I was alwaj's impressed with the vast extent to which essentially British ideas have permeated America. This is apparent in every element of your life, from laws to breakfasts.

Henry Brown, toe of the pioneers of Utah, and who went to the Snake river country over forty years ago, is dead at Baggs, Wyo. Arthur Lomax, a workman, fell into a vat of boiling asphalt in Salt Lake City, and although quickly rescued, he was badly burned. Leland Garber, the mail clerk hurt in the train wreck five miles north ol Salt Lake City, is in a precarious condition and may not recover. The line of railway from Ogden to Hot Springs, a distance of ten miles, has been electrified, and the dummy will be done away with. The peach crop of Bex Elder and Weber counties this year Is a record breaker, and the prices received by the growers have been better than in ture, methods of trade, and conception of honor are all British and not continental. Then a careful study of your political life shows that over 80 per cent, of the public men in America have British names English, Scotch, or Irish. All your presidents save Van Buren and Roosevelt have British cognomens. The same applies to the Supreme bench and other courts, to governors, congressmen and senators. This is especially remarkable when it is considered that there has been no great British emigration to the United States aa from other nations. Moreover, I do not believe that the British stock in America is exceptionally prolific; yet, despite the millions of emigrants from other lands, with their millions of offspring, the original British y element has supplied the governing class which dominates the nation. Further, a survey of the first families in America furnishes a rich array of names drawn from the nobility and gentry of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the Calverts, Winthrops, Endicotts, Fairfaxes, Bradfords the past and Washingtons. These are only a few, but they show wdiat I mean. So It is announced that the Denver & nobler blood flows in England.

Ogden has been honored by the American Poultry association, which W. W. has named organization Browning of that city as the oflieial judge of poultry for Utah. The amount of business transacted by the Salt Lake City postofllce during the month of August showed a 17 per cent increase over that of the corresponding month of last year. Children playing with matches were responsible for the destruction of the barn and a large amount of hay belonging to Willis Johnson of Sprlng-ville- , the loss being figured at $2,000. George W. Rose, a former resident of Salt Lake City, was murdered at Guanajuato, Mexico, last week, by robbers who broke into his house. Mrs. Rose was afeo shot, but will recover. Mike Caracci, an Italian stonemason, was shot by Sam Fondl, a bartender, during an altercation between the two men In a Salt Lake saloon, and has since died from his Injuries. The establishment of free markets for fruits, vegetables and general produce is a subject, which is now being agitated in Salt Lake, as a result of the alleged combine of the local grocers and fruit dealers. Aaron Ross, a Salt Lake switchman, was murderously assaulted by an unknown man in a saloon in Ogden and so badly Injured that it was thought for a time he would die, but he is now slowly recovering. Nils Nickie, a Finlander, was killed in Sait Lake City while endeavoring to craawl underneath a train, the train suddenly starting, the unfortunate man being instantly killed, his body being terribly crushed. There is a teachers famine in Utah. Every county is clamoring for assistance in the school room, and it is feared that in some of the districts the schools will have to he closed, unless teachers can be secured. The Western Pacific railroad is practically completed from Salt Lake to Bews, Nev., a distance of 135 miles. It is believed that this line will be put in active operation between these two points by the middle of next month. the Fire completely destroyed Brigham City woolen mills on the 10th. There was practically no insurance on the building and its contents. The fire broke out in the room and spread rapidly to the walls of the building. The death rate of Fait Lake for August was .96 in every 1000 of population, according to the monthly report of the health department. There were 82 deaths during the month and 142 births. Of the births 70 were male cLiidren and 72 females. The lid has been pushed down further in Salt I ake City by the muhas nicipal officers, nud an order been Issued to all clubs to the effect that hereafter on Sunday they must not allow any one to have liquor unless they are members of the club. Guy Harris of Lima, Lagrange county, Indiana, father of Goorgle Harris, who was shot and killed by her lover, William Bray, on Commercial street, in Salt Lake, recently, has taken the body of the unfortunate woman back to Indiana for burial. Park William Thomas, a City boy, was killed while hauling lumber. The lumber slipped forward and struck the horses, frightening them and causing them Vo run. The boy wns thrown on his head, his skull being fractured ami I is legs and anus broken. 1 For healthy minds it is more important than ever before to strike the heroic note and remember that man is here for the purpose of struggling against his foes and of wanning victories. Society is not out on a picnic or a pleasure to climb out hills and the of it is difficulty conquer for oneself wisjaunt; dom and goodness. To him that overcometh belongs the heros crown and the joy of hanging the shields of ones enemies upon the walls of memory. 1he foes of mans happiness stand round about liim as wolves about the Alaskan miner sleeping by the embers. Now the fire is kindled upon his factory, or house, and, sleeping peace, he wakens to ashes and poverty. Now the flood comes in from over the sea, or the river overflows his bank, or the rains and hails destroy his grain. Then the tornado is loosened, and the cyclone leaves in its path ruined orchards and meadows. Everything man has is overtaken by some enemy. The rust falls upon his wheat, an insect attacks his cotton, the blight ruins the rape or plum, the frost cuts down his corn. In the city panic walks through the streets and cuts down property, a3 a sickle slays the golden grain. Enemies go forth against his reputation, his riches take wings, good name passes, friends grow forgetful. Strength dissolves, the grasshopper itself becomes a burden ; man walks forward under a clouded sky. Getting means struggling. Strength comes through wrestling. The wide look, across the plains means the slow climbing to the mountain top, w hence the view is gained. Every good thing is a prize won after a fierce conflict. And heaven itself is a height on which man climbs on the golden rounds of the good deeds of this life. Every one of the seven crowns and forms of happiness and good fortune offered in Johns vision of paradise represent rewards given for victory won on seven battlefields. Thank God, from the life battle there is no discharge paper that does not come from the angel of death. When the last sunset gun booms, happy is he who has never played the coward, but has fought the good fight and kept his manhood, and every day plunged the battle flag a little further into the ranks of the enemy. In joy that hero will hang the shields of his vanquished enemies upon the walls of memory 1 I fear the man poor in spirit would scarcely file a successful role in modem life.

Johnson Rose was shot in the back by Mark Edwards at Medicine Bow Wyo., and was badly injured, the bullet passing entirely through his body.
