A Good Time for Workmen.

The cry set up to the erect tha'
the cost of living has increased to
such an extent that the wage Garner
is worse off now than before the
present era of prosperity is absurd.
The workmen were never better of
than they are today. They all have
work at full time. That alone, in
contrast with the time of soup houses
under the Democratic administra-
ton, proves the absurdity of the cry
about the great increase in the cost
of living.
There has been some advance,
and so has there been an advance
in wages in addition to the full
time. But the increase in prices is
principally in farm products, and
benefits the agricultural classes.
| Professor George Gunton has been
investigating the rise in prices and
presents some interesting facts. He
shows that during the years 1898
94-o5 96 there was a decline In
prices constituting the cost of living
about 20 per cent. And yet during
that time there was more suffering
among all classes than in any pre-
vious four years of the nations his
tory. The lower prices did not
help IN the least, because the peo-
pie did not have the money to buy
with, and there was no work for
the 1000, 900 unemployed. This
condition of cheap supplies can be
found in China, India and in other
countries where destitution is the
greatest.
There is now work for all, and all
have money to buy with. That
alone is a great gain. But wages
have gone up and keep advancing.
Farm products have increased about
23 per cent. There are no trusts to
increase the value of farm products.
But in the manufactured products,
in which trusts exist, excepting coal,
there has been an average decline of
TO-, per cent. since 1899. The
farmer is at no greater expense, ex-
cepting for labor, and he has been
greatly benefited. He pays no more
for farm implements, and, in fact
buys what he needs cheaper than
under the Cleveland administration.
The workingmen, without except
ion, are very much better off now
than under the Democratic free
trade rule, and NO greater calamity
could befall them than to bring
on a renewal of the distress and
misery experienced preceding the
election of the late President Nc
Kinley in 1896.

Committed Suicide.

Joe Burke, who has been visiting friends in Williams, informs us that a sheepherder in the employ of Capt. Smith, found the body of a man a short distance from Selig- man last Friday morning. The body was reduced to a skeleton and identification was impossible. In the clothes was found three hun dred dollars in gold, some silver and currency, but nothing that would lead to the identity of the remains. The hat found near the body contained the name of a mer- cantile firm at The Dalles, Oregon. A bullet hole in the skull and a re- volver beside the corpse told the tale of the snuffing out of his life. About three months ago a stranger left two grips at the Harvey House at Seligman and stated that he was going out a short distance and would soon return He never came back, and it is supposed that the gruesome find was the body of this man. The same day a sheepherder for Skinny Walsh found the body of another man several miles from Seligman, and a party had been sent out to make an investigation. -Mohave Miner.
 A special to the Republican stated that from letters the body was sup posed to be that of Manuel T. Le- neique- The man was apparently 40 years of age and a traveller. In his right hand he still clutched tightly a 3S-calibre revolver, his left hand resting under his head. One empty chamber in the revolver told the sad story of a suicide.

The finest house ever designed by
redskin is the grass house of the
Wichitas, a tribe that at present i've
in southern Oklahoma. They are the

cessfully the erection Of a grass struc-

which are being built for them by the
government The grass house, 1t is
claimed, is far from being healthfui;
but it is certainly comfortable.
There are but about fifty old men OF
the tribe alive today who understand
the art of building one of these houses
so that it will stand And these re-

The government has offered these
grass-house builders lucrative employ

NAV be preserved as models of an
ancient art. But they refuse, and the
grass huts that used to dot the prai-

now being torn down. The Wichltas
are determined that their huts shall

DEADERS OF DAILY newspapers
n cannot fail to be impressed each
morning with the number of fatal rail-
road accidents that are being reported.
The disasters are not confined to any
particular section Of the country or to
any special railroad. All seem to be
suffering in greater or less degree, and
the most unfortunate feature of all is
that practically every accident comes
under the head of preventable.
Dispatchers have been giving i'm
proper orders, trainmen have misread
or misinterpreted orders, operatives
have failed at the crucial moment. Do
these accidents indicate that railroad
men are becoming careless about the
discharge of their duties? An affirm
alive answer would hardly be fair.
Railroad men, as a rule, are the most
alert people in the world. They live
with their wits at their fingers ends,
where they may be brought into
prompt use when the occasion de-
mands.
1t is really difficult to give a salts
factory explanation of the disasters
that haze cost so many lives. Rail-
road accidents, like other calamities,
seem to run in cycles. Once in so often
we have a number Of them together,
or so close together as to be practically
continuous. Then months of compare
tive freedom from serious trouble will
follow. It is possible, indeed probable,
that the Increase in passenger traffic is
responsible for the increase in acci-
dents. It doesn't necessarily follow
that because one passenger in every
1000 for instance, is killed, that two
passengers in every 100000 win meet
death.
Sill, It is true that the more. people
handled, the more likelihood of an in
crease in the number of fatalities.
Every railroad in the country is doing
a rushing business. At this season Of
the year. following the advent of
Christmas. when passenger business is
ordinarily light, the trains running into
and out of Salt Lake are well filled
with people. All Of this means an ex-
ira strain on dispatchers and operat-
ives; it means increased responsibility
and unusual work
After all. in view of the number of
people who ride on railroad trains, it
is just a little surprising that more are
not killed or seriously injured.

