PROSECUTING A PREACHER.
By EDWIN A
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

Before he entered the ministry the
Rev. T. A. Miller of a certain village
in South Dakota was house painter
and paper hanger.
Because his salary was insufficient
to support his family he has been COM
PEELED to work at his trade during the
week.
1t is noted that his congregation made
no special objection to Mr.. Miller's
week day industry. 1t hurt their pride
somewhat. but it eased the financial
burden" of the church. And you
know
''rhe jngling of the guinea helps the
hurt that honor feels"
One day. however, the preacher be-
gan the job of painting and decorating
saloon.
Horrors!
The members Of the official board
met in pious assembly and decreed that
the pastor must resign or be fired"
They ordered him out Of the parson-
back rental for the use of the par
sonage. Afterward they withdrew the
suit and paid the costs on agreement
that the preacher should vacate in
eight days.
1t does not appear that the hard
working pastor drank liquor in the sa-
loon. No one accused him Of that. 1t
further appears that the saloon was
closed for business when he did the
work.
And every one agreed the preacher
did good job.
But these modern Pharisees, so con-
cerned as to the mint, anise and cum

lists, would rob the stalled OK of his

man had earned it by the sweat of his
face. But paperng a saloon-they
drew the line there!
That congregation ought to have been
proud Of their plucky preacher. Not
every gospel minister would be will
ing to make SO great sacrifice in Or
der to preach his message ON the Lords
day.
How the gentle Christ would have
scourged the naked souls Of those syn
agogue officials!
He who saw at a glance the mean
ness in mems hearts would have told
them, as he told the pharisaic hypo-
critics Of twenty centuries ago. that
they were whted sepulchers-clean on
the outside, but inwardly filed with
dead mems bones.
And in the Judgment
Who would not rather be in the shoes
of the poor. patient preacher than in
those Of his pious prosecutors?

coats, can be bought for SIS or $50.
This means being machine sewed and
plain when if the mother can sew and
has plenty of time she will find it
pretty work to do by hand, and when
finished the garments will be daintier.
Overelaborate clothes for infants are a
mistake. no matter how much money
one has. The daintiest things are made
from sheer. plain materials with the
narrowest of headings and the tiny
lace edges of fine quality. Embroider
les and cheap aces are to be avoided.
The most serviceable way of finishing
the bottoms of the dresses is with
broad hens and feather or hem stitch
ing. 1t must not be forgotten that the
list just given provides for the small
est quantity with which the baby can
be kept clean. Perfect cleanliness is
essential in every respect. and the
more changes there are for the little
one the better.

WORK OF PROVIDING AN OUTLET FOR
GREAT SEWER STILL HANGS FIRE

The contract for providing an outlet
for the intercepting sewer was let to
the Campbell Building company on
April IS.
The company was ordered to start
work by the board of public works on
April Is.
As yet hardly a spadefull of earth
has been turned. and the only work
done has been little scraping in the
neighborhood of the pumping station
at Eighth West and Eighth North
streets.
According to the terms of the con-
tract the work was to be completed in
ninety days. This would mean that it
must be done by July 10. AT the pres
ent rate of progress ii cannot be fin
ished before Sept. l at the earliest.
An examination of the contract
shows that the portion in which the
bid is incorporated has never been
signed by a representative of the
company, although the contract
proper, which contains no reference
TO the price TO be paid. has been
signed.
say that the bid is Incorporated in the
contract, and its signing is a mere for
mality as the original bid submitted
To the board when the contract was
let is signed in proper form and on file.
An examination Of a large number of
other contracts let this year shows

sewer work has been one of the land
marks of the present American" ad-
minstratiOn. While the sewer was
building no attempt was made by the
board of works to plan an outlet.
After the five miles of concrete had
been laid in the earth and ready for
use the board finally woke up to the
fact that an outlet was needed.
The engineer proposed that the
sewer be connected with the gravity
sewer on Third West street, and 1880
feet distant from its terminus at
Eighth West and Eighth North
streets by pipe line TO run along
Eighth North street. Because of the
difference i'm the grade a pumping sta
ton was necessary TO pump the sew
erage through the $500 feet of pipe
and also elevate il twenty-eight feet
to the grade of the gravity service.
The contract for the pumps was let
and then the board forgot about the
pipe line. 1t received bids for that
work on Jan. 8. but did not award the
contract until April -.
Now the work is being still further
delayed by the failure of the company
to start work, and the board does not
seem inclined TO hasten them. In the
meanwhile the sewer is idle, and prob
ably will be so for nearly a year.
Another hitch in the program of con-
structing the outlet has occurred i'm
the installation of the pumps. Tie
salt Lake Hardware company grabbed
this contract and also offered to COM
plete the cement work at the pumping
station This has scarcely been
touched. and there is no indication of
the arrival of any pumps.

DEATH SENTENCE
IS CONFIRMED
COWardIy MexiCanS Who Slew
George Ross of This City
Will Be Executed.
THREE ARE TO PAY PENALTY
STORY OF CRIME AS RELATED
IN MEXICAN HERALD.

The shocking murder of George
Rose, a well-known mining man of
this city, in GuanajuatO. Mexico. is
~recalled by the confirming of the death
sentence pronounced upon the three
MeXicans who slew him. The crime
was one of the most brutal in the re-
cords of criminOlOgy of the republic
and attracted widespread attention,
not only in the locality where it was
committed. but as we'll in the United
States.
The body OF Mr.. Rose, after much
difficulty and delay. was brought TO
Salt Lake, where the funeral took
place. The widow accompanied the
body from Mexico. The story Of
the awful tragedy is we'll told in a
concise account published in the Mex
lean Herald. The account says:
The murderers of the late George
Rose have been sentenced to pay the
death penalty by the court of last ap-
peal in this state. The names of the
assassins are Cirilo Rico. Esteban
Rangel and Julio NietO. Their lawyer
may make an appeal during the inte-
rim allowed by law. but this is not ex-
pected.
THE case is still fresh i'm the minds
of the people of Guanajuato. Mr.
Rose was murdered by burglars who
entered his house i'm the early morn
ing Of Sept. II. 1907.
THE details of the crime are per-
haps more CHASTITY than those of any
similar murder in Mexican criminal
history. The three men entered the
house occupied by Mr.. Rose, who was
one of the best known mining men
in the republic, apparently believing
that he had gone to the Nyal mill,
as had been his weekly custom. Nh
Rose was also preparing To move his
effects OF the Pinguleo mill. of which
he had not long before been appointed
superintendent.
Mrs. Rose aWOke while the bur-
glars were in the room, and they see
ing themselves discovered, rushed for
the bed in which Mr. and Mrs. Rose
lay and fell upon her with dagger
and machete. Mr.. Rose awoke and i'm
mediately attacked the three men

left, his hands were nearly severed
from his arms, and ne was almost
completely disembOweled. His wife

and has since returned 10 the United

Bond Doesn't Cover Time Limit.

The company is bonded for $4,000 to
complete the work as specified and
within ninety days.
The ninety-day provision is, how
ever, in the company's proposal which
is not signed Nothing is said of il in
the contract proper.
To the whole document is attached
the bond which refers only to the
contract proper by its very terms. Fol-
this reason it appears that the COM
pany may take its own sweet time
aboug doing the work.
The bond says that the company, as
principal. and the Utah Savings &
Trust company as surety, shall be
firmly bound in case default is made
in the conditions that follow"
Then the fact of the entering into
of the contract is cited. and it is fur
Their stated that the principal agrees
TO build this outlet pipe and to pay
all labOreTs. and if he does not do so
the bond will indemnify the city. That
is about all there is to the bond. if it
can be called one.
