The question Hof secession from the

county schools is still in the balance,
although 1t has not been resting in

gates from Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda have been in number of
secret sessions in which the drawing

definite has been done. The Academic
league intends to take the initiative
in settling the matter at a meeting
Friday night. The leagues attitude
has been conciliatory. but 1t is becom-
ing irritated over the frequent rebel
lious outbreaks on the part Of the
Alameda county schools.
The Alameda high school had a try

This particular building is regular

a china and glass shop, where they
also sell mirrors. On the second floor
is a chiropodist's shop, costume
maker, a face powder concern and a
''parlor' for obesity treatment
On the third floor is concern which
gives the vibrator treatment, and an
other concern which removes wrinkles,
an export and import company which
furnishes the latest in fashionable tog-
gerry and an ostrich feather company
takes up the top floor.
Every one of these places was
crowded. The obesity shop was TAX

sylphs out of 44-inch forms.

first discovered the fire. He saw big
clouds of smoke pouring up from the
basement.

ing from blow on his head inflicted
by his brother. Marshal Bickers of
Munday.
The evidence seemed so clear and
accurate that Marshal Bickers was
actually arrested and confined in the
Jail at Munday. only being released on
a S5 900 bond. Miss Peak. the unsus-
pec.ing notary public at the office of
Redwine and Bonesteel, accepted the
affidavits and listened to the doctors
story. He was a young physician who
had been on hand on the train at the
death of Bickers; the wounded man
had told him of his fight with his
brother In which he had been NOR
tally wounded. He had left home sud
denly. swearing never to return again.
The true story appears to be that the
brothers had quarreled over a gamb-
ling debt of James.
Their father had recently sold his
farm in Kentucky and joined the boys
in Munday The boys were different
in every way. one being upright and
honorable, holding the office of mar
shall in the town: the other being a
dissipated gambler. One night the
younger brother. James. gambled uD-
til he lost a large amount of money,
so he appealed to his father for aid.
But he would not give him the re-
quired amount of money because he
had been forewarned of his younger
sons reputation through the elder
brother.
This enraged the boy so that he
sought out his brother and com.

Almost the first thing the visitor
does upon reaching Salt Lake City is
TO visit the Temple. which stands
within sight and sound of the business
center Work began on the Temple
with the first beat of the city's heart
and continued unremittingly for 40
years. 1t cost over s4,00O.0O0 and is
one of the notable buildings of the
continent. 1t stands upon an enh-
nance and towers above all surround
against the sky line before any other
sign of the city can be seen. Its ex-
terror is craven with the curious sym.
bols of the Mormon creed. and its
loftiest spire is surmounted, fully 215
feet above the earth, by the golden
figure of Moroni, the angel who re.
vealed the religion of the Latter Day
Saints to Joseph Smith.
The interior of the Temple is
sacred; none but those of the faith
are ever admitted through its iron
doors. Within 1t are celebrated mar
riage and baptismal rites, and many
are the mysteries its granite walls
conceal.
Within the high wall that surrounds
the Temple stands also the great tur.
tle.shaped Tabernacle, the general as.
sembly hall of the Saints. This build.
ing, in which the business meetings of
the Grand Army OF the Republic will
be held, is one of the most curious
structures in America. 1t is an i'm

and seats 5000 people. 1t is $50 feet
long by $50 feet wide and 80 feet in
height. It's self-supporting wooden
roof rests upon pillars or buttresses
OF red sandstone. which stand 10 to IL
feet apart In the whole circumference
of the building. The pillars support
wooden arches ten feet In thickness
and spanning $50 feet. These arches
are put together with wooden pins,
there being no nails nor iron Of any
kind used In the framework. This is
due to the fact that when the build.

were no railroads across the plains,
