OGDEN'S WATER CASE.
JOHN R. boutwell, EXAMINED
FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
Hearing VIII Be Resumed On Mon
day Morning, and Henceforth
Night Sessions Will Be Held I'm
til the Case Is Concluded.

The Ogden water case was on trial
until noon yesterday, at which time
court adjourned until Monday morning.
Next week night sessions of the court
will be held until the case is completed
The testimony will probably close on
Monday night. and the arguments are
expected 20 occupy about TWO days.
Ex-Mayor Kiesel was the first wit
ness called yesterday morning by the
defense. He testified that one of the
main introduction promises the Liberal
party made in 1889 was that the water
works and sewer systems of the city
of Ogden would be improved. The sys-
tenn of waterworks prior to then was
fairly good, but the people were ire
ouently without water to sprinkle their
lawns.
j. r.. Boutwell,, to whom the water
works system was leased and trans
ferred by the city originally, was called
bv the plaintiff Mr.. Boutwell,, who is
at present a resident of Boston, failed
to arrive before the plaintiff rested on
Friday. but by agreement he was called
at this time. He testified that when he
secured the lease and franchise he in
duced Jarvis & Conklin to take a
franchise interest in the Bear Lake q
River Waterworks & Irrigation com
pany, which was organized. Those
gentlemen, the witness said, had an
interest in the company aside from
their interest as stockholders in the
Jarvis-Conklin Mortgage Trust COM
pany.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Rogers:
&C. c. Richards, at your request, was
made a director in the company"
Yes" replied the witness.
And you were sorry for it after
wards?"
Yes, I certainly was"
The witness testified that he received
$500 and expenses from the city of Og-
den for coming from Boston to testify
in the case. That was for the trip he
made when the case was up in De-
cember last. For coming this time he
received his expenses only. He trav-
eled in first-class style and had all the
comforts which the railroads afforded
to travellers.
C. d. Tyree and Hiram Goodale, for
mer city employees, We're called for the
defense. They testified that the city
employees dug up some of the old pipe
in 1897 and used it at the city hall
square. Some of it was in good con-
dition and some of it was worthless.
Rudolph Craemer, who was employed
by the city under Mayor Kiesel's reg
lme, SAID ne saw men taking up the old
wooden pipes in 1890. after the system
was transferred to the new company.
He also saw some of the old pipe in
1897 at the residence of H. c. Ward
leigh, eX-preSident of the city council.
On cross-exanination the witness
said that in 1894 he saw employees of
the new company taking water boxes
and tees. out Of the old system.
John Pincock, formerly a member of
the city council, said that the city gave
permission to INDECENT persons in 1894
and 1895 to dig up some of the old pipes,
which were considered worthless.
Court then adjourned until Monday
morning.

The Arrival of the Millenium. s

The date of the advent of this happy
period has so often been fixed by
prophets of many creeds. and there has
been so many appointments, that a
grave doubt of its reality has gotten in
the minds even of the creduleus. But
those acquainted with the facts are
aware from personal observation and
experience that Hostetter's- Stomach
Bitters is an admirable means of pre-
venting and remedying kidney and
bladder complaints. Liver and ma
iarial trouble, constipation, sick head
ache. nervousness and nausea are all
overcome by this beneficent regulator
and tonic. When appetite is impaired
and sleep broken or unrefreshing, a
wineglassful shortly before meals and
before retiring will do much to remed.

MORALITY.

We cannot kindle when we will
The fire which in the heart resides;
The spirit bloweth and is still.
In mystery our soul abides.
Can be through hours of gloom full
flrd.
With aching hands and bleeding feet
We dip and heap, lay stone on stone
We bear the burden and the heat
OF the long day, and wish twere done
Not till the hours of light return,
All we have built do we discern.
When thou dost bask in Natures eye
Ask, how she viewed thy self-control,
Thy struggling, task'd morality
Naturefi whose frea, light, cheerful air
Oft made thee, in thy gloom, despair
And she. whose censure thou dost dread,
Whose eye thou vast afraid to seek,
See. on her face a glow is spread.
A strong emotion on her cheek
All, childi' she cries, that strife di
vine,
Whence was it, for it is not mine?
There is no effort on my brow
I do not strive, l do not weep;
I rush with the swift spheres and glow
In joy. and when I will l sleep.
Yet that severe, that earnest air,
/ saw, l felt it once-but where?
II knew not yet the gauge of time.
Nor wore the manacles of space;
l felt it in some other cline
| saw it in some other place.
Twas in the heavenly house I trod,
And lay upon the breast of God"

PROMOTIONS FOR,GAIJ.ANTRY.

PROMOTIONS FOR,GALLANTRY.
Mr. Lacey Rep., Ia offered an
amendment, providing that during
time of actual war, promotions for gall
lantry in the field may be made for
any vacancies in any grade in the army
without examination and without re-
gard to seniority"
Mr.. Lacey made a speech in support
of his amendment. which aroused en-
thusiastic approval. The provisions OF
the bill, he said. would make promo
tons depend upon seniority and tech
meal SKILL Such officers as Custer and
Sheridan, if the war should develop
such, would be handicapped. Fighting
ability should be rewarded. not ability
to pass examinations Mr. Lacey's
statement that General Forrest, one of
the most dashing confederate officers,
could hardly read and write, brought
a storm of protests from the cOnfeder-
ate veterans.
Mr.. Handy (Dem., DELI supported the
amendment. Mr.. Handy offered an
amendment to the amendment, provid-
ing that the president shall be author
lied to promote enlisted men to the
rank of second lieutenants for gallant
ry in action.
Mr.. Savers (Dem., Tex vigorously
opposed both amendments. He declared
that, if adopted, they would open the
way for favoritism and the exercise Of
political influence.
Both amendments were voted down
without division. Then, at 1855 a. m.
without completing the consideration Of
the bill, the house took a recess to at
tend the funeral of Senator Walthall.
THIS WAS DEFEATED.
The house reconvened after Senator
Walthalls funeral at 1880 D. m, and
resumed the consideration of the army
reorganization. bill.
Mr.. Settle Dem., Ky.) offered an
amendment, providing that the pro-
vision authorizing the president to ac-
cept quotas of troops Of the states as
organized under the laws of such
states, shall not take away from the
governors of the respective states their
rights to determine how the quota Of
the states may be furnished, whether
from the organized militia or volun-
teers."
The amendment was defeated. An
amendment offered by Mr. Bailey was
adopted. which provided that the army.
at the end of the war, should be re-
duced to peace basis by the transfer
in the same arm of the service, or hon
orable discharge, under such regula-
tons as the secretary of war may es-
tablish, of supernumerary commits
stoned officers and men.
DEMOCRATIC AMENDMENT.
The amendment removed practically
all the Democratic opposition to the
bill. Mr.. King (Dem., Utah) offered
an amendment, which was rejected,
which provided that the act should ex-
pire by limitation at the end of two
years. Without further amendment the
bill was passed without division.
The remainder of the day after 2
o'clock was devoted to eulogies on the
life and public services of the late Sen
ator Earle of South Carolina, and. as
further mark of respect, the house, at
AS p. m, adjourned.

Grain Rates Demoralized.

Chicago, April 23.-Not in years has
there been such a state of demOraliza-
ton in eastern grain rates as prevails
at the present time. Plenty of grain
is being taken from Chicago to New
York at 10c, and it is said that con-
tracts have been made at lower figures
than this. The truth of this last state
ment cannot be substantiated, how
ever. There is not much in the traffic
of the roads at 10 cents, and they are
not likely to go under that rate if they
can avoid doing so.
