At THE TABERNACLE,
NOT THE SLIGHTEST ALLUsIoN
TO POLITICAL MATTERS.
The Discourses Preached by Elders
Thomas Adams, John Akert and
Assistant Church Historian
Jensen.

No political illusions were made at
the tabernacle services yesterday,
which proved that the fear of some
politicians that church influence would
be used on the eve of battle to change
the complexion of the coming battle
was ungrounded. The sermons were
preached by two recently returned
missionaries and Assistant Church
Historian Andrew Jensen.
Thomas Adams, who arrived in the
city recently from q. mission in Ire
land, first addressed the audience. He
spoke of the necessity of obedience and
its relation to general and individual
salvation. The fall of Adam, he said,
brought death to all men, and it was
necessary for the people TO do good
works to gain tine benefit of the sacri-
flee made at Lebanon.
Men gained all the blessings they re-
ceiyed from obedience. Naaman OBJ
tanned absolution from disease by
bathing seven times in the river as in
struc-ed by the prophet, and the dis
ease did not depart from him until the
obedience was perfect. Christ himself
submitted to be baptized, and one ne
cessity for this ordinance was for men
to prove that they were willing to do
Elder John Akert, who has been do
ing evangelical work in the Swiss and
German mission, spoke briefly, and re-
terred encouragingly to the work in
the European mission.
Elder Andrew Jensen, who followed
said he was glad to be a member of
church so cosmopolitan in its views
as to believe shat the gospel it teaches
should be preached among all nations,

frequently puzzled to understand why
in early days the prophets were all
Jews and the work was all done in
Palestine
In reality, the work was not con-
fined to the Jews. God had raised I'D
an Anglo-SaXon to be his prophet, and
men were commissioned to carry the
message into all lands. God was not
now and had never been a respecter
of persons.
Sceptics were wont to say and with
some force in the argument, that the
stories we now have of the great Pal
estine miracles were the result of the
too vivid imagination of the people
who lived in that day. They looked
upon all the tales of miracles as being
greatly exaggerated. Without divine
hight this would be hard to gainsay.
Z ct Latter-day Saints knew that such
Ill ASleS were performed, Tor they had
seen such things in their own day. Be
lieving in new revelation, the Saints
worked to inform others of the bless
ings they had received. and in reality
they were the only people who could
bear a consistent testimony to the
world.
Mr.. Jensen believed it must have
struck Christian missionaries in Pales-
tine that their revelation-shor system
was inadequate, when preached in the
same land where communication with
God once prevailed. Today the Lat
ter-day Saints have an advantage over
all other teachers of the word of Christ.
for they teach by the power and spirit
of the Holy Ghost, and could be known
by their wonderful works as the serv-
ants of God.

NOTABLE MURDER TRIALS.
Each Time Kansas City Jury Failed
to Agree.

Kansas City, Mo. Oct. S1.-For the
second Sunday in succession the Grim
inal court room of Kansas City was
made the scene of the ending of a SEN
sational murder trial. Today The jury
in the case OF DR.. jefferson j.. Cod
dard for the killing of Frederick j..
jackson. with whose wife it was al
legged Goddard had been intimate. re-
ported for the fifth time that they were
unable to agree upon a verdict and
were discharged.
A week ago. in the same room, at
about the same time, a jury had ac-
quilted John Schlegei for killing Dr..
L. A. Berger. who, it was alleged. had
sustained criminal relations with the
prisoners wife The cases have been
the two most sensational murder trials
that Kansas City courts have had to
deal with for years.
The Goddard case was given to the
jury late Friday night last. after an
exciting trial Five times since then
they sent for Judge Longan and re-
ported that they were unable to Egree
upon a verdict. Judge Longaa was
determined, however. that they should
secure finding. and each time, after
administering a severe lecture, sent
them back TO deliberate.
Today, after having taken nearly 40
ballots they again emphasized their In
ability to agree, and Judge LonSan dis
charged them The last ballot stood
6 to 6.
1t is expected that a new trial will
follow at an early date.

REFORMING PONDTOWN.
NFPHI DEMOCRATS.
Senator Rideout and Mrs. caine
Spoke Saturday Night.


Nephi, Oct. S1.-The political situation
here is unchanged. All the parties are
working for victory-though on the
quiet. The only ones that have had
the hardihood to come out openly in a
rally are the Democrats. Last night a
crowded and enthusiastic audience as
sembled to listen to Jeffersonian princi-
pies from the lips of Mrs. Margaret E.
Caine and Senator RideOut. After
few speeches by local speakers, Sena-
tor Rideout and Mrs. Game entered the
hall, they having just arrived on the
9:15 train. and were greeted with loud
cheering
Senator Rideout, on being introduced,
proceeded to give rafting good speech
In his quiet, telling, though logical style.
He quoted copiously from Twenty
Years in Congress-" by the apostle of
reciprocity, James G. Blaine, showing
the people what forcible arguments
could be CLEANED from that source.
Mrs. Caine delighted her hearers with
! her pleasing style, ana she took e1cep-
tionauy well with the female portion of
the audience, the meeting closing with
great enthusiasm. William J. Slumnlin
was chairman of the meeting.
The Democrats have issued an -ad
dress to the people in which they show
up the falsity of the Republican side.

tricts in the United States, we deem it

rightful place as a money metal, and

Nothing can be CLEANED by perusal
of the registration list as to the voting

is somewhere over 500, and it is esti

and seem confident.

EUREKA CANDIDATES,
A Strong Ticket Put Up by the DEM
ocrats of Tintic.

