UTAH SHERIFF IN TOWN.
HE IS AFTER THE MEN WANTED
IN THAT STATE FOR MURDER.

~ ia - - n T. It OAN NJ IADEIl.
Sherif Joseph Judd, of Sante Pete
county, Utah, arrived here this morn
ing for the purpose OF identifying
James and Michael O'Brien, charged
with the murder Of Sheriff James Burns
at Spring City, on September 26.
1894.
On February 7 last both men were
arrested by Officer Maloney for dis
orderly conduct. and were fined by
Judge Ball s5 and costs each or forty
days. They took the latter.
Officer Lyons was at the depot when
the men went over and thought he had
seen photographs of them. He made
an investigation, and among the old
files Of the Hue and Cry" came across
pictures of the two men wanted for the
murder of Sheriff Burns on the above
date There being a reward for the ap-
prehension Of the murderers, he made
a further search. The pictures and de-
scriptons Of the murderers tailed ex-
actly with the prisoners, even to bull
let scar on the right side of O'Brien.
The sheriff, upon arriving in VIII
mington, went direct to the City Hall
and presented his papers, but refused
to see the prisoners until this after
noon. If they are the men wanted the
reward of $3.50 will be divided between
Officer Lyons and a private detective
whose name is not known.

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.

The spirit OF invention has gone
about as far, in recent years, in the i'm
provement OF agricultural implements
as in any other department of business
activity. Plows, mowers, reapers, root
diggers and the like OF modern intro
ducti0n have almost revolutionized
agricultural methods, though with them
all it is not true that farming is made
easy" At the same time It is seen that
these labor-saving machines and the
modern methods generally enable the
agriculturist to do far more work with
the same outlay of brain and muscle.
And new inventions are reported
every year. A recent number Of the
Engineering News contains a picture
Of steam rotary plow of fifty horse
power, in which the shares revolve
around its axis, and cut into the ground
to whatever depth may be desired. II
takes 275 pounds of coal an hour tc
run IL. In a day OF fourteen hours
twenty acres may be plowed by one OF
these machines, at a cost, where the
work is done on large scale, OF about
eighty cents an acre. The subsoil IL
not disturbed by this machine, and tn,
mold is deposited thoroughly loosene,
and in an inverted position. Thes,
plows are also designed to be driver
by petroleum vapor, one of twelvl
horse power, requiring one and hal
gallons Of petroleum per hour.
OF course such a plow cannot be use
to advantage on small farms. 1t is es
pecially adapted to the prairies an
valuable in cheapening the cost G
wheat and other grains called for in tn
worlds markets. The South, also, wi
some time do farming on a larger seal
than now.

chemist The law says that all Oleo-
margarine must bear a label, but that
confiscated was not so labeled. The fine

BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.

There has been a good deal said
about the transfer OF Northern capital
to the South, and its investment in
manufacturing industries there. This
has been going on for some time. and
we observe that the question is now
being discussed as to whether the cot
ton trade is making greater progress in
the South or in New England. The
mere fact that this matter is being con-
sidered seriously is suggestive OF the
advance that the South has OF late been
making in this direction.
The Atlanta Constitution takes issue
with the Boston Transcript on the con-
tention of the latter that the cotton
trade of New England is growing at a
much faster rate than the cotton trade
OF the Southern States. In support of
its claim that the Transcript is wrong,
the Constitution says that throughout
the entire Northeast there were only
1O0.0 200 spindles added to the various
cotton factories during the twelve
months ending September 1, 1896, while
in the South there were no less than
400 900 spindles added during the same
period Of time. The Constitution states
further that the takings of the South
ern cotton mills for the year aggre-
gated 10000 bales more than for the
year preceding, while the takings of
the Eastern cotton mills, including, of
course. those OF the New England
States, revealed shortage of 4S4O26
bales during the same period.
This is certainly a remarkable show
ing, and II correct, should set our urNorth-
ern people to thinking along new lines
1t is clear that the country is over
stocked with manufacturing establish
ments, so far as the home market is
concerned. Our mills and factories are
capable Of producing more goods than
we nan possibly use at home and vel
Congress is called upon to adopt legis.
lation for the encouragement and in,
crease OF manufacturing, and at tn,
same time tending to close all foreign
markets against their sale
However badly this may affect ou
general policy, the situation is accepte,
with complacency at the South, as wei
as the North. Says the Richmond Dis
patch: mot long ago we heard a goo,
deal about a movement Of Northern
milling capital Southwark, In order I,
be nearer the field of supply; and WI
are gold that this movement was ma
terlalizing TO a considerable extent
Every dollar of outside capital that 4
invested in Southern industrial enter
prises, and thus becomes the medium
of giving employment to labor, is o
benefit to the South, and should be wei
coined. Industrial enterprises at tn
South built up by Northern capital ar
infinitely better than no industrial en-
terprises at all. They become an ele
ment of Southern wealth and prosper
ity, and means of distributing money
for which we should be thankful" Thi
is all true enough, but the crisis vii
come when the supply is again foun
to exceed the demand and the condi
tions prevent our entrance to foreig
countries and competition with thei
home prices.

Of terpsichorean experts, but none of
them were superior and very few the
equal of Cecil Spooner, who aroused
great enthusiasm. Her kaleidoscope
dance, with variegated lights, was daz-

act drama, "A Woman's Devotion, ,"
was carefully acted and the strong
points were applauded. Chester De-

sweetly and acts with ease and effect
