Professor Jansen, the astronomer, has
recently made visit to the observatory
ON the summit Of Mott Blanc, to make
sure that the new telescope which has
been carried there is uninjured. He took
the opportunity to search in the spec
trum Of the sun for evidences Of water
in our great luminary. He found no
such evidences. The very rare and dry
air through which the observation was
made, at the top of the mountain, gives
this negative result much value. But it
cannot be said that there is no water
in the sun; only that none has yet been
discovered in its constitution.

Tn. Colon.,,. MILITARY Record.

Today's Chicago Inter Ocean
throws light into a heretofore
benighted quarter by revealing the
military record of Col. Hjalmar Koh-
Ter, county clerk of Rock Island
county. The article is of the nature
of an urgent boost for Mr.. Kohler for
the republican nomination for state
auditor, and in explaining that Koh-
Ter has not yet consented to be con-
sidered candidate it speaks OF his
dashing and brilliant military record
that he served in the late late civil

it is inferred, Gov. Fifer appointed
him on his staff.

Gludness Comes

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs ON which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most Skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedev Everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

GYMKHANA RACES.
SOME VERY EXCITING SPORT ON
WHEELS.
Some Admirable Suggestions For
Bicycle Meets This Spring.

Since the Armenian boy has taken to
cycling he has developed an amount of
skill and energy that must. think, as
tonish even himself. He has found out
that not only can he do a mile in-2;4O
is it-or forty miles in minute?
Whatever the latest record, however,
is neither here nor there.
It's gymkhana on wheels, that we ar e
at present interested in. We have had
hockey, paper chasing and polo on
wheels and now the very largest is a
series of races on bicycles in which the
prize goes to the one who is the clever
est at guiding his machine and at the
same time performing some feat or an
other-say holding an umbrella over
his head, while dashing along to the
goal. or disniounting several times in
the course of the race to pick up po-
tatoes placed at intervals.
1t requires no mean skill as a, cyclist
TO enter the lists of the gymkana races
as they are called. and just at present.
but few boys have tried them.
However, it is voted Jolly fun" by
all who have ventured in the contests.
Girls as yet have not gone in training
for gymkhana races but there is no tell
ing how soon they may do so and then
the boys must look to their laurels.
COSTUME AND PRIZES.
There is no doubt that the costumes
the boys wear for the contests add to
the interest of the spectators the
jaunty little forage cap and the jersey
in bright colors. the shiny boots and
spotless white breeches, the wheels
with gay streamers of ribbon. all help
to make the scene a gay and festive
one.
Prizes for the victors take THE shape
of almost any useful, or ornamental
article. A cyclometer, a lamp for ones
wheel, a wheel even, a silver inkstand,
or match box

fun and hilarity is the thread and

MODERN ROMEO COMES TO GRIEF
His Juliet Had Moved and He Was
Mistaken For a Burglar

His Juliet Had Moved and He Was
Mistaken For "A Burglar.
A modern and decidedly startling YER
sion of Romeo and Juliet" was en-
acted before daybreak Sunday at the
home of May Seabold, Brooklyn. The
central figure of the episode narrowly
escaped a bullet and saved his life by
jumping. from an extension roof to the
yard, a distance of twenty-five feet
The jumper was picked up uncon-
sciouS by two policemen, who supposed
he was burglar. Frederick G. ia
cobus, a young man of excellent fam
lily, the Romeo in the realistic play
was homeWard bound in a trolley car
The car reached Franklin avenue and
Jacobus got out. According to his own
story he suddenly recalled the fact
| that he was only q few blocks away
from the home of Miss Josie Pine. But
Miss Pines family moved Saturday
morning, and Mr.. Jacobus was una
ware of the fact. Then he made a
| mistake in the house and climbed up
to the second story of the house oc-
cupied by the family of Mr. Seabold
to the roof Of the rear addition. LWen-
ty-two feet above the ground. The
upShOt of his nocturnal climb was that
Miss Lulu Seabold suddenly appeared
at the window at which he was tap
ping and shrieked. Half a minute Ia
ter her brother, Max, was aiming a
shotgun at the introduer, whom he took
for a burglar.
Mr.. Jacobus Ieaped from the extern
sion roof to the ground He lay IN
conscious at the foot of the grape ar
Dor, when a policeman arrived. He
was taken to d police station and
charged with burglary, when he made
this statement:
II am the living Illustration of a
fool who is dead in love. I-really don't
know what L was doing, but in a
vague way I made UP my mind to go
to my sweetheart's house and go
through the role of Romeo and Ju-
Met,' in word, to exemplify the bal
cOny scene. [ got into the wrong
house, climbed up the wrong arbor
and began my protestations of love to
the wrong girl. Instead of a sweet
faced girl responding. a man with
wrath in his face and a rifle in his
hand appear at the window. This
knocked the Shakespearien notion out
Of my head and 1 jumped from the ex-
tension roof to the ground below. [
am sorry now that the man did not
shoot me and save me from ridicule if
not disgrace"
A friend of Mr.. Jacobus has explain
ed matters to Mr.. Seabold and the lat
ter has promised not to appear against
the prisoner.-New York Papers.

