ALL FOR NINE DOLLARS
Harry r1il!er Commits Two Grimes For q
Paitry Sum of rloney


Paltry Sum of noney
Harry w. Miller and Charles W. Dilley,
two youths from the East, met each other
at way station while tramping over the
country and struck up kind of part
nership. While on their way to Los An
gees Dilley confided to Miller that he ex-
pected some money in this city from
Utah. Miller did not forget the informa-
ton and when he reached here immedi-
ately went to the postotfice and obtained
Dilley's letter. 1t contained an order for
80, issued at Helper Utah, by the Den.
yer and Rio Grande Express Company,
and made payable at Wels-Fargo. This
money Miller collected, forging Dilley's
name on the endorsement. He was
caught the next day by the police, who
turned him over to the United States
Marshal.
United States Commissioner Van Dyke
yesterday held the examination on Mil
Ter, who was merely charged with having
taken Dilley's letter out of the postotfice.
The evidence was conclusive, and the
prisoner was held to answer to the grand
Jury in the sum of $1,000.
This is, however, not ALL AS the youth
wrote his partners name to the money
order, he is also amenable to the state
laws for forgery and may not again OBJ
tain his liberty for number of years.

WHAT THE POST HAS TO SAY
It Fully Indorses Mr.. neyberg's Views About
La Fiesta

Max Meyberg, one of the most prom
sinent business men of Los Angeles, and
especially we'll known from the circum-
stance that he last year conducted to a
most successful issue the great Southern
California Carnival, which attracted so
many visitors to the City of the Angels,
is at present in San Francisco. While he
did not come here especially for the pur-
pose, he is making good use OF his time
while here in preparing for the work to
be done this year in connection with an
other carnival to be given at1I5s Angeles,
and which it is proposed shall far exceed
that of last year in scope and general
magnifcence. How well Mr. Meyberg
managed the previous enterprise is testi-
fed to by the fact that he is the
proud possessor of magnificent gold
watch and chain which were presented to
him by his fellow citizens as slight
token of their appreciation of his efforts
in behalf of their city.
What Mr.. Meyberg especially desires to
do this year is to awaken in the other
cities of the state that spirit of friendli
ness which shall induce their residents to
lend all the assistance possible to Los An
geles in her enterprise, with view, of
course, and very properly So that she
WILL on her part, return these favors on
any and all opportunities. Mr.. Meyberg
holds that California may easily be made
famous, even as Italy is now, as the land
of carnival, and to that end he desires to
see all her cities inaugurate such enter
tainments every year. Some have already
begun to do So and if others follow suit,
as they should, the result will be, as he
predicts, that every year there will be a
great influx of pleasure seekers from other
states, who will not conclude their visits
here until they have made the round of
California carnivals, even as people OF
sporting proclivitics now ''follow the
races for much less legitimate reasons
Mr.. Meyberg suggests that if the citi-
zens of San Francisco would step in and
take the present opportunity of according
scheme for the general advertisement of
the state, even as the southern metropo-
lis did for San Francisco during the late
Midwinter Fair, the result would be in
every way excellent. 1t would do away
with the feeling of jealousy which, to a
certain extent at least, exists between the
populations of the two cities and would
tend to draw them together in a manner
which could not but rebound to the good
of both.
There are a number of San Franciscans
who feel with Mr.. Meyberg in this matter
and very heartily, and in consequence the
gentleman named has been invited to
meet and talk with the members of the
Merchants Association and various other
civic bodies during his stay here, and it
is anticipated that these conferences will
result to the material benefit of every body
concerned.

