Mt. Pleasant, Feb. 16.-The saloon build
ms, business and fixtures on Main street
belonging to Joseph Lowe of Ogden were
sold this week to Boon BrOthersOn and
Chris Simpson, both young men of this
city.
Two new cases of smallpox are re-
ported from Spring City this week. They
are in the families Of T. Ellington and

FEDERAL BUILDING FUNDS.
Banker Knox Surprised by Congress
man Kings Action.

The special dispatch from Washing
ton. D. c.. announcing that Representa-
tive King was moving to have a Ger
tain Salt Lake bank designated the de-
pOsitOry for the government funds 10 be
used in the construction of. the new
federal building was news TO all those
in Salt Lake most likely to be inter
ested. Inquiries last evening failed 10
develop the fact that the officers Of any
of the banks were moving in the mat
ter at this end of the line.
Should Representative King succeed
in having some bank other than the
National Bank of the Republic desig
mated as the depository it would bring
about a peculiar condition of affairs in
this city while the new building was
going Cp. over a year ago Frank
Knox. the president of the Bank of the
Republic, was appointed by the score
tary Of the treasury diSbursing agent
Of the money to be used in the con-
struction of the federal building, and
the natural suppOsitiOu was then that
Mr. Knox would keep the funds in his
own bank. If some other bank should
now be designated the depository the
spectacle would be presented of Mr..
Knox. the president Of one bank, doing
his banking business at some other
bank.
The Bank of the Republic and the
Deseret National are now L. s. deposi-
tories. so designated by the treasury
department. 1t would seem natural
that one of these would be designated
to handle the funds for the new build
ing. but the officers of both these banks
were ignorant of what Representative
King was doing in the matter. Neither
had made any move TO secure this ia
vor, and it is barely possible that some
other one of the national banks in the
city had been selected By Congressman
King.
Mr.. Knox expressed surprise last
evening when told of what was being
done at Washington. He said that he
vas appointed disbursing agent over
year ago. and thought he would be
permitted to keep the funds where it
suited him best. He did not know, he
said, that a particular bank had to be
named.

FELL THROUGH A WINDOW.
But the Drunk Thought Somebody
Hit Him.


Somebody hit me- declared Fred
Anderson as he staggered into the po-
lice station last night, wiping the blood
from a slight cash over his right eye.
He hit me. and he hit me hard" pro-
tested the drunk. who had imbibed SO
much that he could hardly navigate.
The drunk declared that he went into
q saloon on Commercial street and set
EN- up to the crowd several times and
started out of the place. when one of
the men followed him and demanded
another drink. Anderson said he de-
clined to treat any more and that the
fellow followed him to the sidewalk and
smashed him in the eye with his fist.
Anderson wanted the wound dressed,
and as there was no doctor handy the
desk sergeant undertook the job. Sc
cuTingAa piece of cotton batting, some
what smaller than baseball the ser
geant put it over his eye and plastered
it there with two strips Of court Dlas-
ter that might have served for the Nal
tese. cross on q hospital flag.
Just at that juncture an officer came
in and informed the desk sergeant that
Anderson had been staggering down
Commercial street and in his unsteady
efforts to keep to the sidewalk he but
ted his head through a small window
and received the scratch over his :! .
Anderson declared that that was not
the way he got his hurt and spent half
an hour before the IOOking-glass study
ing the effect of his appearance before
he could be persuaded to leave the sta
tiOn and go home.

gle, who was delighted with his charm

Easton has an extensive operate roper
