A NATURAL SANITARIUM.
What Scientific Observer Has to Say
About California.

Lieutenant John P. Findley, while IN
charge of the United States weather
bureau at San Francisco, contributed
an article to a prominent magazine on
the climatic conditions of California,
in which the following statement ap-
peared:
Theoretically, California should fur
nish the best and most varied health
resorts and sanitariums in the united
States. Within her borders almost
every form of wasting disease should
find the means OF temporary, noI
permanent relief
This theoretical statement, from an
unbiased, scientific standpoint, Is
abundantly confirmed by experience.
The cool and bracing coast climate.
devoid of any trace of malaria, extends
from the northern part of the state to
the extreme south There is the choice
between this cool, humid atmosphere
and the dry, warm atmosphere Of the
inland valleys -,
OF altitude there is a yet greater dlf-
ference. From Palm Valley, 300 feet
below sea level, to the upper Sierras,
1000 or 5000 above, any altitude can De
selected and comfortable homes De
founded.
The popularity of an almost rainless
summer, during which the injurious
germs of animal and vegetable uecdS
are destroyed by thorough desiccation,
is one of the striking features OF Cali
fornia climate.
During the rainy season it is usually
too cool to facilitate fermentation, and
the result is, except along some Of the
river valleys, an absolutely pure at
mosphere The ocean winds entering
through the several coast openings,
are tempered by the intermediate area
passed over, and often receive deSir-
able healing properties by taking up
the resinous odors of the pines and red
woods on the coast range
The skillful physician, acquainted
with the climatic conditions, should
find little difficulty in selecting a To-
cality where climate and environment
will do all that these agencies can
ever do toward the restoration of
health. There is enough of wildnesS to
keep the mind constantly engaged, and
enough of civilization to satisfy the
most exacting.
People whose systems are charged
with malaria, or are run down" by
overwork, find immediate and in many
cases permanent relief in this invigor-
ating climate.

MRS, FERGUSON WANTS DIVORCE
SEQUEL TO THE COTTONWOOD
ADULTERY CASE.
Have Been Married Thirty Years and
Have Thirteen Children = Hus-
band Accused of Cruelty.

The sequel to the recent Simpson
yesterday when Mrs. Mary Jane Fer
guson, who was alleged to have had
illicit relations with Simpson, filed suit
for divorce from her husband, Isaac
Ferguson of South Cottonwood.
The Simpson case attracted much at
tention in the courts two weeks ago.
Mr. Ferguson had George Simpson ar
rested on a charge of intimacy with his
wife, and after a lengthy trial Simp-
son was discharged. The suit of Mrs.
Ferguson followed as a natural Sc
quence.
In her complaint, Mrs. Ferguson
states that her husband owns real es-
tate in South Cottonwood valued at
$500, and personality of the value of
$1,415, all of which was acquired since
her marriage to Ferguson, and by her
help and assistance. She says that
they were married on May 90, 1868, and
have thirteen children, the eldest 90
and the youngest years of age.
The grounds of Mrs. Ferguson'S COM
plant are extreme cruelty. She states
that her husband on different dates
called her all kinds of vile names, and
repeatedly struck her and knocked her
down. She likewise states that he has
accused her of committing adultery
with five different men, and that
against one of these men, George Simp
son, he brought charges and had him
arrested. The trial, she states, resulted
in Simpsons acquittal.
For all of these reasons, Mrs. Fergu-
son asks divorce, the custody of her
minor children. a setting of a portion
of her husbands property for her use,
and permanent alimony as syell
She asked likewise for a restraining
order to prevent her husband from dis
posing of any of his property pending
the settlement of the case. Judge Hiles
issued the restraining order prayed for,
making it returnable June 20.

TO BOND CARBON COUNTY.
Warrant-Holders Bringing Pressure
On Commissioners.
Especial Corresnondencs,


Price, May 30.-When Utah became a
state one of the first acts of the legis-
iature was a law that the Indebtedness Of
counties up to Jan. 4, 1896. might be liqui-
dated by issuing bonds TO the amount of
warrants then outstanding. Most all the
counties or the state have disposed of
such Indebtedness at that time in this
manner. Carbon county has so far neg
lected to bond, though the order TO do so
was made at d full board meeting OF the
commissioners in session Oct. L. 1885.
There are some thirty-iive hundred dol
lars out. represented by county warrants
that draw per cent interest. and unless
some action is taken in the near future,
several suits are likely to be undertaken
by holders of this paper TO force the pres
ent board of commissioners to act. Rep
reSentatiVe taxpayers are anxious that
the matter be settled up, for the reason
that it will cut down interest charges.
The matter, il would appear. has been
allowed TO drag along more from neglect
10 act than a desire TO avoid payment. 1t
Is understood interested parties will pre-
sent the matter at the next meeting of
the board in July
