TALKS OF COMMITTEE.
Judge King Tells Who Roberts
Judges Are.

Judge ". II. King was asked last
evening as TO the personnel of the
committee appointed by Speaker Hen
derson to investigate the case of 3. H.
Roberts. Some of the men are We'll
known TO me- he said, from close as
ISOLATION with them; others have en-
tered congress since my term expired
and are comparatively unknown to me.
Tayler. the chairman of the committee,
represents Mckinleys old district in
Ohio. He is venomous in his dislikes,
very bigoted and a narrow partisan.
Pretty much the same may be said
of Lands of Indiana. Morris is from
the Duluth district in Minnesota He
is the man who beat Towne for re-elec-
ton. / consider him a very fair man.
Freer of West Virginia is a new man
and / know but little of him. Little
field is the successor of Dingley from
Maine and is a fair-minded man. Nc
Pherson of Iowa is a new man TO me.
DE Almond of Missouri is one of the
strong men of the houSe-a man OF
broad mind and much experience in
national affairs. Lanham OF Texas and
Meyers of Indiana are both good men
and will be influenced largely by a
sense of right"
The first six named in the above list
are Republicans; the other three are
Democrats. 1t is worthy of note that
in making up this committee Speaker
Henderson ignored the thirty congress
men who voted in favor of giving Rob
erts his seat pending the investigation
of the committee.

to direct your attention to section 262o.

county treasurer to publish the de-

the names of the owners, when known.
and description of the property de-
linquent, classified in towns end cities
by addition, subdivision, plat, block
and lot; and other lands by range,
township and section or other legal
subdivision thereof, with the amount
of taxes due, exclusive of costs
it clearly appears that it was the inten-
ton of the legislature to require the
treasurer TO collect fee of 25 cents for
each separate piece of property adj

LEIGH R. BROWN IS DEAD
SUMMONS CAME TO HIM LAST
EVENING.
Death Resulted From Tuberculosis
Large Circle of Friends.

The hosts of friends of Leigh R.
Brown will grieve over the announce
ment of his death, which occurred last
night at his nome in this city. For a
long time he has been a patient, uncom-
planning sufferer from the ravages Of
tuberculosis. But death claimed him
when his family and friends can least
resign themselves TO his fate.
Leigh Brown came to Salt Lake
from st. Louis eleven years ago to en-
ter the employ of the Commercial Ma
tional bank as paying teller. He filled
the position with signal satisfaction
until his failing health compelled him
to seek a less confirming vocation. A
residence in San Francisco brought no
relief, and latterly he engaged with
the Consolidated Implement company
at Idaho Falls. About two months ago
he returned to Salt Lake TO die.
The deceased married Miss Nellie
Clawson about eight years ago. The
young widow and two children survive
the beloved husband and father. Mrs.
Fred W. Scarf is a sister of the de-
ceased.
The time and place of the obsequies
viii be announced as soon as word is re-
ceived from a brother who is now in
Chicago.

Should B. II. Roberts be deprived Of
his seat in congress, which now seems
not unlikely, there will be a contest
for the vacant seat that will be de-
cidedly interesting. Already Secretary
of State James T. Hammond has many
pegs set, and the impression is wide
spread that if ne can get the consent
OF Colonel Lannan, he will have no diff
1iculty in securing the Republican
nomination.
George Sutherland has many Repub-
lican friends who have been grooming
him for congress for some years past,
and they will make a hard pull for ms
nomination Lindsay r. Rogers, the
member of the Republican national
committee, IS being pushed in certain
quarters. He has the advantage OF
having been a pioneer gold standard
advocate and is a Shrewd politician
Dennis C. Eichnor is also mentioned by
some who fell under obligations to him
for work done in the last campaigns.
He also was in advance of his party
on the gold standard proposition
The interest in this matter is by no
means confined to Republicans. Al
ready many Democrats are discussing
as TO who shall be Mr.. Roberts sue
cessor. Judge Kings name comes ma
Iurally into such discussion, and his
strength both as canoldate ana
congressman are freely admitted.
Charles S. Varian is also much dis
cussed in this connection, and should
he permit the use of his name he will
have hosts of friends to back him. The
same may be said with equal force
of Hon. &C Richards of Ogden, a
good lawyer, a good speaker and a good
organizer Many kind words are heard
of Judge H p. Henderson, who is very
close to the heart of the Utah Democ-
racy; he has never shirked a party
duty. Fisher Harris name comes in
for it's full share of the discussion and
no man will have more ardent sup
porters should he conclude to enter the
race.
While the above are the names that
have come TO the front most promi-
nently so far. others will doubtless be
heard from later on in the event that
a special election becomes necessary.
The battle. should it come, will be
one of the most interesting in the his
tory of the state

ASKS SEPARATE MAINTENANCE
FANNIE E. DICE FILES SUIT
AGAINST V. E. DICE.
Latter Is Proprietor of a Restaurant
On Wheels That Stands On Com
mercial Street.

