MEETING OF THE IRRlGAToRs.

The meeting of the stock
holders of the Lehi Irrigation
company, held Monday in the
meeting house to hear the financial
report for last year and elect a
new board, was a stormy one, and
quite a discussion was created
over the resolutions introduced to
give the control of the water in
the city into the hands Of the city
council instead of leaving it to be
controlled by the irrigation COM
pany was not discussed as fully as
il ought to have been. There
may be some points in favor OF
such a change, but there are many
against it. The intermingling OF
corporate powers is a thing that
should be avoided as much as
possible for the reason that it is a
nice point to determine just when
and where one should begin and
the other leave off. If the stock
holders of the company are ready
and willing to surrender the con
troll of their water rights to the
city officers they should meet and
disincorporate. If they are not
then by all means they should'not
begin breaking up their corpo-
ration by concedeing a part OF
their rights, because, just as soon
as they do such thing it brings
into operation another set Of Of
ficers which they will have to deal
with, and from all appearances
they have all the trouble necessary
with the one set. This subject is
of vast importance to the farmers
and irrigators and wisdom would
say, it should be discussed dis
passionately and then such moves
made that will prove to be for
the best interest of the whole
company. The new directors
chosen are men of good standing
in the company and we believe
their ability will prove TO be equa
to their duties. Their location
in some instances may not b.
the best, but each director should
see that the district he is chosen
to represent is given its full rights
and should see that no stockholdei
suffers for want of his rights be
ing looked after. He should sec
that good watermasters are op
pointed on the several bitches anc
they should look after the intercs
of those who are located on thos,
bitches. The location of a stock.
holder ought not to make any
difference in regard to his water
rights in the company, and any
man who would discriminate
against one as in favor Of lh,
other is not fit for a director.

have not the letter here to read it to
you, but then know it was free silver
because it was against the gold stand
ard, and whatever is against the gold
standard is bound to be for free silver.
Now he has gone off pie-hunting, and
he won't stick to that letter, and he's
a traitor, and he's q deserter, and he
won't stick to one opinion for two days
at time. I know there are some peo-
pie who think that I have beer pretty
tolerable shifty in changing my own
mind from time to time; but then, fel-
low citizens, I have always changed at
the right time and in the right way.
If l had not seen that ground-hog's
tail sticking out of that hole in the
land that Henry George wanted to
bear all burden of taxation, I would
have dessted from my advocacy of
the single land-tax; but who could
follow cause represented by nothing
in the world but ground-hog's tail ?
Who would rally around o standard
like that? When I marshal myself
under flag it has got to be something
that looks better than the tail Of q
grounding and besides its got. to be
waving from some battleInent, and NOT
stuck on to q wook-chuck and disap-
pearing in the unknown depths of in
sufficiently taxed land!
Now, fellow citizens, I hope [ have
made the silver question plain to you.
If I have not, I will refer you to
George Justice. He is better up on il
than I am. He has been studying that
question while I have been studying
the question of Dug Carter and Ki
Gudger. They are traitors and de-
serters, and are after Mark Hanna's
pie-counter, and I would really and
truly rather have forty gold standards
than for either of those traitors to get
any of that pie.
In conclusion, fellow citizens, what
do you think of the free coinage Of all
the silver In the universe at the ratio
of 16 to /? From The great argument
I have made in your presence, don't
you think it q good thing TO have, and
haven't proved it to you most con-
clusively by showing you what traitors
and deserters Lug Carter and XII
Gudger are? Now I want you all to
20 to the polls on the 3rd, day of next
November, and roll up grand, over
whelmiug majority for the whole de-
mocratic ticket, ME free silve and
Bryan. :,

