On Sunday last Rev, Hyslop preach.

very touching discourse and as the
preacher dwelt upon his work in
mis- city and the friendships he had
established here, many of the hearers
were moved to tears
Since the Rev. gentleman has been
IN this city during the past three
years, he has endeared himself not
only to the members of his W flock,
but to the whole community. He has
always been in touch with the Door.
the SICK and the afflicted. and his
kindly words Of encouragement have
lifted many an aching heart and given
new courage and new hope to the suf-
fering and distressed.
His wife has always been a great
favorite socially with the people Of
Carson and both will be missed by the
people of this city. The substantial
part OF his work is also shown in the
fact that he reduced the debt Of the
church from $500 to 800 in three
years. He will leave for the East on
Friday evening.

JONES ON THE

United States Senator John P. Jones
Is strongly Of the opinion that there
Will be a separate Silver party in the
campaign OF next year. The formation
OF such a party is to grow out OF the
coming silver conference at CHICAGO

A call is now being prepared bv the

Senator Jones expressed himself rs

POINTS OF VIEW.

IEere was quite a difference of
opinion In morning newspaper articles
o the value of the written asser-
tlon OF innocence issued by D~urrant
o his cell last Tuesday and pub
llshed in the Examiner and Call YES
terday. The Examiner paid $50 for
1t. The Call also paid handsomely
the exact amount we do not know
The Chronicle offered to publish it at
the usual advertising rates-a dollar
a line. The Chronicles estimate Of
its value was about correct. Durrant
had already protested his innocence
in various forms and that he should
protest it again vas no new sensation
Probably Durrant would be ready to
protest three times a week at a con-
siderable reduction on the rates be
charged Tuesday.-Daily Report.

this place been threatened with SO much

been on FIRE since Saturday and all efforts
to check the flames have proved unavail.

to West Kane, the heat being so intense
that the fighters were driven back and the
people began to desert their houses for
places of safety. Every spring is dried up
and the place is at the mercy Of the flames.

Griffith Company. The Union Oil COM
pany has Lost six rigs and three tanks Of
