 Fight Follows War Discussion.
 Disagreeing on certain matters con- corning the attitude Italy will be most likely to take in the great European war, a number of Italians who work at the Styles and Reynolds brick : yards, entered into d lively discussion last night, which resulted in a fight that could put the battles at Liege to shame.
 The history of this last battle was gone over carefully in the Berlin po- lice court this morning, Judge George Griswold deciding, that Ernesto Cavo- lero neglected to use the proper diplomacy in the matter and was re- sponsible for the complicated circum- stances which followed.
 According to witnesses, Cavolero's s views differed from those of Lauro Ronchetti and Alberto Paolo, fellow boarders. Finding that he could not convince Paolo by any other means, he decided to force him to agree with him. Without taking the time to de- SAeAA C. cisive blow on Paolo's nose, following up with a number of other punches, which found soft places on the others face.
 A dispatch was sent to Constable Enrico Polo and he arrived on the scene just in time to prevent Paolo from being annihilated. He took Cavolero in tow and gave him free lodging in the town lookup for the night
 It is apparent from Judge Gris- wold's decision that he is firm be- liever in mediation. He fined the ac- cused one dollar and costs on each of two counts, drunkenness and breach of the peace.
 Dr. Roger M. Griswold was called, as it was thought that the peddler had also been struck. The doctor revived him, but Dutwievic will be in no con- dition to resume his duties for a few days, owing to the effect of the shock He was carried to his home in the Hardware city in a team sent down by his partner in the milk business The dead horse was removed today. The peddler valued him at S25O and pur- chased him only recently.
 Peculiar Prank in Kensington.
 People occupying houses in the vicinity of the old feed storehouse on Pennington avenue, which was owned formerly by William Brown were given a bad scare during the storm which ravaged through this section last evening, when lightning struck tree in the rear of the storehouse, followed along an iron wire, and knocked huge splinters out of the side of barn and of a heavy pole. One of the splinters from the pole was thrown several feet into the air and landed twenty feet away from the tree which was struck and split in two.
 To add to the confusion, plot of grass at the end of the wire which the tree with the barn, took fire and blazed in a lively fashion for few seconds
 Italians living in one of the beard ing houses felt the house tremble and they ran out into the street crying in fear.

ADDRESS TO GRADUATES
State Superintendent Matheson ad
dressed the graduates as follows:

You should recognize the
fact that while much credit is
due to yourselves for the efforts
you have put forth to make this
day so important in your lives,
much credit is also due your
teachers, your parents, the COM
munity and the state for provid-
ing facilities for your progress.
The state annually expends hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in
the education of it's youth, be-
lieving that such is one OF the
best possible investments. 1t
! has faith in the value of educa-
ton. 1t believes what Jefferson
said long ago that "if a nation
expects to be ignorant and free
in a state of civilization, it ex-
poets what never was and what
never will be-" If the state had
not this strong faith, it never
would expend millions of dol.
lars in the work of schooling
the young. The mere spending
of money without the hope of
profitable returns is sorrowful
to contemplate. The farmer
would not sow did he not believe
he would reap. The mere act Of
sowing seed in the ground is
not pleasant in itself, The
bringing of the mountain
streams through canals and
spreading the water out on the
thirsty soil is not Of itself a
source of satisfaction. Yet the
farmer. sings as he ,.sows. The
grain and he is of light heart as
he waters his fcrops,. for ,,.shis
faith and hope are that Q har-
vest will come from his efforts.
Harvest time comes at last.
He does not then think much Of
the toll and the money spent. He
is only happy in the realization
of his hopes. He gave to ma
lures soil, and he received
therefrom "some thirty, some
sixty: and some an hundred
fold"
So it is with the state. 1t
gives freely. On graduation
day and thereafter it receives.
It's returns or harvest consist of
men and women of progressive
ideas, of industry, honesty, cou-
rage, and of integrity to that
which an enlightened citizen
ship recognizes as right and
true. 1t expects Of its children,
future men and women to gov
ern and control the state in a
way which will give the great
est amount of life, liberty, and
happiness to all. From the
boys who at some future time
shall act as judges in cases in
volving large amounts of pro-
perty, or even life itself, it ex-
poets that nothing but pure JUS
tice shall be bestowed. In leg
islative halls it expects its sons
to frame laws the most whole
some and far-reaching for the
public good. 1t expects that
those who may be charged with
public duty will fulfill such
duty with all Of, the, skill and
fidelity which would be exhibit

place the Uintah Mountains

You had to learn by painstaking
care and had to show by pain
stalking care the positions and
comparative sizes of the several
counties, the location of the
principal towns and cities, the
direction and extent of the rail-

life.

you must perform your tasks,

1t is evident that whatever

certain that more than a com.

