The Rain Came Down.

Yesterday afternoon at about
4:30, the flood gates we're turned
lose, and for fully a half hour one
of the hardest rains that has fallen
in years, came down. Many of our
ladies we're caught down town with
out umbrellas, and the street cars
did big business in taking them
home. The cutters and streets
were turned into raging creeks and
rivers for the time. 1t let up for
an hour and at night came dowr
again. The ground was thoroughly
dry and these rains were badly
needed, and it is hoped that many
more at short intervals mot in such
torrents however) will continue and
the ground be placed in a sufficient
state of moisture to feed the crops
during our dry season of the year

Runaway Horse Causes Panic on
Broad Street.

This morning the horse attached
to a buggy belonging to Harry
Blythe, ran away and came tearing
down Pine street to Broad, where
it intersects with State Line at the
Embry corner.
No one noticed the horse until he
he was right at the crossing be-
tween the Embry Drug Store and
Ragland's corner, and it was Just as
Mrs. Cundiff was crossing the street.
She had not noticed the horse until
it was to late to get out of the way,
She was struck with one of the
wheels and knocked down and many
thought she was killed. Mr.. Jim
DeGrazier was the first to reach her
and he lifted her up and carried her
into the drug store. She was soon
restored and it was found that her
injuries were slight and not of a
serious nature. The horse kept on
across the street and ran into DR..
Abell's buggy in which was

out to windward but he lighted on
his feet and they we're running and
cleared the danger line of the mix
up. The Blythe's horse threw him.

started and darted across to the
Ragland corner and mounted
the side walk and started east
with part of the buggy clinging
to him. Several awning posts were
knocked out as we'll as a fine lamp
in front of the Telephone saloon
Those pedestrians who we're on the
side walk made bee lines for door
ways and the side walk was cleared
for few minutes as effectively as
it would have been had a big hun
dred pound shell been hurled down
the pavement. 1t was several min
utes before some of those whose
faces were blanced with excitement
and fear we're brought back to their
wonted equinamity again. We are
glad to say that the damages were
slight for the amount of excite
ment caused. f,

without doubt be accepted by congress,
and the polygamous congressman kept
out. This decision ought to have a
vital interest for Utah. 1t will shut
out known ~polygamists from nomina-
ton for congress by any party. The
committee says that polygamy was
publicly charged against Roberts in
Utah during the campaign in which
he was elected, and it was not denied
by him. 1t is pretty safe to predict
that this defiance of the public opinion
of the country will not be repeated,
The precedent which is going to he
established by the Roberts case will
undoubtedly stand. Persons publicly
charged with polygamy, if elected to
congress. will be stopped at the door
until investigation is made, and then
If the charge be sustained they will be
kept out. Utah has a law against
polygamy. The course of the house
of representatives will constluin the
people of that state to take especial
pains to enforce it, particularly against
men who are ambitious to go to con-
gress. Until Il new choice is made by
Utah that state will be unreprcsented
in the popular branch of the national
legislature.

WILL PASS IL ALONG.

New Philippine Commission to Deal With
Church Property Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-President Nc
Kinley has determined to leave to the
new Philippine commission the question
of the disposition of church property
in the far eastern archipelago. The
commission will consult, I understand,
with the municipalities relative to the
action to be taken, as will also be done
in connection with the status Of the
friars who remain in the islands.
At the same time the administration
will have to determine what shall be
done with church property in the island
of Porto Rico, and the claims of the
Catholic clergy both here and in the
Philippines for continuation Of the sup
port they received from the government
Of Spain and which they claim is guar
anteed them by the treaty Of Paris.
These questions are very embarrass-
ing to the administration, especially as
it is on the eve of a presidential cam
paign, and there is no desire on the part
Of officials to take any action which may
be offensive to the Catholic voters Of the
country.
No instructions have been given to
either General Otis or General Davis
relative to the disposition Of property
claimed BY the church, and none will be.
for the present at least.

MAY FIX JOINT RATES.
Legal Decision That Will Increase Powers
of Railway commissioners.

Legal Decision That Will Increase Powers
of Railway Commissioners.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 31.-The railroad and
warehouse commission has the right to
fix joint rates for connecting carriers
and in case the carriers cannot agree on
a division Of the rate the commission
has the right to make that division.
This is the substance of a decision
rendered by Judge Bum of the district
court upon the petition of. the railroad
and warehouse commission for a writ of
mandamus compelling the Minneapolis
and St. Louis Railroad company and
the St. Paul and Duluth Railroad COM
pany to accept and put into operation a
joint rate on car loads of hard coal from
Duluth to Minnesota points on the Min
neapolis and St. Louis. Judge Bum
orders the issuance of. a peremptory
writ Of mandamus.
Among other things the decision reit-
crates the proposition that the state has
the right to control railroad rates, a point
which has long been firmly established,
and furthermore holds that the commits
sion has the power to fix joint rates and
apportion the rate in case the connect
ing carriers fail to agree m a, division.
Judge Bum comes,to this conclusion by
extending the rules laid down in the
jacobson case. The final decision is
considered as Of great Importance and if
Judge Bum is sustained by the supreme
court, the powers Of the commission will
be greatly increased.
