VISITED SPRINUVILLESAU'RUAY. An Interesting Story of a Donkey Hide v i a . . ! iruui new iorK to nan Francisco Lots of Experience. On Saturday last about 10 o'clock In the forenoon, a lean, lanky individual, individ-ual, mounted on a Itec'.cy Mountain cauary, and clad In travel-stained habilianients drifted Into town from the directions of Provo. He was a bright-faced, intelligent looking man, and was soon the center of a curious crowd. It was soon learned that the six footer with the curious gear was tu u . other than It. Pitclur Woodward, of , New York, the fame of whose wager ; last year had spread across the conti- j nent. His visit to Springville was in occordance with the terms of wager. At about this time Prof. W. E. Itydaleh happened down the street, and on seeing the stranger a id his I out fit, recognized him at once as the man of whom report had so frequently fre-quently spoken. The Professor introduced intro-duced himself and invited Mr. Woodward Wood-ward to dine, which the latter accepted. The kind in vita? i n was also extended to Win. F. Gibson of The Independent, and the three gentleman spent a couple of hours very agreeably in the Professors cosy home. ... Mr. Woodward is a charniina conversationalist, a man of education and culture, and a thorough man of the world. His trip has given him a fund of anecdote and experience rarely met with, even among great travellers. A year ago, Woodward, who was a member of the Writer's Club, of New York, wagered with a brother clubman, club-man, Benjamin Lilliard, on Bryan's electron in the amount of $5,000: in case liryan lost,, which he did , Woodward Wood-ward was to pay the amount in cash, or in lieu therefore to make a trip on a donkey from New York to San Francisco, starting without a dollar in his pocket, and agreeing to complete the journey in a year. Ue must reach the goal by Nov. 3, or forfeit the $",0ft0. Bv the conditions of the wager, lie must wear the same Prince Albert coat all the way, and had to wear a plug bat as far as the Mississippi river. He is to pay all expenses out of his own earnings, and neither beg nor borrow, and furthermore, he was to visit McKinley and liryan at their respective homes. Mr. Woodward has, to date, complied com-plied with all the curiously-imposed conditions of his wager, even to the selling of photographs, of himself and donkey, labeled "Two I)onkey9." This .lust hardship was almost unbearable, un-bearable, for Mr. Woodward is a man of pride. He called on Mr. McKinley on March 1st at Canton, saw liryau at Chicago, and called upon Mrs. liryan at Lincoln, on June 12ih. lie was entertained by a com mi tec at Lincoln, Lin-coln, and from Mrs. liryan ilrst learned of the beauties of Utah. lie has called on the Governors of States and Mayors of the leading cities en route, and has numerous autographs au-tographs of dignitaries. At Cedar Rapids, la., Mr. Woodward employed a valet, and the two have made the trip together, with four donkeys. One ot the latter, Maccaroni, has made the entire trip from New York, and Mr. Woodward, as a matter of pride, intends to finish the journey on him, and ride him, shod with silver shoes, into the corridor of the Palace "ho'tel, San Franciseo. The master will pay for the shoes, and says it will he another blow to the goldbug who started him out. Mr. Woodward came down Provo canyon from the Uintah country, and left for the West the next day via the old pony express trail to Austin. Nev. His travelling companion remained re-mained at Provo while Woodward came over here. Photographer Anderson took a couple of views of the traveller and his outfit. The koiak Bends also caught him from every angle. EDUCATIONAL MATTE US. A. J. Southwiek Resigns From the School Hoard.

A Young Mapleton Farmer Takes Laudanuir. Sl'PPOSED ATTEMPT AT Sl'IC'lDE. Timely Arrival of Dr. Dunn Nines KIs Life. Domestic Troubles Alleged as Hie Ker.soa for the Act. Early last Monday morning a messenger mes-senger from Mapleton rode furiously i tit i town and conveyed the Information Informa-tion that Kay Matson, a young farmer l.vingupat Mapleton, had taken an overdose of laudamiini, and that the services of a physician wore needed without delay. Dr. Dunn pmmnly responded, and on arriving at the farm found young M.itson in a very precarious state. The physician set to work, and as a result of his exertions Mr. Matson was soon out. of danger. A report :s current that Mr. Matson attempted suicide, because of a little domestic infelicity, and a reporter for The Independent interviewed Mr. Geo. 15. Matson, father of Kay, in an attempt to get the facts in the ease. The elder Mr. Matson declined to discuss dis-cuss the matter, or to express an opinion one way or the other, and the rumor is therefore unverified. l!ay Matson is about 5 years of age, and has been married four or live years, has a farm in Mapleton, and is nicely started in life. Such an act would scarcely be expected of him. Bticklen's Arnica Salve.

The school book question is one that is occupying the minds of the patrons of our public schools just now and it is in some instances a serious one. There are many children who are unable un-able to begin school with the term on account of inability to buy the books. There can be no cril icism of the action ac-tion of the board in adopt ing the new books as tit.: ones in use had become old and out of date and were not up to the standard required by the later met hods of teaching. The best, way to handle this question ques-tion is for the state to adopt a uniform uni-form system of books and furnish the books free for the use of the pupils the board, of cotnse retaining the ownership of the books. This is the plan in opera! ion in some states and it has been found to work most satisfactorily. satis-factorily. It is not the expense that some might imagine it to be as the quantity of books required can be furnished tit a comparitively small cost. This plan would enable every child to attend school and would make our free school a fn e school indeed. This would be a good matter for our people to keep in mind and present the same to the attention of our next legislature and suggest, a law looking to that end. Ogden Press.

Precepts Taught in Experience's Severe School. Say nothing; it is the only way to avoid being misquoted. Some men can till in a few words what it takes others an hour to tell. Some men want to show how smart they are every minute, and become Alecks. Nothing is more despairing than a woman's cry when she arises to find it raining on her wash-day. t A woman who is in love wit h u man, can prove anything on him, for he h guilty of everything she suspicions. What has become of grand-daddy long-It gs? And how many thousands years ago is it since you saw a lady bug? When shiftless people can't think of any other way of annoying 1 lie neighbors, neigh-bors, they get a pup to howl through the night. I f a baby is good at all other times, it is bound to howl when its mother and father invite their unmarried friends in to einy them. The point in training children is to get them off to a neighbor's house first in the evening, in order to keep that neighbor's children at home. Every man in a small town often regrets re-grets that he hasn't a larger Held. Let him take notice that there is such a thing as a field is too large. If you want 'o attract t he attention of a man, talk about something to eat; if you want to at tract t he attention atten-tion of a woman, take about a marriage, mar-riage, or a baby. The bigger the woman, and the smaller t he husband, the more she leans confidently again t the poor little thing when they walk up the street.
