bulletin, has this to say about the
matter:
I'm addition to the sorrow and sui.
fering, the money loss involved in this
needless sickness and death is appall.
ing. A low estimate of the value OF
the 200 lives, compared with their
earning capacity, and not counting the
expense OF sickness, shows an aggre-
gate loss for the month amounting to
100000. The public apathy displayed
in the face of these facts is one OF
the unsoved mysteries of the human
mind. Does any one believe that no
more attention would be aroused il
the enormous monthly loss were caus.
ed by ., preventable disease occurring
in hogs or cattle? Would 1t not excite
the utmost interest and concern and
result In bringing to bear all the re.
surces OF the state and the expendi-
ture OF vast sums for the eradication
of the disease? Is 1t not a fact that
in every community the best men OBJ.
tainablel would be employed to enforce
the necessary measures, regardless OF
expense, and that no effort would be
spared in educating and instructing
people as to the nature of the maladv
and means of prevention"
People here in Cache county should
pay heed to this condition and seek
to make 1t Impractical to continue
here any longer than it will take to
eradicate these germs from our ses-
eral systems. DIR. Beatty further de-.
clares that all sanitary authorities are
agreed that parasitic diseases can be
banished, and by parasitic diseases
are meant those resulting from germs.
He closes his supplement with this
most instructive and powerful plea
for correct knowledge on the part of
the suffering public:
Briefly stated, it is now known
that all communicable diseases, the |
deadliest foes of the human race, are !
caused by living organisms common
ly known as germs, which originate |
solely in preceding case and cannot |
originate outside of the body, that
these germs are given Off from the
person affected with the disease, and |
If permitted, either by direct contact
or indirectly through air or water or
food which has been contaminated by
the patient, may gain entrance to
the bodies OF others, and that it is
entirely feasible to prevent this dan
ger by methods that are simple, prac.
teal and defective. The only question
left for the people of Utah to solve
is. how long they shall allow public
Indifference and ignorance OF these
facts to cost them so dearly"

CUT OUT THE SPECULATOR.
Governor-Elect Brewer Makes Urgent
Appeal to Spinners.

Clarksdale.-Hon. Earl Brewer, gov
ernor-elect of Mississippi, has just re.
turned from a trip East, during which
visit Mr.. Brewer made an address, in
which he endeavored to convince New
England cotton spinners of the desira-
billy of growing their own cotton III
the South, or at least of buying it of
the grower, rather than of spectators.
English spinners have bought 1000
acres of land i'll the Yazoo delta in the
last six months and spinners from Hol-
land have bought $4,000 acres in the
last three months. There are still 4OO,-
0O0 acres left suitable for raising the
best grade of cotton, and | am patriotic
enough to want to see it bought by
Americans, rather than by foreigners.
Il have come North to present the
situation to spnners of Boston and New
Bedford before it is too late.
After meeting the spinners face to
face, L am convinced that the spinner is
not the man with whom the planter has
to fight to get his rice, but that the
spinner has to fight as hard with the
speculator from whom he buys as the
grower has to fight when he sells to the
spcculator.
Il think that if the spinners. and
growers will get together they can elm
mate the speculator entirely and to
their mutual advantage, as well as to
that of the consumer. | think that is
just what is bound to come and that is
why | propose to make an annual visit
to Boston in the future"

NO PAUPER, NO PENSION.
Webster County Board Would Change
Present Laws

MISUNDERSTANDING that under the
present state pension law and system,
pauperism is made a condition precedent
to successful application of veteran
of the Confederate States service for
the modicum of relief which the Missis-
sippi pension laws provide for these
worthless or their widows, the Webster
county pension board has come forward
with resolution declaring for a change
in the law calculated to eliminate that
feature. In the preamble to the resolu-
ton proper the committee sets forth
that in order to secure consideration of
his application, any old veteran in order
to secure favorable action by the au-
thorities higher up must prove conclu-
sively that he is a pauper, which as
they declared is humiliating.
The gist of the resolution is that the
legislature be approached with a view
of inducing it to so change or modify
the law as to place all Confederate vet
Grams with honorable records on the
same footing. They would have the law
to so read as to eliminate the present
pauper's oath system, ana have the APP
plicant simply certify to the satisfaction
of the pension board of his county as to
his service, in the army or navy of the
Confederacy, which would be sine
qua non as to his eligibility.

FIGHT ONLY CHINESE
Uprising Is Not Yet Directed
Against Foreigners.

