Magnitude OF the Offering Will Be
Specially Acknowledged at the
Monuments Unwilling.

The Mormon people did themselves
proud few months ago in raising a
contribution of $4,000 toward the cree
ton of the national monument to the
martyrs of the battleship Maine and
American heroes of Cuban battlefields,
and when the time comes for unwilling
the memorial, the splendid contribution
from the members of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will
be publicly acknowledged in a proper
manner.

reads as follows:
Dear Sir-On behalf of this commit
tee, please permit me to express our

Il have some difficulty in acknoWl-
edging the deep gratitude of tnis COM
mittee for the wonderful showing that
you and your associates in the church
have made 1t shows how thoroughly
the spirit of patriotism is awake among
the Mormon people.
1T may interest you to know that the
fund now in the hands of our treas

tude of the proportionate offering of
your people.

our sincere appreciation of their noble
work, and to accept the assurance that
when the time comes for the unwilling
of the monument. proper public ac-

NEWS FROM OVER THE STATE.

done in following clues that might lead
to the apprehension of the murderer of Mr.
Sandal. The facts he related have all
been fully covered by The Herald reports.
The detective expressed a firm belief that
the man seen in Croydon the week after
the tragedy is the murderer, and he asked
the commissioners to appropriate a suft-
cient sum to enable him to follow the clue.
He believed he could catch his man.
A petition concerning the Layton trag-
edy was also received signed by George
Swan, jr., and eighty-three other resi-
dents of Kaysville and Layton, asking
that a S1.000 reward be offered for the
arrest and conviction of the murderer of
Mr.. Sandal. The commissioners made an
order authorizing Sheriff Abbott 10 in
crease the reward of S1O0 that he has al
ready offered to $500. This, with the $500
offered by Mr.. Ellison of the Farmers
union, will make total of $1,000 that
will be paid to the man who apprehends
the murderer. The commissioners did not
appropriate the $50 asked for by Detective
Franks, as they considered the reward
a sufficient incentive TO anyone to fol-
low q clue that promised to lead to an
arrest of the guilty party.

WORK OF STATE KINDERGARTEN
THE ASSOCIATION MEETS AND
ELECTS OFFICERS.
Plans Discussed For Raisign Funds
and Extending the Work-Many
Children Turned Away.

The State kindergarten association
ing and elected the following list OF
officers for the coming year: President
Miss Mary c. May; first vice president
Mrs. II. L. Driver, ogden; second vice
president, Miss Anna Craig, Provo;
treasurer, Mrs. Rebecca S. Little; cor
responding secretary, Miss Donnette
Smith; recording secretary, Mrs. c. T.
Allen.
OF the official board, these were pres
ent at yesterdays annual session:
Professor William B. Stewart, the re-
firing president; Mrs. H. II. Young,
Mrs. Emmeline 3. Wells and Mrs. r. X.
Thomas.
Plans for the extension of the kim
dergarten work in connection with the
public schools Were discussed. 1t is
hoped that during the next year the
association will be able to secure some
substantial assistance from clubs and
women's organizations generally. a
plan whereby each society of this order
should be asked TO contribute 81 toward
the support of the outside llindersar-
tens was discussed and favored by a
majority of the board. No official ac-
ton was taken on the matter.
During the next school year it is
hoped that one more outside kinder
garten besides the Webster school class
may be established. At that school
more than 100 children who applied for
admission were turned away, because
of lack of room. If it can be arranged
so that one school can be supported by
club women, it is thought that this adj
ditional kindergarten may be opened.
The work of the Webster school class
is now in charge of Miss May and n
subcommittee of the board. Those who
viii act during the year are Mrs. H. H.
Young Mrs. Hannah Mccormick, Mrs.
Mia Topper Maynard, Mrs. C. E. AL
len and Mrs. Rebecca 5. Little.

FRICTION OF IDEAS.
Prof. Stewards Address On "Dull-
ness" Evokes Lively Discussion.

From a pedagogical standpoint last
evenings meeting of the Education club
was the most interesting and profitable
of any yet held. Professor w. NJ. Stew
art of the university training school de-
livered an address on "Dullness,' but
before he had proceeded very far the
school teachers were discussing nearly
every point advanced by him. This was
just the resultrfor which the professor
had been hoping. Professor Stewart e
a firm believer in manual training and
education on physical lines, as it were.
before mental drilling is undertaken,
and in harmony with this idea it Is his
belief that the entire course of study
in the schools should be modernized.
Very many of the teachers took issue
with Professor Stewart, and the result
ing discussion partook of expressions
of opinion on the advantages of home
influence in fitting pupils for the swift
and satisfactory accomplishment OF
their studies
Professor Stewards topic was in real
ity scarcely touched upon, in SO far as
the term "dullness'' implied, and by
common consent it was agreed that the
discussion of the fruitful subject should
be continued at the clubs next meeting
en- May 8.

PARLEY'S CANYON DISCUSSED
MATTER COMES UP AGAIN THIS
EVENING.
The City Engineer to Have Super
visory Charge of improvements
Superintendent Game to Hire Men

The waterworks committee held a
short meeting Yesterday forenoon to
prepare a report on the conditions
along the banks of Parley's Canyon
creek and to recommend to the city
council remedial measures for the eX-
listing evils. During the brief discus
sion all the members of the committee
agreed that something in the way OF
wholesome corrective agencies should
be applied but before a plan could be
agreed upon for recommendation, sew
eral members pleaded pressing engage
ments and the meeting dissolved until
$50 this evening.
However, another matter was brought
to the Committees attention. City En-
gineer Kelsey urged that the super
vision of the extensive Improvements
to the Ncaterworks system, in pursuance
of his plans, be placed with him. be-
cause it was distinctly engineering
work Mr. Kelsey declared he had no
desire whatever TO employ the I'M
skilled laborers. nor TO in any way in
fringe upon the prerogatives of Super
intendent Caine of the Waterworks de-
partment. With this explanation, SUI
perintendeut Game waived his objec-
tions and the committee agreed to
recommend to the council that the en-
eineer be given supervisory charge of
the improvements, leaving the water
works superintendent in executive
charge of the work.

