RUNNING-FOR BOYS.
Every Boy Can Become a Runner II He
Tries.

| Every Boy Can Become q Runner II He
Tries.
Every American boy should learn to
run. In Greece. in the days when men
and women took better care of their
bodies than they ever have since, every
boy, and girl too, was taught to run.
just as the American girl is taught to
read. And as far as we can judge by
the statues they have left behind
them, there were very few hollow
chested, spindle-legged boys among
the Greeks. The Persian boy was
taught to speak the truth. run, ride
and shoot the bows.
The English boy is encouraged to
run. In fact, at some of the great
English public schools, boys of thir-
teen and fourteen years of age, like
Tom Brown and East at Rugby, can
cover six and eight miles cross-coun-
try in the great hare-and-hound runs.
Every boy is turned out twice week.
out of doors, and made to run, and fill
himself full of pure fresh air and sun

than any amount of weight pulling or
dumb bell work in stuffy gymnasiums
would give him. See the result-the
English boys, as whole, are

Erery English school-boy is to some ex-
tent an athlete. And that is what
American boys should be. Not be-
cause football, baseball and tennis are
valuable in themselves, but for the
good they do in strengthening boys

DA CANA WAS GAME.
No Matter What His Convictions, He
Died Like u Hero.

New York, June ga special to the
Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
From one of the rebels who escaped
capture by the government troops af-
ter the insurgent defeat near Santa
Ana, Rio Grande Do Sui, Brazil, de-
tails of the last battle in which Adj
nniral da Cana took part and of his
suicide have been secured.
The admiral, at the head of a force
of fifty sailors, was engaged by a bri-
gade of government soldiers, number
ing 1000. The battle lasted five hours
and at least 300 men were killed or
wounded. Some of the insurgents adj
vised Da Cana, to retreat, but re re-
fused. and they abandoned him.
With a handful of men the admiral
repulsed five charges of the govern
rnent cavalry, but finally realizing
that the situation was hopeless. he re-
treated and committed suicide by cut
ting his throat. His body was taken
to Santa Cruz by government soldiers,
where it was horribly mutilated. The

OGDEN SYSTEM IMPROVED.
Gas and Electric Light Company
Doing Some Extensive Work.

The Salt Lake & Ogden Gas and
Electric Light company is doing some
extensive Improvement work in the
city of ogden and among other
changes for the better it is relaying
its main line of pipe from the gas
works to the center of the city, to-
gether with laterals thereby renewing
in the neighborhood of two miles of
the system. 1t is anticipated that this
work will be completed within the
next few days and then the field force
will be brought to this city for the
purpose of making some extensions
and other improvements in the Salt
Lake system. Manager Hayward yes
terday stated that the company had
decided that the First and Second
South street extensions were necessary
and this would be the first outside
work done. These extensions will
carry the mains of the company up on
the east bench. Connection was yes
terday being made between the gas
system and Popperton Place and the
flow of gas should reach the latter this
afternoon at the latest.

