CUTTING STILL CONTINUES.
Ogden Insurance Agents Have Made
No Move to Join the Board.

AS yet there has been no move made
on the part of the insurance agents of
the city of Ogden to join the state
board of fire underwriters, which takes
care of the business of the entire
territory where the same is submitted
to it for inspection. Cutting of rates
still continues in the north and there
does not seem to be any desire on the
part of the underwriters there to put
a stop to the slashing, which is so de-
moralizing to business. At the time
of the adjustment of matters between
the Home and Phoeyix and the union
companies and the kltrance of the two
first named companies into the state
board, it was understood that the Og
den agents might join if they desired
but there was to be no compulsion used
at that time. 1t now begins to look as
though some radical move would be
made by a number of the companies,
however, and it would not surprise the
talent in the least We're the Ogden
agents told from the San Francisco Of
fees to get right down off the perch.
1t is understood that practically all
of the regular business i'm the Junction
City has been taken care of ere this,
however, and only the new risks and
expiration are being scaled. These are
not heavy and in consequence the rev.
enues of the agents are not calculated
to make millionaires of the underWrit-
ers in very short time. Here in Salt
Lake there is no change in the stu
alton and agents are writing what
business they can at tariff rates.

NEW YORK, Sept, ia deposition
has been received by Harant NJ
Kiretcniian, general secretary of the
Armenian Relief association, from Mrs.
Marian Haroyan, a weli-connected Ar
unenian lady. from a city of upper Ar
rne.lsa, concerning the security OF Ar
raenians ID the cities as compared with
the villages She said: Our condition
could not be described in words--se-
curlry is no word to use. We have no
hope or resource left: everything seems
doomed, and If relief does not come
afte- all this disaster the EVIL that
will result viii be something that can
mot be conceived. Arrests. imprlson-
ments, torture, IS what occurs every
day They search the houses. of course,
freely, but what does that mean? The
officials will come into >.Ir houses
whenever they please, overturn every
thing with the declaration that they
are seeking for arms or other sus-
picious material, but in their search
they pocket whatever they please of
jewelrv or valuables. To whom can
we utter a word OF complaint? Aside
from The fortunes in prison. they take
young and old TO the government man
sion, day after day, night after night,
and pat them through horrible tor
tures. The family of s. D, who
lived close to the mansion, said they
could no longer bear TO hear the I'M
earthly groans and hideous noises they
had been hearing for days and weeks,
as their souls were faint. There was
C, of our quarter, fine young man.
He was taken there and tortured for
some unknown suspicion: his limbs
d. were stretched with ropes tied to them,
then they put a strap loop around his
neck and hanged him until he was
almost dead. Then they tortured him
and hanged him again, keeping him
all the time just alive enough to feel
the awful agony. Think of the life
Fathers and mothers are living in this
miserable land. That is how our best
people are perishing. The people have
no means or c., age even in possess
ing any arms. we1en even the suspicion
of it brings such destruction upon
whole families, SO that they are not
able to defend themselves against
thieves and robbers. Some that have
had arms that could serve for pro-
lection in travelling buried them in the
earth for fear of being discovered, thus
making them useless. AS there is
God, help must come to put an end to
this horrible destruction OF our peo-
pie by slow death, but the soul of the
people is fainting in them when they
can neither speak nor act TO seek de-
liverance, but must silently see the
torture and death Of their kindred and
suffer unutterable agonies."

Paid the Soldiers.

All the soldiers at the post received
their usual monthly remuneration yes
terday, the distribution of funds being
made by Major Robinson, one of the
paymasters of this department The
major drew the sum of $4,000 from the
Deseret National bank in the morning
and paid it out during the day. When
questioned regarding the anuch talked
of prospective change in the method of
paying the soldiers of the United States
Major Robinson stated that there had
been correspondence on the subject
but no orders issued. In consequence,
the members of the army are being
paid in the good old way.

EIGHT MILES COMPLETED.
Work on the Mount NebO Canal Sys-
tenn Being Pushed.

Eight miles of the west side system OF
the Mt Nebo Irrigation company have
now been completed and the members
of the company are confident that by
the end of the month this system
will be ready for the flow of water
which is to pass through it and provide
for the reclamation of in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 acres of fine land.
Secretary Rognon is back from an in
spectiOn of the work and reports that
the construction Of the trestling which
is to carry the huming was commenced
yesterday morning. This flume is be-
ing constructed in Sacramento and will
be shipped to Utah in the knock down.
1t should not require much time to get
it ready for the flow ofSIle water when
once the delivery is made. The dam is
now twenty-five feet above the surface
of the ground. Great activity prevails
all over the system.

which cover the variable resistance,
the only successful method ever made
use of in telephone instruments and
systems. In the lower court the Uni
ted States was successful. but the de-
cree was reversed by the supreme
court of the state, and now the SUI
preme court of the United States will
review the case, and the Bell people
feel confident of victory. The victory
gained in the case involving the null
tiple switchboard is very gratifying to
the Bell people, as it gives, them the
exclusive right to its use. On account
of these victories a large number of
suits have been brought against other
companies which use telephone instru-
ments, the Bell company claiming in
Engagements against all Of its patents.

Placing the Machinery,

P. T. Farnsworth has returned from
the south, where he went for the pur-
pose of inspecting the works of the
Horn Silver and experimenting the
placing of the new machinery on the
Pioneer, owned by him and located
north of Minersville 1t will be in the
neighborhood of two weeks yet before
the pumping Of water can commence
at the mines, but when once the new
machinery is placed in motion it will
not be many days before the extraction
of ore commences. At. the Horn Sill
yer everything is operating smoothly
and the production of ore and concen-
trates is regular. Six carloads of the
former came UP Yesterday.

