Washington the soldier was entirely
another being from Washington the

ty purpose drew out the reverence of the
American people. He Was the gentle

the rough side of life. Like one of the

the high command to respect men for
manhood alone, for physical strength
and courage, for loyalty and endurance.

LAW SCHOOL FOR UTAH.
PUBLIC MEETING HELD AT THE
TEMPLEToN LAST EVENING.
Paper by Professor Whitley and Ad-
dresses Of Encouragement by
Hons. r. N. Baskin, Frank Pierce
and Moses Thatcher.

Upon the invitation of Professor
Whitley a public meeting was held
last evening in the Tempieton lecture
hall for the purpose of giving aid and
encouragement to the effort that is be-
ing made to establish an efficient law
school for the state of Utah.
The meeting was presided over by
DR.. Whiteley, who, after a few intro
ductory remarks, read a very able pa
per, setting forth the nature of the in
stitution and the manner in which it
was conducted. The doctor also summed
up in a general way the wonderful ad-
vancement and progress of the present
century, including the advancement
made in thu science of law. The paper
was thoroughly well received, and
sounded the keynote for the evening.
DR.. Whitley was followed by ex-
Mayor Baskin, who spoke enthusiast
caliy in support of the movement. AS
an old student of Harvard, he realized
the worth of an institution of law, and
strongly favored the establishing OF
such here at home.
The Judge concluded by congratulate
ing DR.. whitley on the success which
has already attended his enterprise, and
making a very substantial donation to
the school library.
Attorney Frank Pierce was present
and testified to the ability of DR.. White
lev. and heartily endorsed the move
ment. AS one of the regents of the
University Of Utah he would like to see
the school made a part of our state in
stitution, and was willing to give it
every announcement and help within
his power The gentleman spoke at
some length of the need of such a
school here in this city. and was pre-
pared to say that the members of the
bar of this state were in hearty ac-
cord with the scheme and willing to
give of their talents that which is
needed to make it a success.
Hon. Moses Thatcher followed Mr.
Pierce. and made a most eloquent adj
dress in support of the new enterprise.
He. with Mr.. Pierce. felt that the
school should be made a branch of the
University of Utah, and though quite
early as yet to advance the question, he
hoped a speedy success for the law
school. and a welcome into the state
university, when the time was oppor-
time. Not to be outdone by the liberal
Gentleman first to donate TO the insti-
made n. very handsome donation.
Regrets were read from prominent
members of the bar and educators, all
of which expressed approval of the
movement
The following are a few expressions
of encourag cement given to the school

favor because 1T fills a long-felt

THE MINING CONGRESS,
LOCAL COMMITTEES ARE NOW
ACTIVELY AT WORK.
Secretary johnson Laboring With
Energy and Enthusiasm-Kept
Busy Answering Correspondence.

The local committees of the Interna-
uonal Mining Congress, to be held in
July, are working energeticalIy in max
ing preparations for the big gather
ing, and Secretary W. D. Johnson OF
the local executive committee is kept
busy answering and sending out a
flood of correspondence.
Several encouraging letters have been
received from prominent men in various
parts of the United States A letter
from Professor Samuel Calvin, director
of the state geological survey, and a
member of the general executive COM
mittee, states that he is doing all in
his power TO awaken the interest of the
people of his state in the forthcom-
ing congress. A letter from Governor
Alva Adams of Colorado is in a similar
strain, and expresses his hearty accord
in the purpose of the congress.
The work, says Secretary Johnson. is
going on in other states as well, and for
several weeks Irwin Mahon has been
in the east, making his headquarters
for the most part at Pittsburg He has
so stirred up interest there that the
Pittsburg Coal Exchange and chamber
of commerce are taking steps to be
represented at the congress, and will
make efforts to secure the congress for
Pittsburg in 1899.
1t is learned at headquarters that
California will not be represented at the
Omaha exposition, and this is looked
upon at headquarters as an additional
incentive for that state to make a good
showing al the mining congress.
Il find" said Secretary Johnson last
night, that the real purposes of this
organization and the opportunities it
affords are not properly understood or
appreciated here, generally speaking.
and our greatest task at present is that
of educating the people here and prov
ing to them that this is the greatest
possible chance TO show the world our
resources and induce the investment of
capital The work of the congress
should appeal to the public spirit of
every man in Utah. If we are able to
carry out our present plans there will
no doubt be 1000 people here, and of
these a large number will be seeking
investment for their surplus money.
This touches the pockets of the people
here, and it rests with them to make
the most of it.
What we want is to make Utah a
household word throughout the coun-
try, and to show the visitors the tempt
atoms our state affords for invest
ments."

MRS. ANDERsoN's PLANT.
Alleges Her Husband Treated Her
With Gross Cruelty.