nlval OF Los Angeles as the residents mere.
Mr.. Meyberg, during his short stay in
San Francisco, has done excellent work
for La Fiesta and the results of his labors
will be more fully appreciated from the
following interview with a Herald re-
porter:
II have met with reception by the
merchants and newspapers" he said,
THAT was not only surprising to me but
exceedingly encouraging. Everybody
seemed to know as much about La Fiesta
as we do here The feeling among the
merchants especially was one that made
the strongest impression upon me: The
spirit of jealousy, of which we hear SO
much, was not evident in the acts and
words of.the merchants; on the contrary
they all spoke in the kindest words about
Southern California and about our enter
prise.
'The Merchants Association called two
special meetings to allow me to address
the members on the Fiesta. | explained
to them the attractions of our annual fes-
tival, as they were sufficiently acquainted
with our climate, oranges and scenery.
The members expressed themselves as
grateful for the manner in which we of
Los Angeles assisted them to make the
Midwinter Fair a success and they stated
that they would be only too happy to
show their appreciation and their friend
ship.
GAS result of our conferences, the
Merchants Association appointed a COM
mittee to outline plan of action, but the
members decided to have the commercial
interests represented in La Fiesta by one
great float at least, and probably three or
four. They also accepted an invitation to
be present during Fiesta week. and a
large proportion of the merchants will
charter special Pullman cars, in which
they will live during their stay here.
1T will surprise the people of our
city, - continued the Director General,
'to see the people from San Francisco
flock here to see our celebration. We will
have a crowd to take care of that will tax
our accommodations to their utmost.
Those who believed that Northern Cali
fornia would take no interest in our Fiesta
will be convinced that our annual celebra-
ton will be regarded hereafter as an at
traction of the entire state rather than a
festival of Southern California.
''To show you how enthusiastic the
newspapers are about our Fiesta and the
interest they take in it, l want to relate
an incident that happened in the Call
office. Almost every one of the papers
interviewed me and when | was at the
Call office was introduced to Mr.. Charles
M. Shortridge, the editor and proprietor
l explained to him at some length our
programme and the great importance of
La Fiesta, and while we were discussing
the matter, he sent for his city editor.
Turning to the latter gentleman he gave
instructions to communicate at once with
an architect and have plans and draw
ings prepared for u Call float for our
parade. At the Examiner office
was also assured that that enterpris-
ng journal would also be represented

RAWLINs IN ToOELE.
He Puts the Issue on True American
Freedom.

TOOELE CITY, Oct. 21-The inhabl-
tants of this section of country are
receiving their full share of attention
from both the political parties. This
week is consumed with appointments
for political meetings. Everything
wears a political phase and as the
election draws nearer, matters political
get more complicated
Hon. j. l.. Rawlins visited our burg
last Saturday and at 1850 pm. was
introduced to a crowded house of en-
thusiastic Democrats and envious Re-
publicans. The brass band discoursed
sweet and patriotic music. and Our
joe was introduced by Hon. Judge De
La Mare
The speech was listened to with rapt
attention from beginning to end. The
subjects treated were statehood, tariff,
hard times, silver, and church influence
in politics
Mr. Rawlins' statements and ex-
plantations were clear cut and forcible,
except the small (big boy, whose
every desire is to annoy. When Mr..
RaWlins reached that part Of his adj
dress wherein he treated on Church
influence in politics the audience sat
almost breathless while the speaker
read. one after the other, the letters
written and circulated in the interest
of BRO. Frank j." and other docu-
ments, all tending to prove conclu-
sively that church influence was used
heretofore. The speaker commented
dispassionately upon the ill-advised re-
marks of President Joseph f. Smith
in the priesthood meeting, and said
it was matter of such moment and
gravity that Democrats and Republic
cans alike should unite in denouncing
such methods and eliminating them.
whereupon some uncultured individuals
of the Republican persuasion snorted
right out. Mr.. Rawlins then admin
istered singing rebuke to all such,
stating that "all those who are will
ing to use such methods for individual
or party advantages are unworthy to
be called free men or to become the
fathers of free men"
The speaker then referred to the
Trumbo-C Crane campaign and read
from Mr.. Cranes circular letter.
wherein he makes some very disparag-
ing remarks about some of his Repub-
lican brothers.
On Sunday, after the meeting, the
Republicans Mere dilligent in circu-
lating a report that Mr.. Rawlins had
called Hon. George Q. Cannon a wolf
in Sleeps clothing" and our president
of stake and counselor were much
wrought up over the matter, and went
to the bishop who, by
the way, is a Democrat, to ascertain
if the rumor was true They were
satisfied with the bishops explana-

SETTLE THE QUESTION NOW.
The Spanish Fork Herald Endorses
the Democratic Position.

