As to Deputyships.

It is understood that the county COM
missioners will certify to the election
returns on Monday next, and immedi-
ately thereafter the county clerk will
issue certificates of election. 1t is
probable that none of the officers elect
will announce their deputyships until
they receive these certificates; but
meanwhile guessing still goes on as to
who will fill the various positions. The
assessor is allowed more deputies for
a portion of the year than any other
county official. However. only two
will be required to qualify the first of
the year. These two, unless all re-
liable signs fail, will be J. NJ. Langs-
dorf, now in the collectors office, and
James Taylor, city councilman from
the Third ward.
Gossip, of course, is still busy nam
ing deputies for Clerk-elect Farr.
Somehow the name of T. d. Higgin-
botham is found on nearly every slate
made up. Sam Myers name is also
found in a good many of the combina-
tons. Charley Hollingsworth, it is OBJ
served, has lots of friends in both
parties, and his well-known familiarity
with the details of the business in the
Office is in his favor. Thomas B. Farr
is another name that is being men
toned pretty often, and about the only
thing urged against him is that his
name is Farr, being a relative of the
clerk himself. H. H. Goddard, James
Wotherspoon and Others are men
toned. It is never contradicted that
Tom Ballantyne and r. T. Harris are
to be two of the principal deputies of
Sheriff Belnap. Robert Chambers and
Joseph Bauscher are also said to be
sure winners, but whether Bauscher
will be jailor Or not is not very often
predicted.

A Matter of business.

It looks as though the Evening Press
has the best of the tax list matter.
The collector can do nothing but obey
the commissioners, and to attempt to
delay the publication would be a seri-
Gus matter and one which might in
validate every tax sale to be made.
The work must be done at once. The
commissioners have the right to award
the contract. If they choose to let il
to the highest bidder there seems to
be nothing to prevent it.
The Evening Press last night Vim a
long editorial attempted to show that
the list is worth 25 cents per description
and asserted that the Standard is in
the habit of charging the county higher
rates than that for similar work. From
The Herald's point of view, this has no
bearing on the case. A perfectly re-
sponsible paper offers TO do the work
for cents per description. 1t should
be let for that sum unless it can be
let cheaper; that's business. For the
Press to get % cents if it can is also
business on the part of the Press. The
Herald urges business methods on
benalf Of the county commissioners.
Weber county should not be made to
pay the political debts of any of its
officers out of its county funds.

Tomorrow before the board Of par
dons the attorneys for Pat Coughlin
will make their final effort in his be-
half. They have exhausted every re-
source at their command and have
tried every means in their power to
save him from being executed, except
this one. Johnson and Hayes will both
go down and each will make an ap-
peal before the board. Mrs. Coughlin
will also be on hand. She has been
working hard. 1t is understood that a
petition signed by over 1900 residents
of Summit county, Will be introduced
in Coughlins behalf. The attorneys
are also known to have secured ami
davits from at least three jurors, who
make oath tnat they consented TO
bring in a verdict of murder ia the
first degree through a misunderstand-
ing. They though that they were tX-
irg Coughlin's punishment at imprison-
ment for life when they added on TO
the regular form of verdict the words,
and recommend him to the mercy OF
the court" 1t will be remembered
that the Jury aeliDerated all night and
that the verdict was arrived at only
after the ms jori y had agreed to add
ing the above Wcros. The attorneys
ask only that the sentence be COM
muted To Imprisonment Tor life. Tne
execution is set for Dec. Is.

