CONDITIONS IN EMERY.
Republican Candidate For Legisla-
ture Withdraws. :.
Especial to The Herald.)

Price, Oct. 16.-The stories of discon-
tentin Emery county are for the great
er part purely imaginary. The facts
are that there is perfect harmony
within the ranks of the Democrats, as
will be demonstrated on election day,
when the party viii register its usual
majority above all opposition of from
400 to 500 votes. Hon. William Howard,
a representative citizen and Democrat
of Emery county, was here yesterday,
and in talking with your correspondent,
gave it as his opinion that the opposi-
ton there this year amounts practi-
cally to nothing. The Republicans, in
convention, made overtures to the DEM
ocratS to give them part of the coun-
.ty ticket and they would place no NOM
nations in the field. This was 'declin-
ed with thanks" and the next move
was to put a third ticket in the field,
which so far has proved unsuccessful.
The Republicans are all torn up on the
financial question and those who hold
for silver Will come over TO the Demo-
Gratis. The Republican candidate for
representative, Bishop Brinkerhoff, has
declined to run, and at the eleventh
hour, H. S. Lovelace, jr., was substi-
tuted. George NJ. Miller, county chair
man, became dissatisfied with the silver
sentiment in the party and threw up
his position. 1t may be that citizens
ticket viii be put in the field, but if it
is it will be run as a Mckinley Hanna
side-show, and, no matter what induce
ments are thrown out, no considerable
number of voters can be pulled away
from the Democrats.

Uintah Indian reservation the other

OUTWITS A SHARPER.
A Travelling Man Beats Him In a
Poker Game.

Opie Read, in Chicago Inter-Ocean:
Not long ago I was a passenger on a
cross-country railway train that wound
its romantic way among the lakes of
Wisconsin. The day was so soft, the
scenery so picture-like, that it was
hard to conceive that in this blithe
world there was such a thing as the
wicked scheming of man. But there
was D. E. Kerr of the Illinois College
of Osteopathy of Chicago, and I, were
sitting together, talking about fishing,
when along came an oldish, Intelligent
looking chap and grabbed hold of Kerr.
They shook hands warmly. having
in years gone by done the road for the

duced to Mr.. Winter, and found him

shrewdness of the day, man of the
hustling world. But it is said that a
sucker is born every minute. While we
were talking, along came three men.
They wanted to get up a harmless game
of cards. L didn't care to play. Mel
Their did Kerr; but Winter said that he
didn't mind taking hand. To me the
men looked like sharpers, and so they
must have looked to Kerr, for he said
to his friend:

Many Tried to Kiss Mckinley, But

Rain Spoiled the Day.

Chicago, Oct 17.-This afternoon Presi-
dent Mckinley, with college and other
dignitaries, marched through rain, tnud
and slush to Kent theatre, University of
Chicago. where, with all due ceremony,
the president was invested in cap and
gown and had conferred upon him the
honorary degree OF doctor OF laws.
After the ceremonies in Kent hall, the
president was escorted through Washing
ton park and up to the armory. Nearly
the whole distance the streets were lined
with people. who stood in the cold. driz-
zling rain, and cheered as the president
closed carriage passed by. At the armory
detachmentS of the Illinois naval reserve,
the First Illinois infantry and the Fourth
regular infantry from Fort Sheridan were
lined up with the policemen to assist in
preserving order. Thousands had gather
ed there to greet the president.
II was after i o'clock when the Dresi-
dent and Secretaries Gage and Bliss en-
tered the armory with the local reception
committee and took their places upon the
platform. A tremendous shout went up
from the great crowd in the building when
the president appeared.
After Colonel Turner and John NJ. Har-
Ian had greeted the president on behalf
of the reception committee, the hand
shaking started. For an hour and ten
minutes President Mckinley shook hands
with the thousands who streamed by
him. For each one he had a smile and a
word of greeting. During the handshak-
ing a number of young women, and one
or two not so young. tried to kiss the
president, but, although there were sew
eral escapes. none of the ambitious ones
succeeded. number of men and women
kissed the presidents hand. however.
When the public reception had closed
the president and his party entered their
carriages and were driven to the Auditor
ium hotel, where they sat down to a din
ner given in their honor by the Jubilee
reception committee.
Later the president met a committee of
Chicago men and promised them he would
address the railway mems mass meeting
at the First regiment armory on Thurs
day afternoon. Then the president left
for the McWilliams residence in Lake
avenue. He was somewhat fatigued and
retired soon after reaching the house.

RENEWAL OF RATE WAR
BETWEEN AMERICAN AND CAN
ADAM ROADS IMMINENT.
Against the Canadian
Pacific Made By Great Northern
Railway Notes and Personals.

Chicago, Oct. IA renewal of the
trans-continental rate war which ragged
so fiercely between the Amerisan roads
and the Canadian Pacific a year, and
which. it was hoped. had finally been
settled by the interference of the inter-
state commerce commission, seems TO
be imminent.
Renewed accusations against the Ca
madam Pacific were made today in q
circular letter issued by General Pas
senger Agent Whitney of the Great
Northern railroad. The letter states
that the Canadian Pacific has not kept
faith with the American roads, in so
far as restoration of the eastbound
passenger rates is concerned, and it is
intimated that the Great Northern is
preparing to adopt retaliatory meas
ures. This, it is believed. means that
the Great Northern will put into effect
the old war basis of rates, unless the
Canadian Pacifis acts in good faith.

New York Oct. ia dispatch to the

the soldier boys beyond the Pacific who
wish to forward boxes of good things
are already in correspondence with the

The rigid rule has been laid down that
Christmas boxes for the soldiers at
Manila must not contain quantities of
sweet things calculated to disturb the
digestion of men living in the tropics
Mince meat, fruit cake and candy will
be permitted only in small parcels, and
it is advisable that packages be linn
