The Dead Mans Hand.

Charms as cures for sickness were
common il England century ago.
Lady Wake, who was born in 1900,
tells Of grewsoLle cure adopted for
the removal of some birthmarks which
disfigured her face. Her mother was
persuaded that "a dead mans hand
laid upon my cheek and hands would
cffectually remove the marks" she
writes. "As man could not be killed
for the occasion, it was necessary to
wait till some one died. An old man
at last did die In one of the nearest
cottages, and l was taken there in my
sleep. I remember afterward being
constantly stopped by the widow. who
always examined my cheek in order to
ascertain the state Of her husbands
body, as the marks. she told my nurse.
would certainly fade away as he turn
ed into dust. Whatever the cause Of
the cure, the marks in time disap-
peared."

Hair Monstrosities,

French theater managers in the
eighteenth century had worse evils
than picture hats to contend against.
Marie Antoinette. who was short. even
according to French standards. set the
fashion Of high coiffures and ultra
fashionable women prided themselves
on measuring four feet from their
chins to the tops of their heads. These
structures took about six hours to
erect, the hairdresser mounting a lad
der In the process. Some coiffures
were almost as broad as they were
long, with wings sticking out about
eight inches on each side of the head.
For the "frigate" couture the hair was
rippled in a huge pile to represent
the waves of an angry sea and sur
mounted by fully rugged ship. AS a
consequence of these monstrosities.
disturbances in theaters occurred al
most daily until an ordinance was is
sued against the admission of women
with high coiffures to the floor of the
house.

THE OIL WELL SHOOTER.
Sometimes Blown Into Eternity With

His Own Ammunition.
In certain of the petroleum produc-
Ing districts it becomes necessary some
times in opening an oil well-sometimcs
when the well has become clogged or
apparently exhausted-to begin or re-
new the flow by exploding nitroglyc.
erin at the bottom of the well. This
explosive is employed because it is ex.
plodes readily by the dropping of u
weight upon il. A man who carries
nitroglycerin from well to well fO his
purpose is known In the oil regions as
shooter
The shooter has a wagon in which to
carry his explosive. a square box un
der the seat is carefully padded, and
when 1T has been solidly filed with
cans of nitroglycerin. which is mo

The shooter generally takes from
80 to 24O quarts Of nitroglycerin in
his wagon. The smaller amount Is
quite enough If it should explode &c
leave no trace Of the driver Of the

When the shooter reaches the well

WHAT OF ITS DANTE REPoRT2

Why is il that we have heard moth
lne from lac Dcseret News concerning
the promise that it made months ago
to investigated the 'fDanite question,
and report it's findings to the public?
From the best information at hand,
VIC are justified in replying for the
News, that it found such condition of
facts that it was afraid to report them.
1t discovered that the testimony, both
of living witnesses and in written doe
uments, was SO overwhelming on the
side Of The Tribune that it found that
discretionary silence would be good
substitute for its former pretended
yalor. The facts are that the testimony
of David Whitmer, and others who
were victims of the murderous gang or
ganized by Joseph and Hyrum Smith
and Sidney Rigdon, was found by the
News to be too strong to be overcome
by its own weakling denials. David
Whitmer, who was one of the H6rst
three witnesses to the divinity of the
Book Of Mormon Gas you will hear any
Mormon Clearing testimony" describe
him today was compelled to flee for his
life because of the threats against him
by the banditti organized under the di-
rection of the first presidency of the
Mormon church at Far West, Missouri.

name of the Lord.

however, to learn tho Deseret News e
side of the story. since it promised,
months ago, to reveal the results of the
investigation which it then bargained to

cious and uncalled-f for attacks made by
the Governor, the Federal bunch, the
Smoot organ, the Deseret News, and
the subsidized elders, upon the Ameri-
can administration Of this city, we have
another proof TO present Of the change
of tune employed by all the vicious
agencies of the hierarchy to meet ''the
need of the hour, as they call it. In
the year 1908 Salt Lake City was un-
der the control of Mormon church
directed administration. On December
10Th of that year the Deseret News
published an editorial article, from
which we make the following extracts:
IL is conceded that there is great deal
of crime and vice In Salt Lake City.
There have been several cases OF violence
and homicide, OF burglary and street rob-
berry, and OF those unsavory deeds that
are classed among the social evils Of the
age Are the police officers of the city
responsible for them? Are they negl-
gent. indifferent and culpable as is made
TO appear In this connection? We think
not. And we do not believe it is in the
public interest TO exagserate. the wrongs.
or unfairly accuse public servants II they
are endeavoring diligently to discharge
their duty.
As to the protection demanded for min
ers and transients who visit our city. and
who choose to go into its worst Quarters
and drain the cup of vice and folly.
Whose fault Is II If they reap the fruit
of their own sowing and fall into the
grasp of tho criminal, elements2 They

the giddy whrl OF the underworld. and

quences Is IL 10 be expected that stran-
gers who come to town are to be followed
around by the police and cautioned by
them as to places and people under sus-
picion. or guided when they may he COM

conditions in this city. and the charges

for police service. are likely TO do more
harm than good: They give this city
