Gordon as Boy Was up to Many
 Kinds of Mischief.


 When Gen. Gordon was a lad at school he was as mischievous as most boys; indeed, more so. The following story is told of him by Dr. Bixby, who was at one time at school with him When the boys had done anything wrong they were shut in large. barely furnished room and set to write lines from Latin author.
 One of the most frequent visitors to shis room was the late general, and he used frequently to be annoyed by the boys who were free in coming to the door. and peering at him through the kew hole. telling him what q fine afternoon 1t was, and inviting him to come out and lick" them.
 Though he could not oblige them in the former, he resolved to do his best for them in the latter particular. He borrowed large garden syringe from the gardener. and, taking it with him the next time he was sent to write lines. went round to the various desks and sucked up the ink into the syringe. Several other boys were in durance vile with him. and they eagerly awaited the approach of their tormentors.
 By and by they heard stealthy foot steps coming down the passage. Near CT and nearer they came, and at last halted outside the door. They're peep ing through the keyhole," whispered the future general, and. placing the syringe at the keyhole, he spirited the contents through with all the energy he could muster.
 There was smothered exclamation of disgust, and then an appalling si- lence. Then some one fumbled with the handle of the door; it opened, and in stalked the head master. his face black with wrath, and his once immaculate

The Great Demand for Flags in

More Than Twice That Number Are Flung to the Breeze on July 4- The American People Are
 Patriotic.
FCopyright 1897 I

More than 5o,ooo,oo flags are bought every year by the people of the United States to display on the Fouth of July. More than 1oo,ooo,ooo flags are flung to the breeze on that day.
 The fag-mal1er of 20 years ago had a smaller capital invested, did less work, and made greater margin of profit than the flagmalter of today; but the competition which drove the fiagmaker to reduce the price of his wares developed an increase of business that more than doubled his trade. The flag business to-day amounts to half a million dollars year, and fully one

The strips are then sewed together. and the stars sewed on the square blue field Twenty. five years ago the white stars were in. laid, and some makers made flags in that way until year ago. The ar engagement of stars on the flag is made by the government and officially pro mulgated. It is followed exactly in the making of the better class flags, and until two years ago it was followed too in the making of printed flags. Just before the admission of Utah. the cuts of wood and brass from which the flags are printed were destroyed and new cuts were made. This entailed con- siderable outlay; and believing that it would be only a short time before the other territories were admitted, the flag makers put in the new design. 4s stars. Curiously enough, therefore, the printed flags displayed all over the country on the Fourth of July this year will be incorrect; but it is doubtful whether anyone who does not read this article will stop to count the number of stars on a flag.
 The expense of changing the design of flags when a new state is admitted, how ever, is always balanced by the in- creased business which comes to the flag makers, because the owners of flags want them to conform to the regulas tions and many large flags are sent in to be altered and many others are de stroyed when the new star is added.

Justice Hulaniski yesterday fined W.

a telephone without license contrary
to the city ordinance recently passed. A
like fine was imposed on the company
itself.
Speaking of the matter the justice

tutioral-a direct violation of the clause
which says all property shall be taxed
equally. However, | did not think it
within my power to declare it so.

tice in the state and the fact that l
am q. lawyer makes no difference with
the scope of my powers. city ordi-
nance had been violated if the company
was maintaining a telephone without a
license. The evidence showed that it
had. There was nothing for me to do
but adjudge the defendants guilty and
let the case go before a court empow-
cred to pass on the validity of the or
dinance'
Il think the claim that the ordinance
is a violation of the interstate COM

has on a lawn mower"

Professor Eaton Talks of Chemistry
and Water.

Concerning the purity of OEden's
water supply and the tests made and
tests proposed of it. Professor George
A Eaton yesterday was heard 10 re-
mark:
"A complete quarantine and analysis
such as the Standard said would cost
from $50 10 $3.50. would be OF no inter-
est or advantage EXCEPT 10 advanced
chemists. II does not concern an ogden
man TO know what the original ele-
ments of water are, hydrogen. oxygen.
nitrogen and some dozen Other chemical
substances. 1t does concern him TO
know if ii contains an unusual amount
of organic matter. Nearly all water.
unless distilled, contains d little organic
matter. Now. such a test can be made
very simply and cheaply. Organic mat
ter is easily separated from the ots,er
substances in water. Such a test might
not cost more than IS, and should not
under any consideration cost more than
SIS. l consider that DR.. Joyce has
every qualification fer making such an
experiment.
\ LITTLE LEARNING DANGEROUS.
As to the test which the Standard
claims TO have made and recommends
that others make, Professor Eaton said,
after carefully reading it:
The experiment IS impossible TO the
ordinary person, because it calls for
pure sugar, a much more difficult sub
stance TO obtain than pure water. I
can take ordinary sugar and keep it
free from all moisture except what is
=, the atmosphere, and have visible
animal life develop in il in few days
Unless the eX9erimenters have cherui-
cally pure sugar, and only a chemist
car tell if it is chemically pure: they
Will put the germs of animal life into
the bottle with the ten grains of

VISITED THE BOARD.
Stormy Time Between Merchants and
Board of Equalization.

stormy Time Between merchants and
Board of Equalization.
A rather lively time was had for an
hour or so yesterday morning before
the board of equalization. when some
dozen Ogdeii merchants, as per agree
ment at the Weber club, called to pro-
test against the proposed raise in va!u-
alton of merchandise stocks. Though
quite a large number of those who are
anected by the proposed raise were
not present.
1t is understood that many did not
favor the plan Of going en- masse, but
OF appearing individually as they were
summoned. and laying their objections
before the board.
The merchants were particularly de-
sirous of ascertaining on what figures
the board based its proposed valuation
CT stocks. Although asked the question
in various ways by several different
parties the board did not show its hand
if il has a fand and there is an i'm
preston abroad that it has.
The meeting developed considerable
heat. After various merchants had eX-
pressed their views on the proposed ac-
ton, using pretty plain language, Mr..
Harmon made a rather animated re-
ply in the course of which he referred
to an admission made by a previous
speaker, that real estate was not worth
more than one third of it's assessed val
uation. Mr.. Harmon argued that this
being the case, the merchants should
not COMPLAIN at being assessed at the
cash valuation of their stocks. Mr..
Harmon also said something about the
merchants coming like an ORGANIZED
mob. Some of them took offense at this,
but later Harmon withdrew the re-
mark and begged pardon.
Nv na
visit en- masse, as the beard paid little
attention to complaints, except where
individuals made them.
Several times Chairman Armstrong
called the attention of speakers to the
fact that valuations had not been
raised. but that notice had simply been
given to show cause why il should not
be raised.
After the visitors departed, the board
heard individual complaints, the rule
being to ask a merchant if he wished
to make statement under oath. When
this was done he was questioned as TO
the value of his stock when last in
ventoried and whether there had been
an increase or decrease; also how much
was due him on accounts and what his
liabilities were. No action was taken in
any of the cases.
One prominent merchant, speaking of
the proposed raise said: The board,
believe, is making the increase on the
basis OF inventories of stocks taken by
merchants on Jan. /. This is unjust.
because a merchant in making his in
ventory, wants to keep his credit and
to protect himself against loss by fire.
The insurance companies are pretty
sure to cut his inventories in two and
that's the only way he can protect him.
