On divesting him of his clothes the au- thorities found a combination garment on which were ingenlously sewed 174 watches which he was smuggling from abroad.

Opportunity

Passes every door and knocks once. It did not forget those who took advantage of the grand opening last Wednesday. We displayed what we could furnish in flowers and also how artistically we could decorate the home, church or oth CT building. We also demonstrated to every visitor that we understood the flower business, and that we were capable of caring for any sizer order that came to lis.
 So emphatic was the apprecia- tion of this changed condition that on Monday we were overwhelmed with orders, and were compelled to let these disappointed patrons go elsewhere for what they were so anxious to get of us.
 So much talked of has been this very unusual event in Birmingham that we have booked orders tor five weddings, house and church decorations and wedding flowers
 As time passes we will take the public into our confidence and tell some things.

BUTTONS RESIGNATION.

John w Burton. convict, has finally
recognized the inevitable and resigned
his seat in the United States senate to
escape expulsion at the hands of his
former associates. After his exhibition
of contemptuous indifference to public
opinion, the country VIII regret that he
escaped the final indignity Of dishonor-
able election which he so richly de-
served.
Burton's election to the senate was an
insult to the country in the first place.
He had long been known as a lobbyist
who used his legal profession as 4
cloak for corruption. When he was a
member Of the committee on awards
Of the national commission at the Chi
cagO fair, il was commonly known that
his influence on the committee was for
sale at a price. Nothing but the lack Of
precise evidence prevented him from
being exposed at the time by the Chi
cago newspapers. So notorious was his
venality that exhibitors quoted his price
to one another and he was known to
have spoken openly Of his intention to
make his position profitable.
BurtOn's final downfall came when he
accepted what was nOminaiIy a legal re-
tainer but which was in reality a bride
to protect a fraudulent concern by his
official influence with the postofice de-
partment. Like most men of criminal
instincts, he grew careless with long
immunity and was entrapped, tried,
convicted. given a new trial ard finally
convicted again after a most desperate
effort TO escape punishment by techni-
cal means.
The senate is to be congratulated on
| BUrtOn's departure; the country is to
be feIicitated on his conviction and the
prospect of his Imprisonment. He de-
/ serves no pity because he was a man of
great opportunities and splendid abili-
I ties which he degraded His example
is of value only as it demonstrates
anew the ultimate folly Of dishonesty,
I the permanence of high standards in
American public life and the inevitable
punishment of the man who betrays the
I people who have honored and trusted
him.

ADJUSTMENTS TODAY.
THE NEW LIMITED TRAIN.

The beginning of a new limited train
service on the Rio Grande system
marks another Of the many forward
steps Salt Lake has taken recently. 1t
adds materially to the train accommo-
dations between the two capitals, fact
litates travel and makes it possible to
see the great scenery in both states by
daylight and under conditions Of lux
Ury and comfort
Heretofore travel during the summer
season over the mountain line has been
so heavy that il has been difficult %
make the trip without discomfort at
times in spite of the best efforts Of the
railroad people. Now the sightseer or
business man is able to leave either ter
mInaI with the certainty that he will
have the best accommodations in the
country all the way, will not be crowd
ed or delayed and will be assured of
arrival exactly on schedule time.
The new service ought TO benefit Salt
Lake because Of the inducements it Of
fers for tourists who ordinarily come
TO further west than Colorado to pro-
long their trip to Salt Lake. In reality
it cuts down the time between Denver
and salt Lake. not only in actual min
utes but in the shortening of any trip
through the provision of comforts
which make travel d pleasure instead

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
