Fairfield, which occurred at the residence Of
the brides father on Thursday, Dec. o..
When Mrs. DR. Wilson played Mendels-
sohns wedding march, Rev g. E. Hill ap-
peared, accompanied by Henry Schroeder
as best man and Miss Daifie Dodge as
bridesmaid, followed by the bride and
groom. The bride wore an elegant light
wine colored dress, trimmed with exquisite
taste and exceeding daintiness. She made
pleasing and handsome appearance. Rev.
Hill used the impressive Methodist service
in performing the ceremony. The congrat-
ulations of those present were showered up
on the happy couple with heartiness that
betokened sincerity. After this came the
wedding supper, which did credit to those
who prepared 1t. Mr.. and Mrs. Munson
were the recipients of many handsome and
useful presents.

privilege of cancelling portion of his
policies, receiving back the unearned
premium.
As an example of the effects of the
contract, we will concede that concur
rZnt policies are written for say $751;
600 upon stock which is valued, at the
| time of the issuance of these policies,
at $40, 600. By sales, depletion or de-
probation the stock, during the life of
| the policies, becomes reduced in value,
as shown by the inventories and other
data, to $4,000. The policies are not
disturbed and the property, therefore.
becomes fully insured. Possibly the
stock may be depleted to a greater ex-
tent, say $4,000 or $751; 600; it is there
\ fore over-insured and unquestionably
an increased moral hazard is involved.
| The effect of the rule would be, in
the first instance, in event a total loss
occurred and it was shown by the
! books and other vouchers that the
stock at the date of the fire was worth
$4,000, that the insurance in force
would be three-quarters of that
amount, or $4,000, and the adjustment
would be made upon that basis.
| In the event of a partial loss, not ex-
ceeding three-fourths of the value of
the property, the entire amount of the
claim, as adjusted, would be the liza
bility under the policies.
We have endeavored to make this
idea plain, in order that our agents
may meet the inquiries which are
| arising

Chief Justice Merritt in the case of
ct. al sustained the demurrer and
ordered the case dismissed on the
ground that there was no cause of
action. The plaintiff who is road super
visor of district No. brought suit to
recover $40 from Jones for Damages
done to the high way through Echo
canyon caused by the latter driving a
flock of sheep over the road. The case
came up on appeal from judgment for
the plaintiff rendered in Justice Monse's
court at Echo and has been hanging
fire in the Third district court for more
than year. It was argued on de-
murrer by Attorney Franklin S. Rich
ards on behalf of the defendant and
appellant and by County Attorney
Tewkesbury Of Summit county for the
plaintiff, last Wednesday. The action
was brought under section 2OS7 or laws
of Utah 1888, which provide that amy
person who drives a herd OF horses,
mules, asses, cattle, sheep, goats, or
swine over a public highway where
such highway is constructed on hill
side shall be liable for all damages done
by such animals in destroying the
banks or rolling rocks into or upon such
highway"
Mr.. Richards who was retained by
the Wool Growers association argued
that the statute of the Utah legislature
was illegal and unconstitutional for the
reason that it was in contravention tic
| the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States which
practically provides that all citizens
shall be entitled to the equal enjoyment
of the highways and that no class car
| be singled out and made to pay fol
! damages which might be done by thell
| transporting any property whilst others
| go free. Chief Justice Merritt by his
decision sustained this view and dis
missed the case holding that there was
no cause of action.
| This decision is one of great import
ance to all sheep men. A great many
cases were pending on the outcome Of
the suit which was really test case
and of vital interest to the sheep in
dustry. The herdsmen bring theil
! fiocks to the shores of the great Sal
Lake to winter where the climate is
! comparatively mild and but little snow
lays on the ground and in summer they
drive them along the highways Il
eastern Utah, western Wyoming ant
southern Idaho, for pasture. In thu
course of one of these long drives
1ockmaster under the law as passed
| by the Utah legislature would be liable
| to such pains and penalties as woult
render the transportation of his fiock
! impossible. Sheepnen will be pleased
to learn that they have the same RICH
to the high roads as any other class
| citizens.

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES FLEETING
With Statehood Approaching Some
Move Should BE Made

