there. Martha went with him out
to the gate. reached out my
big sunburned hand, and she took
it in both her own and held it
quite a bit, and she said: "Ben-
ME, I'm sorry you're going to the
war. You're to young man and
too good a man to stand up and
be shot at" Then Jim appeared
on the scene, and I went away
half cursing my honest hand for
being as big and brown, while
Jim's was as white as a lily, with
a great flashing diamond on
the smallest of his slender fingers.
Talk about standing up as a

SCHWAB'S PALACE CAR.
Steel Trusts President To Have Finest Travel
ing Home In the World.

The finest private car in the world is
nearing completion in the shops of the
Pullman Palace Car Company at Pull
man, Ill. The owner is Charles nj.
Schwab, president of the United States
Steel Corporation, whose yearly salary
is stated to be $1,000 900. The cost of
this magnificent coach will be $40, 900.
The work on the car has ben conduct
ed with such secrecy that the facts
have only just leaked out.
The Schwab travelling home is sew
enty feet of elegance. The whole is in
Louis XIV. style. Every piece of furni-
ture is of a special and hand-carved
design. The brass bedsteads-one in
Mr.. Schawb's private room, the other
in his wife's, cost nearly $1,000 each,
and are hand chased. The tapestries,
damasks and velours used in the up
holstering cover the finest curled white
hair. Mr.. Schawb's room is finished
in red. His wifes is in blue. The din
ing-room tone is green. Mahogany
the wood chiefly used, but there is
much inlaid work which calls for
maple, holly wood and birch. Tiffany
art glass is in the ventilating windows
at the top Of the car.
An artist was imported from Boston
to do the elaborate ceiling and panel
painting This artist is a woman, M.
Annette Frisbe. Architect j. Frank
Jobson is satisfied that no private car
as handsome ever rolled over rails. A
bathroom opens from the rooms of Mr.
Schwab and his wife. The dining
room will seat sixteen. The kitchen
and refrigerating plant place every
facility at the service of the chef. The
observation in this Louis XIV. home is
twenty feet long and the window area
is so great that the occupants will feel
almost as if they were riding out Of
doors.
NJ Schwab is expected to receive his
palace on wheels soon.

Deafness Cannon be Cured.

By local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
iamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
IS the result, and unless rne infam-
nation can be taken out and the tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall 8

BOYS STRANGE STORY.
Salt Lake Youth Confesses the Murder OF
Patrick Collins.

A Salt Lake dipatch of yesterday
says:
Clyde Felt, the fifteen-year-old boy
who yesterday stated to the police that
he had concealed the body of Samuel
Collins, the aged watchman of the Wa
satka mineral springs, after the latter
down and confessed that he had cut the
old mans throat in little cave above
Warm Springs. stripped the body Of
clothing, bound it, and after walling
up the enrance with stones had buried
the blood stained clothes.
Young Felt said that he had cut the
old mans throat only after long urging
by Collins, who insisted that he wanted
to die and was afraid to commit sui
eide himself.
Early this morning Felt, in company
with two policemen, climbd the hills
in the vicinity of the cave to search
for Collins valise, which the boy said
the old man had hidden on the day Of
his death.
Felt led the officers up and down the
hillside in an aimless manner for
time and finally stopping admitted that
the story of the valise was myth. that
Collins never had one, and that the
crime had been committed by himself
after Collins had begged him for hours
to commit the deed.
He had frequently asked me to do
it for him. said the boy. but was
afraid to. Finally l did. Then when he
was dead / took off his clothes, threw
the razor upon the bank and walled in
the cave
From statements made by other boys
in the neighborhood of where the trag-
edy was committed, however, the police
believe that young Felt's story has not
been half told, and that behind the
tragedy is a tale of moral degeneracy
and conspiracy among number of
young boys who were in the old mans
power that finally eliminated in Col
Inns DEATH
A number of arrests will probably be
made before night. Young Felt, ac-
cording to the police. was a constant
reader of dime novels A number OF
them have been found at his home.

BETTER PRICE FOR METALS.
Outlook Good for Advance in Silver, Copper
and Lead.

The American Smelling and Refining
Company's new plant at Salt Lake City
will be started up about May 1st. The
smelter has cost more than $1,000,0 900.
The president of the company, Simon
Gugggenheim, is of the opinion that the
coming twelve months will see a great
improvement in the market price and
the demand for all metals. He says:
THE outlook for silver. / think. has
improved because the prospect of pass
ing the Philippine coinage bill is good
The measure will provide a new market
for the metal and will, / think, mate
rally affect the price. Just what price
may be reached l am not prepared to
say.
THE lead situation Is more ros aate.
This is caused by the prosperity all
over the country. The farmers are
painting their houses and that means
cunt of lead used in making white
lead. Then the great amount of con-
struction work which is being done all
over the country will require CORES
ponding amount of lead pipe. l believe
that the market for that metal will be
much improved.
Copper, l believe, will rise in price
somewhat because of an agreement be-
tween the various interests which will
probably be made in the next twelve
months. / do not believe copper will
go back where it was before-that is
not reasonable TO expect-but 1t may
go to 13 or IA cents, which is perhaps
a normal and natural price. The out
look may appear a little blue for some
of the meals just now, but l believe
that the future holds much better pros
pects.'

Better Than Pills.

TIL question has been asked, "In
what way are Chamberlain Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?"
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a ma
tural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by
