NATURAL IRRITATION
1.-The greets you with the air
OF a much disgruntled bear,
And your smile
He returns with such q leer
That IL almost seems sneer
In its style;
II he's rather lachrymose-
Has badly-swollen nose
Acts SO queer
If his speech is rather thick
And he looks trife sick
Never fear;
He's the most unhappy wretch
You will ind for many stretch
As you roam:
For hard cold in the head
Makes him al most sick abej,
And at home
He has left his handkerchief,
To his deep and lasting grief,
And his march
Only brings him to o store
Where they've handkerchiefs galore
Full of starch.

Denver Post: A brief but important
letter received this morning by Chief
Russell will bring much annoyance and
discomfort to several of the descend
ants of Leopold Heck, who, fifteen
years ago, resided in New York city.
Heck had a maiden sister. Miss HUI
garthe Heck, who recently died, leav-
ing large inheritance for her surviy
ing relative, Leopold, and in case proof
of his death was established the money
was to descend to Leopold's children.
When Lawyer Arnold Barshsn was
appointed executor of the Heck estate
Hugarthe Heclz's nephews and nieces
besieged him with immediate demands
for a settlement ClamOring for their
aunt Hugarthe's dollars, they asserted
that their father, Leopold. was dead,
claiming that they had learned that he
had been killed in Denver somewhere
between the years 1879 and 1882. AS the
Heck heirs could not furnish Attorney
Barshell with a certificate of their
fathers death, he declined to recognize
all demands for a settlement and
quietly begun an investigation.
NORTH ago he wrote Chief Russell
stating the exact circumstances and
requesting him to confirm If possible
the truth or falsity of the death of
Leopold Heck. The records of tie cor
oner's office and the health department
contained no reference TO such q, per
son. Attorney Barshell's correspond
ence was published in the Evening
Pest and caught the attention of J. H.
Carver, a reputable citizen of Pueblo.
He quickly communicated with Chief
Russell, alleging that he had known

MERCUR, Oct. 26.-Tooele county
will be lively this week IS far as poll
tics is concerned. The Democratic
nominees win hold meetings in all the
settlements, commencing at Lion Hill
on Monday evening. Meetings win be
held by the Republicans in different
sections of the county also.
On Thursday evening S. r. Thurman
and r. N. Baskin will address the vot-
ers of Mercur. Thursday, Thomas Will
speak at Tooele, Friday at Grantsville
and on Saturday evening Cannon and
Holbrook will close the campaign for
the Republicans
The registration shows total of
about $500 voters in the county. The
normal vote of the Republican party
should give them a majority of 200, but
as in the rest of the state. the wo-
mans vote increases the Democratic
percentage The silver question has
made many Democrats, the influx of
population has assisted some. and fac
tional jealousy will do the rest. The
Democrats after making a thorough
canvass of the county, find they will
win by a majority ranging in the
neighborbood of 100. not q very great
majority but it will serve.
The reports of the special agents Of
The Herald are eagerly looked for, and

SPRINGFIELD. Oct. 2s.-H E.
Taubeneck, chairman of the Populist
state committee, tonight issued the fol-
lowing in reply to the circular recently
issued at Washington by N A. Dun
ming:
ITO the Populists of the state:
ION Oct. 20, 1895, N A. Dunning,
at one time editor of the National
Watchman, published at Washington,
D. c., prepared an appeal to the Popu-
list voters of the United States ct
lacking good, honest Populists. This
appeal is now printed and being cir
culated by the Republican state and
county committees throughout the
state of Illinois. 1t is intended to
create dissension and confusion among
the rank and file of the silver forces
in the state. We warn every Populist
and free silver voter to pay no atten-
ton whatever to any appeal which
may be sent out by so-called Populists
of the Paul Vanderyoort stripe. IT is
| the work of Mark A. Hanna, aided by
a few disgruntled Populists who are
lending their services to fasten the
gold standard upon our people. We
request every Populist in the state of
Illinois to spurn with indignation and
contempt the circular which may come
from the Populists working with the
Republicans.

power of a court of equity to enjoin

not deter about 400 of the voters of
Murray and vicinity from attending a
Democratic rally at the Murray Opera
House last evening. It was an en-
thusiastic gathering too, and the sew

plauded.

sided.
Among those who addressed the as

Richard Shepard.
The band and drum corps discoursed
some excellent music.
Colonel Timmony and Mr.. Shepard
gave the county commissioners a sound
dressing, all of which delighted TIE
audience. The illusions by the first
named speaker, to Archie and Chris. y
were appreciated and the people
evinced their delight by much laughter
and applause.
Mr.. Sloan made a very logical adj
dress, which was interrupted by cues

Interview with Her BY q Reporter
In Cincinnati.


