James Gibson Dies at A Lodging House Under Mysterious Cironmstances. James Gibson is no more, He died in horrible agony at Carolina Haves lodging house in Eureka early Monday morning. The particulars of the case arc as follows: It apnears that he had retired early and about 4 o'clock lodgers heard groans and screams coming from his room. On going to the dt or it was found that Gibson was laying on the floor in his usual bight attire but was writhing in agony. Dr. Lombard was summoned and attempted to give him some medicine med-icine but the man could not be induced in-duced to swallow. Failing to be able to give relief the physicians returned home and about 5:30 was summoned again, but Gibson died in a few minutes. Symptoms of poisoning were manifested and it was decided desirable to hold an imjuest, which was done a few hours later. After examining several witnesses a verdict was rendered to the effect that deceased de-ceased came to his death from causes unknown. Gibson was a blacksmith by trade and had been in Eureka a month, but had been unable to secure steady employment. lie was English by birth and at the time of hi death was about 50 years of age.

Any form of exercise or sport which makes serious demands on the attention, atten-tion, on quickness of eye and hand, and on endurance, ought not be taken up bv people who have reached middle life and are engaged in sedentary seden-tary occupations, only with great circumspection. cir-cumspection. The lesson has been learned by Alpine climbers through many bitter experiences. It is pretty generally held by them that most of the fatal accidents in mountain climbing occur through the failure at the critical moment of some man who has taken to mountaineering too late in life, and who is, perhaps, out of condition. An old (log cannot be taught tricks, according to the proverb;' pro-verb;' and though it is disagreeable to have to realize that we have passed the age when we can excel in a new pastime, requiring special skill to avoid accidents, and youthful adaptability adapta-bility and elasticity to avoid overstrain, over-strain, it is the part of wisdom to accept ac-cept the inevitable. There is no reason rea-son why middle-aged men, and even those who have passed middle age, should not take to cycling; but it should Vie with a frank recognition of the limitations which age imposes. Great speed, long distances, and hill climbing put a strain upon th constitution, consti-tution, and find out the weak places, the parts of the system which are aging faster, perhaps, than the rest the heart, it may be, or the vesse's of the brain. So, ajso, in regard to riding rid-ing a bicycle in crowded thoroughfares, thorough-fares, the strain on the attention is considerable and the risk not small, if a man has lost the quickness of youth. British Medical Journal. Heading- as a Mental Stimulus. An eminent French critic said in a lecture recently In New York that "To distrust what we like is the tlrst requisite of progress in art and in life." lie did not mean that books that are disagreeable are the only books worth reading. But ho did mean that a book which opens up a new Held of knowledge, a new outlook upon literature or life, Is not at first likely to give the pleasure that comes from one which simply rellects the old familiar ideas of which we say complacently, "How good and true that is, for I've felt it or said it myself." my-self." A book that pats you on the head or heart all the time is apt to be little more than a reflection of your own narrow experience, and you will net learn anything from it. A book that makes one feel ignorant is as mortifying to one's pride as a superior person. "Droch"' in August 1 Ladies' Home Journal. UTAH IN BRIEF. A Resume of the Weeks Events For Rapid Readers, The Lehi Sugar company will begin the manufacture of sugar about September Sep-tember 15th. The county clerk of Summit county received 2,000 squirrel tails last week, upon which bounty is paid. The Daily mine at Park City ha closed down.

