TAXPAYERS MASS MEETING
TO Discuss the Bond Issue Election
Tomorrow.

10 Discuss the Bond Issue Election
Tomorrow.
These who desire to be Informed as TO
what they will be called upon TO vote for
when they vote tomorrow for the issuance
OF $4,000 in bonds, should be present at
the taxpayers mass meeting tonight at
the city council chamber and hear Engi-
neer Potter explain the plan by which
Houston's present sewer system is TO be
diverted from Buffalo bayou and disposed
of in the future and for all time to come
by what is known as the liberation process
There are Two reasons why this change
OF Houstons present sewer system should
be made, either of which, taken independ-
emily, should be sufficiently potent to Sc
cure the issue of bonds for the purpose
without opposition.
One is that the change is made condl-
tion precedent to securing the aid OF the
general government in getting deep water
The other is that 1t VIII for all time
remove what has always been menace
to the health OF this community, viz; the
einptying OF the citys sewage Into the
bayou
A great many people are under the i'm
precision that the proposed plan OF sew
age disposal contempiates an entire change
in the cty's present sewer system, SO
it does, but only In the result. The pres
ent sewers will not be disturbed to that
extent that new connections VIII have
to be made. thus entailing an expense
upon the property holder, but nearly all
the present sewers will be used as a part
OF the proposed new system, the chief
change being that number of new sewer
lines will be placed in order TO make conf
plete the more elaborate and up-to-date
system. the details and benefits OF which
Mr.. Potter will fully explain at tonight'S
meeting. to which all voting taxpayers are
invited.

REMAINS OF MISS VAN SAINT
ARRIVED IN SALT LAKE YES
TERDAY AFTERNOON.
Accompanied By Miss Mary Lyon, a
Devoted Friend, From Port Said
Funeral This Morning.

On the afternoon train over the Short
Line yesterday. arrived Miss Mary
Lyon, accompanying the remains of
Miss Anna Van SAINT, the Pencil mis-
sionary to Port Said, Egypt.
AS has already appeared in the
columns of The Herald, Miss Van SAINT
died while on the steamer, en- route
Sunday, one day out from port.
Through the kindness of the captain,
her remains were tenderly borne to the
end of the journey, and arrived at New
York Tuesday.
Being met by friends and embalmed,
the body was shipped direct to Salt
Lake City, arriving here yesterday
afternoon. Tender solicitude and sister
ly devotion We're extended her friend
and associate by Mary Lyon, who
made the entire journey of nearly 1000
miles over sea and land, with the sick
and dying missionary. 49,
Miss Lyon is a native of Palestine.
and became a convert to Christianity
short time before meeting Miss Van
SAINT in Port Said. Miss Lyon had gone
to Port Said to meet her brother,
physician, who, was ON his way to
India, after finishing his course of study
in London. Becoming impressed with
the beautiful life and devotion to the
Arab children of AnnarVan SAINT, Miss
Lyon took her back to Jerusalem with
her for a respite from the trying labors
of the mission field, returning with her
to Port Said.
When Miss Van SAINT was compelled
to relinquish the work and start for
home to die, Miss Lyon at once decided
to accompany her, with the result, as
above stated. Miss Lyon speaks in
highest praise of the courtesies ex-
tended her and her friend by the of
ficers on board the vessel as also at the
port in New York and en- route to this
city.
The meeting of Mrs. Van SAINT and
the other members of the family with
the emaciated form of the beloved
daughter, sister and friend was most
pathetic. But the many expressions of
sympathy, as also the cheering re-
port of the self-sacrifice and devotion
of the deceased, proved a consolation
to the grief-strcken family.
Funeral services will occur this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock at the home of Mrs
Van SAINT on Fifth avenue, in East
Waterloo. Friends are invited to at

New Pastor of Hiff Methodist Church
Talks. Z
IS A FORCIBLE SPEAKER
LARGE CONGREGATION GREETs
MR.. SMITH.
His Theme Was the Removal of the
Soul From Marrow Spheres Into
Broader Fields of Usefulness
Text Taken From the Book of Job
Duty and Obligation.


