NAMED SMOKY ORDINARY" ["

Smoky Ordinary" pretty little Vir- ginia village, owes it's name to an in- cidentof the revolutionary war; In the early days of this country inns and ho- tels were known as ordinaries. There was a good-sized country inn at the place where Smoky Ordinary now is esta ablished. s
 Near this hotel were two storehouses, in which were kept enormous stores of tobacco. While Cornwallis, the English lord and general. was marching with his army through the Virginias. he came upon this tavern and the tobacco houses The main army under Cornwallis passed the place unnoticed, but the foragin Q corps under Tarleton, immediately fol- lowed. Tarleton set fire to the two warehouses and left them to burn down. The tavern was not fired. The store houses were filled with the partially dried tobacco, which burned very slowly.
 For days it smoked, and the smoth cred fire soon consumed the store of tobacco. The smoke from the burnin 2 houses enveloped the tavern with a thick mantel of smoke, which hung around for quite awhile. The residents of the community named the place the smoky ordinary. A post office was late established at the tavern, and the name of Smoky Ordinary was given it.
 The old tavern still stands there just as it did in the days when Lord Corn wallis marched by it with his soldiers from England. and the room where Tarleton's horse foragers took refresh ments is still there. The place was somewhat remodeled by Gov. Atkin- sons father, who converted it into a residence and schoolhouse. He taught school there for several years.-Kansas City Journal

INDIGNATION MEETING.
Coloradoans Denouncet he Signe1s sof a
 Peace Petition.


 Colorado Springs, Colo, April A. The indignation meeting held tonight to denounce the action of about fifty signers to a peace petition to Presi- dent Mckinley, the tenor of which was a request that the president re- frain from engaging in hostilities with Spain, was a grand success, being at tended by about 1,500 enthusiastic cfti- zens. The meeting was held in the court house, and an overflow was he'd in division of the building. Judge Severy was made chairman Of the meeting, and w. K. Sinton secretary. Speeches were made by Gen. Danford, Dr. Hazelhurst and Major McAllister, and remarks were made by dozen others.
 Gen. Danford, in his recital of the bloody history of Spain, stirred up an element akin to jingoes, though the meeting was to be void of that sort oi i thing.
 ] Resolutions were adopted ap- proving the course of the president and his cabinet in the crisis with which they have to deal. There was 8 sort of disposition too, in the meeting to urge the administration to more speedily act in the matter of adjusting affairs with Spain. Yet the resolutions adopted contained nothing of this na- ture Patriotism and Americanisn were the watchwords of the meeting and enthusiasm was of the war-likt type. A copy of the resolutions adopt ed was forwarded to the president.

SPANS FIRST CONCESSION.
Those Not Too Weak From Lack Of Provisions" May Return Home.

Havana, April B. Captain-General Blanco has issued an important decree, dated April and published yester- day morning, in which he directs the end of the recommendation in the four western provinces, Pinar del Rio, Ha- yana, Matanzas and Santa Clara.
 The preamble sets forth that the pacification of the provinces has been considerably advanced by the com bined action of arms and the natural effect of the establishment of auton- omy, giving security to the country and making possible the advancement of the sugar, tobacco and food crops. It further says the time has come to resume the normal conditions in the towns and villages, 70 do away with the causes of suffering among the peo- pie, to remove so far as possible all the effects of the recommendation and to give complete liberty to all the coun- try people to return to such places as they desire and to do such labor as they may select.
 For the reconcentrados who, being without resources or instruments with which to labor, remain in the towns or centers previously set apart for their use, the colonial government with great urgency proposes to the governor a plan of relief In this plan the mayors and alcaldes are expected to take part, establishing soup kitch- ems, etc.
 Then follow five articles, carrying out what is set forth in the preamble.
 Article After the publication of this order the reconcentrados and their families will be allowed to re- turn home in the four provinces given above.
 Article 2-Orders all relief commit tees and civil and military authorities to facilitate the workings of the decree and also to aid the reconcentrados in selecting and securing new houses.
 Article 3-Directs the colonial gov ernment, through it's secretary and ministerial officers, to prepare to exc cute all necessary orders to secure for the country people work on public improvements and also to give food. by economical kitchens, to all the suffering, attention being called to those on the small country estates
 Article All the expenses over and above the funds now in the hands of the committee are to be provided for under the head of an extraordira ary war credit.
 Article 5.-All former orders of re- concentration are abrogated.
 Washington, April 5.-The Spanish legation has received full reports from Captain-General Blanco, from the gov ernors of all the provinces of Cuba and from the alcaldes and chiefs of po- lice of the principal cities, as to the condition of the recommendations. It is an elaborate treatment of this subject by the officers directly in charge and gives the situation fully from their standpoint. It is noteworthy that they do not seek to minimize the dreadful condition of these people, but endeavor to show that they are doing their ut most to alleviate the misery and mis- fortune which exists.

