The Masonic order is doing good
work, and forcing things somewhat,
so as to have everything up to date
and in good shape when the summer
recess begins, which will be about
July 1. The blue lodges held their
stated conclaves last week, and in
some cases special meetings for work
were held.
The Eastern Star met on Friday
night, and transacted routine business.
1t was decided to hold the anniversary
celebration on June 20. Last year the
celebration took the form of an ex-
cursion to Saltair, but this year, after
much discussion, it was decided to
hold the celebration in the Masonic
hall, on the evening of June 20, and
that it would take the form of an
anniversary address and musical
and literary programme followed by a
supper.
Masons all over the country are look
Ing forward to the grand triennial
eonclave of the Knights Templar, to

General Irish. head of the irrigation de-
partment of the department of agricul-
ture, sent into the western states and ter
ritories by Secretary Morton for the pur-
pose of studying the irrigation methods
in use here in order that he might make
an intelligent report to the department
for use in the education of the farmers
OF the states of Kansas and Nebra ska as
to general irrigation, is still in the city,
and as before, his headquarters are at
the Cullen. Since his coming to this ter
r1tory, the general has spent several
weeks in a careful study of the small
farms in the north, south and central
sections, and it is his intention to also
visit Idaho. Wyoming and Colorado be-
fore he ends his visit to the west for the
purpose of there also inspecting the ir-
rlgation work and comparing the meth
DDS in use with those of this territory,
the birthplace of irrigation.
In converse ton with a Herald reporter
yesterday, the general stated that dur
ing his stay here he has CLEANED a Won
derful amount of information on the sub
Ject matter now under consideration by
him. He pronounces the small farms of
Titan the superior of anything of sim
liar nature he has ever seen, and his Of
hcial report to the department will dwell
largely upon the benefits to be derived
from the cultivation of comparatively
small tracts where that cultivation is
done by means of irrigation and scien-
tific care. One of his greatest surprises
was the productiveness of the Utah soil
and the diversified crops raised here,
which are both in striking contrast with
those of the middle western states where
great tracts are planted and left to the
grace of the Almighty, who sometimes
rebukes this faith without works by
lighting all of the crops and producing
seasons of drought.
After returning to Washington, the
general will be given sixty days in which
to draft his official reports and prepare
his exhibits for use in the experiments to
be carried on by the department and the
government experimenting station. 1t is
Understood that his returns are to be
made use of in bringing to the attention
of the people in those districts where
drought has visited for the past three or
four years the many advantages of irri-
cation. The government may also take
active steps TO secure the reclamation of
the arid regions by the construction of
dams and reservoirs in places to be des-
ignated by the various state irrigation
boards.
General Irish will leave for Idaho on
Tuesday,

San Francisco, June 81. X. Emmett,
Jr., the German dialect comedian, at
tempted to murder his wife last night,
and was ouly- prevented from execut-
ing his design by the forcible interfer-
ence of neighbcrs. Emmett had been
about town all day and in the evening
returned home IN q drunken condition.
He and his wife had an alteration,
and the woman fed from the house.
Emmett pursued her into the street and
fired a pistol at her at close range.
Then he caught the unfortunate wo-
man and beat her about the face with
the butt end of the weapon. Two young
men pulled the maddened actor from
his victim and turned him over to the
police. Mrs. Emmett was taken to the
receiving hospital. where she refused
to allow her wounds to be examined.
She had a violent attack of hysteria
and the surgeons could do nothing with
her. She insisted that she had not been
shot and said her husband was too big
a coward to She. her There was a
slight wound IN her temple, and the
police surgeons think nat the bullet
glanced from the bone and lodged I'm
de- the scalp. Baby Sinnot, a preco-
cious child who plays with the EN-
NETS, made a heroic attempt to save
Mrs. Emmett from her husbands wrath,
but was thrown aside by the drink
crazed man. Emmett and his wife re-
Gently concluded an engagement at
local theatre, where they presented a
play called Fritz in a Mad House."
Mrs. Emmett is a California girl, and
is known on the stage as Emily Lytton.
She married Emmett about three years
ago. After refusing to be examined at
the hospital she was allowed to leave,
and is now stopping with friends at
hotel. Emmet is in Jail.
Emmett was bailed out of Jail tonight.
His Wife's injuries are not serious. The
bullet from his revolver struck her on
the temple and glanced off, making
merely a superficial wound. Mrs. EN-
NETT had recovered her self possession
today, and refused to discuss her trou-
bic with her husband. Emmett himself
said he had no cause for shooting his
wife. and attributed his deadly assault
upon her to too much drink. Mrs. EN-
met will probably not prosecute her
husband, and the matter will be drop
ped.

