THIEDEls BODY.
Objections to Allowing It 2 Resting
 Place in the Cemetery.

SALT SAKE, Utah. Aug 13.-Ghe body of wifo re~r1erqr Charles +. Thiede, who was hanged here on Fri day, was inferred by his relatives on the afternoon of the day of execution in the cemetery at Sandy. a small town
 fifteen miles south of Salt Lake. The citizens strongly objected to the hody oi the murderer being buried in their little cemetery, and it appeared that the relatives of the murderer, anticipa- ting opposition, had the grave secretly prepared without the knowledge of the ecclesiastical board, and conveyed the remains by secluded road to the spot, so that the body was laid away before any but the relatives knew of ot it. The people became very angry and held 8 mass meeting, and sent representatives | to Thiede's people, asking that the body l be removed within twenty four hours. 1 The demand was refused, and the committee threatened to exhume it and throw it into the river. The dead mans
 people armed themselves to the teeth,
 and kept guard constantly st the grave
 since Friday night, and in the mean
 time the sentiment against leaving the
 remains in the cemetery grew stronger.
 Those guarding the body were rein | forced, and conflict was only averted
 by the murderer's relatives capitulating Under force they signed an a.reemen nt
 to permit the body to be removed, and
 at midnignv night tho les tssS 1e. mains will be exhumed and reinterred
 in field adjoining the cemetery.

FRESH FASHIONS.
The Latest Additions to Costumes for the
Ladies.

Ladies.
The lemon-color cambria waists
bound in black and white are effective
enough to warrant all the favor theS are
receiving.
Black and white plaid sash ribbon
with warp-printed floral stripe was
seen in pretty use as turban crown. II
was laid in plaits crosswise, two strips
of straw braid crossing it in the center
so that the ends of the ribbon tlared out
at either side with good effect.
The sitter silks, the taffetas, JAG
guards and chimes and such fabrics are
the most popular. The Persian patterns
abound, but many of the lowered silks
look as though they had been brought
out of some old trunks, so quaint and
old-fashioned are the designs.
Crepons have, of course, no longer the
first place, but crepon is a material so
pleasant TO wear that it will be a long
time before it is quite driven off the
catalogue. The newest importations
show beauty of weave and perfection
of coloring that are hard to resist.

There is another thing, RUFF, for me
and you to shake hands over and be glad
about, says | to myself. We are movin
along smooth and easy without kickin
up any big dust to speak of with the
general government Ii the shebang
amt agin ms we are not agin the shebang
All we want is an open field and fair
fight-then let the best man win.
Blessed be God, we are sprung from the
aristocraey of simple homes and honest
hearts and hard knuckles, and il we
can't swim without full set of govern
nent gourds around us, by jngs we car
stay out of the water.
No doubts you have heard tell of the
big scheme some OF the candidates are
fiNin up so a man can borrow all the
money he wants by putin his farm
pToducements in soak with the general
government. We will be agin that move
on general principles. They say Dunk
Strickland has got little one-eyed,
siab-sided, wobbledy-legged, razor bacl;
steer, which he wants to put in soak
for $50 lie maintains if other people
can soak their lands and their crops he
can soak his steer, cause he amt go:
nothin else, and every man is free and
equal in this great country. That would
he a big thing for Dunk, you under
stand but if we start the soakin bust
ness with the government nobody knows
for certain where it would stop. As for
us, we couldn't soak our corn and cot
ton and seed potatoes if we had done
heen and run heels over appetite in
debt, and so long as we don't owe moth
in we can keep the stuff here at home,
or sell il and put the money away in the
family chist.
CoEsequentially, says l to myself, If
ii ever comes to that pass where we can't
make tongue and buckle meet without
soalIin somethin with the government,
then | will move that we go and put our

nFngry un the Crock

Now then. The primary election come
TO pass as usual one day last week. The
weather was clear as bell on election
day. but as the returns came in and be-
fore the sun went down ii was lookin
tremendous foggy up the creek for old
man lobe. And when finally at last
they swung down under the wire ii was
plain TO a man on the grand stand that
the candidate from Panther Creek was
the hindmost horse in the race.
Old man lobe he got left. He likewise
also got foamin mad. But the other fell
low got the votes.
The very next day old man lobe lit
out for the Panther Creek settlement.
He wouldn't take meal of victuals nor
hit lick of sleep till he rued the trade
and got holt of his farm and farmin fix
ments onest more. He is now ready to
give up his town house and return back
TO the old lick log, where he belongs.
II am plum satisfied with the way in
which the democrats run, and | am more
than willin to quit the game as it now
stands" says old man lobe to me right
after the storm. "But it really hurts
me, RHfe, when think about how many
of my orny-handed fellow citizens are
silver-tongued liars. Dad blame 'em,
the woods are full of 'em!"
And that's what makes me say to my
self, says I:
Fool politics makes fool people.
Never count your chickens till the old
hen comes off.
The mainest thing is the votes.

