HIS NECK BROKEN
Ole Anderson of Paradise found
Dead on South Main Stree.t
Thrown from a Wagon.
Last night about 8:30)p. m. as Henry
Otte was going down Main street near
the Sixth Ward meeting house he
saw a miUn lying In the middle of the
road. Ills first thought was that the
man might be Intoxicated but close
examination showed that he was
dead though he must not ha a been
dead but a shoit time as the body was
still warm. Help was Immediately
called and the officers notified. Fur
ther Investigation showed that death
had come as a result of a skull fiac
"fturo on the back of the head, piobibly
the result of a fall. This view was
confirmed a few minutes later when a
span of horses and wagon were found
In front of the residence of James A.
Lclshman. The team had evidently
been running away and In dossing a
ditcli one of the horses had fallen and
in some way had broken his leg. The
injurcdanlmal was shot to relieve Its
sufferings and the other animal with
the wagon and effects weic taken In
charge by the officers. The body was
identified as Ole Anderson of Paiadlse.
Fuller investigation brought out the
facts that he had been in tow n most
of the day and had left his team tied
to the pole at the Thatcher's Bank
corner. He had been drinking some
and towards eight o'clock some friends
got him in Ills wagon and staitcd him
home. Tills was the last seen of him
alive. So one had any thought but
that lie would be able toieachhomo
safely. The theory Is that when lie
reaqhed. the vicinity of the Sixth
Ward meeting house lie, hi some way
fell from the wagon onto tho tongue.
Tills frightened the horses and caused
them to run away. As he fell to the
ground the wheel probably struck his
head, fracturing his skull and causing
death almost Instantly. Tills morn
ing his watch was found a short dis
tance from where ills body had lain.
tThe hands stood at 8:05 p. m. probably
rilie exact time of the accident to its
owner. A hack was procured and the
body taken to Llndqulst's undertak
ing establishment. Efforts were made
to notify the relatives at Paradise
but as the telephone ofllcc was closed
for the night these were not success
ful. The family therefore will not
hear of tho accident until this
mornlngr
From Goodwin's Weekly.
This Is the way Goodwins Weekly
puts it on the Senatorial question:
"As the matter stands nothing has
really happened except that the apos
tle, having sent a special messenger
to Washington to sound the President
on the matter of Ills candidacy, the
president In tho confidence of his pri
vate onicc, being thus solicited, said
lie believed it would be a mistake for
Utah and for tho Moimon church to
elect an Apostle to a scat In the
American Senate.
That docs not prevent tho legisla
ture from going ahead and canying
out the compact made with most of
membcirf when they were nominated,
and because of which the teachers
went out and told the faithful that
it would be pleasing to the First
Presidency if they would vote the
' Ylckctsas it was pi luted. We do not
think, cither, that the Apostle will
bo denied a seat, for the ic.ison that
in Colorado aie two Jack Moimon
senators, In Wyoming, Idaho, Mont
ana, Oiegon and Nevada there arc
enough Mormon voters to make, in a
close election, a balance of power, and
all the Senators from these states will
rally around Mr. Smoot and certify to
their biothcr senators that he is all

Tho lecent deatli of Frledrlck Al
fred Krupp tho "Cannon King" lias
brought bcfoic the public some details
regarding his extensive iron and
steel works in Geimany. These works
weio founded about a century ago by
tho grandfather of the lato owner.
Many sorrows and disappointments
wero experienced by the promoter of
this great enterprise, who woic ills
life out without making much of a
mark. But ho laid the foundation,
upon which his son and grandson
built and operated, ono of tho greatest
plants of its kind the world ovcrknew.
