Resolutions of Coincidence.

CASTLE HALL, JUDITH LODGE, No. 80,
X. OF p, MAY %, 1890.
WHEREAS, The angel Of death has
invaded the household of Bro. VIM.
A. Shaules. be it
RESOLVED: That the members OF
this lodge deeply and sincerely de-
plore the unutterably sad misfortune
which has befallen Brother and Mrs.
w. A. Shaules and tender them our
heartfelt sympathy in their hour OF
trial and tribulation. For our
brother, far away in a distant land
battling for his country's flag, our
sorrow is of the most poignant
character, and we pray the Supreme
Chancellor on High to sustain him
in bearin the burden which falls SO
heavily upon an affectionate father.
May he bear his affection calmly and
resignedly, and may his Knightly
courage sustain and soOthe him with
the cheering thought that the little
oneisnot dead, but sleeping, and that
there will be a joyful reunion when the
Divine Chancellor shall have sounded
the tocsin. For the bereaved mother
our grief Is inexpressible. 1t IL i'm
measurably sad to see her darling
boy thus taken away, but let her
comfort herself with the thought
that He on high knew best. Only
the fairest flowers are plucked, and
when little Arthur received the sum-
mons to cross the river Il most pure
and beautiful soul took its flight.
Brother and sister, be brave. Con-
sole yourselves with the thought
that His will must prevail; that
when the summons comes we all
must respond; and remember that in
your hour of trouble a goodly band
OF truly sympathizing knights stand
in readiness to aid you in every
possible manner.
RESOLVED: Further, that these
resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of this lodge, that an EN-
graved copy be furnished the family
OF Brother Shaules, and that they be
given the Lewistown newspapers
for publication.

UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL.
Glass Day Exercises at the Collegiate
Institute.


Decidedly unique and original were
the senior class exercises at the Col
legiate Institute last evening. The
programme was arranged in the form
of a book and the bookish idea was car
ried out throughout the exercises.
First came the Modern Cyclopaedia
of General Information" Upon the
stage was revealed huge bookcase,
containing four motionless figures.
dressed to represent books with black
morocco bindings and gilt lettering.
Arthur Foote was the editor Remov-
ing the first volume from the bookcase
it stood revealed as Miss Kate T. Bry-
den and from her open pages he recited
the history of notables among the fac
ulty and students. So he went down
the list of volumes, reeling off telling
drive after drive at the weak points of
his fellow students and professors. The
other volumes were Miss Mary La
mont, Miss Kate Johnston and VIII b.
Willes.
After that came the Table of Con-
tents" beginning with a frontispiece
in which Mr.. Willes and Miss Lamont
posed as John Alden and Priscilla. -
The rest of the programme was divided
into chapters each one acted out by a
member of the class as follows:
Observation-Disclosures lozoology. A
treatise, Kate T. Dryden.
A voice from the grave, Will B. Will
les.
PosthumouS Fame, Mary Lamont
a dream, poem. Kate Johnston.
In the interludes between the chap
tiers there was music by Miss Sadie Nc
Chrystal and Miss Florence Under
wood.

Rates OVER UTaH & PACIF' c
NEW ROAD NOW GETS THE BUS
MESS.
Big Saving For Southern Utah On Ore
and Northumberland For Ex-
cursion Tickets.

Joseph A. West, chief engineer and
superintendent of construction of the
Utah & Pacific, stated yesterday that
the trouble with the people of ST.
George over the freight rates is now
amicably settled, and that the people
from that section are patronizing the
new road. The whole trouble was the
result of a misunderstanding and as
soon as the matter was cleared up the
trouble ceased. The tariff made by the
Utah & Pacific makes the rate on ore
from st. George to Milford via Mo-
dena $3.50 per ton less than it was on
the old route, and freight from Mil
ford to st. George via Modena is 20
cents per hundred cheaper than it is
to haul it in the old way. The freight
ers make big wages hauling ore from
st. George to Modena at $40 ton and
carrying back freight at 50 cents
hundred. This SO. plus the railroad
rate of $3.50 from Modena to Milford,
makes the present rate on ore $3.50
per ton, against s1S per ton on the old
haul from St. George to Milford,
saving of $3.50 on ore. On other freight
the railroad rate of 40 cents from Mil
ford to Modena, plus the 25 cents
st. George, makes an average rate of
so cents per hundred to st. George
via the Utah & Pacific, as
against a rate Of 81 per hundred
charged by freighters on the old route
from Milford to st. George, thus saw
ing the people 20 cents a hundred.
Mr.. West has received letters from
people at Hebron and Enterprise. Of
fering to contract to handle the freight
between Modena and st. George on
this basis, but as the old st. George
freighters are willing to accept the
same rate, they will be given the pref
erence.
Fifteen wagons loaded with copper
ore left St George Friday for MOdena,
and they will carry freight back.
Concerning the story published in
one of the papers down there as to
some dissatisfaction at Cedar City,
Mr.. West said that there was not
particle of truth in it. He has letters
from the business men in Cedar City,
pledging their patronage to the Utah
& Pacific. Two hundred and fifty thou
sand pounds of wool moved from
Lund during the past few weeks
When questioned about the compile
ton of the road, Mr.. West said that
they expected to resume work Monday,
and that ii could be finished in about
ten days. The teams and men are all
engaged and ready to begin work at
once.
Work on the pipe line from Lynch's
ranch to Modena is progressing nicely
and Will soon be completed.
A. d. Holmes, recently of the South
ern Pacific at Ogden, is now agent and
dispatcher at Modena.

