BOYS DOG is EXECUTED.
"Wags" Shot Because He Bit Man
Who Slapped NeWsboy.

Ways is dead. His devotion to his
newsboy friends cost him his life. A bull
let from a policeman's revolver ended his
career in the stOckade at the police sta
ton yesterday morning after the court
had determined that he must die
Up TO a short time ago Ways" was an
ordinary tramp dog. He was fairly large
with a beautiful coat of long black hair
The 'newsies" soon learned that Ways
was fond of their company, and he was
Immediately adopted as belonging tOthem
Not to one. but to all. and they in turn
cared for him and saw that he did not
want for something to eat.
A few days ago a crowd of the news
boys were at the depot waiting for the
arrival of the papers from Salt Lake.
the little fellows began playing about the
waiting room. o. j. Gutke, one of the
passenger directors under Depot Master
Cunningham. said something to them, bu;
thinking he was joking they paid but lit
tie attention. Presently one of the lads
ran into him. This anGered Gutke to sucr
an extent that he wheeled around and
dealt the boy slap on the head
This was Ways" chance to show his
loyalty TO his benefactors. Like a flash
he sprang al Gutke. sinking his teeth deer
into the fleshy part of the officials leg
The dog then hurried to where the lad
was weeping and began licking his hand
as if TO console him. The little fellow
soon dried his tears and with his arm
around Ways" neck. took his bundle
of papers and started off up the street
Gutke complained to the police immedi-
ately after the incident. and big pO-
liceman was sent out to find Ways. y

entirely too lax. Councilman c. ]. Humph-
ris asked the council at last nights

handle this business in the future. His
request was granted, and committee con-
sisting of Councilman HumphriS, Dana

Bids were received for the construction
of a central heating plant to be located
on the public square to supply heat for
the city building were received and
son was sS.4S3.5O and that of a. w. Meek

ell on account of the financial condition
of the city. This means that the propo-
sition will be indefinitely delayed.
The police committee recommended that
the application of the city jailer for l21a
cents q meal furnished prisoners be not
adopted. On recommendation of the city
engineer Quincy avenue between Thirty
first and Thirtv-second street. was or
dered opened. This street was decided TO
the city some time ago. but has been al

ell. stating that he had put in a cross
walk at Twenty-eighth street and Wash

CLOYD is NOT SATISFIED.
High School Principal Has Session
With CITY Superintendent.

Professor d. E. Cloyd, former principal
of the high school, is determined to CON
tinue the controversy with the board Of
education over his recent sudden dismiss
sal. Members of the board say the Incl
dent is now closed.
Mr. Cloyd came back to town Saturday.
He had a breezy interview with Super
intendent William Allison yesterday. 1t
is understood that plain talk passed be-
tween the two men and that Mr%ClOyd
was advised the best thing to do would be
to accept the matter as definitely settled.
He is said to have also been told that if
1t was his desire to go farther with the
controversy ne might expect to receive
equally as good as he gave
If Mr.. Cloyd determines TO carry the
matter farther. il will likely be upon the
ground that the action of the board was
illegal on account CT the participation OF
a certain member not living in the ward
from which he was elected. This is con-
sidered a mere technicality. however. and
il is asserted that the members of the
board stand ready to take up the ques-
ton again If need be and fix il so that
there can be no doubt as to its legality.
In the meantime the members of the
board of education have taken up the
matter of selecting Mr.. Cloyd's successor,
and are now in communication with three
different men, one of whom will be chosen
at an early date.

SCOWCROFT WILL
BUY THE PLANT
Big Business Man Would Like
to Have City'S Opportunity
to Get WaterWorks.

