'. Col." Pickett Peyton, in address¬ing a delegation of the Chiistian En¬deavors at Ogden whilst on their wayto California, said of Utah : " In everysunbeam God's smile is caught and re¬flected *, the mountains tower In som¬bre grandeur and the valley floats awayin verdure greenness, while the air is sorarefied and clear that a mountain fortymiles away appears to be only ten andan old maid of forty winters looks likea sweet girl of twenty summers."

Lynching Foiled.Ever since the termination of thetrial of E. S. Shuo for the murder ofwife and his conviction of murder'in the first degreo with a recommenda¬tion by the jury that his punishment he

imprisonment, there have been whis¬perings and rumors that mob violencemight be a possibility.a portion of ourcitizens insisting that the death penaltyshould have been imposed. On Sundaylast this sentiment crystalized and asmall mob was gathered in MeadowBluff district for the purpose of com¬ing to the county jail, taking Shue outand hanging him. It seems that thecampground, eight miles west of town,was appointed as the rendezvous and 100 clock at night as the time for thelynchers to assemble. Mr. CJcorgc M.liarrah, who lives in that neighborhood,got wind of the affair Sunday after¬noon and he mounted his horse and car¬ried the information to Sheriff Nickell,who was at home at Meadow Bluff..Mr. Nickell and Mr. Hurrah thenstarted for Lewisburg, and had to passthe campground where the lyncherswere to assemble. When they arrivedthere, which was about t» o'clock, sev¬eral of the mob were already there..1 bey passed by safely but were recog"nized. Several minutes later four ofthe mob pursued and after an excitingchase overtook them, presented pistolsand demanded that they stop. TheSheriff drew his pistol and was in theact of firing when he recognized his as.sailant, and not desiring to hurt or killhim concluded to try moral suasion..llo and Harrah surrendered and weretaken back to the residence of Mr. D.A. Dwyer, where, after considerableparleying, the Sheriff succeeded in in¬ducing them to disband and return totheir homes. They were provided witha stout new rope, were armed withWinchesters and revolycrs, and num¬bered from ten to twenty, as far ascould be seen.the most of them keep¬ing in the background in the shadowsof the trees.The prisoner Shue, however, would

have been safe had they come on totown. A fishing party, coming fromBig Clear creek, had passed the camp¬ground before sundown and in someway got an intimation of the intendedlynching. They notified Deputy Sher¬iff John G. Dwyer, who took the pris¬oner to a place of safety in the woods amile or two outside of town.The authorities have taken steps to

identify and arrest the lyuchers, andmost if not all will sooner 01 later bein the toils of the law.Shue was taken to the penitentiary

Tuesday morning in the custody ofSheriff Nickell and Deputy Dwyer.

"The sample contains 4li,7 per cent, of Alcohol try weight.It leaves on evaporation a fixed residue representing 102 grains perwine gallon, of which 4.1 grains is mineral matter.

The acid present is equivalent to .11 per cent, counted as acetic acid.Ainylic alcohol is present to the extent of a mere trace only.Tannin in minute amount, and a little of a caramel-like or 44 extrac¬

tive" substance are present, also ethers in minute quantity.No Sulphates. No heavy metals, such as copper, lead or