THE TELEPHONE EXCHANGES.

One to BE Established at Lehi and
Still Another at Eureka.
Two new telephone exchanges are to
be established at once by the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company, one
at Lehi and the other at Eureka. The
switchboard for the former is COM
pleted and nearly in place, so that
operations can commence sometime
during the present week, but it will be
a short time later before the exchange
at Eureka is in working order. For
the purpose of completing the arrange
ments for it's establishment, Superin-
tendent Murray of the telephone COM
pany will go out to the camp this morn
ing. Negotiations for the exchange in
Eureka have been on for some time
past, and now the prominent mining
companies and business men have
come to the front in such shape that
the needed improvement is assured.
Bell Company is Winner.
At the headquarters of the Rocky
Mountain company some very good
news regarding the patent litigation.
which involves most of the instru-
ments and other Improvements in use
by the local company, has just been
received. 1t is to the effect that the
supreme court of the United States
has decided to review the case invol-
wing the Berliner patents the vital
portion of the telephone instruments,
and that the Bell people have been
successful in their suits over the null
tiple switchboard on the busy line
test. In the, first named case the
United States commenced suits in one
of the Massachusetts courts for the
renovation of the Berliner patents,

PIPE HAS ARRIVED.
Work at the Grand Central is to BE
Pushed Right Ahead.


Both President Holbrook and Gener-
al Manager Loose, of the Grand Cen
tral Mining company. were in the city
yesterday The gentlemen. stated that
the 1ong-delayed piping for the two
mile water system of the company had
arrived and its distribution had COM
menced. The pump is now on the
road, having been shipped from the
manufacturers. A damaging fire in
the works that turned 1t out delayed
the latter nearly all of the time. Tt is
proposed to rush things ahead with
all the speed possible and get the wa
ter to the new plant within very
short time. There are a little over
two miles of the pipe to put down and
the pump to place upon its arrival on
the ground.
Notwithstanding the delay in secur-
ing the operation of the steam hoist,
the company has been pushing ahead
with the driving of the shaft, which
is now down nearly 200 feet and still
going down at a good rate of speed.
Only a whim is used pending the COM
mencement of work with the hoist.

In order that they may be assured of
perfectly fair play, some of the mem
bers of the Salt Lake Millers' associa
ton are making an effort to secure the
adoption of a resolution providing that
each member of the association Shall
post a. suitable cash forfeit as notice
that he will obey the mandates of the
organizatio and not cut prices which
have been regularly scheduled. At the
last meeting, held on Saturday, this
matter was on for discussion but no
agreement was reached regarding the
movement and everything in connec-
ton Herewith went over for one week.
II is intended to hold another meeting
on Saturday and then the resolution
may be adopted.
Heretofore it has been impossible to
hold the members of the various mill
ers' associations which have been
formed together on a stated PROPOSE
ton for any great length of time and
the associations have always ended in
a great Strengthening of prices. For the
purpose of preventing just such a con-
summation the members, who include
nearly every miller and wholesale flour
dealer doing business IN the county,
are working to the end named and it
looks very much as though they will
put through the proposed resolution.
AT the next meeting it is also antici-
pated that the promised advance in
the price of mill products will be made.
This move was to have been inaugu-
rated at the Saturdays meeting but the
other matters claimed the entire at
tention of the association and nothing
was done regarding prices. The alb
sence of the forfeit also had some eff
feet upon the proposed action. If the
forfeit is required and the membership
of the organization remains intact
thereafter, the consumers may as we'll
prepare themselves for some smart
changes in the prices of their bread
stuffs, and the change will not be for
| the better either.

Much Pleased With the visit.

Messrs. Lovitte and Price. both of
New York, who have been in the ter
ritory for nearly a week inspecting the
properties owned by the New Tintic
Mining and Smelling company, returned
east yesterday evening. They were
highly delighted with what they saw
here in Utah and without doubt their
reports will be very favorable to the
enterprise in which they and others of
the extreme east are about to become
interested.

M'KANE VERY I'LL.
Hardly Probable That He VIII Serve
Out His Sentence.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1.-THE Adver-
tfser says it has been learned from
an authoritative source that John Y.
McKane, the ex-chief of police of
Gravesend. is not likely to live long
enough to serve out his sentence in
Sing Sing prison. Indeed it was de-
clared, that although efforts have been
made to prevent the knowledge of his
condition from being made public, that
he is g, sick man and that it would be
no surprise to those of his friends
who know of his condition to hear at
any moment that he was Frustrated

Fruit All Contracted.

James e. Jennings, who is interested
in one of the heaviest irrigation propo-
stions in the state of Idaho, has re-
turned from Boise, where he went on
special business connected with his in
terest there. He reports that the en-
tire fruit crop of the Boise valley,
which is made up mostly of prunes,
has been contracted for shipment to
the east. The yield has been very
heavy, and the success which has at
tended the efforts of the fruit growers
this year will mean the planting of
5000 additional acres of land 10 or

The Goose That Laid Golden Egg.


Ought not to have been slain. Her
fate was wholly unmeritedl She was
a most useful fowl. There are lots of
bipeds Of our race who don't know half
as much as she did. Conspicuous for
their folly among this class are the
people who persistently dose them
selves with violent drugs, which either
have a tendency to aggravate the
complaints they are claimed to cure.
or else to cause a most pernicfous dis
turbance of the system. Among in
telligent physicians the use of drastic"
or violent medicines has passed away
with other fallaces like blistering and
bleeding. The Doctor Sangrados are
an extinct race, happily for mankind.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the best
possible substitute for drugs in ma
larial, dyspeptic or bilious cases, and
when the kidneys or bladder are mac
tive, or where there is a tendency TO
rheumatism. It is also an unequalled
tonic and medicinal stimulant
