that I won't lose as long as 1 behave

with my father and been content with
the country. Why, say, he lives like
king up there. He has his horses and
carriage; he is Independent as man
can be; he's town clerk and so is count

to work hard in the summer, but in
the winter he takes it easy. I'm saving
my money, and some day I'm going

They may say all they want to about
farming not paying. It's good enough
for me. The farmer doesn't have as
much money maybe as the city man,
but he doesn't have to Spend so much
either. He doesn't have chance to do
such big things, and so he finds fault
sometimes but he forgets or never
knew that risks in town are a hundred
times greater than they are on the farm

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.
Mr.. Baskin Is BusiIy Engaged in its
Preparation.

Mayor Baskin's annual message
soon to be submitted to the city coun-
Gil will be by long odds the most i'm
portant ever put out by any chief ex-
ecutive of this city, treating as it will
largely of the financial conditions of
the city and recommending methods by
which the fallen fortunes of the NUM-
cipality can be recuperated. His honor
has until the first of the coming month
in which to submit his message, and it
is very probable that he will take all
the allotted time, as there are still a
number of reports which he has not
received from heads of departments
These reports do not necessarily need
to be in until next Monday.
When he has all of the department
repeats before him the mayor will
strike a balance and give it to the
council. This balance will be heavily
on the debtor side and the mayor has
devoted much time to an attempted
solution of the problem of clearing off
the Indebtedness and paying the run
ming expenses of the municipality. He
has arrived at but one conclusion and
that has taken shape in the bill now
before Congress providing for the in
crease in the bonding power OF the
city. There is no other way and the
mayor has the hearty support of every
thinking man in the city, regard less
of how little they desire to go further
into debt The conditions demand
the increase in the bond issue and in
order to carry on the city government
the money must be forthcoming at

MISTAKES.

CIT INTERESTS YOU. !"
1t Is Most Surprising That Men and
Women should Not Have Understood
This Before. But it Is Fortunate That
They Do Now.

s'It is surprising what mistakes even
some of the best people in the world
make
The speaker was one of the greatest
doctors the world has ever known.
Take, for example, one of the most
common things in the world, namely.
cold People speak of taking cold;'
there is really no such thing. A cold is
symptom, an effect, not a cause.
Did you ever know an absolutely we'll
and healthy person who took cold? L
never have. even under the greatest
exposure. Yes. indeed cold is
symptom, not cause.
The gentlemen and ladies to whom
the doctor was speaking exchanged
looks of establishment but they did not
dispute the words of the learned man.
you may be surprised" he continu-
ed, when I tell you that nine-tenths
of all colds occur because those great
organs of the body. the kidneys, are
out of order. More men and women
are troubled with imperfect kidneys
than with any other known form of
disease. The unfortunate thing about
it is that they do not know that this
is their trouble. Why? Because all
difficulties, arrangements, and diseases
of the kidneys are usually without any
pain, in fact, without any symptoms
whatever. and this proves just what L
said at first. namely, that "a cold is
SYMPTOM"
The look of amazement which were
upon the faces of his hearers remained,
while the doctor continued:
What l say is true. If you have
cold in the head, a cough, pain in the
muscles or joints. if you sneeze or
wheeze. do not try to doctor these
symptoms, but go at once to their
cause. which is invaribly the kidneys.
Use the best discovery of modern times
for these organs, which is Warmers
Safe Cure. Put your kidneys in proper
condition and any cold, however bad it
may be, will disappear as if by magic.
Indeed" continued the doctor, most
deliberately and earnestly, 81 assert
that the grip, which has been so dis
asterous, which has brought so much
trouble into the world, would never
have had its run if the kidneys of those
who had suffered from it had been in
perfect condition. These great organs,
if unclogged, would have thrown the
disease from the system so that the
grip would have been unknown"
The doctors words, startling as they
may seem, were true, and the remedy
of which he spoke the only one known
to the world for regulating the kidneys
No class of people know or realize this
better than the medical profession, but
thousands of men and women have
learned it to their own great advanr-
age

Message.

