CACHE STAKE CONFERENCE.

LOGAN, Jan. 2-The regular quarter
ly conference of the Cache stake began
this morning. The attendance was very
good for the opening day. The entire

tory. The report showed that there are

try OF the people OF the colony has ex
cited the admiration of their neighbors.
and a very kindly feeling Is entertain
cd for them. People were surprised last
year when the saints produced good
crops and their neishbors had very poor
ones. The saints there are comparative
ly poor but they are truly southern In
their hospitality and by their upright
habits and honest methods are winning
the favor of those who formerly dis
dained them.

An Idol With Diamond Eyes.

1t is curious fact and one scarcely
known outside of Russia, and there
hardly ever mentioned. that the ia
nous Orion diamond was once the
right eye of the great idol Serringham
in the temple of Brahma. This pre-
cious gem was stolen at about the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century by a
French soldier who had made pre-
tense of being converted to the Hindoo
religion in order to gain the confidence
Of the priests and admission to the
temple. The Frenchman first sold the
diamond for $1,000 On the next turn
it was bought by a banker Of Con-
stantinople for $4,000. The banker
kept it until 1I14 and then sold it to
the Russian empress for $4,000 and
life pension. The gem has been in
the Russion royal family ever since
AS it is now set in the imperial scepter
of Russia it presents a fiattened rose

WHERE SPRING is TO BE FOUND

For the first signs of spring seek the
vacant lot in a thickly settled district.
The time-just after school is out.
Amid the rusting tin-cans. the broken
buckets and discarded shoes, the small
boys proclaim spring with shout and
din which leaves no question as to the
seasons arrival, though it might raise
doubts as to its "etheral mildness"
Baseball upon the vacant lots Is a
game of dark. impenetrable mystery.
The rules are the rules of the strongest
an dthe overbearing. They vary with
the moment and the loudly advocated
canon of the first inning is shamelessly
repudiated in the second. The game
progresses to the tune of protest and
youthful substitutes for profanity. It's
beginning is in chaos. It's ending is in
confusion. Yet between beginning and
ending wonderful scores are compiled
boastings are bred, feuds are formed
and lungs and legs are made to hunger
for the solace of the bed.

nature. many Of the leading newspa-
pers going so far as to state that Fer
Don's experts cured thousands of peo-
pie whom other doctors had given up
to die. The consequence is that peo-
pc f1ocked to these experts by thous

garded as fictitious in Walla Walla,
and until Fer-Don actually reached the

they began giving their treatments

actually cured many of Walla Wa'1a's

and addresses have been published in
