Russia is in the throes of financial
crisis of well nigh inconceivable magpl-
tude, says the New York Tribune. Some
years ago the late car founded a land
bank for the nobility, for the purpose of
coming to the rescue of those Russian
landowners who, owing to the abolition
of serfdom, were on the point of financial
collapse. The bank was empowered to
advance 60 per cent. of the estimated
value of the estates on mortgage. The
idea was that the Russian noble would
devote the money to the Improvement of
his property. Instead of this, he squan-
dered it and spent no portion thereof in
agricultural Improvement, and the result
is that to-day the bank. having advanced
over $1,000 900, 600, finds itself with millions
OF acres on its hands which 1t can neither
cultivate nor sell at even 60 per cent. of
the estimated value. Either the bank will
fail--in which case the entire financial
credit of Russia will be shaken to its foun-
dations-or else the state will have to
come to it's aid with a large amount The
whole affair constitutes an illustration Of
the futility of trying to bolster up the
finances of an aristocracy that has out
lived the sense of its responsibility.

is a face photographed. These are all
fads in photography, but the cane is the
principal one.
One of these canes, owned by young
man whose love for a talisman amounts
to a superstition, is provided with a
sliding door of silver. The door, when
closed, covers the miniature. 1t slides
over it like the sliding cover of a box.
Upon the door is the young mans mono
gram.
Once seated, in street car or public
place, where there is a long, dreary wait,
the little door can be slid back and the
fair face smiles out from its hiding place.
With the miniature pressed to his lips
the young man can draw inspiration from
his talsman. This is a delightful phase
of the talsmanic cane. Now, knowing
this about the walking-stick - that one
article of mans outdoor outfit of which
he never seems to tire-women can make
all allowances for the fondness with
which he treats his cane.
very interesting point about the tai
ismanic cane is that IL is being taken up
by societies instead of the watch-charm
or the club ring. The Masonic emblem
may at some time be a cane, enthusiasts
claim, and the city clubs will adopt them
universally, as being to the liking of every
one, which a ring is not nor a charm.

Editor Brunell Dead.

Richfield Advocate: Monday evening
Geographic advices from Marysvale ap-
prised the RichfeId lodge of Odd Eel
lows that j. Z. Brunell. one of their
members, had passed away that after
noon at ! o'clock. For the fortnight
previous he had been very low with
typhoid fever. and although under the
best of care, was unable longer to bear
up under the dread disease.
Eighteen months ago Brother Brunell
founded at Marysvale. and ever since
has edited, the Piute Pioneer, the only
paper ever published in Piute county.
He was a whole-souled, generous
hearted, liberal-minded young man.
AS az other mortals. he made mis-
takes, but they were errors of judg-
ment, not of the heart. His life at the
little mining camp was none too happy.
Launching the first journal in that
community, he met with many reverses
and some opposition. and his nature
was OF that sensitive sort that is
wounded deeply by the antagonism of
enemies. Poor fellow, he hardly kept
his head financially above water
through his journalistic career. and
seemed to gather no solace from the
fact that a large share of the other
newspaper boys could SynpathiZe with
him in this affliction. But, happy fell
low, he has gone to the rest, well earned
by the long suffering in his noble call
ing chosen, there to mingle with such
other spirits, as Greeley, Dana and
George.

battle IS over in Provo and the smoke
cleared away, there are some trifiing
corrections to make, and also some OBJ
servations uDon the result.
1t is no more than proper to state
that in reporting the parlor meeting
held at the knights residence a Slight
inaccuracy resulted from your CORE
spondent taking reports from different
persons, who claimed to know what
took place there. There was no desire
whatever to injure or misrepresent
either oe the members of the firm of
Booth & Booth. It was learned and
stated that the senior member was not
there. The other admits having made
a speech, but denies having attacked
Mr.. Barney-the same time admitting
that remarks were made at that meet
ing against him, as in comparison with
Mr. Farrer. If Mr.. Booth has been in
any way misrepresented, there is no
disposition to keep back a correction

greatly disappointed over the result of

GOVERNOR PRINCES VISIT.
He Is Looking Up the Telephone
Business Here.

Ex-Territorial Governor L. 3. Prince
OF New Mexico has been in town for
several days looking over the local field
with reference to introducing some rad
zeal changes in the present system of
telephones. If the report of Governor
Prince is favorable a corporation will
be organized in the near future to rep
resent the Automatic Telephone Ex-
change Co. Gimited), of Washington
and London.
According to Governor Prince. this
London company has bought up and
consolidated all of the automatic pat
ents in the telephone line held by the
Stronger Automatic Telephone Co. Of
Chicago, which has been operating in
the west to some extent and those of
the Drawbough Telephone & Electric
Appliance Co.. which was the owner of
important long distance patents, be-
sides a large number of appliances of
more or less value.
The advantages claimed for the new
idea are these: First, the facilitation
of connections between instruments of
subscribers, the connection being made
by the subscriber himself Second, the
reduction of expenses, by saving the
labor of the hello girl" and in other
ways.

