HEALTH OF THE CITY.
There are Now Eighty-six Gases OF
Smallpox in Quarantine.

There WIRE twenty-seven deaths re-
ported to the board of health during the
week ending Feb. d Twenty-one OF the
number were residents Of the city; tWeiNe
of the decedents were males ana Iliteeh
females. Six bodies were brought netS
for interment and three were shlpped 20
other points for burial. The births re-
ported for the same period were ten IN
excess of the previous week, and three
more than for the same week last year.
Ten were males and sixteen females.
The new cases of scarlet fever increased
as compared with last week, but the
total number of remaining in quarantine
is less. Twenty-four cases were retained
over from last week and six new ones
developed; fourteen cases recovered and
one case resulted fatally, leaving fifteen
cases with warning signs displayed.
Diphtheria decreased from eighteen last
week to five for the period covered by
this report; six cases having recovered
and one dying, left twenty cases in quar-
antine as compared with twenty-five Tor
the preceding week
One case of smallpox was imported dur
ing the week and twenty-five cases de-
veloped in the city; nineteen of the TWEEN
ty-three were among adults over Is years
of age, and but one of this number
showed results of vaccination, and this
case shows doubtful scar. Thus far
in February there have been sixty-seven
cases of smallpox reported to the board
of health. and these, with the ones held
over from January, increase the number
in detention to eighty-six, which is six
more than for the week preceding.

APPLE GROWING
Is PROFITABLE
HorticuIturists Predict Great Fu-

WILL SOON EXCEL ALL OTHERS
FRUIT RAISING DISCUSSED AT
YESTERDAYS MEETING.


7 Salt Lake county is fast coming to
the front as the best county in Utah
for the raising of apples. and bids fair
to excel all others in the state in that
branch of horticulture within the next
few years.
That was the consensus of opinion
of the members of the Salt Lake Coun-
ty Horticultural society; who met yes
terday afternoon in Judge Stewards
court room in the joint building for the
purpose of listening to papers and dis
cussing the same on the best small
fruits for local raising and for the Salt
Lake market
President Boyee of Granite, who pre-
sided, read a paper on Small Fruits
Best Suitable for the Salt Lake Mar
ket." He designated the following va
rieties: Strawberries-Jessie Marshall
and Bubach. Raspberries-Cuthbe

berries-Snyder. ewberries-Lucre-

was the theme of L. Hemenway OF
Granger. He had made a great success
in raising the fruit in this county.
Some of his trees he has sold for $40
each. His crop this year Melted him
more than $500. Three years ago he
was begged by his family to cut down
his trees and SOW the orchard in hay
He recommended the following varie-
ties as the most profitable for growth
in this county: yellow Transparent,
Early Harvest, Red Astrican, Straw
berry, Wealthy, Alexander, r. /. Green
ing, Johnathon, Grimes Golden w
Permain, Ben Davis, Newton's Spleen
berg, Winesapp, Newton's Pipin and
LaWber. .r
A. Brown of Centerville said his
cherry orchard, covering six acres
which is only nine years Old melted
him $4,000 this year. He picked twenty
tons of cherries.
J. III. Fisher of East Mill Creek read
a paper on peaches. He had list o.
nineteen varieties suitable for this eli
mate, including the famous Alexander

ANOTHER COAST MYSTERY.
May Develop Into White Elephant
Before Very Long.

One of the coast mysteries which is at
tracing attention is new road Wnlcn
has been started near Los Angeles.
Rumors have been current as to the
promoters. 1t has been charged time and
again that George J. Gould Is behind the
scheme Men are at work On the road
and rights of way have been secured be-
tween the coast and the mountains.
It is said that the road Is headed Tor
Salt Lake, and that the same people VINO
are interested in the Moffat enterprise
are interested in this road. Whether the
road is a bluff on the part of spectators
or whether the financiers back of il are
working under cover to further their own
interests is a matter of conjecture, but
until some sponsor can be found Tor the
enterprise it is safe to presume that some
of the rich men of the country VIII De

DEMAND FOR SKILLED
LABOR ON THE COAST

San Francisco, Feb. 21.-Since the ac-
QUESTION of the Philippines by the
United States and the opening up of
Oriental and South Sea island trade to
Americans the business of this port has
increased to such a remarkable degree
that in some branches of manufacture
skilled labor has been hard TO obtain.
This is especially true in the manufac-
ture of saddlery and harness of all
kinds, and the local manufacturers and
exporters in this line have been Obliged
to send an agent east to engage suffi-
cient help to supply the increasing de-
mand.

had secreted their horses, mounted
their steeds and disappeared.
A reward of $500 was offered for the
arrest of Crunk, and $50 for the deten-
ton of Cannon. Circulars describing
the two men were sent all over this
section of the west
One of them fell into the hands of a
Rio Grande Western passenger con-
ductor. Soon after that man answer
ing the description of Crunk boarded
his train in the vicinity OF the Lucin
cutoff and rode with him to Salt Lake,
reaching here Friday night
The more the conductor studied the
description of Crunk the more thor
oughly convinced he became that his
passenger was the man wanted by the
Rio Blanco authorities. When Salt
Lake was reached the conductor saw
Crunk leave the train. The conductor
followed him to the platform and looked
around for an officer, to confide his sus-
picions to him. The only one near him
was Nightwatchman WiIkin of the Rio
Grande Western. Hurriediy the con-
ductor told him of his suspicious. and
pointed Crunk out to him. Without
any further delay Wilkin walked up to
Crunk and placed him under arrest
Division of the Reward.
Sheriff Amick was notified of the ar
rest and came to Salt Lake yesterday
He Immediately identified Crunk, and
said he would return to Colorado with
him this morning. In the meantime
Cannon had been traced and captured,
and lodged in the Rio Blanco county
jail to await trial.
The legal phase of the matter. elm
mating the trial of the two men is, who
is entitled to the $500 reward for the
arrest of Crunk? The Rio Grande West
ern passenger conductor thinks ne
should have at least half of it for point
ing out Crunk to Wilkin, while the
Waterman thinks that $50 is all the
conductor is entitled to.
1t is a question which the courts may
be called upon to decide before the re-
ward money is paid.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.


Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of il the better; il is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal Sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating on
ions and other OdoTous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh-
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they
are composed Of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form. or, rather
in the form Of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath, and purer blood
and the beauty Of it is that no posi- bic
harm can result from their continued
use, but, on the contrary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF
the benefits Of charcoal, says; IT ad-
wise Stuart's Absorbent LozeEges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat. 1 also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but % cents a box at
drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation. yet I be-
lieve L get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
