Enos Thomas, one of the High
School graduates of last year, died
last Monday at Quincy, ILL.,, where he
was attending Business College.
The deceased was the son of Uriah
Thomas, formerly of Carlyle, but ever
since he was four years old his home
has been with MIR. c. g. Null, who
took him and brought him up as his
own son. The first intimation Mr..
Null had of the boys illness was
about a week before his death when
he wrote saying that he was not feel
ing well but was taking medicine and
hoped to be all right in few days.
The next word that came was a dis
patch from one Of the teachers in the
college saying that Enos was very ill,
and this was followed by another in q
few hours announcing his death. His
parents removed some years ago to
Oklahoma, but Mr.. Null does not
know their present address, and as
none of the family is here he wired
directions to have the remains inter-
ed at Quincy. Enos Thomas was q
promising yonng man. Intelligent,
industrious, ambitious and Of excel
lent character and habits. 1t seems
pitiful that he should come to his
death thus untimely and among
strangers, on the very threshold of
what promised to be a happy and use
full life. Mr.. Null loved him almost
as he would have loved his own son,
and feels his loss deeply. The day
following his death Mr.. Null receiv-
ed letter of which the following is a
copy.

the total number on her body at not
less than 5000. A similar case, al

MOUNTAIN MAHOGANY.

Very few people in Utah and Ne
yada realize what an important ele-
ment OF wealth clothes the south
slopes OF nearly all the mountains ol
any altitude, and fewer still are aware
OF its existence. Near the summit ol
all the mountains in the arid regions
are TO be seen veritable forests OF the
wood that is known as mountain ma
hogany. 1t is always on the south
slope, and It's descent down the noun
tain side is almost exactly to the same
altitude that the pines reach on the
northern slope. 1t has never been re-
garded as possessing commercial
value, but it burns better than any or
dinary coal; gives forth bright blaze
with little or no smoke, and throws
out more heat pound for pound than
any but the best grades OF anthracite.
Even after going through what APP
pears to be complete combustion it is
unchanged in form and leaves no
ash, but is converted into charcoal
that is superior in heating quality and
in the length Of time it burns, 10 the
charcoal OF any other wood. When
the sap is in the wood it seldom
checks, but when it is thoroughly sea-
soned it is as hard, almost, as lignum
vite, and possesses specific gravity
as great. So hard and compact is its
fibre that block pullys made Of it are
everlasting, and it has been used sue
cessfully for mill shafting and for
bearings. In some instances it has
been satisfactorily substituted for iron
dies in stamp mills. Its qualities are
distinct from other hard woods of the
temperate zone in that its smaller
branches and twigs retain no fexibil-
iiy, but in nearly every instance
where lienum Vita is used the noun
tain mahogany would make splen-

cost. There is an unlimited quantity OF
it in the ranges on both sides OF salt