The Spanish Fork Herald, indie
pendent in its politics, comes right in
behind the Democrats in this fight.
following the lead of the other indie
pendent paper, the Labor World. In
its last issue the Herald remarks edi-
tOrially:
THE church and state question which
everyone iii Utah hoped and believed
to have been settled forever, has again
arisen. A word or two from the lips
of one Of the first presidency of the
Mormon church has served to set Utah
ablaze.
"The effect cannot but be disastrous
Statehood for which 50 many have
prayed and labored so long, and which
was almost in their grasp, will pro-
baby be defeated. Even though the
matter may be adjusted and the QueS-
ton buried out of sight, a feeling of
distrust will remain. The people of
the United States were convinced that
the people of Utah were right in their
presentations, and that the church
was sincere in its declaration that
church and state were forever separ
ate. 1t is probable that this unfortun-
ate incident will rouse again the old
time distrust, and the nation again be
arrayed against the territory.
NOW is the time to settle that queS-
ton forever; let us show to the Ameri-
can people outside our borders that We
are sincere and that churches shall not
dictate our politics, or let US show that
we submit to the churches. One or
the other must be done, and that
quickly.
In view of the facts presented by
the Salt Lake papers, and which are
not denied. the only conclusion TO be ar
rived at is that the church interfered
deliberately, and with a view TO de-
feating certain candidates. President
Woodruff has published a card defin-
ing his position, but he avoids the
issue.
There is a great difference of opinion
among the people of Spanish Fork ON
the question. Some believe and declare
that implicit obedience should be given
to the commands of the church digni-
taries in political matters. Others adj
vocate fighting that claim to the end.
1t is easily seen that the church has
the power to carry out its designs, but
it remains to be seen whether or not
the independent and thinking people
will be able to foil it's plans.
Let US see if we will have church
influence in our politics. or not And
let 1T be no halfway arrangement, but
absolutely the one way or the other"

rRuMBo,s THREE RING CIRCUS.
He Has His Knife Out for Frank
Cannon and Heber W. Wells.

Trumbo has his knife out for Frank
Cannon and Heber NJ. Wells. The
Tribune claims that he cannot be cleo
ted to the Senate. If this is true, It
is dollars to doughnuts that Frank
Cannon will not go. The Tribune says
that a majority Of the Republican leg
islative candidates have solemnly
pledged themselves against Trumbo
If they have they will have two
courses open to them. They must
either sign pledges to vote for Trumbo
or go down in defeat, for defeated they
will be unless the streak of sunshine
is preferred. He wants to go to the
Senate himself. but if he cannot go
he does not want Frank Cannon to 60.
He, his coadjutor, Charlie Crane. and
his first lieutenant, Bill Glasmann,
each have separate and distinct griev-
ances against Frank Cannon and they
do not intend to place him in such
position that he can turn on them and
claim that they are nOnentities in Re-
publican politics here and that the
party can win without them. If Cam
non wins this time the political in
1uence of Charlie Crane or Bill Glas-
mann is forever dead in Utah.
From the Logan Journal we take
the following report of Trumbo's
speech, which is suggestive in view Of
his attitude toward Cannon and Wells;
Colonel Isaac Trumbo was intro
duced as the man who had done more
for the people of Utah in regard to
statehood and other matters than all
other Republicans put together He
spoke at some length on what he had
been able to accomplish by reason of his
great acquaintance with great men and
his unbounded influence in Washing
ton. In the opening of his speech Colo
mel Trumbo ELECTED vociferous an
plause by saying that he is personally
acquainted with both gentlemen
named by the Democrats for the Uni
ted states Senate and he assured the
people that if Democracy controlled
the legislature. Messrs Rawlins and
Thatcher would do great honor to
their constituency. He had known Mr.
Thatcher from boyhood as a good man
and had worked with Mr.. Rawlins in
Congress for Utah. and he would as
sure them that they never had a more
earnest. capable man to represent
them than Joseph L. Rawlins.
Colonel Trumbo said further that
his association with Hon. John T.
Game in Congress had learned him Ia
love that man and regard him as an
honest, conscientious man of influence
OF course, the colonel did not desire
the election of these men, but could
not refrain from paying them the
tribute they deserved"
Apropos of the brochure Of balder-
DASH and the colonefs claims for pre-
cedence, the Labor World Qnd. Labor
aptly remarks:
ct is related of General Grant that
before accepting Lees surrender at
Appomatto1 he wired Colonel Isaac

Attorneys Dey & Street yesterday

Qent OF the City Council Mccormick, Mr.

