POLITICS AT HEBER.
Satisfactory Results of Partisan Rule
In Wasatch County.

Heber, Oct. 9.-The discourse deliy-
cred by President Woodruff on political
matters at the recent conference, caus-
ed very little comment on the streets
of Heber yesterday. An ex-Liberal.
who is now representing a San Fran
cisco firm, yesterday told one of our
merchants that he had fought the Nor
mons when the latter held the Offices
and controlled the city government. At
that time he was paying 10 mills on the
dollar, today he said he was paying 27
mills on the dollar. and he now is of
the opinion that a mistake was made
in ousting economical men for men of
extravaganza.
There is very little, or any. political
enthusiasm in Heber this fall. at the
time of the political discussion Wa
satch county was one of the first coun-
ties TO fall into line, and has continued
on party lines with very fattering sue
cess. Today there is not cent of in

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-Today was rec
ord breaking day at the Willow Grove
bicycle track in the trials made by
Jimmy Michael the Welsh wheelman,
for all records from one mile to one
hour against time. paced. From IL
miles until he crossed the line at 81
miles, his time MAS faster than any
other worlds records for the same dis
tances, and from the Goth mile until
he crossed the tape in the 92nd mile,
he excelled the American competition
records held by himself.
II was announced by the track otft-
Gals that michael viii try to beat
Stocks record for one hour of 81 miles,
AS yards This he did, making 50
miles. $50 yards IN the 60 minutes, hut
another record Of 80 miles, loss yards,
made by Stocks, still stands.
Michael was in the best Of form and
demonstrated as ever his ability to
hold the strongest kind of a pace In
all there were So paeemakers to urge
the little fellow along. After the first
mile he gradually rode close to the
worlds record. In the 18th mile he
began TO break records. This he kept
until the 18th, when he began over
hauling his own records in the Amer
ican competition class, and when he
passed the timers at the end of the
Goth mile he was ahead of his own
time in the competition class and away
ahead of Stocks record against time.
The little Welshman kept at it and
crossed the tape at the 32nd mile in
1920. making that mile in 1857 l-5. He
then rode like mad to top Stocks an
nounced time, and when the pistol
cracked at the GO minutes he had rid

ord he was trying for by 204 yards.
After resting awhile Michael made an

EFFECT AT BRIGHAM.
The Woodruff Address Has Weaken
ed the n-Partisans.

Brigham City. Oct. 9.-The counte-
nances of the persons whose names
appear on the Republican ticket have
been darkened and frightened this
week, as the varying reports of what
President Woodruff said and what he
meant have appeared in the papers.
Upon the first report they remarked.
We may as we'll quit; we are beaten, "
etc.
Since the venerable president has
modified his remarks and stated he
didn't mean it, they feel some better
and are by no means in favor OF giving
up the contest for honors at the hands
of the citizens. Some who were in
favor of the non-partisan ticket are
now, turned from it by the evident de-
sire Of the church authorities to force
it upon the people, as expressed in
the much talked of conference address.
BY its direct and straightforward
course in. the matter The Herald has
won many friends.

McKinley's Cabinet Impatient at De-
Law of Cuban Reforms.

Mch1nley's CABINET impatient at De-
lay of Cuban Reforms
New York, Oct. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
President Mckinley and the cabinet
thoroughly discussed the Cuban ques-
ton in ali its phases and it is the con-
sensu5 of opinion that the Sagasta
ministry should inaugurate reforms in
Cuba, without waiting for action by
the new cortes, which will not assemble
before March. Otherwise the admin
istration will be forced to act.
The ACCESSIBILITY of providing protec-
ton for the American consulate in
Havana and the necessity of obtaining
from Senior Sagasta action in Cuba.
were the principal themes Of discus
sion, but other than the conclusion that
something should be done without de-
lay by Sagasta, there was no impor-
tant development. The authorities are
of the opinion that Spain is simply
following out her usual policy of delay.
They look with suspicion even upon
the changes Of ministry which have
occurred. but have been somewhat re-
assured by the announcement made by
Senior Sagasta that he Will answer
Minister Woodfords representations
rendering the good Offices of the United
States in ample time for the incorpora-
ton of his reply in the presidents
message as required by the minister.
