AUQUST 3 1901 ii r TIlE SALT TAKm aATTJJU y l 4 REAT1D Salt Published Every Day By THE HERALD COMPANY SQUANDERED WATER FUND I4TTLX OVER A YEAR AGO a bond Issue of fa tM for the increase discussion that preceded thts action pledges and promise made Igr the cevacilawn and the mayor on the strength of which the bond turn secured Some of these should make interesting reading for the taxpayers at this time In an Interview published in The H eraM of July 10 IMtt Mayor Thompson said It to a mtotaken idea that many people have that the improvement wHl not furnish more water farms tit we are buying in Parleys can jon win increase the water 4MMM gallons a day that is water that the farmer have been using in irrigating their farm Then the new reservoir wilL save 5WC a day that ta now tac to waste in the night or in ever TIle Joint committee of citisens and councilmen that was active in agi fatras In favor of the bond tame pntoltahed an address to the taxpayers in wklch some important pledges were made The address enumerated the ways tine money would be expended promising that an increase of 801000 gallons daily would be added to the water mipply by the rights ti be purchased in Parleys canyon and that 10816 gallons a day would be gained by the pipes ts supply water from the Jordan canal Then the address went on to The council pledges the taxpayers that alt the money realized from the sale C the proposed issue of bonds will be used for the purposes set forth this address to immediately increase and improve the system of the citys water supply Not one cent will be expended for any other purposes A year has elapsed and of the 250000 bond issue is reported to have been expended How have theee promises and pledges been fulfilled In return for the 200000 of their money that has been expended the tax- payers of Salt Lake are experiencing a greater scarcity of water than was ewer before known in the city For the first time in their history the people are unable to get water for their irrigating ditches with the result that val- uable shade trees are dying Such restrictions are placed on the use of water for sprinkling that lawns are growing brown At certain hours of the evening it has been impossible to get water on the fourth and fifth floors of downtown bunding Ten days ago there was no water on the third floor of the city and county building It will be remembered that at the time the bond issue was being agi- tated tile Herald opposed it as extravagant and unjustifiable It pointed out that the expenditure was calculated to enrich the pockets of contractors and te giv citJsens no adequate return in the way of better water service The taxpayers may judge for themselves whether or not the results obtained have justified the stand taken by The Herald when it assumed that the present administration should not be trusted with more money than it needed for legit iNtAte pwposets ROOF PLAYGROUNDS SEVERAL YEARS many of the larger elites of the east and of have been struggling with the nrobiem of how to provide suit and healthful playgrounds for the children of tenement districts Thus far this has been found a very expensive task owing to the costliness of land in the localities where It is desired to locate the breathing spots In Kew York the Hebrews have adopted a plan for the benefit of the children of the poorer Jewish families which has much to commend it Instead of looking for vacant land in the heart of the city or tearing down buildings in order to provide such a spot the Hebrews secured the use of the root ol one of New Yorks tall buildings Here they have built a roof garden- At no greater expense than similar improvements would have cost if made on the street level The e is free ice water in large tanks a handball court tables for chess sad checkers and in one corner a place reserved for babies Thte Is fenced In tilled with clean sand and provided with pails and shovels The building is so high that the children are removed from the noise of the street The air is much purer than below and in the warm weather far oeoter The place fa kept open from early spring tolate in the autumn and m popular It with the little ones that the day to be divided into three Jit lniii und no oae except Invalids allowed to remain during more than one The benefits of such a system are so evident that the wonder is that the plan has not been more generally adopted In all the larger cities during the sonuaer weather thousands of children die merely for the want of fresh air Del a chance to muse themselves for a few hours a day among healthful surroundings But while people have long been groping about through the streets looking for places to locate playgrounds they have failed to realia that the unoccupied roots of their dftyscrapers furnished just the facilities pCr most needed BREACHOFPROMSE REFORM NEEDE- Di SAD CASK OP THE YOUNG MAN from American F rk who was driven to bankruptcy by a breach of promise suit cfemtld suggest to our very able lawmakers an improvement in the method of collecting Ivrsach of promise verdicts Modn hjfi o 1 are being Introduced into every other profession and see and there seems to be no good reason why the law should escape One of the nost popular uptodate methods Is the installment plan of paying for things The book agents the furniture dealers and the building associ- ations find ik satisfactory why shouldnt the breach of promise courts Be aMHMt It already has the sanction of a Kansas tribunal which has permitted Carrie Katkm to go out Into the world and pay back her line at the rate of a month It is a painful fact that young men run up against a breach of promise Cjsse before they have acquired the cash equivalent of a heartful of wounded sjteekteae To drive them to the bankruptcy apt vto harden them pad It does the owner of the heart no rood ill this could be obviated by permitting them to pay for the affections in easy installments This would also make the punishment have a more tailormade fitness to the crime The young man who lies not dodge from under his proposal of marriage is not forced to pay the penalty all at once It conies to him in installments a grocery bill this week a coal bill next rent another and so on through the whole list of matrimonial expenses from carpet tacks to christening robes It is therefore plain that he does not contract for any one great outlay svt for a series of outlays His flee when he refuses to stand by the eon tract should be apportioned on this basis This would be more humane an concerned and ft would also keep men who not in affluent circum- stances from getting out from under by means of the bankrupt court VICTORY OF THE ENGLISH PRESS A BRIEF ATTEMPT to throttle the press and to force It to print such news as should be agreeable to the government the British war office has been forced to capitulate The light was waged particu- larly against the London Mall but the purpose undoubtedly was to intimi- date all papers that showed any hostility to the government The alleged offense which called down the wrath of the war department on the Mail was the printing of a communication from Its respondent re- lating how Boers had shot to death British wounded The cendbr had refused to allow a dispatch of this sort to go through although there has never been any claim made that the story was untrue When the article appeared in the X rper its South African correspondence was immediately cut off Then it was charged that the Mall had stolen reports from the war office and the news as soolatlons forbidden to furnish the paper with official Information The Mail commenced suit against the associations with the result that the ban was taken off but important dispatches were held back until the morning pers went to press This raised such a storm of protest from provincial papers that the war omce has anally surrendered and the light has been declare- dI A more stupid attempt than this to gag the press cannot be imagined and it serves to show to what straits the administration is put Anyone the slightest knowledge or the temperament of the British public would know that they would tolerate no such tactics as this even from the meet popular administration Freedom of speech and of the press is one of the proudest boasts of the English nation and it is safe to say that had the war oWes not heeded the first murmurs of disapproval they would ere long have raised a st rro of indignation that we have brought about the downfall of the Salisbury government Chauncey I epew says he te enjoying life in Paris because he meets only persons that he knows It Is only fair to these to say that they prob aly didnt see Chauncey first or even these meetings might be avoided There