Cincinnati Enquirer: There is an
old lady registered at the Indiana no.
tel who at one time was a happy occu-
pant of the White House. Mrs. A.
Davidson, who is niece of President
Andrew Jackson, arrived in this city
yesterday from Portland, Ore.
IT remember" she said, "the time
that Uncle Andrew was elected the
second time as president. / was 8
years old then. My mother, who was
his sister, and myself were invited by
President Jackson to take up our resi-
dence at the White House. 1 used to
attend a private school during the day
and romp around, the house in the
evening. There have been many
changes since then. I have seen many,
and If the national residence could give
utterances it would say that it has
seen many, too.
Mr.. Davidson and myself attended
Andrew Jackson during his illness, and
| was in attendance when he died He
was a noble soul and were he alive to-
day his battle would be for silver.
Il have been missionary out west
for the last 40 years. During that per-
iod L have lived with Mexicans and
three tribes of Indians. 1t is little to
be wondered at when I say that have
seen many changes. My efforts have
been with the Home Missionary society
of the M. E. church. At present I re-
side at Portland. Ore. Years ago
used to reside near Covington. The OBJ
ject of my visit is to secure my estates
back from those who have appropri-
ated them.

acres of land, and a Tennessee syndi-
cate has already made an offer for it.

she was injured, one would hardly be-

SANITARY COMMITTEE.
IMPORTANT MEETING WITH THE
BOARD OF HEALTH.
Utah Strengthening Company Re-
quired TO Adopt RuIes-Appropri-
alton Needed-Typhoid on the
Wane.

The committee on sanitary rules and
regulations and the board of health
held joint meeting last night and dis
cussed matters affecting the santa
ton of the city.
The Utah Slaughtering company,
which has been such a source of an
noyance to the, health department,
was dealt with, and it was decided to
request the company to connect with
the gravity sewer, which runs in front
of their slaughter yards. The company
will also be required to burn all its
offal or else pay the city for having
1t transported and burned at the Gre
matory. Heretofore all the offal has
been burned near the yards, and the
result has not been very satisfactory
from a sanitary point of view.
The sanitary committee also decided
to ask the council for an appropria-
ton of $3.50 with which to clean out
Lambs canyon and other principal
tributaries to Parley's creek, from
which the city secures a portion OF it's
water supply.
One of the most important matters
before the meeting was the health
commissioners communication asking
for an appropriation of $500 to pur-
chase microscopes and other instru-
ments for the investigation of dis
eases. Many cases of supposed diph-
iberia are reported from time to time
when the presumption is great that
such a condition exists, and where the
means of making a proper diagnosis
are not at hand, producing in many in
stances quarantining in the strictest
sense which necessitates, among other
things, the detention of the providers
n f1 or q 70
ton from their families. To obviate
in a measure this disagreeable condi-
ton Health Commissioner Daily asked
the council few " eeks ago to APP
propriate this amount for the purpose
of providing a microscope and proper
attachments as well as sterilized tubes,
the latter of which, by proper in
structions, could be left at the various
drug stores about the city convenient
for physicians and others who are prac-
ticing or caring for such cases, where
specimens from the threats of sus-
poets could be placed in these tubes
and taken to the board of health for
proper analysis.
While the sum of $500 was consid-
cred inadequate with which to procure
the necessary apparatus, it was never
theless decided that it would do in
starting a laboratory for this purpose,
and the committee recommended that
the amount be appropriated. It now
rests with the finance committee to
say whether the amount shall be
forthcoming for such a commendable
purpose.
The typhoid fever situation was not
discussed to any great extent. The
epidemic is on the wane, and the de-
partment with its limited force is able
to cope with the emergency.