1t is true Of course that NOT
every college man or woman
will be successful. Not every
college man or woman will en-
body the highest virtues of
American citizenship. But by
far the largest proportion of
them will be successful and will
render the most efficient and
the greatest number of services
to the communities in which
they reside and to mankind in
general. History tells of men
and Of women too without early
scholastic training who have
been among the greatest bene-
factors of the race.
Without college training Lin
coin became a master of Eng
fish and a statesman without an

of geniuses. His Unborn gifts
were greater than may be de-
veloped by the training of the
school. But it would be danger
Gus to neglect the training of
boys in the hope that they
would develop into a Lincoln.
History also tells of men and
women with advanced training
who have been miserable fail
ures. These are exceptions. De-
spite helpful training they have
failed in the race of life.
If honesty and integrity to

The Indian War

Veterans

In this issue we are running a
statement of Hon. Joseph Howell sub.
mitted to the Committee on Pensions,
having under consideration various
pension bills for the purpose of pen
sioning the survivors of Indian wars
that occurred after the late Civil
war. The statement will furnish in
teresting reading to the survivors
many Of whom are in our midst, and
states the case as it actually exists
today. The Utah delegation has work
ed and struggled in the hope that
these worthy men, and their widows
would receive some measure of rec
ognition by the federal government
for the faithful service rendered the
government. Up to date the desired
results have not been accomplished,
but the delegation have not ceased in
their efforts and Sre still at work in
the hope that the committee will see
its way clear to report a bill as Con.
gresham Howell says that will not
only be generous and liberal in its
bounty, but broad enough in its pro-
visions as to proof of service to en-.
able every worthy survivor to share
in it's benefits.
The Republican feels that Congress.
man Howell and his associates are
entitled to great deal OF credit for
the untiring efforts they have put
forth in this matter, and trusts they
will soon reap the fruits of their la
bors in bringing the deserving and de-
sired recognition to these veterans.

Herman Matasar, proprietor OF de-

that he had liabilities of about $11, 900.
They arranged with Attorney Samuel
Dulsky of Chicago to prepare a peti-
ton in bankruptcy. With Federal
Clerk Charles Surprise of Hammond
the attorney went out to inspect the
store. They discovered about $4,000
worth of goods on the shelves and
were about to leave when Mr.. Sur.
prise was surprised to note shiny
headed nail on the bulkhead under.
meath one of the big show windows.
He investigated and after pulling
out the nail and several others found
that they had supported secret panel,
1t is alleged. Behind the panel was
about $500 worth of shoes, shirts and
clothing. Their curiosity aroused, the

There they found more goods piled In
boxes to the value of about $4,000.

NapoIeon's Victory at srienne.

One hundred years ago Napoleon
met the army of the allies at Brienne.
a village in northeastern France, and
was victorious after keenly contest
ed battle. The emperor had left Paris
only two days before, prepared to
make a last desperate effort to halt
the advance of the enemy on the
French capital and thereby save his
tottering throne. The allied Russian
and Prussian armies were in command
of Marshal Blucher. Napoleons forces
were in a deplorable condition. At
Brienne, it is true, his old soldiers
displayed prodigies of courage in his
name and under his orders, but the
raw conscripts were discontented and
many of them deserted their colors.
Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to
the fact that he came up to Blucher
when the latter. was separated from
a part of his forces. Prince Schwart-
zenberg, in command of the Austrian
forces, Immediately set out for the
purpose of supporting the Prussians,
and the combined armies of the a.
lies recommended their advance on
Paris.

THIS WAS SOME CHlCKENI
When Its Gizzard Was Cut Open Forty.
One Pieces of Gold
Dropped Out.

Pueblo, Colo.-H. d. Fisher wanted
a three-pound chicken for dinner the
other day. The market had only one
chicken left. 1t weighed four and
three-quarter pounds. The matter was
referred to Fisher and finally, after
much misgiving, he bought the rem
nant for 78 cents.
When the chickens gizzard was cut
open in the Fisher kitchen Al pieces
of gold dropped out!
Fisher has not yet weighed the gold,
but estimates it's value at not less than
$50.
The Al pieces ranged in size from
tiny pellets to strip half an inch
long, by three-sixteenths wide and
slightly under one-sixteenth thick.
Neither Fisher nor the proprietor of
the market can trace the fowl. 1t came
to the market with a lot of others from
q local beef house.