AMBROSE BIERCE i Copyright f by W R Hearst W we may believe our eyes in reading the London newspapers the English I people are experiencing a lucid interval In the matter of the Nicaraguan canal Apropos of iord Pauncefotes recent intimations en the subject these journals having presumably the wrrat of public opinion as they un- derstand it are taking a very friendly tone to the discussion of our claims to sovereignty over the canal that we pinrpese constructing If some of our own people will be good enough to let us The Dally News for example thinks that a wise diplomacy wmild make the Nicaraguan canal question a golden opportunity far strengthening the ties between the British people and their kinsfolk in the United States and is kind enough to add that the special nature of Americas own claim to predominance cannot be over- looked Our special claim to predominance has been overlooked a good deal in the past and by none more than toy our own administration Secretary Hay leading In the inattention and Mr McKlnley a good second Lord relation to the scheme of the man behind the eye we can hardly expect anything better of it If all those excellent gentlemen are now disposed to a juster view of the matter it is probably because of a new light that has been shed upon the subject by the United States senate Our claim to pre dominance may too have been lifted Into a new conspicuousness as viewed from the wrong side of the Atlantic fcy military events in South Africa and diplomatic ones in China Great Britains need of one friend among nations having the means of friendship is enlightening After Transvaal she will need rest for the storm foreshadowed in China She cannot afford the luxury of another enemy Her need is our op portunity let the maundering sentimentallters say what they will there is nothing in the unwritten code of international morality foKblddlng us to get as good a price for our good will as we can Every practical statesman fa- miliar with the conduct of large affairs would laugh at us if we did not it would stir even the vestigial humor of John Bull himself In diplomacy senti- ment and justice are abstractions having a merely verbal existence Says the London Daily Mail Probably we shall find that Lord Pauneefote has consented to the forti- fication of the canal by the United States the point upon which the previous negotiations spilt and foundered Consented is a disagreeable word it is immaterial whether he consents- or not But let that pass The Mail adds But on consideration it will be ear that it does not much matter to Great Britain whether the canal is or unprotected by fortifications By their geographical position and more by the great fleet they are so rapidly creating the United States In any case are bund in time of war to dominate the canal That is very true but It Is cheaper to dominate it by fortification and a fleet than by a fleet only We want a mighty navy but we do not want Great Britains insistence imaginary rights to Itt the chief agency concerned in compelling us to have one However this apparent change in British public tardy disposition to recognition of American rights Is most

