CANNON'S FORFEITED BOND
Messrs. Sharp and Little Announce
That They Will Pay the $4,000.

LIE Grand Young, Esq, one of George
q. Cannon's attorneys, notified the court
this morning that the $25, 700 forfeited
bonds for which John Sharp and Fera-
morz Little are held as sureties, will be
fully paid over at the opening of the
April term of court, and that no suit or
dispute of any kind will be instituted for
the purpose of Sinking the responsible
tiles of the obligation.
Just what this delay of two weeks or
thereabouts, is intended for, does not
now appear, but that Messrs. Sharp and
Little fully intend to honorably discharge
whatever obligation stands against them,
regardless of whether reimbursement
from the Church or from any other
source comes to hand, is apparent.
1t was rumored to-day that Marshal
Ireland was intending to propose to the
bondsmen that they offer reward OF say
$1,000 for the apprehension of George 0.
This would still leave margin of SIC, 900
IN the amount already involved, and
there is little doubt but such a reward
would bring the Apostle speedily out of
his underground retreat. The general
feeling around the MarshaPs office.
SO far as we have been able
TO ascertain, is that second
reward from the Marshal's Office is
hardly worth the while The PROPOSE
ton to wait and use part of the bond
money when it shall have been paid in,
Tor covering such reward, is inconsist-
ent, because the forfeiture goes into the
United States Treasury and cannot be
disbursed at the option of the local court

Erie Mining District.

Ed. Criswell came in from Erie on
Monday last, says the Blackfoot idaho,
Reporter. He says that both he and his
parner, George Kunkle, were very much
surprised in the appearance of the town
OF Erie, when they had arrived at the
place; Instead of encountering mass
OF cabins built in irregular form and
shape, he found a well-built town con-
tanning at least dozen business houses.
The town is about seventy-fiye miles from
this place, and the roads are excellent
after the weather becomes settled. Peo-
pie were coming into the camp every dav
before ne left. The Horn Silver company
will put in new mill about the list Of
May. 1t is stamp mill, and the ore
being free milling, it is expected to an
sWer all purposes. Mr. Criswell did not
himself n visit the mines-only the town.
Everybody he saw who had a mining
claim seemed to think they had a big
thing. The camp certainly looks full Of
promise at the present time

What Grand Opera Costs.

The following facts concerning the sea
son of opera just closed at the New Yorl
Metropolitan Opera House will be founc
interesting. The largest audiences were
attracted by The Queen of Sheba," the
second representation of which drew
81 ,119.15 into the treasury, and upward
of 10000 persons have witnessed Gold
mark masterpiece. "Rienzi" comes next
in point of popularity, the largest receipts
for one performance being $4,O39.
Twenty thousand spectators have listened
to this opera, and about $4,000 have be-
held "Die Meistersinger." One hundred
and thirty thousand persons have visited
the Metropolitan during the season, and
the receipts of the fifty-two New York
performances will aggregate about $780,
600. Carmen" and "Lohengrin'' sum-
moned the smallest audiences of the
winter. To convey an imperfect idea of
the cost OF giving opera on the scale of
magnitude that has characterized affairs at
the Metropolitan, it is worth while stating
that as many as 700 persons have occa-
slonally been under pay in connection
with one performance that 4O5 persons
are on the regular pay roll of the estab-
llshment, and that the monthly expenses,
not including rent or OUTLAWS for music,
scenery or dresses, approximate $50 1000.

CHURCH PROPERTY.
BY Any Other Name ,Twil be the
Same-The Coming Boycott.

The work OF transferring the Church
property to safe keeping is progressing
briskly. 1t is reported to-day that all
stock in the Gas company, Salt Lake
Railway company and considerable other
collateral, has been sold to the syndicate
which purchased the Coop. stock. This
syndicate is said to comprise, among other
prominent men, Mayor Armstrong,
Judge Elias A. Smith, Apostle H. j.
Grant and others, and that the organiza-
ton has been made for the purpose.
among other things, of establishing a
bank with capital stock of 5000, 900. to
accomplish which sufficient money will
be borrowed on the church collateral
which drops into the hands of the svndi-
cate.
The object is, it is understood. to effect
number of such organizations under
the direction of which the banking,
mercantile and manufacturing interests
of the city will be monopolized, and that
as soon as such arrangements shall have
been perfected, a general boycotting
move will be vigorously inaugurated and
maintained against outsiders in all the
various branches OF business. In the
many of the older authorities
are quietly slipping off to Mexico.

Death of Mrs. DinwOOdey.

Mrs. Henry Dinwoodey, whose demise
has been hourly looked for during the
past ten days, died to-day at 1910. She
was the first wife of Mr.. Henry Din
woodey, who is now in the penitentiary
for unlawful cohabitation, and has been
known far and wide in Utah as "Auntie'
Dinwoodey. She was a lady of much
gentleness and nobility of disposition, and
OF late years had been a confirmed in
valid, scarcely being able to leave her
room. The deceased was something over
SO years of age, and dies childless.
1t is not known when the funeral will
be held, but an effort will be made to
have it take place tomorrow. Mr.. Din
woodey, who evidently entertains no
hopes of being permitted to attend the
services, sent word by Aurelius Miner
this morning that he wished the whole
affair to be placed in the hands of David
James.

A POSTMASTER BOYCOTTED.
The Inhabitants OF q Conhec'oH
Town Trying to Starve OUT
an official.

