In Fit OF Dependency Mrs. Anna

Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence.
Spring City, sanpete Co.. July 3, 1892,
Anna Hansen. wife OF James Hansen,
committed suicide yesterday morning
She has had poor health during the
past two years, and lately her aftlic-
ton has affected her mind, and at
times she would become respondent.
On awakening about o'clock yester-
day morning, her husband was sur
prlsed at not finding her in her room.
Mr. Hansen went into the kitchen
where he found his wife bleeding pro-
fusely from deep cash In her throat
and a butcher knife on the floor be-
side her. She was still alive. and re-
manned conscious. after' the arrival of
neighbors, for a couple of hours, dying
about 8 a. m. The funeral viii be
held at the residence on Saturday. Mr.
Hansen is one OF our respected and
substantial citizens, and he has the
sympathy Of the entire community In
his sad bereavement.
NoN-PARTIsANs" TURN DOWN
GOOD MAN.
Considerable dissatisfaction exists
among the people over the actions OF
the supposedly non-partisan school con-
vention which met at Mantl on Satur-
day our present superintendent OF
schools, George Christensen, is
popular and efficient officer, and except
TO the political place hunter, has given
entire satisfaction. It was generally
conceded by the people that Mr.. Chris
Jensen was entitled to re-nomina-
ton, but the politicians decreed other
wise. and Mr.. Christensen was turned
down. To lay member, II appears
to be poor policy, especially In
school officers for community to turn
down a man OF Mr.. Christensen's ability
and standing In order to make room for
political aspirant.

WORE COSTUMES
 LOW IN FRONT
More Evidence in Libel Suit of
 Theosophist Leader
SECT OF PECULIAR MOURNE
Most important Testimony Yesterday Was Consideration of Testimony of Louis Fllch, Who Formerly
 Lived at Point Loma.

San Diego, Cal. December 22-In the libel suit of Katherine Tingley, the the osophlst leader against the Los Angeles Times, consideration was resumed today of the affidavit of Louis Fileh, formerly a bookkeeper at the Point Loma home. The court excluded those parts of Filch's deposition bearing on Mrs. Tingley's claim to superhuman power; as to il- treatment of inmates of the home, and as to the overworixlng of Miss Bergman, a Swedish music teacher from the royal academy of Stockholm. Filch in his de- position says he left Point Loma simply because he wanted to get away from the place. He described his relations with Mrs. Tingley at the time of his departure as an "armed neutrality" Concerning the various ceremonies, Filch says he never spread any thought waves, to his knowledge, but that he joined the others when they assumed to he spreading thoughts, saying:
 q did what the rest did-stand there like a dummy"
 When asked as to the costumes worn, he said
  as the average gown. One with toga crossed in the front and brought around in the back was indecent in it's effect"
 Describing the garments of the crafts men, he said they left the arms and legs bare These were worn on ceremonial occasions.
 Mrs. hose r. Filch, wife of Louis Filch also made a deposition before the Hart ford, Conn, commissioner She was six months at the home and her child was in Mrs. Tingley's school. Mrs. Filch con- sidered the teaching very old fashion. The fashion of Dr. Jerome Anderson of San Francisco, who was once member of Mrs Tingley's cabinet, was then brought up. He bought home at Point Loma, and thought all the deeds to the property were in Mrs. Tingsley's name. A fence surrounded the homestead and there were guards about the premises who were armed with revolvers.

MAN KILLED IN
 4 SMOKING GAR.
3. EWING SHOT DEAD BY FREDERICK L. STEPHENSON, A RAILWAY CLERK OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY-LATTER DRUNK.

Atlanta Ga. December 22.-A man named James B. Ewing. whose home is said to be in Indiana, was shot and killed tonight in the smoking compart- ment of a north bound Southern Rail- way train, by Frederick L. Stephenson, a railway clerk of the Southern Railroad Stephenson lives in Atlanta. According to all accounts obtainable, Stephenson was intoxicated. The train was stopped at the Peters street station, where Stephenson was taken off and arrested.
 Passengers on the train knew very lit- tie about the killing and there appears to have been no eye witness to the deed. The affair occurred in the smoking car. A pistol shot was heard and man was seen to fall back dead The man who was killed had been standing in the aisle. The man with the pistol in his hand was sitting on the seat The con ductor and a number of passengers seized Stephenson until officers came to take him.