Fannie z. Dice filed a suit in the
district court yesterday for separate
maintenance against Vidor Z. Dice. her
husband, whom the complaint alleges
goes by the name Of Ed E. Johnson or
V. f. johnson.
The defendant. according to the COM
plant. owns and operates the Palace
Dining Car, which is situated on Com
merciaI street, and serves lunch-counter
orders. To the best of the belief of the
plaintiff, the defendant commands an
income of not less than $50 per week
as the proceeds from his restaurant on
wheels He also has $1,000 deposited in
various banks in Salt Lake City. As
Dice is said TO have practically desert
ed his wife and only allows her so cents
per diem wherewitfi to clothe. feed and
board herself, Mrs. Dice prays for such
alimony as the court may deem euuit-
able. and that the defendant be re-
strained from selling his property and
withdrawing his money from the banks,
as the complaint states that he has
avowed his intention of leaving the
state of Utah.
Judge Hiles issued the restraining or
der as prayed for.

SHELDON JACKSON COLLEGE
ENLARGEMENT OF PLANS DE-
CIDED UPON.
Trustees Went Over Ground Yester-
day With Architect Ware and
Staked Building Locations.

The Standardization college idea is
finally taking definite form, and the
active work of constructing the build
ingS will begin as early in the spring
as the weather will permit. Architect
Ware is now working on plans for the
buildings. The old plans have been dis
carded. and during the winter some
thing finer and more elaborate will be
gotten out. s4
This enlargement of the plans is made
possible by the hearty responses that
come from friends of the institution
in the east. Yesterday four of the
trustees of the college-H. G. McMil-
Ian, Gill S. Peyton. Rev. DIR. McNeice

the leg. The doctors examined the
member, making every effort at a dag
nosis, but failing to reach any conclu-
sion as to the cause of the trouble. The
result of their deliberations was con-
veyed to the patient, who renewed his
groans and insisted that his leg felt
like it would drop off any minute.
For almost week the doctors went
through medical literature, but found
no solace, and finally concluded it was

this, they approached him one day,
saying they had found the trouble and
the remedy. Accordingly the leg was
burnt with caustic from the ankle TO
the knee, and the burns healed up as
rapidly as possible. The patient then
felt himself getting better every day.
and as soon as the skin was in it's for

After two years withdrawal from
the ranks of the dividend payers. the
great Ontario mine of Park City-the
mine that has already paid it's stock
holders the princely sum of s13 557, 500
has again stepped into line and on the
10th of this month 10 cents a share, or
$4,000, will be distributed among the
shareholders as a sort of Christmas
gift. dispatch to that effect having
been received by Superintendent Cham
bers from Secretary F. G. Drum. San
Francisco, yesterday
The dividend was ordered by the di-
rectorate at a meeting held in New
York on the 1st of the month, and from
there communicated to Secretary Drum
in San Francisco
The last dividend paid by the COM
pany was in November, 1897, when 20
cents a share, or SIP, $780, was paid as
a consolation prize, for it was then that
the management decided to cease pro-
duction till the price of silver went up
again.
Will Pay Regular Dividends.
Speaking of the order TO resume the
payment of dividends. Superintendent
Chambers said there was no question
but the amount named would be COM
Ing regularly from month to month, as
the mine as we'll as the treasury were
both in condition to pay that sum for
an indefinite period. The monster ore
bins at the mine are choloed with ore,
as are also the chutes leading down
from the Slopes on. the levels now be-
ing mined and aside from that the
LOO. 1900 and 1.500 levels are fast be-
ing brought to a stage of development
that will place the property in shape to
respond to almost any demand that
the management might decided to
make upon it. While the dividend just
declared is low as compared with those
of former years, there is little or no
doubt that before the close of the year
1900, the old Ontario will again be pay
than 10 cents, even though it may not,
in that time. get back to its former
schedule of 80 cents a share.
Crown Point Damage Suit.
AS is generally known, a s1,OOO,OOO
damage suit has been planted against
the Ontario by the Crown Point Min
ing company suit which will prob
ably come to trial early in the year
but Mr.. Chambers declares that that
need not worry the stockholders in
the least, for the company's treasury
and mine are both in such condition
that neither the Grown Point suit, nor
any other suit which could be brought
against it, would prevent the payment
of such dividends as that just declared.
Just at present the company is not
any ore, the suspension be-
ing due to controversy with the
American Smelling & Refining COM
pany over the sampling of its product.
a matter which will likely be settled
by the end of the week, but in case it
IS not, and the Ontario stays out of the
market for some time to come-some-
thing not very likely TO happen-divi-
dends will come along regularly, just
the same, as the treasury now holds
probably close to $500 1000.
The news of the company's decision
to again enter the list of dividend
payers will cause general rejoicing, for
40 other mine in the state has done as
much as the Ontario in building up the |
great commonwealth.
