NEW YORK, Jan. PA special
from Havana to the World after re-
viewing in detail the intrigues in Cuba,
to bring about the recall Of General
Campos says:
General Campos refused to resign
and placed himself in the hands of the
Spanish ministry. The responsibility
was thrown on the latter.
The greatest difficulty in the way OF
success of the plot was the queen re-
gent of Spain. This excellent woman
is a devoted friend of General Cam
pos whom she regards as father TO
her. Her consent was necessary be
fore General Campos could be removed.
A bold stroke was made to secure this.
It was represented to the queen that
the fife of the captain general was in
danger from the Havana mob; that
his valor and tenacity would prevent
him from avoiding or yielding and the
only safe thing to do to get him out
of the way was to recall him.. The
fact was ignored that Havana was
perfectly quiet, that there was plenty
of troops within call and that General
Campos himself reported no disorders.
The queen consented to his recall and
the enemies of the general triumphed.
Immediately after the order had been
issued the queen addressed a long ca
bic message to General Campos. She
informed him that she believed him
to be in danger. She renewed her con-
fdence and regard and altogether sent
a sincere friendly message that eX-
pressed her heart feelings.
General Campos understood the sit
uation perfectly. He determined to go
home untrammeled. He declined a
highly honorable post offered him by
the government and he will immedi-
ately resume his place as a senator of
Spain.

An Animated Machine
eresting Conversation With a
Great and Honest Scientific Man.

The most remarkable machine IN
the world is the human body"
He was a professor in a New York
medical college who declared this to a
number of friends at the club. Con-
tinuing he said:
Take for example the heart. Did
you ever stop to think that it works
every minute of the life and never has
q vacation or rest?''
and then there are the kidneys.
which have been truly called the filter
of the body They separate every par
ticle of liquid that passes from the
body, except that which ooZes through
the pores
did it ever occur to you that this
machine might wear out from over
work, over-taxation, oYer-exertion?
And so it does in too many cases."
For more than five hundred years
the world and the medical profession
CROPPED in the dark for a remedy to sus-
tain the kidneys, or cure them if they
had become weakened or diseased, and
it was only within the past twenty
years that any remedy was found. Dr.
Bright discovered the disease known
as Bright's disease, but he could not
and did not find remedy. 1t remained
for modern research to discover this
remedy. We know it was a long search
but at last it was found, and that rem
edy today, which is acknowledged as
the only remedy for kidney troubles,
the weaknesses of women and Brights
disease itself, is Warmers Safe Cure,
which is admitted by professional and
scientific men throughout the entire
world, to be the great modern dis
covery, and the only one for these
troubles"
This remedy is not an experiment.
1t has been used for over twenty years
In all parts of the world, and there
are more than a million persons In the
universe today whose lives have been
saved, or who have been benefited by
it's use. 1t is a high, standard, scien-
ttdc preparation, as far above ordi-
nary remedies for this great modern
disease as the oak is above the mush-
room"
Where such serious things as the
greatest organs of the body are con
cerned, no man and no woman can af-
ford to take chances. The best is the
cheapest and where health is involved
it is absolutely beyond question that
the most standard, the most scientific
and that which alone has been proven
to be powerful and good should he
uSed."

