He says the scariige Of Philippine
Churches was by the Spanish.
SANvRANClSCo, Nov, 9O,-General
Frederick Funston accompanied by his

He is on the way to Manila, where he

II DO not know anything about the
rObb!ng Of church2s in the PHILIPPINES
by the American soldiers" declared the
general in an interview, and while it
may be true that some of our men
were guilty of sacriligous thievery, l
can hardly believe it.
During the war between the Span

Der Of the native churches robbed by
spaniards, \ great deal Of the plunder
got into the hands of Chinamen, who
eventually sold considerable of the stun

The Union Pacific ran an excursion

The Oregon Short Line outing excur-

yesterday was well patroniZed. Ten
carloads left the city to visit Idaho
points.
The San Francisco Examiner states
that California is in urgent need of
laborers TO complete the railroad i'm

state. The Southern Pacific alone
wants 500 men, and can't get them.
President Meelen and a party

crossing.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
COMPLICATED WORK NOW DONE
HERE.
New Machinery Being Placed In OPP

1y Sent East Are Now Perfected
Under Master Mechanic Hickey's
Personal Supervision-Notes.

The Rio Grande Western shops in this
dustry. Master Mechanic John Hickey
is in charge. \ force of men is engaged
preparing the foundation for the large
boiler shop which has already been de-
scribed in The Herald. The present
boiler shop is situated in the west end
of the blacksmith shop, and the quar-
tiers there are entirely Inadequate for
the work being done
Now that the two big machines re-
Gently purchased are set up and in
operation, there is scarcely room to
turn around, but as soon as the new
shop is finished it will be an easy mat
ter to take care of all the work that
comes in without being cramped for
room. The entire space between the
blacksmith and machine shops will be
rooted in, and when this is done the
company will have some of the largest.
most airy and convenient shops in the
west.
Mr.. Hickey stated that it was the
policy of the company to make the
shops as airy as possible, so that the
employees would have comfortable
quarters to labor in. With the ma
chinery that is now in the Salt Lake
shops, a great deal of work is being
done here that was done in the east
before this machinery was received. For
example, all of the fire boxes for the
locomotives can now be made in the
boiler shop here, instead of having to
bring them in from the east. Three were
in course of construction yesterday.
The tin shop and the car shop have
been enlarged, and even now
they do not appear to be any too large
for the work that is being done. The
big forty-ton coal car recently built
under the direction of Mr.. Hickey in
the local car shop is in use every day,
and gives entire satisfaction. 1t has
proven to be superior in every way to
the cars that come from the east. but
the 100 cars of this type are to be built
in the east, on account of the cost-it
being much cheaper to turn them out
from the large plants specially erected
for that purpose

DROWNED BOYS BODY FOUND
CORPSE OF EARL LUFKIN RE-
COVERED BY AN UNCLE.
Stretched Net Below White Bridge
and Yesterday the Body Was
Found Lodged In It.

The body of Earl Lufkin, the 5-year-
old boy drowned in Jordan river last
Thursday, was recovered yesterday by
his uncle, William c. Bouck, who lives
at 266 West First North The body
was floating above Second North, al
most a mile from where he was drown
ed. The river was seined Thursday,
and the supposition is that the body
followed closely behind all the way. 4
net was stretched across the river a
half mile below the white bridge that
night, and the body was in THE net
when Mr.. Bouck got there at o'clock
yesterday morning.
Two interesting theories are ad-
vanced as to the reason for the body
floating after forty-eight hours One is
that the thunder storm Friday night
did what the dynamite would not do:
the second that hot weather will natur-
ally raise a corpse after that length of
time.
The remains were taken to Under
taker Joseph William Tayior's parlors,
and will be buried from the Fifteenth
ward Westinghouse at 1880 a. m. to-
day Friends are invited.
The Lufkin family is highly appre-
ciative Of the valuable services rem
dered by so many friends in the search
for the child, and desire TO express their
profound thanks to all who assisted.

SALT LAKE ORPHANS.
How Two Penniless Lads Made the
Journey to Texas.