into the novelty outdoor performance It Is the first time anything of the kind has been projected in Salt Lake with any suc cess for Mr Frankels production is a success and the management deserves a good deal of credit for having ac complished a hard task under all sorts of adverse circumstances- The stage was a complete green sward with boughs thickly clustered overhead and backed by scenery used in former productions of comedy In the Salt Lake theatre The scene was to say the least picturesque The au dience was seatett on chairs canvas outing benches and circus seats also under the trees It was extremely In convenient for those in the open par quet to see the stage as neither the chairs nor the stage was elevated This will be remedied tonight by the raising of the seats The cast of As You Like It Is a long one and It was Impossible of course to find talent sufficient in a local to make up an allstar It must be said however that Mr FrankeTs players gave as good a performance as was expected even though it bore symptoms of a first night and some of the male members of the cast moved with the grace of a bird they call the elephant Leona Linstead Mrs is a charming Rosalind John Lindsay reads Jaques with his old Shakespearean fire and Harry Taylor handles Touchstone- in all ways acceptably These three professionals stood out prominently In the cast almost too much so to sug seat the possibility of a balance Some of their scenes were warmly applaud- ed Especially was Mr Lindsay appre icated in his recital of the Seven Ages and the FosI the Motley Fool Rosalinds best

Langworthy two reliable Atch Ison men state they know for a posi- tive fact that the Benders were killed shortly after their atrocious crimes were discovered While Judge Webb was in Cripple Creek about four years ago he was told by a man on his death bed who was a member of the posse of twenty which started out to hunt the Benders after their crimes were discovered that the Bender family was overtaken just across theTKansas line in the Indian Territory and the en- tire family killed The bodies were burled and the whole posse took a solemn oath not to tell the fate or the notorious murderers They didnt wish- it known because fact that they killed the Bender while they were pleading for S mercy- A E Langworthy who Is connected with state university says his F E Langworthy also a member- of the posse who lives at Tibune Greeley county this state told him the ethic story about the fate of the Benders Langworthy says his uncle told him the story as a secret Only two it is said of the posse are now living Chicago July 25 Are the members of the notorious Bender family alive According to the story told by Wil Ham G Adkins an expert accountant with offices in the Fisher building they are not Mr Adkins was for years in the vicinity of home of the no- torious quartette of Kansas murderers- He went to Parsons Kan In 1876 nearly three years after the strange disappearance of the noted band e women the un- cle the ¬ ¬ ¬ < < < > ¬ ¬ Kansas at that time was discussing the strange manner in which the mem of the family were lost to the world Parties were made up each week from points near the Benders home which visitedthe scene of the wholesale murders and it was on one of these visits that Mr Adkins became convinced that the family had not es- caped from the country He made in- quiries of many familiar with the his tory of the family and Its sudden dis appearance and he followed clew after clew Each bit of testimony that came to Mr Adkins ears was closely sifted and he gained many points on the case that had not reached the publics ear Mr Adkias continued investigations for four years after the family had disap peared but he failed to learn anything that tended to throw new light on the noted case until he made the acquaint ance of an old town character who lived under the name of Governor Mortimer Mortimer first refused to give any information regarding the Benders but later on he hinted that the family would never be found Then he de- clared that they were not alive and that they had not come to a natural end Mortimer told the story Shortly after the disappearance of Dr York a brother of a member of the Kansas legislature he said he with other citizens of the section put a watch on the Benders A small com- pany composed of friends of Mortimer was placed under leadership of William Dick Nothing was seen that would have caused the authorities to arrest the Benders until Dr Yorks brother alarmed at his disappearance fol lowed the course of the doctors jour ney with the result that his dead body was found near the Benders farm Shortly after this discovery the Ben- ders disappeared According to the po- lice they left the country but Morti- mer insisted they were followed by the bend under Dick which became a vig fiance committee S S The Bender family made desperate attempts to elude their pursuers he said but they were caught on the banks of the Verdigris river The weather had been extremely hot and there had bern a drouth The river hardly larger than a creek was al- most dry The committee after the capture of the Benders held a Judge Lynch trial on the river bank The prisoners were declared guilty and all four members of the family were hanged The vigilantes burled the bod- ies in the bottom of the river at the dead of night and they were swallowed- up toy the sands coming down the river with the first rain For of arrest the band kept the secret of the disappearance among themselves until after the death of Dick When the leader died Mortimer told the story If Governor Stanley of Kansas has issued requisitions for the arrest of four persons at Fort Collins Colo who answer the of the Bender family he he has gone to a treat deal of trouble for nothing says Mr Adkina Had I the time and If I knew the exact location 58 the rive m which the family are said to have been burled I would al most stake