The city council met in caucus last
evening. President Mccormick presid-
ed. The session was private, but at
its close Mr.. Mccormick, in conversa-
ton with a Herald reporter, stated
that it was almost the unanimous
opinion of the members that a general
reduction was an absolute necessity.
1t was not his own. wish, nor was it
the wish of any of the members to cut
salaries, but the financial condition of
the city is such that it is a case of
Hobson's choice. Moreover, the pres
ent council, said the president, was
elected on pledges of retrenchment, and
to be faithful to its trust these pledges
must be carried out and reductions
made until such time as the financial
conditions will warrant a return to
the old rates. He pointed out that a
very general reduction had taken place
in the salaries of all other classes of
employees and he did not gee why the
employees of the city should be ex-
ceptiOns to this general rule. These
being the views of a majority of the
members, the question under discus
sion was not as to whether a, general
reduction should be made, but as to
the amount of the reductions. In this
there was diversity of opinion The
reduction will strike every department
including the police, fire and health.
The heads of the departments will be
reduced and so will the rank and file.
The new schedule has not been agreed
upon, but the council will caucus again
tonight and endeavor to formulate a
schedule. When an agreement as to
the amounts of the reduction is reach
ed, said Mr. Mccormick, an ordinance
viii be drawn up and presented at
regular meeting of the council and
put upon its passage. 1t is not ex-
pected that this can be done by next
Tuesday, but it will be pushed as rap
idly as possible. The salaries of the
elective officers, he said, was beyond
the power of the council to deal with.
Speaking of the consolidation of of
fees, Mr. Mccormick said this would
be done where practicable, but it was
only so in few instances and where
possible the number of employees will
be reduced.
From other sources it was CLEANED
that reduction of soc. a day in the
salaries of the patrolmen and f1remen
would probably be agreed upon and
that similar percentage would be
Topped from those getting higher wages.
1t is thought the office of sanitary
inspector is permanently abolished and
that the duties of the office will de-
volve upon the health commissioners

BURNING Bank of England Notes.


With the Bank of England, the des-
truction of its notes takes place about
once a week, and at z p. m 1t used to
be done in the daytime, but made such
a smell that the neighboring stock
brokers petitioned the governors to do

viously Cancelled by punching hole
through the amount Gin figures) and
tearing off the signature of the chief
cashier. The notes are burned in
closed furnace, and the only agency
employed is shavings and bundles of
wood. They used to be burned in
cage, the result of which was that once
a week the city was darkened with
burned fragments of notes. For future
purposes of reference, the notes are
left for five years before being burned.
The number of notes coming into the
Bank of England every day is about
$4,000, and 100000 are destroyed every
week, or something like 1S,0000OO every
year.
The stock of paid notes for five years
is about 77.745,000 in number, and they
fill 13, 400 boxes, which if placed side

THIRD PRECINCT DEMOCRATS.
They Elect Their Club officers for
Next Year.

The Wasatch Democratic club met
last night in the Seventeenth ward
school house to elect officers for the
ensuing year. w. A. Hodges occupied
the chair. All members were re-
quired to sign the roll before being al
lowed to vote.
Nominations for president were then
declared in order, Mr.. Ostler nomi-
mated James Haslam. Mr. Green
named b. I. Lloyd, Joseph Pugsley
nation. H. A. Smith in a neat little
speech seconded the nomination of B.
I. Lloyd, and Herbert Pembroke sup
ported the nomination of E. E. Rich.
The nominations were declared closed
and the chair appointed as tellers A.
b. Hyde. w. j. Newman and Oliver
Ostler.
AT this juncture, E. e. Rich desired
to withdraw his name from the race
for president of the club The only
desire he had he said, was to create
harmony in the Third" and hoped
the strongest man would be placed at
the head of the association.
After the first ballot Mr.. Haslam
withdrew his name. B. T. Lloyd was
elected on the second ballot, receiving
70 out of A votes. The election was
then made unanimous.
Inc chair appointed Messrs. Rich
ana HaSlam to escort Mr. LLOYD TO the
chair, who then asked the support of
the club while acting as president, AS
such he said he would tolerate no fac-
tons as he represented the solid
Democracy of the Third precinct.
L. j. Everill and John Green were
elected first and second vice-presidents
respectively by reclamation and III a
Smith was chosen secretary in a SINH
lar manner.
A. q. Hyde and E. L. Sloan were
placed in the running for treasurer
The former was the winner and his
election was declared unanimous.
G. E. Sherwood of the Sixteenth
ward, E. L. Sloan of the Seventeenth.
Joseph Pugsley of the Nineteenth. i
H. Haslam of the Twenty-second and
F. S. Fernstrom of the Twenty-third
were elected as members of the execu-
tive committee. The president was
empowered to select one member from
each of the six wards of the precinct
to form the committee on memberships.
Mr.. Haslam moved that a committee
of three on entertainment be appoint
ed by the president to assist the pre-
siding officers in the getting up of
entertainments of various kinds that
the Democrats of the Third precinc6
unite their joys more frequently. The
motion prevailed.
The business of the evening being
concluded a hearty vote of thanks was
rendered the retiring officers. The
best feeling prevailed at the meeting