RICH COUNTY ROAD ROW.
Division of Opinion About Closing a
Highway.
Especial Correspondence


Randolph, April 15.-Our county court
met on Friday last and transacted some
queer business. It seems that the people
of Woodruff have been trying to close
what is known as the lower road, near
Woodruff, for many years, for the reason
that they consider they have to pay a
tax on the upper road. Then they con-
slider that they are taxed again when the
county approDriates money out of the
county treasury.
A. c. Call, with others, appeared in the
court on Friday with a petition to close
the lower road, and cause the travel to
go through Woodruff. n. NJ. Hodges, the
commissioner from Laketown, said that If
Mr.. Call would use his influence with the
people of Woodruff to vote a special tax
to put the new bridge at or near Sage
Creek, he (Hodges) would vote to abandon
the lower road as a county road
The lower road has been Travelled Tor
over twenty years and the county has
kept the road up to some eXtent-not good
by any means-Out of the county funds
for the reason that it is about d mile and
th~ee-fifths shorter than the road run
fifths of the travel comes from the north
end of the county, the former courts
thought it but just to shorten the distance
as much as possible for the majority Of
the people.
The Old commissioners investigated the
best location for a bridge last year and
decided it was best to put it about five or
six miles higher up the river than the
present commissioners have, and the APP
preparation was asked for the bridge to
be built at the old place.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Yesterdays Session Was Short and
of Slight Importance.

Yesterdays meeting of the board of
county commissioners was attended by
Chairman Francis Armstrong for the
first time in several weeks. The chair
man has only slowly improved in health
since his return from the Pacific coast,
and the proceedings of the board were
of short duration.
D. H. Wells, attorney for the Wash
ington Rock company, complained of
the obstructing of the road by one
James Thompson in Spring Hollow
canyon, in section u, township 1 south,
range 1 east. and requested that the
legal remedy be applied to the COM
plant. Inasmuch as the road in ques-
ton is owned by private parties and is
not a public highway, the board de-
clined to interfere in the matter.
oscar Van Colt, county school super
intendent, requested that Main street
from Tenth to Twelfth South be sprin-
killed., since that thoroughfare is travelled
more than West Temple street, but the
prayer of the petitioner was denied.
Among the liquor licenses granted
was one to r, NJ. Gurnsey, who is about
to embark in the saloon business in the
thriving town of Bingham.
The board adjourned for a week.

IMPORTANT WATER CASE.
Hearing Begun Before Judge Nc
Carly at Provo Yesterday.


Especial Correspondence.)
Provo, April 17.-Today in the Fourth
district court, with Judge McCarty of the
Sixth district on the bench, the case of
Spanish Fork City ct al. VS.. the Spanish
Fork East Bench Irrigation Manufactlr-
ing company ct al, was begun. This
case is brought to determine the rights
of all who claim an interest in the waters
OF Spanish Fork river. Similar cases con-
corning the ownership of the waters of
this city have been tried before in this
court but all preceding cases have been
between q certain few claimants, while
this case includes every one who claims
any right in the stream whatsoever.
The plaintiffs case states that they and
the defendants, the Spanish Fork East

pany (other defendants being the Utah
Land < Livestock company and about
forty individually, by actual appropria-
ton and use by them have been the own
erS of the right to use a portion Of said

five inches in depth. That whenever the
waters of this stream receded in volume
to a quantity not exceeding twenty-five
inches in depth, weir measurement then
said plaintiffs and defendants above Men
toned directly are the owners of a right
to use all of said waters.
This water is divided per a certain ratio
between these respective owners, and as
the waters recede their shares become
smaller proportonateIy. That the de-
PENDANTS, mentioned above in parenthesls.
have for several years past, by means OF
dams and bitches constructed at divers
points above plaintiffs headsate, di-
verified large quantities of water from sand
river. to which plaintiffs are entitled.
Defendants assert adverse claims to the
plaintiffs as above stated.
This case will undoubtedly occupy the
attention of the court the whole or TINS
week, and is very important.
Some of the ablest legal talent in the
state are engaged on either side. Pla1ntlftS
are represented by Thurman & Corfman
the defendants by Judges Henderson,

Opposition By Pennington Men to
Proposed Road.
Especial Correspondence.


Pennington, April 1.-THE county COM
missioners were in session today with a
full board present The special order for
the day was the hearing on the petition
of George y. Hess and others asking that
Walker lane in Pennington, be opened
and made four rods wide. A protest had
been filed by Ezra 7. Clark and others,
and they were present to fight the grant
ing of the petition. The commissioners at
a previous session had decided to pur
chase from Ezra Clark the amount of
land necessary to make "a four-rod road,
and the county attorney had been order
ed, in case the purchase could not be
made on reasonable terms. TO institute
condemnation proceedings to secure the
land. The proteStants claimed that it
would be a useless expenditure of money
to buy or sue for the land. Both sides of
the case were heard at the morning ses-
sion, George A. Hess and Joseph Miller
appearing for the petitioners, and r. T.
Clark and Thomas Steed for the Opposi-
ton. After a full consideration of the
matter, the commissioners decided not 10
revoke their former order, and the matter
is now in the hands of the county attor-
ney, who viii negotiate for the land, and
will enter suit if it cannot be purchased.
