My friends the bargees, who were near

naturally until they got accustomed to
the sight to think the winter bathers
mad. About three of my neighbors were
also in the habit of bathing all the year
round. but l was the last of the maniacs.
Bathing in cold water when you are cold
means mischief and discomfort, but when
warm is health and pleasure and you en-
joy yourself like Russians rushing from
hot baths to SHOWS.
You may ask. why. IL you really liked
it and it agreed with you. did you give it
up?" Man is the creature of surrounding
circumstances. When the Teddington

| Steady progress is beng made on the

| Using an opening during the latter part

goers Of Washington an opportunity to
enjoy another vaudeville house in which
| only the best class Of acts will be shown.
The steel and brick work on the thea
| ter is now practically complete, and the
inside equipment and the decorations
will be pushed with all speed. The al
ready attractive front will be materially
altered when complete and should prove
as pleasing an exterior as could be de-
sired The color scheme of the exterior
archways, now noticeable. will form the
main entrances into the house. but will
be filled overhead with ornamental glass.
Extending out over the whole entrance
space will be marquese. Gray lime

Inside the house the color scheme is to
be carried out in buff and brown. Great
care has been taken to have even the
smallest details harmonize.a and when COM
plete the interior of the playhouse will
present beautiful picture, all the deco
rations and hangings blending, from a
golden buff to richest brown, ali the more
fitting for its autumnal opening. In con-
nection with the color scheme, the idea
to be carried out by the seating arrange
ments will prove an index to the care
to be taken. On the orchestra floor will
be mahogany opera chairs specially de-
signed and upholstered in Spanish-finish-
ed gold leather. These seats will also be
equipped with patent foot rests. On the
balcony floor viii be found quarter-sawed
oak seats with piano polish veneer, while
the boxes and mezzanine floor will be
supplied with Austrian Brentwood chairs.

BIG FINANCIAL INTERESTS
And Their Relation to the Existing
Situation.

FROM the New York Press.
1t is a coincidence for the thoughtful
to ponder over that at the very time
when pessimism tinges as never before
the public utterances of captains of in
dustry there should sbe published a most
exhaustive tabulation setting forth
wonderful increase in the number of
stockholders Of great corporations There
is no need to rehearse here the COM
plants and outcries of railroad presi-
dents and other business leaders who
would have US believe the country is on
the verge of bankruptcy and starvation
chiefly because corporations are subject
to the Sherman antitrust act. Although
the stock market has begun to scrape
bottom in the opinion of many of those
who watch it closely, there has been but
little cessation in the chorus of Iaments.
Perhaps it is more than a coincidence
that stocks should begin to decline at
about the time the Wall Street Journal
commenced publication of data showing
a remarkable increase in the number of
recorded holders of large railroad and
industrial corporations. 1t is possible the
larger holders for long time have been
distributing their holdings to small in
vestors just because they foresaw trou-
blous times ahead for the corporations
A year or two ago 1t was popularity sup
posed the Morgan interests were buying
INTO banking ana insurance institutions
and selling railroad and industrial stocks
because they did not expect to make as
many great fortunes in the future as in
the past out of the latter concerns. No
doubt there is a large element of truth
in this. The day of vast fortunes from
watered stock is past. The huge profits
which the Morgan syndicate made from
the fotation of United States Steel, in
regard to which Herbert Knox Smith,
United States commissioner of corpora
tions has just given us such intimate de-
tails, are not to be repeated. There is
undoubtedly more profit to be made from
merging banks and trust companies than
in floating railroad or industrial mergers,
as Henry P. Dawson, j. p Morgans
most active young partner, long ago
realized.

History OF Cedar City.

The Pioneers started from
Parowan November IL, 1851
about noon. They had what was
known as the dog wagons which
they hauled their dogs in. They
had a great number Of dogs
which were mostly all sheep
dogs.
They stopped in Summit to
feed their cattle. They got here
in the night and camped in the
cedars south west of the
metery. This is how Cedar
got It's name. They built brush
wigwams to live in until they
could get houses built. They
first lived In the Old Field, then
they moved to the Old Fort, then
TO where we are living now.
Not long after the Pioneers
got here Bishop Lunt had his
team stolen by the Indians. A
little while later the indians
were brought back and whipped
severely. They were tied to the
liberty pole and the Chief Of the
Indians gave them each nineteen
lashes on the bare back.
The pioneers served a big din
ner and invited the Indians to
attend. This was to make friends
with them.
The fort they were in was
something like this: Three
houses then a Bastian TO shoot
from. These houses served as
part of the wall and with all this
they had to have day guards and
night guards.
President Young told the people
to move farther West because
the Indians were so bad. The
people left their homes again
md '~t~t t~i lived in cellars in
Ih which was known as

When the people wanted white

When the people wanted white
-four they had TO send to San
Pete Valley. They sent to Salt
Lake about once a year for n
pound Of sugar. This they used
only when some one special came.
They ground the most of their
-four in coffee mills,
The people had three houses
built by Christmas. These houses
were owned by James Chat
terley, James Bosnew and an
other man. They also had a
meeting house and school house
built by Christmas. Their first
school teacher was William
Caruthes.
In the summer of 1855 a great
food came through the town.
IL came down from the Hogs
back.
Mr.. Chatterley asked his
daughter Anna Chatterley if she
could make a flag for the fourth
of July, Anna got Mary Whit
ter, and Mary Stones to help Ter
make the flag and with AIRED
silk dress of Annals and white
one and some blue sateen they
made the first flag that was
ever put up in Cedar.
The people had lots Of their
cattle stolen by the Indians.
There was a large Smelte'
ninety feet high and it would
hold ninety tons of fuel.
Mr.. and Mrs. TAFT taught the
second school.
The people lived in cellars II
the winter of 1853.
Mr.. Morris had n little lndlar
how by the name OF Isaac. This
little boy herded cattle for the
pioneers. Ounce knowing thai
Isaac was out herding the cattle
went 70 him and killed him
His idea of killing Isaac was 81
that his little boy would hav'
some one TO go to the hunting
grounds with.
President Young was the ma
that laid off the blocks.

School Room.

The school room is dark and
dreary
And the children all seem weary.
They heed not to the teachers
call;
They perpare no lessons at all.
All the children do is consult
their nieghbors
And never think a thing of their
labors.
And all the long day they set
and play
And | do not think that is the
right way.
| think that there are better
ways to do,
And if you will think a while you
will too.

And along with that work a little

But il hasn't been showing,
Nor did we hear that joyful
