Last Tuesday june 5th at 2 >. m.
Miss Anna White, aged IA years,
daughter of Edward and Sarah
White, died In this city, leaving her
sorrOwing parents and dear sister.
The Young lady remarkable by her
true piety and religious deportment
had won the love and esteem of the
whole community. Her dear pastor
who thoroughly knew her, called
her soul the living sanctuary of
Gods grace and the ornamented re
ceptacle of heavenly innocence.
The mortal remains were carried
to their last resting place Thursday
June 7th, among vast cOncourse
of people. SOlem requiem highmass
was sung by the Rev. Father Van
der Donckt Of Pocatello, who also
made an impressive and forcible
IuneraI Grafton, whilst the pastor,
Rev. Hendrickx played and sung
the solemn funeral Mass of the old
Gregorian music never heard in this
city before. The sympathy of the
whole city is extended to the father,
mother and sister in this sad hour
of bereavement.
''Blessed are the pure in heart for
they shall see God" Matt. 5, s.

no lie and sheis without spot before
the throne Of God and will follow
the Lamb whithersoeyer he goeth.

Perished on the Desert.

The body of Attorney J. p.
Walsh has been found across the
Green river, at point about thirty
miles south Of Jensen, he apparent
,1y having died of thirst.
Mr.. Walsh left Vernal ten days
ago, to go to Mr.. COTS ranch on
White river. lie left with an old
mule hitched to cart, but had
never been heard of since by his
Vernal friends. The belief was
general that he lost his way after
crossing Green river at the Jensen
ferry and had persisted on the desert.
This belief was later confirmed by
Mr.. James Hacking, who reports
having seen the tracks of q cart
among the sage brush and shad
scale on the dead Man Flat. y The
tracks took no general direction,
but wound about over the desert
and through the brush. While Mr..
Hacking's curiosity was aroused
he didn't think of any person being
lost there, SO didn't follow the trail
up. That was nine days ago and
there could be nothing surer thar
that Mr.. Walsh persisted of thirst
on the desert. He had never reach
ed the Golf ranch, for which h,
started. Mr.. Golf himself came il
last week and when asked about Mr.,
Walsh was surprised to learn tina,
he had started on bis intended visit.

had neither heard nor seen anything

the ferry on Green river and the
gravest apprehension was felt con
corning him. AS before said the
general belief was that he persisted
miserably on the desert. The cOun-
try was comparatively new to him
and he could easily be confused and
lost by taking the wrong trail, Of
which there are many, and once
lost would wander aimlessly about
until overcome by thirst and the
heat, which is excessive out there
on the desert.-Deseret News.

LICK or PUBLIC SPIRIT.

In these times Of sport and fun.
we are at loss to understand why
the young men of tins city are not
mp to the times in the matter of
base ball and other out-of-door sport
and recreation.
In every town and hamlet in the
state young men are vieing with
each other as to who can become
the most scientific upon the diamond,
while in this city the boys can not
even get UP enough enthusiasm to
organize q squirrel hunt. Some
thing is certainly wrong, for in most
other respects Montpelier is up to
tn times. There is no reason why
the young men of this CITY could
not have one of the best baseball
teams in the state and with proper
organlzatlon and little practice
could compete with any team IN
this or any other state. We sug-
gest that good nine be organized
forthwith and that the boys ilnmed-
lately begin to practice and then
challenge some nine IN the county
for friendly contest on the dla-
mohd for the fourth of July. This
would be good addition to the reg
nlar Fourth of July celebration
which viii be held in thlA city next
month.
Base ball furnishes amusement for
people, and good hcalthful, invigor-
ating exercise for those who par
tioipate. Who will lead ont? Let

 Among Traffic Men

The earnings of the southern railroads, mingham district for the fourth week in February show healthy increases over the corresponding period in 1899, and reflect the great industrial activity of the country. Earnings of the Alabama Great Southern for the fourth week in February were $4S,- 993, gain of $9,773 over tho corresponding week in 1899, when the earnings were $34,- 22O. The earnings for February were s163.- 720, an increase of 11S.

 New Rolling Strck
 During the month of February orders for .543 cars and for 1S5 locomotives have been placed by the different railroads<R the country. against orders for 5,524 cars and 165 locomotives noted in January.

It is expected uhat the March orders will show a considerable increase over those for February
 It is believed in well-lnlformed railroad circles that the Pennsylvania Railroad company will at an early date acquire an interest in the Norfolk and Western road. President Cassatt of the Pennsylvania, in his annual report refers ito the policy of his company of acquiring interests in neiglioouing and connecting roads, and this is regarded as foreshadowing investments in Norfolk and Western stock. The Penn sylvanla has already large interes',s in the Chesapeake and Canio and the Baltimore and Ohio, both of which connect with the Norfolk and Western. As a result of the report that the Pennsylvania would &C., quire an interest in the Norfolk and West ern, preferred stock in the ialjter has risen on the New York stock exchange.

 The Stations of the Cross-fourteen in Iumber-consist of series of reliefs

These representations Gin St. Paul's church the scenes are in relieD are ranged round the walls, the first station being placed on the gospel side of the altar and the last on the epistle side. In many European countries the stations are erected in the open air. especially on roads leading to some church or shrine on hill
 This popular devotion began in the Frai cisoan order, the Franciscar1s being tn guardians of the holy places in Jerusalem and the stations are intended helps to making in spirit a pilgrimage to the scenes
 of Christs suffering and death. Many of
 the faithful kneel before the stations and
 mediate frequently throughout the year,
 but in the formal exercises the priest, at-
 tended by two altar boys passes through
 the side aisles and stops in front of each
 station, where brief lecture on the scene depicted, together with prayers and words
 of contrition are read from a book. The
 stations are as follows: 1. The sentence
 passed on Jesus by Pilate; 3. Jesus receiv-
 ing the Cross; B. The first fall under the weight of the cross; 4. Jesus meeting his
 mother; g. The bearing of the cross by
 Simon of Cyrene; 6. The wdping of the face
 of Jesus by Veronica with handkerchief:
