cation was largely devoted to discussing
health conditions. The sanitary commit

account of contagious diseases. This

ulated statement showing that on Feb. 7
the number of pupils absent from the
schools on account of contagious dis
eases was 1874. The same number was out
Feb Il and week later the trouble was
increased by 100. The report for the week

RAILROAD MEN ARE FINED.

In the police court yesterday Judge j.
d. Murphy found Lewis Scudder and w.
S. Craven guilty of malicious destruction
of property and fined them $50 each. No
tice of an appeal was Immediately filed.
This matter involves a quarrel between
the Ogden Waterworks company and the
Union Pacific Railroad company to deter
mine which is entitled to certain water
rights in Taylor's canyon. east of this
city The issue was taken to the supreme
court some time ago and decision is eX-
pected before the present case goes to
trial in the district court.
While in the employ of the railroad
company the two defendants are charged
with cutting TO pieces about forty feet
of wooden water pipe situated in Tay-
lOr's canyon and belonging to the water
company. This pipe was located short
distance above the intake of the Union
Pacific which secures its water for its
independent system in this canyon. 1t de-
veloped during the hearing in the lower
court that the pipe was first sawed in
about six places, but the leaks were
eorked so that it became necessary for
the two defendants to chop the pipe to
pieces. In this. il is claimed. they but
obeyed the instructions of their employ
ers. The action was taken to prevent
what the railroad people termed an en-
crOachment on patented water rights.
The first complaint charged the defend
ants with a felony, but by agreement,
this was changed to a misdemeanor.

POLICEMEN TAKE BATH.
Grin HadIock and Thomas Lever
Fall Into Ogden River.

Two members of the local police force
got a ducking in the icy waters of the
ogden river yesterday that came close to
proving fatal for one of them.
Officer Grin Hadlock ran on to a gang
of alleged tramps and followed them in
the hope of learning the whereabouts of
their rendezvous. Before the officer over
took his men they crossed a small foot
bridge near the Becker brewery. Under
this bridge the water is said to be of
great depth. Hadlock succeeded, as did
the men before him, in getting over the
bridge all right. Guard Thomas Lever,
of the police department, who was wan
dering along the route taken by Hadlock,
saw that the other officer might need
aid and he took up the trail also. When
Tommy" reached the center of the foot
bridge he made a misstep and was in
stantly Laundering in the cold water. He
rapidly drifted down stream.
Officer HadiOck saw the man fall in
the river and he FASTENED to his aid. Be
fore he could do anything toward reSeu-
ing him. however, Lever succeeded in
getting a hold on some willows in the
stream. HadlOck stood on the bank and
reached out with his club to help his
brother officer from the stream. In doing
this he. too. slipped and fell into the wa
ter. HadlOck was able to crawl out and
then aided Lever to dry land The lat
ter was pretty nearly exhausted and was
taken to his home.

NOTED WOMAN PASSESANAY
Mrs. Campbell Thompson, Daughter
of Founder of Campbellite Church,
Dead at Washington.

Washington March 6.-Mrs. Camp
bell Thompson, a daughter of Rev.
Alexander Campbell, who founded the
Christian, or Campbellite, church, died
here today For thirteen years Mrs.
Thompson was pOstmistress at Louis
vile, Ky. Her successful campaign
for reappOintment are still remembered
by those who were COnVerSant with the
doings of public life during the presi-
dental terms of Hayes, Garfield, Ar
thur. Cleveland and Harrison.
Mrs Thompson was born at Bethany,
W. Va She was married 10 William
r. Thompson of Kentucky. After he
died in 1877 she jOurneyed TO Washing
ton with her young children and asked
President Hayes for the appointment
sof postmistress at Louisville Although
her selection was bitterly fought by
Kentucky politicians, she received the
appSintment. President Arthur reap
pointed her, as did President Cleveland.
There were over eighty thousand let
tiers on file requesting the reappoint-
ment of Mrs. Thompson when Presi-
dent Harrison entered the White house.
The determined opposition of POstmas-
ter General Wanamaker kept her from
serving a fourth term.
Mrs Thompson of late years had
neen employed IN the congressional
library.

WILL SUPPLY OWN LIGHT
M. S. and John Browning Buy Will
lard Canyon Water Rights and
Will Generate Electricity.

