SAssfng position last night e The boys. whose names were Fred URourke, Albert Webb and John Dohnson. were led into police head quarters by Officers Canty and Mill Hamson.

 \ When they were led up to the desk before Night Sergeant Ragland. Mir. Ragland sized them up for a moment. Inquired their ages. and was told they were thiratn. He looked at a sign over his desk which reads Lock up no boys under fourteen years of age" and then--scratched his head.
 Sergeant Ragland was thinking of - recent legislative bill providing a heavy penalty for any officer of the Jaw who locks up any boy under the sage of the fourten years. This is fne SJuvenile Court bill and there has been some difference of opinion as to whether it became effective April f2, or will go into effect thirty days after the final adjournment of the Legis- lature.

\ DUTY THAT
 EVERY WOMAN
 OWES HERSELF
To Guard Her Health at Import ant Times in Her Life When Her Physical Condition
 Will Decide Her
 Future.

< It is useless to tell a hard working woman to take life easy and not to worry.
 But 1t is the duty of every woman as she approaches the age of forty to save her strength as much as possible to take her cares as lightly as may be and to build up her system to meet any unusual demands upon it. It Is a duty not only to herself but to her family for her future health depends upon it.
 To guard. against a complete break down in health, the blood must be kept pure and rich No other medi- cine does this so well as Dr. Williams Pink Pills. for they act both On the blood and the nerves, restore the ap- petite, and keep every organ toned up. All women cannot rest whenever they should put this strengthening medicine is within every womans reach.
 Mrs. Mary J. McDaniel, of 1772 N. Church street. Decatur. Ill.,, found Dr. williams' Pink Pills just the tonic she needed, even after she was completely broken down in health and apparently beyond the help of medicine. She says:
 T became run down in health a few years ago and for over six months grew worse daily. with no prospect of relief. I suffered from such terrible
  Thought I should go crazy. My limbs were always cold and I was often so dizzy and short of breath that could hardly get about the house. My blood was thin and I lost over thirty pounds in weight. Many days I la to give up and go to bed.
 My doctor said he could not help me and later when I had hacking cough feared I might go into con- sumption. I read about Dr. Williams Pink Pills in our paper and had my husband bring some of them home. They helped me so much that I used them until entirely cured. I have been able ever since to do all of my work with ease I have the greatest faith fin the pills, as a tonic for weak. run down women. I am in perfect health now and do not know what 1t is to be sick any more"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills revitalize and build up the blood. This makes them a most valuable medicine for dis ease dependant upon thin and watery blood, such as anaemia, after effects of the grip and levers, general weak ress, rheumatism. indigestion, ner- vousness, St. Vitus' dance and even Apartial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. If you are suffering from any of these diseases, you cannot afford to expert ment, but should use the medicine which has cured them for. over generation

 Later the rabid brute made his Rp- pearance on Union Street and after ter rifying all the people in that neishbor- hood, proceeded to Randolph Street followed by cries of mad dog" md the slamming of many doors along the route. Mothers ran for their children and fathers for their guns.
 Many shots were fired, but the ani- nal escaped unharmed until he neared the trestle, where three well directed shots put the dog out of his misery and allayed the terror of the people.

Baby Rules a Street.

One of tn curiosities OF downtown
streets is ably in swaddling clothes,
says the New York Times. An infant
of tender age appeared on Nassau
street the o. er day In the arms of it's
muse. II attracted no end Of atten.
ton, men and women of all ages and
all conditio' of life turning to look
at it. In the opinion of everybody, ex.
CT. the i'm Mediate relatives, It was a
very ordinary baby; 1t was the mere
fact that 1t was a baby and was tax.
ing an airing in business streets that
made It an object of general interest.
Babies, no doubt, are so thick in the
home neighborhoods of some of those
people who turned to stare that 1t is
hard to walk without falling over one
or more of them; yet SO seldom is a
baby seen in downtown streets that
its occasional presence there is cause
for general wonderment.

