Last Nights RUNAWAY,

Last night at about 6 o'clock what
threatened to result in serious runaway
occurred on lower Main street. Afarmer
drove into town with span of work
horses on a lumber wagon. His little
10-year-old daughter was left to hold the
team, which seemed to spy something
strange in the shape of an unaccustomed
lamp post on street corner, and
started on a run The man caught
hold of one of the horses and
in trying to stop them he became
entangled and was thrown under the
wheels, which passed over him without
injury. The little girl sat down in the
bottom of the wagon-box and remained
there until the team ran into tree near
the corner of West Temple and Fourth
South street, when, half frightened to
death, she climbed out, sat down by the
side of the road and began to cry In a
few minutes her father arrived on the
spot, righted the outfit and started for
home

The Election Of School trustees.

1t was supposed by many that there
would be "circus'' at the Eighth Ward
Schoolhouse last evening upon the cleo
ton of school trustee, but as the Gentle
residents of the ward did not take enough
interest in the affair to assemble in force,
the Mormon taxpayers elected their can
didate, Mr.. Tuckfeld, oyer j. L. Raw
Inns, without any trouble. The vote was
81 to % in favor of the Mormon candi-
date, and as the Gentle part of the ward
is nearly equal in number with the Nor
mons. it was merely lack of interest on
the part of the Gentiles that caused such
I heavy defeat. In the Seventh ward
school meeting David Mckenzie, the
Mormon candidate, was elected over
Captain t. G. Bailey, the Liberal candi
date, by vote of 142 to 100.

Police Court Items,

The cases of Mark Murray, Harry Will
son, James Owen and William Dix, run
in by the officers for engaging in free
fight in the Horn Silver saloon, in the
basement of the Wasatch Block, have
engaged the attention of the Police Court
the greater part of yesterday and to-day.
S. H. Lewis appeared as attorney for the
defendants, and F. S. Richards assisted
in the prosecution.
From the evidence adduced, it is plain
that Mark Murray by engaging in fight
with William Golding and gouging his
eye, and in a drunken frenzy resisting
officers Malin and Bateman, was the
prime offender. Harry Wilson having
used chair to the immediate damage of
a glass door and knocking the glass into
officer Mains eye and cutting it badly,
is the next worst culprit. Although de-
nying any participation in the affair
further than being silent and unwilling
spectator, there was SO much evidence
against his testimony that it was not
generally believed
William Dix, from the evidence, mere
ly said ego for the id cops" and the
Judge ruled that he had aided and
abetted the assistance of the officers by
making the remark, although in his own
evidence he firmly denied having used
the language.
James Owen had taken no part in the
row, and as it was proven that he lad
made no resistance, he was discharged
from custody by the consent of both
ATTORNEYS.

HOW NOT TO SMILE.
Troubles Which Actors Endure IN
Keeping Their Faces straight.

'1sn't it marvellous" said one man to
another at the Academy one night not
long ago, chow that fellow on the stage
can say such ridiculously funny things
without allowing ripple OF a smile to
creep across his countenance 2"
''No, not marvellous exactly" replied
the other who was an actor, langudly
lowering his opera-glasses and curling. his
mustache sententiously, "but 1t requires
an immense amount of practice. 1t is
one of those arts which the public never
appreciate until brought into contact with
some chattering idiot who always laughs
first at his own jokes. Then the offense
becomes appalling. To keep from laugh
ing before an audience is difficult thing
to do, and often battles the most desper-
ate efforts of lecturers and actors. 10
save their soul they cannot choke of the
miserable smile that will come sneaking
over the face at the wrong time. Some
of the funny men have spent months OF
practice over this one thing. Mark
Twain explains that he doesn't smile
when cracking jokes because saying
funny things always makes him feel sad.
"The most successful humorist on the
stage is he who has an expressive face
which he can settle into a position of
calm and mournful despair the moment
the joke leaves his lips. The more
solemn the humorist the greater the
effect of his words Nothing pains or
dampens the enthusiasm of an audience
so much as to discover that the funny
man knows that he is funny. When he
laughs it makes them feel that he is sim
ply inviting them to do likewise in cold
blooded fashion, and that makes them
mad. They pay their money to see the
show, and they love to deiude themselves
with the idea that they are actually dis
covering the humor themselves, and that
they are laughing spontaneously.
"Many devices have been put in use
by actors and lecturers to keep from
smiling, but the simplest and most
effective is to put small wooden button
in the mouth and bite down on it every
time the impulse to laugh makes itself
manifest Some grit their teeth, or cringe
their toes, and Hughey Dougherty, the
famous minstrel, for a long time resorted
to the scheme of sticking pin in his
thigh. People who have not been on the
stage cannot imagine what agony it is to
attempt to keep from laughing For this
reason they cannot sympathize with that
graceful fellow up there as he glides
about with sinuous motion, alive with
suggestive gestures, and drops one excru-
ciatingly funny thing after another. Per-
haps he is hardened and can hold his
skin taut, but ten chances to one he is at
this very moment nervously clutching his
fingers, his leg muscles are contracted,
his scalp is itching with suspense, and he
would give 81 900 could he hold board
up in front of him and indulge in good,
square snicker.-Baltim0re Herald.