Tiff Methodist church was crowded
yesterday morning by large congre-
cation, which had assembled to well
come Rev, j. A. Smith, the new pastor,
who delivered his initial sermon. When
it was announced some little time ago
that Mr.. Smith would assume the
passionate of the church much interest
was manifested because he is one of the
most distinguished .divines of the
Methodist church. His last charge was
at Sibley, Ia, but prior to that he was
missionary to Japan and China dur
ing the war between those two coun-
tries.
In the former country he was sta
toned at Yokohama and Toxic, and
in the latter at XIII Kiang and Chin
Kiang. His excellent work in the mis-
sionary field brought him to the notice
of the heads of his church and he was
warmly commended for his labors. Mr..
Smith is a married man. AT present
his family is at Evanston, Wyo., but
will come here to live within the next
week. The new pastor is man OF
commanding appearance, easy address
and a forcible speaker
His theme yesterday was the re-
moval of the soul out of marrow spheres
into the broader fields of usefulness,
and for his text he chose the sixteenth
verse of the thirty-sixth chapter of
Job, Even so would he have removed
thee out of the strait into a broad
place, where there is no straitness."
By way of introduction Mr. Smith said
that privilege implies duty, duty lays
upon us obligation, obligations are
Gods commands and our wants are the
profits of the larger realization in
Christ.
The first head or subject under which
the pastor began the development of
his theme was the narrow place. BY
this he meant the strait. He dwelt
upon the history of the Jewish race and
its gradual coming out of bondage and
the advent of Christ and the passing
away of Judaism. Then he cited our
own national history and showed the
storms that we had weathered as
nation. Our ultimate greatness he said
was the coming out of the strait.
Next Mr.. Smith took up the question
as to how out of the narrow placer
This he said was to be done by adj
justing ourselves to higher forces, and
by receiving strength from Christ.
The broad places he said We're where
love, liberty and power abounded. He
spoke of the dual force that impels
men to do great deeds A large faith,
he declared, demanded a large reward,
and large faiths are born of love, lib
erty and power. an
The offertory was sung by Mrs. Harry
Smith. Her selection was the Pill
grim. She will probably be engaged
as the soloist for the church.

HEBER BOY DROWNED.
Cloyd Donaldson Capsized From
Raft In River-Aid Too Late.
(special Correspondence.)

NOpeCidl OOIIcSpOIiQeHCe.j
Heber, Sept 10.-Cloyd C. Donaldson, a
13-year-old son of Mrs Lena Donaldson.
was drowned yesterday afternoon. Soon
after midday, Cloyd, in company with
two other boys. went to gather choke
cherries. They had not been berrying- very
long before they thought they would en-
joy bath in the river. at a place about
half a mile south of the bridge spanning
the river on the road between Heber and
Midway. While in the water, young Dom
oldson found a raft. and boy like,
climbed upon 1t. No sooner was the boy
on the raft than it capsized, precipitating
the boy into the water, with the raft
above him. The plunge must have been
too much for the little fellow, and it is
evident he suffered from strangulation.
as he failed to extricate himself from I'M
der the raft. No sooner did the other lit
tie boys see and realize the unfortunate
position of their companion and their
own inability to assist him, then they ran
off for help. The place where the acct
dent occurred is some distance from a
house or where anyone worked, and some
time elapsed before assistance was at
hand and the boy taken from the water.
Several men were notified of what had
happened and FASTENED to the place of
the accident. The boy was taken out
and medical aid called. 1t was too late,
however; the boy had been too long in
the water. The affair is a very sad one,
indeed The family is in straitened
Some time ago the moth
er of the unfortunate boy was obliged to
apply for a divorce from her husband.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
Progress of Kaysville-scarcity of
Teachers Continues.


kaysville. Sept. 10.-The new school
house in the northeast part of the Eighth
district is completed and ready for the
opening of school. 1t is a building SINH
lar in design to the three school buildings
that were erected in this district two
cost was about S1,10O Only the lower
grades will be taught in it. A special tax
of pa mills was levied this year TO meet
the expense of this Improvement.
The district schools are expected to
commence the seasons work tomorrow
morning, but there is a probability that
only nine of the twelve schools in this
district will be able to open. The trou-
bic is that. teachers cannot be found in
the county, and many of those who come
from other places are unable to pass an
examination in this county and hence are
disqualified from teaching 1t is reported
that of the ten who attempted to pass the
county examination last week, only one
was successful. though by doing addi-
tional work some others may receive GER
tificates. Owing to this scarcity of teach
ers, Superintendent Porter decided last
night o3hold a special examination next
Thursday and Friday at Pennington He
hopes to be able to find teachers enough
in that way to fill the eight vacancies in
the county.
A ninth grade school will be established
in IKaysville this year. with Principal E.

able students to receive high-School in

BIG STOCK DEALS.
Emery Man Buys Bunch of Sheep
Prices Improve.
(Specinl to The Herald.

tSpeClNI u ne f1eTdlQ.D
Price, Sept. 10.-G. T. Olsen. the Emery
merchant and stockgrower. has just closed
here another big sheep deal by which he
becomes the owner of some $500 head
more of stockers and for which he paid
David Kilpack of Emery county $1,000.
This lot, with 10000 more. will be run on
the range this winter in Emery county,
where the range, it is thought. will be
good. as that section, especially in the
San Rafael reef country. has had more
rain than the country further TO the
north. There are thousands of stock
sheep now feeding between Emery county
and Cotton. Owners are working their
flocks in the direction of the latter point
where they will be dipped before going on
the winter range.
w. T. Goshen of the firm of Goshen
Bros, Salt Lake City. has been here the
greater part of a week. looking out for
stock stuff. which he will. if he buys. send
onto the Colorado range. where he now
has about 10000 around Tennessee pass
Prices are stiffening up little here, and
it begins to look.-as If the local buyers
would get the most of the stuff that is
offered hereabouts.