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 24.-Ofde Downs,
the drummer boy in the Dodge street
school, Gained a panic and prevented
terrible calamity among 500 children.
He is less than IA years old, but the
moment he heard the hall gong sound
the alarm of fire, he did not forget ne
had important business. 1t was the
crisis for which his little head had been
trained and his courage in the presence
of a ratified principal and eXc!ted
teachers saved a dead and injured INST.
This young chap has been the mill
tary band of the school. 1t mas peeh
his duty twice a day to stand at the
bottom of the stairs and march out
the scholars to the step OF an army
rattle. This exercise was called the
fire drill, and the pupils, from the in
FAINT class up. were told they must
never hesitate when the drum should
sound. Each tot knew his place IN
the line, and so accurately and thor
oughly were the rooms trained that
Principal Allen boosted the big build
ing could be emptied in two minutes.
He had a chance to practically test ms
boast. He had hoped, despite the
good discipline, that the expected cat
astrophe would never happen.
He was quietly seated in his room
about 9 o'clock when Miss Hughes,
pale and excited from fright, dashed in
with the cry that the building was on
fire. She FASTENED back to her charges
and Prof. Allen ran to the gong. They
heard the rush of the children up stairs
and the alarms from the other teach
ers There was a stampede and in the
excitement no one remembered the nre
rules or the drummer boy.
Ofie Downs kept his head.
He saw the smoke coming through
the register. He did not think 1t was
necessary to ask permission to leave
the room. He rapidly passed the in
structors without a word and went
down the two flights of stairs on the
run. He wanted the drum and he got
it.
Principal Allen was not in his room
but the young hero did not hesitate
to enter He pulled the instrument
down from the hook and slung the
strap over his shoulder, and plunged
into the hall. The smoke was now so
dense he could barely see his way and
. on the floor above he heard the teach
ers shouting to the children to remain
in order.
There were fire engines rafting out
side but like soldier in battle Offie
Downs stood at his post.
He picked his way to the bottom of
the stairs just as the 500 pupils appear
ed in bend at the top of the stairs.
He pounded the drum for dear life. The
very first sound from it acted like
magic.
Mr.. Allen pulled three little girls
and one boy from under the feet of
rushing children and commanded them
to keep step to the music The little
ones then remembered their lessons
and to the music calmly came down
the long flight, as they had done a
thousand times before. Smoke filled
the entire building, but in a minute
from the time the band began to play
there was not a child in it.
The boy waited until Mr.. Allen told
him everybody was safe and then he
came down the front steps The crowd
cheered, and last night 500 families
sang the praise of his young courage.

GIGANTIC AsSoCIArIoN.
Thirty Railroad Systems Form the
ca,+ra1 Passenger Organization.

Thirty Railroad Systems Form the
Central Passenger Organization.
CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-After two days
session behind closed doors, officers of
more than thirty railroad systems formed
a gigantic association in this city last
evening.
The Organization will be known as the
Central Passenger committee and will
include all the present roads in the terri
tory bounded by Toledo. Buffalo and
Pittsburg on the east, Chicago, Peoria
and ST Louis on the west, the Grand
Trunk of Canada and lakes Huron and
Michigan on the north, and the Ohio river
on the south. The association will have
absolute jurisdiction and control over all
passenger affairs in this big territory and
will be entirely independent of and in
no way subsidiary to the presidents joint
traffic pool, the operation of Which the
interstate commerce commission is now
attempting to enjoin at New York.
The headquarters of the new organiza-
ton will be in Chicago from which point
all passenger matters in the above terri
tory will be directed. The combine is
not a pool in any sense of the word but
has been formed for the purpose OF agree
ing upon and maintaining uniform rates
of fare Under the agreement signed
each road will be subjected to fines for
other infraction of its provisions. CUES
lions which cannot be settled by the
chairman will be referred to arbitration.
The differential fare principle is recog-
nfzed by the new agreement which means
that there will continue to be two classes
of roads in this territory, the standard
and the differential lines.

TIE CITY SCHOOLS.

The schools have been lively during
the past week. With examinations and
such Ike the pupils are pretty tired. The
paper published by Miss Laura Beebe is
worthy of much praise The pages are
covered with drawings from the hand of
the editoress.
Room Ii at the Oquirrh has now got a
new teacher, Mrs. Straup.
The various schools have chosen the
largest and best built boys for drilling
club. Each school has a commander of
its own.
The children are anxiously awaiting for
The Herald's new contest and promise
to do as much justice to it as they did to
the last
1t is surprising to a passer-by to see
the fine libraries that the different schools
have got. Some schools have from 500 to
Prof. Augsburg is quite a favorite
among the pupils. One of the rooms is
preparing for him beautiful drawing
which any one might be proud of.
The Lowell has got some of the orators
of the future and before long they will
cross swords with the members of the
Oquirrh school in joint debate.
The programme given at the Sixteenth
ward meeting house by the pupils of the
jackson school on Thursday evening was
a great success. The singing of the
chorus was exceedingly fine. The recita-
ton by Miss Maggie Thomas was de-
serving of great credit. The other num-
bers were rendered very merttoriously

