Elias Smith was born SO years ago AZ
Royalton, Vt, and in his early youth
the family migrated to St. Lawrence
county, New York, where, on Aug. u,
1885, he was baptized into the Mormon
church, which his cousin, the revered
prophet Joseph Smith, founded. BY the
time he had grown to manhood, Elias
Smith, by his habits of industry, per-
severance and studiousness. had be-
come the personif1cation of self reli-
ance. independence and intellectually.
which characteristics made him a man
of great prominence IN after years
among the people with whom ne cast
his lot. The many trials and privations
endured by the Saints from Kirkland.
O., to Salt Lake City became a part
of his experience. For a long period he
had charge of that historic publica-
ton, Times and Seasons.
In October, 1851, Elias Smith arrived
in Salt Lake valley with HIS family.
He Was ,-ihe fh1St probate judge of Salt
Lake county and served continuously
in That capacity until 1882. about so
years During his service as probate
judge he administered Justice inn
partially and with the utmost salts
faction generally. In early days the
probate courts had almost unlimited
jurisdiction, ana it is recorded as an
historic fact in and cut of the Smith
family that he was one of the few
judges whose decisions were appealed
from to the supreme court of the
United States and were never reversed
by tjh0t high Tribunal.
His Journalistic career was brilliant
as we're his official and ecclesiastical
earrings. For L years he was as5o-
cidted with tho DeSeret News either as
editor or manager. He was one of
the earliest pos-maslters of Salt Lake
CITY, and IN addition he served the
people repeatedly in legislative Capa-
cities. To him more tl1an any other
person belongs the credit CT instituting
prise5 in the southwestern part of Salt
Lake ValleV
Elias Smith departed from this life
June q, 1888, but Ibis memory is
Teyered by all who knew him as an
honest, courageous, genial, charitable
man. His posterity cherish his name
as the embodiment of an that is love
and kindness. They are proud of their
ancestry and point to his life work as
tha,. of one of che creators noblemen.
whose deeds should be the guiding
star in all their hopes and energies.

Austin. Tex. Sept. 6.-State Health
Officer Swearingen today issued iron
clad quarantine against Ocean Springs,

Reports from the gulf coast are to the
effect that the inhabitants are badly

organizing their shotgun quarantine
force which patrolIed the gulf shore
some II years ago, to keep out all per
sons and thereby prevent the disease
from entering the state.

The Senator'S Striped Underwear.

A Western Senator who has al
ways been addicted to the habit of
wearing striped underwear had a
narrow escape recently on that very
account. The striped underwear
worn by the distinguished Senator
looked for all the world like pris-
oner's garb, but of course that as
pect of the case did not suggest
itself to the Senator. While en-
route to Washington last month,
after he had been reelected for an
other six years, the fact came to
him in striking way. 1t was on
a sleeping car at night. The car
pitched and threw him out of the
lower berth onto the floor, clad in
his striped underwear.
The lurch of the car startled
other folks, too. and two ladies on
the opposite side from the Senator
stuck their heads out to see what
the commotion was all about.
When they saw the Senator crawl
ing under cover, in his striped garb,
thinking he was an escaped convict,
they screamed and pandemonium
reigned. The porter was summoned,
waereupon the ladies commanded
him TO remove the "convict."
1t took all the "Senatorial cour-
tesy" the Senator could rake up to
prove an alibi, and he was finally
able to demonstrate who he was
but he has since abandoned the
idea of wearing striped underwear,
having reached the conclusion that
plain fannels without stripes are
much better and far safer.-Wash-

Wonderful Things that are Near.

The Philadelphia Press foreshad-
ows the coming of the millennium
as follows!
Flying is solved. The principle is
known. A mechanical expedient is
all that is now needed to make it
successful Practical flight is to-day
not more than five or ten years off.
A glow worm makes light with
about one three-hundredth part of
the force used in ordinary artificial
light. When men know how to make
light as cheap, streets and homes
will be as light as day for a mere
fraction of what light now costs.
This is near. Vacuum illumination
without incandescence is already in
full operation, and in year or two
should cut down the price of light
to a sixth of its current cost, and in
five or ten years light may be. like
water, turned on in every house at
will.
Compressed air, has long been
known to be the best way, theoreti-
cally, to store force for use in trans
portation. If this can be done, first
the trolley poles and wires will
come down, next the horseless, com
pressed air motor carriage will do
all the work Of city delivery.
When these come the only use
for gas will be for cooking-if this is
not done by electricity. Factories,
also, before many years, will be run
by transmitted electric power. This
has begun to be done and in five or
ten years will be completed, and
the factory fire and boiler will be a
thing of the past.
The city of the future, and no
very distant future, will have no
trolley poles or wires and no horses.
All movements will be on rail by
silent air motors or by horseless
carriages equally silent. All pave
ments will he asphalt. Unlimited
light will be as cheap as unlimited
water is to-day. No coal will be
delivered at private houses and no
ashes taken from them. With no
horses, no coal and no ashes, street
dust and dirt will be reduced to a
minimum. With no factory fires and
no kitchen or furnace fires, the air
will be as pure in the city as in the
country. Trees will have a chance !;
houses be warmed and lighted as
easily and cheaply as they are now
supplied with water.
A city will be pretty nice place
to live in when the first twenty years
OF the twentieth century are passed.

Best Cure for Chllblains.

"For chilblains, though it NAV
not be professional for me to say
so publicly" said physician, "the
best cure that | can now think OF
is snow. The snow can be applied
in any way, either by walking in
the snow barefooted, as | did as a
last resort, Or apply the snow to
the feet in a foot tub or otherwise
What is needed is to get good
quantity of snow directly to the
feet. My experience has been that
the feet should remain in contact
with the snow for at least five or
ten minutes. There is no danger
from catching cold if the snow foot
bath is used in warm room.
There are all kinds of remedies for
chilblains, of course, nearly all OF
them good, but snow is cure in
itself, not remedy. There may be
cases where it may fail, but l have
never experienced y."-Ex.

A water-tube Jail is one of the

is no longer necessary to make the
prison bars SO heavy and so hard
that cutting through them becomes

Should any of these pipes be sew
