TRUTH

be changed to a system which Will
embrace speed and movement when
will be a good thing for the rising
generation.
Truth has championed the public
schools of Salt Lake when the lriD-
une and it's fellow-knockers were play
ing TIE anvil chorus to beat the band
We lave the finest school buildings
in the world, the teachers as whole
have no superiors and the educational
results obtained are the very highest.
These facts are acknowledged among
educators all over this country. The
fame of our schools has even spread
to the Argentine Republic. Supt.
Christensen few days ago received
a letter from Ernest Nelson, special
commissioner of education for the
Argentine Republic, from which the
following is an extract:
when visited your section at the
ST. Louis exposition, and during my
talks with my friend, Professor Cum
mings, | became convinced that the
work you are carrying on in the
schools of Salt Lake City sets the
best standard for the Argentine
schools, as it embodies in it the prin-
ciples of natural development of the
child's experience without taking him
away from his natural interests and
surroundings.
81 wonder to what extent / am en-
titled to draw upon your enthusiasm,
and to ask you to help me in getting
a complete exhibit of the work of the
played at the permanent museum re-
ferred to. / can only assure you that
from your attitude in the matter de-
ponds a good deal of the future pro-
gress in education in Buenos Ayres
which with its million inhabitants is
the metropolis of Latin America AS
you can easily understand the United
States is our model in education and
for that reason the future course of
education in Argentine largely de-
ponds on what is exhibited in its edu-
catonal museum. Of course / will
bear the transportation expenses, and
should be glad to run up to Salt Lake
City if you advise me to do so.
81 sincerely trust that you will con-
slider the petition of the Argentine
government broad mindedly and SYM
pathetically, and beg to remain,
Yours respectfully,
"ERNESTO NELSON,
Special Commissioner of Educa-
ton from Argentine Republic"

TRUTHS.

Frank j. Cannon of the Salt Lake
Tribune, it is reported with fair
show of authenticity has mining
property in Nevada which in short
time will make him half million dol
lars. We hope it is true.
The notorious DR.. Payne is again
in the tolls. Several times he got in
to the mishes of the state laws on
changes of performing criminal OPP
erations, but always got out. This
time he has fallen into the hands OF
the Federal authorities on the charge
of using the United States mails and
the express companies for the trans
mission of literature and instruments
for the performance of criminal opera
tons. The doctor will probably find
it harder to escape from Uncle Sans
clutches than he did from the State
courts.
What hitherto has been aptly de-
scribed as semi business property has
been selling in Salt Lake for a num-
Der of years at far too low figures
as compared with business property.
Business property meant property on
Main street between South Temple
and Third South streets, very small
area in proportion to the size of the
town. Owing to the fact that the
city is growing and the volume of
business increasing, the strictly bust
ness area is also increasing, which
means that State street, West Temple
street, First, Second, Third ana
Fourth South streets are rapidly be-
coming part of the strictly business
area. This is particularly true as to
State street from First to Fourth
South streets. Take for instance
State street between First and Sec
ond South, where the Consolidated
Wagon & Machine Co. is located.
That is now one of the busiest points
in the Inter-mountain region. The
farm implement business never was
better than at present, thanks to the
prosperous seasons enjoyed by the til
lers of the soil in Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming, and the bright outlook for
next harvest owing to the bountiful
supply of moisture we have had this
winter and spring. The automobile
depot of the Con. Wagon & Machine
Co.'S business is also hourishing. This
week the firm has turned out two
electric and two gasoline cars, Column
bus and Bincks. The gasoline truck
is now being demonstrated by the
larger wholesale houses of the city
who contemplate using it instead of
the present method of horse vehicles.
We have always thought that the
vertical system of writing in use in
the public schools was very bad

We entirely agree with the writer
of this communication in his estimate
of Mr.. Roosevelt, but 1t looks very
much as if the country needed Mr.
Roosevelt for at least four years

GIRL BROKE HER LEG
Sister Mel With Same Kind of
 Accident Few Years AqO.