NEPEI DEMOCRATS
Expect to Make a Clean Sweep Next
Year

Nephi, Nov. 2-The result of the cleo
ton in this city seems to be satisfac-
tory to both Democrats and Republic
ans more especially the G. o. p. adj
herents. The members of the Demo-
cratic party, however, realized that it
was hopeless for them to expect any of
the Offices in the fight just finished, and
console themselves with the fact that
at least the "cold water" ticket is
buried-and forever. The managers of
the Democracy express great hopes as
to the outcome of the election to be
held next fall. Chairman Shimmin
gives out the claim that their defeat
was brought about by renegades in
their ranks, and that it is a criterion
that the. election next fall will be a
clean sweep for the Democratic party.
The following are those elected:
Mayor-E. r. Booth (Rep), 24S; ma
jority of 63.
Recorder-Mrs Kate L. Paxman
(Rep) majority of SO.
Treasurer-Mrs. Annie Pay Rep),
majority Of so.
Marshal-Marl1 Bigler (Non-Partis-
| am, majority of 90.
Justice of the Peace-William Stout

in reality. A peculiar condition existed
here. The two tickets that were in
the field were so mixed as to the po-
litical complexion of the candidates,
that though the entire Republican
ticket was elected, there were seven
Democrats among the winners.
Some errors were made in transmit
ting the returns last night. The ticket
elected is as follows:
Mayor-John Walsh Dem.).
Recorder-Nephi Palmer (Dem.)
Treasurer Mary Leonard (Dem.).
Justice-W. w. Richards (Rep.).
Councilmen-L. E. Abbott (Dem.), NJ
G. Udy Dem.), J. D. Wood J. H. Rob
inson (Rep.), Joseph S. Clark (Rep.).
Thus the sweeping Republican vic
tory will be seen to have been in re-
atty a Democratic success. Farming
ton is all right, and when it is neces-
sary to bring out her Democratic forces
again this city will be found in the
right column

Some Serious Charges Filed Against

lFrom The Herald's Correspondents.l
Provo. Nov. 3.-For the past few
days rumors have been banded around
that some charges of a very serious
nature had been made TO the board Of
directors of the insane asylum by Mr..
Jagers, who has been an employee of
that institution for some time These
were made against the medical super
lntendent, as was learned from Mr.
De Moisey, the secretary, who stated
that the board had been listening to
the proofs brought forward by Mr..
Jagers for several days. but had not
YET come to the conclusion that they
Were sustained
Mr. Jagers filed three charges, ac-
cofdlne to the secretary's report. The
first WAS that he (Jagers) was dis
charged without any apparent cause.
Second, that there had been a willful
neglect on the part OF the superintend
enr TO take proper care of the patients.
incidents were related to show that
certain patients had received bodily
injuries and that these injuries were
not attended to-
1T was alleged that some had ac-
tually been allowed to starve to death
Inc third charge was that DR.. Hardy
mad on different occasions been found
IN a drunken condition 1t is stated
thot bdIe NOcloF 3Q3llNtled, IN TINS con-
nectlon, that last New Years he al
lowed some wine to be brought to the
asylum and at that time he might have
gotten too much, but denied that he
was in the habit Of using intoxicants
Several witnesses have been ex-
amined by the board and some afffda-
Wits read and considered, but the mat
ter stdll remains in statu quo pending
further investigation.
Mi. Jagers was seen today. but was
reticent in his statements in support
OF the charges made. He did say, how
ever, that there had been a grievous
neglect shown towards the patients,
out was averse TO giving the evidence
10 the public until there was a final
decision rendered by the board of di-
rectors. Mr.. Jagers denies that there
is any spite work connected with the
charges. He states that he can
bring proof to the directors that he has
attended to duty, and he expects to
be reinstated.
Rumors are afioat that there are
cases of more sensational nature still
embodied in the charges, but as they
have not yet been thoroughly investi-
gated, these viii not be given pub
hciry. 1t is the understanding that the
proofs pro and con viii be given to the
public when they have completed their
investigations.

didate receiving a less number. Mayor
elect Hall received the largest major
ity.
The few Democrats who took their
cue from Salt Lake and endorsed the
non-partisan farce here were more than
offset by the Independent voters and
Republicans, who would not swallow
the pill, and rallied to the Democratic
standard. The exertions of William M.
Roylance, chairman of the Democratic
committee, had much to do with pre-
venting defections. To Mr.. Roylance's
example and advice in dealing with the
non partisan movement the Democratic
party here are indebted for their firm,
bold front and consequent victory.
