quarters the ladies would give enter
talnments at their homes and by diff
Iefent devices familiar to them obtain
tne sums while giving pleasure. Mrs.
N w. Clayton proffered her home for
such an entertainment and other la
dies expressed their willingness to take
up the project.

1t was decided TO hold regular meet
lngs of the committee of one hundred
every Monday afternoon at o'clock.
Inc executive committee took charge
OF headquarters Immediately, and this
week the members from the First pre-
clnct will have charge. and one will
be in the room all the time between 10
am and pm. The ladies of the 9th
er precincts will then take it for a
week each in rotation.
Headquarters.
The headquarters are now nearly
ready for the reception to be given on
Wednesday evening. The bunting has
been arranged around the walls. Large
drawings of Rawlins, Thatcher, Rob
erts and Game have been hung on the
walls. The tiers of colored incandes-
cent light, red. white and blue, have
been swung ready for the illumination.
The working lights are also in. The
ladies' headquarters have also been
finished with a canopy over the ton
to keep out the dust and flies with
chairs, tables, lOoking-glass and other
useful articles. The lunch counter
will be opened today. The reception
VIII be open to all. Republicans are
invited to come and see what the OBJ
position is doing. Democrats are in
Wlted to come and see what their
friends are doing. Open house will be
kept from until u. During this time
Held's band will render a, very good
programme and a glee club will sing
the latest campaign song, which. by
the way, is one of the best that was
ever written by Judge Powers. The
ladies' committee of 100, the state and
the county committees, will form the
reception committee.
The Republicans say that they will
NOT use the Tunnel for HEADQUARTERS,
but will keep the places they have in
the Dooly and Atlas blocks. They say
the Tunnel will be-used only for meet
fngs. There is a suggestion about their
renting that hall. They must have
come to a realization that q cyclone Is
about to catch them, and, profiting by
the experience of the Kansas farmers,
have secured a cyclone pit.
Will Send Barlow Away,
The Republicans believe that they
have a way Of securing their last hope
of the election of Barlow Ferguson to
be district judge here. They have hit
on the eXpedient of sending him out
Of the district, SO that he may not be
seen very much before election and so
that the voters may have a chance to
forget just what kind of a person he
is. By this means it is believed he
may have some hope of success. There
fore, Ferguson will shortly be sent to
Sanpete county, where he will spend
great deal of time. After being left
for a time in Sanpete he will be sent
to some other region where the voters
have no chance to affect his candi-
dacy for the district bench IF the
same disposition were made Of Thomp-
son and Snyder there might be some
chance of electing them. AS it is, there
IS very small chance for them.
Campaign in This County.
The campaign in this county is now
opening up in good shape. The Demo-
Gratis are feeling very good and are
asking for meetings in all the pre-
cincts. a great deal of attention will
be paid to this county during the fall

through it. The candidates will all