lation from a personal standpoint

uation from personal standpoint
Messrs. Sessions and Bradley, who
have been in this city for the past
two days on business relative to the
guano deposits on the islands of the
Great Salt Lake and especially those
on GunniSon, accompanied by small
party of engineers, left Saltair yester-
day afternoon in the steamer Talula
for Gunnison. AS stated yesterday
morning in The Herald. these gentle
men are connected with the Southern
Pacific and the Promontory Stock COM
pany, Mr. Bradley being the manager
of the latter company, which now en-
ters claim to the greater portion of the
island of GunniSOn under the prOvi-
sions of its contract of sale with the
railroad. The Promontory Stock COM
pany is the owner and lessee Of
great stretch of country along the
Promontory, all of which it acquired
from the Southern Pacific by lease and
purchase. Some time ago the land
department of the road sent d party
of local engineers into the field and
they made surveys and locations. Wis
iting the islands for the purpose of
completing their work. 1t is said on
good authority that the surveys made
by this corps brought the eastern half
of Gunnison within the section pre-
Viously owned by the railroad, but now
held by the stock company. Official
reports were made to San Francisco
and the visit here of Mr.. Sessions and
Mr.. Bradley is the result. Neither the
railroad nor the stock company ever
loses an opportunity to go to law and
it is now stated that both are pre-
pared to carry the contests over the
ownership of the lake islands into the
land office and the district courts.
At any rate the gentlemen and their
experts have now gone out to Gunnl-
son and other islands and it is highly
probable that they will not return FOR
some days. The steamer is in charge
of Captain Wilkes and she has been
entirely refitted and internally remod-
eled The danger from the seas is
reduced to d minimum. so that the
party should have a pleasant trip out
to the islands. The guanO deposits are
to be thoroughly examined and the
probabilities for a good healthy con-
test seem to be very bright. Both OF
the gentlemen mentioned are very
much on the quiet: or. at least they
think they are. and il was not antlcl-
pated by them that their little pleasure
jaunt on the lake would be public
property 50 soon.

BOUGHT WOOL IN ADVANCE.
Ludwig Eisemann Shows His Faith
In the Sheep Industry.

Always well in the fore, the firm of
Eisemann Bros. wool buyers, of Bos-
ton, has taken the initiative and dem
onstrated its faith in the future of
the wool market, for yesterday Lud-
wig Eisemann. one of the members of
the firm and the western buyer, made
an advance purchase of a clip of
western Utah woods, contracting to
take the entire clip at Il cents per
pound in the spring of 1886. This is
considerably in advance, but Else
mann has given his word, and the
contract is binding. This spring. the
second party to the agreement sheared
in the neighborhood of 10000 sheep,
and it is estimated that his clip next
year will not be less than $4,000
pounds. Not for years past has an
advance sale been made, and the clos
ing up of this would indicate that the
eastern buyers are satisfied that the
coming season is to be an even better
one than the present. which gives
signs of daily improvement.
According TO the way bills in the
possession of Mr.. Eisemann, that gen
tleman shipped something over 1,000,-
600 pounds of wool from Soda Springs.
Cokeville and Fossil within the past
three weeks. and for this wool he paid
an average of So cents, some of the

COLUMBIA'S SPEED.
tonGed-For Opportunity to Test it
Will Be Given.


New York, June 2S.-At last Captain
Sumner, commanding the United
States cruiser Columbia is to have his
longed-for opportunity to tsst the yes
sells speed. Under instructions from
Secretary of the Navy Herbert. the
Columbia which is now at Kiel will
race against time from Southampton
to this port. The engines will not be
driven at the highest speed, as the
only object of the test is to see what
the triple screws can do in actual SER
vice without subjecting the vessel to
any strain. She steamed to Kiel with
her boilers at three-quarters of the
fuel steam pressure and occupied eight
days in the trip to Southampton using
six of the eight boilers and averaging
1853 knots per hour.
The test of the Columbia in the
present instance is only partial one
and her performance cannot be fairly
compared with that of any of the
ocean liners.

THE LARGEST LENS.
One Four Inches Bigger Than the
Lick and Weighs Four Hundred
Pounds.

Boston, June 2S.-The largest and
probably the most powerful lens ever
constructed has just received the fin
iShing touches in the establishment of
Alvan G. Clark e. Sons, of Cam
bridge. The lens is intended for the
observatory on the spires of Lake
Geneva, Wis, which is being built as
gift for the Chicago university by
Mr.. YerkeS, and which is to be known
as the Yerkes observatory
This lens is 421A inches on the sur
face diameter and weighs 500 pounds
The exposed surface or aperture of
the lens will be forty inches. the other
inch and a half being taken up by
the casting. This makes it four inches
larger than that of the Lick telescope,
in California. which heretofore has
held the place of honor.
