vision that the trustees raise 100000.

toward the doctors salary for a period
OF two years in the event of his accepts
ance.
The selection of DIR. Noble was be-
cause OF his eminent fitness for the du-
ties of the position. He has been for
the past few years president of the
New West educational commission, the
function of which is to direct the edu-
cational interests of the various acaa-
emieS under the auspices of the Con-

ferred to, as is the Proctor academy OF
Provo.
The Rev. W. S. Hunt. late president
of the college. succeeded in raising
s35, 900 of the 100000 designated by DR..
Pearson, and it will be one of the first
duties of the new president to devote
his energies to raising the remaining
$65. 900.
DIR. Noble has for some time been re-
garded as one of the most cultured
and eloquent of Chicago's divines,
classed by many with such men as
DR.. Frank W. Gunsaulus, and DR.. Hill
lis, who has recently assumed charge
of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, so long
presided over by Henry Ward Beecher-

Lake college that with the scholarly
endowments possessed by DR.. Noble
that institution will enter upon new
sphere of usefulness.

MT. PLEASANT WH|TECAPPtRS
GIDDY YOUNG MAN GIVEN A
ROUGH HANDLING.
With Rope About His Neck He Pro-
missed to Mend His Ways, But
Now Threatens Suit.
Especial Correspondence.)


Mt. Pleasant, Aug. ga young man
of this city. who has been married a
couple Of years, and who has not been
as attentive TO his wife of late as seems
proper and desirable-who has, in fact,
almost entirely abandoned her to her
own devices for securing a livelihood
for herself and child-and who has been
paying improper attention to young
unmarried ladies, was treated quite
roughly by band of whitecappers one
night this week.
The victim of the mob's wrath was
taken from the house where he was
on the evening mentioned. placed in a
buggy and, surrounded by the mob of
young citizens, taken down near the
railroad yards in the lower part of
town. Here a rope was placed around
his neck and. by several very sugges-
tive jerks, he was given to understand
that his tormenters were in earnest.
His conduct in the past was shown up
to him and the strongest promises ex-
torted from him that the future would
see change in his actions, as was de-
manded. After giving him a bad scare
and securing the desired promises, the
crowd released him and dispersed.
1t is understood the victim contem-
plates taking legal action against the
leaders of the mob, as they made no
attempt whatever to disguise them
selves, and nearly all are well known
by their victim. If he should decide
to take this action an interesting re-
suit may be looked for.

IDAHO BOYS WELCOME
Delegation of Officials Go to Meet
Volunteers.
SENATOR SHOUP'S MISSION
WANTS SOLDIERS, MUSTERED
OUT AT PoCATELLo.
Most Desirable Point For a Grand
Demonstration and Citizens Are
Anxious to Give the Boys Proper
Reception-Win Be Entertained at
San Francisco.

Senator George L. Shoup, Lieutenant
Governor Joseph H. Hutchinson and
wife and Miss Margie Hutchinson, Hon.
Z. NJ. Arbuckle, fish and game warden,
and l.. w. Johnson Of the Overland no.
tel, Boise, were a delegation from Idaho
yesterday in the city, en- route to San
Francisco to join Governor Steunen-
berg in welcoming tie Idaho volunteers,
| about 500 in number, on their arrival
at the Golden Gate.
Senator Shoup said that Idaho had a
royal welcome awaiting her soldier boys
when they reached the state, and that
the Idaho delegation TO San Francisco
would see that they were properly
taken care of there when they landed.
We do not know what the plans are
about the route they will take in re-
turning from California to Idaho" said
| the senator, but our party is going TO
meet the boys and try and have them
return via Pocatello. The governor of
Idaho mas asked the railroads to quote
them rate via Portland and the Ore
gon Railway & Navigation company,
but if that route is selected it will be
impossible to get the volunteers all to-
gether for a reception. The people of
Boise and the people of Pocatellu are
ready and anxious to give the boys a
great reception, and the people of the
various cities and towns in the state
stand ready to assist in making the &C.
casion the biggest one in the history of
Idaho.
"Pocatello is the best railroad center
in the state, and the citizens of that
place are very DESTROYS of having the
soldiers come direct there in body
from San Francisco, and have made
big preparations to entertain them.
Biose is also anxious to receive the sol
diers, but Boise people are willing to
come to Pocatello and assist in giving
them a great reception. Then, If the
boys are willing to go on to Boise, an
other great time viii greet them in
that city. Our party will advise the
boys to vote to muster out at Pocatello,
because if they do that they will all
be together in, one body. and the citi-
zens from all sections of the state can
easily participate in the great reception
that Pocatello would extend.
The question is one for the troops
to answer themselves. and arrange
ments cannot be perfected until we
have ascertained their wishes. We
leave tonight for San Francisco, as Ma
jor General Shafter wired me this af-
ternoon that he expected the transport
Grant, on which the Idaho troops are
returning. would reach there tomorrow
night or Monday morning"

