Accident Mt Redmnnh.

SALIVA, Utah, August 1S.-A ter
rible accident occurred at Redmond,
thls county, yesterday afternoon, in
which the little 10-year-old son of An
ton Jensen lost his life by being choked
and traanpled to death by a burro. The
little fellow went on an eETand TO his
gTandma's, a distance of about mile,
riding the jack on his return home.
His grandma gave him a cake in one
hand and a bucket in the other. 1t
being inconvenient to hold the bride
reins at the same time, he threw them
around his neck. The animal became
frightened at something, and the boy
slipped off on one side. and in some
way the bride reinS became looped
around his neck and enc of his feet
His weight broke the bride bit, but
the head stall and reins remained in
tact, and the burro became frightened
and ran home, a mile distant, before
anyone knew what was the matter. 1t
remained for the chiid's mother to ex-
trioate him and first behold him man
glei and torn almost beyond recogni-
ton. The animal had done its utmost
to separate from its charge by kicking
end stamping the body until it was d
sight horrible to behold.

the leaves. Its flowers is a deep purple
in color.
From this strange admixture of plant
life Mr.. Du Val recently brought to the
office the first bloom. The flower is about
eight inches long and measures six inches
across the bell-shaped corolla, which is
indented like both the parent flowers, the
points ending in tendril-lilxe twists, as do
the Unison weed flowers. The corolla is
purple ON the outside, while the inside is
of cream color. Three layers If feshy
petals make up the blossom, the petals
being joined with what taiiors would call
a LAP seam" A green calyx cup sup
ports the flower, which grows on a stout
stem.
The deep purple color is continued in the
stamens and pistils, which form a group
deep down in the lily cup. The leaves of
the plant are like magnified oak leaves,
and when pressed emit the true jimson
weed odor.
Mr.. Du Val will report on this strange
lily to the seedssnen and VIII retain some
of the seds for future experiments in his

LIVES ON A NOVEL DIET.

Joshua Luton lives on the edge of
the marsh on the bay shore almost due
east from Redwood City His home is
not a pleasant one to look at, nor even
to get near for that matter 1t is only
a small shanty, built of all sorts of
odds and ends of such stuff as he has
managed to pick up along the shore.
But it is picturesque in the extreme.
and old Joshua. is one of the Queerest
men in the state.
Joshua says he is IS years old, but
he doesn't look it, for he is as hale and
hearty a man as can be seen in a day S
journey. He is as straight as a ships
mast, and his complexion is ruddy with
the glow Of health. He wears very lit
tie clothes but such as they are are
not unusual in any way. What is pc
culiar about Joshua, though, is the food
he eats, which consists entirely of frogs
and a few oysters.
The place that Joshua calls his home
is in about as unhealthy a spot as can
be found. The malanial exhalafious of
the marsh fill the air for miles around
and everything about his home is soak
ed with the damp, clammy vapor. And
yet he is happy and healthy, and says
he would not live anywhere else if he
could. He says anybody can live where
he does if they will live ON the right
kind of food. He is perfectly willing
to talk about his diet, but 1T is i'm
possible to get him to say a. word
about anything else. He wont even
tell where he was born.
1.-The reason people are sick in this
world" said Joshua, lis because they
don't eat the right kind of food Some
eat meat and some try to live on veg
etajbles. But they ain't either one right.
It amt right to eat meat, because you
hurt the animal when you kill it, If
you try to live Gun vegetables you will
mighty soon starve to death. Now L
have solved the problem by eating
frogs and oysters. They amt either
of them got any feeling, and they are
as nourishing as the fahtest beef that
was ever killed. 1 catch all the frogs
I want right at my door, and by taking
my boat can get a load of oysters in
an hour So you see have all / want
to ear and drink, and a comfortable
place to sleep, and I don't worry my
self to death. Try it yourself a week
or two, and I am sure that you will
never live as folks generally do again. p"

As Seen in Kamax.

KAMAS. Aug. III have read with
great interest the magnificent speech
of our illustrious nominee for presi-
dent, William j. Bryan, and when 1
see the slurs and faults that the gold
bugs and Republicans try to find
against it it seems impossible that any
person with good sound sense would
portray their ignorance in any such a
manner. Why, there is not a question
relative to finance that 2 sound think
ing man could ask but if he will take
the time to read that speech with an
unbiased mind he can find a plain and
straightforward answer TO this ques-
ton. 1t really seems that there is not
a point that can be touched on by
those in opposition but what is an
swered fully in that speech. In my
humDle estimation it is one-no, not
one-it IL the grandest speech ever
made before an audience in any time
in the past 1t is natural for worm
TO squirm when trodden upon, and as
that speech has trodden upon many
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-19

human worms, it is natural for them
to sqrirm and ridicule. Well, let them
squirm; it is all the consolation they
have, and that will only oe till the
votes are counted in November. 1t is
an established fact that all the sGuirm-
ing is done by the Wall
street-Rothscflilds clan, and it seems
to hurt them very badly. When the
poor man, the miner, farmer and day
laborer, were squirming and trodden
under foot, that was all right: but now
the poor man has risen in his might
and is determined to assert his rights
and has placed his foot on the aristo-
cratic worm it is all wrong; but the
old saying is, Every dog has his
day" We will have ours and let you
drink the bitter dregs of disappoint-
ment awhile. There are a few men
in our little town that have not got
the scales Of wool off their eyes yet,
who viii support Mckinley. It does
seem strange that people can't see
what is for their own benefit; but there
are none so blind as those who won't
see, and if they have not had enough
goldbug rule, my earnest wish is that
they could all go to some cline where
they would have no opposition, and
methinks they would soon sicken of
that kind of rule.
l see some controversy relative to
cur noble senators of last year claim
ing the right to hold over. They claim,
1t seems, that under the constitution
they should do so. How so? 1t says
plainly those elected in 1896 should
hold for four years from the 1st Of
January following. I fail to find men
ton made relative to senators elected
in 1895. In fact, if you must hold to
the constitution strictly, we might
claim that the legislature of 1895 was
illegal as there is no provisions for
their election in the constitution. 1t
seems absurd to try to class our last
senators as members that were elected
in 1896. Were that the case they would
undoubtedly have the hold-over right
but being elected in 1895, their claims
are out Of reason.
The people of this little town have
been visited by the smooth-tongued
blk. The main reason of his having a
smooth tongue was because he carried
the article with which to create it,
viz: soap! He visited our town about
the first Of the month, selling what he
claimed to be a medicinal soap, the
price being 81 box of six small cakes.
The great inducements offered, were
that any purchaser of a box of soap
could have their choice of any Of the
following prizes. viz: A china tea set
OF forty-eight pieces, a hanging lamp,
twenty-five yards Of Brussels carpet,
willow rocker and numerous other ar
ticles, prizes to be delivered all
charges prepaid, promptly on August
the 18th. They sold in the neighborhood
OF 100 boxes, and the purchasers are
now lamenting the loss of their dollar,
as 1t is loss, the soap being of no
value whatever.
The weather is quite warm but for
tunately we are blessed with rain
now and then to cool the atmosphere.
Haying is on in full blast and the crop
is heavier than for years past. Pros
poets are good for q plentiful harvest
of grain if the frost does not come too
soon.
