WONDERFUL POWER OVER AMI

Nine. Bonheur has repeatedly gone in

A FRENCH WOMAN WRITER.

When "Gyp" in 1880 sent to La Vie
Parisienne several articles and sketch
es, and had the pleasure of seeing them
published, this is the way she was
requested to appear on the scene: The
cavalry officer who is stationed at -,
who has sent in various contributions
to this paper, is requested to send in
his name in order to settle accounts"
Shortly after Nine. la Countess De
Martel De Joinville sent in her card to
the editor and announced herself to be
the only cavalry officer in the case.
Her perfect knowledge of horses, her
acquaintance with military life, the
bold handwriting and the postmark of
a large garrison town of Lorraine led
TO the mistake. Her wit and talent led
to her taking up literary work as pro-
fession, and she has ever since con-
tinued to work for the well-known
journal that published her first efforts.
She is a prolific writer, so her work is
unequal in merit. but there is a spice
of originality, and her forte is showing
up in the most amusing way the follies
of the aristocracy of France, to which
she belongs. She is guilty of pad
ding" but she is undeniably clever
and has created for us types of the
fashionable Parisians in lie P tit
Bob" Mile. Soulin" and "Paulette.
Her work is absolutely Partisan, fin
ished, graceful, but hooking and full
of slang. Personally she is not fond OF
society, but lives at Neuilly, in a large
house surrounded by gardens, where
she both writes and paints, her favor
tie diversion being horseback riding.
She has a son about 20 and a daughter

WESTERN r1ANAGERS.
Attempts to StFen Grain Rates
Much Feeling shown.

Much Feeling shown.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-The general
managers of the western lines met to-
day for the purpose of taking some &C
ton calculated to sttffen grain rates,
but they had poor success. While the
meeting was in session it was announc-
ed the Missouri Pacific had reduced
the rates between the Missouri and
Mississippi to 4 cents I'd that the
Great Western had taken another slice
cut of the rates between Kansas City
and Chicago by reducing the rate to
cents, cut Of > cents. This reduc-
ton gees into effect ait once. No ac-
ton toward meeting it was taken by
the other lines but there is a general
feeling that they will be compelled to
make the same rates as the Great
Western. Among the grain men the
opinion is that the rates will be re-
duced still more in the near future,
some holding that the rate will yet be
10 cents from Kansas City to New
York. A meeting of the Colorado lines
in the Western Passenger association
was held today for the purpose of de-
termining the running OF several eXcur-
sions from the eastern territory of the
Western Passenger association. Ii was
uGtluSu ~ IOU SEVER al tAEQISiOAS Jul
ing next month The excursion bust
ness to the west had been lighter this
year than for many years and the
roads are very anxious to do some
thing to increase the volume of their
traffic.
There is considerable feeling among
the lines of the freight association
against the officials of the Joint Traf-
fic association because of the refusal
of that organization to rescind its ac-
ton regarding the reduction of rates
on corn from, Missouri river points to
New York. The cut was made some
time since and was from 40 to % cents.
The Central association roads tried
hard 70 have the reduction removed
but the joint traffic people were firm
and said that the immense amount of
cribbed corn in the west justified the
reduction. The result has been, the
general roads claim, that the gulf lines
have been compelled to take an active
part in the fight with the result that
they are getting the bulk of the traffic
and taking from both western and cen
trail roads immense amounts of buzz
ness .hat otherwise would have come
through Chicago. The central commit
tee people are inclined to lay ali the
blame for this condition of affairs on
the shoulders of the joint traffic asso-
citation and they are sore accordingly.

GREENHoRNs AXE LUCKY.

There is an axiom among mining
prospectors that while knowledge of
mineralogy is a first necessity for a
man starting out to hunt for the prec-
ious ore, yet the richest finds are often
made by the rankest tenderfoot. 1t is
well illustrated in a recent rich find
near Salt Lake City, Utah,
says an exchange. Willard Weihe,
a violin soloist in the taberna-
Gle, was walking in City Creek canyon,
on the outskirts of the city, when he
kicked aside some rock that struck
him as being unusual in appearance
Out of pure curiosity he carried piece
of the rock back to town and had it.
assayed. It showed $500 in gold and $40
in silver to the ton. Weihe was so
much surprised he almost tainted.
Then, when he recovered, he hurried
back to where he found the rock, with
out mentioning the matter to anyone,
and staked out a large number OF
claims for himself and friends. Now
considerable camp has sprung up, and
the workings bear out the promise in
Weihes chance strike.

city today that Nebraska will present
another candidate for president. j..
Sterling Morton, secretary of agricul-
ture has been in Nebraska for a week
or more at Arbor Lodge, his farm
home, near Nebraska City. 1t has

MI Morton contemplated announcing
himself as a candidate for the presi-

LONDON, July c9-In commenting

presses the belief that after the pre-
liminary committee has inquired into

to reduce the sentences.
The Daily Telegraph considers that
the court has found a medium betweer5

AFFAIRS OF STATE.
AN OPINION GIVEN BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL BISHOP.
Costs in Criminal Cases Removed
From One County to Another ON
Change of Venue-NationaI Guard
Matters.