Pat Donan Gives His Impressions
On the Salt Palace.

Yesterday was "Children's Day" al
the Salt Palace, and the little ones who
were admitted to the grounds free. had
complete possession. Several thousand
children were on hand and enjoyed
themselves hugely during the after
noon. The peanut, popcorn, lemonade
and refreshment stands gathered in
many a nimble nickel from Juvenile
patrons. and the Midway possessed
many charms for them and was
thronged all of the afternoon. All OF
the attractions made the admission half
price to the small folks, and were well
patronized during the afternoon, but
the great drawing cards were the baby
lions at the Hagenback animal show,
Dorm Friday; Major Mite, the tiny lit
tie man, and the miniature railway The
latter was crowded at every trip, and
the children stood waiting their turns
for a ride. The cars of the train will
accommodate fifteen or twenty at a
trip. and all day long the crowd of
children in waiting for a chance to

We're the star attraction. 1t is not usual
to put new born carnivorous animals
on exhibition for at least a week after
their birth, as the mother is liable TO

fearing that her young will be taken

This is the nature of the lionesses and
tigresses, and is not an infrequent re-
suit when their young are exposed to
public view.
1t was not the intention of Manager
Monday to exhibit his new pets for
several days. but his juvenile visitors
were so clamorouS for a sight of the
little lions that he gave way to their
opportunities and opened the blinds of
the cage containing them and allowed
them to be gaZed upon. Sultana. the
mother, took the matter very good ma
turedly and seemed proud of the at
tention that she and her family at
tracted- She made no trouble and the
young lions remained on public exhi-
bition all day.
The Streets of Cairo" congress of
nations, Holtun, the cannon ball catch
er; the cinemstagraph and all the
shows on the ground received their
share of patronage.
The Palace itself is now about COM
plete and only needs a few finishing
touches here and there. At night there
was good attendance, and people are
enthused at the beautiful sight the Pal
ace presents at night under the thou
sands of electric lights.

The claim is based on a Judgment Sc
cured in the Sixth district court of

BOARD WILL BUY OWN BONDS
SCHOOL TRUSTEES WILL INVEST
$4,000 IN THIS WAY.
Cancellation of Pacific Lumber Com
pany's Contract Left to Commit
tee-Labor Unions Letter.

All the members of the board of edu-
cation except Walker. Critchlow. Hen
derson and Young attended the special
meeting held yesterday to consider the
cancellation of the Pacific Lumber
company's contract for building the
Emerson school annex. After some dis
cussion of the matter it was decided TO
leave the whole thing TO the discretion
of the committee on buildings and
grounds.
A letter from a committee of local
union No. 1S4, of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners, was
read. 1t stated that the reason the
company had been unable to secure
carpenters was that it had refused to
abide by the rules of the union, and
that it wouldn't ray the standard scale
of wages. The k-ter went to the COM
mittee on buildings and grounds.
The recommendation OF the finance
committee that the board purchase
fourteen school bonds of the denomina-
ton OF $1,000 each at a total cost in
Guiding principal and interest of
s14,651.93, was approved and the money
appropriated to pay for them. The
Pacific Lumber company was allowed
$3.50 on its contract and other ap-
preparations made brought the total to
81, 449.43.
Superintendent Cooper and Secretary
Moreton were authorized to solicit bids
and award a contract for printing nee
essary blanks and the course of study
for the coming year.
After the board adjourned a letter
came in from Colonel NJ. NJ. Kaighn Of
the G. a. r. calling attention to the eff
forts being made to secure the national
encampment of that organization for
1900 for Salt Lake, and asking that in
the event the efforts Were successful,
the board throw the school buildings
open to the veterans for lodging places
II was informally agreed that the re-
quest be granted.

