SHOULD Be BETTER TAKEN CARE OF.
Important County Records at Loose
Ends.
IF They should Happen to be Burned
Great Loss and Trouble Might
be the Result.

Ihe Board of Supervisors met yes
terday, all the members being present.
1t convened as a Swamp Land Board
and allowed a number of swamp land
warrants
After it reconvened as Board of Su-
pervisors. w. w. Rhoads asked the
board to pay a claim of S. T. Boyd on
the road fund for work done a year ago.
in order that the estate might be set
tied up The claim amounted to $124
more than was at present in the road
fund of the district, and that sum was
borrowed from the general fund tenn
porarily to pay it.
Henry Loss asked the board to put
red earth on a piece of road in the ST.
wash District, near the Costumes
River, where the adobe is very sticky
He said he was often called away from
work that he was anxious to finish, in
order to help some unfortunate who
had stuck in the mud.
Supervisor Jenkins reminded him
that that a great deal of work had
been done in his district during the last
year.
i know that" was the reply, "but we
never got any work done until you
came in" He offered to give one-third
Of the work if the county will do the
rest.
Yes" said Chairman Morrison, "I
have here a bill where. part of the work
was donated, and it will cost the county
more than private contract would
have done. am opposed to doing any
more road work until the funds haFe
come in, so as to do it in the spring and
pay for the work when it is DONE
F1,a g !, I,,o
Chairman, and the road will have to
wait
The Committee on Contracts reported
that the cases of the Speciality Metal
lie Company had been received and
placed in the Court Reporters office,
and recommended that the bill be paid.
The claim was allowed.
County Assessor Berkey, who was
present, said that in the old museum"
where the gallows and the voting
booths were kept, the old records of the
Board of Supervisors and many others
of the most valuable documents be-
longing to the county are kept on the
shelves. 1t is running a great risk to
have them in such a shape, as some day
someone will go in there and strike a,
light, and irreparable damage may en-
sue, leaving incomplete records for the
county that might result in expensive
litigation.
The proposition was made that the
gallows be sold at auction, as the coun-
ty has no further use for it under the
law requiring hangings to take place in
the State Prison. The suggestion was
also made that it might be presented to
the Suffers Fort Trustees, as a me-
mento of early days.
A discussion arose as to the use of the
desk telephone in the County Clerks Of
fee. On motion of Dreman, it was or
dered that no one beside the employees
of the office be allowed to use the in
strument.
The following saloon bonds were ap-
proved: w. White, Henry Kirn, Brigh-
ten; Emil Heinrich, 315 K street; Krogh
& Lund 525 K street; Thomas & Neal,

President Henry S. Tanner of Salt
Lake Here.


Lake Here.
Elder Henry S. Tanner of Salt Lake
President of the California Mission of
the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter
day Saints. arrived here yesterday
morning. He is visiting the saints re-
siding here, and is laboring in the
interest of the gospel. He intends re-
naming here about a month, during
which time he will deliver discourses
to the saints, and to the public gener-
ally at their usual place of meeting in
Pythian Castle. His subjects are an
nounced in the following order: Sun
day, January 18th, why and How
Mormonism Came Into Existence" and
the Historical Fulfillment of Nebu-
chadnezzar's Dream; Sunday, jan
uary 10Th, "The Object and Destiny of
Mormonism"; Sunday, January 26th,

