newell, as master of ceremonies,
called the assemblage to order in the
council chamber, which for the occa-
sion had been tastefully decorated with
palms and ported plants from hot
houses and fragrant, beautiful hou-
Quets.
In few well chosen words Council

for the commencement of work on the
magnificent structure. He believed the
originators of the joint building acted
wisely when they decided upon having
an edifice like the one we now have on
the present site. We had an abiding
faith in the future then and that faith
is even Intensified now. That people
are Judged by the character Of their
public buildings, he believed to be a
well-established fact. Mr.. Scott ex-
pressed his regrets at the inability of

Oil Immediately caught fire, and every
thing in the room being dry and of a
inflamable nature, the room was soon
a mass of flames. Some one shouted:
Shut the door and keep quiet; it
can be put OUT
BY this time the confusion was so
great that people began scram-bling in
wild endeayor to reach the door.
Women and children were trampled
under foot, and as there was only one
exit to the hall and the fire being be-

the door, many people rushed head
long into the flames.

INCOME TAX SUIT.
A Demurrer is Filed 20 the Com-
pIaint of John G.. Moore

Washington Dec. 2S.-Assistant At
torney General Whitney has filed in the
district supreme court a demurrer to
the complaint of John G. Moore,
against Commissioner Miller, of the in
ternal revenue bureau, in which he
asks for an injunction restraining the
latter from collecting the income tax
imposed by the new tariff. The demur-
rer is very brief and general in it's
terms, setting forth that the complain
ant has not made such a. case as would
in any equity court entitle him to the
relief sought. At the request of Mr..
Whitney the case is set for hearing on
january 8. The case is attracting at
tentIon among government officials,
many Of whom express the opinion
that the complainant has absolutely
no case. They also believe the plaintiff
will find it impossible to raise the con-
stitutIonal question in the present pro-
ceedings because an injunction is not
the proper proceeding in such a case
and is i'm fact expressly prohibited by

Indictments.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Captain Henry
HoWgate, ex-disbursing officer of the
slgnal service, was arraigned today be-
lore the district supreme court on
three indictments. His counsel .Iera
Wilson and A. S. Worthington. pleaded
irregular proceedings by the grand
jury. The governments demurrer to
this plea, filed by District Attorney
Bierney, was argued before Judge Nc
Comas during the afternoon. Howgate
asked that the Indictment be quashed,
on the ground that the United States
grand Jurors considered statements
made by persons not sworn as wit
nesses nor otherwise qualified to testi-
fly, and none of them had any personal
knowledge Of the matter considered.