Jennette Anderson has entered suit in
the Third district court for divorce
from Robert r. Anderson, on the
grounds of cruelty and failure TO sup
port. In the complaint it is alleged
that the parties intermarried in Salt
Lake City on December q, 1887, and
that the parties resided at 1913 Fifth
street There are three children of the
marriage, ranging in ages from s years
to l year.
Mrs. Anderson alleges that shortly
after the marriage her husband COM
menced a course of cruel treatment to-
wards her and has kept it up ever
since. She says he called her the most
vile names and was constantly finding
fault and quarreling with her about
trivial affairs. When she was in deli
cate condition, Mrs. Anderson alleges
that his treatment Of her was most
brutal.
1t is also alleged that the defendant
failed to support her and the family,
only giving her 50 to 81 a week to pro-
vide food for the entire family, includ-
ing the defendant, and to keep the
children and herself in clothes.
The defendant, it is alleged, is part
ner in the plumbing firm of the Hig-
son, Anderson & ROssiter company,
and has a good income, and is worth,
in addition, about $4,000.
The plaintiff prays for a decree of
divorce, the custody of the children.
and such a sum of alimony as to the
court may seem just. She also prays
that during the tendency of the suit
the defendant be restrained from dis
posing of his property.

MRS. PENDLEToN WINS.
Entitled to Receive the Deed to the
Property.

Another decision rendered by Judge
HiIes was in the case OF Rena G. Pen
dleton VS.. the Eastern Building & Loan
association of Syracuse, n. Y. His
honor found the issues for the plain
tiff
The plaintiff alleged that she bought
certain premises from r. B. Price and
Julia L. Price, his wife, subject to a
trust deed of the defendant company
for s.. III. 9S and that she paid the full
amount of the same, but the defendant
refused to release the deed and convey
the premises to her. She asked that they
be required to cancel the trust deed and
make the conveyance to her of the
premises. She also prays for 500 dam
ages and $3.50 attorneys fees
The defendant alleged that Price OBJ
tanned the loan on the trust deed on
the building and loan plan; that he
became a member of the association,
and agreed to abide by the bylaws
governing the association, by which he
was to pay interest and fines in case
of default Fines and interest to the
amount of S372.17 were owing and
chargeable as a lien on the premises.
This sum has not been paid, and the
defendant refused to release the trust
deed.

Another day has faded and still
there is no nomination for the office OF
district attorney for the state of Utah.
What does it all mean?
Crowds thronged the bulletin boards
yesterday, waiting TO get the news, but
they were disappointed. Every time
the office boy would appear on the out
side with something, every head was
raised, every neck craned in expec-
fancy. 1T is coming at last" would
be the expression, and faint cheer
would go up for Whittemore, which
would be drowned in murmur of dis
gust as something concerning the
movement of a couple Of jim crow bat
teries of artillery from Fort Riley,
Kan, to New Orleans was announced
or the rumored purchase of pair OF
two of battleships was posted up.
What ais Mckinley" remarked
one well-known citizen. What does
he want to go off jimmying with
Spain for, when he can appoint Whit
temore to this place? He is a failure
as a president, in my estimation. Dc
you suppose any of the great men who
have filled the chair in the days gone
by would overlook any such an oppor-
tunity as this2 What does he want
to monkey with Spain for and leave
Utah without Whittemore in the office
of United States attorney? oh, for an
hour of Jackson, or Jefferson, or Lin
coin. They were men who would not
have permitted this business to drag
as it is dragging. Not by any means,
1 believe we should rise up and pro-
test. Buying warships, indeed, and
Whittemore not in office. It's cruel,
cruel"
1t is presumed that the waiting pub
lie will be informed this morning from
Washington that something has hap
pened. The statement that the presi-
dent has decided to make the selection
not later than Wednesday, will doubt
less appear in cold type for the final
time in the personal newspaper of the
aspirant.
Something will have to be done, and
that soon, to relieve the suspense
which is prevailing at this time, be-
cause the people cannot stand it much
longer. If Mckinley doesn't drop this
Spanish matter for a short TIME and
give Whittemore a chance, there viii
be protest so up from Utah which
will make things hum.

PREPARING AN ADDRESS.
Silver Republicans Will Harangue
the People In Print.

The committee of the independent
Republicans are getting UP a procla-
nation, which will be published in due
form very soon, in which the people
will be asked to assemble under the
independent banner and fight the COM
mon foe to a finish.
Chairman Joe Lippman is engaged in
preparing the manuscript, the gram
mar being supplied, in part, by no less
distinguished a person than eX-Con-
gresham c. e. Allen. The manifesto,
ukase, address, pronunciamento, bull,
or whatever it may be designated, be-
gins something like the following:
Fellow Citizens: Forty centuries
look down upon you from the tower
ing peaks of the Wasatch, Uintah,
INN and other mountaln ranees.
They appeal to you to arise and de-
stroy the common invader who seeks
to restore the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver without the aid and con-
sent of any other nation, party. or ag-
gregation In this movement to secure
the coinage of the money of the con-
stitution they have omitted to say any
thing about wool or the tariff on filed
cheese. We demand that all these
shall be included. and if free silver is
to be had, let US have tariff with il,
and if not with tariff then no free sill
yer goes. They have incidentally
omitted to say that Frank j. Cannon
should be elected to the senate once
more. Therefore, be it resolved, etc.
This viii be printed and distributed.
