Another pretty little story has been
spoiled and another tale of marvellous
fortune laid away on the same shelf as
the legends Of unlimited gold finds in
the Klondike. A young man who maid

the inside pocket, has learned that his
bonds are worthless and that his profit
OF 1896 has vanished utterly. 1t is
just as well. That story would have
been quoted at every gathering of I'M

The death of valuable cattle from
eating wild cherry leaves in New
Hampshire has led to investigations
which show that while the wild red
cherry and horse plum are harmless
the dwarf cherry should be viewed
with suspicion, and the wild black
cherry and choke cherry are danger
Gus. The common impression that
only Wilted leaves are harmful was nor
verified. Both wilted and fresh leaves
were found to be poisonous and dried
leaves not beyond distrust. Vigorous
suceulent leaves from young shoots
the ones most likely to be eaten nv cat
tle-are far more poisonous than the
leaves OF mature tree or stunted
shrub. To sum up the facts i'm the
most foreible terms, the farmer who
permits these trees to flourish is sim

2,131 Little Ones at Pennington.

! Pennington, Sept. IA scene that will
not soon be forgotten by those who
viewed it was witnessed during the after
noon, session of the Davis stake quarterly
conference today. The afternoon meeting
had been set apart for the children of the
county, and from every ward in the stake
there came scores of vehicles loaded with
Sunday school children. They commenced
TO assemble at l O'Clock and by the time
meeting opened at there was no room
beneath the spacious bowery for any but
Sunday school workers to be seated. Flags
ana flowers were seen everywhere
throughout the congregation. The demon
stration had been arranged in honor of
President Snow and his party to the con-
ference. When the party arrived at 2
o'clock Sunday School Superintendent
Porter announced the first hymn, and the
and sang I'm Our Lovely Deseret."
Prayer was offered by Apostle George
Teasdale, and then the children sang
Nearer Dear Savior to Thee"
President Snow then spoke. and while
ne occupied the pulpit scarcely whisper
could be heard He said during the last
four months it had been his privilege to
visit many stakes of Zion, and several
times before he had been greeted and
welcomed by the Sunday school workers,
but in no other place had it been his
privilege to behold so many children
gathered to meet him. He expressed sur
prise that there were so many children in
Davis county. After referring feelingly to
the future that awaited some of those
who were before him, he pronounced a
blessing upon them and gave way to
President George Q. Cannon. who adj
dressed the children for short time and
advised them to live lives that would
make them indeed Latter-day Saints
lives of honesty, sobriety, truthfulness,
virtue and goodness.
After closing exercises the children
marched, under the direction of their
teachers. past the stand where President
Snow sat, and 2, 131 of them shook hands
with the venerable leader. Each of the
children carried flowers or q flag. Presi-
dent Snow was somewhat fatigued after
the reception but he expressed pleasure
at the arrangements that had been made
and said he could have shaken hands with
a thousand more, if necessary. 1t was an
opportunity that the children will never
forget.
The morning meeting today was adj
dressed by President George Q. Cannon,
who spoke of the trials through which !
the Saints have passed, their miraculous
deliverance from difficult situati their |
commendable unity which has preserved |
them in the past, and the necessity for |
strict obedience to all the laws of God |
including the law of tithing.
Conference will be concluded tomorrow |
and sessions will be held at 10 a. m. and |
2 p. m. President Snow and his party will |
again be in attendance.

Negro Arrested at Greenwood With
Letter From Silver Tip.

supposed to have stolen the valuable sad

| Greenwood. The capture now turns out to
! De what the officers believe a. most inn
portant one A letter was found on the
| negro from Silver Tip" Hawkins. stating
when he would be taken from Provo to
! Loa for trial, and wound UP by asking
the negro If he had any of those good
| tools
1t is the belief of the officers that the
negro, who gives his name as Ed Wright,
intended to liberate Silver Tip' from the
custody of the sheriff of Wayne county.
who will pass with his prisoner from
here to Loa tomorrow. He had taken a
! morse belonging to a man living in Elsi-
more, the saddle from here and armed
with new shotgun and cartridges which
ne purchased here the day before the
thetts, he had gone into the mountains
along the road which the sheriff would
pass: He was seen by several parties go
ing toward Loa, and this furnished the
trace which led to his arrest
The horse had got away from the negro
however, and he was on his way back to
Glenwood to try and recapture it when he
was arrested by Sheriff Coons He at
first denied the stealing, but finally adj
united that he had taken the saddle and
mad left 1t at sheep ranch on the noun
tam. When asked why he followed the
morse back when he was almost sure of
being found out. he said he did not want
to go away very far that he had business
around where he had been
I3e IS very anxious that the charge
against him be made petit instead of
grand larceny. He was we'll posted on
what constituted the two offenses, and
wanted the officers and Mr.. Matthews to
value the saddle at less than $50.
The sheriff of Wayne county on his
way after the prisoner Hawkins last
Thursday, met the negro crossing the
mountain east of Glenwood, but did not
suspicion him at the time. When he ar
rived here and was informed of the cap
ture and the letter found on the negro he
made a careful scrutiny of him and is
been connected with the Robbers Rposf
gang. He had seen the negro at the
Roost and is quite sure this IS the same
one. Circumstances tend to prove this as
correct, and it is fortunate that the negro
was taken into custody before Silver
Tip" was taken back, as it is probable
there would have been a tragedy.
His preliminary hearing will be held to-
morrow at 2 o'clock.
