Utah Citizens Join In Welcoming the Boiling

SALT LAKE, Utah, June Ex-senator
Cannon and Representative Allen OF

Hundreds of adriring citizens met
them at the depot with carriages, flow

See the Conquering Hero Comes and a
great hurrah went up from the crowd.
When the champion of the white metal
stepped to the platform cheer after cheer
rent the air and a stampede occurred as
the crowd rushed to shake the hands
of the convention boilers.
They We're escorted to the Knutsford
hotel where they received an ovation and
each spoke briefly of their actions at St.
Louis.
The speakers declared their faith in
Republican principles, excepting those
outlined in the financial plank at St.
Louis.
mass meeting was held at the thea
ter tonight, to which all friends of sill
YER, Irrespective of party, were invited.
Senator Cannon, Congressman Allen
and A. c. Cleveland were the speakers.
All the gentlemen were greeted enthu-
siastically and the reception given was a
flattering one. Senator Cannon declared
that he was still a Republican as far as
the principles of the party in Utah were
concerned, but that he and his associates
had been read out of the party at St.
Louis He said the war as to silver was
on and would be settled at the polls this
fall He advocated the sacrifice of ambi-
ton by the Democrats at Chicago and
the nominate of Senator Teller of Colo
RADIO for president on a platform which
shall declare for the free coinage of sill
yer. Protection was an issue which cur
no figure, in the speakers opinion, no
party daring to tinker with the tariff
until the financial question was settled.

FIRE AT RED BLUFF
Whole Block Burned, Entaillng a Heavy
Loss

RED BLUFF June ga disastrous fire
occurred here this afternoon causing a loss
of $4,000. A high north wind was blowing
and the flames did not stop until an open
space of about one block prevented fur

worked gallantly, but the fire could not be
controlled. Two half blocks in length were
burned, including the one-story dwellings
of j. n. Gregg, two of Samuel Lewis. one
of A. p. Sederland, one of Landerholm, one
of II. Pendleton and two one-story houses
of George Madison and j. Pendleton. The
barns of Madison and j. j. Grinnell were

Less Noise but Equal lnsistence on Free
Coinage

Less Noise but Equal lnsistence on Free
Coinage
COLUMBUS,O., June 23.-The prelim-
mary meetings tonight show that the
silver men have almost GOO of the $50
delegates in the convention which meets
tomorrow. At the district meetings the
silver men carried seventeen of tho
congressional districts and the gold men
four. The committee on resolutions and
other committees including the state
central committee, stands seventeen to
four. The Ohio delegation to Chicago.
when the delegates are all chosen, will
probably stand thirty eight to eight
for free silver, although the silver men
claim forty to six. With their large
majority in this convention, the silver
men intend tomorrow to instruct the
Ohio delegation in favor of free silver
coinage, and to vote as unit, so that
the four gold districts, which include the
cities of Dayton, Hamilton, Toledo and
Cleveland, will be shut out.
While the instructions on free silver
will be ironclad, there will be no instruc-
tons for president. Most of the county
conventions had endorsed Ex-Governor
wave for silver set in, and now the sill
Yer members claim that Campbell is
too conservative on the financial ques-
ton Meantime, John w. Bookwalter,
an original free silver man, who was the
Democratic candidate for governor
against Charles Foster in 1881, has
worked up quite sentiment in favor
of his endorsement for president.
Campbell and his friends openly OPP
pose Bookwalter. The fight between
them was stopped today by the friends
of j. r. Mclean, who said they would
oppose either instructions or the en-
dorsement of any one for president 1t
is understood that this movement is in
the interest of Mclean for the national

A MORTGAGE SALE
The Tabor Block at Denver Said Under Fore
clGsuFa

DENVER, Col. June 23.-The Tabor
opera house and the Tabor block were sold
at auction today under foreclosure by the
Northwestern Mutual Aid and Life Insur-
ance company of Milwaukee to satisfy a
trust deed which, with interest and costs,
amounts to $4SS,143. The company bid in
the property at the amount of the claim.
This sale is not final as Mrs. Laura ID.
Smith, who holds a second trust against
the property for $271 200, has obtained an
order from the court permitting her to
foreclose. To protect her interests she will
probably be obliged to buy the property and
assume the first trust.
Ex-senator Tabor will have six months
to redeem the property.

Eneene Fields Last Story.

In 1884 Eugene Field wrote story
which he called 1.-THE Werewolf .
When it was finished he laid it aside
and a year afterwaro entirely rewrote
it. In 1856 h again took it up and
revised it, and during ne nine years
between that time and his death in
November last, he rewrote it eight
times. His last revision pleased him,
he decided to print it. But death came
too suddenly. and the story was found
unpublished, among his effects. Mrs.
Field, concluding TO have the story
appear, gave it to the editor of The
Ladies' Home Journal, in which
magazine all of Mr.. Fields work,
outside OF his newspaper articles, was
presented to the public. The story
will be printed in the next issue of
that Journal, strikingly illustrated by
Mr.. Howard Pyle.