During the past few days a deal has
been cOnsummated whereby Matthew s.
Browning and his brother, John Brown
ing. the inventor, have acquired the own
ership of virtually all the water rights
of Willard creek, in Willard canyon, six
teen miles north of here. The purpose is
said to be TO erect a power plant to fur
nish electric lights for the business block
in Ogden bounded by Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-fifth streets and Washington and
Grant avenues.
NJ S. Browning together with Engineer
w. NJ. Bostaph, visited the proposed site
of the power plant for the second time
on Thursday. He admitted last light that
the deal had been completed and said
that work on the plant would be COM
menced at an early date The plant, which
will be located at the mouth of Willard
canyon, and transmission line, will cost
approximately $4,000. Mr.. Browning fur
Their stated that they saw chance to
make a little money and decided to take
it up.
1t is understood that the transaction
carries with IL a large portion of the
rights of Willard creek. including the
purchase made by the city few months
ago for which $500 was paid. 1t is be
lieved that those back of the new deal
think that the filings of those who sold
the power to the city have lapsed, but this
is denied by the former owners, who an
nOunce that the rights held by the mu-
nicipality are good until the latter part
of April. The BrOwnings are said to
have paid a handsome sum for their ac-
quired rights. 1t is stated that two men
named Nebeker and Bunker of Willard,
filed on the water above that supposed to
be owned bv Ogden City. and that later
a Salt Laker named Clements filed 10
cation covering this part of the stream
as well as considerable contained in the
city's purchase. The rights of the three
persons named are said to have been the
ones purchased by the Brownlnss- Ow-
ing to the complicated condition of the
filings it is possible that some litigation
will result
II is understood that the Browning pur-
chase calls for two secOnd-feet of water
and that they expect to generate about
200 horse power. The plant, therefore, Will
not be as large as that proposed by the
city, as the amount of water claimed by
the latter is considerably more than this.

FREEDOM FOR THREE WIVES

Three applications for divorce were filed
in the district court yesterday All were
filed by County Attorney N ]. Harris. In
the first Clara Campbell asks for separa-
ton from Hezekiah Campbell. She al
leges that for more than four years the
defendant had failed 10 provide. for her
and their three children, of whom she
asks the custody.
In the second Annie Hileman seeks a
divorce from her husband, John c. Hile-
man. The grounds alleged in this COM
plant are similar to those alleged in the
foregoing case. Mrs. Hileman sets forth
that she is compelled to work for her own
living. No children were born to this
couple
In the other complaint Meriah Chatland
charges Thomas Chatland with cruelty
and in addition to a decree of divorce asks
for the custody of their three children.
She AYERS that the defendant is the own
er of a house and lot and of considerable
money in the bank. He is restrained from

HUGHES TALKS TO
TRAFFIC CLUB
Governor of New York Made
Guest of Honor at
Dinner.

REGULATION OF RAILWAYS
PEOPLE DETERMINED, BUT JUS
TIcE WILL BE DONE.

I New York, March 6.-That the peo-
pie are determined that there shall be
adequate regulation of the railroads,
but that they are sincere in their
avowed wish that such regulation shall
be just, was the belief expressed by
Governor Charles Z. Hughes in an ad-
dress before the Traffic club tonight.
The governor was a guest at the din
ner of the club, which also entertained
the heads and other officials of many
railroad corporations.
The governors conviction that there
was an urgent necessity of first arriv-
ing at the concrete facts of the stu
alton and finding out just what was
wanted before any attempt was made
to regulate, was made plain al =. The
New York public service commission
was used as an illustration of the
proper machinery for getting the traf-
fic system and the people who patron
lied it into touch with each other for
their mutual interest.
Cheers for the Governor.
Governor Hughes was introduced by
General Passenger Agent George a.
. Cullen of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western, as the man who does big
things" This reference pleased the
fancy of the diners, WHO cheered as the
governor responded.
Governor Hughes said, in part:
There is not the slightest question
that the great American people are in
terested in their railroads and want TO
see them developed and extended and
every possible means adopted to bring
them up to the maximum of service.
Now, in order that the problems of
10 no he
honest cooperation; there must be CO.
operation in a necessary effort to have
everything that people really desire il
TO be; and that is right, and as you go
up and down this country and you
meet the average American citizen, in
whatever organization or occupation
you may find him, and you come tC
close quarters with him and try to un-
derstand what he really wants, ninety
times out OF a hundred you viii FIND
he only wants what is right"
RaiIrosding a Public Business.
The governor said that railroad mer
!. must recognize the indisputable fact
sthat the people had determined tina
railroading was a public business, anC
that it was to be regulated in the in
terests of the public Whether this
regulation came in the right way
would depend, he said, upon the sin
cerity and intelligence of the methods
10 deal with these things in a sensible
&nd fair way that all rights may bt
sSfeguarded with reference to all par
ties concerned. The proper machinery
should be provided so that anyone who
thinks any particular thing is not right
will have a place to go where his views
viii be heard and honestly passed
upon.
