A Republican Rally

Ogden, Aug. 14.-About seventy-flve
Republicans and eight Democrats at
tended the Republican meeting at the
city hall last evening. Hon. c. E. AL
len, who had quite reputation as an
orator here, was the principal speaker.
He prefaced his speech by saving he
would neither present statistics nor
wax eloquent. He kept that promise
faithfully. Mr.. Allen made the usual
Republican argument drawing almost
wholly from a chapter in an old Repub-
lican handbook. When he attempted
to discuss modern legislation his in
accuracies were more glar-ng than the
errors in his ancient history. One sam
pie will suffice: He claimed that sugar
is free under the Mckinley bill. He
either forgot or did not know that raw
sugar only Is free. and that a tariff
was placed by the Mckinley bill on
refined sugar for the express benefit of
the Sugar trust that has grown AFRO
CANT and powerful under the fostering
care of Republican legislation.
Judge Bennett was even -Sworse than
Mr.. Allen. Bennett said that 1t was
not the repeal of the Sherman law
that produced the present distress
but it was "the threat of free
trade'-and the way in which the
judge rolled the "r'' in threat" at
the same time rolling his eyes like
those of an expiring calf, froze the
hearts and blanched the cheeks of the
lonesome and bored Democrats who
were present. In closing he had a pro-
phetic fit. He predicted that with a
Republican constitutional convention,
Republican senators and a Republican
representative, Utah would be mum
dated with eastern money and every
body would be happy and rich!
Just why Allen and Bennett should
be sent to Ogden is one of those mys-
teries past finding out. There were
twenty Ogden Republicans present,
either of whom could make a sounder
argument and & better speech than
either MI. Allen or Judge Bennett.
VIM. Glassman of the Standard. who
in the best Republican stump speaker
in Weber county, is worth a dozen OF
the Salt Lake contingent who scame
to Ogden to spoil an evening for nearly
a hundred men.
For the purpose of CLOSING over the
fiat failures of the previous speaker
w. w. Miller, of Ogden, was called
upon, and made a neat, eloquent and
brief speech. Like Brother Allen. Mr.
Miller was somewhat inaccurate as to
his facts, but then his was an extern
poraneous effort which will excuse
some of his misstatements After a
large part of the audience had ESCAPED.
a Republican worllingmen's club was
formed, with w. W. Miller as presi-
dent.

4 Republican NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in

Shipment of Fruit En- Route to
England-Ray RaymOnd's Letter.

Ogden, Aug. 4.-The crew of the Rio
Grande Western freight train which ar
rived here about 2 o'clock this after
noon, discovered the dead body of a
man lying on the side of the track
three miles from this>Nity. When the
train arrived here Acting Coroner Ter
mes was informed of the discovery, and
he and the jury drove to the spot AMI
reviewed the remains. Later the re-
mains were brought here. The body is
that of a man about 80 years of age
who had apparently made railroading
his business. He was dressed in a
light suit, with a new hat and recently
purchased shoes
In his possession were found two
tickets bearing the initials S. L. M B.,
book 1, class II. and on the other,
book 1, class Ais. The man evidently
committed suicide. Near his right hand
lay a 32-calibre revolver, he having
shot himself through the head, the bull
let entering above the right ear and
coming out at the top of the head.
Nothing is known of the unfortunate,
and the inquest will be held tomorrow
morning.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOON

No one has ever seen the other side
of the moon. Sometimes we get
glimpses of it, round the corner, as it
were, and astronomers call this by the
long word Hbration, which, put into
simple language, means swinging or
swaying. While in the long run the
moon keeps the same face towards the
earth, it is not so from day to day
Sometimes the people on earth can see
a little further round one side of the
moon, and sometimes a little further
round the other side of it. Sometimes
we can see a little more of the north
pole and then a little more of the south
pole. On account Of these librations, or
sWayings, we see more than one-half
of the moons surface. From the
glimpses we have had in this way of
the other side Of the moon it would
seem to be very much like the side we
know so well.
The moon has three motions: First
ly, as it is the attendant of the earth,
it goes round and round the earth ;
secondly, as it has to go wherever the
earth goes, and as the earth goes round
the sun, the moon and the earth go
round the sun together; thirdly. the
moon turns round on its axis once a
month, in exactly the same time that
it takes in going round the earth, The
days and nights on the moon are there
We see today precisely the same face
of the moon that Calico saw when he
first looked at it with his telescope.
The opposite face has never been seen
from the earth and probably never will
be. Let me show you why this s. Put

you had wound the strlng once around
you when you had made enc turn
round the table. In the same manner
the moon revolves around the earth,
keeping always the same side turned
towards US.
In the olden times people believed
that on the side of the moon we can
not see, there is beautiful land, where
all the good people go when they die,
while all those VINO were wicked on
earth have to dwell on the side of the
moon turned towards us, where they
are forever tormented by the sight of
the scenes of their former wickedness.

The sliding mountain on the Column
bia river. one mile west of Cascade
locks. made the longest slide on record
when the recent floods subsidized. The
high water seemed to have held the
mountain back, and when it receded
the sudden removal of the pressure led
to a squirt.
The Oregon Railway & Navigation
company's roadbed, which is always
being disarranged at this point by the
movement, was so upset this time as to
require renewing. The engineer sent
to do the work made a study of the
moving mountain Today he said:
1.-THE mountain has about half a mile
frontage, extends three-quarters of a
mile back and is about 400 feet high. 1t
had been known heretofore to slide one
foot in a day, but this is extraordinary
and the average is not more than one
thirty-second of an inch a. day.
The mountain contains 900 Gu
bic yards Of earth, and at the rate it
is now moving-one thirty-second of an
inch a day-will require 4,16O years for
its entire disappearance.
"This mammoth pile of dirt will not
in the least affect navigation, for the
slide is so gradual and the current 50
strong that the dirt will be carried
down the river and be deposited upon
the lowlands. AS a consequence, what
is now unproductive land, because of
it's sandy soil. will become productive.
and the river proper will be narrowed.
fThe mountain is on a soapstone
foundation, which is not level. This
accounts for the movement

great many of them are farmers who
have tried the eastern states, and have
now turned their eyes upon our valleys
in expectation of finding homes where
the hot winds and dreaded cyclone do
not flourish as they have known them
by actual experience. This is by the
card, and shows that Utah advertising
has done much good. 1t has brought
them here, and personal observation,
coupled with careful investigation, will
go far towards doing the rest.