entitled NOtes on the Mountain Sheep of North America written by William T Hornaday di rector of the New York zoological park and just published by the New York Zoological seciety describes a new species of mountain sheep recently dis- covered In the Klondike country and contains a great 6eal of tug these animals of to the hunter For many sportsmen the mountain sheep of the Rocky mountains Is the Ideal game The all but inaccessible places in which the animal his his marvelous agility astonishing keenness of his per- ception of the approach of a foe com- bine to make the quest of him the high- est type of sport In addition there is the legitimate reason for killing the mountain sheep that of all wild known there is no other whose so savory so juicy and so nutritious and digestible And fondness for mountain mutton is by no means con lined to man alone The wolves and grimly bears of the Rockies that have once got to killing mountain sheep never set over the habit i J It is from man of all their foes that the sheep suffer and there is good reason to in some re- gions at least they may meet the fate of the extinct buffaloes On this sub feet Mr Hornaday says Owing to the that the surviving mountain sheep inhabit only the most remote and In- accessible regions the difficulty in af fording them legal protection from slaughter is very great Fortunately for our wild public sentiment in of from ex is rapidly spreading and the lines of proton are each year being more tightlxdrawn Of the thirteen states inhabited by sheep California and have failed to enact laws for their protec- tion Five states have enacted for this species a perpetual close season Arizona Colorado Montana North Dakota and Utah Their good example should be followed by each of the other eight Prior to

its dis- coverer Concerning the discovery of the last of mountain sheep thus far Hornaday says The dlscaxery of gold on the Klon dike river Northwest territory has led to the of still another species of which may justly be regarded as the handsomest and the most striking in color markings pf all known species of the genus ovis While- in Victoria B C last November the attention of the was called by John Fannin to and skull of a mountain sheer which had been sent Dawson City by Henry W as a specimen of ovis stonei and presented by him to the Provincial museum An examination of the revealed the startling fact that it represents a species absolutely to science and so strikingly differentiated- as to render its title to independent specific rank beyond question The In the marking of the ovis as this new of mountain sheep is called in of John Fannin is that it an ordinary mountain sheep brown blanket thrown over his back The head throat chest abdomen the of the legs and a part of the of the animal are all snowy white the entire body with these ex ceptions is a brownish gray This marking Is different from that of any species of mountain sheep known nelson spies discover m wrier I dow

man living probably and he has given an account of his experiences Mr Stone saysFive out of tiwentytwo specimens shot by me tumbled over precipitous walls into inaccessible places and were One of the lost five was found in of three resting on a ledge seemingly not over a foot wide on the Lace of a cliff fully 2flfr9 feet high from base to summit over which I leaned and watched them for some time un- observed How they the place or left it I could One of my Indians came in one night and reported having crippled a large ram which he failed to get The next morning we hunted in that As it the sheep me and caught eight of me I raised my rifle and fired It fell turn Ing completely over then it jumped up and was away across the ridge like a shot its broken leg swinging like a lot raced dire ton ¬ pendulum at As soon recover from my surprise I followed as fast as I could run only to see it disappear over a- side of the next It circled the side of the and took a stand on a jutting ledge of rook from which If I it It would topple oIl down on several hundred feet belQw and be ruined as a specimen- so I sat down to await its possible change of position After a short while my white man and natives arrived and two of decided to go around and chase down As they approached him down he went apparently as lively as ever and another chase took place lasting until the whfte man was played out From the edge of the canyon I could watch every move the native tried his smooth effect and I began to think the rem would get from him It climbed a deep cut between two high turrets in the side of the canyon wall nearest me and found its way into a deep cavity in the side of one of the natural lay Indian could to the place but threw stones at the poor beast until it ran out As it left this big cavity It had either to leap directly down fifteen or twenty feet or pass out by the Indian and here is just where it displayed Its wonderful capabilities in a most dar- ing manner As it emerged from the cavity it crept along the wall which to all appearances was perpendicular and continued straight on for twentyfive- or thirty feet It then turned around and came bacy to the edge of the cavity and leaped down falling as it struck the rock but it was im- mediately tip away seem ingly as game as ever The Indian who within a few feet of the animal at the time said he could not see anything in of a projection- on the face of the rot for the animal- to walk on nor could any of us do so at a distance of perhaps 200 yards with the aid of powerful field glasses I stood carefully watching every movement of the animal and how it was possible for it not only to walk on the side of such a wan crippled as it wfca but actually to turn around and walk back is beyond my comprehen- sion for I am

SQUANDERED WATER FUND

I4TTLX OVER A YEAR AGO a bond Issue of fa tM for the increase

discussion that preceded thts action pledges and promise madeIgr the cevacilawn and the mayor on the strength of which the bond

turn secured Some of these should make interesting reading for thetaxpayers at this time

