NO OLEO IN UTAH.
Butter Dealers Little Interested in
Action of Congress.

Butter Dealers Little Interested in
Action of Congress.
The efforts of congress to enact more
stringent laws against the manufacture
and sale of oleomargarine have no
terrors for butter dealers in this city.
The new law contemplates the stamp
ing of the word ''Oleomargerine" on
each separate package of the stuff
placed upon the market. 1t also con-
templates the stamping in a similar
manner of the covering of each wrap
per used, and outside of that must be
put the revenue stamp.
It would seem that this would be
guard enough against the sale under
false colors of this bull butter" In
Utah, however. all this is unnecessary,
because the state law is so stringent
that no Oleomargarine has been offered
for sale in this city since the new law
went into effect in 1897. This law pro-
bibits the use of all coloring matter in
the oleomargarine so that if it is sold
at all it must be as white as lard; 1t
must be stamped too for just what 1t
is and any restaurant or hotel using 1t
must have out conspicuous notices to
that effect.
The whole law is SO stringent that
no dealer has attempted to handle the
stuff for the past two years. There IS
a revenue tax in addition to ali this,
and no one in Utah has taken out a
revenue license TO sell Oleomargarine
either at retail or wholesale for the
past two years.

WEEK IN FINANCE.
Bradstreet's Says Speculation Is Gen
orally Professional.


New York, May 25.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow win say: Speculation continues
to be very restricted in character, pub
lie interest in the market being small,
while transactions are principally the
result of professional traders activity.
This has, however, been an interesting,
though disappointing week for Wall
Street and involved one serious dis
aster in stock exchange circles. 1t De
gan with more or less renewal of bull
lish feeling on the part Of speculative
community, caused by the announce
ment that the New York gas war had
been brought to an end, also by the
news that Secretary Gage has called
the $25, 500. coo of extended 2 per cent
government bonds for redemption,
thereby tending to prevent any undue
accommodations in the treasury.
Last Saturday the advances were
general and on Monday the market
opened with a further display Of
strength, which however, did not con-
tinue. as there seemed to be de-
cided disposition to take profits. Prices
accordingly receded irregUlarly though
bullish manifestations were kept up
more or less in special stocks like
Sugar, Tobacco, Atchison Preferred,
Northern Pacific, and the market while
dull was not weak one.
London operations in our market
were mixed and at one time eXagger-
ated reports about the presence of the
bubonie plague at San Francisco ere
ated disposition to liquidation of
American stocks in the foreign mar
kets. Some attention was paid to the
crop situation. Although reports of
drouth in the northwest were heard.
the general situation was favorable to
the granger railroad prospects.
The decline OF foreign exchange and
the lowering of the Bank of England
rate. rendered the shipment of 81 ,250, GOO
gold to Paris on Thursday a matter of
little consequence to the street. In fact.
the end of the gold movement is gen.
orally considered at hand.
The only other incident of general
Importance was the failure of Price,
Mccormick & Co. 1t had the effect of
renewed liquidation and weakness in
securities, the whole list on Thursday
selling off to a certain extent.

Likely to Win Out in intercollegiate
Games.


Games.
New York. May 25.-The inter
collegiate amateur athletic champion
ship games were begun on Columbia
held before a meagre crowd of specta-
tors and un Ter weather conditions that
were anything but promising for a good
afternoons sport The cinder track was
sOggy and fully two-fifths of a second
slow. and the infield was practically a
quagmire
Pennsylvania gathered in enough po-
SltiOns this afternoon to warrant a pre-
diction of a victory for the red and
blue-striped athletes tomorrow. Their
supremacy can be attributed to the
prOWess of A. G. Kraenzlein, who duali-
fed in four events today and has a big
possibility Of scoring first honors in the
finals of three out of these events.
Two intercollegiate records We're
broken in the trials, and it is possible
that with good weather and a dry track
other records may be broken tomorrow.
The records broken today were
made by he heavyweight division. and
one Of them for a short time was dis
puted. IN the shot-put, F. Beck of Yale
created new inter- collegiate record of
a feet. inches, the best previous one
being held by J. c. McCracken of Penn
syVania. whose throw was 43 feet. 81
inches which he made last year. In

Relics of Show Recently Given, in
Which an Australian Was in an
Habit of Entertaining His Audi
ences by Eating Reptiles-Police
Hunting For Him.

If Bosco, the Australian snake eater,
or his management had been located in
town yesterday ne would have met
the most enthusiastic reception of his
career at the hands of Detective
George Sheets. The reason is that
Bosco went out Of town leaving an I'M
desirable memento in the form of a
dozen snakes in the cellar Of the house
in which he performed.
BOSco is represented to be one of the
snake eating tribe found in Australia
by explorers, but now almost extinct
Whether it is true or not, he performed
here last week in the old Wasatch drug
store in the Galena block on the cor
neF of State street and Second South
The performance consisted of Bosco ly-
ing down in a den of 500 live snakes of
all species, ratJlers included, and he US
ually wound up by eating a reptile
about 3 foot long. The show left town
Wednesday night, paying the rent. and
all was we'll until yesterday morning,
when the cOlOred janitor went in the
clean up the room.
This Janitor appeared at the desk of
Mr.. Frank Knox about three minutes
later frightened nearly out of his
wits.
"Oh, Lor." he exclaimed, @deys foah
HUNDRED snakes a crawlin' ovah dere
undah de flo. Good LOr' send 70 de
police" and so saying the janitor threw
d fit on the spot.
Found the Snakes There.
Mr.. Knox. as president of the bank,
which is custodian Of the property,
succeeded in learning from the darkey,
after some effort, the situation, which
was as he had insisted, that 400, or
possibly geo snakes had been let loose
IN the cellar. A messenger ives sent to
the place at once and backed by an
officer, commenced an investigation He
found that the eolOred man was right,
the only difference being that there
were twelve snakes instead of 400 and
that instead Of crawling about, life
seemed to be extinct in each body
Clean them OUT said Mr.. Knox to
the janitOr
The latter trembled.
Why, boss, I'd JUS as soon handle
lion as a snake, >" he protested, tear
fully, and the upshot Of the matter was
that the bank had to hire a man to
get out the corpses.
The mystery is as to how the reptiles
got down cellar. There are two theories.
They died on BOsco's hands and he
made the cellar tomb by putting the
bodies through a hole in the floor, or
they might have been lost in the shuttle
and crawled down there to starve. The
latetr is more likely there being so
many Of the reptiles that the absence
Of that many would not be noticed.
Again, 1t is improbable that a dozen
of the snakes would die within a week.
If they were properly fed
The bank people wanted to find the
snake people and Detective Sheets
loked hard for them all day. But the
show has gone east and nobody will
be punished for what seems to be a
case of criminal negligence or pure
cussedness. Mr.. Knox was quite exar-
cised about the matter.