Sunshine

"I wish it would stop raining" said
cross little voice, for the fourth or
fifth time. "I want to 30 out and play,
and Fido does, too"
"I once read story" said Willie's
mamma, "about little boy who was
called Sunshine, because he was al
wavs happy and contented."
"How can a fellow be happy when
he can't 60 out, and don't know what
to play?" And the cross little boy
threw himself down on the floor beside
Fido.
"You might play you were my
Sum- said Willie's mamma, with q
twinkle in her eye, "and fill the room
with sunshine for Fido and me-"
"Why, mamma" said Willie, in as
topishment. show can play l am
YOUR son when I really am, and"
and then he saw what his mamma
meant.
"Fido," whispered Willie, THAT is
one of mammals jokes. She thinks
we are cross. L will have to tell you
about SUN and Son. You don't 60
to school, so you don't know that S-o-n
Spells u1e, duO gum sPS'io ehC Seh op
in the skies. Suppose we do play Sun,
Fido; it will be such funny game"
"Mamma, said Willie, "I'm going to
play Sun, and I'm going behind the
screen and play it is cloud. No Fido,
YOU can't come with me. You must
20 way down OH the earth aud stay
With mamma, for I'm playing I'm the
Sun. Now, you see, Fido, if l were
the Moon you could stay, for the Man
in the Moon has dog"
Fido was quite sure if he could not
stay with his little master, he did not
like the new game; but he was good
dog, so he went and lay down by Will
lies mamma.
And then the Sun burst forth from
behind the clouds-and such happy
Sun as it was-and mamma clapped
her hands, and Fido barked with de-
light, and the rain tapped OH the win
dow and wanted to come in where ev-
erybody was so merry and gay" :,
PPM your SON now, mamma

Do you think | am going to tell you
how Willie hugged his mamma? Not
at all! for your mamma wants your
kind of q hug, and not Willie's.-Mary

Do Birds Reason.

In the spring of 1894 j put up two
high poles in my yard on the top OF
these I placed two boxes, each contain
ing two compartments. One of these
poles was intended for my old associates
the purple martins (P purpurea,) who
generally arrived between the middle
and last week of April, 10 sojourn with
US until the fall reminds them of their
autumn migration southwark.
The other pole was for the occupation
of my little friends, the wrens IT,.
aelon) who arrived little earlier than
their above neighbors.
The wrens, two pairs, duly arrived,
and after carefully inspecting every
knot-hole and crevice to he found in
or about the outhouses and barn, finally
selected the box appointed for them
which altbouh new one to them Occu-
pied the place of an old one, which had
been taken down the previous winter,
and in which they had nested for come
years. They rapidly commenced work
and soon numerous sticks adorned
their respective ompartments, VIII en-
suddenly a pair of English sparrows
(P. domesticus) put appearance, and
driving away its occupants, took fOrci-
BILE possession of both compartments.
The wrens retreated and disappeared,
but in the short time of ten minutes
returned with re-enforcements, consist
ing of about seven or eight other wrens,
who, after a sharp conflict, drove the
il truders from the field.
The sparrows, in about fifteen min.
utes, also returned, they in their turn
having picked up ten recruits, and
vigorously attacked and put to flight
the whole army of wrens.
While attentively watching the bat
tie, aud considering it about time tor
my interference, noticed wren slip
over my bird-house, enter one Of the
compartments of the martin box,
which was upon a much higher pole,
and distant about ten yards from their
pole. upon whose box the victorious
sparrows were chippering and showing
every sign Of victory.
The wren soon stole away and dis
appeared, and one of the female mar.
tins came out of its compartments, and
was soon Joined by the other female
in few minutes the male martins ar.
rived very closely together, and utter.
ing a few notes, all four charged the
sparrOws, and in minute or two had
completely routed the aggressors who
never returned, the martins returned
to their box, and soon the four wrens
came back, and settled down hap
PLY.
i thought this was clear case OF
bird sense and bird language OH the
wrens' part for they, finding they
could not hold their own, had appealed
to their neighboring wrens fifst-but
where they found them so quickly !
could not say, for I only knew of one
nest, about two hundred yards distant
also of shrewd policy, when then the
enemy was reinforced, in appealing for
hep to their powerful neighbors.
The martins attacked the sparroWs
in a similar way that bee martins
employ in fighting hawks or other
birds who approach their nes!s-The

Household Perlls.

There arc three volatile liquids used
in families which are particularly dam
gerous, and must be employed, if at all,
with special care.
As regards ammonia, or water Of
ammonia, it is very powerful agent,
especially the strongest kinds sold by
druggists. An accident in its use has
recentlv come under our notice, in
which young lady lost her life from
taking few drops through mistake.
Benzine, ether and strong ammonia
constitute this class of agents. The
two first named liquids are employed
in cleaning gloves aud other wearing
apparel, and in removing oil stains
from carpets, curtains, etc. The Ii
uuids are highly volatile and flash into
yapor as soon as the cork of the phial
containing them is removed. Their va
pors are very combustible, and will in-
flame at long distances from ignited
candies or gas flames, and consequent
lv thew should never be used in the
evening, when the house is lighted.
Explosions of a very dangerous ma
fur. will occur if the vapor of these Ii
ouids is permitted to escape into the
room Ill IuduUIlCSs LII
view of the great hazard in handling
these liquids, cautious housekeepers
will not allow them to be brought into
their dwellings and their action is COM
mendable.
Breathing the gas, under certain cir
cumstances, causes Serious harm to the
lungs and membranes Of the mouth
and nose. 1t is unobjectionable if pro-
per care is used in its employment.
The phials holding it should be kept
apart from others containing the med
icines, etc., and rubber shoppers to the
phials should he used.
OXatic acid is considerably employed
for cleansing brass and copper utensils.
This substance is highly poisonous and
must he kept and used with great eau
ton. In crystalline structure it Gle sely
resembles sulphale of magneSia or Ep-
som salts, and therefore frequent mis-
takes are made and lives are lost.
Every drug or chemical compound
that goes into families among inexpe-
rienced persons, should be kept in a
safe place, labeled properly and used
with great care.

Do not stuff the work horses with
hay; give them good grain ration,
and the heaviest feeding at night.
Take off the harness and rest the
horses at noon at least all hour or more
and you will accomplish more than by
rushing and overtiring both yourself
and. your horses.
TO develop the rullets into good lay
ing hens, an exclusive diet 0f-rorn
must be avoided. They need bone
and muscle, but to get enough of this
out of corn, they must eat an excessive
quantity of it, and this will produce
to much fat. The caution must be
needed wien the pullets have only II
limited run and but little pasture. In
these circumstances with the corn ra-
ton, green grass, clover, green corn
fodder and vegetables, with milk and
cut bone, or meat meal must be sup
Piled to secure healthy development.

IL Should Be Treated

This is something every person
should. know. First OF all, loosen
every tight thing from around the neck
or abdomen that IS, unfasten the col
lar from around the neck, and II the
patient is lady, cut her stay-lares, II
She wears stays. Allow the person all
the fresh air possible, do not crowd
around, and, if in a crowded place
carry the patient out or to the open
window. A fainting person should al
ways be laid flat d ,wn on the back I,
and it greatly aids recovery il The head
can ne put lower than the body, so
that blood goes readily 10 the brain.
The main cause of fainting Is that the
brain is deprived Of blood, and II the
head is laid low, the brain can get It's
share again, and SD resume It's WORKING.
Cold water sprinkled over the face,
smelling salts or burning feathers held
to the nose, and tanning the face, all
help to restore consciousness. In an
ordinary case, the person may be al.
lowed to sit up, when conscious anu
after little rest resume her way.
The custom of giving brandy or olh,
er spirits to q person who has tainted
is q mischievous Que allow the person
10 come to, then lei her slowly drink
cupful of cold water, ana no hahn is
done. Persons subject TO these attacks
must keep out of close, hot aud unven-
tilated places. They should not take
Turkish baths, nor even hot baths.
In place OF the latter, tney may have
sponge all over with hot water. tea
and coffee must not be drunk by those
subject to fainting attacks if ladies,
must not wear corsets. Men must not
use tobacco in any form, nor drink i'll
toxicants, if subjected to these attacks.
Heavy and indigestlDle foods must be
avoided, as must heavy work.-New
York Ledger.

Habits of inattention, of mental in
dolence, of surface or of random think
ing, of ineXact statements, though
they may involve no conscious wicked
uess, are the source Of widespread and
insidious corruption of character.

Special Correspondence.
City Of Mexico, Sept. ga TO
mantle ir cident recently occurred
at the Hotel Europa. A young
man had a room there, and, feeling
chilly in the morning, lay down to
rest. His name was Manuel Ynda.
He was 90 years OF age and well
connected. Later in the day seri-
Gus symptoms Of pneumonia de-
veloped. Medical aid was called
and every thing done for the suf-
ferer, but he died at 6: 45 the next
morning. After death an intimate
friend, Herlinda Martinez, came
to see him. She kissed his dead
face many times, cut a lock of his
hair and left to go to her home.
An hour later the explosion OF a
pistol was heard in her room. On
the rush being made to the room
Herlinda was found dead on the
floor with a 45-calibre pistol in
her hand. She had evidently
stood before q mirrored wardrobe
sideways, aimed the pistol at her
heart and fired. The ball passed

itself in the wardrobe. Herhnda
Martinez was a notorious demi-
mondaine, 26 years of age and
devilish in every way. She was a
beautiful woman of fine physique.
She was popularity known as
"Pacheca," and figured some time
ago in a criminal case. She was
charged with exporting girls to
Cuba for immoral purposes, but
for reasons, to be guessed rather
than said, the case was not pushed
to a completion. This seems to
have been a case of mutual and
sincere love and both had a stimuli.
