In Case of Peterson VS.. Salt Lake
City.
QUESTION OF INTEREST
SUIT ON A BATCH OF COUNTY
WARRANTS.
Judgment Affirmed By the Supreme
Court In Case of Reese VS.. Morgan
Silver Mining Company = P. T.
Farnsworth's Answer to the Ne
vada Company's Complaint.

H. II. Peterson and Joe Cottle OF
City Creek canyon won't get into the
city's cash box just yet and collect that
judgment of $2,619.S7 which was entered
in Judge Cherry's col n some days ago,
because his honor set aside the judg-
ment yesterday, and the gentlemen
will now have to show their right to
the mohey.
1t was a cool morning in Judge
Cherry's court room, but Judge Mckay
soon warmed I'D the atmosphere. He
wasn't a bit pleased with the courts
order citing his client to show cause
why the judgment should not be set
aside, and he came prepared to do a
battle royal and he did. Between chas-
ing the annoying frog in his throat"
and constructing legal arguments,
reading affidavits. etc, he commanded
the attention of the court and the city
attorney for an hour and half.
Judge Mckay came prepared with
an affidavit setting forth his version of
the alleged agreement with City At
torney Hall. The latter filed an affidavit
some days ago upon which he based
his motion to set aside the judgment,
contendjng that Judge Mckay had
agreed not to take advantage of the
expiration of the time for filing an an
swer as a basis for a Judgment by de-
fault The court, of course, didn't know
anything about such an understanding,
and so. when the time had expired,
Judge, Mckay appeared and secured
judgment by default.
In his affidavit presented yesterday
Judge Mckay denies having had any
understanding with the city attorney,
and he therefore insisted that the judg-
ment should stand. But his honor did
rot take that view of the matter, and
it was set aside. The case will now be
tried upon its merits

Political Notes.

Notices of registration were posted
in the city and county yesterday. Prior
to the. time of registration the same
will be printed in The Herald.
All the district chairmen of the Sec
ond ward are requested to be present
at the meeting which will be held at
headquarters tomorrow evening at T:30.
1t is suggested that Hon. B. H. Rob-
erts speak in this city next Thursday
evening. If arrangements are made,
the announcement will appear in The
Herald.
The Workingmen's Democratic club
will have an opening of their new
rooms at S06 South State street very
soon. Congressman King and others
are expected to speak.
The women of the Second ward are
going to have meeting very soon, at
which the candidates will all be pres
ent. Miss Phoebe Fletcher is the NOV
ing spirit at this time, and many other
ladies viii assist her. 1t will be a
woman's meeting, and grand time is
expected. Notice of the same will be
given later.
F. NJ. Lyman, jr., who is running
against Charlie Wilkes for the office of
surveyor. is making what he terms "a
thorough canvass" and declares he is
going to be elected. Lyman, like the
chairman of the state committee Of his
party, is optimistic He will discover
when the votes are counted he has not
been in it to any great extent.
That eminent genius, Warren Foster,
PoDulist candidate for congress, will
speak on Campaign Issues" at
meeting which will be held under the
auspices of the Polite club at the Y.
NJ. C. A. rooms on next Wednesday
evening. AS this is Mr.. Fosters first
appearance during the campaign, his
utterances will doubtless be of a highly
interesting nature, as Warren has no
restriction in the use of language.

CHAIRMAN WANTED
Souires and Christensen the Leading
Candidates.

