 That Ned Hamilton has left the service of the Examiner is common knowledge among members of the craft. That in losing him the paper lost it's strongest man there will be no question. How reporter who is at all times a gentleman could so long have borne association with the boor- ish incompetence which directs the yellow journals destiny has been a puzzle For a journalist of brains and character to be subject to the orders or one lacking these essentials, and yet to maintain his dignity and do his work, is little less than a triumph. suppose Hamilton had reached the limit of endurance. Even under un- favorable conditions, rasped by petty annoyances, one of these being his off, cial superior Hamilton has been a tower of strength to the paper he has left and will be particularly missed, as the Examiner is notably short on towers of this kind.

HIS VALENTINE.

Oh! send young Cupid back to me Nor let him know tear, And may the word not lack to me long much to hear. Without it all Is dumb for me
 And life Is loneliness. Then let your answer come for me! Say "Yes," sweetheart, say ''Yesi" Frank Dempster Sherman, in February Ladies' Home Journal.

 CHESS Several Subscribers, Sacramen- to, Cal. These correspondents say: Stan tons Handbook in Chess defines in rule 13 the penalty for an illegal move, as: 1st. The move to stand as played. 2d. To move correctly. Sd. To replace the piece or pawn moved and move to king. In rule r it says: If piece or pawn be touched or be played, when by moving said piece or pawn the king would be in check, the player must replace same and move the king, and if the king cannot be moved there Is to be no penalty. contends that if a player moves a piece or pawn when by so doing the king Is in check, it is an illegal move and if so wished any of three penalties as provided in rule 13 could be enforced. contends that in such case it is an unlawful move, but not an illegal move, as in case the king should not be in check by the action the move would be proper, and further says that the meaning of illegal as governed by rule 13 is to be applied to a move that could not be possibly made, as for in- stance to move the castle like a bishop, etc.
 The answer to the above is: If a piece be moved exposing ones own king to check the move must be withdrawn, and for penalty the offending, player must move his king. If the king has no move, however, or cannot move without placing himself in check, no penalty can be en- forced under either of the rules cited.

BUSINESS IN SACRAMENTO.

N RESIDENT STEPHENS of the Sacramento D Chamber of Commerce was able to make a most encouraging report of the business and progress of that city in his address at the annual meeting of the chamber on Friday evening" while at the same time pointing out how much must be done in the way of public improvements, particularly on the river, before Sacramento will have the full ure of commerce and prosperity which her people have right to expect.
 The rich extent of the fruit industry of California IS well illustrated by the statistics given by President Stefens of the fruit shipments from his city From these 1t appears that for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, there were shipped from Sacramento and adjacent points 45o3 tons of dried fruit 45o5 tons of canned goods, 1888 tons of vegetables 1858 tons of heps and in 1897, from May to November, inclusive, the vast total of 4, ,56o tons of deciduous fruit
 Along with these large overland shipments there was in the city during the past year an excellent and prosperous retail trade, due as MT Stefens points out to the wages paid by the large shops and fac tories for which Sacramento is noted By reason of this the financial affairs of the people have been on solid foundation and the progress and development ot the city have been steady and continuous
 All the business and industry now carried on in Sacramento, however, only emphasizes the need of river improvement or President Stefens terms ;t river restoration" The work is one which the Gen eral Government should undertake and the argument for action its part is the more potent because the State has appropriated $500 900 for the enterprise This display Of State energy fail to have effect at Washington since it demonstrates the importance which Caifornians place upon the proposed improve ment, and accordingly the outlook for Government appropriation in the future is now more promis ing than ever
 It IS gratifying to note the stress which the Sacra mento Chamber of Commerce places upon this much desired work The improvement of the Sacramento and the San oaqunis the State issue of greatest ritude now before the people of California To nro mote 1t there should be cordial cooperation amon all classes of citizens and in all sections of the com. monwealth. It should occupy the attention ot chambers ot commerce everywhere and be kent to the front so long as any portion of the river svst.r mains in need of improvement or restorat;o,

DEMOCRATS IN PARADISE.
Senator Rideout and Mrs. Ferguson
Hold a Big Meeting.
Especial to The Herald