Alice Morgan, the IA years old daughter of Mr and Mrs Lawrence Morgan of Wolcott street, while coasting down Wolcott street Satur- day evening, had one of her legs broken. She was on double ripper, which her brother owns, and which is considered one of the fastest in the city. It was while the ripper, on which was a big load. was turning the corner not far from Howard street, that it tipped, catching the young girls leg in such manner that it was fractured The accident happened in almost the identical spot as similar accident few years ago. when Miss Irene Morgan, sister of the girl injured Saturday, had her leg broken in almost the same man ner.
 Wolcott street is one of the best in the city for coasting and during the winter the hill is alive with sleds and double rippers. Last week the sliding was so good that a ripper, that is a good one, could start near Niagara street and go down the hill like streak, not stopping until 1t reached Welton street, about half a mile slide.
 Morgan's ripper, which was built many years ago by Mir Morgan, who is a foreman for Tracy Bros, is a hummer and is so strongly construct ed that although at times 1t has run into teams, it is little the worse for the accidents. Notwithstanding the fact that it has been used continually for more than dozen years 1t is still in good condition.
 There is bad turn where the ac- cident occurred Saturday night and that is the reason the ripper tipped.

SHEEP PUTS UP FIGHT.
Arizonian's Experience With . Big
 Buck-PrOtects His Flock.

Bert Ford, the mining man, has possibly met with as many exciting experiences during his twenty years of hustling in the mountains of Ari- zona as falls to mortal man, but re- gently he had an experience that was entirely new ands at the same time interesting and exciting.
 The adventure was nothing more or less than an encounter with fighting buck ''bighorn' weighing POO pounds and until the last ball was fired from his thirty three it was a question whether ''the survival of the fittest" was to be man or beast. Mir Ford has the massive horns mounted and hanging over his office desk, says the Arizona Repub- lican, and all friends from Missouri are invited to call and examine them if they are in doubt regarding this tale. The story is best told in Mir Ford's own words:
 Tt was few weeks ago that l made trip out to the White Tank Mountains with gentleman from Chicago who is interested in the Ford group of mines. After driving thirty miles across the sage brush we final ly struck the foothills and along about 4 in the evening we arrived in camp. As game is plentiful in the White Tanks. we had brought along thirty-thirv Winchester repeater, an automatic twenty-two and a, good supply Of ammunition.
 "Well, it was along about sundown ~l ruto elt peeling spuds while I was getting things all fixed for mess of bacon and fiapjacks. when up jumps Shep and begins barking like sixty knew something was doing and grabbing the thirty-thiry l lit out after the dog. We'll, sir. not more than hun dred yards away was bunch of about eighteen of the largest bighorn sheep I ever saw.
 My companion had come up in the meantime and We both started to blaze away. In no time the bunch was of like flash. all except the big buck, who started for us with blood fin his eye. his massive horns almost touching the ground. l continued to pump lead at our four footed friend until he was within fifty feet of where we stood and then realizing our danger yelled to my companion to climb the rocks. which he did.
 After I had plugged our strenu- ous visitor three times without effect. I seriously thought of using the butt end or the gun as last resort before we came together and 1t was with considerable anxiety that pulled the trigger on my last cartridge, just as the animal. furious with rage and pain. dashed head on toward me. At the crack of the rife the brute was within three feet of me the bull let crashing through his bony skull and the grand old fighter gave one final jump in the air. and all was oyer"

HUGO IN TOWN
High Sheriff Comes Here to Look
 Over Field of Democracy.

