Diluted Glycerin Is Soothing.
Persons who think glycerin does not
agree with them would find in many in
stances that it would be a benefit if d.
luted sufficiently. No glycerin should be
bought that Is not pure. and the dilutant
properties must be rose water or plain
water. A combination of glycerin and
castor oil, half and half, we'll perfumed

can be applied to the lips, especially if

Accordion Pleated Rufaes.

SHELTER IS NOW SURE GO
Salt Lake Mining Men and Ogden
Citizens Reach Final
nenisinu
flee, 24s4 Washington Ave.

Ogden is now assured of an independ-
ent smelter and its location will be near
the Hot Springs, ten miles north. This
was virtually settled at a mass meeting
held at the Weber club rooms last even
ing and participated in by a number OF
independent mine owners of Salt Lake
the business men of Ogden and a num-
Der of farmers from both Weber and Box
Elder counties. The matters that stand
IN the way of the project are of a minor
by President Pingree of the club at an
early date to complete the details
Those present from Salt Lake were
Harry Joseph, George w. Ritter, W. C.
Alexander, Willard Snyder and Mr.. John
son. all of whom spoke on the PROPOSE
ton. They announced that they were
going to build a smelter somewhere and
that they had practically settled on the
site at the Hot Springs, where is located
the plant of the Utah Smelling company.
The only provision they asked was that
the people of Ogden secure for them COM
mon rates on the railroads and reach an
understanding with the farmers whose
lands were within radius of three miles
of the proposed site as to the amount of
damages that would be asked. They said
that they We're willing to pay damages,
but desired to know what they might ex-
pect in this direction.
President Pingree assured the visitors
that the club and the citizens would do all
in their power to meet the requirements
and later he said he was certain that
Weber county would secure the smelter
He will name committees today to take
the matter up Immediately.
The only opposition raised at last
nights meeting came from the farmers
whose land is located within a mile of the
proposed site. They said, however, with
the question of damages amicably set
tied they would favor the project

BONDS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Board Will Submit 100000 PROPOSE
ton to Voters of City.

Preliminary steps that mean a new
High school for Ogden were taken at last
nights session of the board of educa-
ton when a resolution presented by H.
w. Civilian was adopted The resolu-
ton provides that in the judgment of the
board it has become advisable TO call an
election in this city to submit to the
taxpayers whether or not bonds amount
ing to $4,000 shall be issued by the board
and sold for the purpose of raising funds
to build a structure. Should the bonds
be voted it will mean that the board will
have in the neighbOrhood of S125,000 to
eXpend on a new building.
If the new High sechooI is built the
present building will be used as a grade
school. Accordingly about $4,000 can be
appropriated from the building fund in
addition to the amount raised by the
bond as no new grade school will be re-
quired during the year. The need of a
new building is evident and the opinion of
the members of the board is that the
bonds will be voted should the election
be called.
According to reports made to the board
last night for the first time in the his
tory of the schools the enrolment has

COMPLAIN OF SHEEP DYING
State Board of Health Asked to In
vestigate Latest Development in
Valley-Swine Plague Continues.

The state board of health yesterday
received a request from c. L. Irving
for an investigation of a disease which
has developed among his sheep. Mr..
Irving had sheep on the range, but
within the last two weeks he has
brought them to Sandy. where he has
fed hay, During that time, he says,
fifty head out of a flock of 5000 have
died. Other complaints are that sheep
are dying. 1t is the claim of the own
ers that the fatalities are due to arsen-
zeal or other pOisons deposited on the
range by the smelters.
The swine plague in the county of
Weber continues, although rigid meas
ures have been taken to check the
spread of the epidemic. Efforts will be
made to destroy all infected hogs and
to quarantine the premises. 1t is eX-
pected that the stern measures con-
sidered necessary will be met with OPP
position on the part of the owners of
the herds, but it is deemed the only
sure means of eradicating the disease.
The government inspector at the
packing plant at Ogden has condemned
a number of hogs on account of the in
lection. The county and federal author
tiles have been asked to cooperate with
the state board of health in gaining
control of the situation. The disease is
highly contagious and, tremendously
fatal.

AFFIRMATION OF VERDICT
Printed Copy of Decision of Court of
Appeals in Shepard Case
Is Received.

The printed decision of the circuit
court OF appeals of the Eighth circuit
affirming the judgment and sentence of
the United States district court of this
district in the case of Richard b. Shep-
ard has arrived. The lower court is
sustained on every point. Shepard was
found guilty on two counts and SEN
fenced to serve thirteen months in the
state penitentiary, the sentences to run
cOncurrently. Shepard was charged
with sending through the mails infor-
nation as to how, by what means and
where erotic books and literature could
be obtained.
In one of his defenses Shepard al
legged the matter contained in the let
tiers alleged to have been sent by him
was not of character to come within
the prohibitory statute. In that the de-
tense evidently overlooked the fact that
the giving of information constitutes an
offense. Another part of the defense
was that the defendant did not deposit
the letters in the postoffice. On this
point ii was held that if the letters We're
deposited in any mail boxes and it was
proved that the letters had been mailed
under his direction, it were as though
he had mailed them himself in the post
Office proper. 1t was set up at the
committing the offense by Robert W.
McAfee, an agent of the Anthony Com
stock society of New York, whose pur-
pose is the suppression of vice; and c..
D. Latimer, a special agent of Denver
The defendant excepted to the in
structions of the judge to the jury, and
asked that the court so word his in
structions as to read that if any single
juror entertained a reasonable doubt,
verdict should be returned for the de-
PENDANT. The court instructed the jury
as a whole. In passing on this point
the court of appeals says that such ap-
peal to individual notions would tend
to promote hung jQries.
In conclusion the court of appeals
says: THE defendant had careful
and impartial trial, during which the
court, under exasperating annoyances,
displayed marked equipoise and judi
cial temper"
Shepard has sixty days in which to
devise further legal processes. One of
them lies in an application for re-
hearing.

SPLENDID HORSE DESTROYED
Three Shots Required to End Misery
After Animal Breaks
It's Leg.

1t took three shots to end the life of a
truck horse belonging TO a fOur-horse
team of the Salt Lake Mill & Elevator
company which fell and broke its leg
at Main and First South streets, yester-
day afternoon about 4:30 O'Clock. Just
south of the corner the horse slipped upon
the icy pavement and fell. A crowd quick
~ gathered. while the driver and several
volunteers worked to get the animal to
its feet. After long and painful effort.
the horse rose to a standing position. 1t
was then found that its right fore leg
was broken below the knee. The broken
bone had cut through the flesh.
The injury was of such a nature that
there was no hope of saving the horse
1t was decided to kill the animal
But owing to the gathering crowd and
the nearness of numerous places of bust
ness, this proved a difficult undertaking
for Police Sergeant Roberts, who was
called upon to act as executioner
The sergeant approached the suffering
animal to decide upon the best method or
putting it out of its misery without jeop-
ardising the lives of bystanders and per-
sons in the surrounding building. His
caution made 1t necessary to fire three
shots
The horse was a splendid black animal,
used in the lead of the fOur-horse team.
