A Mother Tells How She Saved Her
Little Daughters Life.

1 am the mother Of eight children
and have had great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in it's worst form. We thought she
would die. 1 tried everything 1 could
think of, but nothing seemed to do her
any good. I saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Chamberlsin's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
q bottle at once. It proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. It saved my little daugh-
ter's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had known it at first
it would have saved me great deal OF
anxiety and my little daughter much
suffering.-Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F.

During the civil war, as we'll as in
our late war with Spain, diarrhoea was
one of the most troublesome diseases
the army had to contend with. In
many instances it became chronic and
the old soldiers still suffer from it.
Mr.. David Taylor of Wind Ridge,
Greene Co., Pa, is one of these. He
uses Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and says he never
found anything that would give him
such quick relief. 1t is for sale by all

tie to think about on freight wagon
journey across q Southwestern desert.
The teamster sits, jerkline in hand
and chews tobacco and swears at the
| horses for hours. The swamper, about
sixty feet to the rear, on the back Of
the last wagon, snoOZes and tries to be
comfortable under q blazing sun. The
team Is rested an hour at noon, and the
stop is made wherever noon finds the
freighting outfit. There are scores of
days in summer on the desert when the
mercury in the shade stands at 125 de-
grees, but teamsters and swampers do
not complain so much of heat as lone
illness. While the teamster gets out
his own and the swamper's food the
latter feeds the horses. gets water from
huge barrel on the rear wagon and
swabs out each animals mouth and
gives each certain quantity of water
to drink.
In an hour the weary journey across
the desert is resumed. The camp for
the night is always made near some
spring or little oasis in the desert
The teamsters can gauge with wonder
reach each spring, and how much wa
ter they may expect there at any
season of the year. The team can also
smell the water a long way off; some
teamsters say q mile distant, and
when the animals once get

The day. In camp at might the teamster
and the swamper have their distinc-
tive duties. The swamper is the cook
When the meal is over he does what
passes for dishwashing. Meanwhile
the teamster is busy with the horses.
When each beast has been relieved of
his burden of harness and wstered, it is
picketed out on the desert with bunch
OF hay and some grain within access.
The animals are never curried. They
perform for themselves the good there
is in currying by rolling in the sc of
sand. When a "rawhide"-thsti Is
tenderfoot in the desert freighting
teammates it's first few trips across
the dessrt, it will not roll in the hot
sand, but soon it gets to longing for its
evening and morning roll in the sand
dunes as much as the veterans in the
team. The teamster and swamper will
smoke in silence few pipelus of tobac-
co, and. curling up on blankets beneath
the wagons, will soon be sound asleep.

ILL TREATMENT OF THE POOR
AYLETTS WILL HAVE TO SUP
PORT THEIR SISTER.
Story of Mother Vaughan's Abandon
ment By Her Sons - Wife and
Mother-in-law Can't Agree.

The defense made by William and
Heber Aylett of West Jordan, who
were cited to appear before the board
of county commissioners yesterday to
show cause why they should not sup
port their sister, Mary Barr, an indi-
gent poor person. evidently did not i'm
press the board very fOrcibly, for at
ter hearing statement from the
wealthy sheep owners that they were
able to take the burden of supporting
their sister off the county, the board
ordered the county attorney 10 COM
mence action against William AyletJ,
ST., William Aylett. j., Iieber Jed
and Jesse Aylett to recover from them
all amounts heretofore paid by the
county for Mrs. Barr support and
to require the defendants to maintain
her from want in the future. The Ay-
let's claimed they were tire q of trying
to support their widowed sister for
eighteen long years, and one OF them
said he would quit the state first.
David E. Vaughan, a Saltair railroad
section hand, appeared before the
board to request that his brothers, IIy-
rum, Nephi, Henry and John, be re-
qulred to help him support their aged,
needy mother. The complainant repre-
scented that his wife refused TO let her
mother-in-law live at his house, and,
moreover, two of the younger sons
''bummed' their way wherever the OLD
woman stopped.
Commissioner Whitaker drew atten-
ton to the fact that a complaint hal
reached his ears to the effect that John
Vaughan had brought his mother over
from Hunter on Sunday, ard because
David's wife refused TO ct her be
brought into the mouse the old woman
was left on the sidewalk. where all the

WILL ISSUE BONDS
Utah & Pacific to Mortgage Its
Line.
ACTION TAKEN YESTERDAY
NO EXTENSIONS OR BRANCHES
CONTEMPLATED.
Chief Engineer West Reports That
Work Is Progressing Favorably
Enough Ties On Hand to Finish
the Road-Business Is In Salts
factory Condition.

The directors of the Utah & Pacific
held meeting in the office of the COM
pany yesterday afternoon, at which the
following officials were present: Presi-
dent a. w. McCune, Secretary Hoge
and Directors Joseph T. Smith, r. c.
Lund and Judge Dee.
The most important business trans
acted was the decision to mortgage
the road and issue a series of bonds TO
cover the mortgage. The bonds will be
for $1,000 each, and will be made pay
able in gold in twenty years, with in
tereSt at the rate of , per cent per an
mum. payable semi-annually. Secre-
tary Hoge was appointed to procure
the bonds and prepare the necessary
papers, looking after all the usual legal
formalities
The matter of building into Nevada
or extending any branch lines was not
discussed, and the issuance of bonds
has no significance in this direction, 1t
being merely the step that is taken by
all such corporations to secure the men
who put up the money to build the
road.
Chief Engineer James A. West was
in the city yesterday making his report
TO President McCune. From his report
it appears that everything is progress
ing smoothly on the new road. The
business is still on the increase, and
far exceeds the expectations of the di-
rectors of the company. Track-laying
is going forward steadily. there being
enough ties now to complete the line
to Uvada without any more delays.
Director. LUnd stated that they ex-

short time-possibly before the end of

reaches Uvada, and trains will be run

The news of the death of Mr.. Wells

here is very large, as he was one of
the best known men in western rail-
road circles. Mr.. Wells has been con-

years past, having served as general
agent, assistant general freight agent
and general freight agent. He was ap-
pointed to the latter position in May,

Mr.. Wells health has been poor for
the past two or three years, but he
was not sick enough to cause any great
apprehension among his friends nor to

he went to the Sandwich Islands for his
health and spent a couple of months
there, returning greatly benefited. The

at the Investigation-Kelsey Talk
ed About Rotten Political Gang"

A S. Geddes, f. c. Kelsey and Frank
B. Gowan were on the carpet before the
Siddoway investigating committee of the
city council yesterday afternoon. Geddes
reiterated his statement that Lund and
Jensen the watermasters of the Mill
Creek district, had told him that members
of the city council had offered to give the
Mill Creek people at the rate of 100 inches
of Jordan and Salt Lake canal water for
10 inches of Mill Creek water; that Lund
the water-takers TO the proposition and
that they had asked him to help get the
pay for their work from the city council.
In previous statements Geddes had named
Barnes, Fernstrom and Margetts as the
members who made the offer. Howe and
Fernstrom put it, in other reports circu-
lated. Yesterday Geddes' memory failed
and Margetts' name was the only one he
was sure of.
Kelsey corroborated Geddes' story in
part. Lund and Jensen came to him with
a bill of SO for the use of teams; he paid
s. of it and sent them to the council for
the balance.
Young Gowan told of Simon Bath. who
was afraid to testify against Lund and
Jensen for fear he'd have his water cut
off. 1t transpired that there was no such
man as Bath in the Mill Greek district.
Jensen and Lund then had their inning