Philip Hugo, democratic county sheriff-elect. who takes ofice In June, was in town Saturday for the express purpose of unraveling the mix-up re- lating to the two appointments of deputy sheriff which he shall have to make here. He was with Attorney Kennedy for some time. 1t being re- ported that Attorney Kennedy has been engineering the candidacy oi ex-COnstable John K. O'Brien, than whom no better democrat ever cast q vote. It Is said that MT Hugo has been the recipient of very slanderous letters regarding another candidate, James A. Hynes. These letters are reported to have said that MT Hynes is not worthy of the appointment, The high sheriff said that there is no truth in the derogatory letters about Hynes and that he is true blue democrat and we'll liked in his party and always took his principles from the platform of his party. He has al. ways been party man out and out.
 MT Hugo was with Emil Lindeman for time. MT Lindeman Is credited with having engineered MT Hugo's campaign in Waterbury and that as he does not wish for the appointment of deputy sheriff himself he has SC. lected his friend, Emil K. Steinman, who, according to all reports, was in the band wagon of the delegation that went from here to the republi. can county convention, and that he was one of the loudest shouters for Jacob D. Walter. There has been so much gossip floating around about the two appointments to be made that MT Hugo decided to come to town himself and make his own observa. tiOns.
 A number of lawyers who knew Nil O'Brien when he was a constable have been accused of writing to MI Hugo letters that were derogatory to the character of Mir Hynes. One ,oi them to-day admitted writing let. ter to MT Hugo for one of the candi. dates. He did not mention his name and he denied positively that it men. tioned or even alluded to Mir Hynes It was simply an ordinary recommen. dation. he said, to the effect that he knew the bearer so long and knew him to be honest, etc.

MUSIC HALTS PANIC.
Goodness of Prima Donna Neil-
 son In Hour of Peril.
ILL SANG "STAR SPANCLED BANNER"
Famous National Air sung by Chica. 70 Opera House Audience n Never BefOre-Disaster Averted by
 Power of SOng.

CHICAGO. Feb. 25-By the coolness of Miss Alice Neilsen, prima donna of the San Carlos Opera company, Chica- go was saved from theater disaster which would probably have equaled that at the Iroquois theater three years ago, when 576 persons lost their lives.
 The opera presented was Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor." It was the last performance of the engagement, and the house was packed from the orchestra pit to the topmost gallery, which is fully 100 feet above the level of the stage. Near the close of the second act the famous sextette had al- most been concluded The singers were Miss Nielsen, Mime. Maria ,Golieri, Signorina Angelina Fornari, Signor Giuseppe Perini, Signor Ghidini and Senor Florencio Constantine. In the wings on either side of the stage were grouped members of the chorus.
 The audience was listening spell bound to the stirring number when little cloud of smoke made it's appear ance from somewhere, apparently be- meath or immediately in front of the stage.
 The wave of smoke steadily grew larger. Its odor penetrated out into the auditorium, and then came the first evidences of real alarm.
 Men clambered over the backs of seats, careless of the women and chil- dren in their way. All the way up the aisles women, too, were seizing wraps and quitting the place. Many others were so frightened they could not stir Here and there one or another toppled over in her seat or fell in the aisle in faint.
 Many women were trampled upon in the minute that the excitement was at its height. and all over the house oth- CTS swooned. Several were carried from the house unconscious. and their condition is said to be serious.
 There was small door in the center of the curtain. It opened, and Miss Nielsen, cool and smiling. waved her hand to the orchestra leader, Signor Cont, and cried, Star Spangled Ban ner..' Instantly the strains of the na.- tional song were struck up by the mu- sicians and Miss Nielsen began to sing. Through the little door she rolled out the enlivening air
 The famous song was sung as 1t had never been sung before. in Chicago The audience. one by one, took up the words, and soon the whole house was singing in truly inspired fashion. Pan ic was literally banished by song and the threatened disaster averted.

CUTTING STEEL WITH YARN.
Prisoner Cuts One Bar in IS Hours

and Another in 5 Hours.
 What the drop of water does to the hardest stone In only circumstance to what a thread of yarn can accom- plish.
 Major McClaughry. warden of the Federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, once found a prisoner who was sup posed to be pounding stone working away at one of the bars to an out side window.
 The man finally admitted what he was doing and was induced to give a demonstration. A grating of the same description was placed in his cell. says Popular Mechanics. and a guard stationed over him to exact the proof of the statement.
 With the lime stone dust and sili- cate from the stone pile. the yarn from his sock and little water this man cut the bessemer steel bar in eighteen working hours. With some fine emery. a chalk line, and two wooden handhoids to save his fingers he made the other clean cut of the bar in five hours. proving the matter to the guards satisfaction
