Of stuff doesn't go when it comes to
getting places under an administra-
ton.
The correspondent who signs himself
Anxious Inquirer who wants TO
know if Wesley X. Walton has resigned
as a member OF the state board of land
of receiver of the land Office, is re-
spectfully informed that Wesley is not
that kind of a hair pin. He will let
so of nothing until he has at least one
hand on the new object of his desires.
This question should not be propounded
again, as a close watch on the daily
newspapers will save writing materials

Politics locally doesn't seem to liven
up very much-on the surface-al-
though there have been several meet
ings held of late in the interest of q
citizens ticket, as stated would he the
case some time ago. This time the
gentlemen who have. been doing this
caucussing in advance do not divulge
their names 70 the public. but The Her
aid was informed yesterday that c. j.
Allen had been considered as an avail
able man for mayor on a non-partisaI
ticket, while the name of Fisher Harris
John Q. Cannon and Perry Nebekei
had also been mentioned. 1t has been
deemed DcSt Dy the promoters OF tiS
scheme to give the Democrats a fight
ing chance for the candidate, inasmuch
as they are believed to be strong
enough to do something this fall in
the way of capturing the city. Harris
and Cannon are Democrats, while
Nebeker and Allen are silver Repub-
licans. The names of several of the
councilmen were discussed, but it was
agreed that none were available in
this case. The Herald is informed
that a meeting will be held again this
week, at the Knutsford, at which the
matter will be again discussed. Ac-
cording to statements made it appears
that all are agreed that no one save a
silver man would be acceptable and
that so far as possible he must be free
from ENHANCEMENT with the Municipal
League or its>opponents.

It is stated that some of the members
of the old Oquirrh club are seriously
thinking of recognizing the same and
putting it on an active basis. This is
very commendable idea, but it must
be remembered that Harry McCallum

fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Ssrsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. It will make your

Her Gift to Science.

Before her death, which occurred in New York city ill 1878, Mrs M K. Benchlcy, the widow of former li,,p- tenant governor of Massachusetts, wilied her body to the Woinan's Medical col lege. According to the prov isions of tEas queer will the body of Mrs Benchley was to be carefully dissected and her skeleton hung in the college museum. As far as NC have been able to learn. this is the only instance on record where an educated woman has deliberately sent her body to the dissecting room and her bopes to the showrooms of . museum. We can cite several instances where the progressive class of women thinkers have given erders that their bodies should be creEaated, but this Is the only instance OH record where a tall ented womaa has ma6ls such gift to science.
