COUNTING THE COST.

The question Of the actual losses Of
the Beers in the recent war. has always
been one OF mystery. The Beers them
selves did not issue bulletins with in
formation on that point, and the Brit
ish estimates were much exaggerated.
According to those bulletins more Beers
we're killed and captured than the two
republics ever had In the field
According to Red Cross society fig
ures. the total Boer loss by death dur
ing the entire war was about 44O0, OF
which $500 were killed In battle, or
died OF wounds received. while about
100 died in captivity as prisoners Of
war. This is supposed to be approx
linately correct figures. perhaps as
nearly correct as can ever be obtained.
II IL not a very heavy loss, consider
ing the length Of time the conflict last
ed, and the superior equipment Of the
British soldiers.
The British loss In deaths from
wounds and diseases. is given as $4,000.
That is, for every Boer killed, Great
Britain gave about FIVE Of her own
soldiers, besides the enormous outlay
n money. Everything considered. the
question is whether even victories can
not be bought too dearly, provided
there are other ways Of settling diff
cultles- arbitration. for instance.

THE FINDS AT NiPPuR.

The Rev. A. Il, Clay assistant OF
Professor Hiprecht, OF the Babylonian
Exploration expedition, contributes an
interesting article to Woman's Home
Companion, on the truly remarkable
archaeological finds at Nippur. The ar
ticie Is illustrated with fine pictures OF
the work done and the results achieved
Nlppur Is the Old Testament city
Calneh, and Is now regarded as the
most ancient city excayated. II Is SIT
uated midway between the Tigris ana
Euphrates rivers, about 30 miles from
the city OF Babylon. Previous to the
arrival Of the American explorers, there
was nothing to see except mounds OF
hills rising up from the surrounding
plain. Now II Is show that these
mounds are the monuments under
which past civilizations have found
grave.
Among the illustrations shown In MI
Cloy's article Is Keystone arch; also
an enclosure resembling somewhat the
kings graves" near Jerusalem. There
is also drainage pipe made Of water
Jars,
one very important fact Is revealed
BY the excavations made at this place
And that is this, that the antiquities
Of the very earliest period about when
anything Is known for certain. prove
that the human race at that time was
very far advanced In civilization. The
earliest writings found are not plct-
orlal outlines, but well developed CHAR
acters. The gem cutters and sculp-
tors arts were further advanced than
they were subsequently in Babylonia
and II Is question whether those arts
are surpassed even in our own day.
This Is a matter of the utmost import
ance. For to some the doctrine OF slow
growth from the very crudest begin
ming has become almost an axiom. To
Others, IL seems more natural to be-
lleve, that man first appeared on earth
as a being enjoying a high degree OF
civilization, and that the waves OF civil
izatlon have risen and fallen several
times, according 10 the degree OF faith
fulness with which the position relating
TO mans eternal place Of origin has
been maintained. And archaeology, go
far, seems to favor this view.
The library found at Nippur Is GER
talnly among the most important dis
coveres. 1t contains perhaps loOOOO
tablets, every one of which belongs to
the period before Abraham. 1t is sup
posed that the creation and deluge
stories, as handed down by the Assy-
rians and Babylonians will be found
among these literary treasures ana
that a vast amount Of Information Oh
the earth's early history will be gained
Professor Hllprecht, we understand,
Will devote his life 10 the deciphering
and publication Of these tablets.

While II may be somewhat unusual

THE Presidents TOUR,
milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The spirit in which the people are
prepared to receive President Roosevelt
is indicated by what occurred at Hart
ford, Con-, where he was presented by
Father sullivan with beautiful floral
horseshoe, the gift Of ten thousand
workingmen Of that city, inscribed
"Workingmen' Welcome TO Our Pres
dent." As well he might be, President
Roosevelt was deeply touched by this
mark Of popular favor, and warmly ex-
pressed his appreciation Of It. The
speech which he delivered In a crowded
auditorium at Hartford touched brief
ly upon the policy Of the government
with refernece to its insular possessions,
explaining the situation in the Philip
pines, and containing q succinct and
clear declaration as to Cuba.

AUTHORITY TO MARRY

A county clerk In the south desires 10
be Informed, through the Deseret News
whether he has the right to perform
marriage ceremony by virtue of his OF
Zee. and II not by what authority the
county clerk OF Salt Lake county per-
forms SO many marriage ceremonies
He further wishes TO know whether II
win be proper for him to perform
marriage ceremony as an Elder IN the
church for parties who are not mem
bers of that Church and give a eeftih-
cate as an Elder
The answer Is, that he has no author
,ty. under the laws Of the state Vi
Utah, to perform a marriage ceremony
be virtue Of his Office as county clerk
The law is very plain on this matter
II is as follows
Marriages shall be solemnlzeu "

4. Ministers OF the Gospel or priests ~

nerformed in the Office Of the county

PECULIAR PROCEEDINGS.

Proceedings were had in the District
court on Wednesday, which are some
what peculiar. A motion was presented
on behalf Of the city, for leave to oceu-
by certain premises sought to be con-
denned as a site for a reservoir and
dam. The court ruled in favor OF the
motion, after hearing counsel on both
sides OF the case. This, however Is but
q temporary permission, so that the
city engineer may Investigate the prem
Uses and find out what will be actually
required to determine whether the site
is suitable for the purpose or not. But
this is part Of a proceeding for the con-
demnation Of the land in question for
reservoir site. The permission to pros
pect excludes the house, barn, spring
and portion OF a pasture contiguous
which are occupied by the defendant
The popularity Of the proceeding Is
that Salt Lake City has not taken se-
tion in this matter, nor has II author
lied any officer OF the city to commence
these proceedings II the counsel for
the defendant had inquired sufficiently
into the case, they might have pre-
scented their side in little different
light before the court. All that the city
engineer has been authorized 10 do By
the committee appointed to Investigate
the matter Of sites for reservoirs, is to
make preliminary examinations and re-
port to the committee. Anything fur
ther than that is without authority and
may be resisted by the parties IN pos
session
This has no bearing upon the ques-
ton Of the suitability OF the site Sc
lected without legitimate authority. No
one has been authorized by the COM
mittee to spend dollar in the direc-
ton now taken, and until so authorized
all such proceedings, whether In court
or out Of court. are without authority in
law.
The morning paper that has been
backing the city officials In their unau-
thorlzed actioL stated emphatIcally, at