CAT OF THE COMMONWEALTH

No cats are brought into the state house, but they come of their own sweet will, and stay great deal longer than their presence is desired. When the guide gathers his tourists about him in the house lobby and lifts his umbrella to point to the honored names in the skylight above. the visitors are sure to see the form of a eat stretched at full length on the glass. The cat is not dead, however, as the whole force ot the ergeant-at-arms can testify. but is simply taking a snooze in the genial sun light. She came in through the Bulfirc. front and sought the roof. She feed on mice, and nobody can get within 100 feet of her. If she is surrounded ai the Derne street end she soon makes ! break through the line of her pursuers and adjourns to the vicinity of the gilded dome. At present she spends most of her time over the skylight ir the state library.-Boston Transcript

A FEW PLAIN FACTS.

President Mckinley is "the direct
enemy Of the silver cause" He is ''as
much welded TO the gold standard as
Mr.. Cleveland is"
The Republican orhan will not at
tempt denial of this statement.
The Democrats of Utah, as "a party,
have renowned Cleveland.
The Republicans Of Utah, as party,
have endorsed Mckinley.
Every member of the Democratic
State and county organizations in Utah
is loyal to Bryan and silver.
Every member Of The Republican
State and county organizations in Utah
endorses and applauds" the policies
of President Mckinley.
The Democratic candidate for Con-
gress voted for Bryan.
The Republican candidate for Con-
gress voted for Mckinley.
Tne Populist candidate for Congress
says that Bryan is ''as ignorant as a
pig"
These are facts for voters TO ponder
over. Salt Lake Herald. Sunday.

WHERE ELoREDeE STANDS.

There is no longer any question as
TO where Alma Edredge. Republican
candidate for Congress, stands on the
financial question. In his speech in
Provo last Saturday night, he stated
that he voted for Mckinley and was
proud Of 1t. He read the gold standard
financial plank Of the 81 Louis plat
form aud said IL was just right. He
said he stood on the platform and if
elected would continue 20 stand there
until pulled of, Alma Eldredge by
his own statement in Provo is a gold.

efforts Of the Salt Lake Tribune to
silyer'pate him. DO the people Of Utah
want such a Congressman Well, we

ANOTHER FAKE.

John Wedderburn, who is well known
at least by reputation, to the news
paper men OF the West and TO a large
number Of inventors, again appears at
the front with a new publication,
which he calls the Patent Record.
Wedderburn is a hard proposition 10
tackle. We know Of number of in
yentors he has Swindled, and a num-
Der of newspapers who haye heen
"bitten" on bis newspaper contracts.
Better fight shy OF him He is no

WHEAT AND SILVER.

When wheat was up n few short
months ogo the Republican papers
were full OF that fact credited to the
Mckinley administration. Now, that
wheat Is down to nothing they are
calling attention to the Increased yield
this year and say that accounts for the
present extraordinarily low price The
Republicans are beginning to recognize
the iLexorabe Law of supply and de-
mnnd. Now, If they recognize The fact
that the volume of money regulates
this supply and demand, they will be
all right on the proposition. With the
decentralization of silver. one-half of
The money of the world. wheat fell &C
oordiug to the fall of silver money, and
the whole thing is that wheat and all
other products will follow silver. The
contention OF Oimetalists with respect
to tins matter is amply proven by a
comparison of prices any time when
not disturbed by speculation.

 public servant of the United States, doing
 his duty as well and periodically as he
 can, without regard for his personal po- htical future. So, it is only fair to believe,
 the president of the United States is ac. tuated by high and impersonal motives in the present crisis.

It is significant that Senator Proctor was assisted in his inquiries in Cuba by no less than three American democrats of impor- tant official rank. It would be unfortunate if all our representatives in the island at this time were members of the same politi- cal party as the president.
