This closed the testimony and Mr.. Hilcs
asked that Laehr be held for battery Rid
die did not seem to be very badly mixed up
in it. He would not ask that any order be
made in reference to the latter.
Mr.. Kinney objected to Laehr being held,
even for battery and asked, that both the
defendants be dismissed.
The commissioner thought Laehr should
he held for assault and battery, but dis
charged Riddle. Bonds were fixed at 300.

ably been attributed to the fact that it had
em again Those within the inner circle,
however, alone knew the real facts in the
case, and they are now being given to the
public for the first time. just prior to the
opening of the August campaign, some of
the more enlightened of the Liberal leaders
there began to think a little. They held little
private caucuses one with the other or
where several CHANGED to meet together
The subject for debate was: Didn't we
make mistake in putting up so much
Doodle for the Tribune at the former cleo
ton? Were the results commensurate with
the money expended!' One by one they
became converted to the idea that the
money invested had been, to use mild
phrase, thrown away--to be vulgar, it had
been productive of about as much good as
though it had been poured down a rat hole
The result Of the deliberations was d con-
clusion that no more money would be
forthcoming for the August election. And

universally known that the Tribune made
considerable money out OF the Ogden city
election. 1t was the champion of the
Liberal cause at the time, it is true, but it
was very well paid for it. l do not know
that the articles it published at that time
were paid for at so much a line, but do
know that the money paid to it by the
Liberal committee would have covered
every line it published in our favor at good,
stiff advertising prices Then the city
council and all the Liberals were, if one is
to take the Tribune files for it, gentlemen of
the highest standing-men with whom the
reins of government could be safely en-
trusted-in fact were American gentle
men in all that that term implies. But
later on a change came DER the spirit of
their editorials and locals. If you will OBJ
serve closely, you Will discover that this
change commenced to assume shape Just
before the August election. Just after the
election the sheet was especially
severe, and abused every man. woman and

friends and supporters. To those who have

Two men sat in front of the Continental
hotel yesterday, deep down in easy
chairs, with their feet at such an eleva-
ton and angle as to screen themselves
from the passers-by. Both appeared
deeply interested in each other. The
smaller one of the two was indulging in
one of the fragrant weeds from the
neighboring bar; the other showed symp-
toms of moisture about the eyes-caused,
doubtless, by the smoke from the cigar,
which was, probably, of slightly better
quality than he had been used to in his
native village. The latter was

The gentleman from the junction city had
not been in the metropolis for a year or
more past and was very deeply impressed
with the progress 1.-THE village on the Jor-

ferred to the Progress block, lions Saw

big buildings on Commercial street, and the
other evidences of thrift and prosperity on

But you are doing very well in Ogden,
are you not !''
ooh, yes, certainly. We are progressing
just as fast as we deserve to go, but will
grow still faster before year has passed
over our heads.n
The HERALD man was pleased to hear
this. The subscription list of his paper
had doubled in the junction city within a
year, and the more Ogden advanced the
greater the list promised to swell. This he

At One Time the WORLDS Greatest
RnsRO.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 15.--Karl
Formes, the well known baritone and
bass ginger and music instructor, died
today in his S0th year.
[Charles John Formes was born In
Muhlheim, Germany, August Z, 1910;
received his musical education in Cologne
and Vienna, and sang in church choirs
until 1841, when he attracted attention
in Cologne as concert singer. His ap-
pearance in opera soon followed, and in
1843 he became q member of the Mann
helm theater, and in 1874 joined the opera
in Vienna. In 184e he made his FIRST
appearance in London, with German
opera company at Drury Lane. In
1850 he became a member of the italian
opera of Coyent Garden, and in the
came year sang at the Philharmonic con-
certs. At this time it was the opinion OF
critics that for volume, compass and
sonorous quality, Formes' deep bass was
altogether unequaled. His stately
presence and intuitively fine dramatic
action, both in comedy and tragedy,
added to the completeness OF his repre-.
sentations. In 1867 he cane to the
United States, making his FIRST appear
ance in Robert le Diabh at the Academy
of Music in New York City. He subse-
quently sang with much success in all
the principal cities of the Union. After
time his representations suffered from
carelessnees, and his business affairs
seemed to lack proper management; his
voice also was impaired by frequent
hoarseness and habitual fatness Of iu-
tonation. These conditions lost him
pre.emiuence, and his las: years in New
York City were spent as teacher of
vocal music. Of late years Formes re-
sided principally in the West.

