DANA's SARSAPARILLA CURES

Trainmen's and switchmsu's ouarrs,.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Grand Master Wiki
inson, of the brotherhood of Railway train
men, has issued circular giving the inside
history of the controversy between that
organization and the Switchmen's Mutual
Aid association, which eliminated in the
discharge of all the switchmen on the line
of the Chicago s. Northwestern railway.
The circular puts the switchmen's organi-
zation in bad light. 1t says: "Abous
two years ago the association began war Of
determination In the North western yards,
driving out two brotherhood men because
they would not Join the switchmen's order.
The persecution was kept up and last
March the discharge Of Frank McNerney,
yardmaster, at the instance of the switch
men opened anew the conflict The matter
was brought before the grand council of
the federation, but without result. At q
meeting of the representatives OF the
Switchmen's association it was said that
body claimed the right to coerce every man
in the switching service to become a MEM
Der of their association; the right to drive
from the service any man who does not pay
dues to the organization, and the right 10
say who shall De employed as yardmasters.
They claimed members of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen had no right in the
yards, and added the time is coming when
a man cannot work in any yard unless he il
q member OF the Switchmen's association"
Grand Master Wilkinson adds that fail
ing to get satisfaction from either the
switchmen or federation, the trainmen ap-
piled to the Northwestern management and
the result is known. He gives at length
the details of his negotiations from time to
time, and says on the part of the switch
men, its record was black with persecu-
tiOn defiance Of law and propriety, born
of envy at the success OF the trainmen.

Cache County Democratic Nominations.


LOGAN, Utah, July 16.-[Special telegram
TO The HERALD The Democratic legisla-
tive convention concluded its labors late
last night Harmony prevailed, and the
discussion was long and earnest The re-
suit was at length achieved with satisfac-
ton to the entire delegation. By the fol-
lowing ticket: For councilmen, First dis
trict-Joseph Morrell, of Logan.
For representatives, First district
Aquela Nebeker, of Rich county, and John
r Wright, of Cache county. This is a
strong ticket and gives universal satisfac-
ton.
The Cache county ticket is: For select
men-William Haslam and Thomas GrIf-
m.
For county superintendent of schools
T.. W. Greene. The Democrats of the
First Legislative district have no doubts of
carrying the election by handsome major
ity, and the county ticket is an equally
strong one The Democrats are working
in earnest in Logan now. The school cleo
ton has aroused the slumbering tiger OF
Democracy IN the north. and meetings are
held every night throughout the county.
The Republican arguments of Horn are
becoming laughing stock The e. o. p.
parade last night was a failure compared
with the monster Democratic procession
the night previous, and the Republican
speeches utterly failed to meet the points
at issue. The Democrats will parade again
Friday night, and have another monster
meeting with Messrs. Game, Norrell,
Dyer and others, from Salt Lake. Paul
speaks in the chief towns of the county this
week. The Democratic ranks are nlling
up and enthusiasm increasing. The north

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. ]

August Spies by proxy, was married to-
night to Stephano Maiata. The young
couple will go to Italy on their wedding
tour. Yesterday Malata called on Vice
President Bryan, Of the Worlds fair board,
with Nina aud asked for a commission.
After MIR. Bryan saia that no commissions
were given out now, Miss Van ZarGt intro
ouced herself and then she told Mr.. Bryan
how Spies had won her, story until then
untold. She haQ been TWO years At Vassar
college, she SAID, and was at home on a
vacation. At the time Of her marriage TO
Spies, Spies father was forester. Spies
himself was born out of wedlock, the child
of the baron's daughter. Nina's family
had known his mother in Germany and was
easily enlisted in her plot to save the
Anarchists neck. ''ais lawyers came to
my mother" Miss Van Zandt continued,
land told her that If an element of romance
could be thrown about August Spies 1t
might save his life if l would become
betrothed to him. For long time i would
not consent and then L consented. For sew

every hour torture and shame, and now

Il saw him so little. He was not insane.
He was a man of chaotic education-earn-
est, bslieve, and full of brilliaDcy, who
had gone the wrong way"
The story moved MIR. Byran to write an
open letter commencing MIR. Malata to
Italians in the name of the exposition.

RULED BY WOMEN
Such Has Been the Choice Of the
Secretary of State.
A YOUNG WOMAN BOOMING HIN
she Has Supplanted Gail Hamilton-she Is
Very Accomplished and Pretty-0f
French and Spanish Descent.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.1
New YORK. July ia Sun special from
Bar Harbor says: Mr.. Blaine has always
been fond of being managed by a woman
For years Gail Hamilton was his right
hand manager, and she dipped her pen in
vltrol for his enemies and in honey for
himself. Just why the redoubtable Gail,
who certainly rendered him most efficient
service, has been deposed, nobody knows,
but she has and her successor is now play
ing fast and loose with the Republican
party all over the country. She is getting
up boom for Blaine. 1t Is said this
woman has the advantage over Gail in
some things She may not be so torment
edIy smart as that doughty warrior, but
she Is young and she is pretty, two things
that no one ever laid TO the charge of Gail
Hamilton Favorable reports as TO Blaine's
health that have proceeded from Bar
Harbor ever since the secretary came here
have been such as would have bewiidered
even the minds of the faithful. These re-
ports, 1T Is now said, had ali been sent out
for purpose. These reports have come
straight from Stanwood and are authentic.
LII now transpires that the person rsspon-
sible for them all is young and
beautiful girl about nineteen years
Ole, who has handled Associated Press
der the name of a man and has been
silent mover and detective worker in diff
ferent political situations for four or five
years. Her name is Margherita Arlina
Hamm. She is of French and Spanish de-
scent; speaks three languages fuertly and
has been writing in American and French
magazines ard newspapers since she was
twelve years old. She is taken up here by
all the leading society people and is
special protege OF Mrs. w. c. Whitney and
Mrs. George Kidd, of New York. Her
grandfather was General Pierre Hamm, of
Canada, who was a great leader of the
Liberals in Canada about forty years ago,
and who wrote history of Canada JUST
how her first managerial connection with
the Blaine boom was made is not certainly
known Certain that it is that she landed
here when Blame himself did, that she dIned
at Stanwood and then went down to the
telegraph office and wrote out her uele-
grams 1t is now certain that all the favor
able reports about Blaine's condition have
been sent over the country by her. Rumor
says she is adistant relative Of Mrs. Blaine
and that is the reason she holsters up Mr..
Blaine's fortunes in everything she sends
out Rumor is also careful 10 add that her
connection with the affair is purely politi-
cal, second only to Blaine himself. Miss
hamm is the most talked about person at
present at Bar Harbor Meanwhile she
handles the Blaine boom for thirty papers
here as it suits herself and the plumed
knight.

wyandotte National Bank Fails

KANSAS CITx, Mo, July 1G.-The First
National bank of Wyandotte, or Kansas
City, Kan, suspended to day and is in the
hands of the bank examiner. President
Wilson is very reticent concerning the
cause of the failure and the condition of
the bank. He says. however, that the
assets are 100000 and the liabilities $780,
600. Much of the assets which were sup
posed to bs gilt-edged, are of such ma
ture, he says, as to prevent repid realiza-
ton. Last fall the bank becamed involved
in the affairs of the Hustled Investment
company and was in shaky condition.
The institutions at that time consolidated
with the Exchange National bank and was
believed to have tided over its difficulties.
IT is generally believed the liabilities are
considerably over 100000, inasmuch as the
city of Kansas City, Kans., has on deposit
in the bank about $4,000
