Sen of Azov Frozen over.

The first time in the remembrance OF
the living generation the Sea Of AzoV is
frozen over solid. The Don River and
the Sea Of Azov froze very suddenly
in a rather unexpected way, and as
consequence a number of vessels were
taken unawares and stopped on theit
way. More than twelve steamers are
HELPLESS in the ice between Azov and
IRostov. and a large number of vessels
are dispersed In various parts of this
immense frozen shoot Of water, first
tossed about by the violent storm and
then held fast in the glacial embrace

New York Press, an Italian walked in
to town leading a dancing bear and told
story which accounted for the in
)uries. His name was Antonio Maxia,
and he was on his way from Buffalo to
New York. As the weather was mild.
he conceived the idea of saving rail.
road fare and picking up a few coins
along the way by walking the distance.
Without adventure he reached a point
between Binghamtou and Vestal, when
he determined to stay in a vacant barn
over night.
Accordingly, 'Beppo" was lodged in
one corner of box stall and Antonio
curled down on a pile Of straw for a
nap. He was awakened by several
rough forms bending over him and a
voice saying: Wen go through him
anyway, and If he hollers a kick in the
head will finish him."
Antonio was frightened. He had $40
In belt. AS one Of the men seized his
arms, he gave the whistle he used to
call his four-footed cervant. The men
thinking he was signaling n comrade,
threw him down and choked him until
he gasped for breath. They did not
see the dark form that emerged from
the box stall and shufIied toward them.
Evidently "Beppo" realized the situa-
ton at once, Among his other accom-
pllshments he had at one time given
boxing exhibitions with his keeper. AS
one of the men who was bending over
the Italian looked up and saw the heavy
figure, he gave n shout, Catching up
club he struck violently at the bear.
The blow was parted and the club
sent crashing through window. Then
companion drew revolver. A blow
sent the weapon in one direction and
the man sprawling on the ground. Then
It was that the wounded man drew
knife and attempted to attack bruin.
He was seized in brawny arms and left
shrleking for help as his companions
led.
Fortunately for the man Antonio had
egained his senses and compelled the
animal to loosen his hold. The tramp
on being released staggered to the door
and out into the darkness. Antonio
thinks that only for the prompt aid rem
dered by "Beppo" that night he would
have been robbed and perhaps MUIR
dered. AS 1t was he had enough Of tour
ing in that section, and with his four
footed friend took the train for Port

The old-ume idea that the slightest
touch of a foreign substance on the
heart means certain death was shatter-
ed years ago. One Of the most remark
able cases ever heard Of, however, was
that described in a paper read before
the Association of American Physicians
some years ago by Dr.. Peabody. 1t
was of a case where a pin was found
in a human heart after having been
there for an indefinite period. The
point of the pin was distant about five
mlllimeters from the external surface
of the heart. The pin seemed eroded,
and was broken by the scissors in dis
section, without becoming displaced.
There was no evidence Of recent local
inflammation, but that part of the heart

There is now pending in the legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania a measure to ap-
propriate the sum of 100000 toward
preserving the battlefield of Valley
Forge in that state.
Some objection has been raised to
the measure on the ground that more
urgent demands are pressing upon the
state, and that nothing of this kind
should be attempted until better times
return. In spite of this plea, however,
it is likely that the sum stipulated in
the bill will be voted by the legislature
during the present session.
In Pennsylvania, as in Massachu-
sets, there is quite a mania among
the people for preserving old relics.
Nor is this characteristic to be con-
demned. Aside from keeping con-
stantly before the eye the landmarks
of by-gone days, it serves a benefcent
and patriotic purpose, and no doubt
offsets, in a large measure, the sordid
Tenderness of the present age. In seek
ing to preserve the battlefield of VAL
ley Forge, therefore, the people of
Pennsylvania have displayed a spirit
which deserves commentator.
Around the name of this historic
field cluster some of the most stir
ring memories of the revolution. AL
though it has not come down to us as
a synonym of victory, it is neverthe-
less rich in its hallowed associations,
and is a constant reminder of what our
fathers suffered in order to purchase

fable pride in her system of public
schools. About four years ago they be-
gan the erection of some new school
buildings at a cost of $16,OOO and from
that time new impetus has been
given to the growth and progress of
the schools. The outlook the present
year is most encouraging. The num-
per and attendance from year to year
has been constantly increasing. In 1894
the enrolment was about 400; in 1895.
515; in 1896, $50, and the present year
has already reached nearly 900, which
number Will be considerably increased
at the beginning of the year
As result of this rapid increase
two new departments have been added
the present year. The schools are under
the management of w. l. Brown as
principal. Mr.. Brown is a, graduate of
one of the oldest New England colleges

years. He is ably assisted the present

SOME HING ABOUT JUAB.
Her Salt and GYPSUM Live Stock and Public Schools

With the close of the year Nephi has
passed through one of the most trying
periods of it's history, though more
hopeful signs appear in the financial
horizon. In the old days, when freight
ing was the general business of the
people in this section of Utah, NeDhi
was considered the most prosperous
and progressive city outside of Salt
Lake. This was the fitting-out station
for ore and freight teams, which, in
those days. journeyed south as far as
Phoebe. New. Since the advent of the
iron horse, however, a decided change
came DER. the scene, of thrift and in
dustry, and an enormous percentage of
the money which used to be disbursed
here went into the newer and improved
channels of transportation.
Still, in the face of these drawbacks,
Nephi has the making of a good city,
and Juab county the material for a
good county. Surrounded as it is by
mineral-bearing rock, whose ore veins
can be traced in every conceivable d1-
rection, having a gypsum mine, with
other deposits of like quality, and
which has not its, equal in the west;

UTAH COUNTY PROSPERS.
Her Wealth Reaches Ten Millions and Is Rapidly In
creaSing.

ASter looking over figures. statistics
and outputs which are contained be-
low, the conclusion is arrived at that
Utah county has had a most prosperous
Year. This showing is not only evidence
that the county has experienced a rich
growth, but shat future is before US
winch is tiattering in the extreme. Much
might be written upon the beauties
and resources of the valley, with its
VIDE acreage, fruitful fields, prosperous
factories, delightful streams and lakes.
In the halmy boom days of several
years ago the imagination led business
men into the traps from which some
nave not yet become eXtricated. We
looked for a transformation which
would convert our towns into metro
politan cities Large sums of money
Were borrowed and spent laVishly. Soon
II was learned that such a growth.
where the resources were of an agricul-
tural and manufacturing nature, was
unnatural. The result was that prom
lnent merchants went out of business
when the reaction came, sheriff sales
We're as common as ordinary transac-
tions- Today conditions are different,
business being upon surer footing,
ana our lawns and villages are eXpe-
riencing a slow, sure and solid growth.
Two thousand one hundred and TWEEN
ty-fcur square miles are included in the
area Of Utah county, and of this num-
Der SOS are valley lands, under the high
est state of cultivation. The average
elevation of the valley is from 1900 to
1880 feet.
INCREASE IN POPULATION.
Since last year the population of Utah
county has increased nearly 1000,
bringing it now close to $4,000. A por-
ton OF this increase is due to enligra-
Ton. When the resources of the county
are considered, this .is a very small
population. Conservative estimates
have been made that 200, 900 people could
flourish within these confines. All that
would be necessary 10 support this
number would be a proper develop
ment Of the agricultural and manufac-
turing resources. 1t is a source of gen
eral surprise that the power which
comes from the Timpanogas river has
not been more extensively utilized by