Hard Blows Will Not Be Allowed
Friday Night.
POLICE WILL STOP FIGHT
WARNING is ISSUED TO FITZ-
SIMMONS AND JEFFRIES.
Chief Devery Will Be On Hand and
at the First Sign of Prize Fight or
Smuggling Contest Will Interfere
Must Be Purely Sparring
Match.

New York, June 6.-Chief of Police
Devery tonight gave out the following
statement relative to the action he
will take in case the Fitzsimmons-
Jeffries fight, next Friday night, re-
solves itself into brutal smuggling
match"
From certain published statements
of experts on prize ring and boxing
matters, and from various sources 1t
would appear that the two woulc-oe
pugilistic champions who are GOWN
for a sparring contest at the Coney
Island Athletic club, on Friday night
next or their hackers or managers, In
tend to have, under the SuiSe Of a
sparring contest, genuine old-time
smuggling match or prize fight. If no
such smuggling match is intended, then
the inference is that these statements
and impressions are spread for the sole
purpose of quilting ana imposing on
the public.
Considering the parties to the con-
tract, their respective. weights, 20 and
156 pounds and other offending cir
cumstances and conditions, ii is al
most a physical impossibility for the
two individuals referred 70 to carry on
Z a lawful contest for poInIs on the COM
ing occasion. The very nature Of
things tends to an out-and-out prize
fight.
Il shall be present ut the contest,
and, as chief of police l shall person.
ally see to it that the letter and spirit
of the law relative to such contests are
obeyed, and that there will be no
smuggling nor heavy hitting. nothing
but a clean cut, lawful sparring exit
bition for points. Any person who
permits himself to be gulled or i'm
posed upon by thinking otherwise will
find himself very much mistaken 1t
will be well for the public to under
stand that the first heavy blow struck
will mark the end of the Contest

New Yorker WithdrawS In Favor of
Henderson.
THE IOWAN IS TOO STRONG
HAS PRACTICALLY NO OPPOSE
TON FOR SPEAKERsHIP.
New York Delegation Had Confer
ence and An Attempt Was Made
to Endorse Sherman, But 1t Was
Soon Realized That This Was
Hopeless Proceeding.

New York, June Ga conference of
Republican congressman of New York
state to decide upon candidate for the
speakership of the house of representa-
tives was held at the Fifth avenue no.
tel today and resulted in a decision TO
support David B. Henderson of Iowa.
The conference went into session
behind closed doors. Representative
Sherman did not go. into the confer
ence. He said it was his intention to
obey the decision of the conference
whatever it might be.
Congressman Ray and Wadsworth
left before the conclusion of the con-
ference and said they did so because
Representative Littaur had offered IL
resolution endorsing Mr. Sherman
They said they considered this an in
suit to Mr.. Payne, whom they favored
as candidate.
Soon after this, those in the confer
ence notified Mr.. Sherman that they
had decided TO vote for him. Mr.. Sher-
man then went into the conference and
said that Mr.. Henderson of Iowa, haV-
ing developed such great strength as
would make him practically the only
candidate, he would suggest that the
delegation go over to that congressman.
An informal discussion followed and it
was decided to- support Mr. Henderson
Representative Sherman was requested
to telegraph Mr.. Henderson notifying
him of this action. The conference then
adjourned.
The conference was attended by six
OF the Republican congressman of this
state and six of the others were COM
municated with by telephone or other
wise so that twelve of the New York
delegation of fifteen had decided for
Henderson Mr.. Payne, before leaving
for Alaska, declared himself in favor of
the Iowan, and as his supporters.
Messrs Ray and Wadsworth will prob
ably follow his lead, it seems certain
Henderson will have fifteen votes from
New York. The following telegram
was sent to General Henderson:
New York, June 6.
General D. B. Henderson. Dubuque,
THE Republican representatives from
New York state. at a meeting held to-
day. Mr.. Wadsworth and Mr.. Roy
Withdrawing therefrom and Mr.. Payne
not being present, rendered me their
support for speaker. l acknowledged
with gratitude the honor, but stated
that in my opinion a majority of the
Republicans of the Fifty-siXth con-
Sress had already voluntarily expressed
preference for you, and that support
was not confined to any section; that
with long acquaintance and service
with you, l was aware of your eminent
fitness for the position of speaker, and
that unanimous election would tend to
strengthen you. Whereupon the meet
ing, at my request, instructed me TO
notify you that the New York Repub-
lican representatives rendered you their
support