In an Interview published in The H eraM of July 10 IMtt Mayor Thompsonsaid It to a mtotaken idea that many people have that the improvementwHl not furnish more water farms tit we are buying in Parleys canjon win increase the water 4MMM gallons a day that is water that thefarmer have been using in irrigating their farm Then the new reservoirwilL save 5WC a day that ta now tac to waste in the night or in ever

TIle Joint committee of citisens and councilmen that was active in agifatras In favor of the bond tame pntoltahed an address to the taxpayers inwklch some important pledges were made The address enumerated the waystine money would be expended promising that an increase of 801000 gallonsdaily would be added to the water mipply by the rights ti be purchased inParleys canyon and that 10816 gallons a day would be gained by the pipests supply water from the Jordan canal Then the address went on to

The council pledges the taxpayers that alt the money realized from the saleC the proposed issue of bonds will be used for the purposes set forth

this address to immediately increase and improve the system of the cityswater supply Not one cent will be expended for any other purposes

A year has elapsed and of the 250000 bond issue is reported tohave been expended How have theee promises and pledges been fulfilledIn return for the 200000 of their money that has been expended the tax-

payers of Salt Lake are experiencing a greater scarcity of water than wasewer before known in the city For the first time in their history the peopleare unable to get water for their irrigating ditches with the result that val-

uable shade trees are dying Such restrictions are placed on the use ofwater for sprinkling that lawns are growing brown At certain hours of theevening it has been impossible to get water on the fourth and fifth floors ofdowntown bunding Ten days ago there was no water on the third floorof the city and county building

It will be remembered that at the time the bond issue was being agi-

tated tile Herald opposed it as extravagant and unjustifiable It pointed outthat the expenditure was calculated to enrich the pockets of contractors andte giv citJsens no adequate return in the way of better water service Thetaxpayers may judge for themselves whether or not the results obtained havejustified the stand taken by The Herald when it assumed that the presentadministration should not be trusted with more money than it needed for legitiNtAte pwposets

ROOF PLAYGROUNDS

SEVERAL YEARS many of the larger elites of the east and ofhave been struggling with the nrobiem of how to provide suit

and healthful playgrounds for the children of tenement districtsThus far this has been found a very expensive task owing to the costlinessof land in the localities where It is desired to locate the breathing spots InKew York the Hebrews have adopted a plan for the benefit of the children ofthe poorer Jewish families which has much to commend it

Instead of looking for vacant land in the heart of the city or tearing downbuildings in order to provide such a spot the Hebrews secured the use of theroot ol one of New Yorks tall buildings Here they have built a roof garden-At no greater expense than similar improvements would have cost if madeon the street level The e is free ice water in large tanks a handball courttables for chess sad checkers and in one corner a place reserved for babiesThte Is fenced In tilled with clean sand and provided with pails and shovelsThe building is so high that the children are removed from the noise of thestreet The air is much purer than below and in the warm weather faroeoter The place fa kept open from early spring tolate in the autumn andm popular It with the little ones that the day to be divided into threeJit lniii und no oae except Invalids allowed to remain during more than one

The benefits of such a system are so evident that the wonder is that theplan has not been more generally adopted In all the larger cities during thesonuaer weather thousands of children die merely for the want of fresh airDel a chance to muse themselves for a few hours a day among healthfulsurroundings But while people have long been groping about through thestreets looking for places to locate playgrounds they have failed to realiathat the unoccupied roots of their dftyscrapers furnished just the facilitiespCr most needed

BREACHOFPROMSE REFORM NEEDE-

Di SAD CASK OP THE YOUNG MAN from American F rk who wasdriven to bankruptcy by a breach of promise suit cfemtld suggest toour very able lawmakers an improvement in the method of collecting

Ivrsach of promise verdictsModn hjfi o 1 are being Introduced into every other profession andsee and there seems to be no good reason why the law should escape

One of the nost popular uptodate methods Is the installment plan of payingfor things The book agents the furniture dealers and the building associ-

ations find ik satisfactory why shouldnt the breach of promise courts BeaMHMt It already has the sanction of a Kansas tribunal which has permittedCarrie Katkm to go out Into the world and pay back her line at the rate of

a monthIt is a painful fact that young men run up against a breach of promise

Cjsse before they have acquired the cash equivalent of a heartful of woundedsjteekteae To drive them to the bankruptcy apt vto harden thempad It does the owner of the heart no rood ill this could be obviated bypermitting them to pay for the affections in easy installments This wouldalso make the punishment have a more tailormade fitness to the crimeThe young man who lies not dodge from under his proposal of marriage isnot forced to pay the penalty all at once It conies to him in installments agrocery bill this week a coal bill next rent another and so on through thewhole list of matrimonial expenses from carpet tacks to christening robes

