NJ MASTER
Court Says His Contract With
Luke Was Against Pub
lie Policy.

In a decision rendered yesterday in
the Third district court, Judge Morse
reflects seriously upon ex-Justice Of the
Peace Alexander Mc8Taster. The finding
Of the court, in brief, is to the effect that
Justice McMaster, while in Office, en-
tered into an agreement with the Mer-
chants Protective association by which
he was not to be paid his fees for filing
and trying cases until the association
collected from the defendants, except
when he was paid a lump sum at the
end Of the year, as was done on one or
two occasions.
The decision was rendered in the
case Of Mr.. McMaster against the Salt
Lake Brewing company and four other
parties for whom the Protective asso-
citation had fled cases in Justice Nc
Masters court. McMaster sued the
plaintiffs in the cases direct for his
court fees instead Of the association
which brought the suits, and being de-
feated in the lower court he appealed
to the district court.
The holding of Judge Morse is to the
effect that the contract entered into
with the Protective association by Nc
Master was contrary to public policy.
and that he was therefore not entitled
to recover.

MAY OPEN NEW STREET
Plan to Cut in Two the Grand Hotel
Block.

Plan to Cut in Two the Grand Hotel
Block.
A proposition is under consideration
to open a street east and west through
the block bounded by State and Second
East and First and Second South
streets. The Grand Hotel company,
corporation of the heirs Of the FeTa-
morz Little estate, holds the key to the
situation, owning practically all of the
land necessary to be coded for street
purposes, and 1t is understood that the
shareholders favor the proposition, for
by so doing the company would have
nearly double the frontage now owned.
With q frontage Of twenty rods on
First South street and about thirty on
Second East, the company owns near
~ three acres IN that block. While II
is desirable to make sixty-six-foot
street, it is feared that it will be only
about half that width, thereby prevent
ing the acceptance by the municipality
of the new street.
At meeting Of the shareholders yes
terday this matter received attention
and will be considered further by the
new directors chosen, and who are Net
tie L. Rensimar, Rebecca z. Little, Lo-
rilla L. Horne, W. S. Crismon and Elias
A. Smith. 1t is thought probable that
If the block is divided by a street that

tel company viii be either improved by
the erection Of terraces or placed on
the market for sale. The directors viii

STATE NEWS
MEETING A SUCCESS
Farmers Institute at St. George
Largely Attended by Farmers
and Fruit Growers.
fspeciaI TO me Heraldl


St George, Utah, Dec 14.-One of the
most satisfactory institute meetings ever
held in st. George was the one of last
evening at the Lyceum, when Professor
L. A Merrill and J. A. Wright of the
Utah Agricultural college. and President
Thomas Judd and Vice President B. H.
Bower of the state board Of horticulture
addressed a large audience of the farm
ers, stock growers and horticUltuTists of
this vicinity. President Judd opened the
meeting with a brief but very earnest
talk, setting forth the urgent need for
progress along the lines of agriculture in
the broadcast sense. Mr. Judd was fol-
lowed by President r. H. Snow, who fully
endorsed the remarks already made and
called upon his hearers TO put forth
every effort to keep pace with the rapid
trend toward scientific and intense farm
ing.
Mr.. Bower spoke of the Importance Of
the farmers following the lines their To-
Cality is best adapted to and made a good
point by comparing the vast area of the
United States. where only ordinary crops
can be grown, with the limited scope of
Dixie, where the finest of fruits and
vegetables can be produced.
Professor Merrill told Of the expert
mental methods at the state department
station, lucidly explaining the great prac-
teal value of the place to the farmers Of
Utah.
He Illustrated the causes and results
OF some of the more common diseases Of
livestock. his description of black leg in
cattle and the means of prevention being
especially plain and easily understood.
Mr. Wright spoke Of the general hOTti-
cultural resources of Washington cOun-
~ and urged a more general plan of cul-
ture of early fruits and vegetables to
compete with California in the markets.

Dixie for the purpose of wine and raisin

TRAFFIC IS STIMULATED.
Merchants Lay in Goods Because Of
Low Rates.

Merchants Lay in Goods Because Of
Low Rates.
The prevailing low rates has result
ed in stimulating the ordering of goods
by local merchants, although the bust
ness has not increased prOportiOnately
so much as it did during the rate war
about 2 year ago. The general Opin-
ion Of merchants and railroad men is
that about % per cent more traffic IS
being moved westward than is normal
at this season of the year.
The merchants have laid in their
fall stocks and il is too early to do
much with spring goods. The increased
movement is principally in staples,
which can be brought at a low price
al present and moved cheaply enough
10 make it worth while for a merchant
10 allow interest on his money and
take chances on fluctuations in value
before spring.
Two staples which are being pur-
chased by hardware firms are wire and
nails. The prices on these have been
greatly reduced by the manufacturers,
while the railroads are making rates
of so to 90 cents a hundred from Chica-
go instead of S1.i0, the tariff.
One reason why more traffic is not
being moved is that a large. p9opor-
ton of the railroad men are no. zoe
ing after the business. They are tax
ing care of their regular customers,
but they are seeking no new business
at the low rates. A reStOra ton of
normal conditions Is expected about
Jan. i. and they prefer 20 wait and
handle the business at or near tariff
10 getting nalf price for it.