Tho statistics show that In 1001 they
owned and operated 600 ore mines In
Gormany, with other mines in Spain,
jand with numerous quanics, sand and
' ' clayplt, andwharves of their own
at Rotterdam. They owned two prov-
Ing grounds for testing their guns, one
had a range of fifteen miles. Be
sides the above they owned three
Ocean Steamers for transportation, a
railway with about seenty-flvo miles
of tracking; equipped with forty four
locomotives and nineteen hundred
cars; a telegraph system of about sixty
miles, witli thirty one stations; a tele
phone sjstcm of two hundred and
seventy miles, with three hundred
and clgnty stations. In the works
tlieic aie 1G00 furnaces 5,300 pieces of
machinery; 141 steam hammers, 03
hjdraullopresses,323 stationary boilers,
513 steam engines, with a total of
43.850 horse power; 370 dynamos GOO
cranes. The factory consumes S.5U0
tons of coal and coke dally. Total
number of men employed Is 43.083.
A regular flic department with 100
men for the protection of the pro
perty. Ficdilek Alfred Krupp up
to the time of his death paid the
highest income tax of any man in
Germany, and was persumably
the richest man hi the Empire. 'ot
wltlistanding the extensive propor
tions of ills Industry, he foretold that
the Industrial tleeolpment of the
United States In manufacturing iron
and steel would In the, future outdo
Germany. In this regard he has
shown himself nearly a prophet.
EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.
The staitllng facts made known at
the recent meeting In tills city of tho
Southern Education board should stir
public conscience in tho whole Nation
to the need of wider educational ad
vantages, particularly in the South.
There arc In that section of the coun
try, still Impoverished by the war,
handicapped steadily discriminated
against in taiilf legislation for f6rty
jeais, 2,500,000 childien of proper age
who arc not eniolled In school. Of
those who arc enrolled many cannot
scenic a sufficient number of school
dajsinthe year. Many sections aie
unable by taxation to provide schools
for all, to pay salaries which shall at
tract skilled teachers and to build and
equip modern schools. In this work
It is tho duty and the Interest of the
North to aid for the common benefit
of our common country.
Maracaibo, Venezuela, Jan. 16.
The German cruiser Panther shelled
Fort San Carlos, at the cntracc to
Lake Maracaibo yesterday for one
hour. The fort returned the fire vrih
four guns. The Panther withdrew in
the dhection Curacao
Foit San Carlos Is twenty-two miles
from Maracaibo and commands tho
' cntiancc to the lake, or inner
; bay.
' . The correspondent here of the As
sociated Press has received the fol
lowing fiom Gen. Bello, the com
mander of the fort:
"Yesterday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock
Fort San Carlos was attacked and
shelled without any provocation on
our part, without previous notifica
tion or the delivery of an ultimatum,
by the German cruiser Panther, which
tiled to force the entrance. After a
fight lasting an hour, during which
the foit used only four guns, the
Panther was obliged to abandon the
fight and retreated in the direction of
Curaco. The Fort suffered no dam
ago and only three men were wounded."
GTRENUOU8 KIND OF BATH.
Description Calculated to Cause the
Reader to Shiver.
In Finland a novel form of vapor
bath has rooently become popular. A
person who proposos to enjoy it Ilea
down at full length in a hammock,
which Is suspended over a largo bath
tub flllod with ico-cold water. An at
tendant then throws into thU water
some hot bricks, whereupon a vapor
arises and envelops tho person lying
in the hammock. For some mlnutos
tho attondant allows him to remain
oxposod to tho vapor, and then, attor
removing tho bricks, ho gives tho
hammock a Jerk, and tho gentleman in
It comes plump down into cold water.
Those who have tried this method of
bathing say that the sensation is quite
novol, and that tho sudden phmgo
Into tho cold water really invigorates
ono.

TRAPPER'S STORY.
Experience of Jean Montague In
the Rocky Mountains as an
Explorer Years Ago.
Jean Montague was a Canadian
of French parentage. When still a
mere lad he had entered the service
of the Hudson Bay company and con
tinued hi their service as trapper for
several years.
The follow lng Is an account of ills
experiences as l elated to the writer
some j ears ago.
