MISS MAMIE TAYLOR DEAD

LATE PRESIDENT TAYLOR.
Passed Away Last Night After a
Very Short Illness-Was Very
Popular Young Lady.

Miss Mamie Taylor. youngest daugh-
ter Of the late president John Taylor
and Margaret Young Taylor, died al
the family home shortly after 10 o'clock
last night.
The young lady was in her usual
health up to last Friday evening. when
she was taken suddenly i'll while at a
social in the Thirteenth ward. She was
conveyed to her home and grew stead
lily worse, the efforts of the physicians
attending being in vain. The trouble
was a complication of stomach and kid
ney disorders.
Miss Taylor was born in the Four
teenth ward or Dec. 6, 1873, and was,
therefore, 10 years of age. She was a
talented young lady, and her sweet
disposition made her a general favorite
with a wide circle of acquaintance.

appear in tomorrow's Herald.

sANPETE COMMISSIONERS.
County viii Continue to Remit the
Taxes of Indigents.

Manti. April 6.-At the regular April
session of the county commissioners a
communication from State Auditor
Richards, stating that the state would
not allow remittances of state taxes
made by the board OF commissioners,
was considered by the board, and they
unanimously agreed that until some
better authority for disseminating the
practice of renting the taxes of indi-
gents was brought to their attention,
the poor widows would continue to be
treated with the same consideration as
in the past.
The county fish and game wardens
presented communication from State
Warden Sharp, requesting that if San
pete county had not already made pro-
vision for closing some stream for the
propagation of fish, that they close the
upper tributaries of Fish creek, in the
northwest part Of the county. The
principal part of this stream is in Utah
and Carbon counties, and the warden
and commissioners declined TO act on
the suggestion. They will probably
close some stream that would benefit
the people of this county.
The board adopted a resolution fix
ing the salary of superintendent of
district schools at $500 a year.
County Attorney Reid and Sheriff
Judd left today to attend conference in
Salt Lake City.

ASTORIA GETS A RAILROAD.
At Last the Place Has Land Connec-
ton.

Astoria is at last connected with the
east by a railroad. A dispatch from
that place states that the last spike on
the Astoria & Columbia River road was
driven yesterday.
There may be more in this than at
first sight appears to be the case. 1t
has been contended by the people of
Astoria for a long time that the COM
pletion of q road to that place meant
the advancement of the city and the
consequent disadvantage to the city of
Portland as it would be cheaper for
vessels to discharge their cargoes at
Astoria than to pay towage up the
river.
But Astoria is a place which has
lacked life for some time. An effort
was made several years ago to connect
the town with the outside, but il failed.
after laying a few miles of rails. Since
then action has been often attempted,
but as often has success flown away,
until this time. But from all that can
be learned of the condition of affairs.
the town will be a good place for in
vestment for a while following the
opening of the new road.
