HYMEN AND FINANCE.
Love Match in Austrian Colony Ad-
Indicated by Judge Ritchie.

Joseph Giesler, miner, who lives
In Bingham, paid s35 for a wife
Friday afternoon despite the fact
that Louis Pertecko, another miner.
offered 500 for her. Love found a
way around this perplexing situation
when Giesler agreed to pay John
Ovnik, a brother-in-law of Miss
Agnes Rusman, the amount that he
had advanced to Miss Rusman TO OBJ
tain her passage to America last
August.
Agnes Rusman, who is a young and
pretty Austrian. had only been here
a few days when she met Louis Per-
tecko. miner at her brother-in-
laws house. Pertecko fell in love
with the young girl. who is not quite
j years of age. the age of consent.
She did not care for him but Ovnik de-
clared that she was to marry him
because he had promised to pay him
500 for bringing her over to this
country At the same time Ovnik
wanted the girl to do his house
work for his wife to work out her
passage which he had advanced to
her. Miss Rusman worked for her
brother-in-law until December when
she ran away from the house because
he would not give her any new
clothes. she ran away on the advice
of Giesler with whom she had fallen
in love, and wanted to marry. Ovnik
was opposed to their marriage and
that caused all the trouble because
he would not give his consent
Giesler told his troubles to Dan
Radovick. who has lived In Bingham

MRS. HARRIS RECEIVES
DEEDS OF RESIDENCE
Commercial Club Committee Waits on
Widow of Secretary and Makes
Presentation Speech.

A composite Santa Claus appeared at
the home of Mrs. Fisher Harris this
afternoon at 1 o'clock, holding in his
fur clad hand piece of paper which
had on 1t hieroglyphics noting the fact
that q certain property located at pa
south Thirteenth East had become the
personal belonging OF the widow of the
late secretary of the Commercial club.
This wondrous Christmas visitor was
perSonified In the persons of A. w.
Carlson, John Dern, Ira H. Lewis, w
]. Halloran, and Joseph E. Caine. The
first three named were the finance
committee. the others the president
and secretary respectively OF the Com
mercial club
The present which they tucked away
into the Harris home stocking was the
residence where Mr.. Harris spent many
happy years, where many OF the prof.
ects which meant so much to Salt
Lake were conceived, home which
would have been resigned with many
tears by the little family IL it had not
been for the visit of that composite
Santa Claus this morning. And that
furred gentleman represented not only
the Commercial club, but hundreds of
that the life of toll spent by the late
secretary of the Commercial club in
behalf of Salt Lake and the contiguous
country without thought OF material
reward was we'll worthy of grateful
recognition.

of paper with tears and Mr.. Halloran.

UTAH PUM|CE STONE
D|SPLACES ITALIAN
First Carload Shipment to Omaha
Packing Company Starts Next
Month From Black Rock.

Early in January. 1910. the first car
load shipment OF pumice stone since 1895
will bo sent from Black Rock. Utah. TO
the Cudahy Packing company. Omaha.
On that date the new freight rate on
pumIce stone of IS ton will go into ef-
feet The rate is already on nlc with
the Interstate commerce commission, be-
ing granted at the request of represen-
tatives of the big packing company,
which will use Utah pumice In the fu-
ture instead OF that which comes from
tho slopes of Vesuvius. Italy.
1t is stated that the supply In Utah
Is sufficient to supply the markets of
the world. About six months ago an
agent of the packing company was sent
to Utah to investigate reports OF de-
posits of pumico stone. He made tho
trip to Black Rock and examined some
old pits from which shipments of small
quantities had been made some 10 or
20 years ago, Samples aggrcgatIng more
than a ton were picked out and sent TO
Omaha and Chicago. where exhaustive
chemical and practical tests were made
These tests demonstrated that the old
volcanoes of Utah melted up as fine a
grade of rock as Vesuvius ever COM
pounded.

RAISE LIMIT TO

Membership Infant at CONNER
ciaI Club Develops vora-
cious Appetite
MANY APPLICATIONS FILED.
Initiation Fee to be Raised After First
or New Year and Bulletin
Board Is Covered.

| The membership infant which was
weeks ago has developed into bowling
and voracIous kid whose appetite is
something tremendous. 1t is being fed
by Secy. Joe Caine. who seems to be a
past master in the matter of dietetics
The voracious youngstcr has chewed
and digested almost 400 names in three
weeks. and is bowling for more. The
secretary, who placed the growth of
the infant at 1,200, has realized that he
IS going to be a giant and has raised
the bar to the 1,500 notch, which Is eX-
pected to be reached by June of the
year which is approaching
When the campaign for new men,
bers was inaugurated but a. short time
ago the call went forth that the list was
to be 1000. Then there was to be a
stop made. But the Commercial club
did not know just how good 1t was and
a howl went forth when the threatened
foreclosure was mentioned. Secy. Caino
got on his thinking cap and, after a
conference with a few congenial spirits,
boosted the mark to Zoo That has al
most been reached and still they are
coming. Now the word goes forth that
1,500 Is to be the limit in number and
June the date.
There is going to be n terrible bunch
of applications during the last week in
the year. for the advent of 1910 VIII
bring with it boost OF the initiation
fee from $50 to 800. This has been de-
tcrmined upon and all OF the members
of the club are patching the bulletin
board with the names OF friends and
business associates in order to save
them the difference. The near compile
tion of the new club building is having
n marked effect on the membership
campaign. and the new secretary. Jo-
seph Edward Caine. is developing day
by day unsuspected traits in the boost