Logan, Oct. 2S.-Hon. D. o. Rideout,
jr., and Mrs. Ellen B. Ferguson held a
most successful meeting at Paradise
last night. The large meeting house
was packed TO it's utmost capacity and
the most unbounded enthusiasm was
manifested, which in itself is very sig
nificant, Paradise being the only Re-
publican precinct in the county. Quite
number of the county candidates
were present and made brief speeches.
The mention of Roberts name brought
forth uproarious applause, and the re-
marks of all the speakers We're punctu-
ated with applause. Mrs. Ferguson
made a happy hit with her audience
in showing up the inconsistencies of
the Republican platform. Mr.. Rideout
received a most cordial reception. Both
of them demonstrated their endurance
as campaigners by driving through the
hills from Rich county yesterday, ar
irving here about 6 o'clock, where a
lunch was partaken of and the journey
continued II miles to Paradise. and at
ter the meeting they partook of re-
freshments served at the residence of
W. H. Thomas, after which they were
driven back to Logan, in all about 10
miles being covered during the day. To-
night they speak at Hyde Park

Senator Rideout and Mrs. Ferguson
Were the Speakers.

Laketown, Oct. Ex-senator D. o.
Rideout and Mrs. Ellen B. Ferguson
held forth here at p. m. and gave. the
citizens an eloquent presentation of the
Democratic view of the issues of the
day. Mr.. Rideout refuted the asser-
ton that under Democratic admins
tration there is no prosperity, and
quoted from a high Republican author
ity, Blaine's Twenty Years in Con-
gress," demonstrating that the most
prosperous times We're under Demo-
cratic rule.
Mrs. Ferguson made an eloquent adj
dress, eXtolling the equal suffrage pro-
vision of the state constitution, and
ascribing the honor thereof to the
Democratic party. She eulogized the
Democratic standard bearers, and paid
her compliments to Candidate Eldredge
and his colleagues and party, particu-
larly to the goldbug- silver-reciprocity
protection Fittings -to-all-people plat
form on which they stand, and re-
marked that if it be true that sitting
between two stools causes one to fail,

BROWN STILL At IT.
Former Senator Relates Curious Tales
In Sanpete.

Especial to The Herald-)
Manti, Oct Senator Arthur
Brown was the chief attraction at the
Republican rally here last night, but
his coming failed most dismally to at
tract. But few people turned out to
hear him, and out of the number. ex-
elusive of small children, were a num-
Der of Democrats. Mr.. Brown threShed
over 'iold straw" and said Grover
Cleveland brought disaster to the coun-
try when he was elected president, and
prosperity only came when the>Repub-
licans were in power. He maintained
that tariff was the great issue now
before the people, and that the silver
question had been settled. He endeav-
ored to show that the Republican party
was the only true friend of silver, and
that the Democratic party was its en-
envy. He was fearful now lest the De-
mocracy would again be successful,
and repeal the Dingley bill, which, he
said, was bringing so much prosperity
to the people. He was sorry that the
miners of this state forgot to vote for
that great champion of silver, William
Mckinley, in 1896, but had instead voted
for Bryan, who led them on by the al
Turing promises of free silver. A vote
cast for Roberts, he said, meant Cox
ey'S army, and not silver. He main
tanned that the war was an issue, and
that its glory was due to the Republi-
can president. 4 vote for Roberts, he
said, is vote against the war. The
speaker ridiculed Senator Rawlins for
introducing the resolution declaring
war against Spain, when the country
was not prepared for war. King and
Cannon came in for the ex-senator's
vituperation, whom he classed with
Rawlins as being great warriors"
Ferdinand Alder, Republican candi-
date for state senator, who idolized
Hon. Frank ]. Cannon two years ago,
and who voted for w. ]. Bryan, also
spoke. Mr.. Alder eulogized Senator
Brown. He had been for silver in the
past. but now they stood upon one
platform reunited.
If the people of Sanpete county can
be cajoled into supporting men who are
one thing today and something else to-
morrow, we shall certainly be disap-
pointed in their good judgment.
