BANKER STOUT SHOT.
charges Cashier Addison b. Jones with
The Crime.

Salt Lake City, Dec. 10.-Joseph NJ.
Stout, ex-president of the Utah Ma
tional bank, and one of the most prom
lnent business men of the city, received
pistol shot wound in his breast at
$50 last night while on Fifth South
street, near Main. while walking west
to his residence at the corner of Main
and Fifth South,
He did not fall from the wound, but
was able to walk to his home, where
be is lying in a serious condition, but
probably is not fatally wounded.
The first theory advanced was that
it was case of attempted suicide, but
this was rather discredited, because no
weapon was found near the place. Mr..
Stout, however, first said he knew
who fred the shot, and then declared
he did not recognize the party. This
was the first stumbling block in get
ting definite theory to work upon.
Then Mr.. Stoutt's weapon was produced
with at least one freshly exploded
shell. Explaining this, the banker
said that after he was wounded, he
drew his own pistol and fired two shots
at the assassin. That was sufficient
explanation until two boys who were
near by at the time came forward with
the positive statement that only one
shot was fired.
With all these conflicting statements
the police were confronted, and are of
course. working somewhat in the dark.
The bullet entered three and one
half inches below the left nipple and
passed under the muscular tissue,
lodging, it is thought, in the center OF
much in its course either upward or
downward. He complained of pain
in his back, but the physician express
ed decided opinion that the bullet is
not lodged there, although no probing
has been resorted to. From the feel
ing in the abdomen, the bullet APP
peared to be 3s-calibre. The flesh
about the wound was badly burned
from the powder.
1t is singular circumstance that A.
B. Jones, cashier of the Utah National
bank, and with whom Mr.. Stout has
been most closely connected in bust
ness for many years, is charged by the
victim of the affair with having done
the shooting.

WESTERN CANADA PRAIRIEs.
Failure Welfare of the Continent Lies In
Their Fertile Fields.

The rapid progress that is being
made in the settlement of the fertile
prairies of Western Canada is leading
to the investigation of its resources by
those interested in having provision
made for those living in the crowded
east, for those who have been strug-
Cling for years on impoverished farms,
for the renter who is unable any longer
to bear up under the strain imposed by
the landlord, and for the farmer who,
unable to purchase farms for his sons
In his own neighborhood, has to look
around for lower priced lands. The
investigation shows that it Is impos-
sible to meet these conditions success
fully outside of Western Canada AL
ready millions of bushels of wheat are
being grown there each year, while az
many as $4,000 head of cattle were
shipped out this year. A representa-
tive Of The Germania Milwaukee, one
of the leading German papers in the
United States, recently made a trip
through Manitoba, Assiniboia, Alberta

Cubans were wounded in an ARRAY be-
tween some Spanish officers off duty

death spread through Havana, the
ubans wished to have all the places
of amusement closed They succeeded
Cubans, but the management of the
Tacon theatre, where there were MANY
Spanish officers among the audience,
refused to close the house. Thereupon
Allegrette, former captain of Cuban
troops, got into an excited argument
with the manager of the theatre, and
was escorted to the sidewalk by the
police on duty. There Allegrette en-
tered into heated discussion with
Spanish officer who struck him across

WAR TAX CHANGES.
Commissioner Scott Wants the Law Made
More Explicit.

Washington, Dec. 1O.-Commissioner
Scott advises that the clauses provid-
for the stamping of telegraph dispatch
es and receipts or bills of lading for
freight and express packages to be so
amended as to make it definite and GER
tain who shall affix and pay for the
stamp.
The removal of the stamp tax on
mortgages is recommended, inasmuch
as there is stamp tax on promissory
notes, and the taxing Of mortgages
given to secure such notes results in
double taxation, falling on the debtor
class.
The commissioner also urges that If
brokers pay the special tax required
under the law, they should be relieved
of the stamp tax under the head of
contracts" which is tax on all notes
or memorandum of sale by brokers.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 13.-For four days

CHARACTER IN WALKING.

Quick steps are indicative OF energy
and agitation.
Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise.
curiosity, discretion, or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with
pre-occupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented ~
STOPPING, noiseless. with short. nerv-
ous, anxious steps.
Slow steps. whether long or short,
suggest 4 gentle or reflective state Of
mind. as the case may be.
Where a rsvengeful purpose Is hid
den under a feigned smile the step will
be sinking and noiseless.
The proud step is slow and meas
ured; the toes are conspicuously turn
ed out; the legs Strengthened.
The direction of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
Of the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tainty. hesitation and indecision.
Obstinate people, who in argument
rely more on muscularity than on In
tellectual power, rest the feet natly and
firmly on the ground, walk heavily and
slowly, and stand with the legs firmly
planted and far apart.

