Didn't Mean to Fight.

A man who is travelling for the Al
kahest Lyceum was at the Buford last
night and was in a confidential mood. /.
It seems that he has been recently
travelling in South Carolina. and his
experiences in two towns Of that State
constituted the theme Of his conver.
sation last night.
Z AT Fairfax, he said, he was spec-
saior OF u remarkable 1ght. a boy
had come along the street driving Q
William goat. A loafer thought the
opportunity for devilment too inviting
to neglect, aud so he laid scantling
along the track Of the goat cart, and
when the wheels had mounted the
scsntling this loafer tilted one end OF
same, and in this manner capsized the
young driver.
The boy, Of course, was angry. he
gathered rock or two and proceeded
to hurl them at the loafer's head.
Thus provoked, the loafer, while
lodging, let fly o few words derogato.

was within hearing. Ind he wasted no
time in taking up his promising SON. 3

$ist to the loafer's front teeth.
The loafer was q man Of courage
and blood relations in the ,own. He
struck back, and pretty soon some Of
his kinsmen had come up to his aid.
The proportions Of che fight were be-
ing augmented from all sides, until Il
came to be mass of suaying hcnsn-

pEsTILENT REPORTS,

II is stated that many tourists who
visit this city are scared away and do
not prolong thcir stay because Of re-
ports that the drinking water here Is
impure and contains the germs Of ty'
phoid ana other diseases. Il Is report
ed that this story Is circulated from
train to train untl travellers are
frightened and while here call for fit
cred or distilled waters, TO say nothing
Of stronger beverages, and that they
therefore do not stay here any longer
than Is necessary to take a brief glance
az the city Of the Mormons,'
OF course there IL no foundation In
truth to the watery tale. Analyses re-
peatedly made BY competent persons
including city Chemist Harms have
demonstrated the purity OF the streams
from which our supplies are drawn, and
while typhoid fever has claimed some
victims nj times as In other parts
though not TO the same extent, there II
no reliable evidence that the cause lay
IN the water used In our families.
We do not believe that the story has
had the effect claimed TO anything like
the alarm reported, The stay Of the
average tourist is short because Of the
time limit Of his transportation ticket
and the number Of places embraced In
his tour Hut there may be something
IN the rumored scare, or rather It's al
legged effects upon the travelling mind.
However there are tales that are told
which have a far worse impression than
does the story about the waters And
they are as destitute Of real foundation
as any falsehood that ever emanated
from the lower regions although they
mainly proceed from the pulpit and
the press.
The reports that are spread abroad
about the beliefs the practices and the
conditions Of the Mormon people, are

Food Value of Carrots

Answering an inquiry as to the
food value of carrots for mich cows,
DR.. Smead, one of the leading veter-
mary authorities of the United
States, says in the Tribune-Farmer:
Carrots are one of the very best
of roots to feed either horses, cattle
or sheep! They are the root for the
horse, without question, as they are
better relished. They are also good
for the COW. They have a nutritive
ratio of one to a little over ten, which
makes them little too fattening for
milk production. The rutabaga has
a ratio of one to eight. The mangel
wurtzel one to five Thus you see, the
rutabaga and mangels are both bet
ter than the carrot. But the ruta-
baga must be fed with care to avoid
tainting the milk. The carrot gives
a fine color and fine nutty flavor to
the butter. Again, in raising these
roots, fully twice as many pounds of
either the mangels or rutabagas can
be raised on an acre as of the car
rots. Besides, they do not require
care in starting them. The tops are
larger and can be worked more by
the horse hoe"