Wanted-A chairman. Must be a
man of intellectual attachments,
wealthy and open-hearted; sound on
the silver question and an advocate of
the gold standard. An advocate Of pro-
lection, home protection and reciprocity
preferred. Apply at the rooms OF the
Republican county committee tomor-
row at any time from early breakfast
until after supper.
The above advertisement expresses
the wants of the county Republicans,
and to discover a man who will satisfy
all those who constitute the committee,
seems to be the difficulty.
Who will be the chairman? is the
perplexing question. at this writing
it really looks like Squires. George
fills all the requirements, excepting he
has no considerable amount of cash of
his own; but he is open-hearted and
free, and would doubtless put other
peoples money to good use in this
campaign. Candidates who contribute
may rest assured there viii be no bal
ances in the treasury after the cam
paign shall have ended.
But George does not suit all the city
members. He lives outside the limits,
and the city members do not want a
man from the outside, no matter how
capable he may be. 10 would be an adj
mission that Salt Lake has no talent,
and if there is anything the city Re
publicanS pride themselves upon, it is
talent. SO there is a campaign against
George, which bids fair to down him.
No man knoweth who will be the chair
man, but the friends of Farley Chris
Jensen are using their efforts with the
candidates to recommend him for the
place.
Now, Farley isn't working for the
job at all. Farley is wise young man.
He knows the fate which waits for
chairman who does not lead his party
to victory. He will be cussed and dis
cussed and recussed. He will be CLASH
fed as a no good; man who has no
influence at all; who has no ability;
and he will go down through the years,
unwept, unhonored and unsung.
Farley is an ambitious young man.
In the days which are coming he may
have a chance to do something for
himself in the political line. Farley
looks forward to a time when politics
will even up in this city and state, and
he may have a chance to go before the
people and get something. To accept
the craftsmanship and fall down means
that he could not go before a conven-
ton and get a nomination for justice
of the peace in a Republican precinct.
Farley is rising young man, who is
just building up a law practice, and
this work would take away a whole lot
of his time. He would be compelled
to neglect his business, and the clients
would kick, and kick hard; so Farley
does not want it. But the committee
wants him to take it, and there is the
situation. Perhaps Squires' friends
can induce enough candidates to de-
clare for him, and SO end it, but there
will be a lively scrap, unless a COM
promise is effected meantime

the Republicans will carry Rich county.
Wesley is nothing if not an ootimist-
He looks at things with glasseS-which
magnify, and in this instance he had
the power turned Aon to its full limit.
OF course respectable audiences greet
ed the congressional stumping party,
but. as a gentleman from Rich county
said yesterday, Mrs. Jarley's wax
works would have received as much
attention. Wesley forgets the pres
ence Of Meakin. John P. is an elocu-
ZIONIST of no mean merit. His fame
attracts people, and they go to hear
him. brakes Address to the Flag and
THE Dandy Fifth" are what bring the
crowds. Just as long as they keep
John good audiences will attend and
listen with rapt attention

Call For District Committees

Commencing tomorrow, it ifs the pur-
pose of Chairman Lloyd to prosecute
a most vigorous campaign, and one of
the important steps taken is the call
ing together of all the municipal ward
and election district committees in the
city. The committees of each ward will
meet u0on separate evenings at the
Democratic county headquarters, and
the purpose is to inaugurate the cam
paign work by instructing the commit
tees in their duties, starting the can
vass, etc. Chairman Lloyd's call, des-
ignating the evenings for each ward,
follows:
The committees of the voting dis
tricts and the municipal wards are re-
Cuested to meet at headquarters, 211
State street, on the following dates, at
7:30 D. m:

First ward-Wednesda evening.
Third ward-Thursday evening.

WILL BE A LARGE ONE.
Ratification Meeting at the Theatre
Tuesday.


1t is expected there will be a great
meeting at the Theatre on Tuesday
evening next. when the Democracy
meets to ratify the selections of their
convention. All the candidates are ex-
pected to be present and make short
addresses, and the leading speakers of
the party will be on hand to take part.
Held's band will furnish the instru-
mental music, and the newly organized
Democratic Glee club will be present
and sing the latest campaign songs,
which will be catchy and to the point.
From now on until election day the
Democracy proposes to let no oppor-
tunity escape for bringing the issues of
the day before the people. The party
has nothing to fear from such result,
and courts an opportunity of discussing
the policies which govern the nation
anG the state.
The congressional campaign will open
at Provo on the evening of the 3rd,
when Congressman b. H. Roberts will
address the people there. Other speak
will be the principal orator of the even
ing. Provo has a glee club organized,
and they will present the latest cam
raign songs on that occasion.
This is going to be a year of Demo-
cratic success in Utah, and nothing can
stop it. Democracy must and will win
all along the line. Other states are
waiting to hear the result in this, the
heart of the silver producing country.
and when the returns are sent in all
the world will know Utah stands for
the right. Colorado, Montana, Idaho,
Nevada, Wyoming, Utah and the other
intermountain states are going to
speak with no uncertain tones, and the
voice of the west to the Democracy of
the east is going to be emphatic.
No amount of personal abuse and
would-be sarcasm is going to cause the
triumphant Democracy to swerve from
its duty, and the opposition might as
well prepare for a straightout, stand-up
fight on the issues which confront the
people.

