 SUIT BEGUN
First Day of Case of Hurley
 vS. Abbott
A Plan tor Taking of De- fense's Proof Beginning Next Monday.

The trial of the great priority suit of Hurley against Abbott and others has at last begun. The case was opened yesterday morning. Some little time was spent in the disposition of pre- liminary motions, after which proof concerning the priority of the lands of ths plaintiff was put in. The rest of The day was given to making arrange ments for the offering of proof con cerning the status of the lands of the four thousand and odd defendants
 A plan was readily agreed upon and il was announced by the court just be- fore adjournment that on the resump- 1ion of the case at half past nine o'clock on Monday morning the court would take up the sections Of land in township l. north of range east. ly- ing south of the Salt River Valley canal and north of the river beginning with the eastern section.
 Al the beginning of the trials mo- ton for a change of venue on the ground of sbias. was offered by D. P. Kleiman representing the shareholders of the Mesa Canal. The motion was presented by Judge Street. It was de- nied on the ground that il was defect i've in form and that the proper notice had not been given. Speaking further If the motion. Judge Kent said that it would be granted only by asking one of the other judges of the territory in 10 try the case. He had consulted with the other members of the bench re- garding the case last Saturday.
 Judges Nave and Sloan were found 10 be disqualified by reason of being land owners in the valley. and Judges Campbell and Doan are so busily en- gagged in their own districts that they would be unable to sit in the case be- fore next September. Judge Kent fur ther said that he could find no legal reason for granting the change.
 Speaking of the affidavits of those who had alleged bias. the court said it was ueless to say anything to them,

Although the present universal habit of smoking is of comparatively recent date, the use of tobacco was carried to d great excess when it was first in- trOduced The old-time citizen smok- ed even in church.

 At this rate every man. woman and child. white, black, yellow or brown. might have had about seventy five rides each during the year.

THE HUMAN THROAT.
II Has a Sort of Little Brain That
Controls It's Actions.

Controls Its Actions.
Did you know that the throat has a
brain of its own? Few people are
aware of it, but it's fact. There is a
small ganglia which exercises direct
control of the muscles of the throat
and acts as its brain. OF course it is
subservient to the genuine brain, but
at the same time does good deal of in
dependent thinking for itself. 1t is
very timid and suspicious Of any
strange objects that come near the
throat.
For this reason it is very difficult for
a physician to operate on the throat.
Before anything can be done in this di-
rection it is necessary for the operator
to gain the confidence of the little brain
that dominates it. 1t frequently takes
weeks before this confidence can be
secured, and until 1t is secured it is
impossible to perform an operation.
Woe to the man who attempts rough
treatment to the throat before gaining
the little brains confidence. His oper-
atoms will be resented with violent
paroxysms, first of the throat, then of
the diaphragm, and, If the operator still
persists, the patient will be thrown
into commissions. Still more curious is
the fact that this little brain has a
memory, and if once frightened in this
way it is almost impossible to ever
eain it's confidence, no matter how
gentle the operator may be.

a Fair Catch,

So strongly had the theory and prae-
tice of ambIdexterity appealed to the
burgesses and freemen of Pushville
that they called a meeting to urge the
necessity of bringing up children to
use both left and right hands with
equal facility.
81 defy any one in this audience to
mention single action that can per-
form with my right hand which can
not do equally well with my left
hand" cried one of the speakers.
There was short pause, and then a
voice at the back of the hall cried:
'Try putting it in your right hand

Riuuer the Steal. Smaller the Crime.

The Manx law of old times had
many oddities, but none, surely, quaint
er than to make the greater the crime
the less, because of the impossibility,
within the narrow limits Of the Isle
of Man, that the bigger thief should
be successful.

offender cannot hide them; but If he

A Temple Made From Single Stone.

Mayalipmam, India, has seven of the
most remarkable temples In the world,
each Of these unique places of worship
having been fashioned from solid gran
lite powders. Some idea of their size
and the task Of chisellng out the inte-
rior may be cleaned from the fact that
the smallest Of the seven is twenty
four feet high, seventeen feet long and
twelve feet wide. Travellers who have
carefully examined them are of the
opinion that it took centuries of work
to carve these graceful edifces from
native rock.

