SpringViIle SpIinters.
SPRINGVILLE, July ia lovely
shower was vouchsafed to the people
of this baliwick without the flood that
has been sent less fortunate towns in
the state. This shower was given very
quietly, without any assistance of Old
Boreas, enthusiastic Pluvius, or boEs
of Jove accompaniment.
School election was held Monday at
2 D. m. Shortly after the polls opened
considerable dfsmay was created in the
Democratic ranks when it was learned
that the name of Mrs. Ella Hayward
was being scratched by all the Repub-
leans and the name Of Mrs. V. N.
Hall, the president of the Ladies' Re
publican club, substituted. This would
be all right had not definite arrange
ments been made between the leaders
of both parts to be entirely non-parti-
san. A meeting of the citizens was
called signed by Chairman Roylance OF
the Democrats and Chairman Smell of
the Republicans, at which the largest
assemblage of people ever seen was
here congregated to nominate the new
school board. The Republican wing of
the meeting nominated Mr.. o. H.
Mower and the Democrats Mr.. A. T.
Southworth. Then the nomination of
the third trustee was up and those
two ladies were placed, resulting in
very close vote, with Mrs Hayward
leading by or votes. She was de-
clared the winner, and the choice made
unanimous for Mrs. Hayward, none dis
senting All citizens were congratulate
ing each other over the pleasant COM
mingling and harmony of both parties,
and this scratching of Mrs. Hayward's
name came as a sort of thunderbolt
out of a clear sky. Chairman Roylance
of the Democrats Immediately secured
the cooperation of a number of trust
ed lieutenants TO offset this breach of
confidence They began rushing in
Democratic voters. He also called on
a number of prominent Republicans,
Chairman Shell among others, and
found the disaffection and scratching
was done by a few malcontents who
did not represent the respectable ele-
ments of the Republican party. These
gentlemen turned in Immediately and
assisted in carrying the straight ticket,
resulting IN a vote of 1S8 to Il. The
general opinion among the Democrats
and high-minded Republicans is that
Mrs. Hayward would have been de-
feated had not effective methods been
adopted to coUnteract these underhand-
ed tactics. Be it said to the credit of
Mr.. Smell, Mr.. T. c. Boyer, Mr.. Will
liam Swension, Nephi Strow and some
other prominent Republicans, that
they were indignant that such despic-
able methods should be injected into
the "non-partisan" school election. For
a time it looked as though a bitter, par
tisan fight was to be precipitated, but
when some of the liberal Republicans
and conservative Democrats looked the
field over it was found to be more of a
bitter fractional fight than any real de-
sire to create dissension.
Milan Packard, the most radical Re
publican of this town, has announced
his intention to vote for Bryan, but will
vote for protection legislators and local
officers.
Bryan suits every one hereabouts, and
will undoubtedly carry the Democratic
ticket for Springville without Maple
ton.
John and Abraham jenkins of Nam
moth are a couple Of lads who believe
in doing things up i'm short order, not
excepting the great step Of matrimony.
On independence day they came over
to Springville to celebrate, and met two
charming young ladies, who are known
as Misses Annie Powell and Rose Ost-
Ter, lassies of Is and 10, respectively. /
They said will you have us?" The de-
mure answer was yes" They all went
to Provo and secured the necessary le-
gal O. K, and were joined in the mys-
tic bonds of wedlock. Cakes and other
deiicacies were made by James Steven
son, the Caledonia bread builder Of
Springville.
The following letter has been received
by Mr. Curtis of this city. 1t has long
been his idea to have a practical test
of the efficacy of his Autograph stone.
The proof accompanying the letter
shows the availability for service of a
stone 24x32 inches, aggregating in COM
mercial value of about $50. In fact, the
company made Mr.. Curtis an urgent
offer of S35 for this one stone. Mr..
Curtis is enthusiastic over the final re-
suit of his years OF arduous labor. The
letter is as follows:
