.SWEDES DYING

Bark Mixed With Moss.

TYPHOID FEVER ADDS TO THE
PREVAILING DISTRESS.
RELIEF MUST COME SPEEDILY

London, Jan. 15.-Telegrams from
Stockholm confirm the distressing ae-
counts Of famine in northern Sweden,
as given in these dispatches. About
90. 900 people are affected by this fam
inc. which extends from the sixty-flrst
to the sixty-seventh degree north iatt-
tude and from the Gulf of BOthnia and
the Russian border far into the interior
The starving people are eating pine
bark, which is died, ground to powder
mixed with stewed Iceland moss and
made into kind of famine bread.
Coincident with the failure of the
crops is the extreme scarcity Of hsh-

petitions empty handed. Even ptar-

population from defamation. Thus Tar
about 100000 has been subscribed, OF
which sum over s12.5 500 was sent by

necessary to save the breed OF cattle

COLD SNAP is

since it struck the city the thermometer

Weather Director Murdoch does not

the opinion, however. that the area Of
high pressure is holding back a storm

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.


Common sense would suggest that if
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
it can only result from the food we
eat and digest and that food should be
albuminous or fesh-forming food, like
eggs. beefsteak and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that make
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills OF
fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach. from abuse and Overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
it. which is the reason so many PEG
pie remain thin and under weight; the
digestive organs do not completely di-
gest the ffesh-forming beefsteak and
eggs and similar Wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or
Inconvenience from their stomachs-
If such persons would lay their preju-
dices aside and make a regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal one
or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
the food would ne quickly and thor
oughly digestsS, because these tablets
contain the natural peptones and dias-
tase which every weak stomach lacks,
and by supplying this want the stOm-
ach is soon enabled TO regain its natu-
raj tone and vigor-

every form of f1esh-forning food-meat

MEN FEEL RELIEVED.
Are Pleased With Edson's Assurance
That No Changes Will Be Made.

Henry .Sehlacks of Denver was in the
city yesterday. He was superintend-
ent of machinery on the Denver & Rio
Grande when Herbert took the reins
of government. and was among the
first TO be removed from the office. He
was in the same class with SuDerin-
tendent 3. NJ Ridgeway, Master Me-
clanic John Kelker, Arthur Z. Welby
and other old and trained employees OF
the road who felt the force of the Her
bert axe.
The announcement made by Superin-
tendent Edison to the effect that there
would be no changes is a relief to the
men who have been working in state
OF uncertainty. The positive tone of
Manager .Edson's assurance that he
contemplates no changes has encour-
aged the men to give their entire at
tentiOn to their work, something they
could not do before.

ARTISAN WATER
FOR IRRIGATION
Experiments to Be Made This
Year by State Land Board.
TEST IN MlLLARD COUNTY
SECRETARY GRoo FILES REPORT
WITH GOVERNOR WELLS.

The annual report of the state board
of land commissioners, which was fled
yesterday with Governor H. NJ. Wells
by Secretary Byron Groo. consisted Of
203 pages, almost twice as large as the
largest annual or biennial report yet
transmitted to the executive.
During the ensuing year it is the pur-
pose of the board TO drill an expert
mental artesian will near Holden, Mill
ard county, in hope that the expert
ment will show a sufficient quantity of
water to irrigate lands in the imme-
date vicinity. DR.. j. E. Talmage, pro-
fessor of geology in the University of
Utah, expresses the opinion to the
board that water in abundance ought
to be found in that locality.
During 1902 over $50 state patents TO
lands were issued by the board. IN
eight counties lands were offered for
sale at auction, as follows: Rich, A.
72L64 acres; Carbon. 32,51S.7S; Sanpete,
S,217.15; Grand %, 72377; Morgan, 3D.
774.7O; Juab, Sc, 474.S3; Piute, 36,261. A.
Salt Lake, 1S,05272-
The acreage included practically all
of the surveyed lands belonging to the
state in the counties named.
There has occurred a notable falling
off in the selections of lands by the
state, due almost entirely to the with
drawal by the secretary of the interior
of virtually the entire Wasatch range
of mountains, with the view to the
/ creation Of forest reserves. The with
drawals extend almost without breaks
! from the Idaho line to Arizona, and
embrace the more valuable of the unap-
/ propriated range lands within the state
Numerous applications by citizens to
purchase lands within the contemplated
reserves have been rejected, for the
reason that the government will not
! permit the state to select lands in the
| districts pending the determination OF
the propriety of creating permanent
| reserves.
Something over rs per cent of all the
| lands granted to the state by congress:
have been selected and have been ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
or are in process of approval. Thes'
selections of course. do not include tn,
! lieu selections of school lands, which
| will aggregate not less than 10000
acres.
OF the lands granted to the state 70
school purposes, consisting of section
,. 16, 80 and &C. in each township, 2.
O92, 225.55 acres had been surveyed VI

Heavy Seas Too Much For steerage
Passenger.

New York, Jan. 15.-The Spanish
steamer Montevideo arrived today from
Cadiz after what, her commander said
was the worst voyage he ever made.
Merli Francesca, a native of Italy,
one of 1870 steerage passengers, died OF
heart disease, superinduced by terror,
on the 18th day out.
Heavy seas boarded the vessel,
smashing a deekhouse, a section OF the
starboard rail and lifting, the starboard
lifeboats out of their checks The
water rushed through every possible
opening to below decks and soon every
thing above and below was a mass OF
ice. The steerage passengers were ter
ror-stricken. They spent most of the
time on their knees before rudely con-
structed shrines, which they placed il
every corner of the steerage.