It is therefore plain that he does not contract for any one great outlaysvt for a series of outlays His flee when he refuses to stand by the eontract should be apportioned on this basis This would be more humanean concerned and ft would also keep men who not in affluent circum-stances from getting out from under by means of the bankrupt court

VICTORY OF THE ENGLISH PRESS

A BRIEF ATTEMPT to throttle the press and to force It to printsuch news as should be agreeable to the government the British

war office has been forced to capitulate The light was waged particu-larly against the London Mall but the purpose undoubtedly was to intimi-

date all papers that showed any hostility to the governmentThe alleged offense which called down the wrath of the war department

on the Mail was the printing of a communication from Its respondent re-

lating how Boers had shot to death British wounded The cendbr had refusedto allow a dispatch of this sort to go through although there has never beenany claim made that the story was untrue When the article appeared in theX rper its South African correspondence was immediately cut off Then it wascharged that the Mall had stolen reports from the war office and the news assoolatlons forbidden to furnish the paper with official Information TheMail commenced suit against the associations with the result that the banwas taken off but important dispatches were held back until the morningpers went to press This raised such a storm of protest from provincial papersthat the war omce has anally surrendered and the light has been declare-dI

A more stupid attempt than this to gag the press cannot be imaginedand it serves to show to what straits the administration is put Anyonethe slightest knowledge or the temperament of the British public would knowthat they would tolerate no such tactics as this even from the meet popularadministration Freedom of speech and of the press is one of the proudestboasts of the English nation and it is safe to say that had the war oWes notheeded the first murmurs of disapproval they would ere long have raised ast rro of indignation that we have brought about the downfall of theSalisbury government

Chauncey I epew says he te enjoying life in Paris because he meetsonly persons that he knows It Is only fair to these to say that they probaly didnt see Chauncey first or even these meetings might be avoided

There were some long faces in Chicago university the other day when thenews was flashed across the wires from Cherryville Ran that a horse be-

longing to the Standard Oil company had been p ted by the heat

The loud complaint that tern c ties make about automobile scorchersmay be intended as a means of the weather man know that he isntthe only pancake on the griddle

The condesceskn of J Pferpuat Morgan In calling en King canbe appreciated now that some ona has discovered that the kings income Isonly a paltry 8000 a day

A Mr Lovt is in jail in Sedtdia Mo Up to the hour of going to pressthere had been no rei ort that he was doing any laughing at locksmiths

By AMBROSE BIERCE iCopyright f by W R Hearst

W we may believe our eyes in reading the London newspapers the EnglishI people are experiencing a lucid interval In the matter of the Nicaraguan

canal Apropos of iord Pauncefotes recent intimations en the subjectthese journals having presumably the wrrat of public opinion as they un-

derstand it are taking a very friendly tone to the discussion of our claimsto sovereignty over the canal that we pinrpese constructing If some of ourown people will be good enough to let us The Dally News for examplethinks that a wise diplomacy wmild make the Nicaraguan canal question agolden opportunity far strengthening the ties between the British people andtheir kinsfolk in the United States and is kind enough to add that thespecial nature of Americas own claim to predominance cannot be over-looked

Our special claim to predominance has been overlooked a good deal inthe past and by none more than toy our own administration SecretaryHay leading In the inattention and Mr McKlnley a good second Lord

relation to the scheme of the man behind the eye we can hardly expectanything better of it If all those excellent gentlemen are now disposed toa juster view of the matter it is probably because of a new light that hasbeen shed upon the subject by the United States senate Our claim to predominance may too have been lifted Into a new conspicuousness as viewedfrom the wrong side of the Atlantic fcy military events in South Africa anddiplomatic ones in China Great Britains need of one friend among nationshaving the means of friendship is enlightening After Transvaal shewill need rest for the storm foreshadowed inChina She cannot afford the luxury of another enemy Her need is our opportunity let the maundering sentimentallters say what they will there isnothing in the unwritten code of international morality foKblddlng us to getas good a price for our good will as we can Every practical statesman fa-

miliar with the conduct of large affairs would laugh at us if we did not itwould stir even the vestigial humor of John Bull himself In diplomacy senti-ment and justice are abstractions having a merely verbal existence

Says the London Daily MailProbably we shall find that Lord Pauneefote has consented to the forti-

fication of the canal by the United States the point upon which the previousnegotiations spilt and foundered

Consented is a disagreeable word it is immaterial whether he consents-or not But let that pass

The Mail addsBut on consideration it will be ear that it does not much matter to

Great Britain whether the canal is or unprotected by fortificationsBy their geographical position and more by the great fleet they are sorapidly creating the United States In any case are bund in time of war todominate the canal