Paderewski.

OF what practical value will Pade-
rewski's piano playing be to the peo-
pie of our state?
Will the enjoyment of an hour or so
be the extent of it? No!
I shall not claim that music's infiu-
ence is sufficient of itself to enable us
to rise to a purified state of conscious
ness wherein is Wilderness, peace and
joy that is lasting, but [ think it will
be well for us to consider as to what
to expect from Paderewskis playing.
To begin with, it will lift the sense of
appreciation of piano music in par
ticular, so that in the future a higher
order of merit will be desired, and To-
cal talent will be encouraged and dealt
with more justly than if we had not
this opportunity.
1t viii be the greatest object lesson
that the world can give to those learn
ing to play. Again, it will be a great
help to Utah's coming composers
Children are beginning to show mark
ed ability in this direction, and to hear
PaderewSki may mean much to them
Does music help a country? 1t does!
Is not our appreciation of Germany
and other European countries largely
due to their wealth of music? Ger
tainly, See how much Grieg is doing
with his music, toward endearing Nor
way to the world
List did not come to us. Rubinstein
did not come. Paderewski is coming.
SO let us prove that we are a music
loving people by awaiting ourselves of
this opportunity, and let US look out
for the children who might not other
wise go to the tabernacle next We'd
nesday evening. We may in this way
help a PadereWski or Grieg that is
to be. c. F.. STAYNER.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH,s HOMIE.

Sir Walter Raleighs home in Ireland,
where he first planted the historic po-
tato, is still extant and in good repair.
Other houses connected with his name
have gone. Kilcoman castle -in Cork
is roofess, ivy clad ruin on the estate
of a descendant of the Barry, with
whom Raleigh had a bitter feud. No
alders are now to be seen on the banks
of the Mulla, once celebrated by Spen-
GER The manor house at East Bud
leigh has disappeared. But the war
den's house of the College of Youghal.
to which Raleigh took a fancy because
of it's resemblance to the Budleigh
manor, and which he obtained after
the confiscation of the Earl of Des-
monds property, still preserves his
memory.
The garden in which the potato was
planted comprises five acres, backed by
the ancient town of Youghal. The
house and garden were about twenty
years ago purchased by Sir John Pope
Hennessey, author of a life of Ra-
leigh, and remained in his possession
until his death in 1893 Then 1t was
sold by his widow. who had enlisted
the good offices of George Francis

DRESSING THE EGG AND SPOON
CONTESTS.
One race, called the dressing race, "
is subject to these rules:
bicycles to be brought to the start
ing point. The coat and vest of the
rider to be on the ground. After the
starting signal is given, each Compel
itor (Wfthout any outside asSistance)
to put on his vest and coat, mount his
wheel and make the best of his way to
the winning post, where he is to arrive
with his vest and coat entirely but
toned. Vest to have at least five but
tons, coat at least three buttons.
The egg and spoon race, which is
probably more difficult than any, is
regulated by these instructions:
Each competitor to receive a wood
en- spoon with an egg in it, to be car
rfed with one hand to the winning
post without breaking it. Should the
egg fall, the competitor is to replace it
in the spoon without assistance and
start again from the point where it
fell or he may return to the starting
post for another esq"
TESTS OF SKILL.
In the polo, ball and bucket race,
each rider has to place three polo balls
in separate buckets distributed be-
tween staring and winning points. The
first in after placing the balls is, Of
course, the winner.
Another race has to do with umbrel-
las as follows:
Wheels to be brought to the start
ing point where the riders stand each
with an umbrella. After THE starting
signal is given, each rider, without any
outside assistance, must put UP his
his way to the winning post, where he
is to arrive with the umbrella open
and in good order-the umbrella must
remain open from start to finish. This
is no easy contest, for the umbrella
usually proves an unwieldly subject.
Another race compels each one of the
competitors ''to ride to a point where
manikins are placed and carry one to
the goal on his wheel" The manikinS

and each time pick up a. potato. The
