Letter to Thomas McNair,


Dear Sir: h NJ Hooker & Co., Coop
erstown, N Y, have sold Devoe paint
for % years. d. T. McGown, of that
firm, built house in 'S5 and painted
Devoe, of course. The paint lasted ten
years.
A year or two later. a neighbor built
a house and painted it lead and oil.
The neighbor's house was repainted
twice in the same time
This looks as if the neighbor's house
was painted three times in eight or nine
years, and McGown's once in ten years.
We are not quite sure-we tell the tale
as il comes to us.
1t is enough to say that Devoe lead
and zinc lasts twice az long as lead and
OIL
Yours truly.
F. w. DEvOE 81 Co.

sented at the Park Theatre next week
This will furnish a strictly high class
offering in comedy and one that will
prove most satisfying to local theatre
goers if the well seasoned judgment of
capable critics may be taken as accu-

the past two seasons, and since Mr..
Perkins secured the rights to it, he has
endeavored successfully to keep it up
to the high standard fixed by its pro-
duction in New York, Boston, Chicago
and elsewhere.

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN FAMOUS
LITIGATION.

After having had the matter under
Amusement. Tor several months, Judge
Hall yesterday granted defendants
motion for a new trial in the case of
Ogden City VS.. the Bear River Irriga-
Ulon & WaterwOrks company. This is
the case which was tried before Judge
HIles last year and resulted, after Ref
cree s H. Lewis had taken testimony
on an accounting between the litigants
in judgment for S266.0O0 in favor of
the city. The decision also found that
the city council acted without author
ity when it granted a franchise to the
WateTwOrks company, and that the lat
ter had violated its contract with the
city.
It is stated that in view of the fact
that the federal court case Of the
Waterworks company against Ogden

issues as in the case tried in this city
on change Of venue, having been

ARCH BLOWN DOWN.
Structure Wrecked and Several Peo-
pie Narrowly Escaped.


The blasts from the western horizon
which struck the Midway at Ais in the
afternoon tore down the mammoth
arch at the entrance to the grounds on
Main street and threatened the whole
works with destruction.
AT the time the arch came down
with terrible crash there were a half
dozen people under It, but all ESCAPED
INJURY by narrow margin. Three lit
tie girls Who We're passing underneath
the arch lodged back and got ont nf
the way not second too soon. A hoy
named Ed Williams, residing at 422
South Fourth East, was riding his
wheel into the grounds when the arch
tumbled. Seeing what seemed newt
able destruction upon him, he made a
sprint, the suddenness of which broke
his bicycle chain. The top of the arch
struck the ground behind his wheel
about three feet. Had he been a sec
end later it would have meant his
death.
The arch stood thirty-three feet high
and its weight was no less than 3. tom
In the fail it smashed to smithereens
and g force Of workmen cleared away
the debris, piling it up just inside the
grounds.
The wind tore down a portion of the
Oriental theatre and created havoc
generally among the tented shows No
one, fortunately, was injured, though
narrow escapes were numerous.
