 Writing from London under date of | Oct. l2, to GenI Geo. Roskruge, Mr. Enoch Kenyon, formerly of this city says in part that certain business affairn would have received his attention | earlier, had It not been for ''the out. | break ot the Ksffirs ID Rhodsnsia." HO says further: "We were called into the fort early in the year, and had to do duty every day, expecting at any time l an attack, put glad to say none came. | We were in tpis condition iqr i've months, no mails coming ID or going out. la July last It was thought we wero safe; so @ nomb of us asked leave of l absence ard got 1t.

They wero htisched to other columns, consequent ly did not return. Eariy in tue year the Rinderpest broke ous amongst the cattle and destroyed over 90 par cent. SO that we had to walk out, carrying our rifles, women excepted, 6 wagon being provided. We walked 320 miles the first l6 dave, going in g south west direc- non, came t1 McClonchy. From tbero we got Kstfir wagon and went to the railroad terminus, Gsteroues, BIO miIeo further in the same direction; thence by rsil to Kimberly; !; stopped one day and went through the principal mine and through the crushing and assorting works; then on to Cspetown; there one week and 5y steamer here, on the 9th inst

On Wednesday November 49,,
1896, the st. George Tabernacle
Choir returned from Cedar City,
where seven choirs of the sweet
singers of Zion met together for
mutual benefit and they gave two
concerts and had joyful time
mlngling their voices in sweet
strains of music, where they
formed ties of friendship that
will be remembered in years to
come. We understand it is the
intention Of the Choirs to have
these gatherings annually. There
were % members Of the St. George
Choir, under the leadership of
Joseph w. McAllister, who attend
ed the festival, and they speak in
words of praise of the people of
Ceader City and the kind manner
in which they treated our singers.
That ia right. We love to see
good feelings exist between the
music fraternity.

cured what they consider a mighty
valuable campaign document in the
shape of letter alleged to have been
written by nominee Bryan to George
NJ. Garden of Dallas, Tex, on February
is, 1898. The letter they say, justifies
the sound money bolt and destroys the
criticism of Bryan upon the action of
the gold men at Chicago. Here are
the extracts that will be spread broad
cast by the committee:
'As early as 1898, when the Demo-
cratic state convention of Nebraska.
controlled by candidates for federal
offices, endorsed the presidents finan-
cial policy, [ stated that l would not
follow the Democratic party to a gold
standard. Directed by my conscience,
by my best judgment shall use that
vote to defend my rights, protect by
family and advance the welfare of So
ciety. No convention can rob me of
my convictions, nor can any party or
ganizatiOn drive me to conspire against
prosperity, liberty or my country.
Men who honestly differ upon para
mount public questions cannot afford
to be harmonized by national conven-
ton. Cleveland would not support a
free silver candidate for the presi-
dencv. He should not do so, if he real
~ believes free coinage would ruin the
country, because a mans duty to his
country is higher than his duty to his
party. w. j. BRYAN"

THEY ARE POSTING
THEMSELVES
People of the United States Are
Studying the Financial Ques-
ton as Never Before.

NEW YORK, Aug. ia Trib-
une special from Washington says:
Not in the memory of the Oldest
employee of the treasury depart
ment has the demand for informa-
ton on financial matters been so
great as at present.
Mr. Preston, director of the mint,
is daily in receipt of about 1000 let
ters Of inquiry about financial mat
ters, every one of which is replied
to, provided it is of a character shat
permits of an answer. In some
cases these letters are referred to
three of four bureaus of the depart
ment in order to get the required
information. Mr.. Preston has de-
tailed one clerk, whose sole duty it
is to attend to such work. Great
care is taken 20 express no "opin-
ion" in these replies, and only the
coolest facts are given. Now and
then an abusive letter is received,
but they are very rare. There is no
doubt but the American people are
studying finance as they never be
fore studied it, and the treasury de-
partment is doing what it can to
distribute cold facts, allowing the
students to draw their own conclu-
sions.
One class of inquirers do not get
replies that are satisfactory to them.
They are the men who write what
the effect of this or that kind of
legislation would be. The answer
to which would be giving an opinion,
which the department cannot do.

BOISE, Ida, Aug. 19-The Demo-
cratic and Populist conventions made
but little Roadway today. The Popu-
lists appointed a conference committee
to meet with the fusion committee APP
pointed the day before by the Demo-
Gratis The news of the appointment
of the Populist committee caused a big
demonstration in the Democratic con-
vention. The committees organized sep
arately and they went together. They
have been in session all afternoon and
will probably remain together all
night 1t is reported tonight that the
committees will report to their re-
spective conventions, recommending
that the Democrats be given the COVER
nor, supreme court justice, attorney
general, state treasurer and mine in
spector, and the Populists the con-
gresham and all the remaining state
Offices. 1t was also reported that the
Populists were to get the senator,
but this is denied by the Democrats.
The senatorship will likely prove the
bone of contention. The Populists are
insisting on it, and the middle of the
road Democrats and Populists are urg
ing it, in the hope of breaking the
back CT the fusion movement.
IT IS UNDERSTOOD
the majority of the Democrats are
willing to agree to support the Popu-
list nominee at the next legislature,
but will not submit to the Populists
nominating the senator at this time.
The silver Republicans today left the
Democrats and devoted their entire at
tention to the Populists, they endeavor-
ing by this means to prevent a. fusion
of the Democrats and Populists, hoping
to then be able to make terms with one
or both of those parties. In the Popu-
list convention today an effort was
made to secure a place in the order of
business for the nomination of United
States senator, but it was defeated.
The move was concocted by the silver
Republicans and middle -the-road
Populsts, who believed the nominal
ton of United States senator would
preclude the possibility of a fusion with
the Democrats.
The Populists today named Hon. J..
w. Ballantine of Bellevue as perma-
nent chairman. The committee ON res
olutions unanimously agreed to report
a strong suffrage plank.
THE DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS
will give recognition to the principle of
political equality, but will not be as
strong as the suffragists urge it.
Late this evening a report was cir
culated that a faction of the Popu-
lists would insist ON Bryan and Wat
son electors, but not a PopUlist could
be found who would father any such
statement. 1t may be safely stated
that nothing but Bryan and Sewall
electors will even be considered by the
Populists.
