Depression continues, and why?
Here are some of the reasons:
Every manufacturer wants to be
a millionaire, every working man
wants to be "skilled" and receive
fancy wages, every merchant
wants to be a merchant prince.
every doctor wants to be a spec.
ialist and get rich fast, every law
yer wants to be the attorney Of
a great corporation, every prea-
cher wants to be q ID. ID. an q
have charge of a city church, ev-
cry farmer wants his land con-
yerted into town lots and most
OF them INTO corner lots, every
rail road company wishes to span
the continent and bind ocean

a leader in society before $ h e
leaves her teens, and every BOY
wants to be q man before he rea-
chps his. Are we eXtrava9ant III

change it to most every one, and

TRUE COURTESY.

TRUE COURTESY.
Charlotte Democrat: II
You should be courteous
70 everyone, both young and
old. Often young people are
very impolite to old people,
generally through thought
lessness.
Young girls and boys are
inconsiderate of their moth
ers and fathers. sisters and
brothers IN their homes. Very
often when an older member
Of the family en- ter.s the
room, they do not offer them
4 seat.
Sometimes it is through
thOughtlessness and verv Of
ten through pure selfishness.
If we are taught true polite
ness in our early years, when
we grow 20 be men or women
we will hardly go astray
from the home rule.
Just here 1 recall the story
Of a blind lady, who, when
on board the steamer could
not enter into the enjoyment
of the beautifulscenery along
the Hudson river. A kind
and thoughtful little girl
went to her, placed her hand
in hers, saying. 1T is de-
lghtful out; ] know you can
not see the things we are pas
sing, but | will describe them
to you," ahd she did in such
a childlike, graceful manner,
as to completely win the
blind lady's heart. And that
child formed a life long friend
ship, simply by an act of
courtesy to IN entire strahg-
er, which showed her home
training.
We girls especially sholld
cultivate this habit of re-
spect, not only atour homes,
but at school and abroad.
We might by so doing, draw
to us persons who otherwise
it might be, would never be-
come interested in us.
a story is told of a teri
year Old girl, who, on one
occasion took offense a t
something the Grown Prince
said or did to her, and she
very coolly gavehim a sharp
box on the ear, upon which
he ran crying to his mother.
When the little girl was
spoken to about her want OF
courtesy to her little host
(she being invited company,
she refused to say she was
sorry, and showed not a par
ticle Of concern. She was
sent to her mother. who
found that she must keep
her daughter at home until
she taught her better man.
nerS.
BY thoughtfulness and
courtesy in your learning at
} school you will not only
gain the respect and admira-
tion of your teachers, but al
y SO the love of schoolmates,
ard If we cOSduct ourselves
as be, courteous Chris
tians when at home Orin pub
lie, we will indeed stand upon
most enviable ground, and
be truly admired by every
one who appreciates what
is noble and true.

BUTCHERED by TURKS.
Six Thousand Christian Armenians
Massacred.


Massacred.
T h q London Standards
correspondent in Varna de-
srribes the massacre of Ar
menian Christians as ofequal
Importance with the Bulgar-
ian butcheries which led to
the Russo Turkish war. He
says:
"The trouble began with
the refusal Of the Armenians
to pay taxes on the ground
that the Kurdish raids had
so impoverished them as to
render it impossible. This
probably was true. Troops
were sent to enforce the pay
ments, but were beaten off.
"The Governor Of Bitlis
then arrived with an impos-
ing force OF regulars. The
people, seeing that the strug-
Gle was hopeless, yielded, but
the Governor resolved to
make an example of them.
He ordered the troops to fire
on the defenceIess populacp,
and they obryed with alac-
rlty. They only ceased when
the residents Of twenty-five
villages, numbering so m g
| thousands, bad been killed.

Railway Notes.

General Palmer, Colonel Dodge and
the Rio Grade Western people, who
have been looking over the southern
country, returned to Denver yesterday
without coming up to Salt Lake.
1t is whispered among the boys that
a lively little local passenger rate war
was narrowly aVerted on Tuesday.
1.-The claim is made that certain ticket
.iolders had too many tickets of one
road and that the play was quickly
blocked by the competing line.
After today Doc. Burnett, general
agent IF the passenger department
ard ]. D. Kenwarthy, general agent of
the Santa Fe freight department. may
be found on the ground floor at No. 80
West Second South street. This, pro-
viGing the upholsterers and decorators
manage TO push their part of the
work to completion during the day.
The change gives the Santa Fe people
a much greater area of floor to do
business on, and that floor will reve1
in many of the appurtenances and
even IuxCries that are known to such
Offices In much larger cities. A brass
railing and screen such as are used in
banks will keep out the rabble from
the office-room proper. though a gate
is made TO readily admit all having
business to transact. In the rear is a
11rivaue room for the t5snid ones of the
public who would fain talk "confiden-
fjallv." you know; and on the whole
the new office quarters will shine forth

/ offices of deputy sheriff and constable at
Bingham, for which he receives pay from
the county in the sum of $50 per month
! for the duties performed as deputy and
/ ices for services as constable, resigned
! the latter place in order, no doubt that
he may have time to more fully look
after the duties of the more lucrative
place. The resignation was accepted
with thanks.
The board accepted the invitation to be
present at the exhibition drill of the fire
department.
Surveyor Joseph called attention to the
dispute between the road districts and

location of the line. Referred to the Sc
lectmen.
a communication from Lieutenant Jas.

a map OF this county which he desires to
use in making a war map of Utah was
referred to the selectmen.
The board then took recess until 8
in the afternoon.
AT the afternoon session the court in
augurated an era of economy for which
the members are entitled to great credit
Mr.. Roberts led the onslaught against
extravaganza by moving that in future
the allowance for work with teams and
men in Bingham on roads be cut from
IS per day to $3.50 This means a great
saving and while the price is still %
cents per day more than it is on State
road districts. the cost of maintaining
horses there is a great deal more and
this allowance is but fair

scriptions was taken up and its reporter
asked regarding the identity of the firm

and the selectmen will consult with the
druggist upon the matter.
Complaint has been made that many of
the bridges over the Jordan and Salt

St. Paul, May 1.-The matter of the
application in the case of the Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern railroad
for separate receiver. came on to be
heard TO day before Judge Sanborn, in
the United States circuit court. The
motion is made by the American Loan
and Trust company, of Boston,
through their attorneys, Davis KEEL
1ogg, and Severance. of st. Paul and
Moorefield. Storey and Henry D. Hyde
OF Boston.
The trust company is trustee of
what is known as the consolidated
mortgage upon the Oregon Short Line
& Utah Northern road, amounting to
100000. The Union Pacific receiv-
eEs, it is alleged, have operated the
% Mt line solely in the interests of
Jh~SUnion Pacific and paid no interest
on the mortgage. In February, the
application was made to Judge Gill
bert, in Oregon, for the appointment
OF separate receiver, and he ap-
pointed John NJ. Egan. The same ap-
plication is now being heard before
Judge Sanborn. 1t is claimed that if
separate receivers are appointed, the
property will pay sufficient to pay in
terest on the mortgage. and there be-
ing a default in the mortgages, the
American Loan and Trust company
claims the right of possession.
Should the Oregon Short Line re-
main in the hands of the present re-
ceivers, it will soon be lost to the
Union Pacific, because the mortgages
are being foreclosed.
