Great Salt lake has shrunk to the lowest low-est reading recorded last winter, which i, was on Feb. ir.. one foot below the zero mark on the Garfield gauge, a year - ago yesterday the reading was six j , inches below the zero mark, and the ; ! level two weeks ago, when the last I previous leading was taken, was ten inches below the mark. Section Di- i rector Murdoch of the weather bureau f does not think the lake was ever any f lower than at present. A number of prominent physicians of Salt Lake arc working on a plan to es-f es-f tablish in I'tah a medical school. The idea is to have the school made a de- .partment of the Slate university, if possible, and to secure an appropria-' appropria-' ; tion to assist in maintaining it. It is expected thai the matter will have the full indorsement of all the local medi-; medi-; . ' men. and that a strong effort will 1. ; be made 10 secure favorable action by the next legislature. 1 , i Gilbert D. Amos is dying of kidney I i I disease at the county poor house. At 5 ', onf time he was worth a quarter of a 5 ' million dollars, and that was only ten I . J years ago. when Salt Lake was ex- 1 i periencing its biggest boom. 5 Patrick McManus, an old miner and I well known character about Eureka. died at the Holy Cross hospital in this j city Tuesday. ! McManus has been working about the i mines of Eureka for years and was a f familiar character about the town and j j wH known by many of the miners, j . who will be pained to learn of his i . death.

Thron j Thronson, a mining man who came up , from there yesterday, brought the news ; that a man had been killed in Calientes three or four days ago. ! "I don't know the man's name," said Air. Thronson, "but I think he was a i sub-contractor for the Short Line. He . was in one of the saloons that abound in the place, and a dispute arose. He was beaten and kicked to death, and ! when it was all over nobody knew any. thing about it. "Calientes is a city of tents. It is ; doing a great deal of business, as it "is now the distributing point for Pioche, i : Ie Lamar and quite a stretch of coun- ; try. Every man seems to be his own law and his own protection." i Mr. Thronson says that both the San 11 Pedro and the Short Line are grading between Calientes and Pioche. the i Short Line fixing up wie old grade, and the San Pedro working on a new sur- I ' Th S. P. Teasde company stock of i clothing, store fixtures, good will and 1 business at 132 South Main street has I just beta sold to William T. Howe of j this city and E. W. Kelley of Fillmore, I" ; and the business will be continued at the j same place by these young men. The J exact price paid for the business would : not be stated, but it is known that the ; stock of goods transferred invoiced $H.t0. ! The Teasdel family has conducted a j clothing business at this place for over ! thirty years, and the store was a land mark to many of the old-timers. The firm l lias always done a good business. The purchasers are well known and popular, besides being young and full of energy. Air. Kowe has ben for seventeen seven-teen years connected with tlx Siegel Clothing company of this citv. Mr. Kelley Kel-ley is in business at Fillmore, but will ; Hose out there and remove bis family to Salt Lakf and make this his home in about a month. He is a member M' the legislature and has many friends in this city.

Heinrich Waentig, Ph. P.. professor of ' political economy in the university of Greifswald.

The distinguished ' visitor win remain in ;snlt Iake City sev-' sev-' eral days, acquiring information coiicem- ( ing local development along the line of mineralogy. V. st nlay he devoted some i hours to unofficial observation of the ' , , Mormon institutions. Today he expects , , to visit lttshop Whitney with a request r ' i lor information concerning the commun- i istie and commercial experiences of the I church. "I have a work ahead of me that will take several years," said the professor ! . . last evening. "At present Mm trving I ; , to familiarize myself with America in a general way as a foundation for mv fu-t fu-t ture efforts. ! "At home we are particularly interested in the wonderful development of the iron and steel industries in the bands of the Americans. We also want to learn of! your methods of handling unionism and the labor problems that arise from time to time. No country in the world offers such a field for the scientist in economy. With alT your different classes of people, your widely separated communities and ' J . diverstified interests there is a certain i i American spirit. j let"' ain inter sted in gaining assistance , 'ora the Mormons, as they have in an C'Uig-anizeri way indulged in economics on wili9rfrP scale in several fields of endeavor, i timi home 1 familiarized myself with the' JVitution 1n a general way as contrib-j.p,! contrib-j.p,! iik one of the most interesting features . the makeup of the cosmopolitan Amer-1 Amer-1 an population. ar "America is a wonderful country. T am so pleased with my reception that I bate to say one harsh thing, but I must. The only possible development that has been neglected is art. I fear it always will be. as the American people do not' feel their I" deficiency in that direction. From de signing homes to the selection of personal per-sonal attire the idea s ems to be to provide pro-vide something for the average man. Then everyone adheres to that style and there is no individual slruegle for the artistic. 1'ntil that comes there can be no great movement of an artistic na-! na-! ture." |
