It Will Do the Work Just as Well,
Says Physician.

The saying that if a stone sticks the
wound IS poisonous and II it does not
take hold there is no venom present is
untrue. IT the stone is clean and dry 1t
will adhere when moisture is within
reach until it becomes saturated
For instance. new red brick will alb
sorb one pint of water. After the venom
has been taken into the circulation the
maidstone Is worthless, but as the victim
is usually filled with whisky OF alcohol
at the same time the stone is being used
the spirits may counterfeit the effect OF
the poison
Il know of stone which has A wide
reputation and makes good living for
the family owning it, They never let il
go out of their sight and. when the vic
tim cannot be taken to the stone. one
member of the family can be hired To
take the stone to the victim In addition
to travelling expenses they charge 8 for
the application and 81 extra for each
hour that the stone sticks.
This stone Is busy large part of the
time. Not long since, the stone held to
a mans leg for over 1876 hours. yet the
man died. His life could have been saved

PARRIcADE STATE STREET.

Before the close of the Morris admin
istration a contract was let for the
paving of State street. Friday evening
a Murray car on this same street was
stalled by mud. Every day of the week
teams stick i'm the mud or are COM
PEELED TO abandon their loads because
this main thoroughfare to and from the
south is impossible. Every day the
residents of that street south of Fourth
South are confronted with teams driv-
ing on the. sidewalks because that is
the only way a load of any kind can
reach the residences at all.
OF course the primary responsibility
for this condition OF affairs rests with
the city authorities. They have not
only neglected the street. but they have
permitted the contractors who exca-
waited for pipes to put the street in such
eating it would be by airship or a mud
scow amply provided with power stills
would not be long enough to keep a
pedestrian out of the sinkholes. sleigh
with runners might slide along on the
surface IL the team did not sink out of
sight; wagons are out of the question.
and now it has been shown that a
street car on its own tracks is likely TO
get stuck.
Without any hope of stirring into ac-
tivity either the city authorities or the
contractor who has the paving job, but
simply as a suggestion. The Herald be-
iieves Mayor Thompson and his street
supervisor ought 10 barricade State
street for the protection of the public.
Contractor Moran has some beautiful
board barricades already built which
read. Street Closed P. j. Moran, Con-
tractor" That legend on Instructions
would fit the case partially, and ii
would save trouble for the teamsters
and other deluded mortals who think
street must surely be navigable with
in two blocks of tie city and county
/ building. Besides such a sign would
convey an exact impression of the city
administration; ii would serve to point
a moral as well as adorn a tale of in
competence. neglect and general asinin-
ity in the street department Under

GIVE SALT LAKE A HEARING.

In spite of the failure of the Gal
weston measures in the house. the
friends of the bills still believe there
is more than a fighting chance to get
a hearing on them before the end of
the session. They are convinced that
some of the members who voted against
taking the bills from the table did so
under a MISREPRESENTATION of the sit
uation. and that these members will
aid in taking the bills up for discussion.
The parliamentary trick by which
Speaker Joseph laid the whole matter
on the table has prevented any debate,
so far, on the merits of the case; all
that the Salt Lake people ask is an
opportunity to have the facts presented
fully. and they are entitled to this
much courtesy, not only at the hands
of the house. but on the part OF the
speaker. His hostility ought never to
have been countenanced i'm the form il
of such a free and full consideration
of the Galveston plan as will show
fully it's merits and its defects, If it has
any.
An effort via be made again to give
Salt Lake a chance to be heard. and
no member with due regard for his
obligations as a representative OF the
people can have any valid objection te
a discussion of the matter, whether
he is prejudiced now for or against tht
plan proposed for a reform in Salt Lake
City's business methods.
The people of this city and their re-
representatives. are entitled to a hearing
and the house should be fair enough
and polite enough to grant it.

THE FINANCIAL FURRY.

Wall street and financial centers
generally have been much per-
turbed this past week by the decline
in value of railroad and industrial Sc
eufities and by a sentiment of unrest
and uncertainty that has had much to
do with the depression in stocks. just
how much of this is due to natural con-
ditions and how much to manufactured
bear literature may not be estimated;
the conspicuous fact is that a period of
liquidation has set in, the public mas
unloaded sound securities at low prices
and the outlook is clouded by ignorance
as to what forces are behind this de-
velopment.
So far as actual commercial business
is concerned. both Dun and Bradstreet
report marked improvement in spite
of the uncertainty in the money mar
ket. Manufacturers have orders months
ahead, money for legitimate CONNER
ciai operations is available at good
rates and the productive energy of the
country is working at full force. Higher
wage scales have been established on
most of the railroad systems and wages
everywhere are on satisfactory basis
fer the workmen. The Butte difficulties
which threatened serious disturbance of
the mining Industry are in a fair way
10 be adjusted and. excepting some
railroad conferences, the Industrial
wage situation is in good shape.
Here in the west the activity of the
mines is tremendous and the supply Of
money for development work ample.
Speculation has ebbed somewhat from
the high-water mark OF last fall, but
substantial flotations have no trouble
finding capital on good terms. The one
disturbing factor in the general sftu-
alton is the wave Of legislation hostile
TO railroads which has swept from state
70 state and created a feeling of uneasi-
ness and d.strust as to the future of
railroad investments. The larger sys-
TENS have cancelled some large orders
for equipment and construction work.
and the smaller roads find it difficult
to finance contemplated Improvements
Whether this tendency to retrench ana
stop further outlsys will grow VIII be
determined largely by the attitude Of
legislatures ard state authorities
So far as the insermountain resIen
Is concerned the outlook is decidedly
cheerful. Business is on solid footins,
there has been no imitation of boom fi-
mansions in trade operations; the
mines are producing heavily and their
product is bringing good figures; divf-
bends are increasing. realty values are
tending upward and construction is
limited only by the amount of material
and labor available.
1t ought to be the best year the M
serznouniair country has ever known.

Anew JUVENILE COURT LAW.

One of the admirable measures
passed by this legislature is the new
juvenile court law, which repeats and
takes the place of the law under which
the Salt Lake court has been operating.
Under the new arrangement the plan
of separate courts for Juvenile Offend
ers is extended to cover the VIII Die
state. The principle of treating these
cases as separate and apart from GRIM
inal matters is applied to all the Dis
tricts; the Jurisdiction of the juvenile
courts is defined and divided so as to
place the law beyond question as to its
constitutionality; and the value of the
Institution as part of the states ma
chinery for the salvation Of the boys
and girls is recognized fully.
Comparatively new as it is, the the
DRY that it is easier to save a boy or
girl than to maintain them as GRIM
inaIs has been wonderfully successful
in operation here. Cases that i'm former
ton and Imprisonment with criminals
have come to be worked out in a meth
cd that not only saves the subject 10
society as a useful member. hist is
eagerly sought by the boys themselves
as a help to better living. In marty a
thousand cases that have come before
Judge Brown of the Juvenile court in
Salt Lake. very few have proved hope
less, fewer still have required harsh
measures and the very large majority
have resulted in voluntary repentance
and atonement for wrong doae. There
can be no longer question as to the
value of the courts to the community.
Now that the new law has been
passed it is hoped the authorities hav-
ing in charge it's administration will
see to it that the right men are placed
in charge of its ADMINISTERS ton. An I'M
