The dumb cake is favorite Halloween
charm in some of the northern counties OF
England. 1t must he made between the
hours OF IL and midnight, by any num-
Der OF young women. each of whom must
place handful of wheat -four on a sheet
OF white paper, and sprinkle it over
with as much salt as she can hold
between the finger and thumb. Then one
OF the party must make it into a dough,
nelng careful not to use spring water.
Each young woman must then roll up the
dough. spread it out thin and fat. and
mark her initials upon it with a new pin.
The cake being then placed before the
IRE, all must take a seat as far from it as
possible. This must all be done befo re
IL p m, and between that time and
Midnight all present must turn the cake
once. When the clock strikes IL the
husband OF her who is to be married first
will enter and lay his hand upon the part
OF the cake marked with her name
throughout the whole proceeding not q
word must be spoken; hence the name,

But this is not all there is to Hol>
lowe'en. In this practical day and age
the average small boy has no care wheth-

seeing whether his lover is true or not ne
takes off few gates and commits other
acts of vandalism. Halloween might
mean lots Of work fo- the policeman.

Something Useful.

Probably the most useful
thing I have received this fall,
is an alcohol lamp, stand. and
kettle, all brass, which I am
now showing. 1t is pretty
enough to be ornamental, and
cheap enough for any one. For
the SICK room, or for any one
who wishes to heat say a quart
Of water at a moments notice,
they are just the thing.
With them, also just in, a
new and not expensive line of
8 o'clock teas.

Rack Island Da.rymen Will shave Up
the Pr. ce In the Morning.
Rock Island dairymen have determined
to raise the price of milk again.
Commencing tomorrow morning con-
sumers will be Obliged to pay Ct cents
pei quart TO banded milk dealers or own
a COW of their own. Several years ago
the people Of Rock Island were required
to pay Ct cents. a price higher than any
other city 10 this part of the country, bu,
the rate was afterwards reduced to the
standard five cents per quart. But the
dairymep hsve seen the necessity OF
showing up the price again, and they
have found away to do it by binding them
selves together for that purpose.
"You can announce" said Dsirymar
Ed. Jens this morning. THAT milk goes
up to 81 cents per quart commencing to-
morrow morning. We have got to make
the raise and all the milkmen in the cit,
have sgreed to il"
In answer to an inquiry as to the reason
OF the rasa, Mr.. Jens said:
Milk is scarce and feed is high"
When asked if the price Yves not higher
than that observed in other cities, Mr.
Jens replied that he did not think so. and
as far as that was concerned the milkmen
ought to have 10 cents quart to do any
kind of business

Coalville brass band furnished ap-
prnpriate music during the, evening.
L. L. Randall, Esq., Of Upton, called the
meeting to order. J. E. Bromley, ESQ.
was chosen chairman and A. H. Addy was
elected secretary. The chairman. in 9
brief speech In which he stated he had
voted the Liberal ticket for the past
twenty years, introduced the
HON. r. S. RICHARDS
as the speaker of the evening. Mr.. Rich
ards said that he felt somewhat embar-
raised by reason of the absence of the
Hon. J. L. Rawlins, who had been an
nounccd as one Of the speakers for the &C.
cssion but who was prevented from being
present by reason Of legal engagements.
Mr.. Richards set forth in a very clear and
f0rcible manner the points upon which the
two great political parties are divided He
related in an interesting way the princi-
pies advocated by the Federal and anti
Federal parties in the days of Hamilton
and Jefferson and illustrated by events
from political history the difference be-
tween the party Of strict construction and
that Of loose construction. The speaker
handled without gloves the Ubiquitous
Force bill of the last Congress, and
closed q two hours speech in showing
the fallacies Of protective tariff, that the
Mckinley bill does not protect American
labor, but the protection Is held over the
ones who need the least protection, the
manufacturing capitalists, and that the
bread winners portion Of the tariff is
small as compared with the manufac
turer's. Mr.. Richards address was
listened TO with marked attention and was
frequently and vigorously spplauded.
After the close of Mr. Richards speech
the thirteen young ladies, under the direc-
ton Of Mrs. Bessie Dean Allison, sang

EXPRESS MESSENGER SHOT.
Hyrum s. Hyde Narrowly Escapes Death by g
Tramp's Pistol.

