cups 1t is not believed any hardship
will be worked on the railroad COM
panies, nor on the travelling public
either, in view of the common report
that has become quite the practice
to carry things to drink from since
SO many Idaho counties have gone
dry.
Objections may possibly come
from the w. c. T. u, and similar or
CARNATIONS that have installed drink
ing cups on fountains attached on
the theory that their availability will
tend to diminish drinking in saloons
especially in the summer. These
may contend that the state cannot
cause removal of one agency for the
public good on the plea of improve
ment in other directions.

PUBLIC DRINKING CUPS
TABOOED

Statesman. When one packs hi!
grip for trip in Idaho he should mo-
overlook the pyramid. of those Grim
ped paper cups. He will require
them II he drinks water on the train
and few drink anything else. THE
paper cup Is handy after one learns
how to unreel 1t and to balance II
when filed. OF course any Other
individual cup will do, but the pub.
lie drinking cup is barred. The Ida.
no board OF health has placed Its
ban upon it.
The cup that cheers but does not
inebriate at public fountains is also
prohibited by the same high author
ity, but the decree is not laid upon
the cupless fountain from which the
thirsty passerby gurgles his draughts
of pure water somewhat on the order
OF man drinking out of nozzle.
The action of the board was taken
yesterday at a meeting had in the
capital annex.
Probably the most sweeping and
drastic action which has yet been
taken by the board was an order de-
signed to compel the adjustment of
cups at public drinking fountains
and the use of the public drinking
cup in railway cars. The board has
lately been giving careful investiga-
ton to the sanitary condition of
these devices and has come to the
conclusion that the safeguarding of
the public health demands the ac-
ton which they have taken.
It Is expected the railroads will in
terpose no objections to the order of
the board respecting public drinking

Akish seeks her father out, and
asks for her hand in marriage, ac-
cording to the prearranged plans,
he is told that he may have the fair
one on one condition, a condition
Akish is eager to learn, and Is. as
founded when he is told he must
bring the head of his old friend the
king. He shrinks in horror at the
awful condition, but is dazzled by
the beauty of Zalmona, who just at
this moment smiles bewitchingly up
on him and he accepts the PROPOSE
ton of Jared for his daughters hand.
Akish at once becomes the leader
Of a powerful secret organization,
and undertakes the task imposed up
on him by the wiles of beauty.
King Omer. attended by his love-
ly daughter, is aroused from his
slumber in the royal palace just after
the departure Of her lover. One Of
the sons of the aged king takes pre-
caution for the safety OF their mons
arch by strengthening the guard and!
taking personal charge OF the same,
but Akish, with his band, over pow
ers the guard and captures the royal
party at the time of their intended
fight. ,,e !,
, N
Akish having been the means of
placing Jared on the throne thinks
himself capable Of becoming king.
He says: IF can make him king.
can unmake him and seat myself
rpon the throne at will" BY the aid
OF his powerful band he accomplishes
his ambition after having slain King
Jared. Having become king, Akish
tires Of Zalmona, who scorns him as
her fathers murderer. Being thus
scorned by her who had lured him
from the path of honor he turns to-
ward the purity and longs for the
love of Omer's lovely daughter, An
geline, whom he holds prisoner in
the palace. He seeks her chamber,
and endeavors to win her for his
own. She, however, scorns his foul
proposal and reminds him of the
guilty past He pleads with her and
offers to share the crown with her,
but all to no purpose. She is deter
mined to retain her purity and calls
upon heaven for assistance. Akish
not to be baffled, seizes her in an at
tempt to overcome her when her low
or, the courageous Shemlon, appears
upon the scene, the gates of the pal
ace having been unbarred for him
by Zalmona, with the result that
Shemlon engages Akish in a terrible
duel, ending with Akish being forced
over the balcony to his death. At
this juncture the aged King Omer is
escorted into the palace by his sons
and attendants and proclaimed king
amid the plaudits of welcome from
his followers.
The scenery is original and has
been painted especially for the play.
The Hill Cumorah, which was known
to the Jaredites as Ramah, is a paint
ing that is attracting wide spread in
terest. The other scenes of the Ban
Quet Hall and the Throne Room in
the palace are especially fine and well
designed to portray to advantage the
strong climaxes of this wonderful
play. ;, ..e..s,,

KING JARED
The Great Book of Mormon Play
Coming in December


Great care and deliberation has
been taken In the selection of actors
and actresses to essay the romantic
roles of the sturdy Jaredites. No de-
tail, no matter how small, within
the power of the management, has
been overlooked in giving the public
an acceptable cast, elaborate scenery,
and beautiful costumes.
A brief sketch of the Jaredite ma
ton will give one a good idea of the
great possibilities for the construction
OF an interesting and romantic play
by employing the great essential feat
ures of love. hatred, scorn, jealousy
and greed, contained in the story Of
the Jaredites.
The play deals with the Jaredite
nation who lived in North America
and especially in the eastern part Of
the United States, and who accord
ing to the accounts given Of them in
the Book of Mormon, were one Of the
greatest nations of antiquity. In fact,
the prophet says: ''No mightier ma
ton ever lived on the earth"
The play begins with the period
in the history of the Jared;t, peo-
pie when they were ruled over by
kings, which was contrary to the
counsel among them. With them the
youngest son inherited the crown
from his father, instead of the oldest.
This fact seemed to have aroused the
anger of Jared, the Oldest son of
Omer, and he rebelled against his
father and obtained the kingdom
from the aged monarch, whom he
held in captivity until the younger
sons had grown to manhood, when
they gave battle to their tyrant
brother and obtained the kingdom
back again to their father, the aged
monarch This battle was fought all
night long, and the play opens with
this battle still raging in the back
ground at early dawn, showing the
Hill Cumorah around which they are
fighting.
After Jared is defeated, his life
being spared through the interces-
sion of his father, he became very
sorrowful because of the loss of his
kingdom. His daughter observing
her fathers sadness, devises
scheme showing how the kingdom
can be regained through the aid Of
the secret orders, then common
among the people. The daughter of
Jared is most beautiful young
woman, fascinating, artful and very
shrewd. Her plan, which Is accept
ed by her father, Is to win by her
beauty and cunning the heart of Ak
ish. friend and counsellor to the
old king 0mer, accordingly a sump-
tuous banquet Is prepared at which
Akish is a guest of honor. The
daughter Of Jared, whose beauty Is
enhanced by her jewels and dress,
completely captivates the heart of
Akish as she dances before the mer-
ry throng at the banquet hall. When
