A Cheerful Prediction
Comes from Secretary
James Wilson.
RETURN FROM IOWA TRIP
Finds the Crop Outlook Encouraging,
and Says Yield Must Be Fed to Cat
ue-Discusses Market Prospects and
Food Outlook.

The Secretary of Agriculture, who has
Just returned from trip through the
West. prophesies that if frost holds of
Tor another month beef will be cheaper
by the holidays. The Secretary bases
his prognostication on the fact that
there was but two thirds of 4 corn crop
last year and the farmers did not have
enough corn to feed their cattle.
Tie cause for the increase in beef
prices was natural says Mr.. Wilson.
"and beef viii be made cheaper also BY
natural causes. We have an enormous
corn crop in the West. and if the frost
holds off until about September 90 the
most of the crop win mature. The farm
ers viii have plenty Of corn. and it will
not be worth so much as it has been.
They will begin to feed it to the cattle
at once. and by the holidays there will
be plenty of fat cattle ready fer the
market to make cheaper fresh beef.
think we can safely predict cheaper beef
for the Christmas dinner TO those who
prefer roast beef 10 roast turkey"
Beef Supersedes Other Meat.
Secretary Wilson does not expect,
however. that the price of beef will go
down to where it was several gNars ago.
While there has been considerable in
crease in the number of cattle raised In
the country during the last ten years.
as shown by the last census, the de
mand has increased in greater ratio than
the supply. During the era CT prosper
ity the workingmen OF the country be
came accustomed TO the use c. beef
Now they demand the best of the meats.
Beef has superseded pork and mutton
with the laboring classes. The consump-
tion OF beef has been greater in its in
crease than that CT any other meat
product.
There is another reason for keeping
the price of beef higher than it was
several years ago says Mr. Wilson.
THAT is the increased demand from
Europe. There has been drought in
Australia That will cut down the ex-
portation OF frozen meat from that
country to Europe. There will be an
increased demand for American beef.
But the prices will be lower than they
have been for the last several months.

Ignorant of the Business.

Upon cross-examination by Attorney
Moore. Smith stated that while he had
been carrying people to Jackson City for
six weeks. he did not know what kind
of business was carried ON in the houses
there. He stated that before the fire
he had been paid by La Fontaine for
driving the horses and bus TO Jackson
City but that afterward his paymaster
had been Foster. He said that he re-
ceived pay afterward for taking care
of the team which he had driven.
Questions tending to make the witness
testify that he had cOnversed about the
fire with one William Smith in Almnn's
saloon al the corner of Fourteenth and
Streets southwest, few nights after
the fire were answered in the negative.
The William Smith referred to was call
ed into the room and William j. Smith
the witness, said he had never seen him
before The witness testified that he
did rot know what had become of the
other two men VINO rode over with him
in the bus.
The trial will be resumed at $50
o'clock this morning.

Pleaded for Time.

The case was postponed from last Men
day to permit Mr.. Beach to secure his
witnesses. but when the case was called
yesterday. he again p'caded fer more
time, stating that he had been unable
TO secure Robert Wells. Of Upper Marl-
boro, in whose possession the book is
supposed to be at the present time. At
torney Robinson White, representing
the defendant. entered a most vigorous
protest against further delay and jus
tice Morrison decided that ample time
had already been given o MIR. Beach to
secure his Witnesses.
Dever Rollins testified that in a talk
with Wegher the defendant had told
him that he had taken the book from
the hands of McGrcsor, who is en-
ployed by Beach Wegner also told wit
ness that this book contained entries of
payments of money made to Sheriff
Hardesty, Constable Heard and other
officers of the county TO insure Beach
immunity from arrest for alleged viola
tions of the law.

THE HOT SEASON.

Utah, fortunately, Is not suffering
frorn heat prostration. Even when the
days are hot, as they in all probable
ty win be for the next thirty days,
the nights are cool and pleasant, and
It is. consequently, easier TO withstand
the higher temperature during the
daytime. The heat is less enervating,
because II Is broken by the fresh noun

tons are recommended by medical men,
against a malady which yearly carries
of n great number Of victims.
A Baltimore doctor, quoted by the
Sun, Of that city says one OF the
most important precautions Is the pro-
lection Of head and spine from the d.
rect rays Of the sun. Straw hats are
practically Of no protective value. In
India all helmets are Of pith or cork,
with ventilation in the crown for free

Linen suits are recommended as more
healthful and more practical from ev-

The excessive use Of stlmulants Is an
other bad thing. Even iced drinks Of
harmless nature invite sunstroke II

These suggestions seem TO be followed

burns extremely hot, cover their heads
and shoulders with great care. while
they freely expose the lower extreml-

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

The school election in this county,
and In others so far as we have learned,
passed off quietly but yet with consid-
cradle interest. The incumbent who
has made an excellent record in this
county. was reelected by a pronounced
majority. II is evident that the people
din not desire at present any change
in the management of school analis'
Party politics should not figure In such
elections. This doubtless had something
10 do with the result, 1t appears TO US
that II would be better, on future oc-
casions, to eliminate politics from our
school affairs entirely ana let the can
didates for school positions stand on
their own merits, Irrespective OF other
considerations. In the present instance
either of the nominees would be found
Efficient and capable. The result should
be accepted cheerfully by all our clti-
zens. and such aid as may be found
necessary should be extenied TO Super
intendent Ashton by people OF all par'
ties and persuaslons We believe the
school affairs of the county viii be
handled carefully, prudenty and In a
manner every way satisfactory. The
majority cast for the incumbent is a
flattering token Of the esteem In which
he is held by the public. We wish him
continued success.

