The California Coal On Gas stoves
are already proving themselves TO be q
household necessity as many of the
citizens of Provo are attesting by CIV
ing them hard practical use. Not only
in the kitchen are they always to be re-
lied upon for all cooking purposes, bat
also in the laundry are they growing
very popular. Ironing of clothes is a
pleasure with the use of one of these
stoves, as the irons are always hot and
of even temperature, with campara-
lively no heat in the house. These
stoves are being sold by Corbett &
Henrichsen at the Provo Coop. Insti-
tuition, and their travelling agents.

which appears elsewhere in these
columns today for the entertainment

close for the year and the teachers
have joined in together end prepared
fitting exercises for the occasion. The
entertainment will be first given in
the afternoon, admission will be free

EVIDENTLY Barney was right.

crowded since the commencement of
the cheap sale. He informs us that
this will be the greatest of all cheap
sales, and as special features for
Wednesday till Saturday he will add
ladies' kid gloves, ladies' hosiery, and
waist and trimming silks. He is very
emphatic in stating that the price on
these goods will surpass in eheapnesS
anything of the kind ever offered. y

FRIENDS OF THE DOG,
The Secretary of the American Ken
mel Club VIII Visit This
City.

The Pacific Kennel Club held a very en-
thusiastic meeting last evening at the Oc-

that general meeting of the clubs here
will be held for the purpose of discussing
kennel matters and appointing an investi-
eating committee
The clubs that will be called to convene
at the Occidental Hotel Thursday evening.
the 14th inst, are: Southern California
Kennel Club, Alameda County Sports
mans Association, Saint Bernard Club.
Pacific Fox-terrier Club and the Columbia
Kennel Club of Portland, Or.
After some chat on kennel affairs the
following sportsmen were elected as a
bench-show committee: T. J. Watson. C.
A. Haight, J. G. Barker, DR.. F. W. D.
Evelyn and Howard Vernon. Those gem
tlemen then elected T. ]. Watson chair
man and III. Vernon secretary
L. j. Barker, who was appointed COM
mlttee of one at the last meeting OF the

MOTIVE FOR MINNIE WILLIAMS MURDER,

The jewellers in the vicinity of the church,
which was the scene of two of the most
brutal murders in the history of crime,
unite in denying the uncanny story. If
the unfortunate girl partially recovered
from the first murderous attack and CROPPED
about the dark, lonely church in vain at
tempt to escape she was too weak to
scream, for the families living on either
side of the church heard no unusual sound
that evening Neither did passers-by or
those living across the street.
Perhaps our over-conscientlous neigh
Dor has originated the story" said one of
the dwellers on Bartlett street. 'She is
char acter whose active Imagination is
equaled only by her exceeding honesty.
She is little daft on religion, and her
ideas of honesty extend even to the train
ing of her cat. If the feline returns from
predatory excursions with fish head or
chicken bone the delicacy is taken from
the constituencies robber and carried to
all the houses in the neighborhood in
search for the owner. If any one admits
that the contraband article came from
that particular house 10 cents is offered as
compensation for the theft, and if not ac-
copied the money is sent TO the Salvation
Army quarters. Grandma Conscience is
good old lady, but unreliable" touching
the head significantly. Don't believe any
stories coming from such source

THE VENUS OF CALIFORNIA GONE ASTRAY,

the artists became enthused over the pro-
lect ana entered heartily into the matter.
Inc most deeply interested one was Ru-
pert Schmid. He promised to model the
hgure OF the young lady who was chosen in
plaster free of charge, and also suggested
how the figures of the young ladies should
be draped to advantage.
Every young lady in the State who had
any pretentions to form bought a bolt of
cheesecloth and hied herself secretly to a
studio and was photographed
The newspapers published the pictures
OF the young contestants and famed the
flame. When they had all been submitted
the jury OF selection got together expect
ing long, arduous and difficult task, but
they had not more than even casually
scanned the photographs, however, before
they Immediately singled out that of Miss
Marion Nolan as being without question
the most superior in contour. None of the
three artists had ever seen anything ap-
preaching her in perfection and Miss
Nolan was unanimously declared to be the
Venus of California.
Mrs. Wait took deep interest in Miss
Nolan, who came to see her and ask her
advice before becoming candidate.
II posed Miss Nolan myself" said Mrs.
Wait. 'The accessories were very simple
"a bit OF cheesecloth, a la chemise, white
cord Of tassels and wooden pedestal were
all that was necessary. To get the cling
ing effect wet the drapery, and Miss No
Ian stood shivering and uncomfortable be-
fore the camera. These were the photo
graphs that so instantly won her the choice
as the model
There were over fifty contestants, and
photographs came from all over the State,
and If the measurements accompanying
them were correct there are several other
young women in this State who could pose
for Venus of Milo
AT the time of the completion of the
plaster statue Mrs. Wait issued an official
address to the people.
'The project of finding a new type of
Venus, which should be characteristic of
California women, is a success" said she.
"Schmid's Venus is as delicate as flower,
and when finally cut in marble, which he
enthusiastically declares shall be done, he
will have clinched the argument in favor
of the universal beauty of the California
women.
When it is all finished it should not sur
prise any one if some appreciative Eastern
visitor picks up the Venus and carries it
off home with him. There are plenty of
our local people who could afford to buy
the statue, but they would consider 500
too much for it until New York. Boston and
Philadelphia have passed upon its merits,
and after some enterprising Chicago man
has offered round sum for it they might
consider" the proposition at half price.
Now that the Venus is an accom- lished
fact, and is thing of beauty, I wish to
thank the pretty girls and sensible women
all over the State who helped me to find a
suitable model"
Rupert Schmid, the sculptor, when seen
at his studio on Van Ness avenue said
~ have no idea when the statue will reach
here. 1 have been expecting the great
monument for the last four months"
