LIVING. YET DEAD.

In a German law journal may be
found a curious account of woman,
who. though actually living, is legally
dead. Some years ago she disappear
ed from her home and after three
wears had elapsed the court formally
pronounced her dead and turned over
her property to her next of kin. Soon
afterward she ret,Nned to her native
Mace. and as there was no question
AS TO her identity, she naturally
thought that she would have no diff
cu)tv in recovering her property. The
court. however, fatty refused to COM
ply with her request.
"You have been declared dead, II
virtually said, "and it is impossible TOR
us to regard you as living
Thereupon the woman appealed 10
a higher court, but her labor was IN
vain. for the verdict of the lower
court was upheld and, moreover, an
official notice was issued to the ef'
feet that the plaintiff, having formally
been declared dead, could not no"
he restored to life, as the law under
stands that word, and must remain
dead until doOmsday.

BUNTERS IN DEMAND.
Scientific Batsmen Have Displaced
Sluggers Of Old.

Bunting is the basis of scientific
batting. No team can win games
without players who have mastered
the knack of using the soft bat,
and tapping along first and third
base lines the eXasperatingly slow
grounders that are so difficult to
handle.
Each year the Importance of the
bunt increases, and the salaries of its
exponents soar upward keeler gets
$4,000 per season, the highest wages
ever paid player, mainly because he
knows how to make safe hits with
out putting the ball out of the dia-
mond Fultz is drawing $4,000 for
pretty much the same reason.
Baltimore and Brooklyn won be-
tween them half a dozen pennants
because Hanlon was able to impart
the knack of bunting to his men.
Gomlskey was twice successful in
Chicaso through. the same knowledge
Inc Boston Americans and the Pitts
ourg Nationals, who are now leading
the mejor league races, both have
three or four expert scientific stickers.
Bunting is the game that wins, and
no team can pull down championships
without it. The days have passed
"hen sheer sluggers of the type of

you And in the future, when time
will be no more with us as far as this
life is concerned, it may be said OF us
that we were amiable and had dropp-
ed seeds of kindness along LIES path

At that time our wealth will be no
more with us, but our kind acts will
live i'm the hearts and memories OF
those who are left behind. DO not let
life's burdens bear down and make us
miserable, it matters not what they
may be-for by yielding to spells OF
dependency we are unable to Crap

Therefore, we say to all, endeavor to
be happy and cheerful, come what

Cache Valley is looked upon as one
of the foremost valleys in the state for
the raising of good horses, and that a
race track is not supported here does
not speak well for the valley. Many
people in Salt Lake City look upon
our county as the place to get good
driving animals, and 1t would seem
that some enterprising man or men
would make money out of such a
reputation. A splendid track should
be built where the horses might be
shown to the best advantage. With
those who delight in driving good
horses, a track would serve as a means
Of enjoyment and pleasure, and profit
could be derived as well. Ifthere was a
good track here, semi-yearly meets could
be brought about, and immense crowds
of people drawn here. In the good old
days of yore, when "three days drill"
was INDUCED in, people all over the
valley would look forward to these
days with many pleasant anticipa-
tions. In those times there were
competitions in wrestling and other
like sports, but so far as public
pleasures. go, the county seems to
have laid down, and no attention is
now given these gala days. Let us
encourage those who are interested in
the race track proposition. Let the
old town be livened up once more.

40 Bt OR MOTTO BE-"

The failure of Logan to secure the
proposed condensed milk factory, gives
weight to statements made in former
issues of The REPUBLICAN in regard
to the necessity of board of trade or
commercial organization, and we take
opportunity to again urge the matter
upon the city's business men. Al
though Mayor Hansen states that
Richmond's natural advantages are
responsible for the location of the
plant there, is it not barely possible
that board of trade or a committee
from the same, composed of wcll-in-
formed, energetic and diplomatic bust
ness men, could have presented Lo-
gan's advantages in such way as to
make the advantages of other towns
appear insignificant, and convinced the
promoter that Logan was the place
for him to stop? We have no doubt
that this city will survive the blow
in fact it may be doubted whether any
one except Mayor Hansen and John
BalitT have been struck-for if there
was not enough interest manifested
to go after the proposition, the regret
will not be widespread nor deep. And
therein lies the difficulty. Are the
business men doing as big business as
they care to do, or do they realize the
extent of their capacity and hesitate
TO have their business grow beyond
them? Or is it some afIectation due
to the altitude. Possibly this milk
factory was not proposition of sum
Gent Importance to attract their at
tention, yet unless small matters of
the kind are attended TO there is little
likelihood of greater things receiving
any more attention. If Logan is to
grow and become the city that she
rightly ought to be, there must be
some united effort put forth by the
men who are in a position to com.
mand the situation.

Who is going to solicit subscriptions
for the improvement and maintenance
of the tabernacle square? Various
public spirited citizens have express.
ed a desire to contribute literally for
such a purpose, and there is little
doubt that by "A systematic and deter

terested, sufficient money can be Sc
cured to make almost any improve
ment there that may be desired In
view of these facts, is it possible that
no one will take the matter in hand
and push it? The time is ripe for action
the matter has been agitated TO such
an extent that everybody feels deep
interest and it would seem that some
prominent churchmen or a number of
them might volunteer to take up the
matter.
