On April a Judge Hoge in response to
letter 10 Mr.. Clawson. in reference to

by the negligence of parties to whom
privileges have been granted by the city.

a LAUGH IN CHURCH.

She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear, wee woman of four;
Her feet, in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good; she had promised
And so, with her big, brown eyes.
She stared at the meeting house windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought of the honey bees,
Droning away in the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.
She thought of the broken basket,
Where, curled in a dusky heap.
Three sleek, round puppies, with fringy
ears,
Lay Struggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies to cuddle,
Such queer little hearts to beat
Such swift. round tongues to kiss,
Such sprawling, cushiony feet
She could feel in her claSping fingers,
The touch of the satiny skin,
And cold. wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then a sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips,
So quick that she could not catch it
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered ''Bless the child,''
As each one walked from a nap,
But the dear, Wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.

Abram Gould in Town.

Genial Abram Gould, brother of the
late Jay Gould, and now purchasing
agent for the Missouri Pacific. and for
many years agent at salt Lake for the
Union Pacific coal mines, arrived in the
city yesterday on his way to California,
to visit his son.
The gentleman has a host of friends
here and he received warm welcome at
their hands. During his long residence
in Salt Lake, Mr.. Gould, in an unosten-
tatious way, performed many acts of
charity and was popular with all classes
of citizens.
He leaves for the west tomorrow.

WILL MAINTAIN RATES.
Western Lines Decide to Drop Cut
Rates on May 10.

western Lines Decide TO DROP Cut
Rates on May 10.
Chicago, May S9.-A meeting Of the
western lines was held today and steps
were taken to prevent the demoraliza-
ton that has been creeping into the rates
ever since the inauguration of the home
seekers excursions. The present east
bound rate of SO from Denver to the Mis-
souri, river. expires by limitation on May
49, 1t was decided that all other cut
rates, whether made because Of the home
seekers excursion, or because of the
Denver-AIissouri river rate, should be
dropped on that date. No further cut
rates will be allowed and steps will be
taken to prevent any reduction in the
regular tariffs through the business of the
two additional excursions, which are yet
to run. Before the meeting convened
there was some fear that the Union Pa
cific would not abandon its intention
of making the SO rate from Omaha to
Denver as well as from Denver to Omaha.
The Union Pacific, however, showed that
It had no intention cf demoralizing rates.
Vice-President Stubs, of the Southern
Pacific, had a long conference today
with General Passenger Agent Lomax, of
the Union Pacific, over the California rate
situation. Some time ago a local asso-
citation was formed in California for the
purpose of removing decentralization and
of keeping the market in a healthful con-
dition. 1t was found, however. that the
association could not be much of a sue
cess with the Union Pacific on the out
side. Mr. Stubs was anxious to have
it become a member, but his efforts to-
day did not avail to any great extent.

Washington. May 9-Oficial cor
flrmation reaching here indicates that
the Spanish authorities no longer re-
gard the Cuban uprising as serious
affair. 1t is not considered the trouble
is actually closed and the rebellion
formally ended, but the authorities
are satisfied the revolt has ceased to
have the menacing aspect of a few
weeks ago. The rebel armies have been
reduced to few scattering bands who
are now hiding.

Managua. Nicaragua, May 8, via
Galveston, Texas, May 9.-Many prom
inent Nicaraguans, some of them be-
ing in high official positions, are
openly favoring the establishment by
the United States of a protectorate
over Nicaragua, or the Incorporation
of the country into the great repub-
lie. They declare that peace and
prosperity would then result, the Won
derful rich natural resources of Nj
caragua would be developed and a
financial system be organized by
which all the country's just debts
would be cancelled.

Settlement Reached.

Havana, May "a correspondent of
the Associated Press here has made in

report current in the United States
that Captain-General Martinez de
Campos had reached a settlement with
the rebel leaders and that the insurrec-
ton is practically over. 1t is learned
the captain-general has not reached a
settlement and will depend on force to
put down the rebellion.

then this cavern has increased to size

dates for ordination, Messrs. Wright
and Beyers, were carefully examined
and their ordination was unanimously
approved. Both are graduates of

The above liberal offer is made to ad-
vertise the old reliable Diamond Dyes
and to get their book upon home dyeing
into the homes of women who want to
dress well by making their old clothing
look like new.
In some towns dealers sell limitations
of Diamond Dyes simply because they
can make more profit on these weak,
adulterated substitutes. Some OF these
dyes claim to color both cotton and
wool with the same package. but this Is
an impossbility, as the user soon finds
when she has tried to color cotton with
dye that Is not especially made for
that purpose. Diamond Dyes have DIFF
ferent dyes for cotton from those that
are used for wool and are the only
package dyes on the market that can be
relied upon to give colors that Will not
fade or crock. The fact that Diamond
Dyes have been the standard home dyes
for nearly twenty years and that their
sale Increases from year to year, Is
proof positive that they have never had
an equal.

after he sent DIR. Lucas a letter. writ