Move Should BE Made.
There are in this city many en-
thusiastic and public spirited people.
One of them spoke as follows to a Her
aid reporter yesterday:
What are we going to do about it?
Land owners may well ask themselves
the question.
They have heard it said that state
hood in other cases has been followed
by great development, but there was
no general depression to count on and
offset. On the other hand, no other
state had such wonderful resources and
such world of raw materials to be
worked up, or such grand climate to
draw new people. But did not other
places have live men who worked night
and day to get the money of other peo-
pie in the east to their favorite states.
regardless of the real advantage? Did
not money and energy accomplish the
changes we have heard of? And does
the world at large know of the great
resources of Utah, or the many oppor-
tunities existing for the profitable in
Vestment of money here?
ut would seem to be the duty then of
the people who would like to see new
money come in, not for loans, but for
investments and development work, to
w SOlAAclul1lS " let people WHO nave
money know of the great chances here.
1t would appear to be only common
sense for all hands to figure on some
general plan to promote the general
welfare and to see that the increase of
wealth between now and eighteen
months from this time is sufficient to
| offset for taxation purposes the in
| creased expense which will be neces-
sary under statehood. VIII any man
who is interested really in Utah say
that it is impossible to so arrange
affairs as to secure such an increase
of wealth? If so he ought to look
around and discover that we have a
grand empire around us; that the trade
of that empire belongs to chief cities OF
Utah; that new railroad building is
practically assured for a part of that
grand country; that splendid industries
can be established here if the proper
| effort is made to put before the world
| the magnificent opportunity now being
ignored, or not appreciated. Property
owners in particular ought to wake VI
to the possibilities just now and try t.
| do something to formulate the genera
welfare and development. Other cities
do not grow by pursuing the policy
that actuates this city at present.
''Other cities are moving to get theil
share of the money that is burning
holes in the pockets of the people anC
which by and by will be turned loose
somewhere.
I'm the south great efforts are beins
made to get new people and new fac
| tories. It may be a matter of self pre-
servation for the chief city of the inter
mountain region to wake up

WHERE WE ARE AT.

We have been hammering away at
the people through the public press for
several months, on the subject of Pop
perton Place, without any very strong
hope that we would accomplish much
besides educating the people to an APP
probation of our unrivalled property.
After taking an account Of money in
the bank, and lots on hand, we are
pleased to announce that we have been
doing a steady little business right
along; but our chief success is found
in the fact that there are but few peo-
pie in this region who now inquire the
way to our ground. We used to meet
now and then a man who would ask:
''Where is this Popperton Place, any
way?" but they don't do it any more.
ASK anybody where it is, and he will
tell you it is on the east bench, in
front of the cool breeZes of the can
yons, within sound of the martial music
at Fort Douglas, on the line of Salt
Lakes most popular street car line,
and in view of landscape so beautiful
that strangers who visit us go away

THE THREE-FoURTHs CLAUSE.
What the General Managers Say on
the Subject.

What the General Managers Say on
the Subject.
The publication in The Herald yester-
executive committee of the Pacific In
surance Union, enforcing the three
quarter value and loss clause in Idaho,
caused a great deal of comment in in
surance circles. On this same subject
the National Fire Alarm, of San Fran
cisco, the general managers paper, pub
fishes the following article:
The company shall not be liable for
an amount greater than three ourthS
of the actual value of the property COW
cred by the policy at the time of such
| loss; and in case of other permit tied in
surance, valid or invalid concurrently
written or not, then for only its pro rata
proportion of three-fourths value, and
in no event for an amount greater than
the sum insured by this policy.
The increasing demand for the adop-
ton OF what is classified as the Three
quarter value clause" on certain
classes of merchandise. especially on
cities, has led to enquiry by agents and
their clients, as to the practical effect of
this clause in a policy.
| The intent is to make the relations of
| insurance to values, at all times, auto
matte in their workings. The theory of
correct underwriting is that, at all
times, a certain proportion (say one
lfourth) Of the value of the property COW
cred, should be at the risk or hazard of
the assured. Companies. therefore, in
their instructions to their agents, are
strenuous that these relations shall be
observed, and in giving permission for
concurrent insurance, thatait shall in no
case exceed an aggregate of three
fourthS of the value of the property COW
cred.
In the fluctuations of values, caused
by sales, depletion or deprecia ton, or
otherwise. it is not always practicable
to be cognizant of changing conditions,
and while at the inception of the con-
| tract, the amount of insurance TO value
will be- adjusted to the above limits,
| it is altogether possible that these con-
ditions may change and the property
become not only fully insured, but fire.
quently over-insured. These condi-
tons do not always involve the moral
hazard in the Incidental case, but are
always a disturbing element when
after a fire, proofs are required as to
| the amount of insurance, and frequent
| ly cause dissatisfaction on the part OF
the assured toward the company. To
avoid this, and to minimize, as far as
practical, the moral hazard, the three
quarter-value clause is adopted.
This clause works no hardship. The
assured at all times knows the value
of his stock, and should know if he be-
comes oyer-insured. and has then the

is believed that if this can be done, a

herewith tender you an unsolicited
testimonial, which you may use to con-
vince suffering women that there is much
to live for in this world. One year ago
life was burden to me, and 1 think my

turbed and almost distracted. l went 10

three months without cessation and at
the end of that time I was confined to my
bed four days each week. The last six
W eeks I flowed almost continually and
treatment was stopped for two weeks and
steps taken TO stop the flow, and in doing
so my right limb was swollen to an enor-
nous size by reason of cessation. L could
not remain alone in the house in day
time; my nerves were so unstrung to
such an extent that l would spend hours
daily crying. When 1 began the use of
your treatment had lost all hope, but in
three weeks l began to improve and at