Albuquerque Journal-Democrat
Among the passengers on No. 1 last
night were two small boys who told
an interesting story of their expert
ence in the hobo line. They gave the
names of Ed and Sam MacFarlane,
and the ages os Is and respectively.
Ed talked freely to a small audience
at the depot, and little Sam chimed in
occasionally with some fact that his
brother failed to mention. Last winter
the father and mother of the boys died
in Salt Lake City of typhoid fever.
Early in the spring the little chaps.
without a cent of money in their peck
cts, started on foot for Coleman City,
Tex, where they have a married sis
ter living. 1t took them many weeks
to cross hundrtdS of weary miles of
mountain and desert to Durango. They
walked the entire distance. except when
passing vehicles gave them a lift"
At Durango they told their story TO a
brakeman, who stored them away in a
baggage car, which brought them to
Chama. By this time, having gained
experience in the arts of professional
travellers, they climbed onto the blind
baggage and came as far as Antonita-
They reached Santa Fe yesterday.
Mayor Sloan interested himself in their
case and procured them tickets for FL
Paso. He also furnished them with a
letter to Mayor Magoffin, asking that
they be helped on their way to Coleman
City. The boys are sturdy looking lit
tie fellows and are sharp enough to
make their way anywhere.

BOGUS MONEY PASSED.
Deputy Sheriff Tries to Hold County
Treasurer Liable.

Deputy Sheriff Goldman is loser $50
by reason of having unwittingly passed
a counterfeit bill. But the strange fea-
ture is that the Murray peace officer
is positive he received the bogus money
from the county treasurer.
Yesterday afternoon Goldman rushed
into the county treasureTs office and
demanded good money in exchange for
the counterfeit. The deputy sheriff as
serted that he got the $50 bill when he
signed the pay roll on July 8, but did
not pay it out until a few days ago to
Orson Sanders. the Murray merchant.
Sanders took 1t without question and
deposited it with the Deseret National
bank The bank returned 1t stamped
counterfeit" The merchant threw it
back to the deputy sheriff.
When Deputy Treasurer Felt picked
I'D the bill for examination he laughed
at the rawness of the counterfeit, al
though the reverse side of the paper is
a fairly good imitation. I'll see" said
the deputy treasurer and in a few mo-
ments he returned to the window with
evidence that the county salaries for
June were paid in gold and silver coin,
and not with currency. Until the mat
ter is investigated further the treas
urer's office will refuse to make good
Goldman's loss.
The counterfeit bill is silver certifi-
cate series of 1891, and is very poor
imitation of the genuine.

is BEING LOOKED INTO
STATE BOARD TAKES UP SCAR
LET FEVER CASE.
T. B. Beatty, Secretary of the Board,
Talks of Alleged Looseness In OBJ
servance of Quarantine.

The case of scarlet fever complained
of to the state board of health is being
looked into by DR.. T. B. Beatty, secre-
tary of the board. The doctor said yes
terday that when instructed so to do,
the city quarantine inspector hangs up
his flag. but il is his duty TO see to it
that the rules of the board are observed
in every particular.
These rules require that the inspector
shall visit the quarantined premises
regularly and see to it that the strict
letter of the law is observed. This, DR..
Beatty says, the inspectors have failed
to do in a number of cases, of which
the one reported is a fair sample.
People in quarantine, he says, COM
municate with their neighbors, go to
work and around generally, as though
there was no necessity for their being
shut in by themselves.
Quarantine Inspector Stacey adds to
what Health Commissioner Keogh
stated in yesterdays Herald, that the
city health authorities are not TO blame
for the delay in the warning given to
the public of the existence of scarlet
fever in a street car conductors family,
residing in the southwestern part of
the city.
Inspector Stacey stated yesterday
that as soon as neighbOrs of the af-
fiicted family reported the existence of
the fever oil Friday, he made an in
spectiOn, and although DR.. Stewart had
ten days before pronounced it a case of
tonsilitis, the inspector was SO well sat
isfied of the nature of the child's afflic-
ton that he quarantined the premises
and did everything possible to prevent
a further spread of the contagion in
the vicinity. The quarantine will be
enforced until it is proper to raise it.
AS an instance of how doctors dis
agree, Inspector Stacey cited the fact
that quarantine of an alleged scarlet
fever case in the southeastern part of
the city was raised a few days ago,
upon order of DR.. Bower. DR.. Giesy
was the first physician called to at
tend the case, and he pronounced it
scarlet fever. Later on DR.. Bower dag
nosed the case as quinsy, and the first
attendant refusing to admit his error,
DR.. Bower ordered the yellow flag
down. His orders We're complied with

facts, and the inspector becoming salts