Hyrum 8. Hyde Narrowly Escapes Death by .
Tramp's Pistol.
Among the messengers Of the Pacific
Express company there 10 NO drawer nor
more fearless agent than Hyrum S. Hyde.
He fills the double position of express mes
senger and baggage man.
On Monday night as the train due to
leave Milford at $50 hauled out, two
trsmps boarded the platform of the ex-
press with the intention OF stealing a ride
to this city. When the train was mile
and nalf this side of Milford, the con-
ductor discovered the Migrants, checked
the train and called Messenger Hyde to his
assistance to put them OF. The tramps
were not disposed to yield their standing
groand and showed fight. Hyde pitched
his man on the platform and was about to
make quick work of the other who was en-
gaging Conductor John kidder in lively
tussle, when be suddenly found himself in
contact with pistol In the hands OF one of
the tramps. During the tussle which en-
sued the gun went OF. The bullet passed
through Hyde's coat in the region of the
waist, slightly grazing the skin. In another
second the brave expreSsman had wrested
the pistol from the grip OF the desperate
and sent him fioundering over the car steps
TO the ground. Toe conductor and messen-
ger were on top of him As soon as he struck
terra firma ana gave him a sound beating
The tramps were allowed to escape, but
the one who pulled the gun will carry a
scalp wound the length of his pistol as long
an he lives, as Hyde struck him fearful
blow on the head when he wrenched the
deadly weapon from his hands.
A brakeman who came to the rescue on
seeing the gun drawn is said to have shown
the white feather and skunk away beside
the car.
Messenger Hyde brought the revolver
with him and says the tramp can have it
by calling at the Pacific Express COM
pany's office.

THE SUGAR PLANT
Machinery to Move by Septem-
Der l5, Sure.
A BIG ACREAGE OF BEETs
When the First Sack Of Sugar 10 Made, the
Company VIII Have spent
si25, ZOO.

''Will the sugar plant be in operation by
September IL" was the query put to Hon.
Francis Armstrong, who has been one Of
the most active workers in the new enter
prise which bids fnir TO add to Utah's fame
as . manufacturing center.
"No. l think not We have assurances,
however, shat by the 18th Of that mouth
the mammoth machinery will be in readi-
ness to move"
''Of course, that viii be big day for
Utahl"
"It will be big day. and we shall SEQ to
It that 1t 10 duly and fttingly celebrated.
The work Is going ahead just as fast a.
possible. Fifty men have been employed
TO date, because that II aii that could be
now been made, however, whereby the
force will be increased to ono hundred
men, and work will be prosecuted day and
night. The electric light plant will be
ready for use In very short time.
1.-THE magnitude Of the enterprise" con-
tinued Mr.. Armstrong, lis something out
few people have any idea OF. Think OF 100
carloads Of machinery being used, to say
nothing of the mammoth building aud
other appurtenances."
AS to the beet outlook"
at could not be better. So fer %
have been able to learn, not less than 2, 800
acres are now under cultivation, and this
season has been very favorable to the Gull
ture of the sugar beet Mr.. Dyer, who
has charge of the works, says he never
saw anything superior in California. The
farmers, too, have taken hold Of tho idea
of beet culture In earnest, and many Will
double, treble or auadruple next year the
acreage they devoted TO beets this year."
'.And rs to the cost Of the plant, when
ready to begin work."
"By the time the first sack Of sugar has
been made the outlay will have been not
less than e425. 000."

His Jokes are AppIauded and the Mention
Of The herald IL Greeted with
Genuine Ovation.

distance lends enchantment to the
view.n II this be true Of inanimate OBJ
iects, it Ii still more true of the average
human being. Many man has gained
nosoriety, IL not fame, By keeping alcof
from the vulgar herd; many q mans ST.
lence on topics he knew nothing Of, has
passed for wisdom.
1t 10 when the mouth is opened that the
foot il liable TO drop into 1t, especially
when the mouth is larger than the foot.
II ex-Congressman Horr had never sd-
dressed Salt Laks audience, he would TO.
day stand much higher in the estimation of
those OF our citizens who respect the men
that served the people in the highest M
doaal councils.
= Mr.. Horr dissipated this sen timent en-.
tirely by his speech in the theatre lsst
night, and he failed not only to convert
any Democrats as was hardly expected by
those who imported him, but he dis
appointed . great number Of Republicans.
II there could be anything worse than
Mr.. Horr's politics, 1t would be his gram
mar. His references to "Me and Springer,
We're loudly applauded and hugely en-
1oyed.
And the speaker seemed to enjoy all the
laughter and all the applause-not

term-that most Of IL was at his own ak

Oue-half Of Mr.. Horr's speech was con-
sumed in m attempt 70 refute some state
ments made by THE HERALD's Ogden cor
respondent and when he referred to the
sGiant Of the Rockies" a 80 great news

plause.