Soseph Scowcroft made the statement
yesterday that his company is ready to
purchase the Ogden waterworks If the
city fails TO buy. He considers the prop
osition at the price named for the city a
good investment-one that will yield big
returns and grow in value He said
IF Ogden City should turn down the
proposition to purchase the plant of the
ogden Waterworks company and that
company will entertain an offer from "a
private concern, il will have no trouble
10 dispose of its plant to the John Scow-
croft d Sons company at the price men
toned. l make this statement because
feel that at the price this would be a
good investment, one that would yield
large returns on the money invested and
one that would increase in value with the
growth of the city.
Il am most certainly in favor of the
purchase of this plant by the city. i have
been in favor of it three different times.
and each time at an increased price. Six
years ago the city could have made the
purchase for more than 100000 less than
the present price; six years hence the
price will be at least 100000 more than 1t
is now, If the property can be bought at
all at that time. The city has made a
mistake every time il has failed to pur-
chase; ii will make a mistake If it fails
to purchase this time.
Everything in ogden has increased in
value, the waterwOrks in common with all
other property. The company has much
better franchise than ever before; all lit
igation has been disposed of, and the city
has grown materially. Whether the plant
has deteriorated or not, the purchase by
the city at this time is a wise move. All
past differ noes should now be forgotten,
and the matter should be looked upon
from a. purely business standpoint.
After the city makes the purchase
the waterworks system should be placed
under the control of commission and

the matter out of politics."

We cook our wheat in pure Vermont maple
syrup, to make this perfect food enticing.
To make children like it better than fad foods
better than foods not half so good for them.
Once let them taste Mapl-Flake and they
will never again be content with inferior cereal
foods.
Whole wheat is the ideal food for hot weather.
1t is the food of the ages. Nothing can take its
place.
1t gives the maximum nourishment while pro-
ducing the minimum heat. In summer, wheat
should largely take the place of meat.
But wheat must be prepared rightly, else
much of it fails to digest. The particles must
be separated by cooking and heat, so the diges-
tive juices can get to them.
So we steam-cook our wheat for six hours.
Then cure it for days-a partial digestive
process.
Then each separate berry is faxed so thin that
the full heat of our ovens attack every atom.
Then those thin flakes are toasted 80 minutes
in heat of 400 degrees.
Flaked foods can be made in one-fourth of
this time. The making cost is less, but the cost
to you is more.
For half-cooIed food only half dgests. The
other half goes to waste. 1t ferments and dis
'urbs digestion.

The church is the foundation OF

The Pilgrims brought all these TO
our shores.
The church is the foundation OF
our morality. On the frontiers OF
our land it has ever held high the
principles OF purity and integrity OF
life. The churchless community Is
always an immoral community.
The church is The foundation Of
all education that is true. From
Harvard college down it has built
our schools. and our great public
system of education owes its eXis-
tence and continuance to the church
which has ever promoted an edu-
cation for every citizen.
The church is the foundation OF
brotherhood, the inspiration OF all
fraternity. the band OF human unity,
the exponent of human equality, the
promoter of cooperation. the express
ion OF that Christian socialism which
is rapidly permeating all society.
The church is the foundation Of
patriotism. II breaches loyalty to
truth and liberty. IL has furnished
our great national leaders. 1t has
had its part in our wars for they
have been holy wars.
All these traditional virtues the
Church has given to us. And these
are the basis OF our greatness. The
Church always stands for that which
is best in community and so in the
nation. In spite OF her manifest and
manifold failings she is the embo-
diment of the noblest qualities which
our nation possesses. She fights the
battles of righteousness; she sends
her sons to purify the streams OF
national activity. She lifts up the
banner OF truth and declares the
message of God. She warns and
pleads and struggles that men may
be kept true to the principles OF
righteousness and abiding greatness.
Today she is lifting up her voice in
protest against insidious evils which
threaten the nations life. She pleads
with her members to keep them
selves unspotted from the worldli-
ness which crowds them hard. She
warns all citizens that they may not
depart from the essential traditions |
OF our fathers without danger.
1t would be easy to enumerate the |
dangers which threaten us. against |
which the church opposes herself |
