ficers and Members.
Go up one fight of stairs, the first door
south on Washington avenue, over the
Utah National bank, straight toward the
night window of the Western Union tel
egraph office-go up this flight of stairs,
then turn to the right straigh ahead
through the door, and you will be in one
OF the rooms of the Ute club. 1t is
coy, tastefully furnished room. Taste
ful paintings and etchings adorn the
walls; the room is well carpeted and fur
nlshed with settees, easy chairs and
other comfortable devices. The latest
popular periodicals and newspapers are
kept on hand, and a few choice books
are accessible to those who desire them.
About the walls are hung numerous in
terestlng bits of bric-a-brac. Opening off
this first room, and east of it, is yet an
other room. which is likewise tastefully
furnished
Such at first glance appear the quar-
tiers of the Ute club.
A closer examination reveals additional
evidences of taste and care used in fur
nlshing the rooms. The pictures are of
great variety, both in subject and style.
one magnificent etching representing
The Death of the Stag" a powerful
deer engaged in a last struggle with two
powerful hounds, is given a prominent
place. Just beside it is, smaller one,
and 10 of more quiet subject; The title

waters of a harbor thronged with fish
ing craft, and the shore covered with
quaint Dutch houses. On the other SIDE
of it. human affairs are represented
love affairs evidently. for a young man
is standing in the background and seems
to be sorry about something, and
young woman in the foreground seems
to be angry about something. While an
other young woman seems to be inter
ceding for the young man, and from the

portrayed. and in strong contrast to TINS

Some massive columns and dilapidated
walls, with yet enough ornamental sculp-
ture left thereon TO suggest how beauti-
full 1t once was, stand out prominently,
while some grim looking lions prowl
about among the crumbling columns.
"A Winter, Scene in water colors,
forms a pleasing contrast to a family
of lions etched from painting OF the
famous Rosa Bonheur. In the back
ground also are number of pictures,
some of more laughable subjects and ex-
ecution than those mentioned but all
this room is placed photograph of the
chief of the Utes-the real chief of the
real Utes. This famous parsonage is
over 107 years old, and the club expects
picture of the celebrated character to
grace the wall of the club room. This
picture was given to the club by f. j.
kiesel. ir.
The peace pipe is another interesting
bit of bric-a-brac, and is given a place
Of honor. 1t was carved by famous
Ute craftsman Il he huge bowl being the
main stem of a small sapling. while the
stem is small branch naturally grow
ing out of the bowl. 1t is a long stem,
but the whole pipe has been carved from
this one piece, and the aperture of the
stem extends clear into the bowl The
pipe is used on ceremonious occasions,
and is said to be equal to the finest
merschaum. 1t was the gift of G. n.
Burkhardt, formerly member of the
club. but not so now, for after Hia-
watha takes unto himself a Minnehaha,
he is no longer a member. The club owns
a genuine Indian tepee, which was pre-
scented by Fred Massa. and will soon be
placed in one corner of the back room:
A handsome bow, with three arrows, all
of Indian style and make. doubtless have
their place in the mystic rites of the
club Another prominent bit of orna-
mentation which. is also useful, consists
of unique calendar. 1t was brought
from Germany by Miss Shansenbach and
presented to the club. 1t represents the
vidual, who seems convinced that life is
one huge joke. His mouth is opened just
wide enough to show that on a bit of
ribbon which does duty for a tongue
shows that the month is November. The
left eye winks out the information that
the day of the month is TO- and the right
eve Winks out the fact that the day of
the week is Son ftag). The man being
from Germany, of course winks in the
German language The whole picture
presents an extremely ludicrous appear
ance The man who can look at it with
out laughing
rs fit for treason's strategems and
spoils,
Let no such man be trusted"
The Ute club meets once each month,
but the rooms are always open for its
members and their guests. 1t was or
ganized about three years ago and has
steadily prospered, until it is now on a
sure foundation, and bound to keep its
rank among the first social organizations
Of it's kind.
No gambling. be the stakes ever so
small, is permitted in its rooms. For
long time the club had quarters at the
Reed hotel. and these new rooms nave
been but recently fitted up.

Intosh, grand chief; L. l.. Dietrich, sa-
chem; j. c. Clippenger, medicine man;

brilliant social events in the past, and
now that it is comfortably established in
its new wigwam, it expects to repeat its
former triumphs in the way of pot
laches and crow feasts and the like.
