WIDESPREAD RAIN
AIDS THE CROPS
Downpour PIeases Farmers,
but Causes Trouble in
City Streets.
CITY CREEK STILL FALLING
SITUATION ON NORTH TEMPLE
STREET NOW IN HAND.

The gentle rain from heaven fell upon
this place beneath in great profusion.
Excessive moisture brought slight dis
eomfiture TO the city jewellers, but the
farmers are Jubilant, the warm rain Civ
ing new life to the backward crops and
ging prosperity TO the tiller of the
soil.
The downpour was general throughout
the state, ali weather bureau stations
save St George reporting an abundance
of moisture. In Salt bake the rain
caused some alarm lest the swollen
streams and drainage canals leave their
banks and flood portions of the residence
district. The rainfall, however, though
steady, was spread out over consider
able period, so that the greater part of
the moisture was taken up by the ground
and there was no appreciate rise in the
water of, the streams.
The city streets are severely affected
and in some sections they are practically
impossible. A large crew of men in
the Waterworks and street departments
were busy all day yesterday endeavoring
TO forestall any damage likely to re-
suit.
City Creek Falling.
The water in City creek ditch on North
Temple street is slowly falling. The cold
weather checked the thaw in the noun
tains and thus relieved the pressure on
City creek.
Jake Raleigh, in anticipation of a rise
uue 10 litc IdlDSs 0du a large force or
men at work on the bikes during she
early hours Friday morning. The water
commenced to fall at about l o'clock FRI
day morning. At 10 o'clock last night il
had fallen six inches. The bikes are
now three feet above the surface of the
water.
The force of men was called off from
duty at noon Friday, only sufficient men
10 watch the works being kept on hand.
]. O. Redman, night foreman, has eight
men stationed along the ditch from Sixth
West to Ninth West.
! Should there come warm weather i'm
mediately after the present rains, the
water in the ditch will rise at d rapid
rate, In which event trouble is feared
at the north entrance of the flume which
carries the creek under the tracks of
The Oregon Short Line on North Temple
street The water is now almost to the
top of the flume and in order TO keep
ii from spreading from its course at this
point Raleigh's men have placed sand
bags and rock for a distance of half
a block along both sides of the creek
I'VE don't expect any more trouble be
tween Sixth and Ninth West streets"
said J. o Redman last night '"The bikes
are now in such condition as TO with
stand any pressure that might be brought
against them by rising water. But should
there be another sudden thaw on top of
this one, the water is liable to break
over the fluIne and flood the Oregon
Short Line tracks"
It is believed that North Temple street
will not be opened up again before June
18th.

FIVE GRADUATED FROM
MHTRIZNON10 SCHOOL
AFTER HARD COURSE
Divorce Diplomas Presented by Judge Morse at Conclusion of
Brief but Interesting Commencement Exercises.

Nels A. Anderson will repo5e four days
in the county jail for failing to obey the
order of Judge Morse to pay his divorced
wife s25 alimony. The order was made
week ago and yesterday Anderson was
brought in on a contempt charge.
Il amt got no money" he told Willard
for the wife. The latter is a county
charge as result of Anderson's failure to
support her.
Asked what he had done with the money
he has been earning in the Bingham
mines. he replied that he didn't know. At
ter some more questioning along similar
lines Judge Morse decided that Nels had
dallied with the courts order long enough
and sent him to pail when you get
cut" said Judge Morse, 81 hope you will
decide to support your former wife"
Perhaps the most interesting figure in
the divorce matinee was Maud A. Sermon,
who asked for a divorce from J. A. Ser
mon on the grounds of cruelty and nom
support. Maud is plump woman, with a
fair. rotund face and perfect complexion.
She was attired, in trim brown skirt and
white waist and a large boa hung from
her shoulders. On her head was a Won
derful creation. having three long spiral
feathers on one side which oSCillated in
fantastic style as she recounted the tale
of her husbands misdeeds. The body of
the hat. it might be said in passing. was
brown with chiffon trimmings to match.
The Limit of Insult.
One of the most serious charges which
she made against her husband was an
incident which occurred en- Dec. "A. 1908.
On that occasion Maud said ne slapped
her mouth. struck her. choKed her. told
her to go back to her home. and. heaping
insult on injury. smeared her face with
chicken vitals.
He struck me so often that I can't re-
member all the dates, she explained
when asked to give further details of the
husbands cruelty.
1t also appeared from her evidence that
the husband has never provided for her in
suitable manner For considerable
period she lived with his mother. then she
went to live with her own mother before
her child was born and afterward went
back to his mobher again. Finally she
gave up trying to be happy with him and
went back to her own home. During a
long period she supported herself by nurs-
ing and doing homework. Her mother
Eliza Trottier also testified and al the
conclusion OF the hearing Judge Morse
granted the divorce.
The couple were married Aug L. 1905.
and the husband is a Pullman conductor.