Solving the Silver Question.

The st. James Hotel was entered some
time last night, and lot of silverware
taken from a trunk. 1t seems that the
room, in which was a trunk with the sill
verware and lot of valuable clothing,
was accidentally left unlocked, and un-
known parties entered and took the sill.
verware, consisting of solid silver spoons,
forks, toothpicks, ETC., but did not modest
anything else, though there were many
valuable articles around. Mrs. Greene
valid having occasion to 60 to the trunk
this morning found that the lock had
been broken and the silverware removed.
So far there is now clue to who the per-
petrators of the robbery are. From all
the facts we could learn it must have been
some one that knew the whereabouts OF
the silverware before the robbery was
committed.

by the performance on the stage. He was a

had cost him four bits, but he believed he
had had seventeen dollars worth of fun.

THE STATE ROAD SHOOTING.
The ARRAY at the Club House Last
Night-KenneIly Not
Seriously Hurt.

Last night several horsemen, including
Tom Hall, Jim Kennedy, Monte"
Montgomery, Davis and several others,
met at State Road club house and en-
gagged in discussion about horses, races,
etc. In the discussion some bad feelings
were engendered, and hard words led to
harder blows, which finally terminated
in a shooting match, in which Kennedy
received flesh wound about one and a
half inches long on the right temple.
Dr. Benedict was called at about l
O'Clock. this morning and dressed the
wound, and this afternoon, upon being
interviewed, he informed a DEMOCRAT
reporter that Kennelly's wound is not
serious 1t is claimed that the wound
Kennedy received was accidental, the
shooter, Montgomery, having meant the
shot for some one else, Kennedy being
some distance from him at the time the
shot was fired
Inquiries at the City Hall elected the
information that no complaint had been
made, nor had any of the parties engaged
in the melee been arrested at the time we

grasshoppers or dig for bait, they took a

lines around the neck of the bottles and
let them float in Parley's creek. On

PLATFORM.
Adopted by the Democratic Torri-
torfal Convention, juno 10, 1854.

The Democratic party of Utah, IN Terri
accepted principles of the Democratic
party
l That all just powers of governments
are derived from the consent of the gov
erned; and in all cases where these powers
are ascertained and determined by decisions
of courts of last resort their judgments
are conclusive of all questions OF power
decided, and binding on every citizen, and
all attempts to call in question or oeIeat
them are factions and revolutionary, :.
2 That the public domain is the inherit
ance of the American people, and ought to
be held for the exclusive use Of actual set
tiers.
That all monopolies are inimical to the
liberties of the people and to republican in
situations; legislative grants OF vast areas OF
the public domain to corporations, OF late
years, under Republican administrations,
have vastly increased this public danger, by
aggrandizing the few and expressing the
many.
4 That separation of church and state IS a
fundamental principle adopted from the
light of experience in the establishment OF
this Republic.
5 That the common schools and all
educational establishments supported at
public expense ought to be independent
of all sectarian control and free from
all sectarian teaching, doctrine and
books.
6 That every citizen invested with the
right to vote, possesses the corresponding
right of exercising that franchise free from
the dictation or question of any one and
the enforcement of unanimity of voting
among its members by any so.called re-
ligious organizations is destructive of the
right of suffrage and subversive of free
institutions.
7. As further declaration of principles,
in respect to a subject of great and growing
importance to Utah and all surrounding
States and Territories an evil which is fore
ing itself upon public attention as factor
in National politics
Resolved, That it is the solemn duty of the
Government to provide a suitable law for
suppressing the practice of polygamy in the
Territories, and proper officials to enforce
it, that this gigantic evil, which has SO long
1ourished in spite of the zeal OF Republican
conventions and the apathy of Republican
administrations, shall cease.

arrived it was ascertained that the alarm
was caused by the too jealous actions OF
