City Engineer Kelsey in a Crlti-

The friends of City Engineer Frank

is very seriously i'll. He is afflicted
with q complete prostration of the
nerve system, and unless he takes alb
solute rest for a couple of weeks, as
his physician declares he must, a most
critical physical condition will con-
front him. The ailment is attributed
TO oVerwoTk and worry in the perform
ance of his official duties.
The announcement yesterday that
Engineer Kelsey had utterly collapsed
was no surprise to those who are on
intimate terms of acquaintance with
him. For several weeks he has been
far from well. His work has kept him
at his Office almost nightly for months
past, commencing again with early
morning.
The last straw came Friday niaht
when the city council, in special SEES
sion, adopted a new form of contract
and specifications for public work The
council eliminated the engineer from
any connection with public contracts.
and this Engineer Kelsey felt with
great degree of humiliation. After Mr.
kelsey's arrival at his home about mid
night he suffered a collapse and sank
into uncOnSciOusness. Medical aid

Search for an Offender Ends in

last night by bringing his charge face

Yesterday afternoon a warrant Cor
the arrest of John Lamont, whose
home is in this city, was placed In the
hands Of Deputy Sheriff Cummings for
service. From the origin of tie Incl
dent 10 its sequel, the charge named
in the warrant is apparent, and it was
therefore, imperative that the offender
be caught. The officer intended leaV

camps IN TOOele county to arrest the
accused lover of the distressed Toung
woman. Miss Annie Eastlen. But IN
expectedly the deputy bumped Up
against the defendant on Main street
late yesterday afternoon ard without

Lamont pleaded that he had come In
town in expectation OF marrying Miss
Eastlen and he begged the officer to go
with him to find his bride. This Deputy
Cummings consented to do, suggest

to be provided with a marriage license
and the advice of a representative from
the public prosecutors Office.

determination Of the prisoner ana under
his direction the three officials started
out on an almost interminable drive

The Catarrhal Curse.

Catarrh is as much a curse today as
malaria and fever plague TO the hot
swamps Of Florida. It's in the air. like
an inherent and undying contagion.
Everybody is afraid of it, everybody il
interested in it. and it is just as inter
esting to be saved from it or TO be cured
Of it as it is to die from it. There are
thousands of people in Salt Lake City
today Who have some imperceptible
germ faint of Catarrh in the system -
well as vast numbers Of people fn,zvhom
these germ taints have developed into
chronic ailments of varying degrees Of
malignity, suffering and danger. In
most instances the difficulty is aggra-
waited by the fact that the victims can
not diagnose their miseries or distin-
guish the cause of them.
The fact is. majority Of common
chronic diseases, though known as
bronchial trouble, lung trouble, kidney
trouble, stomach trouble, etc, are really
Of a catarrhal origin and nature.
Every part of the mucous membrane
the nose, throat, eyes, ears. head, lungs,
stomach, liver bowels. bladder, kid
neys-are subject to disease and blight
by catarrh. Most physicians have not
the time to devote much study to this
disease. nor have they the necessary
apparatus and training to successfully
treat it. Drs. Shores have made a life
long study of catarrh in all its forms,
and have treated thousands Of cases in
the past eight years in this community
and the unanimous verdict Of their
patients is that DRS. SHORES CAN

DREAMED AN INVENTION.
California Woman Makes Money Out
of an idea of Her Sleep.
Csan Francisco Call1

CSan Francisco CaH)
A dream has proved itself worth
$1,000 to Mrs. Jessie H. Higley of Niles.
For once a nighttime fancy has proved
itself to be worth something tangible
in coin of the country. Mrs. Higley- has
been offered IS COO in cash for the pro-
duct of that dream and has refused
it. believing that it is worth more.
Mrs. Jessie H. Higley is the wife OF
Seward O. Higley, the station agent OF
the Southern Pacific company at Niles.
They have lived in the quiet commun-
ity for some years and Mrs. Higley's
housewifely instincts have become pro-

Higley makes them go her way. If
there is anything new that viii add to

Among some of her recent additions
to the household furniture are iron
beds The beds proved sery good, but
the artistic eye of the housewife was
offended by the lack of drapery about
them Then she found to her sorrow
that there was no satisfactory method
known to the trade of adding drapery
to an iron bed so that it could be re-
moved quickly when cleaning or sweep

The lack of this continuance was such
an annoyance to the lady that she

country glad. She did not wait for the
dream to become dim, but got right up

Young Lovers Accused of Steal
ing a Neighbours Flowers.

1t is an old saying that the course of
true love never did run smooth, and in
the case of a youthful couple in North
salt Lake the course bids fair to lead
both youth and maiden TO the city Jail
The trouble all arose over the efforts
of the youth to WOO his fair lady with
punches of stolen flowers, and as a
result of the love-making there is a
warrant in the hands of the officers
for the arrest of the young couple on
a charge of petit larceny. The youth
is Willie Burbidge, a messenger boy.
and the maiden in the case is Miss
azei Kesler. who lives in the vicinity
of Fifth West and Fourth North
streets.
The complaint was made by James
Solomon, who lives at 56S West Third
North street, who alleges that he used
to have a very fine flower garden be-
fore young Burbidge contracted an af-
lection for Miss Kesler. Since that
time, as he alleges, his flowers have
shed their fragrance from other vases
than his. According to his statement

rents have gone up enormously on the
property between Second and Third

per hundred on the price of -four at the

the sentiment in favor of it was not

advanced for the proposed increase was
the shortage of the visible supply of
