Change in Police Department.

Mayor Pfau said that he was fully
convinced that a change must be
made in the police department. There
must be a night captain to keep track
of where the policemen are. 1t was
suggested that the two extra paid
firemen which had been asked for
could assist in police work to some ex-
tent. He would like this considered
at some time with the other matter.
Aid. Bradley asked whether the
charter allows the mayor to make
more appointments.
Mayor Pau said that he did not in
tend to make any changes. The

The following was the class song:
Our lessons now are over,
Our parting songs been sung.
And still our work. my classmates,
Is not finished, but begun.
Our work here has been pleasant,
Our tasks have been we'll done;
And yet, they are not completed,
Not finished. but begun.
Though our tasks here now are over,
And our lessons here are done,
Still our school days are not ended,
Not finished, but begun.
By hard and patient toiling,
Our diplomas we have won;
And they remind us that our studies,
Are not finished, but begun,
Though no glimpses of the future,
Tonight to us can come;
We know our labor is not ended,
Not finished, but begun.
IT'S by ever pressing onward,
That all success is won;
And may our success, my classmates,
Be not finished, but begun.
We've completed just one lesson,
Only one, but that well done:
The whole is not yet ended,
Not finished, but begun.
Our lives will be what we make them,
Every honor may be won,
If this ever be our motto,
Not finished, but begun.
When our lives on earth are over,
And orr earthly lesson done,
May we hear from Christ the message,
Not finished, but begun.

B. P. w. Turned Down.

The board of public works reported
that it had decided to charge the
sprinkling contractors $1,000 a year
for water used. and submitted rule
to carry this into effect.
Aid. Fowler said that this would in
crease the sprinkling assessment, and
that it was no more than right that
the city at large should stand part
of the expense of sprinkling.
President Burgess said that the
street sprinklers last year used 1S, 00O,-
600 gallons of water, footing up 5000,
and there is besides the expense Of
maintaining stand pipes, etc. The
tax on property will not be increased
greatly. AS believer in municipal
ownership, he would like to see the
water charged for to make the in
come greater.

Case of Lawler Against Jennings

ARTHUR PRATT'S CASE TO COME

Cyrene Hanson Brings Suit Against
Stephen Hanson For Divorce -
Allan Hilton's Will - Federal
Court at ogden-orders By Judge
Marshall Yesterday.

Judge Hiles was occupied for the
greater part of yesterday afternoon in
the trial of the case of William B.
LAWYER against Isaac Jennings ct al.
LAWYER sued to recover a balance of
81, 600 alleged to be due on a promissory
note secured by a mortgage. The de-
PENDANTS deny that they owed any
thing on the note and alleged that they
overpaid to the amount of s., 29S64 and
ask for judgment for that amount
against Lawler.
They aliege that the note was given
as part OF the purchase price, O,0Jo,
of the GriZzley mine in Nevada, owned
by Lawler, and they say that LAWYER
fraudulently represented that there
was a large amount of valuable ore in
the mine which could be reached by
making a tunnel below the old work
ings, while as q matter of fact LAWYER
had removed said ore, and after the
defendants made the discovery Lawler
agreed, so the defendants claim, that
if Jennings would pay $1,277 upon the
note, the balance could be paid from
the profits of the mine. The mine,
however. was worked at a loss, and it is
alleged Lawler was overpaid to the
amount of $1,29S.e4.
Messrs. Marshall, Royle & Hemp
stead represented the plaintiff and
Messrs. Booth, Lee & Gray were for
the defendants The trial was in
progress when adjourning time came
and further hearing of the case went
over until Monday.

inquiry was very keen for news TO ac-

and in its absence numerous rumors were
set afloat, one TO the effect that pur-
