hopes We're somewhat disappointed. In
their platform they congratuIated
themselves on the speedy return of
prosperity, heartily endorsed the eff
lorts OF the present administration to
secure an International monetary con-
ference, declared that they were op-
posed to bonding the city. and that Ia
DOT should be employed regardless OF
political utilization. The last two planks
were the same in meaning as contained
IN the Democratic platform.
An effort was made to include an
amendment which, in substance, was
as follows: We claim to be as true
ana loyal to silver as Democrats. and
we denounce the favor shown silver
py the Democrats as q political trick

This was defeated.

TIGHTENING AND HAIL.
Washington County Visited By Some
Phenomenal Storms.

st. George, Utah, Oct. 1O.-Washing-
ton county has been visited by heavy
rain and thunder storms. The ter
rife thunder and lightning was some
thing unusual in the extreme for this
time of the year
In the town of Santa Clara the light

standing in front of Mr.. NJ A. Leav-
tits residence, stripping the bark off
them, anil q harness hanging m ems 0f
the trees had tho hooks cut from the
tugs by the lightning,
At Washington the house of Willard
Larson was struck. The lightning pass
ed down the outer wall, burned a hole
clean through barrel standing by The
house. and dug a hole in the ground.
The torrents of rain filled every lit

making it impossible for a time
The most remarkable incident con-
nected with the storm is the piling up
of a great bank OF hail stones at a
place known as Atkinville, five miles
( below st. George. They were carried
down a wash from the mountainous
country of northern Arizona, bordering
Utah, and emptied into the Rio Virgen
at the point named above, an immense
quantity passing down the river. The
hailstones measured a half an inch in
diamater. They must have been much
larger before they we're subjected to

A HEADLFss TICKET.
Non-Partisans Secured a Candidate
Through False Pretenses.

Springville, Oct 14.-This morning
came the announcement that the non
partisan candidate for mayor, II. T.
Reynolds. had withdrawn from the
ticket His letter making this declara-
ton was placed in the hands of Chair
man Manwaring of the Citizens COM
mittee and was at once made public.
1t created a sensation at once, and
caused dismay among the parts
ans, as it was thought that Reynolds
would forsake the Democratic ticket,
he being candidate for mayor on that
ticket In his letter Mr.. Reynolds
states that he had positively refused to
allow his name to be presented at the
primary last night but was nominated
against his will. When the Citizens
committee gave. him to understand that
the meeting was largely Democratic, he
accepted the nomination rendered, dis
covering later that he had been the
victim of Misrepresentation, as the
meeting was almost entirely Republic
an. In letter to Chairman Roylance
of the Democratic central committee,
he stated that if his action last night
had lost him the confidence of his party
he would withdraw from that ticket
also, but would support the ticket.
This is but one of the many peculiar
moves of Springville nOn-partisan pro-
meters. Democratic nominees do not
relish the non-partisan endorsement,
but no further protests are at hand at
present

STATES AT RICHFIELD.
Many Disguised Republicans Will
Vote the Democratic Ticket.

Richfeld, Oct. 14.-Last night the Re
publicans held their city convention at
the Academy hall 1t was a battle of
states from first till last. The night
before a number of the old settlers,
principally Scandinavians. met at the
home Of MAIDS Christensen and pre-
pared a slate. 1t was an open, daylight
affair. and the ticket was freely circu-
lated on the streets. Toward evening
there was q small hand bin circulated
on the streets, containing the slate pre-
Yiou5ly prepared and one prepared by
a number of Republicans on the street.
The convention was a jam, and the
feeling was warm. Chairman Meter
talked Of returning prosperity and
made quite Mckinley speech. but it
brought faint applause. Simon Chris
Jensen was then chosen as chairman
Of the meeting, and J. NJ. LauritZen as
secretary.
The precinct committee was reor-
ganized, with J. ". Coons, chair
man; James NJ. Bolitho. vice chairman;
Carl Goldbrausar, secretary; Mrs. Y.

Morten Jensen and A. P. Rasmussen.
Taken all in all, the Republicans are
not IN good lighting trim. Many OF
them viii vote with the Democrats. In
the convention last night side threats
were heard everywhere and the Repub-
licans cannot be held together.

purposes in the Santa Clara field, 10
miles to the southwest.
It is estimated that this stream.
during the time of low water, which
occurs in August. will furnish $50

year its value is considerably larger.
From this service the citizens of St
