There's a good deal Of
guarantee business in the store
keeping of to-day. It's too
excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means moth
ing. Words 0uLy a0oyas.
This offer to refund the
money, or to pay a reward, is
made under the hope that you
won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the
reward. OF course.
So, whoever is honest in
making it, and works -not on
his own reputation alone, but
through the local dealer whom
you know, must have some
thing he has faith in back of
the guarantee. The business
wouldn't stand year with
out it.
What is lacking is conf
dence. Back of that, what is
lacking is that clear honesty
which is above the average
practice"
DR.. Pierce's medicines are
guaranteed to accomplish what
they are intended to do, and
their makers give the money

speaker then analysed the Chinaman as
we know him here. He said that he is
intellectual: that his cranial outline will
compare favorably with that of the
white man; that he is frugal,
sagacious, persevering; that he is
better than the hoodlum element
of San Francisco. which has so often
heaped indignity upon HIM. 1.-THE
Chinee." said the speaker. Us a liar.
He has no regard for an oath. He is a
natural tn ief. He is treacherous, law
less, inhum an and untilial. All he cares
for the Americans is to win their dol
lars. One of the dangers to fear was
unrestricted immigration. He said that
eXpellant forces were at work in Eu-
rope to drive the scum to America, and
transportation is easy and cheap. He
thought every foreigner should learn to
parse the sentence, "If any man at
temptS to haul down the American flag,
shoot him on the spot"
Socialism he pronounced the second
danger signal. Socialists. he said, are
always crying equality" and division
of wealth, regardless of Gods divine
will establishing inequality. Lincoln
and Garfield, said Mr.. Morrill,. we're vic
tins of socialistic bullets. He declared
that Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, in pardon
ing the Haymarket anarchists, had
placed premium on deviltry, and Car
ter HarrlSon's murder he believed to be
the outgrowth of this act, encouraging
anarchy and criminal possibility. He
believed there were plenty of red
handed anarchists Or socialists in both
st. Paul and Minneapolis, who were
waiting TO see what should be done with
Carter Harrlson's assassin, to base their
conduct accordingly.
The third danger signal to our
institutions he pronounced TO he Nor
monisln, of which polygamy is only an
adjunct. He said that the Edmunds
law is not enforced in Utah for political
reasons, and that even now President
Cannon. of the Mormon church, is living
unblushingly with three women, each
of whom he calls wife.
The fourth danger signal he said was
saloonism. He believed in scientific
temperance, the Kelley cure and Chris
tan influences to combat the evil. Il
cannot vote with the Democratic party
because they go IL Oh the sea of free
whisky; nor with the Republican party,
because they try to sit on two stools at
once, and fall between them; nor with
the Prohibition party, because they say
do not work in the same lines with
them" He thought that in the whole
five political parties there is not the
fifth part OF one good party.
Rev. Mr.. Morrill, pronounced himself
in favor of female suffrage, and ad-
vanced arguments therefor. when
American women can vote" he said,
they will control the elections, as they
can hold the balance of power" He
paid high compliment to Frances E.
Willard, calling her 1.-The uncrowned
American queen" and closed with a
beautiful tribute to the stars and stripes.

for the improvements mentioned as soon
as the plans were completed. This was
sent to the committee on streets.
The resolution vetoed by Acting
Mayor Hickman was passed over the
veto by vote of to 2, the acting
mayor and Aid. Zimmerman being the
ones to stand by the veto. The resolu-
ton directs the placing in the budget
Tor 1894 OF an amount sufficient to light
with gas lamps Summit and University
avenues, Rice and other streets. The
acting mayor gave as his reason for the
veto, that the expense, which would be
from $4,000 to $1,000, was too great at
this time. 1t was explained that the
lighting of the streets by gas would not
exceed s., 900. and this probably had to
do with the passage over the veto.
The letter from the mayor notifying
tue board OF the discharge of Daniel
Meig han from the police force, "for the

ordinance being necessary for the prop

continuance until Saturday morning at
10 O'Clock. and as the attorneys for the
prisoners made no objection the court
so ordered. The prisoners were handed
over to deputy sheriff and taken to
the Jail, Judge Twohy stating there
would be no bail.
The police and detectives who have
been working on the case have sue
ceeded, so they claim, in securing a
deal of evidence which connects the
twain with the murder of Herda. 1t is
stated by the officers that revolvers
were found on both men at the time OF
their arrest. and that the one found on
the person of Fisher, or Rice, as he says
his name is, was loaded with cartridges
of the same kind as the unexploded one
found on the floor of Valek's saloon
after the murder by PatrOlman Joe
Davis. Friends of White and Rice
claim there were no revOlvers found on
the men at the time of their arrest. and
the police is one which was found the
morning following in the yard of
residence on Rice street, block from
where they were arrested.
VaIek, the police claim, informed
them that the revolver which was point
ed at him by one of the men. who he
has since identified as Rice, was rusty
at the muZzle, and this is a marked
popularity of the revolver found in the
yard Oh Rice street. The cartridge
found in the saloon, after the shooting,
he
volver now in the possession of the
police, and the appearance of the
cartridge would indicate that an effort.
had been made 10 discharge it. A trial
is to be made to discharge the cartridges
found in the revolver, which. it is.
claimed, Rice threw away when ar
rested. and if. as is expected. the ham,
mer of the revolver makes the same
dent as that on the bullet found i'll the.
saloon, this will, the officers claim, be
another link in the chain of evidence
against the men.
The third man, who escaped from
Patrolmen Sweeney and Brennan at the
time White and Rice were arrested, has
not been captured as yet, but Chief
Garvin claims the fugitive is Henry
Ha ckett, better known as Freddy"
Hackett. and that his arrest is only a
matter of few days. -
In order to have case against White
and Rice il the murder charge should
fall through. the men were taken TO the
grocery of August WesSenberg, at 562
Blair street, for the purpose of being
identified. Three masked men entered
Wessenberg'S store on the night of Oct.
81, and, at the point of revolvers, robbed
the proprietor and his two SONS
who were in the place at
the time. A daughter-in-law of
WeSSenberger was so frightened
at the time of the robbery that she
screamed and one of the thugs felled
her to the floor with revolver. After
White and Rice had returned from Wes-
senberg's store the police gave out the