WELCOME TO
PYTHIAN CHIEF
Supreme Chancellor Fethsrs
Visits Salt Lake.
SPEAKS TO LOCAL KNIGHTS
TELLS OF THE GROWTH AND
PROSPERITY OF THE ORDER.
SPEAKS TO LOCAL KNIGHTS

So seldom does a supreme chancellor
Of the order Of knights of Pythias Of
fcially visit the domain Of Utah that
when il was announced that Supreme
Chancellor Ogden H. Fethers would
be in Self Lake all the local Pythians
prepared to extend a chivalric welcome
to the distinguished visitor. The scene
of welcome was at Castle hall last
evening, when a couple of hundred
members of the order assembled to do
honor to their worthy chief.
The feature of the evening was the
supreme chancelor's address, in which
he brought good cheer to the local
Pythians by telling them Of the hope
full conditions Of the order through
out the world. Chancellor Fethers i'm
pressed upon the meeting that the
army of men banded together by the
ties of friendship, charity and benevo-
lence numbered 81 600 at the beginning
Of the year. Reports indicate that
the year 1901 will show a large increase
in the membership. The supreme chan
cellor regards a man who once was a
Knight of Pythias, but who is not now
clear on the books, still a Pythian at
heart, and including this class he places
the total strength Of the Knightly army
in accomplishing good in the world at
over 100000 souls.
Troubles of Insurance Branch.
Referring to the troubles last sum-
mer in the insurance branch of the or
der, Chancellor Fethers said that the
turning of the searchlight upon the
acts of the managers of the department
had revealed the truth to all members
Of the order, and with confidence re-
stored il would require only a few
months longer 10 place the affairs Of
this division Of the order upon a firmer
footing than ever. The uniform rank
came in for words of commentator
from the supreme chancellor.
Chancellor Fethers is a distinguished
appearing man in the prime Of life.
He is a charming public speaker, and
is one of the foremost members Of the
Wisconsin bar. At the close of his
address last evening the local members
of the order clasped his hand with a
warmth of fTRternal feeling. After a
short programme of recitations and
music the guest Of honor and the
Pythian hosts partook Of delicious re-
freshments.
Supreme Chancellor Fethers is ac-
companied by his wife, and, after rest
ing at the KnutsfoTd today, will con-
tine their journey Monday morning to
the Pacific coast. The supreme chan
cellOr was met at the depot yesterday
morning by Supreme Representative L,
H. Farnsworth. Grand Chancellor
StOney and Past Grand Chancellor F.
W. Gardiner. These officials and other
prominent knights are exerting them
selves fO make the visit of fbe dfSfiu-

TESTED BIC ENGINE
Fire Apparatus Failed to Show
High Grade Of USE
fuInesS.

An interesting test of the efficiency
Of the big fire engine of No. ? station.
which has been laid up for repairs for
some months past. was made at No. 1
station yesterday afternoon. Amid a
roar of vibrating machinery that was
deafening for half a block away, the
big engine strove in vain to reach the
standard of modern big engines. but
1t was sadly lacking in machine ability
to do so. The test was conducted us-
der the direction of Assistant Chief
Mccarthy, and for half an hour or
more some fifty or seventy-five people
stood in the snow watching the per-
Torrance.
The big engine, which sucked I'D a
rock into its mechanism during the
Short Line fire, has just been over
hauled and fixed up. With a steam
pressure of 100 pounds to the inch and
a water pressure Of eighty-five pounds,
the engine was able to throw a stream
OF water from a one and One-eighth-
inch nozzle about seventy-five feet on
the dead level. This, it is said, is
considerably below the standard OF the
modern big engines. With the nozzle
tilted at a good angle the engine made
a better showing, throwing the stream
nearly 300 feet.
The engine, the firemen say, made a
fair showing for one of its class, but,
as has been evidenced in the big fires.
such as the Short Line building, 1t is
sadly deficient It is one of the first
engines brought to Salt Lake and has
done good work in its day, but the
fiTemen are not backward about saying
that its day has passed. This engine
and a smaller one, which throws only
half as much water (400 gallens) per
minute, is all that the fire laddies have
to protect the city. Chief Devine has
on a number Of occasions brought tlS
inc Efficiency Of the engines to the atten-
ton of the city council, and he is now

The Peruna Medicine Co. as follows:
Gentlemen-aI certainly feel grateful
to you for putting such a great catarrh
remedy on the market I believe that
more than half the people with whom
I come in contact have catarrh in
some form and I don't see why more Of
them don't use Peruna and get well.
myself and family were all sick a
few days ago with stomach trouble and

suits and at one-third the cost # would
have been had we called in a physician
who could not possibly have prescribed
a better remedy than Peruna."

Mr.. james A. Stalls, diego, Ill, writes:
al can say that Peruna has cured my
four-year-old boy of the to1silitis, and
that of the worst stage. He had it last
winter, and took him to three of the
best doctors and got no relief. When 1
took him TO the fourth his tOnsils were
so inflamed that blood was running out
of them. The doctor said he could re-
duce them, so I used his medicine for
four OF five weeks and the boy got but
very little better. There was a week or
two that we thought he would choke 70

Peruna recommended for throat trouble.

my boys throat. He recommended Pc
