About n woman and n Horse.

About n Woman and n Horse.
One day my grandfather brought
home a new horse, one that he had
taken in some trade; hitched with a
halter to the back of a wagon, he was,
when he entered his new home because,
forsooth, my grandfather had not been
able to mount him to ride him home.
That's a fine lookout" said my
grandmother as she s-ood on the long
porch at the back of the house and
heard this account Of things, and you
say he's dangerous in harness, tool
admire your bargain, John"
"Well, 1t was this brute or nothing
on that debt and he's a fine fellow If
he wasn't So iH-tempered. Come here
and look him over yourself, Emmy"
so said my grandfather to my grand
mother, for one was as good a judge
of horsehesh as the other and that is
saying good deal for both.
All this time the new horse stood or
pranced restlessly, while a negro boy
held his halter. Take care, ole miss, -
cried tine boy when the lady stepped up
to the big grey brute, but she didn't
notice the warming She took hold Of
the horses head and drew it toward
her and looked in his eyes. Now here
is as curious a part of the story as any
and it is absolutely true; she and
Jake as he was already named,
naturally surveyed each other and they
did it to such good purpose that she
said after moment to the negro boy:
''Tom, do get my saddle and bring
it here" then to her husband: Now,
don't say aword; I know what L am
doing Seer and she picked up the
horses feet opened his mouth took
every liberty with him, while he acsed
as if she were Mary and he the lamb.
She put the saddle on him with her
own hands, then led him to the porch
steps, sprang into the saddle and rode
around the yard. Jake stepping as
carefully as if he had a load of eggs on
his back.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
DISCUSSION OVER THE FIFTH
SOUTH STREET SEWER
Contractor WilkersOn Says it is
Completed, But Chairman Goliath
and Engineer Kelsey Take an En-
tireIy Different of 1t.

The board of public works held a
short meeting yesterday afternoon, and
discussed the matter of the Fifth
South street sewer. Mr.. Wilkerson
saws the sewer is completed but
Chairman Goliath and City Engineer
Kelsey are of an entirely different
opinion
The result of it all was that Mr..
Wilkersons bondsmen, A. L. Hobson,
Harry Duke and James Hegner, have
been given five days notice that unless
the sewer is completed at once the city
will go ahead and do the work, de-
d11cting the cost from Mr.. Wilkerson' s
final estimate. This action was taken
in accordance with recommendations
from City Attorney Mckay to whom
the matter had been referred by the
city council.
Nr. " ilkerson yesterday sent the fol-
lowing letter to the board:
-. IN ARR an agd emberS OF the
Board of Public Works:
Centlemen-After a hard struggle,
and through many difficulties unfore-
seen. | desire to inform you l have
completed the Fifth South street sewer
strictly according to the specifications
and contract, and I now respectfully
ask a settlement at your earliest con-
venience. If you are not disposed to
settle with me az once l would be
pleased if you will pay the accom-
panying pay roll as the men are need
ing their money badly.
l notice the city council have IN
structed the city attorney to give an
opinion in regard to your taking charge
of the sewer and completing it. If he
should give an opinion in the affirma-
tive. I notify you now 1 claim that the
sewer is completely finished in accord
ance with the specifications, and no
tify you not to undertake to do any
thing to it at my expense. 1t has al
ready cost about $1,000 more than the
CITY engineers estimate, clearly show
ing he is as liable to mistakes as any
one. Hoping you will carefully con-
slider this matter, and act to the best
interests of all concerned, remain
very respectfully yours,
L. G.. WILKERSON.
The pay roll referred to in the let
ter amounted to about $500. In addi-
ton to this there have been claims
fled with the board against the con-
tractor aggregating something like

UNIVERSITY OF UTAH NOTES.

The registration of new students
still continues at the university.
The students are entering into their
work with ardor and all the classes
are now well established. The num-
Der of elective college subjects chosen
by qualified students is unusual and
speaks well for the advancement in
scholarship of those attending the uni
versity.
The arrangements for seminary work
have been great improved since last
year and much more thorough and
extensive work is promised in conse-
quence.
A football team has been organized
by the students and practice in field
athletics has already been begun.
The extensive purchases of furni-
ture made last summer have been put
in place.
An effort is being made to establish
kindergarten department in connec-
ton with the normal department of
the University of Utah
The manual training department has
been thoroughly fitted UP and the
number of students desiring to register
for the course far exceeds the number
who are required to take it,
The DeSeret museum, which is still
located in the university laboratory
building, is of great service in pursuing
the natural sciences, and teachers and
students, sometimes whole classes
have recourse to its collections for
study. The museum is open to the
public daily from 1890 am to pm,
holidays excepted.
The first excursion of the geology di-
vision of the field club was taken yes
terday. Practical work forms an i'm
portant part of the course in geology
throughout the year.
Students count on Saturdays fol-
work in the laboratories and the labor
atory accommodations are taxed tc
their utmost on those days
The programme of the public lee
ture course is soon to be announced
and the course begun.
Many persons find it advantageous
to visit the university classes regular
~ and observe the progress made in
the work.
Practical work in surveying is now
being prosecuted vigorously.
The matter of the land fund. con-
corning which many foolish comments
have been made, has now been settled,
and the university was never on a bet
ter financial basis than at present.

JAPAN'S DISASTERS.
Typhoon, Floods and Earthquakes
Cause Much Misery and Want.

TyphoOn, Floods and Earthquakes
Cause Much Misery and Want.
TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 3.-Japanese
advices to September 10 received by
the steamer Braemar, give graphic de-
tails of the widespread destruction
wrought by the recent typhoon, foods
and earthquakes. Many of the most
important silk factories of the empire
were so damaged that they were COM
PEELED to close. The cotton crop of
Yamaohiono and Settsu was damaged
one-half, and in Yamato and Kawachi
provinces 80 per cent. Owing to the
food partial vegetable famine exists
in Niigata prefecture. In Rakuga, Ak
tia province, over 1000 business houses
were destroyed by the earthquake.
Dysentery is spreading over the en-
pire and many deaths result. There
were "a. 1898 cases reported during the
month of August, $50 cases in the city
of Toxic alone. The proportion of
deaths throughout the empire is about
one in ten of those affected.

Well, he was a. lady's horse with a

one but my grandmother ever mounted
him. No one else could; but between
those two the tie that had been formed

Jake's death, years after. No better
understanding ever existed in the whole
romantic field of friendships between
horses and riders. The lady was not

EXCITEMENT KILLS A MONKEY.


It is believed the monkeys in the zoo
knew they were to be removed into bet
ter quarters before it occurred last Fri
day. They had. no doubt heard the new
monkey house talked about as the finest
III the world by visitors and keepers. and
realized that there was to be some great
change in their condition. This naturally
Interested them and kept them on the tip
toe of expectation. For several days be-
fore the removal their excitabie natures
were well wrought up, and on the day OF
removal their excitement was almost IN
controllabie, showing plainly they had
kept posted regarding the eventful day.
When the hour arrived a favorite monkey
and splendid specimen of his kind was
taken by the keeper from the old house
to be CHARTERED in the new one. 1t was
seen that he was in d highly excited con-
dition and on the way to the new home
he suddenly expired in the keepers
arms. 1t was a clear case Of heart dis
ease brought to a fatal termination by
the unusual excitement Of the OCCASION
