Especial to The HeraId.)

Especial to The Herald.)
Kamas, Oct. 12.-The Eldredge combi-
nation was greeted tonight by a good
audience, two-thirds of whom were
Democrats. Eldredge, in his speech,
claimed that the Republican party
could and would do more for silver
than the Democrats, and referred to
the planks in the state platforms of
1872 and 8, which planks he claimed to
have aided in placing there. He said
the people of his own town accused
him of being a goldbug, when, at the
same time, he had more money invested
in silver mines than the whole town
combined.
John Henry Smith, in his speech, de-
clared that the Democratic party had
ruined the nation. and Wiley Brown
also spoke, and Meakin spoke his pieces.
1t was the deadest rally ever held here.

Richfeld, Oct. 12.-At II o'clock this
morning County Chairman James H.
Wells of Joseph called the Democratic
county convention to order, which
proved to be one of the most harmon
ious and successful conventions ever
held in this city. E. w. Mcdaniel was
appointed temporary chairman, and
Mrs. Ellen A. Lisonbee was chosen as
temporary secretary.
The permanent officers were James
H. Wells of Joseph, chairman, and Mrs.
L. B. Kinney of Redmond secretary.
B. II. Greenwood of Central was re-
nominated for the legislature, but was
given a close run by E. w McDan-
lei and w. H. Seegmiller. Mr.. Green
wood, in accepting the nomination, an
nounced himself for w. H. King for
senator
The ticket was completed as follows:
Attorney, George T. Bean, RichfieId:
treasurer, p. H. Candland, Salina:
clerk, H. n. Noyes, Richfield; commits
sioners, Hans Tuft, Monroe; Herbert

Assistant. Fire Chief McCarty testified
that the building was three stories or
more in height, and he understood that
the chief had given notification to Mr..
Quigiey to put in an escape. but he
didn't know this to certainty, and
only knew from hearsay that Quigley
is the manager. Upon this testimony
P. L. Williams, attorney for defendant,
asked for an acquittal- Clerk Chris
Diehl asked for a continuance of the
case until the return of Chief Devine
from the fire chiefs convention, his
evidence being regarded very essen
tial. Judge Timmony decided to ac-
quit, with the statement that a new
complaint might be filed. 1t appears
that this is but a postponement of the
case, since Mr.. Quigley stated after
wards that he was willing to admit be-
ing the manager, and that the real
question involved is the meaning or
validity of the ordinance.

the best of feeling prevails among all
the candidates and delegates and also
the fact that the ticket is made up
from the very best timber that could
be had in the county, everybody who
was in attendance today felt confident
that today was the banner day of De-.
mocracy in Sewer county. 1t was an
nounced at the close of the convention
tonight, which, by the way, was after
8 o'clock, that Roberts and Harris
would speak in the opera house in this

KING AND RIDEoUT.
Two Effective Speeches Delivered at
Brigham City.
Especial to The Herald0

kCpeCldl W Lie I1Sl clN-1
Brigham, Oct. 13.-A large and enthu-
siastic audience greeted the Hon. w.
H. King and Hon. D. o. Rideout at the
opening Democratic. rally in the opera
house at Brigham City tonight. Mr..
Kings speech was a gem. He was I'M
sparing in his arraignment of the Re
publican party as the enemy of free
silver. He proved that Republicans
everywhere were advocates of the sin
gle standard, and admonished all who
voted for Bryan to remain true to
themselves and their country, and vote
for Democracy and the friends of sill
yer, the Democratic candidates.
Hon. D. o. Rideout ably gave many
reasons why he was Democrat and
why all people in the west should be.
The enthusiasm was in marked fon-
trast to the cold reception given the
speakers at the Republican rally last
week. Democracy is bound to carry
everything before it in Box Elder
county this year.

Ordinance Relating to Fire Escapes
On Buildings.
HAS NO LEGAL EXISTENCE
ITS ENFORCEMENT Is THERE
FORE AN IMPoSSIBILITY.
Discovery Made By Ex-Councilman
'Meara-Cases Against Him and
Charles Quigley Dismissed In the
Police Court observation-disclosures
ers Dealt With By Judge Timmony

