we'll known man. Il had n number of
horses that was anxious to dispose
of. Among them was one named Jer-

used to working on a drum. In such
work a horse becomes accustomed to
lifting his feet high to avoid striking
the BOOSTING ropes. When the horses

Of Jerry called at my house and told

NIGHT MARE.
The Sensation That Always Makes n

Strange that we are always so cow
ardly in nightmares" remarked a New
orleans lawyer who has a taste for
the bizarre. Il don't believe anybody
ever lived who stood up and made a
square stand against the amorphous
horror that invariably purSues us in
such visions. When | have a night

Il think that the explanation of the
nightmare panic is to be found in the
fact that the dream is almost invari-
ably accompanied by a sense OF suffo-
cation 1t is well established that
choking the shutting off of ones
wind to use a homely phrase-has an
effect upon the mind which is entirely
distinct and different from that pro-
ducea By any other form of pain or
peril 1t fills the victim with such hor-
ror and distraction that he is for the
moment insane He will do anything
to get relief. This has been brought
out on more than one occasion in the
defcuse OF men who have been choked
and Killed their aSSailants, and judges
have held that the circumstances OF
such an attack should be given special
consideration as cStenuating the deed.
In dreams the entire nervous system is
relaxed. and it is natural to suppose
that the mental effect Of suffocation
would be intensified. Al least, that is
the best apology have to offer for my
spripts through nightmare land. New

Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1900-02-05

Republican administration was not a
violation Of Il.
My contention Is, OF course, that
neither by the election nor by the APP
pOiutment was any compact broken.
But II one Is. then II follows that the
other Is, and my argument IN Wash
ington was that II the people OF the
State Of Utah were to be condemned
and branded as covenant breakers, so.
too, must the administration and It's
counselors ana advisers IN this State,
bear the same burden. My reference
In the House to this subject was no pet
~ child's plea that somebody else was
as bad as / was, and therefore ought
TO go free. But It did involve tho con-
sideration Of the very great questions
above set forth and the arguments
have not yet been and cannot be ans
Wered. Moreover II had been abso-
lutely silent on this question Il would
have been considered. as Representa-
tive Lentz Of Ohio had some time be-
fore the conyening Of Congress formed
and expressed the determination that
that action OF the administration
should be investigated. He held as did
many others in Congress. that it was
unjust TO condemn the people Of Utah
for an alleged violation OF the compact
when the Republican administration
had also violated II, II there had been
such inclination and moreover had set
them the example Of acting IN bad
faith"

Ex-Congressman Roberts today made
a statement as TO what he really In
teaded to show during his House 80 ech.
in which he referred to the appointment
OF certain alleged polygamists TO post
masterships In Utah By President Nc
Kinley. He ridicued the idea that he
had "peaehed' on any one as charged
by his opponents and declared that It
was not his purpose to refer to the mat
ter at all. In answer to questions he
seid:
No, sir; II was no part OF my orig
inal intention 10 arraign the national
administration for appointing alleged
Republican polygamists to Federal
positions. The action OF the admlnlst-
ration and Of local Republicans In lgnor-
Ing the charges made against those who
were candidates for Federal appoint
ments In this State was exactly
right and was no violation OF any agree
ment existing between the State OF
Utah and the United States
The settlement Of the question OF

on that question covers fourteen pages

that all that was intended by the ac-

gus NJ. Cannon. president, and John
Nicholson and w b. Dougall Of the
board Of trustees. The teachers who
have resigned were conspicuous by

feel any anxiety In regard 10 the
changes that had taken place. BY a
piece OF rare good fortune, the speaker
said, the College had been successful In
Immediately filling with thoroughly
qualified teacher, every position made
vacant by the recent designations.
The designations came as an entire
surprise to the president and TO the
College board. The reslgnlng teachers
had slight difficulty with the menu
bers Of the board In regard 20 the pro.
portion Of their salaries they should
receive In cash. The board had de-
clded against their claim. and they had
appealed the matter to the First Presi.
dency, who had the matter under con-
Ederatlon and had not yet rendered
their decision. The contesting teachers
had repeatedly. especially Prof. Nell
son, assured the president Of
the College. that they would
abide By the decision OF
the First Presidency and do no more In
the affair even 81 the decision should go
against them. Hence, the speaker said
he was taken thoroughly by surprise
when the designations were handed TO
him 20 take effect the day before he re-
ceived them. Nor could he understand
the reasoning by which the teachers
concluded suddenly to resign on ac-
count Of a matter which had not been
decided against them az ALL However,
they had gone, and he was pleased 90
assure the students that in each
case the services OF teacher
fully as capable and IN several
cases more capable, than the teachers
that had resigned had been obtained.
President Cannon stated that these
teachers had demanded that the board
should do what It could not DO, and that
the board had not complied with their
request, because In the frst place II
was impossible 10 do so, and because
In the second place II would be unjust
even Il compliance were possible. These
teachers had made q demand 10 receive
more than two-thirds OF their pay In
cash, and one-third In whatever kind Of
pay should be given for the support OF
the Institution by the trustee-in-trust
Since to do this would have left all the
other teachers without any cash az all,
the trustees had refused to comply with
the request. They were perfectly WILL
ing. however 70 comply with such re-
quest, and would be glad to do IL. II the
means could be raised but they did not
know how 70 raise u, unless the First
Presidency should give the means.
Trustees Nicholson and Dougall ex-
plalned the nature OF the difference and
some Of the attending circumstances.
Nothing was said by any OF the speak
ers in way Of criticism Of the outgoing
teachers, beyond a mere statement Of
the facts In the case.
The classes then went on as usual,
only one section Of one class, arithme-
tie, not reclting, for which a teacher
will arrive tomorrow. That the action
Of the retiring teachers did not disrupt
the work Of the College was matter
Of favorable comment and wonder
among the students Prof. Paul says
that Il Is only by a series Of lucky ac-
cldents that II ala not do so. OF the
new teachers employed only one had
been previously communicated with,
and that was IN reference 10 next year.
The others merely happened to be ready
at the time they were wanted.
