ART AND PLENTY.
Splendid Display of Christmas Good
Things at the Tithing Office.

In these days OF Christmas trade and
competition there is much friendly rlv-
airy between business houses and firms,
who are seeking public patronage. a
pleasing feature Of the invitation to
personal fancies and appetites is the
artistic effort at arrangement and dec
grafton In the display Of goods. Few
lines Of edbles afford better opportun-
ity for pleasing display than meats.
That is evidenced in many shops, but
particularly so at the Tithing Office
butcher shop, where the we'll rounded
and fattened forms Of sheep and kline
and nogs and poultry cover the walls
from floor to ceiling. Evergreens and
other Christmas decorations add ma
terially to the picturesqueness Of the
scene.
The Bshopric Of the Church took par
ticular pleasure today in pointing out
the superiority of the exhibit from the
fact that the best portions OF II came
from animals raised on the Church
Farm. The carcass Of a 1000 pound
Devon COW was as fine as anything ever
seen on the local market. Four one
year-old dressed hogs tip the scales
at a little more than 1900 pounds. while
a porker of the same age raised by
Bishop Burton reaches the i6s pound
notch. A spring lamb weighs 70
pounds and 20 muttons average S2is
pounds.
The butcher shop is pleasngly pre-
sided over by William II. Culver and
the produce and mercantile depart
ments. which are constantly becoming
better are under the uniting and faith
full supervision Of Joseph Keddinton.

Charles H, Schwed Removed from
the City to the County Jail.
BIAS CUT UP MANY ANTICS.
Il tho uau who Made Things Lively
Around the DOoIy CLOCK somc
Time Ago.

Poor, -demented, wild-eyed
Charles II. Schwed was today taken
from the vile old city jail to the county
Jail.
Tomorrow morning the little Ger
man will be tried for insanity and,
without doubt be committed to the
asylum at Provo.
The career of the unfortunate man
during the last few weeks Is decidedly
interesting.
Schwed has been a regular attendant
at the police court for upwards Of five
years, but 1t is not certain that that
is the cause Of his state Of non compos
mentis.
Schwed first sprang into prominence
about four weeks ago by going into
room in the Dooly building and trying
to turn himself into a cyclone. He
smashed the windows, tore up the cur
tains and when a SQUAD Of stalwart
policemen arrived on the scene was en-
gagged In frescoing the walls and ceiling
with couple Of quarts OF ink. Judge
Timmony discharged him but In less
than five hours he was again In the
clutches OF the law. II appears that he
entered room In Mrs Meyers lodging
house and repeated his Dooly building
performance with numerous ammend-
ments. The night following his arrest
he smatted Mike Boyle terrific blow
over the left optic with bottle Of
linament. II is said that Schwed was
not at all TO blame for this act. Nike
was caught drinking the linament
thinking II was whisky. When Deputy
Sheriff Sam Dowse called al the sta
ton 10 take him TO the county Jail,
Schwed was asked why he broke things
up. Said he. II am all time annoyed
by dot telephone company py de ring
ing OF pells in my ear. Dey say to me
that some mems is all under my ped
trying to tie my legs undt / hove no
time TO think at all
MY life is in danger and no time to
wash my feet"
Schwed has a brother in California
who has been sending him SIS month,
but since last September has heard
nothing from him.
