Berlin, June 14.-Al1 Germany is
preparing to celebrate tomorrow the
twenty-ffth anniversary of the access
sion to the throne of Kaiser Wilhelm.
The festivities of course will not be
confined to June Is alone In fact, they
have already begun.
The plans for the jubilee are gor-
geous. More than $4,000 has been spent
in decorating the streets alone. I'm
der the direction of Germany's most
famous artists. Inter den Linden,
Friederichstrasse, Leipzigerstras se,
Pariser Plotz, Potsdamer Platz, the
Brandenburg gate and other leading
streets have been decorated. All the
hotels of Berlin are crowded, and it is
estimated that at least 1900 Americans
have arrived for the festivities.
Only one thing is likely to cloud the
silver jubilee, and that is the delicate
condition of the kaiserin's health. She
is extremely tired from the exertions
and excitement attendant upon the re-
cent wedding of her daughter, Princess
Luise.

The arrest and confession in Salt Lake recent
ly of black-hander, is another victory for the
Pinkerton Detective Agency, whose operatives
effected the capture. The culprit is a young man,
and his criminal career is another evidence of the
ruin that invariably follows an attempt to get
something for nothing. Although reared under
the benefcient influences of christian mother, it
appears that ne disregarded her teachings and
listened to the urid pictures of those who plan
to live without working. There are still few
persons who maintain that the world owes them
a living. and who are constantly scheming to get
a living without working for it, Without doubt,
the time will never come when all will know
the contrary. So long as there are those who in
these enlightened days argue that the earth is
flat, what hope is there of making intelligence
universal? Truly, there is fool born every
minute.

Mr.. Peet and the MOrmons

great furore which might better be termed
stink, - was created in the Democratic party
of the state few weeks SINCE and for time
threatened to cause serious split in the party,
due to the charges made by one " S. Peet,
erstwhile champion of the rights of the Mormon
people in Utah. to the effect that ne had been
defeated for the postmastership at Tremonton as
result of Mormon" opposition.
Peet is chiefly known through his publication
of paper called the Utah Independent during
the days when the American party was in control
of the politics of Salt Lake City, and his lectures
throughout the state in which he posed as
champion of the Mormon people and vigorously
assailed Tom Kearns, Frank ]. Cannon, and
others connected with the American party.
Following the success of the Democratic party
in the nation last November, Peet purchased the
Tremonton Times, which heretofore had been Re-
publican in politics, and changed it to Demo-
cratic organ Shortly thereafter he was endorsed
by the state chairman and national committee
man of the Democratic party for postmaster at
Tremonton. A little later the endorsement of
Peet was withdrawn and another resident of that
place was endorsed for the office
Peet then fastened to get into the newspapers
with the statement that he had been betrayed
by his party, that Norman had been named in
his stead, although he had definite agreement
with the leaders of the party that he was to re-
ceive the coveted appointment, otherwise he
would never have purchased the Times and re-
moved to Tremonton. He charged that his be-
a had been h inc
leaders of the church who were opposed to his
attitude on the tariff question.
While all the facts are no doubt not public,
enough has been CLEANED to lead to the conclusion
that Peet's charges against the Mormon people
of Boxelder county and the leaders which he
named are as thin as skinned milk and the re-
suit of his failures to have his own way. To the
man "up tree" his attitude all along has not sa-
vored of sincerity and his latest acrobatc stunt has
only served to confirm that belief AS to how he
will justify himself we are unable to understand

Claims Discovery Of Cure For
Blindness.

What is believed to be remarkable
cure for blindness-by the use Of sheep
glands-has been discovered by a ply
sician at Philadelphia hospital. A
test case has been made of David Alb
beroth. who has regaine6 his sight af-
ter having been pronounced to be hope
lessly blind. The result is accredited
to dust developed from the Juice of the
thyroid glands takn from the throat of
a sheep.
Diseases of the eye, due to beredi
tary causes, are not benefited by the
juice. bur in all cases where the corne a
is inflamed. causing blindness. due to
lack of nutrition of the eye, the ply
sician says that an absolute cure can
be effected. In speaking of the new
cure specialist at the hospital says
1.-THE action of the gland extract,
which is administered IN tablet form,
is through the general nutrition of the
body. Blindness is due to the infiam-
nation of the cornea, or window of the
eye, which IS of nutritional origin, and
probably due to some deranged func-
tion of the ductless glands. The ad-
ministaticn Of the thyroid glands re-
stores the normal nutrition and in
fiammation disappears, allowing the
cOrnear to clear and the light to en-
