but the latter have a great many more
cruisers and torpedo boats than the
Russians. The japanese also have the
advantage of better guns, They can
reach the enemy from a comparatively
safe distance, and with their fast ships
they can go all around the Russians

Naval experts are inclined to the view
that Admiral Togo viii not risk his
fleet In one engagement. but that he
win endeayor to scatter the Russian
squadron, and by night attacks and
surprises destroy the ships one by one,
until the squadron Is rendered so weak,
that q general attack can be made
without risk 60 his own vessels It win
take time TO accomplish the task by
such tactics, but it is considered the
safest way. The reports from various

FEARING THE EPIDEMIC.

II Is claimed that fear Is entertain

meningitis, or spotted fever as it also
Is called. which now is carrying Of so
many victims I'm the east, will work
It's way, along the lines Of travel, to
the middle aud western states, The
danger should be an incentive to mu-
ulcipal authorities, as well as to private
owners OF real estate, to thoroughly
clean up all untldy places What
cleanliness Will do In the service OF
hygiene, was demonstrated In Havana,
where yellow fever was stamped out
by the sanitary measures applied, as
soon as the Americans obtained con-
troll. And Il Is question whether
In the face Of threatening epidemic,
the matter Of scrubbng and cleaning
can be safely left entirely to the dis
cietion OF property owners. Tho dis
ease mentioned seems to be very much
of q mystery, and measures Of pre-
ycution are therefore all the more
necessary, since neither the cause nor
any remedy seems 10 be known
When such precautions are taken, the
toe can be met with courage and tran-
guilty, and that is, In itself, a great
preventive Of all kinds Of diseases
Worry and fear are as deadly az the
microbes themselves, because they
weaken the natural defenses OF the
system. The old oriental legend Ia well

A JUST VERDICT


The numerous friends of r. s. COL
lett. Of Vernal, Uintah County, VIII re-
ioIce over his acqulttal on the charge OF
cmbezzling postal funds, preferred
against him by an Inspector No one
acquainted with him believes for mo-
ment that he was guilty Of anything
but what might de deemed a technical
ofrensc. His solid business reputation
his well established character and the
confidence reposed In him by many
thousands OF the best people OF this
state stood like a solid wall against the
bare suspicion Of crookcdness which
for short time cast a shadow over ms
otherwise untarnished career.
The facts are that when the inspec-
tor came to the office where Mr. COL
lett was postmaster and found that the
funds which he should have ON hand
we're not Immediately producibe the
conclusion was Jumped at that he was
defautcr, and proceedings were tax"
en- at once against him. II was In VAIN
that he explained that 1t was aiter
banking hours when the examination
took place. and that in the morning
as soon as the bank was opened he
would produce the cash balance be-
longing to the government; the matter
VAS pushed to the extreme and he was
not only ousted from his position, but
indicted for felony
We have nothing to say about the
action Of the government Inspector nut
must express the doubt that we ret
at the first, that the accused was guilty,
either by act or intent OF appropriatlng
to his own use funds intrusted TO ms
official care and which were not ms
own Excess OF zeal on the part or
the official who pushed the case against
him, is the midest term that Is APP
plicable in this matter. The verdict
Of the fury consequent upon the sum
| ming up by the court, is a full yindica-
ton of the character Of Mr. Collett, and
he comes out Of the cloud that for a
time EMBODIED him. with the confidence
Of his fellow citizens who are acquaint-
ed with his sterling worth.
1t Is but fitting however, to say that
all persons entrusted with public or prl'
waite funds should be extremely careful
not TO place themselves in position
which would Justify the slightest doubt
as to their honesty or business methods
Every officer Of the city state or nation
should be ready at any moment TO pro-
duce or account for every cent placed
in his custody No one can be too cane
ful In this respect and every public
functionary should hold himself pre-
pared, at a moments notice, to sub
nit all his official acts to the closest
scrutiny We congratulate our friend
ON his honorable discharge from the
Federal Court and the clearing away
of the momentary cloud cast upon his
! character.

for discussing the political disease, which
is more menaciug than any possible

assembled physicians agreed that Rus

reason Of the extreme poverty of the

Every mother possesses information

daughter.
Too often this Is never impaired or Is
withheld until serious harm has result

ignorance of natures mysterious and

Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty

physicians, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When girls thoughts become slug
