I'VE respectfully represent that the
problem of irrigation should occupy a
prominent place in the consideration
and deliberations of your honorable
body. We call your attention to the
accumulation of money and securities
belonging to the public schools of
Utah. and submit that the investment
OF the same in reservoirs, dams, ETC.,
built as public works and owned by
the state, would be absolutely safe. and
would increase largely the ability of
our citizens to profitably cultivate
large areas of land now without water,
and. in addition, would produce large

EPISCOPAL QUARREL AT DENVER
Controversy Between Bishop spalding
and Dean Hart.

St. Louis. Jan. 31.-A council of concilia-
ton to decide a question at issue be-
tween Bishop John Franklin Spalding of
Colorado and Dean Martin Hart of St.
Johns cathedral of Denver. five Protes-
tant Episcopal bishops of dioceseS con-
tiguous to that of Colorado met here to-
day.
Those present are Bishops NJ NJ Gill
bert Of Minnesota, Z. r. Atwill of West
Missouri, A. G. Garrett of Dallas. Tex. ::
F. r. Millspaugh of Kansas and d. S.
futile of st. Louis. The last named is
acting as chairman OF the council.
The difficulty to be arbitrated began
thirteen years ago over the disposition of
81, 800. raised by Dean Hart on an eastern
lecture tour. il was claimed by Dean
Hart that the money was paid on a 81
000 mortgage on Jarvis hail, now the
house of nurses for st. Luke's hospital in
Denver. Bishop Spalding denied any
knowledge of this. although a banker Of
Denver claimed that the money had been
paid to him in the bishops presence. As
a result of the disagreement Bishop
Spalding has refrained from visiting the
cathedral. as required by the law of the
church. To settle the matter Bishop
Spalding asked for the council, which
today began reading the written testi-
mony presented. Neither Bishop Spald-
ing nor Dean Hart is present.

paid to J. II. Griffin under a contract

CITY AND COUNTY OF SALT LAKE.
I beg TO call your attention to the
fact that the business of the county of
Salt Lake and the business of the city
OF Salt Lake are by the nature of
things to a large extent almost insep-
arabiy connected, and still we have
two separate and distinct governments
with full sets of officers employed to
carry on the affairs of the respective
government This, it seems to me, is
a. most unnecessary expense, and works
great hardships upon the taxpayers of
the city. The citizens of this city are
forced to pay a. very large proportion
Of the taxes of the county, about so per
cent, amounting this year to over S140,-
OOO, and receives in return but trifing
advantages when compared with the
large amount of taxes collected.
In some other places consolidation of
city and county governments have
been made with mutual benefit to both,
and other cities and counties are NOV
ing in the direction of consolidation.
Why can it not be done here? 1 offer
this thought merely as a suggestion for
the members of the council, and other
citizens to consider, with the hope that
in the near future conclusion may be
reached and a plan elaborated through
which a consolidation may be effected
that would be mutually beneficial, I'M
der the title of the city and county of
Salt Lake. If this suggestion meets
your approval it may be possible that
the work can be so far matured, as to
justify asking the assistance of the leg
islature to authorize the consolidation |
to take effect when the terms of the |
present county officers shall expire.
The annual reports for the year 1898, |
of the heads Of the several departments |
of the city government are herewith !
submitted, which show in detail the /
working of their respective officers.
l respectfully recommend that these /
be printed for the benefit of those who |
desire more particulars than are given
in this necessarily condensed state
ment. Respectfully submitted,
JOHN CLARK, Mayor.

MAN WITH TWO FAMILIES.
Life Insurance Must Be Divided Be-
tween Them.

Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 31-A decision
rendered by the supreme court brings
to light another story of one man with
two families. Richard c. Combs died
in 1889 and left two families, one in
Burlington and one in Wichita, Kan
The Burlington family was the legiti-
mate one, but Combs had maintained
both for twenty years and lived most
of the time, just prior to his death,
with the Kansas woman and three
children, whom he recognized. Her
name was Miss a. c. Bum Combs,
who was a travelling man, had a policy
of life insurance for $4,000 in the Iowa
Legion of Honor. The money was paid
to the Burlington family and suit was
begun by the guardian of the Kansas
children to recover from the Burlington
family or the Legion of Honor, the
mother of the Kansas chi,.ren having
died The court holds that the Bur-
hngton family must divide with the
Kansas children. since their father
recognized them as his.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectual Cure For 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or bloat-
ing sensation after eating, accompan-
led sometimes with sour or watery ris-
ings, formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs, and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general
played-out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the inter
ior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, infamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily.
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment ana irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces OF the stomach. To
secure 4 prompt and healthy digestion
IS the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have dis
appeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal, tablet, composed of Di-
aStase, Asepuc Pepsin, a little Nux
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab
lets can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets ana not being a patent medi-
cine can be used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow their
regular use after meals.
Mr.. n. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, Ills, writes: "Catarrh
is a local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane Of the nose becomes
inilamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach
without cure, but today l am the hap
piest of men after using only one box

my good feeling. 7 have found flesh,

est preparation as well as the simplest

ENCOUNTER OF RAILROAD MEN
T. A. NASH AND ALEXANDER
MITCHELL THE PRINCIPALS.
Only One Blow Struck, and That
Was By Mr. Mitchell-The Stories
of Both Sides.

F. A. Nash and Alex Mitchell met in
a fistic encounter yesterday afternoon
at the Knutsford hotel, a fact which
will be no surprise TO local railroad
men. Mitchell struck the first and last
blow. a hard one in the face, when the
men were separated.
About a year ago Mr.. Mitchell was
the general agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad in this city,
and Mr.. Nash was and is general west
ern agent for the same road, with head
quarters at Denver. Mitchell lost his
position, as he claims, through the in
strumentality of Nash, and has since
threatened TO whip Nash the first
chance that presented. According to
MitchelPs story, Nash has continued TO
antagonize him, has tried TO throw
him down on many occasions, and he
claims TO have in his possession CORE
spOndence TO prove this. Acting under
this, Mitchell recently brought suit
againeE Nash for defamation of char
acteT in the sum of $4,000, two causes
of $1,000 each.
Yesterday, il seems, was the first Op-
pOrtunity for personal service of papers
in the case, and Mitchell went TO the
Knutsford and found Nash in the office.
The two sat down together and en-
tered into a warm discussion of the
case Mitchell asked Nash if the papers
had boen served on him, to which the
lat, er replied in the negative. Mitchell
says that after some further disagree
ment Nash said, You know you're ly-
ing" whereupon the blow was struck.
Mr.. Nash denies that he has done
anything against his former employee,
but says that if ne was discharged it
was his own fault. Mr.. Nash is a man
about SO years old, and one of the most
popular railroad men in the west. Mr..
Mitchell is a relative of the principal
owners of the Milwaukee road.
The affair was the chief topic of dis
cussiCn among railroad men yester-
day, most of whom have expected
something of the kind for a long while
1t is not likely any arrests will be made.
Mr. Nash left for the east last even
ing.