OcrdCS Oh l1nLlc.
Eureka. Oct. 31.-Eurelza is all ablaze
with political excitement at the present
time. and each of the three parties is
making a hard fight.
The Democrats are highly satisfied
with the ticket they have placed in the
field, and declare it is the best ever
placed before the voters of Eureka, and
so 1t is.
Below is given a brief biography of
each of the candidates on the winning
ticket:
Mr.. Arthur n. Buckbee, candidate for
mayor, has been resident and citizen
of Eureka since November, 1898, hav-
ing been in the employ of the Eureka
Hill Mining company since that time,
first as constructing engineer OF their
large and complete reduction works,
and since as superintendent, which po-
sition he now holds 1t is through his
counsel and good judgment that the
mill, which is dropping 100 stamps
daily, and which is unsurpassed in the
west, was constructed at its present
site. in preference to Homansville, as
was first intended. Mr.. Buckbee has
brought with him an experience gained
by many years of hard labor in the
Black Hills, South Dakota. Arizona and
Montana, and is conceded to be one

execute his duties as mayor with the
same Judgment and ability as he has in
his present position.
OF the five councilmen, Fred Stauffer,
Edgar Wright, William Knight, ]. o.
Freckleton and r. G.. Wilson, 10 special
mention need be made, as they are well
known throughout the state as men of
executive ability and sound judgment.
John j. Pilgrim, nominee for treas
urer is an experienced millwright, hav-
ing held a responsible position under
the Eureka-Hil Mining company since
the erection of their mill. Mr.. PILGRIM
earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow, and is a wor<ingmans friend,
and staunch Democrat. and if elected
will know where the money goes
Mrs Nena Thomas, nominee for re-
corder, is the only woman receiving
recognition by any of the parties. Her
popularity was shown in the recent
convention, when her nomination was
made unanimous as no one was put up
against her. She has been a widow for
several years, and has supported her
family by hard labor, and is fully COM
petent to fulfill the Office for which she
was nominated.
Thomas Fowler, nominee for city
marshal. has had large experience in
the above capacity, both as a civil and
criminal officer. He first began his ca
reer in Lehi City as marshal; since then
he has been sheriff and deputy sheriff
of Utah county, and chief deputy mar
shall Of the First judicial district. Mr..
Fowler's steadfastness to the Demo-
cratic cause was best illustrated by Mr..
King in his address on Friday even

GREAT INVENTION.
Something That Will Surely Consume
Smoke and Save Fuel.


Berlin, Oct 31.-The firm of Kuhut
& Deissler of this city has patented
simple smoke consumer, consisting of
a fire-clay plate to be inserted in the
furnace, which is said to effect a COM
plete consumption of smoke, and to
average a saving of 20 per cent in fuel.
An ordinary fireman is able to replace
it. 1t costs 400 marks. Experts de-
clare that it will revolutionize the sys-
tenn of heating by coal.
1t is reported from Kiel that the
rough test of the invention has been
made at the navy yards there, with
the result that the government has or
dered the application of the smoke con-
Gunner to all the boilers in use in the
navy, and is negotiating with the in
ventors for the sole right to use it on
steamers
Lieutenant N1black, naval attache
of the United States embassy, has sent
a special report to Washington recon-
mending the adoption of the invention
in the United States navy. The naval
attache of the Chinese embassy has
sent a similar recommendation to
Pekin.

NoN-PARTIsAN ADDRESS
Had No Effect on the Situation at
Springville.

Springville. Oct. 31.-Except among
the non-Dartisaa movement here has
altogether failed to hold the attention
1t should, in o. der to make resp cle.blc
fight. Very little interest appears 10 be
taken il the movement, outside of a
certain ring, and the address issued
this week fell fiat. This address con-
tanned many curious features. After re-
lating at length the efforts of the peace
loving Republican minority here to get
the dominant Democrats to declare
of hard-won victories, the address tear
terrified detected the wolf in the lambs
disguise, and stood aloof 1t then goes
on TO state how it failed to split the
Democratic party by endorsing some of
the candidates of that party, and how
said candidates, when put in ludicrous
positions, declined to ornament the non
partisan ticket. 1t charges the bull
doing of Mr. Reynolds by his fellow
Democrats IL order to force him from
the non-Dartisan ticket. and other ri
diculouS moves. AS the subject for
laugh. the address is excellent. and is
evidently deemed unworthy of notice
by Democrats.
The Democratic party stands united,
and viii present an unbroken front on
election day. Little difficulty will be
experienced in electing the entire ticket,
except, possibly. the candidate for mar
shat, 5. e. Clark, whose liberality in
the enforcement of the prohibition or
Ginance will cost him votes among the
temperance people.

Logan Republicans Show Where
They Stand.

Logan, Oct. a1.-Logan Republicans
have gone back on prohibition, which
the following notice, issued in this
mornings special issue of the Semi
Weekly Nation, will show. 1t is signed
by the nominees on the Republican
ticket:
ITO the Voters of Logan City: AS
many Misrepresentation have been
made concerning the Republican party
and its nominees in reference to the
liquor question, and as a considerable
number OF voters seem to be in doubt
as to whether the Republican pledges
would be kept if the Republican ticket
should be elected, we deem it proper to
say to you candidly before your votes
are cast that if we are elected, we will
do all il our power to carry out the
Republican platform in general, and the
plank on the LIQUOR question in partic-
ular, and that as nominees of the Re
publican party we cannot recognize the
action or decision of a nor-partisan
meeting in conflict with the platform of
our party"

LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous HumorS- How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofuls on his face, hands and arms. 1t

on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