For good cause ex-City Councilman
O'Meara was in a high state of glee
yesterday Ever since his neglect to
equip his building on State street with
stand-pipes and fire escapes became the
concern of Chief Devine, Billy has
had visions of a term of service in the
city Jail and all the attendant horrors
He had been urging the city council
to amend the ordinance so that build
ings of three-storieS in height would
not be required to be equipped with
fire escapes and stand-pipes. Such an
amendment would let him out OF his
difficulty easily, but the process OF
municipal law making is too slow when
speedy relief from a tight place is
desired.
O'Meara had an inspiration that the
ordinance itself was not sound. He
went digging in the council records
and struck something that fairly made
him push his eyes back into his head
Not satisfied with the recorded ordin-
ance he examined the council record.
This showed that the ordinance re
quiring the erection of fire escapes and
stand-pipes had never reached its third
reading, been put upon its passage
nor had ever been passed. Attorney
Hutchinson pronounced the discovery
/ of this evidence the best thing that
/ could have happened as temporary
dismissal of defendant O'Meara's case
/ in the police court. City Recorder
Backman admitted the facts shown,
| but since the time of the record en-
tries was away back in 1890, before he
went into the Office, he had no means
of knowing how the blunder had hap
/ pened of recording as regularly passed
an unenacted ordinance.
When O'Meara's case was called in
the police court yesterday he sprung
| the invalid ordinance upon the unSuS-
I pecting prosecutor, who Immediately
threw up his hands and dismissed the
charge. There were others. too, and
! they took a similar course of dismissal.
After emerging from Judge Timmony's
court room O'Meara hunted up his
councilmanic friends to tell them that
they need not bother about amending
| the ordinance to relieve him of
responsibility until the council first
passed an ordinance in the interest of
public safety that would stand such a
/ test as he had successfully applied to
| If

must be between 80 and SO years of age,
in perfect physical condition, without
family ties, and an experience of not
less than one year in some hospital or
as an attendant to some regular practi-
toner Of medicine. Those who have
diplomas from medical institutions or
schools for the training of nurses stand
the best chance of appointment. Up to
this time only about SO have been Sc
lected, and it is not believed that any
more will be necessary at present They

othea Dix was the generalissimo of
nurses at the headquarters of the army,
and DR.. MCGEE has been studying her
experience with great interest. Only one
of the rules which Miss Dix strictly en-
forced has been rejected by DR.. MCGEE,
and that will no doubt be qualification
to many sick soldiers Miss Dix exclud-
ed all gooo looking women from the
hospitals. An ugly face to her was a
strong recommendation. Mrs. MCGEE,
being an uncommonly pretty woman
herself, Indignantly repudiates the idea
that pretty faces are out Of place amid
scenes Of suffering Moreover, she takes
the ground that women who have been
mothers and have raised boys are more
likely to be useful than old maids Miss
Dix thought differently. She had diff
ferent point Of view. She was never mar
ried, while DR.. MCGEE was a wife at

is the daugher of Professor Simon New

nero. and for awhile he was allowed to
bring us wine, but later that was STOP
ped. On the next day the general called
on us and told us that our money and
papers had been turned over to Sir Alex
ander Gollan, the British consul gener-
al, and that we could write to 4 N for
money. He also gave me permission to
write to a friend to bring clothing and
for him to visit us. I wrote to him the
next day to come and also to the consul
to send US money On the day after we
received a very kind letter from Sir
Alexander inclosing money, and my
friend, S. I. Pinkney, brought US cloth
ing and money and was allowed to see u.s.
On the 10th La Lucha published an
article stating that we were to be ex-
changed, but we could not believe that
it was so because we did not think that
they would exchange four men for two,
especially men of their rank. The days
passed pretty much the same as in any
other prison, and we received no real
information that we were to be ex-
changed until the morning that they
brought us away, although the officers
had given us several hints to that effect
When we were taken out of our cells
by Lieutenant Martinez, we were blind
folded and taken first to the general,
who wished to bid US goodby. We were
glad of chance to thank him for all
his kind favors. He and the rest of the
officers wished us all kinds of good
luck. Then we were taken blindfolded
down to the wharf, where after a delay
of about an hour the gunboat MARQUEE
de Molins came out and picked us up.
Officers were on board representing the
harbor, army, navy and the British con-
sui. All Of them received us very cor
daily. Mr.. Arosteguia, who represent
ed the British consulate, turned over to
us our papers and money. The Spanish
boat steamed ont to where the Maple
was anchored, about mile and half
otfshore, and in short time the ex-
change was effected. The prisoners were
first brought from the Maple, and they
were overjoyed to see US and be under
their own flag again. They threw their
arms around us and thanked us for be-
ing taken prisoners. We were immedi.
ately sent on board the Maple, where
Captain Kellogg and officers received us
with every attention. Our feelings to
again stand beneath Old Glory were in
describable, and even now, here in Key
West, it is hard to realize that we are
really free.-Charles H. Thrall in New
York World.