GENII OF THINGS UNKNOWN.
Cooke, the Famous Spiritualist, at
the Grand Sunday Night.

Sunday night, Oct 2, at the Grand
DR.. Cooke, who has recently returned
from a five years tour of Australia,
India, China and Japan, will give a
seance for the purpose of demonstrat-
ing spirit power in the light. The fol-
lowing are among the demonstrations
given: Cookies open seance, as present
ed by him before the leading scientific
societies of England, Austria, Germany
and France. Cooke was by them sub
jected to the most critical test condi-
lions. There is not one member among
them but acknowledges that in the
presence Of Mr. Cooke there is a Won
derful power and intelligence outside
the body that can assume a human
form and annihilate distance. But
what this power is there is a diversity
of opinion. A table rises and floats in
mid-air. flowers are brought and passed
through the audience by unseen hands,
spirit slate writing, questions written
and retained by the interrogators will
receive full and intelligent answers. A
small admission fee will be charged.

DAMAGE JUDGMENT AFFIRMED
E. ". Reese VS.. the Morgan Silver
Mining Company.

The supreme court yesterday affirm
ed the judgment Of the lower court in
the damage suit of E. w. Reese VS..
the Morgan Silver Mining company.
The case was before this tribunal once
before and has dragged on in the courts
for a long time.
Reese's son was killed while descend
ing into defendants mine, and it was
found by a jury that the ladder used
was rotten, and the accident due to the
company's fault entirely, and $1,000
damages were awarded. The company's
counsel took appeal, contending much
hearsay testimony was allowed to go
in, and on the grounds that the judges
instructions to the jury were unfair.
The opinion, which was written by
Justice Miner and concurred in by
Chief Justice Zane and Justice Bartch
finds no reversible errors.
Judge Powers was the attorney for
the plaintiff.

EARL Is CONFIDENT.
Has a Vision That He Will Be
Elected.

Lancelot NJ. Earl, candidate for coun-
ty recorder. is again having visions.
This time the hallucination which
LGncelot labors under is one which
has told him he is going to be elected.
He says he is going to carry the Fourth
ward almost Solidly, and that he will
get all the non peterson votes there
are in the city.
In olden times there was Sir Lance
lot, although he had a ''u'' in his name,
who started out to carry the conven-
ton, elect all the delegates and run the
election. He began by playing the
queen, just as this Sir Lancelot is do
ing. He ran up against the king and
got the worst of it, just as this Sir
Lancelot is going to do, for Jensen not
only holds the king, but the ace and
the balance of the trumps.

Farnsworth Answers,

The defendant in the suit of the Ne
vada company VS.. Philo T. Farms
worth yesterday filed his answer in the
United States district court. The an
swer is very short, and is nothing more
than general denial of all the ma
terial allegations of the complaint.
The Nevada company sued to recover
$40, money alleged to have been
entrusted to the defendant to apply on
various purchases Of property made by
the defendant on behalf of the plain
tiff, and which money, it is alleged, the
defendant applied to his own use.

QUESTION OF INTEREST.
Suit On Batch of County War
rants.

A. NJ. Mcintosh yesterday entered
suit against Salt Lake county to COM
pei payment on a batch of warrants
aggregating $S,271.32 including interest
at the rate of s per cent from date OF
presentation at the treasurer'S office
for payment. The warrants are among
the lot which was validated by the
legislature, and the only question in
dispute is the amount of interest. The
holders claim they are entitled to 8 per
cent from the time the warrants were
presented for payment at the treas
urer's office, while the county commits
sioners refuse to pay more than per
cent from the date of valuation, the
law reducing the rate to 5 per cent at
that time being in effect.
1t is quite probable that this suit will
not come to trial, as a similar case is
now pending in the supreme court, and
a decision in that case may decide the
question in this.