WASHINGTON, March ia special
agent OF the Postoffice Department has
been sent to Madison, Conn.,, to look
into case of boycotting. Itrappears that
the inhabitants of that place are dis
pleased with their postmaster, and as his
salary, belonging to the fourth class, is
regulated by the number of stamps he
cancels, they are determined to starve
him out. All the merchants in the town
are Republicans, and they have posted
notices in their stores requesting
the people to purchase stamps Of
them and leave their letters with them
to be mailed. Every time the train
passes through the town, clerks are sent
down to the station with packages of let
tiers to mail in the postal car, and turn up
4heir offensive partisan noses at the new
postmaster, who comes down with an
empty nag. There is law which re-
quires the mail agent on the train to re-
ceive all letters on which the postage is
prepaid, and there is no law to prohibit
the merchants from selling postage
stamps The agent is directed by Post
master General Villas to take necessary
measures to stop the boycott, but it is
difficult to see what he can do.

PROBABLY WANTED IN NEVADA.
The Presence of sheriff Fellows
May Have Caused Cannon to
Change His Mind.

The presence of Sheriff Fellows o.
Nevada at the court, here, on Wednes-
day, when the George @. Cannon trial was
expected to be opened, is said to have its
explanation in the fact Of his being a
witness in the case. This is the only
theory that has been offered voluntarily,
but it was not generally accepted. 1t
seems absurd to picture Sheriff Fellows
as a witness in the unlawful cohabitation
case against Cannon, as the gentlemen
never met each other until the sheriff
made the arrest in the "Santa Clara" at
Humboldt station, and he was certainly
equally unacquainted with Cannon's
family
Last evening statement was overheard
which throws little light on the subject.
In conversation about the flight of the
Apostle gentleman made the remark
that Cannon had been advised of an in
dictment for bribery, which Sheriff Eel
lows brought with him from the Sage
brush State, and that it was arranged so
that on the appearance of Cannon in
court he would be arrested on this more
serious charge, and either taken to
Nevada or secured by some legal arrange
ment with Marshal Ireland by which, at
the expiration of the term or terms in
this penitentiary, Cannon could be trans
ferred to Winnemucca.
These facts having come to the knowl-
edge of the Apostle, it is said he con-
cluded at late day to skip, or at least to
keep away from the courtroom What
ever there may be in the reputed object
Of the sherif's visit here, there will not
be found a great many people who will |
believe the excuse for Cannon's disap-
pearance. These facts may have in
creased his fear and added fresh strength
to his determination to take advantage of
cut rates, but certainly nothing
more than this.
Sheriff Fellows, himself, insisted that
ne was here as witness, and had very
little to say on the Cannon affair which
aas not already been published He left
or his home Yesterday afternoon.

Industrial Christian Home Association

Industrial Christian Home Association.
| EDITOR DEMOCRAT: A little history of
the work of the ladies of the Industrial
Christian Home Association will be of
interest to your readers. About the first
of March Miss Angie F. Newman came
to Salt Lake, and in connection with Mrs.
Paddock commenced agitating the ques-
ton of building such a home, They got
the endorsement of all the Federal
officers Except the Governor, and he
promised them his, bnt failed to give it
them), the Church ministry and many of
our best citizens. The ladies then went
to the editor of the Tribune for counsel.
He told them to get their papers in shape,
and have the Association appoint two
ladies delegates to represent them in
Washington and ri will take the re-
sponsibility upon myself of raising the
money to pay your expenses"
The ladies went at the work with will,
organized and Incorporated. In the
meantime, they appointed Chaplain
Jackson, Rev. McNiece and one lady to
aid in securing the necessary funds for
the trip. One of the committee went to
the editor OF the Tribune and made some
inquiry about the funds. The editor re-
piled that che was attending to the work
himself" The committee then left the
matter in his hands. When the incor-
poration was completed, and the ladies
to start in the morning, one of
the committee went to the editor and
asked him for the funds for the ladies. |
He replied that che had not done any,
thing in the matter" and "that he would |
leave the next morning for. Wash
ington himself" It is presumed that
he could not use the ladies as
ne expected to be able to, in further
ing some appointments for Utah, and he
lid not want them in Washington. 1t is
said that he goes in the interest of some
II the hold-over officers, although the
money was raised for another purpose.
All the same, the ladies' are on their way
East, but if they get to Washington they
will pay their expenses themselves.

THEY FEEL BAD OVER 1T.
A Threatened Church Boycott
Dampens the Governors
AppOintees.

Mr.. Bolivar Roberts, the new Terrific
rial Treasurer, was noticed this morning
to wear an expression of alarming des.
pondency, and being asked by our reporter
what secret sorrow was gnawing at his
vitals, the gentleman, with parson-like
soberness, answered:
81 have been worrying % over the
assault made upon me by the Deseret
News last night Just think OF it, young
man; here have been in Salt Lake City
for thirty-five years past, and now am
to be boycotted. Why, in the very early
days here, when 1 had a mercantile
stand on Main street, | have
seen Church dupes stand at my store
door and adroitly advise customers from
entering, lest perchance | might be bene
fitted while kicking against the pricks.
They may well talk about boycotting me.
Then, l am threatened too, that as a
bogus appointee' if 1 persist in my
course shall not have much claim on
public favor when "a change comes over
Utah affairs This is SO alarmingly
shocking, this is. Just picture the pub
lie favor 1 have received during those
years in Utah; why you know,
yourself, how offices have been thrust %
upon me, and how 1 have been smiled
upon also in my peevishness. Now,
you know l am not much of
a grumbler and no radical either,
but the prospects of losing public
|avor-of the Mormons-and being boy
,otted in my business-this is too much
or poor, weak human nature, and you
will excuse me if I seem to succumb. |
And there's poor Pratt, too, why his liver
s dreadful this morning. l don't know
tut he may possibly weaken and retire."
These expressions were spoken in
humorous and ironical tone and manner
hat would have done honor to the late
Josh Billings.

in that vicinity for some weeks, and
claims to have made some very valuable

500 per ton gold and silver. Further
developments will be made as soon as the
weather permits. A number of miners
from Utah are there and others are ar