That is very true but It Is cheaper to dominate it by fortification and afleet than by a fleet only We want a mighty navy but we do not want GreatBritains insistence imaginary rights to Itt the chief agency concerned incompelling us to have one However this apparent change in British public

tardy disposition to recognition of American rights Is mostgratifying If some miracle a corresponding disposition-in Messrs McKInley and Hay our satisfaction would be complete and enduring

The first performance of As YouLike It under thp trees at Calderspark drew from the overheated citya crowd which was at once large surprisingly representative jolly andgoodnatured and ready to enter withconsiderable spirit into the novelty

outdoor performance It Is the firsttime anything of the kind has beenprojected in Salt Lake with any success for Mr Frankels production is asuccess and the management deservesa good deal of credit for having accomplished a hard task under all sortsof adverse circumstances-

The stage was a complete greensward with boughs thickly clusteredoverhead and backed by scenery usedin former productions of comedy Inthe Salt Lake theatre The scene wasto say the least picturesque The audience was seatett on chairs canvasouting benches and circus seats alsounder the trees It was extremely Inconvenient for those in the open parquet to see the stage as neither thechairs nor the stage was elevatedThis will be remedied tonight by theraising of the seats

The cast of As You Like It Is along one and It was Impossible of courseto find talent sufficient in a local

to make up an allstarIt must be said however thatMr FrankeTs players gave as good aperformance as was expected eventhough it bore symptoms of a firstnight and some of the male membersof the cast moved with the grace ofa bird they call the elephant

Leona Linstead Mrs is acharming Rosalind John Lindsay readsJaques with his old Shakespearean fireand Harry Taylor handles Touchstone-in all ways acceptably These threeprofessionals stood out prominently Inthe cast almost too much so to sugseat the possibility of a balance Someof their scenes were warmly applaud-ed Especially was Mr Lindsay appreicated in his recital of the Seven Agesand the FosI the Motley FoolRosalinds best effort was her deliveryof counsel to Orlando when she dis-covers the lovesick youth in the forestOthers on the female side who

mention are Miss Mildred Lindsay who read Cella Miss Blanche

an instantaneous favorite inher little bit of character work Audrey and Miss Brockbank a very sweetshepherdess Messrs MIdgley CIteshold Sanders and Hovey seemed popular

The wrstling match between BThompson and JImme Ryan caughtfavor with those inclined to sports andthe interpolated solos of Alfred Best

My Dream of You and I Envy theBird were heartily encored

As You Like It will ba repeatedtonight and with the change In seating accommodations noted there shouldbe another large crowd in attendance

Kansas at that time was discussingthe strange manner in which the mem

of the family were lost to theworld Parties were made up eachweek from points near the Bendershome which visitedthe scene of thewholesale murders and it was on oneof these visits that Mr Adkins becameconvinced that the family had not es-caped from the country He made in-quiries of many familiar with the history of the family and Its sudden disappearance and he followed clew afterclew

Each bit of testimony that came toMr Adkins ears was closely sifted andhe gained many points on the case thathad not reached the publics ear MrAdkias continued investigations forfour years after the family had disappeared but he failed to learn anythingthat tended to throw new light on thenoted case until he made the acquaintance of an old town character wholived under the name of GovernorMortimer

Mortimer first refused to give anyinformation regarding the Bendersbut later on he hinted that the familywould never be found Then he de-clared that they were not alive andthat they had not come to a naturalend Mortimer told the story

Shortly after the disappearance ofDr York a brother of a member of theKansas legislature he said he withother citizens of the section put awatch on the Benders A small com-pany composed of friends of Mortimerwas placed under leadership of WilliamDick Nothing was seen that wouldhave caused the authorities to arrestthe Benders until Dr Yorks brotheralarmed at his disappearance followed the course of the doctors journey with the result that his dead bodywas found near the Benders farmShortly after this discovery the Ben-ders disappeared According to the po-lice they left the country but Morti-mer insisted they were followed by thebend under Dick which became a vigfiance committee

S S

The Bender family made desperateattempts to elude their pursuers hesaid but they were caught on thebanks of the Verdigris river Theweather had been extremely hot andthere had bern a drouth The riverhardly larger than a creek was al-most dry The committee after thecapture of the Benders held a JudgeLynch trial on the river bank Theprisoners were declared guilty and allfour members of the family werehanged The vigilantes burled the bod-ies in the bottom of the river at thedead of night and they were swallowed-up toy the sands coming down the riverwith the first rain

For of arrest the band kept thesecret of the disappearance amongthemselves until after the death ofDick When the leader died Mortimertold the story

If Governor Stanley of Kansas hasissued requisitions for the arrest offour persons at Fort Collins Colowho answer the of theBender family he he hasgone to a treat deal of trouble fornothing says Mr Adkina Had I thetime and If I knew the exact location58 the rive m which the family aresaid to have been burled I would almost stake my life that I could findenough of the bodies to prove thatMortimers story is true