STUDENTS QUIT FRATERNITY
Withdraw From Kappa Delta for the
Balance of School Year at
Eaton'S ReoueSt

The agitation which has been prevalent
at the High school for the past week con-
corning fraternitieS yesterday was brought
TO a peaceful end
The organization, habits and affairs of
the Kappa Delta fraternity were put to
an extremely rigid examination, and It
was found that outside of the fact that it
- called a fraternity and that many of
its members are students at the High
school nothing bameful was found. In
TACT. many advantages have been derived
by its members from their connection with
it. 1t was also found that the parents
of the boys were heartily in favor of il
as they claimed that it helped in many
ways.
Mr.. Eaton realized this and vet the
name fraternity" came to his cars as a
bad omen. and he Immediately started at
Ter it. The recent trouble over the jun
Tor fraterniay acted as a lever to start
this movement against its fellow organ
iZation-
when asked yesterday regarding his ac-
tion in regard TO the Kappa Debts, PFinci-
pal Eaton said he had taken no action at
all and referred the interested parties to
AlVadus Mayne the president OF the KaD-
pa Delta. Mr.. Mayne said the members of
The fraternity who go to the High school
ealizing the embarrassment which their
Sexistence under the name Of a fraternity
was causing Mr.. Eaton. had seen fit to
resign their active membership in the fra
ternity until the close of the present
school year. He said also that Mr. Eaton
had thanked the boys very heartily for
their consideration and for the good feel
ing which they had shown throughout
This action practically ends the question
in the High school for this year at least
1T is probable that by next year there will
be some definite arrangement made by the
school board to meet similar questions
mites, IT Is generally conceded, are done
for.

now to be sure of him means the up- lifting of every faculty. the cultivation of every spiritual grace. We have all seen great men, but we did not know them. And there are great men whom we have not seen that we do know We know Robert Browning and Ten nyson and Whittier and Dante and St. Paul. Why, these men are our daily companions. We know their innermost heart; we know them at their highest levels. Do we not know God? Bush nell was clearly right when he said that he knew Jesus Christ better than any man in Hartford. It was Jesus himself who said, in substance, to some of his own countrymen: You do not know God you cannot understand his heart because you do not probe the depths of your own life. What one of you" and here he threw them back upon themselves, What one of you would not suffer anything for one he loved?" Who can doubt, when he reads the depths of his own heart, that there he may learn not only that God is, but also what he is like? Can anyone read the story of the Good Samaritan, or the Prodigal Son, or the Sermon on the Mount, and not know what kind of God is ours? Or better, can you see the last sacrifice of some noble heart and doubt that God is more than that As Browning makes David say con- corning Saul

 It seems as though God had hidden himself for this very purpose, that the only perception of him should be 8 spiritual perception resulting from the training and cultivation of all the graces of life. If you would be sure of God, pitch your life to his high key. If we are in accord with the eternal harmonies. there will be no doubt about the commerce between the human and the divine. Some may doubt, others may deny, but 1t will be enough for us that we have listened and heard; enough that our ear has | caught the music.

President Charles s. Mellen, of the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad. was the principal speaker at the municipal banquet to the retiring members of the board of common council of Providence Saturday night. President Mellen said in part:
 "The greatest asset of a public ser vice corporation is the good will and confidence of the community. I am satisfied that this company cannot prosper unless it has the endorsement and good win of the people. Let me tell you why we want the good win, of your city It is the second in size in New England and exceeds the great city of New York in the number of passengers it gives to US daily, and is second only to that great city of Bos- ton. It is a close sseond to the metrop- olis in the amount of freight
 Remember that pros2erity has been assassinated, business has been sand bagged, and we are in an era of de- pression, and I anticipate unfortunate results for the year to come. Do not think I am foolish enough to think a public service corporation like ours will ever do it's business without giv- ing much cause for complaint, It is the desire of the management that we pass through this period of depression without impairment of any of the con ditions affecting our employes-in other words, without a reduction in wages You can help us in attaining this end by yielding of your conveniences just little here and there.

COUNTY HOME PLANS.
Structure to Cost s1OO,0OO and Accom-
 modate 200.

Plans for the new county home to be erected at Allingtown have been ap- proved by the legislative committee ap- pointed tc arrange for the erection of the building and early in January the county representatives will be called together in this city to look over the plans and make suggestions if they deem changes advisable.
 The buildings will cost about S10O,000, and the location has cost additionally $1i,55O. The main building will be 200 feet long and three and one-half stories high, There will be two wings and an annex In the annex will be a3hospital fitted up for the sick, with physicians and nurses quarters.
 In all the institution will accommo- date 200 children. The present home in shelton avenue accommodates only 50 It is likely that even with the extra accommodations at the new institution it will be necessary to board out some of the children committed to the home, as the commitments are increasing rap idlyea M
 In thealast six months more children have been sent to the county home than in whole year previously.
 The new county home will be of brick and built in the Colonial style. It will be an imposing structure. There will be four school rooms in 1t, bath rooms, toilet rooms, complete kitchen department, dining room, large lecture room, etc.
 The sanitary arrangement will be of the best. The ventilation and lighting will be according to the most improved methods.
 The committee in charge of the con- struction of the institution is com posed of County Commissioners Walter, Thompson and Geddes, Senator Blakes- lee and Representatives Tibbitts of Wallingford and Gum of Milford.

A MIDNIGHT THEATER.
Play Began in London at a. m. to
 Test Demand for New Hours.

-e- -'
 London, Dec. 2e.-The spectacle of a distinguished first-night audience set ting themselves comfortably in their stalls to witness the production of 3 play beginning one hour after mid night was presented yesterday morn ing at the Court theater.
 In some quarters the experiment was looked upon as a sort of feeler to ob. tain the sentiment of the public on the question of a midnight theater as 3 permanent institution, with a view tc starting an agitation to amend the law One or two managers have declared that in their opinion London would handsomely support a theater raising the curtain after midnight, arguing that not only would the patrons be re cruited from the great number of nigh workers who seldom get to the theater but also from the growing number oi people, including society night owls who throng the fashionable restaurants at dinner until 10 o'clock in the even ing, and are thus too late to atIen9 plays beginning at the usual time.
