The Great BattIeship oregon.

The trip of the Oregon around Cape
Horn. a distance of $4,000 miles, without
doing any particular damage to her
machinery, IS an achievement in which
we all take pride. 1t is like the man
or woman who reaches the ripe old age
of 100 years. Very few do it, but a
great many could if proper care be
taken of the health. At the first sign
of disorder in the stomach, liver or
blood, help should at once be secured
by taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
The stomach is the starting point Of
nearly every disease, and the Bitters
correct the ailments Of that importa Mt
organ. With the digestive organs in a
healthy state, the length of life is in
creased.

.Manti, July 6.-The board of commits
sioners of Sanpete county at their
meeting today fixed the rate of taxa
ton Tor the year 1898 at 915 mills Tor
county purposes and mills for county
school purposes.
The valuations of railroads and tele-
graph lines in Sanpete county for the
year 1898 as reported by the state board
of equalization are as follows:
Rio Grande Western railway $45T, 049
Sanpete Valley railway 1900. 112,6O1
Western Union Telegraph Co... 3,O11
Deseret Telegraph Comm. 7OS
Last year the state boards assess
ment on the same property was ma
tcrially different. 1t was as follows:
Rio Grande Western railway. .$4S6, 1853
Sanpete Valley railway ........ 1903
Western Union Telegraph Co.. SOL
Deseret Union Telegraph Co... lis
This makes reduction of over $685.,
900 on the Rio Grande Western. AS the

THE EIGHT JUROR LAW
BRINGS THE ROCK CASE TO A
SUDDEN TERMINATION.
Information Charging Burglary
Against Harry Casey and George
Harmon Dismissed-Plaintif Non
suited in Parsons VS.. Remington.

The case against Charles H. Rock
who has been on trial for two day!
on a charge Of fornication, alleged tc
have been committed with Florence H
| Hollingworth, on July %, 1895, came
to sudden termination yesterday
The prosecution closed its case or
Wednesday evening, and yesterday
morning the defense opened and be-
gan by Directing to the number OF
jurors impaneled in the case. Eight
Jurors were impaneled to try the case
but the offense was alleged to have
been committed in 1885, when L per-
sons constituted a, jury, and under the
ruling of the United States supreme
court, defendants are entitled to be
tried by the number of jurors cOnsti-
tuting a legal jury at the time the Of
fenses with which they are charged
are alleged to have been committed.
Judge Norreu sustained the objec-
ton and the case was continued for
the term.
There is a variance of opinion as to
whether Rock and parties similarly
situated can be tried by a jury of II,
seeing the state constitution provides
that eight persons shall constitute a
jury. If they cannot be tried by u
jurors, then there is no way of bring
ing those offenders to justice. II is
expected that some of the district
judges viii consent to have one of
the defendants in those peculiar
cases tried 10y a jury of y ana then an
appeal can be taken to the United

Non-suit In Parsons VS.. Remington.
The case of Arthur H. Parsons. re-
ceiver of the Driver Mercantile COM
pany, against w H. Remington was
on trial yesterday before Judge Cher
~. without a jury, with Judge NJ. l..
Richie representing the plaintiff and
Messrs- Krebs & HOppaugh for the de-
PENDANT.
In the complaint it is alleged that
on April Il, 1898, the plaintiff was ap-
pointed receiver of the Driver Mer-
camille company, and that on the same
date the property, amounting to about
$500, Of said company came into the
possession of Remington, who convert
ed it to his own use.
Plaintiff prayed that the defendant
be compelled to disclose the quantity
and value of the goods and to account
for the same and that the plaintiff
have judgment for the amount.
1t appeared that the Driver Mercan-
tile company assigned to W. H. Rem
ington, who took possession Of the
property and proceeded TO administer
the trust and distributed the money
realized among the creditors of the
Driver company, to the amount of
about $500, and the plaintiff now
sought to have judgment against Rem
ington for the amount so disposed Of.
Judge Cherry held that Remington.
as assignee, acted in good faith and
paid with the money genuine liabilities
of the assignOr and that he individu-
ally could not be held liable, even
though the assignment under which
he acted was subsequently declared
void.
Judgment for a non-suit was entered
on motion Of the defendants counsel.
