This Clock Is a wonder.

Joseph Jensen. a cloclmaker, of
Richfield, Utah, has Just completed an
interesting clock, which, besides strik-
ing the hours, halves and quarters
and showing the phases Of the moon,
tells what time it Is in every city in
tho world. This is done by means of
. globe which revolves within q trans
parent globular glass. On this glass
Is marked a line representing Ia
o'clock noon, and as the globe revolves
this line Is always directly over that
part Of the world where it is noon at
that time. There are other lines rep
resenting the different hours, and In
this way It is very simple matter to
get the exact time at any given plaza.

Hiram was so young and of such

unnecessary, for in skirmish with

OF the American War with

king to abdicate on June 16, which is
the birth anniversary of tho crown
prince. Gustaf is the most unpopular
member of the royal family. If the
election OF king were left to the peo-
pie the choice would undoubtedly fall
on Prince Karl. the third son Of Oscar
III. Gustaf is very radical in his concep-
lions of the correct policy toward Nor

opposed TO the late action of the king
in recalling Swedish officers from the
sister country at the request of the
Norwegians.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
At Bucyrus, Refuses to Let
Church to Anti-SalOOn
League For Meeting.

A representative of the anti-saloon
league was prohibited the use of the
Presbyterian pulpit at Bucyrus, Sunday
and interesting developments are ex-
pected. The league had arranged to
occupy all the pulpits OF Bucyrus and
all other churches had consented. The
announcement was made through the
press that the Presbyterian pulpit
would also be turned over to the league
but hasty meeting Of the session was
called and it was decided that the
league was political organization, and
as such should not be allowed to con-
taminate the pulpit. Rev. Mr.. McCas-
lin was of a different opinion and at the
morning service he reviewed the mat
ter under discussion, announced the
decision Of the session. and dismissed
the congregation, saying he was not
prepared to preach a sermon under the
circumstances. He announced that
Rev. Mr.. Baker would occupy the pull
pit of another church in the interest of
the league and would advise all his
congregation to go and hear him. The
congregation was then dismissed with
out a semblance of service. The ses-
sion was surprised. and not at all
pleased and 1t Is thought that the end
Is not yet.

A Local Bridge Plant That Joined The
Trust Some Time Ago.
IT WAS EXPECTED TO CLOSE.
But the Appointment Probably Is Con.
elusive That the shops Will Remain
In This City and Con
tinue Running as
Before.

1t is believed to have been conclusively
settled that the plant of the Wrought
Iron Bridge company will remain in
this city. A telegram received in this
city Thursday evening points to this
result During the past week Mr.. John
r. Reed, formerly connected with the
Canton Bridge company, has been in
New York city in conference with the
trust officials. A telegram was received
from him Thursday evening by a rela-
tive stating that he had been appointed
manager of the local plant. He also
said that he would return home on
Sunday morning from the east. The
natural conclusion therefore is that the
trust expects to retain the local plant
and keep it in operation as in the past,
with possible extensions, for the pur-
pose of production.
The Wrought Iron Bridge company
has facilities for manufacturing such
bridge and structural iron work that
many other plants have not got The
extensive grounds surrounding the
shops and the modern machinery prob
ably caused the trust officials to give
the plant their favorable consideration
at this time. This will be matter Of
intense interest to the hundreds of en-
ployes who had vague rumors of the
shops being closed down or removed.
In fact the board of trade at a re-
cent meeting appointed expressed the
hope that the shops would be permitted
to remain here, and one of the COM
mittees was specially instructed to meet
the members Of the trust who were ex-
pected to come to this city and entertain
them and at the same time broach the
question of keeping the shops here.

News From The
Courts.

The law suit Of Dannemiller & Sons
VS.. Henry Leonard was finished in
Judge McCarty's court Thursday even
ing and the case given to the jury.
After being out till about o'clock the
Jury came in and rendered a verdict for
the plaintiff for 5000. The suit was for
over $500. Besides a note on Dominick
Tyler, Leonard owed nearly 5000 on a
book account. He never disputed this
and paid the cash into court for 1t long
ago but he refused to pay the note Of
Tyler. The verdict is practically vic
tory for Leonard as the plaintiffs got
nothing for the note and only the cash
on the account.
This case was tried before and re-
suited about the same way. 1t was
taken to circuit court and the circuit
court set aside the verdict and granted
a new trial on account Of the admission
of some evidence about a conversation
held over a telephone, the court hold
ing that it was not competent.
