moved for a continuance, as Mr.. Land
ers was in Chicago very sick. An affi-
davit to that effect was produced and
read to the court. The court thought
that Captain Landers should not have
gone out of the jurisdiction of this
court and therefore the motion was
overruled and the bond declared for
feited.

Snow building, with Ed L. Jones in

| F. J. "Popgun," as he was called by
a prominent man from Spanish Fork
held forth at that place last night to
a crowded house-crowded with Demo-
Gratis. The main argument used by Mr.
Cannon to induce people to vote for
him was that Ben Harrison, Mckinley
Tom Reed and all the Republican lead
ers were in favor of the free coinage of
silver (Of course, he forgot to say, by
the consent of other nations)
Joseph F. Smiths speech in Salt
Lake, as reported in The Herald of
yesterday, has stirred up some bad
feeling here. not only among Demo-
Gratis, but Republicans as we'll are in
censed over it. They don't believe he
said what is reported, that if he had
been the Republican party for the last
thirty years he would not have gran
ted statehood to Utah, and that, God
had now done that which Mr.. Smith
would never have granted"
A Brilliant Effort.
| Master Samuel Kohn, the 13-year-old
son of l.. Kohn of Ogden, delivered a
lecture at the synagogue recently. His
theme was, "Are we the nation of
ISRAEL sti.i in existence or not?" The
boy spoke with an eloquence and a
depth and breadth of thought far be-
yond his years. His audience was so
delighted with his discourse that he
was urged to make another address at
Is p. M, which he did, his subject being
, an entirely different one.
Those who have heard it, and who
are competent judges, say that it was
!, the most remarkable lecture ever de-
: .ivered in the temple. They speak OF
the beauty of his language, the grace
of his gestures and the purity of his
, sentiments. His audience was held in
rapt attention till the close of the lee
: ture.
The youth was overwhelmed with
congratulations and caresses after his
mastery effort. The ladies especially
| were charmed with the lads eloquence
and were earnest in their request thai
