civil service commission, is the new
Daughter of the Confederacy. Her

JUAB REPUBLICANS SORE.
Nominated Man For Representa-
tive They Will Not Support.

Nephi, Sept 2S-The Republicans of this
side of the county have just awakened
up to realize that they are the victims of
a very slick political bunco game worked
upon the verdant statesmen they elected
as delegates to the county convention,
and they are not only mad but democrat
lied and disguised. For a week proceed
from here. nine-tenths of whom were
Miller men, held nightly
secret CaucuSeS and decided upon a slate.
The county had been so gerrymandered
as to give this side a majority of dele
gates over Tintic, but Juab and Drum,
both of which were depended upon, failed
to send delegates or proxies, and Tfntic
came into the convention with one ma
jority, and after counting noses demand
ed the representation and several other
old things for their side After a long
and bitter wrangle in the joint caucus
they won out, Nephi yielding in order to
save as many of the county officers as
delegates or sheepmen who demanded
recognition. In order to make these nom
nations sure they agreed upon a division
of the possible SpOllS between the two
sides OF the county, and worked through
pledge that the convention would una
by the delegates OF the east and west Sc
lected in separate caucus. ne fact has
just dawned upon them that here is
where they let their foot slip. The first
rattle out of the box Tintic turned up
William Hatfield of Salt Lake for rep
resentative; he went through with a roar,
as per agreement. But now it turns out
non man; he hasn't even a little bit of
love for Arthur Brown, and if by chance
should be elected the sheepmen down
here would be in a bad frame of mind.

IDENTIFICATION BEGINS.
Juab Republicans Will Not Work For
Their Ticket
Especial to The Herald.l

Especial to The Herald1
Nephi, Sept. 2S.-The work of the Re-
publican county convention held here on
Monday was so manifestly ill-advised
and unfair that the result has fallen like
a wet blanket upon a majority of the
hitherto active and influential party
workers. who cannot see their way clear
TO give ardent support to the county
ticket put in nomination. Prominent
among these is the Hon. Henry Adams,
member of the Republican state commit
tee, and of the county and precinct COM
mittees. Mr.. Adams is recognized
throughout the state as one of the
shrewdest of party managers, but he
feels called upon to withdraw from local
politics for the time being as have most
of the old-time Republican leaders on
both sides of the county. The apparent
intention is to let the verdant element
provide the money and manage their
tight. 1t is expected loyal support will
be given, however, by this influential ele-
ment to the Republican state and legis-
lative tickets The letter of Mr.. Adams,
which is now on file with the county
chairman, is as follows:
N. H. Mix, Esq, Chairman County
Committee: Dear Sir-I hereby tender my
resignation as a member of your commit
tee. to take effect at once. My personal
duties are such that 1 cannot afford to
neglect them to attend to committee
work, for which ingratitude is the only
consideration. Yours, truly,
(Signed) HENRY ADAMS"

ADJUSTMENTS.


Henry Miller's engagement came to a
brilliant close last evening. Not only was
there a large audience, but the presence
of General Kent and his staff was made
the occasion of patriotic demonstration,
the orchestra playing The Star SpangieSd
the general, standing during the rendi-
ton.
"A Marriage of Convenience is as diff
ferent from The Master as that play is
from 'Heartsease.' Three such widely
varying works have evidently been select
ed to allow Mr.. Miller to display the YER
satility of his talents, and in each he
shines.
The average audience will vote that "a
Marriage of Convenience will be the

at glass of old porter, and "A Mar

very much body. Mr.. Miller's coStuming

der. Nothing like the effects have been
seen here for long, long time The
which really gave MIN but limited oppor-
tunities-was admirably seconded by the
work of Miss Best, Mr.. Elliot, Mr.. Wells
and Miss Dale.
There was a good turnout at the matt
nee, and the audience, which was COM
posed almost exclusively of ladies, gave
Mr.. Miller as handsome a reception in
'Heartsease' as he received on the open
ing night. The piece made an unusual i'm
preston. Mr.. Miller remains in the city
visiting old friends today, and joins his
company in Ogden tonight, where he
gives one performance.