ABOUT MOUNTAIN SHEEP

W T Hornaday Tells of a NswSpecies in the Klondike

CN w York SunThe paar entitled NOtes on the

Mountain Sheep of North Americawritten by William T Hornaday director of the New York zoological parkand just published by the New YorkZoological seciety describes a newspecies of mountain sheep recently dis-

covered In the Klondike country andcontains a great 6eal oftug these animals of tothe hunter

For many sportsmen the mountainsheep of the Rocky mountains Is theIdeal game The all but inaccessibleplaces in which the animal his

his marvelous agilityastonishing keenness of his per-

ception of the approach of a foe com-bine to make the quest of him the high-est type of sport

In addition there is the legitimatereason for killing the mountain sheepthat of all wild known there isno other whose so savory sojuicy and so nutritious and digestibleAnd fondness for mountain mutton isby no means con lined to man aloneThe wolves and grimly bears of theRockies that have once got to killingmountain sheep never set over thehabit

i JIt is from man of all their foes that

the sheep suffer and there isgood reason to in some re-gions at least they may meet the fateof the extinct buffaloes On this subfeet Mr Hornaday says Owing to the

that the surviving mountain sheepinhabit only the most remote and In-accessible regions the difficulty in affording them legal protection fromslaughter is very great Fortunatelyfor our wild public sentimentin of from ex

big horn ovis montana of our ownRocky mountains that had been knownfor more than a century In 1884 thepure white mountain sheep of Alaskaand northwestern Canada were described by E W Nelson and named ovls-dalll In honor of Professor William HDan of Washington Next in order ofdiscoverey came Nelsons mountainsheep oils of southern Cali-fornia In on an exploringexpedition in the Cassiar mountains ofnorthern British Columbia A J Stonediscovered the very interesting darkcolored species of mountain sheep described by Dr J A Allen In 1897 andnamed ovis stonei in honor of its dis-coverer Concerning the discovery ofthe last of mountain sheep thusfar Hornaday says

The dlscaxery of gold on the Klondike river Northwest territory has ledto the of still another speciesof which may justlybe regarded as the handsomest and themost striking in color markings pf allknown species of the genus ovis While-in Victoria B C last November theattention of the was called byJohn Fannin to and skull of amountain sheer which had been sent

Dawson City by Henry Was a specimen of ovis stonei

and presented by him to the Provincialmuseum An examination of the

revealed the startling fact that itrepresents a species absolutely toscience and so strikingly differentiated-as to render its title to independentspecific rank beyond question

The In the marking ofthe ovis as this newof mountain sheep is called inof John Fannin is that it anordinary mountain sheep brownblanket thrown over his back Thehead throat chest abdomen the

of the legs and a part of theof the animal are all snowy

white the entire body with these exceptions is a brownish gray Thismarking Is different from that of any

Sled loads of frozen carcasses ofthese sheep are often seen in the Dawson markets now and as the goldhunters have come to know the goodqualities of the meat the war uponthe sheep is growing every Bay moreactive

A J Stone of the American Museumof Natural History knows about asmuch concerning the difficulties ofmountain sheep hunting as any manliving probably and he has given anaccount of his experiences Mr StonesaysFive out of tiwentytwo specimensshot by me tumbled over precipitouswalls into inaccessible places and were

After a short while my white manand natives arrived and two ofdecided to go around and chasedown As they approached him downhe went apparently as lively as everand another chase took place lastinguntil the whfte man was played out

From the edge of the canyon I couldwatch every move the nativetried his smooth effectand I began to think the rem wouldget from him It climbed a deepcut between two high turrets in theside of the canyon wall nearest me andfound its way into a deep cavity in theside of one of the natural

lay Indian couldto the place but threw stones

at the poor beast until it ran outAs it left this big cavity It had

either to leap directly down fifteen ortwenty feet or pass out by the Indianand here is just where it displayed Itswonderful capabilities in a most dar-ing manner As it emerged from thecavity it crept along the wall which toall appearances was perpendicular andcontinued straight on for twentyfive-or thirty feet It then turned aroundand came bacy to the edge of thecavity and leaped down falling as itstruck the rock but it was im-mediately tip away seemingly as game as ever The Indian who

within a few feet of the animal atthe time said he could not seeanything in of a projection-on the face of the rot for the animal-to walk on nor could any of us do soat a distance of perhaps 200 yards withthe aid of powerful field glasses

I stood carefully watching everymovement of the animal and how itwas possible for it not only to walk onthe side of such a wan crippled as itwfca but actually to turn around andwalk back is beyond my comprehen-sion for I am sure there was no ptaoaon the face of the wall to which Icould for even a moment