"In the late thirties the company
fitted out an expedition to explore the
legion from Manitoba west to the
Bocky Mountains and southward Into
tho Mexican territory. We weicwell
supplied with provisions and cairicd
with us a largo supply of calico and
tilnkcts to boused in bartering with
the Indians for furs, buffalo robes,
and buckskin. We had eight or ten
wagons and about 00 head of cattlo
and ten or twelve horses and mules.
There were about fifty men all well
armed. We also carried along a small
cannon as an extra precaution in case
of any trouble with tho Indians.
They were very much afraid of the
"loud speaking gun" as they called
our howitzer. Wo spent the best
pait of the summer exploring and
trapping along tho Snako river and In
the latter part of the summer came
down into the region of the Salt Lake.
We were very successful in obtaining
furs and by September had our wag
ons pretty well loaded, and decided
to spend a few days In the Willow
Valley (Cacho Valley) before staiting
on our return eastvvaid. Wo found
fur animals very numerous along all
the streams and as grass was abund
ant vvc decided to spend tho winter
there rather than take the risk of
crossing the plains so late In the sea
son. We therefore made our camp In
a Cottonwood grove on the cast side
of the valley and made somii sheds
and pens'for our stock. We also cut
and put up a little hay, sufficient we
supposed to last us through the win
ter. The winter proved unusally
severe and snow fell tosucli depths
that it became almost impossible for
tho cattle to get any feed whatever.
The weather too was extremely cold.
Long before the winter was passed it
became apparent that we would loose
all of our cattle unless wc obtained
feed for them. Wc went down on to
the river bottoms and cut canes and
willows and what bunch crass wo
could, and managed to keep the most
of tho cattle from perishing but we
lost piobably twenty or twenty-live
head. It was near the middle of
April before spring came and it was
about the first of June bcfoio our cat
tlo were in shape to stait on the re
turn trip. The loss of our cattle
made it Impossible for us to take with
us all of tho furs wc had collected
and wc decided to cache them and
send for them later. We also cached
our surplus yokes and chains and all
aitlclcs that wc did not absolutely
need for our return journey. I did
not return with the next company
but decided to go into the tiapplng
business on my own account. In 1811
I spent the winter on the Blackfoot
and in the spring of 1842 came down
Into the Cacho valley thinking to stay
a mouth and then leturn to tho
Blackfoot, but I was so successful
that 1 dofcircd my return fiom day to
clay until all my food supplies ran out.
I had alwajs used tobacco and the
loss of It made nic sick. I was camped
at tho time on the Logan river a mile
or so abovo its month. I shall never
foiget the experiences of those few
dajH. I was too weak to even get a
drink of water and should ceitalnly
have died but for my dog. As It was
I didn't think I had many liouis to live
when a trapper chanced to pass on the
other side of tho liver. My dog saw
him and seeming to realize my post
tlon, set up a vigorous barking that
attiacted his attention. No human
volco ever sounded as sweet to me as
his did. My tongue was so swollen
fiom thirst I could not speak, but I
made him understand I wanted to
bacco and water.
Tho valley at that tlmo was a very
beautiful piece of country. Game,
such as ducks and geese, was very
plentiful. All of the btrearas were
fringed with a dense thicket of wil
lows and tho rivers were alive with
beavers, minks and otteis. You peo
ple coming in liavo spoiled it for tiap
plng and I shall liavo to ply my trade
elsewhere hereafter."
The Old Mormon fort.