Regulars Being Ordered to Manila FOL
That Purpose.
Washington, Dec. 13.-The war de-
partment has began in earnest the re-
lief of the volunteer troops now sta
toned at Manila by regulars. Secre-
tary Alger yesterday signed an order
designating for this purpose six regi-
ments of United States infantry out of
the eight held in reserve for service in
tropical countries. The regiments are
the Twentieth, at Fort worth,
Kan; the Third, at Fort Smelling,
Mimi, the Twelfth, at Jefferson Bar
racks, Mo-, and Fort Riley, Kan; the
Seventh, at Columbus, o.; the Fourth,
at Fort Sheridan, and the Twenty
second, at Fort Crook, Neb. They
will go forward to Manila as soon as
the transportation can be provided.
1t may be that the two regiments
still held in reserve, the Twenty
fourth and the Twenty-ffth infantry,
will join the Others before they sail.
These regiments were selected in the
reverse ratio to the loss sustained by
them in the Cuban campaign.
The volunteers in Manila will be re-
tired in the order in which they reached
that city.

ANIMALS AND WATER.
What Do Polar Creatures Drink?-
Water in the Deserts.

What Do Polar Creatures Drink g.
Wstcr ia the Deserts.
Tame rabbits are commonly kept
without water, but they may be seen
licking the bars of their hutch after
shower and drink eagerly when they
have the chance. Most other rodents,
including rats, are thirsty creatures.
The only animals living in very dry
places which seem able to do entirely
without drink are snakes and reptiles
Ia the cold desert of shifting sand in
Kashgar there were no reptiles, and not
even a fly. But the Afghan boundary
commission found swarms of lizards
and a new and venomous species OF
adder in astonishing numbers in the
awful desert of hot, shifting sand at
the corner where Persia, Beluchistan
and Afghanistan meet. We must note
one exception, the giraffe, which Mr..
Dryden believes exists for three-quar-
ters of the year in the North Kalahari
without water. But this cannot be
proved until the desert has been ex-
plorcd and the total absence of water
confirmed. There is known to be water
beneath the surface, and if the giraffe
does live waterless he must imbibe his
liquid nutriment at second hand in the
juices of the leaves CT the tree, which
have their roots in the moisture.
Seals do not apparently drink; neith-
er do cormorants and penguins, but
there can be little more evaporation
from their bodies than those of fish
and their food is wet and moist. A
more difficult question is that Of the
water supply of arctic animals in win
ter Possibly they eat snow. There is
abundant evidence that. though many
animals can exist without water for
long periods, this abstinence is not vol
untary and when unduly protracted
causes suffering and loss of health

sleight of Hand for the Pastor.

Many years ago, when Hon. Joseph
Marsden lived in Hawaii, he attended
church on Sunday morning in Hilo.
Mr. Marsden was then noted for his skill
in legerdemain. When DR.. - passed
around the contribution bag at a Sun
day service Mr.. Marsden held up n
ten-dollar gold piece between his thumb
and forefnger so that DR.. - could
plainly see it. He then placed his hand
over the bag, palmed the gold piece,
and dropped in silver quarter. DR..
returned to the table with his col
lection. After the service he cInptied
the bag on a table, but could not find
the ten-dollar gold piece. He shook the
bag repeatedly, turned over the small
pile OF contributions, got down on the
floor and looked under the table, walked
down the aisle, looking closely at the
cracks in the floor, felt in his own
pockets, fearing that he had made some
and then went homo wonder
ing at the strange loss of the gold piece.
Some time afterward the deceiver quiet
ly sent the gold piece to the church

Honesty I'm the Empkxe CITY.

The proprietor of one of Manhattan's
most fashionable hostelries ordered
$4,000 worth of table silverware the
other day. When the goods were de-
livered he refused to take them at any
price, as tie name of the hotel had
been stamped upon them. He explained
his strange action by saying that people
often dine at the house only to take
away knives, forks and spoons as
souvenirs. "If the name of the hotel is
not on them," he said. "they leave them
alone, for their only reason in dining
here is to steal these stamped goods
and show them to their friends to prove
that they are in the habit of patronizing
fashionable hostclries."