Judge Dey processes entire ignorance
of the present whereabouts of Mr..

nations came through Mrs. Bache.
1t is said that Bache is not now in

the northern half of this continent, and
the probability is he is either in Homo

gone to South America by way of Los

SOLID IN CASTLE GATE.
Democrats Endorse the Recall of
the State Convention.


CASTLE GATE, Oct. 2O---I had re-
Trained from writing about the feeling
regarding the crisis now pending in
this territory relative to church and
state, until l had the views Of the
Democrats of this town and they With
one accord heartily endorse the action
of the state committee in recalling the
convention. Your correspondent learns
from Emery county that the same feel
ing exists there. 1t must be no small
voice that shall declare She principles
of separation, but let than be belched
out in tones of thunder, that there
must forever be no minglilg Of church
and state. The actions of a presiding
official to influence members over whom
he may have jurisdiction to vote as he
would have them, by using the names
OF still higher authorities, is as con-
temptible in his own Individuality as
his action is.
When the news was known here
about the affair the Republicans were
as pleased as if they had won the cleo
tlon but "a change came Ger the spirit
OF their dreams" when they learned
that the Democratic party would no
longer submit to such methods and if
b. H. Roberts were to come here and
speak to the electors of Carbon county,
it would cause such a. rafting of dry
bones sufficient to make the angels
weep. We are in hopes that before
the election the Big -Four" viii wipe
out the influence that the "Little Three
made in Carbon county The Hon. A.
J. Weber and Judge Maloney are billed
for Castle Gate Tuesday. We bespeak
them a hearty welcome. All eyes are
looking towards the state convention
Tuesday. There is one thing that the
workingmen of this county should do
and that is to elect a labor representa-
tive to the legislature and the Demo-
Gratis have put up for that office John
Hood, Of Scofield, who is a miner and
who is in every way the superior of
Mr.. j. T. Ferguson. The last named
must think that he has a lead pipe
cinch on this county as a pensioner he

supposed to be as he draws his salary
fc4' It of $500 a Year, the prosecuting
attorney of Carbon county, If the
workingmen neglect this opportunity Of
being represented they should for ever
hold their tongues about giving the
workingmen a chance. Mr. John Hood
is man of sterling qualities, honest
and upright in his dealings. His char
acter is above reproach. He is one who
has no fears on looking back ON his
past and one whom the writer believes
would see that good substantial laws
were enacted for the amelioratfon of
the present condition of the coal min
ers. Such cannot be said of the Re-
publican nominee who, if he were to
touch a piece of coal without gloves,
would use pound of soap in trying to
remove the stains.
/ see in a late issue of The Herald
that there is a possibility of the Hon.
Joseph L. Rawlins making round
of Carbon county. For the sake of the
good cause do not pass US by for there
are many "doubtfuls'' in this regior of
country and we must make good the
battle cry that this is the annual of
Democracy.

CITY FINANCES.
City Collector Will Make a Pay
meut This Week.


City Auditor Raybould did not draw
the warrant for the $4,000 interest
owed by the city yesterday, as was
expected. The city auditor was 50
busy in fixinx UP tax sales that he for
got it and will up the matter today.
The pay-rolls of the city, as published
in The Herald Sunday, were dis
charged yesterday as announced would
be the case.
County Collector Spencer announces
that this paper was wrong in its state
ment of the amount of cash which
would be turned over to the city by
him at an early date. A typographical
error was the cause of saying that
$50, 900 would be handed to the city
treasurer. The sum to be paid will
be somewhere between $4,000 and $1O,-
600. This payment will be made some
time during the latter portion of the
week.
People are still crowding to the front
to pay their taxes, but as yet all
amounts paid in have been small The
heavy taxpayers have not begun to
come in yet, although it is anticipated
they will come up ere the last of the
month, when taxes become delinquent.

numerically. Willard county, Charlie
Cranes stamping ground, has been
sending up the most dolorous reports

Wayne are also threatening. Even

Now, are those reports on which to
base claims of a larger Republican ma
jority? That, too in the face of the
fact that Park City will cut down the
Republicans this year and that the
Democratic stronsholds of Cache, Wa

Washington are stronger than ever.
Why, in Uintah tine Populists are cut

The above things are based on care
