The city councils committees on san
itary rules and quarantine and on Jor
dan canal and irrigation met last even
ing in the council chamber in joint
session. The matter under considera-
ton was to devise means to prevent the
befouling of the waters of Farley
creek. After considerable discussion it
was decided to recommend to the coun-
Gil the construction of new road
around the heads of Parley's and En-
igration canyons over Little mountain,
SO that the herds of sheep can be driv-
en- through without entering Parley's
canyon and so prevent the droppings
from fouling the waters of the creek.
This road, to construct, will cost abor-
$500, one half of which will be defray ed
by the county and the other half by the
city. provided the scheme is adopted,
which in all probability it will be. 1t
was also resolved to vigorously con-
tinue the crusade against the nuisances
which now exist along the banks of
the creek and to insist on a general
clean up.
The matter of the confirmation of Dr.
McAchran as health commissioner, to
assume the office now held by Dr. Beat
ty, was discussed, but although the in
dications are the appointment will be
confirmed nothing was definitely agreed
upon and no recommendation will be
made to the council at tonight's meet

How much the friends and belongings

bonfire of it's own woes.
There is no kind of character that
needs more sedulouS watching in youth,
or more wholesome discipline in the
forming time of life, than this of the
so called nervous type. When abso-
llutely genuine and not assumed as a

touch are needed for the fit governance
of this hayward and irregular nature.

DEAD BODIES OF INFANTS FIRE.
aUENTLY SEEN IN THE RIVER.
Latest Discovery Was Made by Will

Coroner Taylor and a jury yesterday
afternoon investigated the facts sur
rounding the finding of a prematurely
born babe in the waters of the Jordan
Sunday morning. The find was made by
William Mikesell in the river just below
the sewer stump. 1t was evidently about
a five months foetus.
The verdict of the jury was that the
babes untimely birth and death were
due to criminal malpractice the guilty
parties being unknown. The remains
were inferred by the coroner.
When placed upon the witness stand
Nikesell made substantially the following
statement: Yesterday morning about 8
o'clock, I left my home in the western
part of the city to go fishing. l had pro-
ceeded but a short distance when on
the bank of Jordan river, between Fourth
and Fifth South streets, about seventy

man returned to the body and buried it

from molesting them We then notified

| There seems to be a strong suspicion
that the mother of the babe lives in the
Immediate vicinity and that the father is
negro. Two other little bodies are

TEARING UP TRACKS.

A number of railroad men on strike
were found at 2:3O this morning tear
ing up the Union Pacific track at a
point about two and one-half or three
miles east of Ogden. Word was con-
veyed to Deputy Marshal Evans and
he, with all speed, proceeded to the
scene. Two full length rails were
found torn up and three men who are
supposed to have committed the das-
tardly deed We're arrested and placed
in Jail. What the consequences would
have been had not the discovery been
made, is terrible to contemplate. Hard
lily doubt but the first train coming
Ialong would have been derailed and
no telling how many lives would have
been lost, both trainmen and passen-
gers.

TYING THE KNOT.
What Constitutes a Marriage in Diff
ferenf Countries


To eat maize pudding from the same
plate or to eat in any way together is
widely distributed marriage cere-
mony. In Brazil couple may be mar
ried by drining brandy together; in
Japan, by so many cups of wine; in
Russia and Scandinavia it used to be
one cup for both. The joining of hands
among the Romans and Hindus is
common to many parts of the world
In Scotland it is called hand fasting
and couples live together after. To sit
together on seat While receiving
friends, or TO have the hands of each
tied together with grass, or to smear
with each others blood, or for a
woman to tie cord of her own twist
ing around the naked waist of the
man, constitutes marriage in one form
/ or another In Australia woman
carries fire to her lovers hut and
makes a fire for him. In America she
lays bundle OF rods at the door of
his tent. a Loango negress cooks two
dishes for him in his own hut. In Gro
alta the bridegroom boxes the brides
ears. and in Russia the father former
! " struck his daughter gently with a
new whip-for the last time-and then
! gave the weapon to her husband.
! Down to the present it is customary in
| Hungary for the groom to give the
| bride a kick after the marriage cere-
mony TO make her feel her subsection.
Even with ali civilized people the serv-
| itude Of the bride is clearly indicated.

wont to boast. the crowds which wit

course. in the box where the American
Ambassador and a number of promi-
Inent Englishmen were gathered, the
Englishmen made a point of clapping
their hands when Yale man was
successful. and Mr.. Bayard was equal

the most intense jealousy was mani

In front of what was known as
Yale's pavilion, which was supposed
to be reserved for Americans, a crowd
iof well-dressed men and women gath

these people would turn round and
make insulting remarks.
They call themselves gentlemen"
scornfully remarked a lady in the
American party, and when Yale won
some event and her partisans were re-
joicing. burly Britisher yelled: Re

None of these remarks were made
good naturally, but with the most in

expressed the whole feeling. While

Messrs. Hickok, Of tle Yates, and
Trick, of the Oxfords, were interviewed
by the Associated Press correspondent,
after the games. Fry was very happy.
He said the Oxford team were delight

the Americans had not done their best,

Have Let the Sidewalk Contract.

Hobson & Wilkerson have captured
another city contract. This time it is
the grading of both sides of Second
South street west from Sixth West to
the river and laying of six foot as
phaltum walks on these grades. The
price to be paid is 70 cents per linear
foot.
The board of public works was in
session yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of opening the bids received on
the contract named. Upon the table
four proposals were found and these
received immediate consideration. The
Wasatch Asphaltum company bid S1.40,
D. S. Griffin $3.50, William Holmes 771A
cents for ten foot grade, being half
the width required by the board; Hob
son & Wilkerson bid rs cents. There
were other bids from the same parties
for walks and grades less than the re-
quired twenty foot grade and six foot
walk, but the board took the position
that inasmuch as the property assess
ment had been made for so cents the
people should be given the best walk
possible within that price. The award
was made to Hobson & Wilkerson.
Tonight the city council will be asked
to pass upon the form of contract and
within five days the work of construc-
ton must commence. The total number
of feet embraced in the contract with
the city is $500, but in addition there
are 1000 feet which the Rio Grande
Western will grade and pave itself
