HOW APUZZLE WAS SOLVED.

When you want certain article, you want
the best make OF that article, don't you?
But how to determine which make is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved for You,
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't your
And you would like to hear Of one puz.
zle that has been solved for the people Of
the whole world, wouldn't YOU?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition Of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines Of
the world, including those of America, were
in competition. They were passed upon by .
jury composed of the best foreign mechan-
ical experts two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers Of France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the best Of all, and
awarded that company the highest prize of.
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
companies only gold, silver and bronze
medals.
The French Government, as further
recognition of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the COM
pany, with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor, the most priced honor of France.
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world in
favor Of the No. and No. 12 Wheeler 4
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No. IL,
for manufacturing uses, are the best in the
world to-day.
And now, when you want a sewing ma
chine, if you do not get the best, it will be
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the
No. Wheeler & Wilson machine, and il he
does not keep them, write to us for descrip-
tive catalogue, prices and terms.

S. Gumbinner, the wide-awake
agent of Selby & Co, Selby, Cal.
has been on a visit to the min
ing camps OF this vicinity, direct
ing attention of mine-owners to the
inducements offered by his COM
pany and the rare facilities pos
sessed for the reduction of ores,
Honesty is their motto, whereby
they make a legitimate business and
small margin in smelling and re-
fining ores, and they are the only
company that have stood the test OF
time and retain the patronage of
our miners. To assure the vender
of ores a just silver quotation, the
day ore arrives at their works on
cars, the quotations for that day
rule. BY this provision, the miner
cannot be defrauded. Let us COM
pare this straightforward business
style with that in vogue at sampling
works. The sampling works pay
the day of sampling, which means
that you wait their option, and
when silver is fiuctuating, they
always manage to quote you the
lowest figures of the week, the mar
gin they thus make often amount
ing to hundreds OF dollars.
Selby & Co. do an extensive bust
ness refining silver and gold bullion.
On an average they refine each
month 100000 OF. of silver and
81 ,250,00 of gold.
Selby d Co, as becomes their
business are the strongest advocates
OF free coinage in California.

to be used in defraying the ex-
penses. The following letter to the

SOME PERCENTAGES.

Up to date it has been impossible to learn
the political standing of all the deputy
registration officers appointed by the COM
mission. The commission seems to have
relied on the Liberal committees to name
the county registrars, and largely
upon the county registrars to name
the deputies. In some instances the
politics Of the deputies has not been indi-
Gated, though it is understood that in these
cases the parties are almost exclusively
Liberals. AS nearly as we can get at it, of
the almost $50 deputies appointed 60 per
cent. are straight Republicans, this large
counties where there are practically no
Liberals, although the counties are over
whelminRIy Democratic. About 80 per
cent. of the deputies are straight Liberals
although we notice that in some cases they
are designated as Liberal Republicans 81
which means nothing. The sppointees will
vote the Liberal ticket straight and work
for the party. Only 10 per cent. OF all the
deputies are Democrats. and we are in
clined to believe that these were appointed
because there were no Liberals or Republi-
cans in the precincts to do the work
How wickedly partisan these appoint
ments are becomes apparent when one re-
fleets on the numerical strength Of the re-
spective parties in the territory. The
Democracy have fully So per cent. Of all
the votes in Utah. 1t is confidently ex
pected that in November SO per cent. OF
the votes will be cast for the Democratic
congressional and county tickets. The
Democrats ara in control Of all but three
counties, and the indications are that at
the coming election two OF the three Will
fall into line. leaving but one to hold out
for another election. when that too will
become Democratic. Perhaps % per cent.
OF the voters Of the territory are today Re-
publicans. which party is steadily gaining
from the ranks Of the Liberals, and In
time viii absorb the larger portion of the
latter The Liberal voters number at
present IN the neighborhood Of 20 per cent.
OF the whole.
Thus, one viii readily grasp the Utah