AN ENGINEERING FEAT.
Chief Engineer o'Mulveney's Opinion
of the Salt Palace.


Chief Engineer O'Melveney of the
Oregon Short Line, who visited the Salt
Palace the other day, thinks its con-
struction is 4 notable achievement.
Much praise is due to the builders of
the Salt Palace" said he. When one
knows the amount of money il has cost
TO date, he stands and wonders how
they accomplished 50 much in so short
a time. The architectural treatment a =
Il whole is bold and beyond criticisms
the acoustic properties are perfect
remarkable achievement when the
height of the hall as against other small
dimensions is considered. The fact that
with the exception of the decorative
painting of the dome. all the work and
architectural effects have been accom-
plished with home labor. should add
to its attractiveness ana bring forth
praise and admiration for our Salt Lake
talent, of which we are all justly proud
The most interesting feature to an
engineer is the construction of the
dome, which is certainly unique in de-
sign and reflects great credit upon Ar
chitect Kletting. who in this particular
construction has done something that is
not equalled in a dome of this size in
(he United States, and by his ingenuity
r has rendered possible what otherwise
would have been impossible-a Salt
Palace this year. Steel for this work,
this year, would have been out of the
question, and his design OF wood is
both novel and ingenious and worthy
OF special study and comment"

HOW 1T STRUCK DOMAIN.
Famous Writer'S Impressions On Salt
Lakes Salt Palace.

Colonel p. Donan, whose marvellous
fund Of adjectives has given him world
wide fame, whose travels have compre-
hended the globe, and whose eyes have
rested on more novel sights than even
his facile pen can describe within any
reasonable limit OF time, was a visitor
TO the Salt Palace last week, and the
following is his interview with the
management, giving his impressions of
Utah's great show:
This is a region of marvels, a land
of miracles, where only the ordinary or
the commonplace is astonishing. Your
Dead Sea is one CT the wonders of the
world. Your mingling of snow-capped
mountains and salt, salt sea, 1000 miles
inland, is unmatched upon the globe.
Your transformation of the alkali desert
of half century ago into the blooming
garden of the gods of today-of the des-
olate wilderness Of then, into the
populous and prosperous common
wealth Of now-iS one of the miracles
OF human history. Nothing surprises
one here except what he would natur-
ally expect anywhere else.
Your Salt Palace, with all its attend
ant attractions, would be a decidedly
pretentiouS affair in any place of Salt
Lakes size-except Salt Lake. 1t would
be creditable to any other city of 25G, 900
people. The main building with it's
dazzle of 1900 electric lights flashing
and sparkling on its saline jeweled
walls, every salt crystal blazing like
a gem, is as beautiful as a fairy's
dream. The architect was a genius: but
then genius abounds in Zion. city of the
Temple and the Tabernacle, the great
organ and choir, of Dallin and Daynes
and Maud Adams.
The surrounding park when you get
all the improvements finished, scaffold-
ing and lumber piles cleared away. the
roads and strollirg paths graveled and
bordered, and things generally put in
shape, will be a pleasure ground worthy
of any city in the Union. The bicycle
track is one of the finest l have ever
seen, and by roofing in the ampitheatre
with corrugated iron or some such ma
terial. you can readily convert il into a
convention hall rivaling the most IA
nous auditOriums of the country.
THE side shows-for 1 don't know
what else to call them-are generally
good. and taken altogether it forms a
place of resort not without interest
even TO one who has seen the world I
hope you may succeed in making it a
permanent and growing institution. but
please ask the architect or decorator of
the exquisite dome. for me, why. in ar
ranging his grand constellation of silver
sisters, he put Oregon between Arizona
and Washington instead of between