The Salt Lake Opera Co. in
Robin Hood" at the opera
house Saturday night, bids fair to
be a glorious success. Six per-
formances at Salt Lake City were
credited as being all but the
equal of the rendition given by
the famous "Bostonians." The
Deseret News says in part:
1.-The presentation as a whole
was wonderful one. Not even
the grand memory of the Boston
ians' first productions, in any
way dimmed the enjoyment Of
the audience. On the contrary, it
was constant pleasure and an
establishment to compare the
work of the amateurs with that
OF the great originals, and in one
respect at least, that of the tell e.
ing and sonorous chorus of the
home company, the Bostonians
were certainly equalled, if they
were not distanced. The chorus
really deserves first mention. II
was the strongest, best looking,
and the best acting aggregation
over which Prof. Mcclellan ever
raised his baton, and clad in the
magnificent costumes obtained
from San Francisco, the effects
constantly drew forth bursts Of
applause. The thrilling finales of
act one and two were electrify.
ing in their effects, and nothing
finer has been heard on our stage
for years, than the combination
of such a chorus and such list
of principals, supported by Nc.

II has been figured out that there are
q chances to one against you always
in a field of ten horses. The best sys.
tenn ever known is at the mercy Of the
betting ring. There are not bookmak-
ers enough in the United States to lay
against system. Several years ago
a man started with fve-dollar bet,
doubled It after each loss and re.
turned to the original five dollars after
each winning. For awhile he pros

broke.

cred by Mr.. Taft recently in a speech
at Tacoma, Wash, and the latter did

10 very true and uncomfortable posi-.
tion. Here is a portion of Mr.. Taft's
speech:
"For two presidential campaigns
Mr.. Bryan urged, with all the elo-
quence and force possible, the free
coinage OF silver at 16 to l but now he
is postponing the issue until he can
bring 1t forward again as panacea In
times Of financial disaster. for which It
is fitted, not as real remedy, but as
means Of getting into power.
Secondly, he Is now emphasizing
the subject Of anti.imperalism and
the oppression Of the Filipinos, but ne
postponed the issue OF anti imperial.
ism until by his effort the treaty Of Par

the PHILIPPINES was transferred from

name has been connected, and he has
now for eight years been engaged in

1t Is predicted that before the end
Of another year there will be q de.
cided contraction In money circles. In
view Of this fact the farmers, who are
exceptionally favored with bounteous
crops this year, should consider the
wisdom Of paying of debts this fall
rather than spending their money for
mere wants and doubtful necessities.
Especially should those debts secured
by mortgage be paid. Not only will
much interest be saved, but BY little
care now IL may be that the home and
property will be saved. With money
hard to get during the next year or
two many farmers who fail to pay this
fall may find themselves up against IT.
This is merely offered as reminder,
or suggestion and Is to be taken for
only what the reader considers 1t
worth. 1t doesn't cost either Of us
anything, and II its worthless, pass
II by.

HYDE PARK, Sept. 16.-While
most everybody. in Hyde Park is
too busy to turn around twice, it
seems that some of our good cit

Such was the case with our gen.
ial, kind hearted friend, James L.
Kerby, for on Wednesday, Sept.
IL. he and Miss Brown, of Hunts
vile, were joined in the holy
bonds Of wedlock. 1t seems that
but few of their friends were let
in to the secret, and many were
taken by surprise, our self with
the rest. We will say, however,
"Well done James, and we trust
that Others seeing your good
works will go and do likewise. "
Miss Brown has captured a prize,
for James |. Kerby is an excel
ent young man, worthy of a true
wOman's love. He is an intelli-
gent, up right and honest young
man with character above re-
proach. While we are not ac-
quainted with the now Mrs. Kir-
by, yet we believe her to be just
the one to make a worthy help
meet for our friend James. Bro
Their Kirby is now living in Lo-