The prospect that pleblian son
of King Leopold and a woman of
the commonest antecedents may
come heir to the throne of Belgium,
is causing the greatest ankle
ty to Belgians of all classes. Ac
cording to information coming
from court authorities there is
grave danger of this, as Leopold is
said to have about determined to
legalize his marriage under a re
ligious ceremony with the Baro
ness Vaughn, formerly the wife of
a Louvian coal HEAVIER by whom
he has two year.old son with
civil ceremony. Such an act, it
is claimed would make the Baro-
ness queen of Belgium and her son
heir to the throne.

DLATH OF Mr.. HOLMES LOWE.

With the death of Mr.. Holmes
Lowe the Times Recorder has lost
an employe of long connection with
this paper, one who had given
many years to the building up of
It's business, and who had never
ceased to feel a deep personal
interest in its prosperity.
Mr.. Lowe entered the service
of the Times Recorder when a
young boy. He grew up in its
business department and it had
been hoped that his connection
in that capacity would remain
unbroken for many years to come.
Experience natural ability,
49, integrity combined to make
an efficient and most trust
THY employe in responsible
clifton. His death is a distinct
BIS to the Times Recorder.
Nr. Lowe had a host of friends
Americas and the surrounding
eountry to whom the news of his
death came as a great shock.
OF afsble disposition, with gener
Gus impulses, he attached many
to him with the strong cords of
warm friendship. To them and
the bereaved family the Times
Recorder extends its deepest
sympathy.

Regarding that sturdy old pio-

fifty years ago crossed the plains in
an cmigrant wagon dawn by yoke
of oxen, there is an intensely inter-
csting article in the current issue
of the Pacific monthly. Mr.. Meek
or is now retracing the old trail
in the same way in which he
once followed it. In an interview
Mr.. Meeker said; II am enjoying
my trip very much and am meeting
many of the old pioneers, who show
great interest in my work. l am
good for two miles an hour with
my oxen. expect to walk most OF
the way across the plains. l know
of no better way to spend a year
from my lite than in making an ef-
fort to mark the old Oregon trail in
a permanent manner. believe the
old road should be preserved from
total obliteration, as it is an inceu-
tive to our children to be patriotic.

raise the money for monument in

Says a writer in Everybody's
magazine: Our school children bat
ten on the husks of the past. They
know more about the tax system
of the Roman Empire, and is
faults, than they do about the fol-
lies of the tax system of their own
commonwealth. They are familiar
with negro slavery-or rather with
its corpse-but they must struggle,
unaided, to self-won knowledge of
the simpler, present issue of child
labor. Why are we dependent on
magazines for what we know (if
haply we know anything) about
trusts, labor organization, the pre-
vention of tuberculosis, immigra-
ton, prison reform, civic purity,
and the score of other problems that
so intimately affect our lives2 For
knowledge of these matters, though
rejected by the schools, is truly the
cornerstone of our society.
Let us have done with all flimsy
apologies and trumped-up extenua-
tions, Our schools, except in the
formal subjects, are wasting par
ents' money and children's lives
while they peddle out unsavory
scrapings from the rubbish heap OF
a latter-day scholasticism as truly
medieval as it is useless.

IDAHO ANIMALS SHORT
ON ROOM FOR BRANDS

Under the present state brand
law a hundred men may use the
same brand providing they can find
a different place on the animal to
put, it. This leads to all sorts of
peculiar complications and the state
auditor, who is also ex-officio state
recorder of brands, says he is think

ing leg islature pass law extend
ing the carcass of each sheep, horse
and COW brute in the state for
branding purposes. The following
letter explains the necessity of the
recommendation
Dear Sir :-Certificate of your
brand duly received. herewith
return the same for the reason that
your brand conflicts with a pre-
viously recorded brand in this office
on the same place on the animal. 1t
will be necessary that you select
a new brand or change this one
to some other place on the animal
where it has not been heretofore
recorded, which is allowed under
the new brand law, before can file
your certificate for record in this
office.
"Your brand 90 is on record in
this office on the left shoulder, left
thigh, left stifle, right thigh and
right shoulder on horses; also on

some place on these animals tina

your brand will be recorded. -