Gross Houses Of Wichitas.

cutting usually takes place immedi-
ately after a rain, the sod being re-
moved to a thickness of about eight
inches. Buffalo grass sod is the only
kind that will answer the purpose of
the builder. He commences to lay the
foundation as does the stone mason,
digging away the earth to a depth of
about one foot The grass portion of
the chunks of sod is laid to the out
side, and the house is built 10 a
height of twelve to fifteen feet, in the
form of a pointed dome. There is no
hole in the top for smoke to pass out,
the latter being carried away through
a pipe on the outside OF the hut. The
door is usually in the south, and there
are no windows. Through each tuft
OF sod is run a willow reed string,
and these strings are bound clear
around the structure. The grass re-
mains green. and will grow if there
is plenty of rain. It is not at all un-
common to see the sides of these grass
houses turn green as spring ap-
proaches, just as do the pastures near
them. The houses are very warm in
winter and cool in summer They never
leak. often the Indians have barns
made Of the same material. But in
these days the redskins are made to
live in frame shacks. and the once 70 r
nous grass house will soon be but a
recollection.

LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.

THE MOVE to secure a grand jury
investigation of Salt Lakes tender
loin district is a step in the right di
rection- A fair study of the situation
ought to arouse the public to the neces-
sity of more rigid administration of
the law governing the ownership and
occupation Of property used for GRIM
inaI purposes; and the bare fact that.
such an investigation is to be made
publicly will be followed by an inn
provement.
Some one is responsible for the riot
of de5auchery, robbery and assaults
which have originated in Victoria alley
and kindred haunts, and the jury
should be able to fix that responsibility
where it belongs. Further, it will be
profitable for the grand jury to learn
why it is that something like two
dozen disreputable houses are able to
sell liquor at retail without paying the
heavy license required by the city, al
though every one of them finds it nee
essary to secure "a government license
rather than run the risk of prosecution
and punishment by the federal authori-
ties. The city treasurer has a list of
these places. the list has been furnished
the police department, but the matter
stopped there. If the city can afford
to maintain an expensive police force it
ought certainly to be able to collect a
legitimate license for retail liquor
Joints" or else compel the offenders
to quit their violations of the law.
That public sentiment is with the
law and order element is clearly shown
by the action of the w. c. T. u, the
Ministerial association and the numer
Gus good citizens who have manifested
their approval of the grand jury petit
ton. No one can object to investiga-
ton except people who have cause to
fear the result; and all such ought to
be brought face to face with the law
governing their offenses.
The welfare Of the city, the moral
health of the people cannot be safe
guarded too carefully, and in this case
the demand for action is practically
unanimous. Let the good work go On.

out this lifeline. There are grown men

mon house or stable rat
Utah's climate, so salubrious for
man and nearly every other animal,
doesn't agree with rats. They fail to
thrive and propagate as in other states,
and nobody has ever been able to give
a satisfactory explanation of the phe-
nomenon. Mice we have in plenty. as
the housewives whose larders have
been raided viii testify. bur rats are
conspicuous for their entire and utter
absence.

To Heat a Room
For SI.OO a Year.

CToledo Blade)
A revolution of the fuel question is the
result which Colonel William Heckert,
the well known scientist of this city,
claims his latest invention, the tramo-
heater, will accomplish. If the invention
does all that is claimed for it it will Ger
tainly startle the scientific world, as did
his recent invention. the trimotor.
Colonel Heckert says his invention viii
heat houses in cold weather and cool
them in warm weather. 1t can also be
used for refrigerating purposes and a
storage battery TO produce electric lights.
Crude oil is the only fuel used, and II IS
claimed that a room of average size can
be heated for only 81 year The plans
for the device have been examined and
/ approved by such eminent authorities as
Captain Sigsbee and Commander Melville
The new invention will also generate
power and do away with all present
theories of lOcOmotion- It's scientific
principle Is to utilize nlne-tentnS of the
heat. while present motors use about one
tenn. The motor is so constructed that
in generating power for the operation OF
any plant the steam can be sent through
the building as heat, while attached to
the motor is a dynamo which generates
the electricity for lighting the building.
Applied to street cars. it will do away
with power houses and trolley wires AS
applied to vessels it will not only prOpel,
but light and heat the ship as well. The
Pennsylvania road has been examining
the motor and is anxious to see II given
q practical test.
Professor Kent, the greatest engineer
ing expert of New York, says in his
opinion it is one of the greatest inventions
of the age. New York capitalists are
after the invention, but their Overtures
have beer refused by the owners. Judge
Seney of this city is half owner of the
patent and has taken out patents cover
ing fourteen countries The enterprise
is now in practical shape to begin the
manufacturing of the motor, and a heav-
lily capitalized stock company will soon
be organized