ARE RICE EATERS BLooDTH1RsTY

It may be admitted that diet has
more or less influence upon character;
but mildness, gentleness, and kindred
virtues are by no means universally
found among those races which alb
stain from animal food. Vegetarians
are prone to contrast the gentleness of
our domesticated herbivora with the
ferocity often displayed by carnivor-
Gus animals. A little reflection, how
ever, shows that the food cannot be
the main cause of the disposition in
either case. Many Of the herbivora
are capable of displaying the utmost
ferocity; savage attacks upon the Of
fensiye persons by bulls, horses, and
stays are by no means uncommon in
this country; while in the east, ''rogue"
elephants, wild boars, and other her
bivorous animals often infict serious
injuries upon human beings who
chance to come liz their way. So, like
wise, the ordinary mild Hindu, feeding
on rice or wheat flour, is liable to be-
come riotouS, uncomfortable and blood
thirsty when Influenced by religious
fanaticism. 1t would seem that the
mischievous effects upon the habits
and disposition, ascribed to animal
food, are due rather to the alcoholic
liquors which are generally consumed
at the same time. The disposition of
an average individual leading a tenn
perate life would probably not be al
tered for the better were he to sub
stitute vegetarian diet for his ordinary
fare.-Fortnightly Review.

CHICAGO. Jan. 24.-Passenger rates
between Colorado common points were
restored today by the Atchison road.
This action was taken in consequence
Of the Denver & Gulf having cleared
the Colorado markets of ali its special
tickets, which it put on the market so
freely during the progress of the fight
over coal rates. An agreement has been
reached on all points of differences be-
tween the two lines and the coal rates,
as well as those on passenger business,
have been restored.

A. New Plan For Reorganizing the
Great System.

NEW YORK. Jan. 24.-Attorney Car
rison, who represents the first mort
gage bondholders of the Union Pacific
railroad, whose holdings amount to
over $5,OOO,0 900, has prepared "a bill he
will ask Congressman Powers, chair
man of the committee on Pacific rail
roads, to bring before congress. The
plan includes the appointment of three
government commissioners who shall
secure the cooperation of all the other
creditors they can enlist in bringing
about a foreclosure through the COM
pany's failure to pay interest ON the
last three coupons due and buy the
road at the sale. An organization
would be made by issuing new first
mortgage bonds for the full amount Of
the debt at a rate which the commits
sioners might decide was justified by
the net earnings of the road.

Ex-Territorial Treasurer Whitehead
yesterday filed with Governor Wells his
statement Of receipts and disbursements
for the period of two years December
81. 1893. to December 81, 1895, and also
made certain recommendations in re-
gard to needed legislation pertaining to
the treasurer's department of the state
Mr.. Whiteheads report in full is as fol-
lows:
Salt Lake City, Utah, December 81, 1895.
To the Honorable Heber NJ Wells. Gov
ernor Of the State of Utah
Dear sir-I have the honor to submit
herewith my report of the receipts and
disbursements for the biennial period of
time from December 31st, 1898. to De-
cember S1st. 1885. inclusive, with the bal
ance remaining in the treasury on the
latter date.
In reply to your request to make such
recommendations as your experience and
judgment may suggest in regard TO the
future management Of the treasury, or
Improvement in the present laws, will
be appreciated
L would recommend the laws recurring
county collectors to receive warrants and
court certificates be repealed and thereby
give the state treasurer an opportunity
10 distribute his funds intelligently. as
now no basis Of calculation on cash re-
ceiDts can be made.
The present law is a harvest for the
SPECTATORS who buy the court certiti-
Gates at heavy discount from the Jury
men as soon as their services are per
formed and hold them until taxes are to
be paid and dispose of them TO the tax
payers at a big margin, lesSening the
cash receipts Of the treasury, defeat
ing the law requiring court certificates
to be paid first out of moneys in the
treasury, as the amount received on ac-
count Of taxes should be deducted from
the appropriation to court commission
ers a calculation Of which cannot be
made until all the taxes are in.
The owners Of territorial warrants have
been compelled to enter the arena of
the bulls and bears to dispose of the
territOry'S obligations at whatever price
to use them in payment Of taxes thereby
defeating the law Of payment in rota-
ton Of registration, and casting disczedit
upon the state and forcing the various
boards of our state institutions to borrow
money at a heavy rate Of interest To
barter and trade on the states credit
Is beneath the dignity of the gentlemen
who compose these boards.
OF the amount dISburSed by this Office.
$4,000 was interest on territorial bonds.
bearing 8 per cent The exchange charged
for paying and cancelling the coupons
is II Of per cent, $3.50.
There are large number Of books and
papers on storage at the store building
of Spencer ClaWSOn & company, whose
charges for the same are 800 for the
period Of two years.
1 most earnestly request that you re-
commend the appropriation of these two
amounts. Respectfully submitted,