THE REPUBLICAN ATTITUDE.
Speaker Emery Will Stop the Bull
DOING of the Majority.

The bulldozing tactics that have
supposed to be the Republican leaders
lin the House have Disguised a great
many who have been compelled to
listen to them and bear up under them,
and many have praised the Democratic
side for the dignifed stand taken by
the minority in the matter. No one,
however. has grown more Disguised
over this oft repeated offense from
the majority side than have some of
the Republicans themselves, and it
has become manifest that unless the
nonsense stops and the supposed lead
ers stop rendeavoring to make political
capital for themselves to the exclusion
of everything else, some one will be
Quietly sat down upon.
Speaker Emery has been laboring
ever since this spirit manifested itself
to have the method of procedure
dropped and several times has pri-
vately admonished the offenders that
they must not trifie too much even if
they are on the majority side The
speaker is a fair man and he is in
|clined to have everything flow as
smoothly as possible without any harsh
faction on the part of the chair. but
if the nonsense continues some of these
days he will quietly crush the offenders
and that will be the last of it. It is
well known that in the Republican
caucus, which was far from har-
monieus, a Salt Lake man was urged
for the speakership and that there
were several members who were very
much opposed to the election of Mr.
Emery. These disgruntled ones are
now bent on making it warm and un-
comfortable for the speaker, but if
they are not careful they will be hurt
'Drett~ badly.

THE CARE OF TIE CANARY.
Every Little Defender should Heed
These Instructions.

OF all birds to keep in the nursery
canaries are certainly the incest. They
are very affectionate, and can be tanned
to almost any extent. In buying a bird
be sure to go to respectable shop or
you may be cheated. The writer heard
Of one lady. who. to her disgust, dis
covered she had bought a sparrow
painted yellow, thinking it very
handsome canary. She had given a
large price for it.
The best cages for canaries are those
made of mahogany or any other hard
wood. Be sure never to buy one made
Of FIR or other soft and porous woods
as they harbor insects. Cages are real
ly best made chiefly of wire; these are
light and neat and easily kept clean
The food and water vessels should all
ways be of glass or porcelain, and
placed outside the cage, so as 10 let
the bird have the whole of the inter-
ior to himself. For one bird the cage
should not be less than twelve inches
in height and eight inches in length
and BREADTH. Each cage should have
two perches, not under one another
The best food is canary and turnin
seed (the smaller summer rape seaD.
in the proportion of one-third or one
fourth of the latter to two-uhirds or
three-fourths of the former
A little variation in their food occa-
sionally will be found conducive to the
health and we'll being of birds. Oat-
meal or greats now and then, mixed
witt their seed or given in the little
tin box with which cages are usually
furnished, will be useful; chickweed.
groundSel or a lettuce leaf should be
given three or four times a week, eX-
cept in breeding cage. A small lump
of bay salt, or a piece of old mortar
is good for them to peck at, and a slice
of apple, pear, plum or cherry will
be gratefufssto the birds, if not too
often repeated.
1t is most important that canaries
should be kept dry, clean and warm,
and their owners must not forget that
these charming little birds are foreign
ers, and therefore cannot always bear
exposure to draughts in which hardy
American birds thrive.
When keeping pets children should
try to realize the kind of country and
especially the sort of climate natural
to them. 1t will then be easy to sur
round them with what is best suited
to the nature of each.
For instance, remembering the
bright, hot sunshine to which birds
from distant lands are accustomed. if
would be well to place the cage in 2
nice, safe, warm place daily.
But the poor little bird must not be
left to sfliver when the sunshine has
passed; it is better to move his cage
before that moment. This should not
be forgotten by the young mistress or
master who wants to keep a net
healthy and happy.-New York World.
