The second annual banquet Of the
members of the Bishop Warren class
of the First Methodist church was held
in the church parlors Tuesday evening
and was in all respects the most not
able social and gastronomic event in
the history of the organization.
The banquet was served under the
direction of the Ladies' Aid society,
and was highly creditable to the skill
OF the members in the culinary art
and ELECTED deserved praise and COM
mendation from those who sampled
the excellence OF their cookery. The
dining room was elaborately decor
ated a la Japanese and its beauty was
the subject of many complimentary
remarks. To carry the illusion as far
as possible much OF the tableware was
Oriental in design and manufacture.
The reception committee was COM
posed of Messrs. Frank York. George
Boyle, and by the heartinees and cor
diality Of its welcome the guests were
made to feel the genuineness OF the
hospitality OF which they were to be
the beneficiaries.
In addition to the class membership
there were present the teachers OF
the various classes Of young men In
the different Sunday schools OF the
city, making in the aggregate large
company. Four tables were spread
for the banQuetters, each containing
covers for twenty guests. but only
sixty-eight sat down to enjoy the
feast of reason and dow Of soul"
The menu consisted OF Consomme
in cups, roast turkey with dressing.

City Attorney Taylor says that some
o. the drug stores are violating the
liquor ordinance and they must cease
or be prosecuted.
1t has been the habit it seems for
some of the druggists to sell without
prescription to the patient il he ap-
peared to need a stimulant, and in
other cases some men have prescrip-
tions which they have filled regularly.
Both are clearly against the law and
violations will be prosecuted.
If you need liquor you must have
a physicians prescription. The physi-
clan must examine you and must not
prescribe liquor unless your condition
demands it. So no one will suffer for
lack of it if the occasion demands it
So far as this reporter knows there
is no provision made whatever for that
Thanksgiving mince pie.
Mr.. Taylor's Statement
1t has come to my knowledge sew
eral times recently that some of the
drug stores of our city are violating
the liquor ordinance in different ways
and especially that part of section
three which is as follows:
Section 3.-"The City Council of
said city may, on application in wri-
ting, stating street and number of
place of business, grant license to
any regular druggist, who they believe
is honestly engaged in the drug busi-
ness, to sell said liquors for medicinal
purposes, but no sale for such pur-
pose, shall be made except on pre-
scription of a duly licensed and prac-
ticing physician and signed by such
physician. and said physician shall
state in said prescription that he has
examined the party to whom the pres
cription was issued and that the
liquor SO prescribed is necessary in
the treatment OF said person, and said
prescription only being good for the
quantity specified therein. and for one
purchase only"
Especially have l been informed that
certain of our druggists are making
it = practice of filling the same pre-
F6cfiptidn for Intoxicating liquors as
many times as they are presented and
whether the prescription contains the
required certificate from the physi-
clan as set forth in the foregoing or
dinance.

The plant of the d. United States
Smelling & Reduction company in
South Canon will close down today
for the purpose Of cleaning up the
fIues, bag rooms and making some
needed repairs to the buildings and
machinery.
1t has been the custom Of the COM
pany to suspend operations for
short time at intervals Of two or
three years and the present close
down is in conformity with that policy
II was not the intention OF the man
agement, however. to inaugurate the
cleaning up process until after the
first OF January, but the recent fall
ing oil in the demand for white lead
which is the principal product OF the
plant, affords the company an oppor-
tunity to do so now at minimum OF
loss and they are taking advantage

sites OF life. While the company has

would be arrested If any ordinance
could be found authorizing such a pro-
cedure. They were very indignant
over the refusal of Mr.. Seely to allow
them to preach on the public streets
and called down the maledictions of
heaven upon him.
They made a pretty thorough can
vass of the city. going from house to
house endeavoring to sell books and
trying by every means in their power
to make proselytes for the church of
Brigham Young. Complaints were
made 70 the authorities in relation to
their actions and warrants were then
sworn out for their arrest on the
ground that they were violating the
city ordinances by selling books with
out = n license. Although Marshal
Houston made a diligent search for
them MDnday night he was unable to
find thom, they having skipped the
town ~ avoid arrest They said they
had couls up the Arkansas valley from
the stale line, but had nowhere been
as harshly treated as they were here.

subject It is intimated that the plant
will be reopened for business by the
first of the year, or very soon there
after. 1t is believed that something
like six weeks will be required to give
the machinery the overhauling 1t
needs, and, by that time, it is expected
the market for paint will have become
normal.
The plant of the United States
Smelling & Reduction company here
is the only one Of the kind in the
west devoted to the manufacture OF
white lead. or paint pigment. and is
not shut down for the purpose OF
transferring the business to some 9TH
er point. Its suspension of operations
is. as has already been stated, for the
purpose of allowing a thorough clean
ing up Of the premises in accordance
with the rules OF the company. The
productio, OF white lead is too neces-
sary stos.rtti.t1ation to permit the
plant here TO remain closed very foHg

City Attorney Taylor, commenting
on the effectiveness Of ordinances,
cited an old one on the books which
provides tha horses can be driven in
side tho city limits at only a "moder-
ate" rate Of speed. 1t was the CON
sensus of opinion that the speed would
depend largely on the talent OF the
horse. Mr.. Linkins objected to the
bicycle ordinance which provides that
both hands must be kept on the
handle bars" This, he thinks. is a
knock on trick riding.