NICARAGUA ROUTE FEASIBLE.
FAVORABLE REPORT FROM THE
GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS.
Estimate the Cost at Less Than One
Hundred Millions-No Work Has
Been Done For Two Years.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Eight govern
ment engineers who have been engaged
on the preliminary survey of the Mic
arauga canal have arrived in this city
on the steamship Altai of the Atlas
line. They remained in Nicaragua to
complete the work which was in prog
resS when Admiral Walker and other
members of the commission were re-
called to take part in the war with
Spain.
EbenS Wheeler was the chief engi-
neer of the party. It's other members
were Andrew OnderdOnk, Harvey C.
Miller, Louis Hawkins. William D.
Thomas. Richard B. Post, P. j. Burns
and Horatio II. Trundle.
The preliminary work was finished
before the party left the field, and a
vast amount of data, the results of sur
veying, borings and soundings, has
been brought back and will be in
cluded in the official reports, which
will be placed before congress at its
coming session.
The surveys show that the proposed
canal is entirely feasible, and that the
cost will be considerably less than the
estimates made by the Ludlow commits
sion, or the sum named by Admiral
Walker a year ago as likely to be
needed.
The reduction in cost is due to a
change in the location of the OchOa
dam and to other notifications of the
old route.
The Ludlow commission estimated
the cost of the canal at 1888, 00O, 900. Adj
miral Walker named $3.50, 900, 900 as the
aggregate cost. The report of the en-
gineers will place the estimate at less
than 800 900, 900.
By changing the location of the dam
from Ochoa TO a point IA miles lower
down, the building of the San Juan
basin and it's costly embankment can
be avoided and a saving of 600
made.
While Mr.. Wheeler and other mem
bers of the returning party declined to
be quoted at any length in reference
to the canal work, they say their re-
ports will show that the canal is a
project containing no serious Difficult
ty, and that it can be quickly and
cheaply built.
1t is two years now since any actual
work has been done -On the canal by
the company of which Warner Miller
is the head. The concession obtained
by the company from the Nicaragua
government is said to still hold good.
The attempt to build the canal by pri-
vate means has been abandoned by Mr..
Miller and his associates, and all rights
in the premises have been offered to
the government.
A syndicate of Chicago capitalists,
headed by E. F. Cragin, have looked
over the ground, and it is now said to
be endeaVoring to obtain a concession
from Nicaragua. Mr.. Cragin and
party of civil engineers and cOntrac-
tors from Chicago have recently re-
turned from the isthmus, and are said
to be interesting members Of congress
in their plans.
The statisticians have placed the vol
ume Of the commerce that is likely to
pass through the canal much higher
than the estimates of the government,
and their opinion is that the revenues
to be derived will warrant them in
spending considerably more than $780,
900, 900 in building the canal

ERNIE BEsTS LAVIGNE.
Lightweight Champion Came Near
Losing His Title.


Losing His Title.
New York, Sept. 2S.-"Kid'' Lavigne,
lightweight champion pugilist of the
world, came very near losing his title
tonight at the Greater New York Ath-
letic club in a 20-round bout with
France Erne of Buffalo. Erne proved
a tartar for the Saginaw boxer, who is
not the LaVigne of three years ago by
any means. Erne's wonderful improve
ment was a surprise to the 1000 people
who witnessed the fight. He drew La
vigne to him and sent back as good as
he got in many of the rounds, while in
some OF them he out-pointed the cham
pion- sr- t-s
1t was generally understood that a
decision was to be given on points, and
the statement made at the end of the
bout that both men had agreed to call
1t draw in the case the men were
good and strong at the END of the
twentieth round, was a source. of keen
disappointment to a host of Erne's
friends, who looked for a favorable de-
cision- Had the bout been decided
upon points, Erne certainly would have
got the championship honors and the
winners slice of the $1,000 purse which
the club hung up for the contest.
The men who laid odds of to 1 on

be present, owing to injuries received
from Mccoy in their fight today in a

We grieve at the unnecessary suffering
they have undergone in the various mill
tary camps, and we demand that a thor

of said suffering.
"A public office is a public trust, and
county local affairs should be admins
trated on business principles, with the
view, and we pledge the candidates of the
party to thorough business administra-
ton of county affairs.
The future growth of Grand county de-
ponds largely on the development of its
great natural resources, which can place
it to the front as wealth-producing
county of the state, and, as good roads
are necessary to its development, we ask
the legislature for state aid for improve

Grand county possesses a large tract
of the most fertile soil, needing only irri-