Disastrous Storm that VIII Benefit
Minnesota Crops.

Minneapolis, June 9.-The northwest
was today visited by the worst rain and
hail storm for years. All reports received
thus far indicate the rain was general
all over Minnesota and the Dakotas. In
Minneapolis the rain fall was IL inches
and the storm did not last long. 1t was
accompanied by heavy lightning and con-
siderable damage done. Several houses in
people rendered senseIess. Mrs. Eliza

of the shock. She is seriously injured
Many electric street cars were burned cut

reports of band washouts in the country
and especially ut Elk River, Mimi, where
the bridges have been washed away
The great rain only adds to the pros
poets of enormous crops in this section,
and it was not severe enough to do any
damage in this respect so far as known.

MORE COMPANIES GO OUT.
Fire Insurance Corporations Retire
From Coast Business.

FIRE insurance corporations Retire
From Coast Business.
The Girard, st. Paul Fire and Marine,
Agricultural of Watertown, and Teutonia
insurance companies have decided to dis
continue business on the coast until such
a time as the prevailing conditions seem
to be more favorable for profit. 1t is, of
course, a well-known fact that there is
no money in the business at prevailing
rates. and it is thought that many other
companies will adopt similar tactics and
withdraw.
All of the companies we're in the gen.
eral agency of MeSSrS. Mann & Wilson,
who have been appointed Pacific coast
managers of the Lancashire. The entire
coast business of the Agricultural and
sured in the Lancashire, The Girard and
st. Paul Fire and Marine, while with
drawing from the field, will carry their
risks TO expiration.
Preparing for the Meeting.
The members of the local board of fire
underwriters will again get together this
afternoon, when a special reception and
other committees will be appointed to
prepare for the convention of insurance
men to be held in this city on Wednes-
day. These committees will have charge
of all of the details of the coming gather
ing at which a state board of fire under
writers is 10 be organized for Utah. In
VftationS have been sent out to every
agent in the territory, and it is anticipat-
ed that the attendance will be very
heavy. There are in the neighborhood of
300 agents doing business in Utah, and
nearly oneIhalf of that number should re-
eJrt for enrolment in the board mem
bership. With the possible exception of
the agents of the Home and Phoenix it
is anticipated that every underwater of
the territory will sign the roll of the state
board when the same shall have been or
ganized. There was a time when it was
thought that perhaps the Home and
Phoenix agents would also see the adj
vantage of a membership in the board,
but now it is hardly probable that the
specials named will come within the fold.
Mr.. Sinclair is now in the state of Mon
tana mending his fences, as the state
board there is just getting down to reg
ular work. With the exception of Mis-
soula, there is no city in the state men,
toned where any cutting of rates IS go
ing on, and the general belief is that
even there the changes will be rung with
in a comparatively short time. In Mon
tana the agents of the Home and Phoe-
nix are members of the state board, but
here in Utah the conditions for harmony
do not seem to be so propitious. Those
on the inside understand Mr.. Sinclairs
motives perfectly, and they also know
that they are not just now moving him
to rate cutting through an excessive de-
sire for public good, but rather genuine
desire for personal qualification.