The suicide of Mr.. Gowen is one OF
the most inexplicable things of the age,
and shows that no matter how prosper
GUS, respected and influential man may
be, the skeleton in the closet may still
exist for him as for his less prosperous
fellow men. Another great railwsy Pres
ident, Sir Morton Peto, committed suicide
some years ago, but he was swindler and
q bankrupt, neither of which malign dis
tinctions seem to attach to the deceased
Pennsylvanian.

WE CANNOT forbear congratulating the
people of San Bernardino county on their
enterprise. They intend, on the let of
February. to open special exposition Of
their own products in the city of New
York. We beg to suggest that this is an
example that the great and opulent
county Of Los Angeles might initiate
with great profit, unless our people have
settled down contentedly to the idea that
our claims are SO overshedowing that
they need no advertising. Here is an
opportunity for our capitalists to come to
the center. They certainly ought not to
permit themselves to be outdone by our
sister county.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Decemper 15.-A rer-
resentatiye of the Associated Press called
tonight at the home of John Culver. the
supposed objecting Juror in the Cronin
case, and had an interview with his wife.
who has been charged, in the Chicago
papers. with having had secret and
presumably improper, epnyersation with
her husband before the Jury retired. The
family is greatly agitated over the re-
ports in the papers.
Mrs. Culver told Of her actions on Fri.
day, saying she sent her aon down town
in the morning to tell Bailiff Santa,
whom she knew well, that che would not
take dinner with her husband as she
had been accustomed to do. In the
afternoon, when che saw her husband,
Bailiff Santa stood right beside them and
heard every word they eaid. She only
spoke Of not having come down to din
ner, etc. She did not enda1ror to hold
any private conversation with her hus-
band. ,a, ssas..,s .,sss s.a +
In regard to the insinuation that her
husband had been sbribed, she said she
had never spoken to any agent of the
defense, and had ney er had any con-
versation with her husband which che
would hesitate to make public.
81 do not believe" she added, "there
| is man on earth who could bribe Mr..
Culver. do not know his position in
the case. do know that my son
and my husbands partner met States
Attorney Longenecksr tonight, and that
that gentleman expressed himself con-
fident Of my husbands integrity. Mr..
Culver is very determined man, and
| if he believed he was right he would
stick it out in spite of the whole world.

They Must share Their Lands
with other Tribes.


with other Tribes.
KANSAS CRY, December 15.-The act
under which the Cherokee Commission
has been negotiating for the purchase of
the Cherokee "outlet" by the United
States Government, permits them to
arrange, in the event of failure to effect
a purchase, for the removal of
other Indians from their reservations
in Indian Territory to the Cherokee ma
ton, as provided in Article Is of the
treaty of 1866. The commission has
concluded that it is useless to carry on
further negotiations with the Cherokees
for the purchase of their lands, and is
now arranging for the removal of other
Indians to the unoccupied Cherokee
lands.
The commission will notify Chief
Mayes of this decision and will ask him
to file his objections in the Presidents
Office, if he has any. The matter is left
entirely with the President, and If he
considers the objections invalid he may
order the removal of the Indians as in
dicated, whenever he desires, after the
latter have sold their lands to the Gov.
ernment and signified their willingness
to move.
OF the Indians who have signified
their willingness, there are the Sacs and
Foxes, Cheyennes and Arrapshoes,
Wichitas, Comanches, Ottoes, Shawnees,
Miamis, Kickapoos, Poncas and Paw
nees.
Accommodation for most Of these
tribes can be found in unoccupied
Cherokee lands. AS soon as they are re-
moved thither their reservations will be
opened to settlement, and almost as
much land be thrown open to the public
as would have been available had the
commission succeeded in purchasing the
Cherokee lands.
