bent old man. unbeiievably ragged.
So torn were his many khalats that
they did not seem like constructed
garments at all, but strings of tatters
and tags collected and hung on his fat,
weak body. His head was bent on his
breast and his eyes we're half closed.

Effect Of College Education.

1t would be interesting to trace in
detail, and after careful study of facts
to just how great degree the varsity
bred man influences us in respect oil
dress. says Mems Wear. For instance
the knee drawer, which retailers could
not get enough OF during summer, is
nothing more or less than the running
pant of track athletics, as the jersey
that Is coming to be worn with them Is
the Jersey of the gym" The turning
up of the trousers to show fancy hose
is an outcome of turned up tennis trou
sers, not for 'varsity's sake but for ex
pediency and comfort.
SO, the list of what we owe to col
lege men in matters of dress might be
heightened. The collegian is certainly
a force to be reckoned with by makers
and sellers of mems wear.

Low WAGES IN RUSSIA.
Farm Laborers Get Little Above a
Bare Subsistence.

The extreme poverty and the low
standard OF living OF peasants from

OF view. notwithstanding the general

According TO an official investigation
embracing the decade Of 1SS21S91. the
average annual wages for a male agri

than S32 and for a female worker less
than SIS To this must be added the
cost OF subsistence. which is equally
low. being on an average s24 for a

SENSATIONAL CASE
Man and Wife Arrested on Horse
Stealing Charge by Palisade
Firm.-The Matter Is
Now Settled

There was a highly interesting tria
IN Justice Bancroft's court at Pail
sade Friday. B. E. and Luella NIunse
We're arraigned on a charge of horse
stealing preferred by liveryman L.
I A. Wilson.
Regarding the case the Tribune
says:
Munse procured a horse at the liv-
cry barn ostensibly for the purpose
OF driving to Clifton Wednesday, and
after a reasonable length of time for
him to have made the trip, Mr.. Will
son became uneasy regarding his rig
and commenced to phone to differ
ent parties to learn of its location He
learned that the rig driven by Munse
was seen on Orchard Mesa loaded
with yalises. etc, that would indicate
that he was leaving the country. He
Immediately swore out a warrant for
his arrest, and the officers at this
place phoned to the Junction officers
to not let him board the noon train
that was just getting ready to pull
out for the west, but they were too
late in getting to the train to catch
their man.
The Midland was late that day and
Mr.. Wilson and Constable Sayle
boarded the same and went to the
Junction in search of the rig, which
had previously been found by John
Wilson, tied near the depot. The Of
icers at Green river were wired
description of the man and the ar
rest was made there without any
trouble, and Sheriff Hardy went down
on the next train to bring him back
He was accompanied by his family
and 16-year old Ada Brown, whom.
it was stated. that by misrepresenta-
tions he had induced to go with him
to California, because of the fact that
she was in love with young gentle
man whom the people at which she
made her home We're not pleased
with and thought maybe they could
put a stop to the courtship by sending
her to California with Munse. But
such was not the case as the young
man was at Green River as soon as
the sheriff, and when the party re-
turned to Palisade he swore out a
complaint against the parties, whom
he stated had enticed her away
The horse stealing case came up
toI trial yesterday afternoon and the
same was settled by Munse paying all
the costs in that case, and another lit
le bill that was held against him by

JUDGE JOSEPH p. SWEENEY
MEETS WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT

Saturday night Joseph p. sweeney
of the police court. met with an ex
ceedingly painful accident that might
easily have proven very serious in
deed.
Judge Sweeney was at work on some
books in the county treasurer's Of
fee. He had a celluloid eye shade
tied on his head. About Midnight
the judge struck match and lighted
a cigar and quick as a flash the eye
shade became a veritable sheet of
flame. The judge succeeded in pull
ing the burning shade from his head
but not until he had been badly burn
ed about the face and forehead. His
hair was badly singed. As a result
of catching the burning shade with
his hand several of his fingers were
also painfully burned.
The Judge did not suffer much pain
as he had some soothig salve at his
office which he spread over the burns.
Later he had the injuries dressed by 4
physician. He is able to be around
with his head all bandaged.
1t was indeed narrow escape for
the judge. He says he Will use no
more celluloid eye shades.

ing. The verdict follows: I'VE. the
jury sworn to try the issue in the
abbove entitled case, do upon our
oaths find the defendant not guilty.
We have carefully considered the
evidence and in arriving at out YER
dict have given the defendant the
benefit of all reasonable doubt and
also taken into consideration the pun
ishment he has suffered up to the
present time. We are not, however,
willing that the defendant should be
discharged from the court carrying
the impression that he is guiltless of
crime against the law. but he is not
guilty as charged in this Indictment" "

Prominent Young People Were Unit

tcrday nfternoon-Iwo
Pretty Brides.

There were performed in this city
yesterday afternoon within half
hour, by two different ministers and
at two different places, two marriag-

of the Fruitvale section figured as the
principals.
At the hour of 4:3O o'clock Milton
p Smith and Miss Julia Florence Sim
mons, accompanied by Charles NJ. ia
quette and Miss Aura Louise Smith
and a large number of friends went
to St Matthews church, and the first
named couple were united in mar
riage by the rector, Rev C. w. G.
Lyon. Mr.. Jaquette and Miss Smith.
who is a sister of the groom. stood
up with the happy couple. 1t was a
very pretty church wedding.
Immediately after the ceremony
at the church the wedding party
drove to the home of Rev. ]. NJ. p.
Martin on North Seventh street and
there another wedding took place. Mr.
Charles NJ. Jaquette and Miss Aura
Louise Smith, the best man and the
bridesmaid at the first wedding. were
made man and wife. The second mar
riage was solemnized just at five o.
clock.
Then the two young gentlemen and
Il eli brides and the party of young
friends joyously left for their homes
in FIuitvale.
Milton p Smith. the groom in the
first marriage and Miss Aura L. Smith
the bride of Mr.. Jaquette are
son and daughter of II. d. Smith one
of the best known ranchmen of Fruit
