JAMES IN A NEW ROLE.
County Clerk to Test the Scales Of
The Pioneer Sampler.

County Clerk James realized yester.
day for the first time, that he Is ex-
oliicio sealer Of weights and measures
for the county, A demand for his SER
Vices as such was made yesterday by
the proprietors OF the Pioneer Sampler
works at Sandy who desire to have
their scales tested officially in view Of
the fact that some complaints have
been made by their customers of their
inaccuracy.
While the law requires that the coun-
ty clerk shall keep standards OF weights
and measures which conform to the
government standards still there are
no such standards IN the custody of the
county clerk and there perhaps never
has been In the history Of the office. 1t
will be necessary therefore for Mr..
James TO borrow the weights I'm the
custody of State Auditor Tingey, who
is eN-oillcio sealer OF weights and mea-
sures for the state, and have them
hauled to Sandy to make the test of the
sampler scales.

Tha, the above story Is a fabrication
from beginning to end II evident from
the denial made by Mrs kompe herself.
In the first place, the woman states that
she never made any such statements as
those attributed to her and she denies
most =, stively ever having been invited
into pQlygamy by either Elder Hotten-
dorf Elder Huefner or any other Elder
OF the Mormon" Church. The woman
also states that she was baptized Sept.
30, 1899, and was married April 20, 1902,
therefore giving the lie to the statement
concerning baptism acting as a divorce.
She also AYERS that Elders owen and
Walz, the former of whom Is mentioned
In the above article, at all times advised
her to remain In Hamburg and not emil
CRATE to Utah. and that her husband Is
not shoemaker, but works In the har-
Dor at Hamburg This statement she
made and signed In the presence Of Ju-
LA Tadge, William s. owen and Frank

gan at the. Theater this morning. Last
season, when THE Old Homestead"
company was playing Its annual en-
gagement IN New York City, gentle
man requested an interview with Mr..
Frank Thompson, the manager Of the
company, which was cordially granted
He said he had not seen the play since
he was a boy OF i6 years, He had not
seen THE Old Homestead since he
had grown to manhood, and on the
evening in question he had brought his
wife and children to see the drama
which had given him 80 much pleasure
In his boyhood days. He requested Mr..
Thompson to thank his father, Denman
Thompson, IN behalf of himself and
family, for the pleasure the evening
had offered them. We have no doubt
this incident might be multiplied a
thousandfold. Men and women who saw
the grand old play In their youth are
now bringing their children to see 1t,

The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottleof Perunaprop-
erly used never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured
Of chronic catarrh by single bottle Of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle Is necessary to complete q
cure. Pcruna has cured cases innumer-
able Of catarrh Of twenty years. stand
ing. Its the best, II not the only inter
nal remedy for chronic catarrh In ex.
istence.
But prevention is far better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom Of cold or sore throat
at this season OF the year and thus pre-
vent what is almost certain to end In
chronic catarrh.

casion was when i'm the course Of his
campaign against ''boodlers" Mr.. and
Mrs. Folk were invited to reception
at the governors mansion in honor OF
the daughter of leading politician.
Suspicion had been recently cast upon
this politician. Nevertheless Mr.. Folk
was inclined TO think it would be prop
er as we'll as polite for him to attend
the function at the mansion OF the
governor. The advice OF his closest
friends conceded with this opinion.
But before making his decision he
went to the telephone and called up
Mrs. Folk After few minutes talk
over the wire he came out OF the booth
and remarked:
Gentlemen, l have decided 10 call
the Jefferson City trip off. Mrs. Folk
mas suggested TO me certain reasons OF
party and individual importance why

her arguments are unanswerable."
When Mr. Folk was n boy of nine
and his wife. then little Gertrude
Glass, was n year younger. they used
TO trudge to school together in Browns

from childhood. Mr.. Folk went TO Van

he was boy the Consciousness of the
dignity of the position of the car was
more deeply impressed upon him than
upon his brothers. To him the car
was higher than the father.
This is illustrated by the following
anecdote: One day when he was lieu

the troops. retired to his room. took
off his uniform and boots and lay
down on his bed to rest. AS he was

The car is said to be very superSti-

believes is imbedded a piece of the

the treasures of the Vatican and was
presented to an ancestor o. the car.
Some years ago he was travelling

AN INEFFICIENT FLEET.
Admiral Tchuchin's Report on Rus
sfa's Black Sea ships.

Admiral Tchuchin's Report on Rus
sia's Black Sea Ships.
The latest proof of decentralization
and utter inefficiency Of the Russian
navy is contained i'm a sensational report
drawn up by Admiral. Tchuchin, com.
manding the Black sea feet, with refer.
ence TO the recent naval maneuvers
held under his supervision. The re-.
port has caused a painful sensation in
official circles 1T St. Petersburg, says
the correspondent of the London Ex.
press.
The admiral's verdict pronounced on
his own fleet is crushing. He found
that Russian naval officers were entire
ly without love for their profession OF
interest in their work. Incompetence
prevailed throughout the fleet. When
maneuvering, ships were unable 10
maintain their positions. The most ap-
palling muddles occurred.
Sometimes, when the ships of the
feet were supposed to be in close for
nation. several would be found TO he
missing altogether, and cruisers had
to be detached to search for them. The
signals from the flagship Were either
not understood or purposely disobeyed.
Many officers, says the admiral. were
found TO be devoid of knowledge of the
naval regulations. Admiral Tchuchin
mentions several cases in point. The
extraordinary lack of discipline was
illustrated one night during the ma
neuvers by the remarkable behavior of
torpedo boat No. 213. The fleet was
steaming in company when the torpedo
boat suddenly turned and disappeared.
The wrathful admiral dispatched a
cruiser to look for the missing torpedo
boat, and after a long search she was
found in the harbor of Yalta. The lieu
tenant in command and his brother of
GERS as well declared simply that they
preferred spending the night in port
rather than ON the open sea.
Two other torpedo boats left the fleet
without the admirars permission and
We're also found ut Yalta. They We're
tired OF executing evolutions ut night,
and the commanders expressed sur
prise and Indignation when they
learned in a somewhat forcible man
ner that the admiral was distinctly an
noyed-

speed not TO exceed ten knots Most of

even this speed and could not be han
died with sufficient dexterity To partic-
ipate in feet drill, which proved to be
an utter fiascO.
The admiral concludes his report by
saying that If the Black sea fleet ever
has the misfortune to face the enemy
IL Will lie completely wiped out"