The reports of the city marshal ard
police judge showed that 40 arrests
were made during the month; amount
of fines collected, S245. The council ap-
proved four LIQUOR bonds.
Two petitions were presented ana
referred to proper committees, ore
asking that electric lights be placed on
Ontario avenue, and one to nave eiec-
trio lights on Ontario ridge. The com
mittee on streets, alleys and bridges
reported that fumes had been con-
strucIed on Marsac and EmDire ave-
nues, and a sidewalk built on the west
side of Empire avenue.
The committee appointed 20 confer
with John J. Daily in reference TO the
franchise for a wire rope rramway
from the DAILY mine to the Peck con-
centrator were granted more time. The
projectors of the tramway have not
yet asked for 4 meeting with the COM
mit-ee.
The council then discussed matters
pertaining to the general order and
welfare of the city. Considerable COM
plant has been made that a gang of
young hoodlums congregate at the
churches on Sunday evenings ana
create a disturbance by throwing snow
balls and committing other acts OF dis
order Hereafter a police officer VIII
be detailed at the churches. on Sunday
nights and the s O'Clock curfew law
will be rigidly enforced. The alarming
extent to which cigarette smoking has
spread among young boys also was dis
cussed by the aldermen The city
marshal was instructed to enforce the
ordinance which prohibits the sale OF
cigarettes, and further, to stop coast
ing on the man streets.
The damage suit of B. NJ. Sperry VS..
Ontario Silver Mining company for
$4,000 on account of injuries sustained
from an accident at Ontario mill jan
uary Is. 1894, has been compromised,
the plaintiff receiving. $3.50. The fact
of the plaintiff agreeing to compromise
for that amount would seem to indicate
that the accident was not caused by
any negligence on the part of the COM
pany. The Ontario offered to compro-
mise for $3.50 one year ago.

In the Great Struggle.

AS there comes time IN child's life
when coercion gives place to free and
conscious choice. writes Prof. Drummond,
the dav comes to the world when the

that day in the hear of humanity, ma
ture had made full provision. For there.
prepared by a prefounder chemistry than
that which was to relieve the strain on
the physical side, had gathered through
the ages force in whose presence the
energies of the animal struggle are as
naught Besides the struggle for the
life of others. the struggle for life is
but a passing phase. AS old, as deeply
sunk IN nature, this further force was
destined from the first to replace the
struggle for life. and to build a nobier
superstructure on the foundations which
it laid To establish these foundations
was all that the animal struggle was ever
designed to do. 1t has laid them well;
vet il is only when the struggle for life
stands projected against the larger
influence with which all through history
and in an infinitely profound sense
through moral history-it has been allied
that at once its worth and its ignominy
are seen.

Big Damage Case.

The case of James A. Wright VS.. the
Southern Pacific occupied most of the
day yesterday. The case is a some
what celebrated one, being suit for
damages on account of personal in
Jurles received IN 1892. The plaintin
While coupling cars in the Carlin yards
was caught between two and dragged
a considerable distance. The suit is for
$33, 600 On a former trial the plaintiff
secured a judgment for $4,000. The
supreme court granted a new trial,
and this is that trial. An important
question in the case hinges on the
rule of the company regarding the
method of making couplings. The en-
ployee was clearly violating a rule, as
printed, when he stepped between the
moving cars; but it is urged that the
violation of this rule was general and
that the officials knew of its continued
violation. On the ether hand, ii is con-
tended that the rules had been newly
printed and re-issued the month pre-
ceding the accident. A special rule
had been added forbidding the viola
ticp 1f this rule. The plaintiff was on
the stand most OF the afternoon.

reports a singular find made by him dur

Emmett says that he and his partner, B.

tired ponies neighed and whinnied as if
they were aware of the presence of an
other animal. Looking around, they dis
covered what they thought was a bronco
tethered 10 q mesquite which crowned the
summit of a little knoll to the northward.
They rode UP to the spot and found
that the horse was fastened by a cham,
but stood so rigidiy and seemed altogether
so mysterious that their own horses
reared and plunged as If in fright. Fin
ally they dismounted and found that the
pony was petrified not a hair or a hoof
amiss. Emmett says that some ranch
man years ago must have chained the
poor horse there, leaving il to starve
upon the plains. AS the ribs of the ami
nal were plainly visible in the petrifac-
ton, and it seemed to have been other
wise much emacated, this is most proba-
bly, the case.
Emmett will arrange to have the strange
find exhibited in some museum II fire.
