William J. Bryan, who is having eon- ; ; f tructed in his residence a mantel over ; : which he is placing a mosaic made of : stone frcm each of the states carried I , i by him in either 1896 or 1900. Mr. I Bryan made the request of Mr. Steph- 1 I ens, and the .latter referred it to Elias I Morris & Sons company, with the re- I - . ! suit stated. I Labor Dar, Sei 1, will be appro- ... : priately celebrate 1 by the Utah Fed- I ' eration cf Lal.r. ho are now arrang- 1 ; ing for a bi,-; parade in which it is ex- 1 pec ted 3,000 men will participate. There 1 will also be a large number of chil- 1 i dren 5n Iine four military bands and a I i ; hundred teams provided by the Team- i , sters' union. The parade will take place I in the morning, and in the afternoon i a" will go to Lagoon, where prizes j will be given for different sports. jj As a result of the failure to sprinkle 1 ; the streets during the time of the 1 shortage of water a few days ago, Health Officer King fears that an epi- 3 demic of scarlet fever may attack the ! city. The clouds of dust that overhung I " the city were undoubtedly laden with I ; i disease germs, especially those of scar- i ,.'"' ,et fever. an3 although sprinkling has I : again commenced, bad results are feared from the time that no sprinkling was done. j . i Section Director Murdoch of the lo- " t cal branch of the weather bureau says ' i that this is the turning point of the f : season. Tuesday's cool spell ended the uncomfortably hot weather of the year. " , and henceforth there will be no cause j for complaint on account of the heat. I : The tendency from now on will be toward cooler days and nights. Light J frost will make Its appearance about September 15, and the atmosphere will continue to become more frigid I I for another month, when all staple pro- I : ; ducts will be killed by heavy frosts, j ; These heavy frosts are the harbingers of winter, and it is only a matter of j a few weeks when people will complain ' of the chill breezes as bitterly as they I have of the heat. ! ' A prominent dealer says there is not I I and has not been for two months any I Oregon flour in the market; neither has there been any other flour than the . ' Utah article, except such eastern flours v as are necessary to mix with Utah I flour to produce very light breads. At i i the same time, it is argued, that if i more care was taken in growing grain in this state, it would not be necessary to ship in eastern grain to supply the gluten in the bread that the 'Utah flour lacks. Other sections renew their seed from time to time, sending as far away as Turkey and Russia for fresh j . j seed, while in this state growers keep ; i on with the same old seed, and the re- , ; eult is deterioration. Contractor Campbell of the federal j ' ; building says that a change of site t uuia mean jne necessity or nis exe- j : ruling a new bond, the material altera- if- tion of the plans of the building, and I other delays which would postpone the I " ; work for some time. However, some I business men claim the delays would j be more than compensated by the ad- I . vantages to be gained. The building j " will be too small in a few years as the j city grows, just as the public building v in Denver is now much too small for 1 the a!ls made upon it. It is claimed '! that the government might better buy I i another site, where the subsoil is not ; ; to be questioned, and sell the present site for a good sum. The present cost ; being but $1. the profit to be derived ' . - by sale would far exceed the expense ; entailed, by the change. i '? I If there is anything the matter with f you. simply quit eating. This is the fa vorite prescription of Dr. O. Z. Hanish, a disciple of the Tersian Magi, who, f . accompanied by eleven converts, is visiting the city. In support of the wonders which have, been performed by his cure, Dr. Hanish says that he has known men to work after going ; without food tor twenty-four days. When the patient begins to get weak, he simply shifts his breathing. If he had been breathing through his nose, he, changes to his mouth, and vice versa, and. lo! his hunger and i weakness disappear. The philosophy of the system is . that the disease is I starved out, while at the same time I the physical forces are expelling the deleterious germs . Dr. Hanish does I not look a day over 35 years old, but he confesses to 50. He and his party of eleven ascended Pike's peak while s en route to Salt Lake, and all fasted the preceding day. There were six women in the party, who ha-d never climbed a mountain before, but they stood the trip as well as the men. The National Guard encampment this year will be held at Lagoon, as it was in 1901. That deciy'on was arrived ar-rived at the other day by the military mili-tary authorities, and an .order to that effect wili be issued from the adjutant general's headquarters within a few days. The date set for going into camp is Sept. 2. The soldius will be absent from the city a week. . ' The primary cause of death of 19- 5 year-old Hiner Torgren Larsen. who expired with all the terrible agonies attendant upon blood poisoning, was a little Insignificant wart on the young ; man's nose. Since early childhood the wart was the bane of his life, so, determined de-termined to do away with it for all time, he persuaded a barber to cut it off. -fc- : Fire eompltely destroyed the factory of the Robinson Bros.'
