SAME FIXTURES
FOR LEGISLATURE
---------- ----
This Refers to Furniture and Not
To Occupants Of Seats,
However.
PREPARING FOR SESSION
Busting Up the Benches and Desks
Prior to Opening of Ninth As
scnlbly Next Month.

Nothing will be new in connection
with the ninth assembly of the Utah
Legisluture-thati is, nothing in the way
Of furniture and fixtures. Doubtless
there are those among the sOlons who
would be pleased to come under the lat
ter classification, but counties have II
peculiar way of not allowing thcir Off
Gals to become fixtures. certain OF
them have sought to change the gen
cral appearance OF the assembly ard
have designated new faces TO appear
for them at the senatorial desks and
those in the house of representatives,
just by way OF reminding the outgoing
officials that there are others.
Secretary of State Charles s. TinScy,
is beginning initial preparations for the
convention of the session. 1t devolves
upon this official to attend to the de-
tails, such as supervising the prcpira-
tons of the legislative halls. The city
council chamber in the city and county
building will be transformed into II SEN
ate chamber and the house will con-
vcnc in the northeast room Of the
fourth floor Of that building. The fur
niture for the house Is in storage ana
will be brought aut and busted off after
having been packed away for nearly
two years.
! ne contract lDl tiltSt Ibplill N'l9
made between the city and the state
several weeks ago. For use OF the
city's chambers, the state pays $l,20o.
This figure is based upon 6o-day scs-
sion. For each day of thu session over
the 60. an extra $50 is cNitctcd.
Ae the close of the last session 1t was
suggested that new furniture might be
more in keeping with the dignity of the
state but this idea WIS abandoned when
. ti.N,, af ny, on f,l N
mediate future was talked Of, While
some such move is probable within the
next few years, it Is not expected that
action will be taken looking toward
the occupancy of Capitol Hin for some
time to come Tho experiences of other
states prevailing. a decade will elapse
even after the excavation work is be-
gun, before the building can be occu-
pied However, it Is not impossible for
Utah to set Il new pace for other states
in this matter as she has done in
others

ON THIN ICE.

Action on this question means much
to the actor. 1t means Il world of
credit from certain sources and an
equal amount OF blame from others
When 1t comes up, it will involve the
proposition of either leaving the mat
ter of liquor licenses as 1t now Is, or
reducing the number of licenses ma
terially. The former action will bring
down upon the heads of the council
should that body see fit to let the mat
ter rest as at present. the Vituperatio
of the church element of all denomina-
tions. The ministerial alliance has
been calling for reformatory action for
months. On the other hand, reduc-
ton of licenses means n reduction of
revenue. which would be deprecated by
the strictly business element And u
compromise is impossible.
Other than this one proposition, the
schedule for tonights meet looks like a
dark house.

Last Member Of lions Camp

ONE OF OLDEST IN CHURCH
Veteran Dies ut the Homo of Ills Son
At Ripe Age of 05
Ycnrs.

Nathan Tanner. sr., 95 years old, only
surviving member of lions Camp and
perhaps the oldest living member of
the Church. died at the residence Of
his son, Stewart Tanner. in Granger,
Salt Lake county, Saturday night. Of
paralysis and general debility. About
three months ago he suffered par
nlytic stroke, which at his advanced
age told upon him. and while he was
helpless bodily, his mind remained
clear i'm to the end and he suffered
but little pain.
Ever since the memorable journey
from Kirkland. Ohio. to Independence,
Mo-, made In the year 1884, by that de-
voted band known as lions Camp of
which Nathan Tanner was Il prominent
member. the history of the dead man
has been practically the history of the
Church, for he has passed through all
the scenes of trouble and triumph
which nave marked the progress OF tho
Church from almost the beginning. He
was known as fearless man, and in
the early days of pioneering in this
state, he was successful In dealing with
Indians and lawless white men with
whom the pioneers had frequently to
contend He vas noted for his bray
cry, and was ordained n Seventy at the
age of 20 years, and one of the prosi-
Jlpncv of the Fourth quorum.

American Travellers Seemingly Their Especial Prey-Experience of One Victim in sn Old
 World Capital.

NThe American who travels in Flu rope and does not keep the closest watch on his valuables is almost sure to be relieved of his personal belong ings by pickpockets," said w. E. Mig hell, vice-president of the San Fran cisco chamber Of commerce, who has just finished two-year tour of the world
 The lfght-fingered gentry are active everywhere from London to Cairo. but I will give the palm for badness and dexterity to the professionals of Italy, where the plunder of pockets has been reduced to a fine art. I am a careful man and did not need to read the constant warnings against pick pockets, and yet in the great plaza of Venice I was robbed last summer of my letter Of credit for s10,000. There was an enormous crowd that had turned out to hear the band play, the day being Sunday, and I was josued two or three times by huge fellow with black mustache. Finally see ing that he was doing it purposely I lost my temper and addressed hot remark to him, at which he exclaimed:
 Pardon, monsieur, dropped his um- brella at my feet, and in stopping to get it managed in some way to get my letter of credit, although 1t was in an inside pocket. It caused me lot of trouble, the sending of many cable grams and some money, but I man. aged to have the payment stopped and the thief prof1ted nothing.
 ''In Rome last Christmas day I went out for a ride in the suburbs to see some rare paintings in an old church. Wishing to see the country I took a street car that was densely packed. The air was pretty crisp and I wore an overcoat closely buttoned. How on earth the rascal managed to get my watch and make away with it will puzzle me to my lifes end, but he did the trick, as found on getting off the car
 Had it been only an ordinary time piece I would never have said word of the loss, but 1t was an unusually fine watch and I valued it much more than the $500 it cost. The manager of the hotel, whom I consulted, advised me against reporting the theft. He said that the local pickpockets op- erated in gangs, and that within an hour after being taken the watch was probably in some other city. This did not sound we'll to me, so I hunted up the United States resident consul and narrated my story to him. He gave me precisely the same advice as the hotel man. Still unpersuaded called on the chief of police. That official was polite, but he wanted me to de- posit the $100 reward I was willing to pay. I saw no advantage in this and told him I'd think it over.
 That evening the. hotel manager told me of an American who had been recently robbed of S1,0o0 and who had put up s200 in advance with the police and who was still waiting for the recovery of his money. He had made up his mind that he'd like to

Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chica- go, H., says "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice and find it very satisfactory"
 Dr. William Belmont, of Clevc- land, Ohio, says "Your Castoria stands first in it's class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that SO filled the place."
 Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich, says I prescribe your Cas- toria extensively as I have never found anything to equal it for chil- dren's troubles. I am aware that there are limitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Ffetcher's."
 Dr. Charming H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo-, says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration. As a laxative I consider it the peer of anything shat I ever prescribed"
