DIVORCE NOT GRANTED.
Mrs. Writings Allegations Against
Her Husband Failed.

In Judge Hiles' court yesterday VIII
liam Whiting scored triumph against
his wife Caroline Whiting, who COM
PEELED him to show cause why her
prayer for a decree of divorce should
not be granted. After hearing the tes-
timony of nearly a dozen witnesses on
each side and the arguments of James
F. Smith for the plaintiff and Walker
T. Gunter for the defendant, Judge
Hiles declined to grant the decree. be-
cause he deemed plaintiffs allegation
of habitual drunkenness had not been
sufficiently proven. In announcing his
decision, the court remarked that some
times a man who gets drunk periodi-
cally provided web for his family. and
he thought this one of such cases.
Coupled with the allegation of drunk
enness. Mrs. Whiting charged that her
husband had neglected to support her
for several months past, but Attorney
Smith withdrew the specification of
non-support and elected to stand upon
the charge of habitual intoxication
from the date of the marriage twelve
Years ago in this city
The weight of the evidence proved
quite conclusively, the court believed,
that Whiting got drunk only at long in
terNals.

IN THE GRIP EPIDEMIC
Special Use of Hot GTOgS
DR.. Cyrus Edison,
of New York Health Department, and
DR.. LIBERMANN,
Surgeon-General Of the French Army.

So
H. Libermann, NJ. D., Surgeon Cen
eral of the French Army, in an article
on La Grippe" Qnf1uenza). recon-
mends the following hot grog: One
third goblet of Vim Mariani, with two7l
thirds boiling water. cloves and cinna-
mon, and with or without sugar, makes
a grog of exquisite flavor. which pro-
duces immediate beneficial effect in
severe cases Of cold. attended by con-
vulsive coughing and depression IL -
best taken at bed time. In ther grip
epide7ncs in France it was the tonic
absolutely relied upon, and has received
frequent deserved mention in the Med
ical Press. It has been shown that
patients recover very slowly, there IS
much general weakness and lassitudes
invariably calling for something IN the
nature of a mild tonic stimulant, and It
has been found that Mariana Wine is
unequaled for such cases.
DR.. Cyrus Edison of the New YORK
Health Department has made a careful
study of the subject in his book on La
Grippe" published by Appleton & Co.
On page 80 he writes of Vim Mar1ani
and calls special attention to 1t IN the
form of hot grog. In speaking OF the
complete proStration accompanied by
the depression caused by this disease,
and also during entire convaieseence,
his preference for q tonic stin1ulant IS
a hot grog of Vim Mariani. He says 1T
is excellent for the purpose intended,
and recommends its use freely. The
remedy is simple and within easy reach
of all who suffer from this dreaded dis
ease.
A book with further explicit details
will be sent by Mariani & Co., 81 West
18th ST., New York, to any one who will
write requesting same. 1t is certainly
well worth writing for.
In addition to the able authorities
quoted, the book offered contains many
more similar and most convincing en-
dorsements, thus proving it the most
reliable of all known products of this
character

New Plan to SATISFY Claims Of
Creditors.
ISSUE OF COMMON STOCK
WILL MAKE SALT PALACE A
PERMANENT RESORT.
Directors Ask For an Extension of
the Lease On the Ground and
Owners Take the Matter Under
Advisement-Cannot Issue Pre-
ferred Stock to Creditors.

The plan of the Salt Palace directors
to issue preferred stock to the creditors
of the association, as security for their
claims, has been practically abandoned.
1t was thought at-first that this would
be a remedy for all the financial en-
barrassments of the association, but at
the outset an objection was found. In
order to issue preferred stock. it would
be necessary to change the articles of
association, and the unanimous consent
of the stockholders must be had. TAX
ing everything into consideration, the
directors decided that such a thing
would be next to impossible, and the
matter was accordingly dropped.
New Plan Suggested.
In its place, however, a plan has been
conceived, which. it is thought, will be
entirely satisfactory to both creditors
and stockholders A committee was
yesterday appointed, consisting of S.
w. Morrison, chairman; M. H. Walker
and j. 7. Gardner. They were instruct
ed to consult with J. r. Walker and
Fred Heath, owners of the. grounds, re-
garding an extension of the lease of the
association. The present lease runs for
two years. In payment for the lease,
they were to offer common stock in the
association. Inc claims OF the cred
itors, amounting to about S3S, 600, are
also to call for their value in common
stock. 1t is hoped that there will be no
objection TO this, as it is planned to
make the palace a permanent amuse-
ment resort. BY next season the
directors expect that it will be paying
proposition and that the stock will call
for dividends. For this reason, it is
hoped that both the owners of the land
and the creditors will agree to the
proposition.
The committee yesterday afternoon
conferred with Messrs. Walker and
Heath and laid the matter before them
1t was taken under consideration and
an answer will probably be returned
today. II the answer is returned this
morning, a meeting with the creditors
will be held this afternoon; if not, the
creditors. will be consulted Monday
A notice of intention to claim and

company. The amount claimed is

This makes the fifth lien notice filed
this week against the Salt Palace, and
the aggregate claimed is about $500.

Writ of Mandate Demanded.
a petition for a writ of mandate re-
curing Judge Booth Of the Fourth jul

case of the state VS.. George Bates, I'M
der indictment for murder in the second
degree. was fled with the supreme
court yesterday by District Attorney ).
a. King of the Fourth district. Their
honOrs took the application and the ac-
complaining affidavits and exhibits UNI
der Amusement, so that Ii VIII not be
known for few days whether the writ
viii be granted.
Review of the Case.
1t is set forth in the papers filed that
Bates was indicted for killing John
Nordquist i'm Tooele county in Septem-
Der. 1895, and sentenced, after trial and
conviction and view of the case by
the supreme court, 20 ten years inn
prisonment from Dec 10 1896. The trial
was by a jury of eight persons. On
May - 1898. the defendant was re-
leased from prison by Judge Marshall
of the federal court granting Bates APP
plicatiOn for a writ of habeas corpus,
which application was based upon a
plea that he was unlawfully restrained
of his liberty.
Liberated and Rearrested.
However, on the day of Bates liber-
alton from penal servitude he was ar
rested and held for retrial on the old
indictment against him of murder in
the second degree. A change of venue
was granted from Tooele to the dis
trict court of Utah county, and the
case was set for trial on Sept. % of this
year, but on Sept ? Thurman & White
cotton, attorneys for Bates, filed a mo-
ton to dismiss the case, because. as al
legged, the court was without legal au-
thority TO try the defendant.
Case Dismissed.
District Attorney King filed an affi-
davit setting forth the matters involved,
but on Sept. 20 Judge Booth, after
hearing counsel for both sides, granted
the motion to dismiss. an pronouncing
his decision, the judge stated that the
case must be dismissed for the reason
that the Utah courts had lost jurisdic-
ton of the case against Bates when he
was sentenced upon conviction for the
murder.
