WANTS NEW SYSTEM.
Auditor Swan Suggests Method Of
Keeping Books

City Auditor Swan, in a lengthy
communication TO the city council last
evening, called attention to the imper-
feet system of keeping accounts. and
asked for authority to put into effect a
new and more correct system. The
faults complained ABOUT consist mainly
of absence of data showing value of
city property and failure of depart
ments to report segregated items in
dicating maintenance charges apart
from cost of plants. In order that the
true financial condition of the city may
be constantly shown, the. auditor rec
commended that old ledger accounts for
public improvements aggrega ting
LIS. 29S, debit, and $47S.S sos, the credit
side, be closed.
The communication was referred TO
the finance committee.

The sentiment in favor of the new cir.

more business than one judge can, or
should be expected to attend to. Sen
ator Shoup of Idaho has already intro
duced a measure in the upper house of
congress creating the district
At the. meeting of the state bar,
which was decided on last night, it is
probable that Senator Rawlins will be
asked to assist Senator Shoup in Sc
curing the passage of the bill at this
session. Such other means of hurrying
the proposition as may be suggested
will also be discussed and adopted, If
practicable.

MUST GO TO PRISON.
Young Mexican Bank Clerk Who
Stole $4,000.

City of Mexico. Dec. 12--Santiago
Morphy, young man of good family,
who was a trusted clerk of the Ma
tional Bank of Mexico. and robbed it of
$40, 900, has been sentenced, after a
long trial. TO nine years in prison
The case attracted much attention,
for Morphy fled after the robbery to the
United States, was caught by American
detectives in New Orleans and escaped
from Mexican officers sent to bring him
back here, and was finally rearrested in
Kansas City. Influence had been
brought to bear to save Morphy from
his fate, but the law took its course.

Most persons have in some way
been led to believe that every other
man in Utah has two or more wives"
said l.. T. Winston of Chicago, at the

Clever Idea.

IT has been mystery and conun-
drum to the average man for some
little time how women die without
pockets, and also wonder to the
aforesaid man why women did not lose
more of these flinsy creations called
handkerchiefs than they did, for it was
q marvel to them how the women man
aged handkerchiefs, pocketbooks and
bundles, held up their skirts, carried
oftentimes an umbrella, and only had
the one pair of hands fer this rather
complicated performance. For some
time past the women have endeavored
to solve the problem Of doing more
than one thing at a time, and have
utilized their pocketbooks for the pur-
pose Of carrying their handlIerchlefs,
TO the great detriment Of the former
and the very untidy condition Of the

So long as womankind INDUCES In
pie and takes midnight lunches or
salad and cocoanut pudding and pick
les, and dear heaven only knows what,
just so long will the facial eruptions
flourish with high hand and bring
tears of agony to pretty eyes. It's
funny thing to me why women will
not understand that it is deal easier
to have beautiful complexion by put
ting proper food into their stomach
than it is to doctor bad skins with vari-
Gus lotions and cosmetics, says the
Philadelphia Times. Simple digestible
food makes a good, pure blood, and If
the blood is in good condition there
will be no poisonous matter to be
thrown off through the pores Of the
skin. Let fruit and vegetables pre-
dominate in your diet, take daily
sponge bath and exercise in the open
air, for exercise helps to keep the d.
gestion active-the cure for half the
beauty ailments to which femininity
falls heir. Scrupulous cleanliness
not only the face itself, but of the en-
tire body-is absolutely necessary. A
simple lotion like listerine-which is
soothing and healing-and applications
of creme marquise or any other harm
less, homemade cosmetic. should put
the finishing touches to the good work.

A Riddle.

Riddle.
Which OF the twain did the woman love!
To one she stopped and sighed
To the other She turned with hand and
smile:
And they lived and loved her, and died.
And the woman grew as the flowers do,
In the vale of holy pride.
The one brought hither a glorious dream
of the pure. and the good. and the
great,
or nobler race than the commonplace.
And seliiess law in the state.
But the gay dream broke, and the man
awoke.
And then he learned to hate.
And the other knew not but the law of
self,
And the windy desert of scorn.
TIL he saw there grew flower or two,
Oh! rose In the patches of thorn;
And he learned to feel that he needs must
kreel,
And found a mirth in the morn.
Which of the twain did the woman love?
Now slghs and smiles be sped?
Which of the twain, In the sun and rain,
Was after her heart-or head?
Or hath she lied, In the valley of pride,
That both her lovers be dead?

Rural free delivery is all right in its

The sentiment in favor of govern
ment ownership is growing rapidly.
Let it grow. The sooner the principle
is adopted the better. Then there will
be cheaper utilities, better paid and

and slave drivers would suffer by the
change, but they have had the run OF
things long enough. 1t is merely

The land values of the city of New