NO PANIC IN DEUTSCHLAND.
Passengers Deny Sensational Report
 About the Accident.

Paris, December 22.-Passengers on the Deutschland arriving here today deny the sensational reports printed in London, all leging that there was a panic on board that ship Saturday night. The facts are as follows
 Comparatively few of the passengers were aroused by the noise, many of them not knowing anything had occurred un- til the following morning
 "The officers and crew did not display the slightest uneasiness, and there was no interruption of the usual discipline. The few passengers remaining up took the af- fair lightly, circulating jooular reports, which, perhaps were the basis for the sensational reports. At no time was there the slightest panic among the men and women. Within an hour the ship was again under steam and her arrival at Plymouth was only slightly delayed.

patriotism across the republic, Oliver r. Pease, the trainmaster of the Southern Pacific at Gila Bend, N, NJ, jumped his reservation and put his name on the muster-roll of the rough riders. Before he left he wired his resignation to his chief and turned his office over to his wife, little woman whose head was as good a business proposition as 1t was pleasant to look upon.
 For some time before her marriage Mrs, Pease had been a telegraph oper- ator on the line and since that happy event, had been often called upon to help in the office Gila Bend, a little place in the middle of a long division was as Lonesome a place as a coal and water station in vast. sandy desert could be and ii was impossible to keep office help any length of time In the interval that always elapsed between the leaving of one clerk and the arrival of his successor Mrs. Pease filled the place and now, on the defection of her spouse the knowledge so gained was very valu- able. Repeatedly she wired that the office was without a head and finally there came a little printed circular that noti- fled all concerned in the bold phrase ology of railroaddom that Mrs Mona Pease, is hereby appointed acting train master at Gila Bend, vice o. F. Pease, resigned.
 'The train and enginemen grinned and thought what a snap 1t would be having woman boss and prematurely congrat- ulated themselves on the easy time they would have.
 "Just at this time the road was rush ed to it's utmost capacity handling the great volume of supplies for the gov ernment, but from the Gila Bend office there came no complaint, nor was there mistake, a veteran executive could have done no better"
 "One day, month or so after her ap- pointment the general superintendents car rolled into Gila Bend, and that gray, old official stood beside the open office window and watched, with shamlessly open approbation, the dainty little train master" as she went into the details with a big engineer who had carelessly run through an open switch, and when, after a scathing comment on his negli- gence, she told the engineer he could take a thirty-day vacation to improve his eyesight," the official seemed satis-

HAD POWER LIKE JEsus.D
pr. Bobo Makes Startling Statement
 About His Partners Ability.

Detroit, December 22.-Drs. James M. Peebles, Walter Bobo, and Charles M. Green of the Peebles Institute of Health, Battle Creek. Mich, were convicted by a jury in the United States court here to- day of violating the postal laws A thirty days stay of proceedings was granted.
 It was charged that advertisements of their mental "cure' by mail for all sorts of ills constituted an attempt to obtain money by fraud. During the trial Dr. Bobo testified that he believed Dr. Peeblees had a healing power like that of Jesus, only that the doctors power was smaller. pr. Bobo admitted that if a patient at a distance managed to procure Dr. Peebles' signed instructions and fol- lowed them faithfully, the cure would not be effective if the patient had not paid the fee of s1. It is said that the Peebles' institute had been doing four ishing business.

TOBACCO WAR IS ON.
Retail Association Will Begin Fight
 on American Tobacco Go.