The following opinion relative to the
costs in criminal cases removed from one
county on account of change of venue to
another was given out yesterday by the
Encouragement:
Office of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
Salt Lake City, Utah, July %, 1896.
H. c. Hullinger, Esq, Chairman of the
Board or County Commissioners, Vernal,
Utah:
Dear Sir-I have before me your favor
of the End inst relative to the costs iii
criminal cases removed from one county
on account of change of venue to an
other, as to the liability for costs after
such removal, etc. A question involving
the same points of law was submitted TO
this office by Mr.. Jacob Evans, assistant
county attorney OF your county a few
days ago and was replied to at the time.
Section 16l OF the county government bail,
found on page 572 of the laws of 1886,
provides: when a criminal action is re-
moved before trial the costs accruing
upon such removal shall be a charge
against the county in which the lndict-
ment or information was found" This
would seem TO settle definitely the ques-
ton of liability for costs in cases of this
kind
You also asked to be advised: BY what
rule Of law does any county become re-
cases?" In reply thereto will say that
section 165 of the same bill is sufficiently
broad, in my opinion, 10 render counties
liable for ali costs and expenses in Grim
1nal cases which are not specifically made
charge against the state.
AS to what was made a. special charge
against the state 1 beg to refer you 10
section 165 of the same act, which in so
far as it relates to criminal cases COM
prehends the following: For mileage
and attendance of grand jurors; for mile
age and attendance of petit jurors, engag-
ed in the trial of criminal cases in the
district court and for mileage and attend
ance of witnesses, summoned by or on
behalf of the state in criminal cases in
the district court" You will notice that
have read into this statute, the word
criminal and therefore there would
be no liability of the state for mileage
and attendance of petit jurors in civil
cases, this being made a charge against
the county under subdivision 4 of section
165, above referred to. This is the only
law upon the statute books relating to
these questions, that is now operative,
all other laws inconsistent Herewith hav-
ing been repealed by section 169 of the said
act. OF course it is made the duty of the
county attorney to advise you upon these
questions; see subdivision 6 section 113. of
the same bill, found on page 554 of the laws
of 1896. There is no law authorizing or di-
recting this office to give opinions to
county officers, and it has been the usual
custom, from necessity, to decline to do
so, however, l have waived the rule in
this instance, and give the above as my
opinion on this subject. l have the honor
to be, very respectfully yours,

PHILADELPHIA FAILURE.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2ST.-A. G. Ell
lott & Co., manufacturers and dealers in
paper, failed today.
The failure, it is stated on good author
ity, was not caused by any losses in the
firms legitimate business but is due en-
tirely to the great shrinkage in the value
of securities. The firm. 1t is said, has
about 100000 invested in stocks and bonds.
Some of this is in traction investments at
Philadelphia, while a large part. of it is
in New York. The decline in the value
of these securities since the Chicago con-
vention is declared to be $4,000, the drop
in quotations since then having been about
$4,000. The assignment was made simply
as wise precau on to prevent the sac
rifice of investments and possibly serious
loss of money to the firms creditors.

noon tomorrow we have a meeting of
the eastern members of the committee,
and we hope soon to have things NOV

Mr.. Hanna announced during the af-
ternooa that the city headquarters of

Mr.. Hanna had many callers. Among
them was Fred S. Gibbs, the national
committeeman for this state. He ac-
copied the invitation to attend the con-
florence of the executive committee to-
morrow afternoon. Mr.. Hanna was
asked whether Mr. Gibbs came from
Mr.. Plat. He said: II presume that
in one way Mr.. Gibbs represents Mr.
Plat. No, l did not see Mr.. Plat to-
day and have not invited him 10 the
meeting of the committee tomorrow
and / do not expect that he will come
up. But see here,
WHY DRAW PLATT'S NAME
into this thing? 1 am chairman of the

paign."
When Mr. Hanna read of the action
of the Democratic state committee in
maintaining silence over the Chicago
ticket, he said: well if they keep
this thing up we won't have much OPP
position. The action today means that
there will be nothing done in New
York state for Mr.. Bryan until after
September ID, at the very earliest. We
will, therefore, have practically
SIX WEEKS ADVANTAGE

During the evening a delegation from

ton. Mr. Hanna said that he could

delegation could send a representative
to the meeting tomorrow and the Dues
ton would be answered.
Senator Stephen B. ElkinS and Mel
vile E. ingalls,, of the Big Four rail-
