her of indoor society affairs was no

picknickers and excursionists.
Thursday afternoon at the pleasant
home of c. C. Richards on Lincoln
avenue Miss Pearl Richards gave a de-
lightful party in honor of her cousin,
Miss Lucille Richards of salt Lake
TIE Only unpleasant element IN all the
festivities was the knowledge that Miss
Lucille was to leave for her Salt Lake
home on the evening train.
The spacious lawn was the scene or
most of the festivities. A peanut
hunt" was the first game played and
furnished much amusement There
were peanuts hidden IN every imag1n-
able, and particularly in every un-m-
aginable, place about the lawn and
shrubbery. After a thorough search
it was found that Miss Salisbury OF
Salt Lake had found the larges- num-

least number. The first .)rize, awarded
to Miss Salisbury, was a dainty cup
and saucer. Other games were played,

Another murder from superstition has
occurred in Russia. Two peasants of Os-
trogojshk, in the province of Voronetsz,
Thought it would help their plans If they
could become invisible. This, according
to an ancient belief, can be accomplished
by lighting a candle made of human tall
and murdered an 1s-year-old boy of the
village and removed the parts of his body
suitable for candle making, which they
took to their room. There the peculiar
odor attracted the attention of their land
lady, who called in the police The men
without hesitation confessed the crime
and explained the motive.

CARTER rs. CARTIER.

Judge Ritchie heard the divorce suit
of Hannah Carter against Charles w.
Carter, with Attorney A. V. Taylor
appearing for the plaintiff, and the
defendant unrepresented.
Mrs. Carter testified that the mar
riage took place on August %, 1873, and
that the defendant fer a long time
had wilfully failed and neglected to
supply her and her children with the
common necessaries of life. Her tes-
timony was corroborated by J. H.
Featherstone and the decree was
granted as prayed.

Judge Richie also granted a di-
vorce to Ellen Otley from Thomas
Otlay by default The plaintiff, who
is quite an elderly woman, probably
Go years of age, tested that her hus-
band was addicted to habdtual drunk

uted nothing to her support. His con-
duct was so bad that she left him
fifteen years ago.

alive evidence, and his honor granted
the decree.

MCKINLEY REPUDIATED.

A resolution was presented which
brought the silver question squarely to
the front
To endorse or not to endorse McKin-
ley and the Republican platform was
the question discussed long and earn
estly by all present. Finally, by unan-
imous vote, it was decided as the
sentiment Of county committee that
State Committeeman Wade should use
his utmost efforts before the state com
mittee to urge that committee to omit
from the cali for the convention the
naming of state electors as one Of the
objects of the convention.
1t was further resolved that it was
the judgment of the county committee
that the state convention should not
endorse the last Republican platform
so far as it's financial plank was con-
cerned, nor endorse the candidates
nominated on that platform.
1t was decided as a, matter of party
policy that the Republicans would
srtuliify themselves by repTdiating their
platforms Of past years and would
jeopordize the success of the party at
the polls by endorsing the gold plat
form. This they could not afford to
do when a member TO congress and
senator are to be elected. On the street
comment was very favorable to the &C
ton of the committee

Yesterday morning the Republican
county committee met in the county
court house. Chairman Dix called the
meeting to order. Secretary Thompson
was not present and Sanford C. Wat
son was elected as secretary pro tenn.
There were present eleven of the COM
mitteemen, and several held proxies of
olner members. AS most of the meas
ures passed were practically unanimous
there can be question of the legality Of
the committees actions. A resolution
favoring Ogden as the place for hold
ing the next Republican state conven-
ton and instructing Committeeman
Wade to use his efforts to bring about
such action, was adopted. A commit
tee to draft appropriate resolutions
was appointed