may have an opportunity of hearing
him.
Elder Tanner has lately made a tour
through the southern part of the State
in the interest of the mission He vis-
tied there the cities and larger towns,
holding meetings in each place, and
or all occasions drew large audiences
of people who show an interest in the
teachings of the Mormon faith. He is a
gentleman of great experience in the
line of missionary work, having spent
much of his time in that calling. For
years he labored in the Southern States
Mission, much of which time he pre-
sided over work there. This mission
over which he is presiding now is re-
ported as being in prosperous con-
dition.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this
afternoon at o'clock and this evening
at s o'clock Rice's original 1892" COM
pany will appear. The troupe consists
of sixty -four people, who travel in their
own train, and hence there need be no
fear of a hasty and abridged perform
ance this evening as the company does
not leave the city for the East until day
break tomorrow morning. The Rice
company carries a large amount of
scenery, all of which will be used here,
the scene cars arriving here this morn
ing at 9:45 o'clock, giving ample time
ir which to set up all the scenery. The
company has been organized eight years
and has been playing this extravaganza
seven years of that time, with a few
changes in the way of betterments in
the personnel of the troupe. Bessie Bone
hill is the leading lady, but assumes a
male character. She has great personal
magnetism and is a comedienne of su-
perior quality. Ger assumption of a
male role is one of the very best we
have ever seen. She is clever singer,
a graceful woman and of exceeding
versatility. Richard Harlow, who plays
the part of Queen Isabella, has no su
perior in the assumption of female roles.
His figure, under skiIlful makeup, en-
ables him to take the part so well that
were the snap not given away the spec
tator would not suspect that the sex
characteristics are assumed. Ross
Snow is the King Ferdinand, and an ad-
mirable low comedian. At one time he
appears as a tramp, and his mimetic
art as that character makes him lead
ing. if not the leading figure in the play.
One of his eccentric acts is his fall and
backward somersault from a fourteen
foot ladder while playing a trombone.
He never misses a note on the way down
and lands on his feet in time with the
music. He regards the feat as belittling
his comedy work in the play, but for all
that it is what gives him most promi
nence in the eyes of his audiences.
Among the features of the 1892" per-
fomance is the presentation of the Kill
vani living pictures. These are far and
away the best ever given; nothing of
4he kind we have had here before any
where nearly approaches them. There
IS a perspective and scenic deception or
illusion in their mounting and framing
that is the cleverest cheat of the eye
sight of which we have any knowledge.
These pictures are art works of a high
order. and gave US more satisfaction
when we saw the extravaganza recently
than anything else in this wonderful
tumble of travesty, farce, burlesque and
satire. A superior feature of the "1492''
company is its orchestra, which is in
such harmony and pulse-beat with the
piece that not even the least apprecia-
tive of musical support can fail to no
tice it. The ballet and chorus of the
company is an attractive one and in
cludes some very good voices. The
scenic effects are all handsome, and
some of them very novel. The costum-
cry is rich and shows some of the latest
Partisan novelties in fall and winter
millinery. Assurance is given that

Early in February the distinguished

the last time he was the partner of
Frederick Warde, with whom he played
jointly in tragedy for a number of years.
Few actors have the fine equipment
with which nature ana experience have
endowed Mr.. James Heroic in mold and
presence, he possesses also a symmetri-
cal and well-knit figure, which lends it
self readily to representation of poetic
as well as robust characters. His voice
is powerful and musical, and is under
such control that it adapts itself to
every requirement of his art. He has an
impressionable temperament that al
ways rings true to whatever emotions
or humors he may wish to assimilate.
Mr.. James company is said to be one
of the strongest now before the public.
1t includes Guy Lindsey of the Warde
Company, James Comb, William Har-

entitled '"The Widow Jones'" She has
recently had a very successful engage
ment with it in San Francisco Miss
Twins work. whether in comedy, song
or dance, is invested with her own en-
gaging personality, which has won her
so much of applause and approval from
audiences on this coast. 1t is not her
first effort boxvpxa,. in ba will
be remembered for her success in the
comedy, "A Country Sport" and
"A Straight Tip" in both of which she
was a leader. We are assured that in
THE Widow Jones' she has a capital
part, which gives her unlimited oppor-
tunities to give her humorous person
ality full play and to shine to the very
best advantage. The story of 1.-The
Widow Jones" is concerned with the
trials of a wealthy young woman, who,
to avoid several suitors. betakes her
self to small Maine village, and later
on asserts that she is the widow of a
man named Jones, who, she has been
reliably informed, was drowned in the
neighborhood a couple of years previ-
ously. One result of her new position is
that an avalanche of Jones' unpaid bills
are showered on her; another even
more trying, is the saddling upon her of
Jones seventeen-year-o daughter
Having paid the bills and accepted
Jones offspring as her own, the sup
posed dead man suddenly appears, and
then begin a series OF provoking
complications, which continue through
three acts. In Miss Twins support are

M. Sparks, George w. Barnum, Rich

If all the world could give of woe or veal.
Could find within my heart no resting piaoo.
You would not think Of any bitter past,
You would not ch.de me for n careless word,
You could not be so cruel at the last
AS to condemn me- unconfessed, unheard.

With flowers all around me, on my breast
And in my hands, and on my face the light
That angels shed upon their dead at rest

Such bitter things as you have said to me,
With sternest anger you would drive away
That one and swear 'twere all base calumny.

Experience yet may toach--a bitter school

And yet ask you, humbly, tenderly,
If should answer nevermore your CALL
Would you not grieve of all most bitterly
For words and deeds that are beyond recalli