OBLIGATORY SERVICES.

Next Saturday, July 10, will be the
twenty-hfth anniversary OF the estab-
lishment by President Brigham Young
Of quarterly conferences for the Relief
Societies, the first being held at Og-
den for the societies Of the Weber Stake
OF Zion. The ladies Of that Stake have
recently erected q meeting house for
their organization, and It Is intended to
have Il dedicated next Saturday. as a
fitting time for the purpose The late
President Franklin D. Richards took
great interest in the organization there
and elsewhere,a and MrsJane SRichards,
who survives him, has always been an
active worker in the Relief Societies OF
the Stake and Of the whole Church.
We congratulate her and her counselors
on the completion Of their building at
Ogden, and hope they will have a joy
full reunion at the dedication. We acll.
nowledge the receipt OF kind invita-
tion to attend the services, and It is
hoped the First Presidency will honor
the occasion by their presence. We
have no doubt that large numbers Of
the people Of Weber county will assem-
Bile AMI enjoy the dedicatory exercises.

KING AND CORONATION.

The recovery Of King Edward seems
to be progressing with more rapldlty
than was expected when the seriousness
Of his condition first became known.
His railroad trip and short cruise on
board the royal yacht are reported to
have had no bad effects. Oficially Il
Is announced that he was not fatgued
after the voyage, nor in the least dis
tressed by the transfers incident to the
Journey.
The Kings illness commenced on
the 10th Of June, just a month ago, and
the operation was performed on the
2ith. That he so soon after the per-
Torrance Of n delicate operation, is able
to travel by land and sea, without
fatigue, is remarkable The fact must
be taken as evidence that whatever
the indlscretions of his early youth may
have been, he has certainly not broken
down his constitution by a life OF dis
slpation and revelry. Broken constitu-
tons do not recuperate In a short time.
Scandal mongers have been refuted by
the facts, or course, It will take
months yet, before his majesty's health
is fully restored,
The coronation is now set for some day
between the Sth and nth of August
procession and no other very fatgulng
ceremonies, This, no doubt, Is dlsap-
pointing to British ambition. Nations,
like individuals, desire to make dis
plays, when they can afford II. and
Great Britain certainly could have
made a magnificent showing on this
occasion. A modest coronation cere-
mony has really no meaning in a coun-
try as democratic as Great Britain. 1t
Is the outward display that counts,
by giving the world q demonstration OF
the loyalty of the citizens, the re-
sources, the strength. the wealth and
magnificence Of the nation. There Is
advantage in such display, and Great
Britain was prepared to make II, as
never before, Hence the dlsappoint-
menG sim, there will be genuine joy,
that the King was spared, and in this
the rest Of the world viii participate.
There has been some talk about tbs
enormous loss sustained by the Lon
don people on account OF the postpone
ment Of the coronation. But, as Is
usual, the first estimates appear TO
have been exaggerated. The stands are
said TO have cost in the nelghborhood of
s15O'OOO, and most Of this Is lost. but |
the owners have In some instances !
made the purchasers Of tickets carry |
this loss. Then restaurants, cafes and |
hotels had laid In stocks Of provisions,
much Of which persisted. Flowers, too,
fell enormously In price, as soon as the
postponement was announced, and |
some lost heavy on their investment.
But German florists came In for a
share Of this loss for many OF the
flowers were sent to London to commits
sion houses. to be sold for the best
price that they would bring.
A great number of people had pur-
chased their clothes and jewels, and the
certainly had a lourshing
trade for some time, Notwithstanding
the necessity of postponing the ceebra-
tlon Taken all In all, the financial dis
aster has not been great, except to
those who expected to make enormous
profit of visitors. and suddenly saw
their hopes and calculations broken
and scattered.

THE JonNsrowN DISASTER,
st. Louis World.

Johnstown appears TO be the unluckl-
est city In the world. The terrible dis
aster that occurred there years ago Is
still fresh In mind and II Is called TO
memory now by the fearful mine ex-
ploslon that took place there on
Wednesday. Latest details OF the aw-
full disaster say that only $50 OF the 600
men imprisoned In the mine will es-
cape with their lives The disaster Is
said TO have come through the careless
ness Of a miner striking match. This
caused the explosion. The mines In
Pennsylvania nowadays are lighted
with electricity and this accounts for
the few accidents in them In recent
years. Under ordinary circumstances,
therefore, there would have been no
accident and but for the carelessness
of the miner who liet the match there
would have been no sad story TO tell,

Milwaukee Wisconsin.

No new lesson Is taught by the mine
accident at Johnstown, Pennsylvania,
which has resulted In the death of 200
men. But the sad happening points
anew to the fact that the one lesson OF
such disasters-the need Of perfect veh
tilation--ls not needed as practically or
as perslstently as 1t should be. 1t is
Of course difficult matter to estab-

ton cannot be accomplished.

Now concerning the verse quoted by

the Doctrine and Covenants. The Sons
Of perditlon" are spoken Of as the "only
ones who shall not be redeemed In the

Wherefore He saves all except them"
All the rest are TO be brought forth by
the resurrection Of the dead into some
degree Of glory. but these are to come
