lasy man to succumb was the oualss.

Hasy man to Euccumb was the Quaker
minister. He is now a strong silver
man. A poll was taken Of Western
Springs a few days ago and it showed
$50 votes for Bryan.
/ OF the 26 German Catholic priests in
Chicago, 23 of them are pronounced for
Bryan, free silver and humanity. About
the same proportion in the Protestant
German churches. This is the result of
an actual canvass, and is REPUTATION
of the charges that the Germans are
for the gold standard.
The goldbug organs are endeavoring
to make point that the advance in
wheat is caused by the belief in the pos
sibility of McKinleys election. The
facts are: When Vermont went repub-
lican wheat fell 21s points; when Ar
kansas went democratic wheat went I'D
two points; when Bismarcl1's letter APP
peared wheat went up ~ points; when
THE republican managers in the latter
part of September were claiming every
thing wheat slumped from 10 to &C, and
was falling steadily until election re.
turns came from Georgia and Florida,
when it rose to coz. Anybody who will
study dates will find that this state
ment is true. 1t means that wheat will
be one dollar bushel when Bryan is
elected.
| Among the prominent citizens who
have come out strongly in favor Of
Bryan and free silver are ex-President
Frank Wenter, of the Chicago sanitary
board, and Michael Brennan, ex-chief
iof police of Chicago. Mr.. Wenter will
make speeches during the remainder
of the campaign. Mr.. Wenter is ono
of the most popular Germans in Chi

Short Crops In India Likely to Produce
Great Distress.
London, Oct. 1.-THE viceroy Of
India has cabled to the government that
owing to the lack Of rain the crops in
northwest India, in several districts of
central India and in upper Burmah, have
been seriously damaged, and that un-
less rain falls shortly a famine will be
Inevitable. There is some local feeling
In the unaffected districts owing to the
expectation of wheat to the districts in
which the crops are damaged, and this
has caused rise in prices. Merchants
In Calcutta are now selling American
wheat, the importation of which is ex-
pected to favorably affect the price,
but the present dearness is the cause
of the government granting some re-
lief to the sufferers. A grant of ten
lakhs of rupees has been sanctioned by
the government in the north for wells
and other public works if necessary.

thing new in Mr.. Bryan's Lansing
speeches. AT the Downey house he
urged his hearers who were in favor of
free silver not to stay away from The
polls on election day, because the result
might depend on the ELECTORAL vote of
one state. He said he was willing to
trust the employees of the corporations
to vote as they pleased, but that advo-
cntes of gold standard were not, they
had attempted coercion, showing that
their cause was hopeless and that they
no longer appealed to reason as an ap-

Movement to Close Business In st. Louis
on Election Day.
St. Louis, Oct. 17.-Efforts are being
made to have election day declared a
legal holiday in this city. The Building
Trade council will petition Mayor Wal
bridge to authorize the closing of all
municipal Offices on that day, and cir
culars have been addressed to mcr-
chants, stock exchanges, etc., to join in
the request. The movement is based on
the fact that the polls will close at FIVE
p. M, and therefore many workingmen
will be unable to vote unless holiday
is granted. Many wholesale houses
have already agreed to close at noon on
election day

d Since the date of our organization
we have cared for many poor families
and found employment for over 200
women and girls, besides carrying on
the principal work of the association,
which is the reclamation of erring
girls. Month after month we receive
such girls Some are turned over to
us by the courts or brought by their
parents. but most of them come to us
voluntarily. We take them into our
home, board them, clothe them, pro-
vide medicines and medical attendance
in sickness, and in every way try to
give them what many of them have
never had-mother's care. Many OF
them are very young-mere children
in years, though old in knowledge of
evil. We are often sorely perplexed to
find the means to provide for all who
come to us.
Thus far the citizens of Salt Lake
have come to our help in time of need,
and we trust they will do so now.
Thanksgiving is approaching, and
while we look back over the year and
recall the good we have received, the
sorrows we have been spared, we ought
surely to remember those who so sore
" need the help that we can give.

Doctor William Mccoy, who was
found guilty a couple of weeks ago
of performing an abortion on Miss
Eveline Bonnet of Provo and thereby
causing her death, was brought before
Judge Hiles yesterday afternoon for
sentence. The first proceeding was to
argue a motion for new trial, which
was done by. on behalf of the defend
ant, Attorney Fred Woods in support
of the motion, and by County Attorney
Whittemore against the motion on be-
half of the government. The principal
grounds for the motion were that the
evidence was insufficient for convlc-
ton. Judge Hiles oyerruled the mo-
ton and sentenced Mccoy to be inn
prisoned for period Of eight years in
the states prison. A stay OF execu-
ton for eight days was granted on a
certificate of probable cause.
The wife of the defendant was in
court and occupied a seat beside him
while the arguments were being made.
Mccoy wac very cool in his bearing
and seemed resigned TO his fate.

Bank of Salt Lake Affairs.

The hearing on the petition of E. c.
Wilson, Browns Marble Works and
B. AIcAiGnampn, interveners in the
case of the Geyser Mining company,
VS. the Bank of Salt Lake, was argued
before Judge Street yesterday by At
torney C. S. Patterson for the peti-
TONERS and by Judge Dey for the re-
ceivers of the Bank of Salt Lake. The
agreed statement of facts was that on
March 16, 1885, Browns Marble Works
ordered from E. c. Wilson for B. Nc
Manamon a monument, the price of
which was to be $40.
McManamon bought cashiers check
of the Bank Of Salt Lake for $40 and
deposited the check in the bank in es-
crow, to be delivered TO Wilson when
the monument was completed. The
identical money which was paid for the
cashiers check mingled with the gen
eral funds of the bank and can not be
traced.
The bank failed while the check was
in escrow and the petitioners pray
that the $40 be refunded, contending
that it forms no part of the assets of
the bank. After the arguments his
honor took it under advisement
