Cut Prices Not Likely to Continue
Much Longer.
DEALERS AGAIN FLIRTING
CHANCE FOR THEM TO GET TO-
GETHER AGAIN.
Union Pacific Officials Coming to At
tend the Annual Meeting-Pros
poets Are Against Combination of
Short Line and Union Pacific
Railway Notes and Personals.

For the benefit of those who may
think this coal war is going to last,
the statement may be made with good
effect, perhaps, that all who want coal
at reduced figures, had best get in on
the ground floor, as there may be a
restoration of rates during the next
few days. Coal is cheaper now than it
has been for long time. SO cheap
that many of the dealers are losing
money on what they handle, and II 1t
goes much lower it may affect the
rates on the railroads. but it is not be-
lieved such will be the case.
The other companies met the cuts Of
the Diamond people yesterday, but
there were many reasons for believing
the competition was hurting, as sew
eral local men declared that owing to
the amount of slack which was con-
tanned in each car, they were losing
money except on carload lots. In ton
sales and less the loss is very heavy,
and the coal men are now ready to get
together for o restoration of rates.
1t is learned that the Union Pacific
Coal company has agreed TO furnish all
it's patrons with coal-at the old rates.
No concessions being made in this di-
rection, those who handle the coal of
L
hard row to hoe as any of them, if
not bit harder.
I'VE do not expect to make any more
cuts" said Manager. Marsh of the Dia-
mond last evening, unless the same is
absolutely necessary. AT this time it
looks as if bedrock would be reached
very soon. We have accomplished the
object which we sought, and are ready
to meet the others on fair and equit-
able basis We cannot go much lower
without affecting the railroad rates
which govern, and we do not care to
monkey with that part of the situa-
ton"
From other sources it was gathered
that there was likely to be a settle
ment of the matter very soon, and that
a meeting of the managers would
doubtless be held at an early day this
week, with view to making a partial,
if not a complete, restoration of the
prices.
In the meantime if customers want
coal, now is the time to buy, when the
same is cheap.

Political Notes.

Joseph Bull, jr., secretary, and ]. H.
Haslam, chairman of the Third ward,
have called the campaign committee of
the ward together on tomorrow even
ing, at 327 North First West, for the
purpose of taking action concerning the
coming campaign.
Throu- n inadvertence the name of
Hon. F. S. FernstrOm was omitted from
the names of the executive committee
appointed by the chairman of the coun-
ty committee. His name should appear
there, as he was selected. The list fur
nished The Herald did not contain his
name, and it was doubtless omitted by
mistake.
The new drum corps, 80 strong, under
the leadership of Majors Levy and
Stanton, paraded the streets last even
ing. A very fine showing was made,
although about 20 of the members were
unable to get away to attend, on ac
count of business engagements. The
corps serenaded Hon. A. w. McCune,
who informed them he would send them
to any portion of the state they might
wish to go, for campaign purposes,
without costing them a cent. The corps
then repaired to the residence of Hon.
D. c. Dunbar, where refreshments We're
served. @
Ever since the state headquarters of
the Democracy were located in the old
rooms of the Salt Lake Valley Loan &
Trust company, the ecstatic young man
who writes politics for the Tribune has
had something to say nearly every day
concerning the vault" Yesterday there
was a rush of people to state head
quarters, and among them were Hon.
A W. McCune and Judge Powers. The
two wanted a place to converse in pTi-
vate and, in the presence of the Tribune

NOMINATION CERTIFICATES.
State Ticket Completely Filed-Coun-
ty Still Dfags.

Certificates of nomination for county
and precinct officers are coming in to
the county clerks office slowly; too
slowly, in fact, as far as the Democrats
are concerned. Any nominations which
are not filed before the oath will be de-
MED the privileges of the official ballot,
and it is the duty of those in charge to
present the same as soon as possible,
says the county chairman. This applies
with equal force to all who have not
been regularly nominated and want
their names on the official ballot as in
dependent candidates.
All the nominations for congressman,
justice of the supreme court and state
senators required to be filed with the
secretary of the state, were filed on or
before yesterday, the last day, and the
state ticket is now in good shape. State
senators nominated from counties COM
prising districts by themselves do not
have their nominations filed with the
secretary, but it is sufficient that they
be filed with the clerk of the county in
which they were selected as candidates.
But where a candidate is nominated by
two or more counties, the certificate of
the convention has to be sent to the
secretary.

UNION PACIFIC PEOPLE.
Officials Are Coming In Special
Train

Omaha papers still continue to relate
that after the annual meetings which
will be held in this city next week,
there will be no more to the Short
Line; that it will become a branch of
the Union Pacific; that Bancroft will
be made division superintendent, and
Eccles a station agent, and all that
sort of thing The Omaha papers be
lieve because President Burt has sue
ceeded in forcing the matter of their
union depot TO a finish, that the Union
Pacific is going to absorb all the loose
lines, east, west, north and south, with
the Nebraska porl1opolis as a great
center.
President Burt will attend the Union
Pacific meeting in this city next week,
and the party is now getting ready
for the event. With him will come
Winslow S. Pierce, the general counsel
of the company; T. Jefferson Coolige,
who is also a director in the Short
Line; General Manager Z. Dickinson,
General Solicitor William r. Kelly and
Assistant General Solicitor John n.
Baldwin. The party assembled at
Omaha on Friday preparatory to max
ing the journey, and will come to this
city in a handsome special train.
AS the days so byt the Union Pacific
attaches here grow more and more
anxious, as they would delight in see
ing headquarters here closed and re-
moved to Omaha, while the Short Line
people become more and more conf
dent. There is nothing to warrant the
belief that consolidation is going to
be effected

AT p. m. the name of Judge Knox

minutes, calling the attention of the au-

of his reasons for blending his inter
ests, energy and vote with the Demo-
cratic party of our nation. Replying
to the censures and deprecations of his
friends who have had much to say OF
late as to his change, he defied any one

FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Eichnor Proposes to Let No Man
Escape.

Escape.
Chairman Eichnor has determined to
let no man with money escape, and
yesterday selected a finance committee,
which is charged with the duty of rails
ing funds for the campaign. This COM
Inittee is composed of the following
gentlemen: James T. Hammond,
George A. Smith, George 7. Odell, A.
A. Robinson, E. II. Callister and w. S.
Haigh. When that aggregation gets
through with a man, in the judgment
of those who claim to be informed, he
will not have enough left to make a
showing.
The chairman then appointed an ad
visory committee, consisting of George
b. Squires, chairman; E. II. Callister
and G. J. Spencer. The duties of the
committee are to meet with the chair
man and advise him as to what to 90,
when he finds himself in tight place.
The advisory committee, judging by
the indications, will have plenty to do
this fail.
1t is claimed that the Scandinavian
Republican club is in a fair way to be
reorganized, although the loss of such
sterling members as oscar Youngberg
and Al Eklund, who have come out as
Democrats, is hampering the members
considerably. Both were great helps in
campaign times.

Investigation of the War Department.

1t is the common report that persons
who are not now charged with negli-
gence or incompetence viii be caught in
the net of inquiry, while others who
are openly accused will be found
blameless. If an inquiry should be
made into the cause of so much sick
ness outside the army, it would be
found that many people who think
themselves in good condition are really
caught in the net of disease. Many Of
them are losing strength so slowly
that they do not know it. To build up
strength and enrich the blood, use Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t is good for
any arrangement of stomach, liver and
bowels, and nothing equals it for dys-
pepsia and Indigestion.
