One inducement for the old farmer
to retain his home on his farm is the
great difference in the rate of taxation
which prevails between the country

ties. The cost of municipal government

erage 10000 farm is say, $685., while the
city tax on the same amount of mon

We want TO say a word about the
morality and patriotism connected
with the payment of small obligations.
We have found in our experience that
il is easier TO collect $50 from some
people than IL is the paltry sum Of half
a dollar. A mans credit in the com
munity in which he lives is largely de-
termined by the fidelity and prompt
ness with which he meets his small
obligations. This applies with special
force in the case Of men with limited
means to whom a creditable financial
rating to the extent of their ability Is
often of the very greatest value.

Then her mind became clear She
paused in deep thought and at it's end
raised her hand as if to beckon to a
cabman; but, changing her purpose,
she stepped into a doorway and read
once more the item in the paper that
the little boy had thrust under her eyes.
At the first glance one who knew
Brenda might have said that the story
lay outside her world and could not in
terest her. However, it was what a
journalist might call good news" and
therefore it was printed with the lines
very far apart by way of emphasis,
and it bore the marks of haste. Thus
it ran:
Elsie Miller. an actress living at 14s West Thir-
ty-eighth street. stabbed by person
known in her room this afternoon.
1t is a lodging house owned and occupied by
Mrs. Alice Simmons Miss Miller had lived in the
on the first floor for some months
The crime discovered by a servant, who
tered the room and found Miss Miller unconscious
the floor. DR.. A. G. Blair of 100 West Thirty
eighth street was hastily summoned, and he pro-
nounced the wound mortal. 1t is just below the
collar bone, on the left SIDE extending sharply
downward within the body and undoubtedly pierre
ing the outer wall of the heart. That Miss Miller
should have survived the wound longer than a few
seconds is regarded miraculous by DR.. Blair
and other physicians several of whom, including
Ambulance Surgeon Darlington of st. Winired's
hospital, at the house within few minutes
after the discovery Of the crime
The weapon was hunting knife, having a long
blade and deer's foot handle. The blade is Pc
culiar, being much thinner than that of the ord
nary hunting knife. 1t was found the floor
beside the body. servant says that she has seen
the knife in Miss Miers within the last
few days
On table in the letter which may
explain the whole affair. The police have it and
refuse to divulge it's contents but it is known
with an Office Broad street. He is the only son
of the late St. Clair Alden who practically dis
| inherited him.
| Miss Miller is very beautiful girl, tall and Of
the brunette type She is 20 years old. She play
| ed the part of Mamie in The Honeybee," an
unsuccessful comedy produced in this city two
years ago. Since then her work has not been seen
| here.
| Brenda walked down Broadway to
| Thirty-eighth street and turned west
ward. Immediately she perceived the
motley crowd which the news of the
crime had brought together. and she
hesitated. Then, shutting her lips
firmly together, she resumed her orig
inal purpose.

The house numbered 14S had a high
stoop and a yard the size of dinner
table, in which the grass was green and
we'll watered, though the neighboring
wards were brown with the heat and
drought of that remarkable month Of
June. The house itself had an air of
neatness and the favor of home, but
it's privacy had been invaded first by
crime and then by all the train that fol-
lows it. The door stood ajar for pry-
ing eyes. and the two gigantic police
men lounging at the head of the steps
seemed the chief intruders rather than
the guardians of the place. Brenda,
for all that was upon her mind. felt the
Dissertation and shuddered at it.
The policemen, who had been leaning
against the ratings. stood erect and
put their shoulders together as Brenda
assembled the steps. They seemed to
fill all the space and their heads to tow
er to the house top. But the thing must
be gone through with now. and Brenda
gathered all her force.

said. please let me go ill.,"

OF the men.

Brenda was framing other questions
in her mind. but this one uttered itself.
The policemen exchanged a glance.
Then one of them replied with single
word, NO" At this moment there was
a stir in the hall. Hearing it. the po-
licemen began slowly to descend the
steps. Brenda retreated before them
and not Il word was spoken. She was
pressed into the edge of the crowd at
the foot of the stone stairs. and she re-
manned there while litter was brought
out on which lay something perfectly
still and covered from end to end with
a white cloth. 1t was put into a great
black vehicle. A brisk young man,
wearing Il blue cap, and Il grave elderly
man with Il long white beard climbed
in after it, and then the somber equi-
page moved away by the power resi-
dent within it. And to Brenda the ia

The policeman began to ascend the
steps. but he paused at sight of two
men who appeared above. One Of
them was of medium stature and very
heavy. having the build of an ape. with

aimlessly when he moved, as If they

A PRETTY WEDDING
Miss Anna B. Hudson and Mr..
Irwin r. Stockton Married at
High Noon Yesterday

The society event of the past week
was the marriage of Miss Anna b. Hud
son and Mr. Irwin X. Stockton, which
occurred at the home of the bride, 2lo
Min street, at high noon yesterday,
Rev J. p Lucas, chaplain of the PEN
it-ntiary. officiating The wedding
was not by any means an elaborate
one, either in its arrangements or in
the number of guests invited to wit
ness it, but there was a quiet beauty
in its simplicity which had charm
peculiarly its own.
The bride was married in travelling
dress and the groom in business suit,
the ceremony being without attend
ance. There were less than score of
guests present, the list being made up
from among the relatives and the i'm
med ate friends of the contracting
couple.
At the conclusion of the wedding
service Mr.. and Mrs. Stockton were
the recipients of the congratulations Of
the assembled company, after which a
luncheon was served. At l O'Clock
Mr.. and Mrs. Stockton entered a clos
ed carriage and were driven to the d
& r. G. railroad station where they
boarded the west bound train for Salt
Lake where they will devote their
honeymoon to Sightseeing in the Nor
mon capital. They were accompanied
to the railroad station by those who
had been guests at the wedding, and
they boarded the train amid a shower
of rice and other emblems of good luck.
The bride is the daughter Of Mrs.
Laura G. Hudson and is assisting clerk
at the penitentiary. having come here
from Denver to accept that position at
the time new administration was in
augurated at that institution by Gov.
Peabody last April She is an exceed
ingly bright, vivacious young lady and
by her amisbility and accomplishments
has made many friends during her res
idecce IN this city.
The groom is one of Canon City S
best known and most popular young
men, having been for several years
connected with the Geo w. Bethel
Clothing Company. At the conclusion
of their visit to Salt Lake City Mr.. and
Mrs. Stockton will make their home in
this city. The RECORD joins the friends
of the happy couple in extending felic-
itations.

The Revival OF
An Old Favorite.

A splendid revival of East Lynne
will b. given by Inez Formon and a
capable company at the Opera House
next Friday night Oct. 30. This play
has Of late years been allowed to apse
into the p' operty OF cheap-priced and
cheap talented companies to such an
extent that its dramatic worth and
posi- ilities have been well nigh for
gotten. As presented by Miss Formnn
John Dillon and their company il
secured new life and promises to be
extremely popular.
The present revival finds the old
play remodeled in order to iniuse a
greater amount of comedy, but after
the first Two act the tragedy OF 1t all
cumulative and fat"lIstic, comes in and
changes the tenor Of the piece. The
role of Lady Isabella, starting as the
winsom- home-comi z bride, demands
and C ianges To the Jealous, mad and
sin sorr.,wing wife. 1t is hard gaunt,
but Miss Forman runs il we'll. She is
gracious y sweel IN the first act, but
ri-es well will the tides OF passion.
John Dillon infuses the comedy, and
despite his many years, is still n great
favorite. The supporting company il
good and clever production in its
entirety will be given.
