Cold Weather.

Yesterday morning the thermome-
ter registered Is degrees below zero.
This is the coolest recorded in this
valley since the big winter of 1890,
when the mercury reached a few de-
grees lower. The weather in other
portions of the State is correspond
ingly cold. and the Silver State states
that the thermometer is lowering
near the 80 below mark. A report
from Elko is looked for. as that point
is generally in the lead when it comes
to cold weather. About he only ad-
vantage that can come is the fact
that the snow in the mountains is
nearly like ice than anything else,
and it is bound to withstand the eff.
fects of the sun when the good old
summer time" comes round.
Sleighing has been and is excel
lent; never better in fact. and every
body who can hitch onto a pair OF
runners is enjoying sleigh rides. Last
evening the mercury was not quite as
low, which leads the people to be
lieve that the cold snap is broken.

ASSEMBLY. AFTERNOON.

In the afternoon the special orler,
the Constitutional Amendment that
Governor Sadler vetoed, came up The
amendment provides for the taxing of
patented mines and mortgages. The
same old fight came up. Skaggs de-
Tended the measure and declared that
the Governor had no right to veto un-
der his executive right, which was
not disputed. Other members took
the other side of the question regard
ing the virtues Of the bill and it
seemed to be the general opinion am
ong those opposing that had the am
endment provided for the tax on
mines solely, that it would pass with
out a dissenting voice. After sever
al hours of talk the bill went over fol
a special order and will be thrashed
out again before a vote is taken.

yesterday afternoon by Representa-

Morgan county. The bill is simple
in wording, but drastic in its effects
The measure, which has gone on the
docket as house bill No. 66, reads
as follows:
BE it enacted by the Legislature
of the State of Utah:
mo evidence shall be allowed IL
court to recover for property that is
not assessed for general taxes under
the laws of this State
This act shall take effect on the
first Monday in May, 1903"
The effect of this will be that an.
man who sells a piece of property
not assessed cannot sue to recover
the value Of the property If he sell.

Two Kinds of Law.

There was a case in the police court
yesterday where a young man was
charged with the theft of some boots
but the parties settled. the accused
paving the accuser so cents. You
had no right to take mo2ey to settle
a case of theft" said the police magis-
trate.
AS a statement Of law, this may be
all right, but how does the principle
work as applied TO larger people than
the 5O-cent disputants in yesterdays
court? When a bank clerk steals
thousands Of dollars, does the law
saw that the bank has no right to take
money to settle the case Of theft?
Whatever the written law may be,
the practice is to let big operators IN
theft settle with the big institutions
they have wronged. The principle is
in practice-accepted that the big IN
stitution shall be considered and en-
abled to recover, II it can, what mas
been stolen from it.

inherited from his mother, both at
buckingham Palace and at Windsor
Castle. The late queen had the greav
Drepouderance Of her plate at Wind

Buckingham Palace will probably be
the more plentifully supplied. No
valuation has had to be made for pro-
bate duty, for the king does not pay
the kings taxes, any more than the
sneaker OF the third estate speaks.
Not long ago, however. an inventory
was made at Windsor Castle, with the
iresult that the plate, most of it sill
iyer, some Of it gold, and a portion
of It, such as metal peacock and other
ornaments, set with gems, was apprais.
