A DIXIE PATRIARCH.
Seventy-two Descendants Celebrated
George Jarvis Birthday.

ST George. March 31.-The family
and relatives of George Jarvis gathered
at his residence on the evening of the
25th to celebrate his seventy-fifth birth
day and do homage to one Of DiXie's
hOnored pioneers. Father Jarvis and
his wife. Ann Prior Jarvis, who, at the
age of IS. is still a law unto her poster
ity, stand at the head of a remarkable
family, being honored by their children,
their children's children, and their
children's children's children. Out of a
family Of IL, nine sons and daughters
are living, and 81 grandchildren are
living out of a total of T5,' besides two
living great grandchildren. making
total of y living members who can rise
up in the flesh and call the old patri-
arch blessed.
George Jarvis was a seafaring man,
serving IA years before the mast, in
the merchant marine, and four years
in the British navy as a man-of-wars-
man. He gave up the sea and came to
Boston in 1851. and from there came
to Salt Lake City in 1860, and to Dixie
in 1861. He bears the distinction OF
being the first man to locate on the
townsite of st. George. His declining
years are made glad in the knowledge
that of all his large family. none are
drinkers. smokers or profaners, and the
finger Of suspicion is yet to be pointed
a [ the first one. Both he and his wife
are IN full possession of all their fac
ulties. and are enjoying a happy and
a green old age.

EXPENSIVE EXERCISE.
An Experience That Shows That Rid
ing Is Cheaper Than Walking.

New Haven Register: He was sit
tins at a table. talking to a party of
friends. We'll, I've tried everything. y
he was saying, but what is the use Of
worrying about these things? Some
men are fat, some are lean. l tell you
it can't be helped-we're built that

listener. do you walk much?"
Tried everything, l tell you. But,
by the way, that reminds me of an
experience l had one time. l was dis
cussing the subject one evening with
my wife. She said: Jim. you ought
to walk more. ] think walking would
do you good; and. besides. look at the
money you'd save-20 cents a day. S1.2O
a week and $3.50 a month. Just think
what you'd save in a year,

that way. I guess I'll try it

glad to see me, and also said, Come in

Il went. Inside were a party of gen
tlemen whom we both knew, and we all
of us had something. We chatteJ and
talked awhile, had a smoke, talked an
other while, and had something more.
Looking at my watch, 1 realized it was
past my supper time. My humor was
in excellent mood, and 1 invited the
boys to come up town with me and
have good supper. We had lots of fun
at supper time. Some one even sug-
sested that we go to the theatre. OF
course, we went. After the show we
had something more to eat and drink.
We also had a few smokes.
''Oh, I had a good time. l walked
enough that night, 1 tell you. Didn't

about l o'clock. My wife, astonished
at the unusual hour of my arrival,

POLICE DEPARTMENT.
Much Speculation as to What Will
Be Done.

The status of the police department
of Ogden is a matter of much more
conjecture since the opinion rendered
by the city attorney became public.
Things were moving along smoothly
until the Pratt decision came, which
has thrown officers and men alike into
a general state of uncertainty as to
who are entitled to positions. Mayor
Boyle's appointees are in office. If
they are to be ousted. who is to take
the initiative? Some of the old en-
ployees are, it is said, anxious for their
old positions back, but others do not
desire to go back on the force.
George F. Burton is now serving in
place of James Sprunt. suspended; d.
o. Sullivan is employed at a better job
by the Pullman company; Captain Sill
vey in mining at his Copper King in
Cache county.
Doubtless some action or recon-
mendation will be taken tonight at the
council. but whatever is done, it is not
thought likely the present incumbents
will give up their places unless com
PEELED TO do so, and it is argued that
only the supreme court can compel
them to do so, and the supreme court
may not agree with Mr.. Allison on the
matter.

TEMPERANCE AT MT. PLEASANT.
Ordinances Protecting Minors From
Whisky and Tobacco.

Mt. Pleasant, April 3.-The city coun-
ell made another advance along tenn
perance lines last night by adopting an
ordinance which provides that any
minor found in any saloon in Mt.
Pleasant shall be guilty of INSIDE
meanor and liable TO a fine or impris-
onment. Heretofore the proprietor of
the saloon was the only person liable
in such a case and as that system was
unsatisfactory the ordinance as
above stated was passed. Several ar
rests have been made under the sys-
tenn formerly in vogue. but convictions
were impossible An ordinance was
also introduced and referred to a COM
mittee, which is very similar in its
provisions to the ones recently forTnu-
lated at Logan and Richfield, and
which places an almost prohibitory re-
strictiOn around the retail liquor traf-
fic. Judging from expressions of the
members of the council, this ordinance.
in a slightly modified form, will pass.
A third ordinance, prohibiting the sale
OF giving of tobacco or any narcotics
to minors, and also making it mis-
demeanor for a minor tc use the same
in any form except for medicinal pur-
poses, was adopted.