New York. December 22.-The Retail Cigar and Tobacco Dealers association of Greater New York has decided to be- gin it's active campaign against the Amer ican Tobacco company on several lines.
 By an unanimous resolution, the mem- bers of the association pledged themselves not to purchase any new brand of to- bacco from the company after January 3, 19OS Another resolution also passed unanimously that the members will, on January l, remove from their show win dows and stores all advertising matter of the combine and will, as far as possi- ble. remove it's goods from their shelves and keep them out of sight. They will keep only those brands of it's tobacco which are standard and for which there is an active demand.
 It was decided that committee of ten should visit all the labor organizations of the city and request them to abstain from using the combines goods and help in the fight. It was ordered that every member of the association place in his window a placard which shall show that he is on the side of the independents.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
z ONIETIMEs railroad com @S panies go out side the beaten
 g paths of rule and tradition

SA panles go out slde the pealeh
 K1 paths of rule and tradition and make innovations that to say the least, are rather startling," said an old railroad man yesterday. "Take for in- stance the Southern Pacific's experiments with women.
 Several years ago old Charlie Crock er,' as he was familiarity called by al- most every employe of the system, pre- vailed on the directorate of the road to | educate a young girl as a reward for particularly daring and meritorious ac- ton. All of this girls early life had been spent among the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico, where her only com panions had been her parents and the man who acted as fireman on the loco- motive her father run. She was a rail- road girl from top to toe and her knowl- edge of railroad craft, backed by a good healthy nerve had enabled her to avert what would unquestionably have been an awful wreck.
 Her reward was an education such as few girls of her station in life ever got She had the benefit of the full course at one of the best educational institutions in the west and at the completion of the university course was at her own request given a course in mechanical engineering.
 Her schooling finished she was given a place on the staff of the superintend- ent of motive power at a nice salary. The men in the office said 1t was pen sion and were disposed to smile when asked about the lady mechanic; said she could check up time and audit ex- pense accounts and do other routine work of the kind but--well who ever heard of a lady mechanlcZ'
 Less than two years after her gradu- ation she submitted plans and specified tions for a new type of mountain en- zine. There were a number of new ideas in these plans and they were so well worked out that the company decided to try them, and some of those engines built from the girls plans are in use today on the mountains.
 Tt was a rude shock to the masculine element when the lady snatched so valu- able prize from them, and they com menced to wonder what this phenomenal girl would do next. She did what they all do if the right man comes along.
 "One day a big official Of an eastern railroad went through the shops and of- fees No one ever knew how 1t happened but, like thunder from a clear sky came the announcement that the lady was to retire from her chosen vocation. She traded mechanics for matrimony and the first lady mechanical engineer was transformed into what she is today-a very happy wife.
 Fifteen years slipped by and no wo- man in America advanced beyond a bare clerkship. Then, in '9S when the thunder of Deweys guns sent a mighty wave of

 Tt has been only about two months since I came through Gila Bend on my way back east, after a fruitless journey to California in search of work. One of the train men directed me to the train masters office, and I pushed open the door, but tried to back out again. I thought I had invaded some ones pri- yate quarters. There were clean, white curtains at the windows and a carpet on the floor, and everything looked sus- pieiously clean for a railroad office
 Before I could get myself together, however, a neat little woman came to the railing from behind a big desk and asked what I wanted. I t-id her I was looking for the trainmaster.
 "I hold that position" she said, and then she asked me what she could do for me.
 'T explained that I was looking for work and pulled out bunch of service letters and a travelling card.
 ''She looked the letters over, acknowl- edged they were all right but added, T am sorry, for I need men just now, but you are much too old to enter our service; the age limit for new men is 35

 Failing to get job, I asked for trans portation east.
 Why certainly said this charming little official. Oliver, make the gentle man out a pass to Fl Paso. Railroad man looking for work.
 When I got outside again, I learned that the clerk who made out my pass was the erst-while trainmaster. He had come back from Cuba as fit as ever for his old position but was informed that the present incumbent was giving entire satisfaction and no change would be made, so he made the best of it by talk ing a clerkship in his wifes office.
 Mrs Mona Pease is probably the only woman in America, if not in the world. who has achieved a position of this kind and who holds it by reason of aeknowl- edged ability.