MESSAGES ON A SUNBEAM.
Sending Sounds Along a Ray of Light
DIR. Bells Experiment.

When walking through the laboratory
OF the "Nolta bureau" with DR.. A. Ora
ham Bell, the inventor of the telephone,
/ picked up on one of the shelves
piece of pine board about half an inch
thick and eight inches square. Out OF
the center of it extended speaking
tube, which apparently rested against
Il thin disk of bright metal sunk into the
opposite side.
This metal was like a silver mirror
ind was about as large around as the
bottom of tumbler. | asked DR.. Bell
what it was, and he told me it was a
perfected instrument whose original
construction enabled him to project his
VOICE from one point to another through
the medium of a sunbeam. 1t enabled
him, in other words, to send sounds
along a ray of light without the aid of
an electric wire. He took the instru.
ment and put the tube to his mouth,
holding the mirror so that it caught
the sun and cast little shadow-disli of
light on the opposite wall. Then by
breathing slightly he made this shadow
ilNi NeioN dliAl hllllihlSli anu dSSulllt NdIl-
Gus shapes by the action of his breath
against the mirror diaphragm.
THAT shows YOU" said he, chow the
action of the diaphragm is carried along
the ray. Now, if you will put little
bottle with some SCOT in it where that
shadow is on the wall and speak into
he tube you will find that the sound will
travel along the ray of light, and by
| having a receiver connected with the
bottle one would be able to hear what
you are saying. We have spoken by
this means to and from points 200 yards
apart, and there seems to be no reason
to doubt that speech may be sent along
beam of light for great distances. In
our experiment with this we first used
salenium, a very rare substance and very
sensitive to light. We have found, how
ever, that we can produce very good
results with common SCOT, and the dis
coveries may yet be made which will
make such an invention commercially

quisitely sensitive nerves of the ret;na

The nerves, moreover. of the fo,c,,I

more closely than at the back. and
transfer to the brain different senSo

alum placed on the back of the topona
tastes sweet, whereas on the tip it tastes
acid.
The sense OF taste is an almost certain
guide to the wholesomeness of foods, and
monitor which warns us when we are
in danger of swallowing any injurious
or poisonous substances.
Poisons, as n rule, are extremely dis.

| do reckon about the most lone

some man. And as for me, when / git
one these big lonesome spells on me
will stoop mighty low down for com
pany. / have seen the time when
was so hard run for company till
would talk in my sleep. Sometimes
go out and talk TO the horses and the
dogs. And then sometimes, when
can't do no better, pitch in and talk TO
myself.
So the other day was down in the
orchard sunnin my old clothes, and
watehin the bees hum and hustle, and
listenin at the birds, and smellin of the
apple blossoms, when presently got TO
talkin and argifyir with myself at a
scandalous rate. When l got back to
the house mother lowed l must be

crazy. But was neither.
Rufus Sanders, SAYS l to myself
these fine spring mornins are pleasant
10 look upon, but they have got a
mighty fetehln way Of startin mans
thinlin machinery off on the back trail,
now amt that so? We can swell up
and talk big about bein a man amongst
men and hayin head as big as a ham
per basket and the like of that But,
by lingo, when the apple blossoms
bloom, and the birds sing sweet and
constant, and it seems like everything
is breakin out in a fresh place-then
your mind turns backwards and goes
plungin off towards the old home down
there in the old settlement. You
couldn't catch by the tail with a steel
trap big enough for bear and hold it
back. Say, Rufc, how would you like
il if we could call back these many
years and be a boy oncst more? How
would il suit you to dig some grub
worms this mcrnin and go fishin over
on Caney branch? The sap is mp now
how would you like TO run away and

cut some hickory sprouts and make
whips and whistles? Wouldn't it be
bully times if q whole passle Of us boys
and girls could fling in together and
hunt for honeysuckles and sweet VIC
lets, or play humble peg, or build 1y-