The Womens's Democratic club is working in connection with Wasatch politicians, and an elaborate program is being arranged for the day. A government agent is making an inspection of the asphaltum deposits in the Uinta reservation. It is said the government has an idea of using gilsonite as a coating for the bottom of war vessels. It is claimed no animal ani-mal life can bore through it, nor will it become foul, thus preventing fre quent docking. The Jubilee commission has presented pre-sented the great salt dragon which figured in the Street parades at Salt Lake, to Josh Davis. Mr. Davis feels very proud of the beast, and in returning re-turning thanks to the commission for the gift says he will always treasure it as a memento of the greatest.eyent In the history ot Utah.' Half a dozen Utah parties have gone to the Klondyke gold fields, most of them as rcpr.sentatives of syndicates. Cass Hite, the veteran miner, has been offered $5,000 for his personal services and an interest in all claims, to pilot a couple of wealthy New York women to the scene of operations, lie is considering the offer. Manager Cutler of the Utah Sugar company at Lehi, has closed a contract con-tract with eastern parties for Hie erection erec-tion of a plant for the distilling of spirits from low grade beet molasses. The building will be located on the Rio Grand Western, a short distance east of the' sugar mill, and will be ready for operation in 00 days. The bodies of the two unfortunate boys who wore- drowned in the Bear river at Logan have been found. Their names were Alphan Hielte and Ferdinand Christianson. Fears were entertained that they would go over the falls into Salt Lake, but their bodies were recovered not far from where the drowning occurred. Mr. Barlow, fruit vender of Bountiful, Bounti-ful, had his jaw broken and several teeth knocked out by a stone thrown bv a hoodlum near the Warm Springs Salt Lake City. Several tough youths who live in that vicinity climbed Mr. Barlows wagon and started to steal his fruit, and when he drove them away they responded with a volley of stoues. Barlow rccvived medical attention, at-tention, and the resul t of the encounter encoun-ter will be slight outside of facial disfigurement. dis-figurement. State Engineer Young has made a thorough examination of the reservoir reser-voir situated half a mile east of Kays-ville. Kays-ville. Mr. Young said after a thorough examination that it is one of the most secure dams in the state. He said further that 4 or (i feet of earth could be added without the least danger, and thus the capacity of 10,000,000 gallons gal-lons could be doubled. The reservoir as it now stands has ost about $2,500 It was built last year aud has proved to be an entire success. One of the most remarkable feats of female detective work is on tho part of a young mother, who has for the past tlf teen months been looking for her five year old son, who was as she alleges stolen from her by her former husband, from whom she was divorced about twenty months ago. The ladys name is Mary Woodbury, of Leadville. She has searched in seven different states, she has traveled over H,U)0 miles when she found a clue that her husband and boy were at Vernal. She went to the bouse, accompanied by the sheriff, found her boy and the court gave him to her.

Conditions Under the Present Tariff Favorable to New Ventures. But for the Hawaiian uncertainty, the new sugar fariff would be fairly encouraging to farmers aud capitalists capital-ists wishing to engage in the domestic domes-tic industry. The new law provides no bounty for the domestic producer, but by allowing the free admission of sugar from t he islands gives the Hawaiian Ha-waiian monopolists a bounty of more than He per pound. This, and the danger that the islands will lie annexed an-nexed by action of congress next December, De-cember, are the influences that retard the rapid development of our own beet sugar industry. These influences will be felt most strongly on the Pa-cilic Pa-cilic coast. In the central and middle sections of the country, the sugar trust is the main factor to be reckoned with. It iscvidently favorable to the multiplication of factories for producing produc-ing raw domestic sugar, but opposed to plants that will refine their sugar. The trust wants to retain its monop oly of refining, and will make great efforts to do so. As a matter of business, busi-ness, however, it makes no difference to the trust whether it refines domestic do-mestic or Imported raw sugar, provided pro-vided the supply is sufficient to keep the refineries going. On the other hand, the trust's violent vio-lent opposition to the domestic sugar industry would create a public sentiment senti-ment that would affect the great monopoly most disastrously. It is now known that had the senate sugar schedule become a law the favors it bestowed upon the trust would have made its stock worth $250. This great advantage was knocked in the head by public opinion, and by the farmers' denfands as voiced by the American Sugar Growers' society As to the location of new sugar factoiies, much will depend upon the outcome of this season's experiments ex-periments in beet culture. -With proper assurance of an abundant supply sup-ply of beets of good quality, a factory under the present tarff should be a good proposition for all concerned.