If you w ill look at an ordinary wall
map of Missouri, j ou will notice about
sixty miles east of St. Joseph, a little
vllliage mark, bearing tho name of
"Tho Old Mormon Fort". If jou would
visit the spot now you w ould not find
any signs of a fort, and but very few
evidences that any town or vlllago had
cvor occupied the site; Yet there was
a tlmo when theeountiy "Swarmed"
with people. Several bundled houses
dotted the plain and on every side
could be heard "the lrinn of hulustrj"
In tho hands of a numerous people,
busy In all the labois that character
le an enterprising progiesslvo com
monwealth. The place was Far West. The time
1837. The people the Moimons. They
had been foiclbly expelled fiom Jack
son, and the counties futhcr south and
had come up into tho unsettled pait of
tho State wheie they would have no
neighbors and hoped to be premltted
to llvo in peace. Far Wcstbecause a city
of several thousand inhabitants and
lfir wlinlo pmintrv for tulip utnuiirl
was coveied with cultivated llclds and
homes of a happy people. But this
condition of things seemed to In Itatc
thclazy, Indolent, less prosperous In
habitant of tlicadJornliigcountlcs,aiid
tho same old hate that had resulted
In the persecution and expulsion fiom
Jackson county was revived In Bay,
Clay, and other counties. Then com
menced the aggltatlon that culminat
ed In the famous extermination order
of Governor Boggs, as follows.
"The Moimons must be Heated as
enlmles, and must be exterminated or
driven fiom the State, If necessaiy for
the public good. Theie outiages arc
bevond all description."
Tho English have been condemned
during two or tlnce gcneiatlons for
tho enforced iemov.il or tho Arcadians
and In all time the following gcneia
tlons have condemned acts of cruelty
and oppression of their fathcis.
Incoming years Gov. Boggs will bcac
credited his proper place In history.
As, long as history last ills name like
Nero's will be coupled witli persecu
tion, murder and laplue.
When the balmy brcases of return
ing spring readied Far West in 4830,
they fotmd the placo practically desert
ed. Boggs order had been executef'.
Without food, without proper clothing
the inhabitants had been forced to
abandon their homes, and amidst
blinding snow storms and fieezlng
gales had sought refuge beyond the
Mississippi.
The story of that exodus can never
bo written. The suffering of those
15,000 souls will never be known. But
when the great Judge shall sit the suf
ferers and the dead will be there to
testify.
Boggs Is dead and forgotten In his
own State. Many of his cruel subor
dinates have met the fate of out
laws. Far West lias been clTaccd from the
map. The present inhabitant has
forgotten its name. But as you pass
through the country on a train ho will
point off across the plains towards
Shoal Creek and say: "Over there
eight miles Is the Old Mormon Fort."
THE PULPIT AND THE PEW.
London Paper Complains of the Timid
ity of Preachers.
Wo should ltko to plead for a Uttlo
more courago In tho pulpit, both In
dealing with tho difficulties of belief
and In dealing with questions of duty
nnd practical conduct. Wo aro all la
mcntlng tho disappearance of Sun
days; can It bo said that all our con
gregations havo had clear touching
about tho principles on which Sunday
observance should bo based and tho
practical rulon which must bo kopt In
ordor to socuro opportunities of rest
and worship all round? Is thoro not
great timidity In troatlng many other
questions of "applied Christianity,"
cuch as tho conditions undor which
manufactures aro carried on, tho re
sponsibilities of investors, and tho
stewardship of woalth? Thorny sub
jects, all of them, no doubt, but tho
penalty for shirking thorn Is tho In
evitable forfolturo of tho roapect and
sympathy of tho mon who aro In earn
est, tho men who distrust a rollglon
that appears In wiy way to dlvorco
Itself from the practical guldanco of
life. London Guardian.
A Healthy Vlllaae.

est Wanstead has broken tho record
of suburban London parishes In tho
matter of low death rate. During
August and Soptombor tho mortality
only avoragod 2.70 per 1,000. No
hoalth resort In England can show bo
abnormally low a dcathrate as this.
AS IN BELGIUM.
Government Ownership in this
Small European Country an
Great Success.
