after Exciting Experiences the Out
laws Are Landed in Jail.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. SO.-Mexican
officers have made an important cap
ture Of horse thieves in the Cocopah
mountains, a few miles below the boun-
dairy line, and after an exciting ex-
peTience and narrow escape from
death at the hands of the outlaws. the
prisoners have been lodged in the En-
senada Jail For months past horses
and cattle have been missed by ranch
el's and stockmen near Campo, just
north of the boundary line, but no trace
of the stock has ever been found. The
country is mountainous and sparsely
settled and trails leading into Lower
California were evidently used in run
ming off the stock. Ten days ago two
stock men at Campo lost ten head of
stock and started out to search for
them. They found a trail and followed
1t for twenty miles into a little park
IN the mountains. Here they discovered
thirty head of horses hobbled, and
started to recover their own stock
when they We're fired on from ambush
and forced to gaAlop away They
started back after assistance and after
riding mile they heard the cries of
man. They followed the sound and
found an old Frenchman named Rab-
avo tied TO a tree among the pines. He
had been there for two days, and was
nearly dead. He informed the stock
men that the Mexicans had robbed
him OF his horse and bride and tied
him to tree to die. He had been
unconscious for hours before he heard
the stockmen pass, and cried out.
The stockmen took Rabavo with
them and proceeded to Campo, where
American officers We're notified. They
notified the Mexican officers ait Te-
carte, below the boundary line, and
with them returned to the Cocopah
mountains. where by strategy they sue

named Rudoifo Gallegos, who was
lately released from San Quentin, Cal

they captured Jim Dukes, an American
member of the band, but they failed to
capture the leader of the outlaws,

To Ask For weyler's Recall.

KEY WEST, Fla. Aug. 3O.-Great ex-
citement prevails in Havana over Wey-
ler's decree in regard to the sugar and
coffee crops: 1t is believed if issued the
decree will be strongly opposed. Serious
complications are expected from the
Spanish element. It is rumored that the
Conservative party held a secret meet
ing last night and decided to ask the
home government for Weyier's recall,
and if refused to forcibly expel him, as
was done to General Dulce in the last
war.
1t is understood that Consul Lee has
strongly, protested against the notice post
ed at the entrance to Cabana fortress.
stating if the American consul present
himself there TO detain and arrest him.
Lee has also demanded that Weyler make
a full investigation of Charles GOWNS
death.
It is further reported that Quintin Ban
dera and sixty followers have crossed the
southern section of the trocha and are
now operating around Pozo Redond and
that Bandera will assume command of the
forces in Havana province, heretofore IN

1. O. o. F.

The lodges held their usual meetings
but the amount of business in which
the public are interested was small.
The attendances, however, were gen.
orally good and the meetings were en-
joyable and profitable to those who
were present. This order is making
very satisfactory progress throughout
the jurisdiction and right along new
lodges are being instituted both in the
larger cities and in the country dis
trtcts, SO that numerically and other
wise the order is growing.
The influence of Odd Fellowship has
interjected into the materialism of

herald the breaking Of another day.

RAILWAYS IN CHINA.

After Decades of Endeavor the En-
pire Is to. BE Opened to Railroads.
Several railways are at last to be
built in China, according to a, recent
Pekin Gazette. One line is to connect
Pekin with T1en-Tsen. 1t will be only
about eighty miles long and constructed
entirely with government funds.
Another road Is to run across central
China from Pei1in to Hankow. The
emperor has decided that the railroads
Will stimulate trade in China, besides
giving employment to the masses of the
people, and so it will give it all the sup
port in It's power.
A third line is to be built from Shang-
hal to Soochow. The road, although it
will be only about sixty-five miles long,
is expected to accomplish a great deal
by opening up the province OF Kaingsu.
The viceroy of Marking has always
strongly opposed all railroad projects
in China, but is now enthusiastic over
the enterprise, and offers to provide haIf
the cost out of the official treasury and
urges his people to subscribe for shares
for the remainder.
Surveys are now being made and the
work will probably soon be under way

A. O. q. w.

The A. o. U. w. is well to the front
among the fraternal orders, and in
point of activity during these quiet
months is ahead Of most of them. The
meetings are always well attended and
the interest is unflagging. Temple
lodge is doing good work and is fast
becoming one of the strongest lodges
in the Jurisdiction. Its meeting on
Monday evening was a fine one and
several applications for membership
were received.
Zion lodge had a most interesting
session, and as is usually the case it
was enlivened by the presence of a
number of visitors from sister lodges.
Salt Lake Valley and Hercules lodges
enjoyed good meetings and both had
degree work. The former will have a
meeting of unusual Importance next
Thursday evening, when Grand Re
cordeT- Thorburn will explain the prin-
ciple of the graded assessment plan.
On this subject the last issue of the
Rocky Mountain Workman has the
following article:
By reference to our supreme lodge
report on the first page it will be seen
that the graded assessment plan was
adopted and left optional with grand
lodges 10 adopt it or not as they deem

sEN11MENT OF PERFUME.
Each Variety Suggestive of Some
Condition of Life.

Some people says the large and portly
person to the Star reporter, as they stood
in a drug store with a case full of per-
fumes spread before them, don't seem TO
exercise one bit of judgment in the scIec-
ton of a perfume. WHAT they appear to
want is something that will find its chief
function in concealing some other smell
which is less pleasant.
TT isn't so with me. To me there is
sentiment in smell, if you will permit the

cause OF the sentiment When L was

| might say he never ceases to love it..
Now, here" and the large and portiy per-
son picked up a bottle of some fashionable
scent, this is an odor that reminds me
always of crowded ball rooms, of women
in satins and laces, of men in full dress,
of music and dancing and Wine and long
hours into the night and heaviness and
sorrow in the morning. Do you think l
want to get a Whit of that sort of thing
every time I take out my handkerchief?
There's another. This reminds me of

lights the temptations, the joys, the tri-
bitterness, the broken hearts, the every
thing that a man would rather forget
and a woman can never forget. Not any
perfumed reminders Of that kind, if you
please.
There are others that are equally unde-
sirable, and there are others that are so
artificial that they remind me of nothing,
and they are, if anything, worse than the
others.

person picked up a bottle, lis what l use,

funle brings to me is what all the gold

grasp in his grasping for what is worth

The large and portly person was silent
for as much as a minute, gazing as if at
something which was not of the material

Calanthe lodge met on Monday even
ing with a fair attendance. There was
no degree work but several applica-
lions for membership were received
and referred TO the proper committees.
Myrtle, the old reliable, had a fine
meeting on Tuesday evening at which
short speeches were made on topics OF
interest to the order in general and the
lodge in particular. Several visiting
brothers were present and the meeting
was full of interest.
Monitor lodge met on Wednesday,
but nothing of special interest oc-
Cured.
Rocky Mountain had we'll attended

several visiting brothers were present
and interesting talks were made on
the subject of fraternity.
The excursion to Garfield, a full re-
port Of which has already appeared in
The Herald, was a great success and
was the chief event of the week in the
order.
In regard to the endowment rank the
grand chancellors report for the year
ending June, 1896, has the following:
This branch of our order in this do
main needs attention. [ understand
that in other domains organizers are in
the field and the membership is grow
ing very satisfactorily.
Utah has three sections, with a mem
bership about one hundred, carrying
about 5000 00. 1 trust that efforts will
be put forth to make this branch more
prosperous in our domain.
To give a correct idea Of the growth
in other domains and the need of
energy in this, I submit the following
excellent summary from the last quar-
terly report Of the board of control Of
the endowment rank:
1.-The quarter ending March 81, 1896,

sections have been enrolled, Missouri