A cable dispatch received in Wash.
ington from Cheng-Kiang. in western
China, says: "a serious rebellion has
occurred i'll the district of Cheng Tu.
The soldiers refuse to obey instruc-
tions and arc trying to bring force
against the government control of the
railway. The schools are closed Busi-
ness has been suspended.
Unless the uprising is stopped it
may lead to a general rebellion. The
missionaries are concentrating here
-Four foreign eunboats provide protec-
ton. The uprising is not at present
directed against foreigners"
This is the first direct cable dis
patch from Cheng-Kiang, in the heart
of western China, since the recent
alarming reports of native uprising
and the danger TO large number of
American missionaries in that remote
section.
For days all communication had
been cut off from the disturbed district,
much as it was at the time of the
Boxer uprising.

$32O,OO0 BANK THEFT
Robbers Make Haul in British
Columbia Institution.

The New Westminster, B. c.,
branch of the Bank of Montreal
was broken into during the night, the
vaults being blown by nitrog1ycerin.
Reports say $320,OOO were taken.
Posses have started out in search of
the robbers, but no definite trail has
been found. 1t is believed the men
are experts at the business.
Two strange men have been observ-
ed in New Westminster for several
days. One of them had a bill changed
at the bank.
The supposition is that the man Wis
tied the Eank merely to inform him
self as to the location of the vaults.
They are supposed to be the men who
for several months have robbed trains
and banks in the northwestern part
of the United States.

SPORTING AFFAIRS

In New York, Friday, Carl Morris
received a terrific beating in ten
rounds from Fireman jim Flynn of
Pueblo, Colo, and had it not been for
Morris wonderful pluck there is no
doubt that he would have been put to
sleep. Although Morris was nearly
six inches taller and weighed fifty
pounds more, he was practically
slaughtered. Both of his eyes were
closed, his nose was broken, his lips
were slsshed and he received so many
blows on tine right side of the head
that it swelled to the size of small
pumpkin.
At Sydney, N. S., Jack Lester
of Gle Elum, WASH, defeated Bill Lang,

The battle went for the full twenty

DR., Wiley is Still
j, S, Chief CHEMIST
Father Of Pure Food Law up-
held by President.
II Is lntimated that Taft Will Do a
Little HcusecIeanine in Agri-
cultural Department When
He Returns.

President Taft will do "house clean
ing" in the department of agriculture.
and he will Iot ask for the resignation
of DR.. Harvey w. Wiley as a step in
the renovation. These are two facts
the promise of a shakeup to end
the strife that blocked efficient en-
forcement of tie pure food law and
the full eXoneration OF the father of
that slatute-were made known when
the president gave out his decision in
the Wiley case"
Mr. Taft declares his purpose to
oyerrule the recommendation of the
personnel board of the department AMI
Attorney General Wickersham that DR..
Wiley be dismissed and concludes witn
this significant reference to the house
inquiry into the charges against the
chief Of the chemistry bureau:
"The broader issues raised by the in
ysstigation, hich have a much weigh
ter relation than this ore to the gen.
eral efficiency of the department., may
require much more radical action than
the question | have considered and de-
c,ded.'
This is regarded as forecast of sum-
mary measures when the president re-
tutns to Washington in Novembe.
In his opinion making it known that
the "condign punishment for Dr.
Wiley, which Mr. .Wickershan held to
be necessary, will not be meted out,
tie president voices no word OF criti-
cism for the chemist, but many a word
OF praise
There is no indication in it that Mr.
Taft feels that he turned down" the
attorney general by not accepting his
recommendations. He explains that
Mr.. Wlckersham's findings in the case
were made with less complete data
than were before lin when he took it
up.
The Wiley case" arose over the en-
ployment by the bureau of CT mstry
of DR.. H. II, Rusby of New York. phar-
macognosist of the bureau. In effect
DR., Wiley, DR.. L. F. Kebler, chief of
the drug laboratory, and Dr. w. D.
Bigelow, assistant chief of the bureau.
We're charged with having conspired to
pay DR.. Rusby calary Of 81 500 a
year, with the tacit understanding that
he was to do only enough work to Sc
cure this amount at the rate of 500 :
day. This was held to violate the act
of congress of March 4. 1907 which de-
clared that I'd classified scientific in
vestigator should receive mo- than 80
a cay
In addition to the recommendation
that DIR. Wiley be allowed to resign,
the personnel beard held that DR.. Rus
by should be dismissed, that DR.. Keb-
Ter Re reduced and that Dr. Bigeiow
be allowed TO quit the service. None
of these recommendations is upheld
in the presidents opinion.
