Her Husband Did the Running.

Utah will likely adopt woman suf-
frage plank in its constitution. The
following, from an Ohio paper, is going
the rounds of the Utah press as being
apropos to the situation. land it might
contain pointer for some OF our own
folks who take an interest in next Mon
DAYS electiOn):
A good story is told on Clermont
politician, who started out a couple of
didates willing to run for school direc-
tor. The ladies he approached did not
strike the tempting bait of official power
as freely as he had anticipated, and
after having invited three or four he be-
gan to have that tired feeling, which is
suits of honest effort. At length he be-
thought him of lady friend, whom he
had not seen within the last four or five
months, and straightway to her home
he HE'D to suggest the beauties and
bounties of office holding. Just as he
was about to ring the bell the lady's
husband appeared in the doorway, in
the act of putting on his coat, only one
sleeve being adjusted, his hat on the
back of his head, his hair disheveled,
and his whole attitude betokening haste
and anxiety.
''Ah one minute, said the candidate
hunter, Il wanted to see if your wife
would run for the school board"
The citizen got himself into the rest
of his harness, as he walked hurrledly
up the street, the politician following,
and remarked as he went:
No: she doesn't want to run for any
office. I'm inst running for The doctor
for her now, myself"
think she wouldn't hold a position
on the school board p persisted the ear
nest patriot, ''she could have either the
two or three year term
Gracious, mol not now. If she isn't
holding something else in the next two
hours, that will require her undivided
attention for the next five years, it will
be because there is no trusting to signs,
and the flag denoting squalls has been
mistakenly displayed"
Then the politician tumbled, and
reached around to kick himself; and
the citizen almost tumbled in his haste
to reach the doctor. And the signals
were correct.

To be Found Everywhere.

This community, says the Greeley
Tribune, is cursed with a set of uncon-
scionable gossips, both male and female.
No man or woman's character is sacred
in their eyes; no hearthstone free from
their malicious tongues. If morsels OF
domestic troubles and infelicities are
not in sight of eyes or hearing of ears
then they turn their attention to the
business affairs of their neighbors or
fellow citizens. Such stories, either OF
a domestic or business nature, at times
work great harm, and it is pity that
our supersensitive age has relegated the
ducking-stool and the stocks to obscur-
ity as relics of barbarism, for compared
TO the tongue of malice or Jealousy they
are preferred by any honest man or
woman.

The Durrant Trial.

A dispatch from San Francisco
Sept. Sd says: The long-looked-for
trial of William Henry Theodore
Durrant for the murder of Blanche
Lamont opened here this morning
without a hitch. The courtroom
was crowded at an early hour.
Durrant was specially attired for
the occasion in a new suit of clothes.
His father and mother sat beside
him. For the remainder of the
trail Judge Murphy has secured the
more commodious courtroom of
the Presiding Judge to accommodate
the crowds. All witnesses in the
case were excluded. Then District
Attorney Barnes made the opening
statement.
At the conclusion of Barnes ad.
dress counsel for both State and
the defense consulted with the
Judge, who finally ordered that the
jury and Durrant should be taken
to the Emmanuel Church to view
the scene Of the murder in charge
Of policemen.