In Belgium as hi most countiles of
Kuiope, the government owns the
tclegiaphs and telephones, and to a
huge extent the lalho.ids. Bach of
these blanches Is wotked at a piollt,
and they add mateilally to 1 he gov
ernment revenues. The lcvenue fiom
the lallwajs last joar was about
$.,0,000,000, and that fiom the tele
giaph $2,000,000. The lalhoads aie
managed in the Inteicsts of the peo
ple, and nunc especially for the lower
classes. ThcdllTeient loads have work
ingmou's tickets, by which a laboicr
may go to his factory and back If It Is
within llftecn miles for 37 cents a
week evciy day by tialn. There arc
also reduced tickets for school chldien
and a half rate for school excursions
wheie the children aie taken away
under tho chaige of the teacher for
Instruction pui poses. The oidlnary
price for a blcjclc taken long with a
passenger Is 14 cents, and dogs tiavel
at third-class lales.
The Swiss sjstem of j early passes
at allKcd rato prevails lieie. For
$12.5 jou can get a ticket that will
allow jou to tiavel tluoughout the
vear second class on any of the state
lallwajs, and tickets for a shoitcr
time at piopoitlonatcly low nites.
At present theie are moie than 2,800
miles of railroads in the country, with
a passenger tralllo numbering about
140,000,000 i Ides per jear.
I find tho cars vciy good, although
they aie, generally tilled. Tho service
at the stations U excellent. Thoio
arc plenty of porteis, diessed hi blue
Jeans and black cloth caps with num
bers on them, who take your baggage,
weigh jour trunks and carry your
small truck Into the tialns for ten
cents, or ev en less per person. I havo
been riding second class and I find It
comfoi table. Tho cars aro divided
up into compaitmcnts, with seats
facing each other, so that each com
paitmcnt will accomomdatc six. Tho
scats aie covered with felt or leather,
and their lacks upholstered, to high
above jour heads. The fares arc rc
niaikably low.
POSTOFFICH AND TUB SAV
INGS BANKS.
The Belgian postolllcc depaitment
manages also the telephones and tele
graphs, as well ns the savings banks.
The telegiiiph i sites are much lower
than oius, and the seivlco is quite as
good. You can send fifteen woids for
ten cents, fifty words foi 21 cents, paj
Ing only two cents for every ten woids
thereafter. There arc now about
4,000 miles of lines in the countrj',
witli enough wire to reach around tho
world. There arc 37,000 miles of tele
phone wire and 15,000 stations. The
conversations last jear were almost
forty millions.
The national savings banks arc pat
ronized by all classes. Tho books
number more than a million and a half,
and the deposits approximate $120,000,
000. In addition to this there is a fund
of government annuities amounting
to $33,000,000, so that tho Belgians
liavo in their own savings bank about
$150,000,000. The most of such ac
counts aro small and the savings come
fiom the poor. More than (JO per
cent of the books have a total of less
than $20, and fully throe-fourths of
them aie under $100. Taking the
whole population into consideration
there is one saving bank account for
every four Inhabitants or on the aver
ago above one per family. The ac
counts are steadily incieaslng and tho
peoplo deposit thus more and mote
every year. The system enables de
posits to be made in tho smallest v II
lages and every lubojex,has a safe
place to put his savings If ho wishes It.
It Is a pity that some similar arrange
ment cannot be made for tho United
States.
Suicides In Vienna.
Austria's caplt&l continues to main

of 1002, 2S0 men and 08 women killed
thomselvcs In Vienna, and 367 mado
tho attempt unauccosafully. Tho ages
ranged from a man of 87 and a woman
of 80 to a boy of 16 and a girl of 13.
As tho seasons varied, bo did tho

Ministers' Attltsdc. jH
There Is a lull In the light against jH

aspirations, so far as the Salt Lako LLfl
Ministerial association Is concerned. IbI
Mr. Smoot's inline was not mentioned ijlsssl

so far as could bo learned, and It is Pssa
doubtful If it w ill bo mentioned in the fiiH
meeting of tho Ministerial association jH

of the associat ion last evening. "Wc jH
