The county commissioners yesterday
performed their minus farce of open
ing bids and awarding contracts for
county physician. and county undey-
taker. and for maintaining the county
poor at the poor house. They gave the
contracts to their relatives without re-
gard to bids, and this followed the
presidents established by former
boards. The following bids were op-
ened:

month.

Commissioner Terrell moved that the
contract for county physician be
awarded to DIR. Carney. Commissioners
Clark and Matthew voted against 1t
and then voted to give the contract to
DIR. Siberian. the present incumbent.
Mr.. Terrell next made a motion that
the contract for keeping the county
poor be given to Mrs. Chapman. her
bid being the lowest. but the other two
commissioners voted no. They also
voted against awarding IL to Mrs. Allen.
When the bid of Mrs. Hare. an ex-

not be represented also by an attor-

the fact that copies of the letter have
been sent TO agents all over the coun-

upon the notice as a shrewd method of
calling the attention of the
commissioners N OF congressman to
the fact hat the commerce law can
not be enforced with satisfaction and

night over the matter, and refused to
be comforted -
ON one in the battery questions the
motives of the commander in chief. 1t
is believed that he thought he acted for
the very best. Nor is it deemed adj
visable, at this time, to enter into any
discussion on the causes which led up
to the order disbanding the battery.
Perhaps some time in the future an op-
portunity may present itself.
But this fact may be stated, not as
new. but as a reaffirmation of news,
that if trouble begins, ont one man in
Battery A, speaking for the rank and
file and nearly all the officers, will
shirk from any responsibility. It's a
case where the honor of the nation is
more TO them than their own. Cover
nor Wells makes no mistake when he
places confidence in the loyalty of the
men who have ceased to serve the
state. They may not be as successful
money-makers as some, but when it
comes to getting the guns ON the firing
line, they are as willing, as anxious to
go as any. and would stay there as long
as desired by those in the supreme
command. If Battery A is reorganiZed
and the good timber which has been
mustered out is again mustered in,
Utah will have no criticism to make,
in the event trouble comes.
To speak of the sentiment which pre-
walls on the street and reflect il as
given to officers and men would be to
cause more heartburnings, of which
there has been enough. Let the men
who have been mustered out bear the
regarded as an honorable man, a just
gentleman, and time will right all
wrongs. if any, and the cloud will no
doubt be lifted.

ANTI RITUAL|STIC CRUSADE
PAINFUL SCENE AT A LONDON
CHURCH.
Nearly Riot Over the Conduct of
Mr.. Kensil, Who Disturbed the
generation of the Cross"

London, April 9.-The anti-ritualistic
crusade of Mr.. John Kensil. the layman
who, on Jan. Is, 1897, caused a sensation
by reading a protest against the cleo
ton of DR.. Msngell Creighton, as bish-
op of London, in succession to the
Most Rev. Frederick Temple, now
Archbishop of Canterbury, on the
ground of DR.. Creighton's alleged desire
to undo the work of the reformation
by introducing the trinkets of Rome, -
etc, has been especially vigorous dur
ing holy week, eliminating in eXtraor-
binary scenes in the st. Cuthbert
church yesterday Good Friday, Wnere,
as customary during the past yeas,
the conduct of the service consisted in
chanting st. Johns story of the passion
on the same lines as the Oberammer-
gau play. the officiating clergy taking
the roles of Christ and CaiaDhas. One
of the principal features is known as
the generation of the Cross, and the
crucifix was being removed from the
altar to the steps. when the clergy, AGO.
lytes and congregation advance IN
pairs. PROSTATE themselves and kiss the
figure of Christ.
At the tail OF the procession was Mr..
KensiI. surrounded by a body Of
friends. They advanced TO the altar
steps. but, instead of kneeling, Kensil
Mortified the congregation by suddenly
seizing the crucifix, raising it aloft and
frantically rushing toward the door,
shouting: In the name of God, de-
nounce this idolatry and popery in the
Church OF England. My God, help me-"
A most painful scene ensued. A crowd
OF people surrounded Mr.. Kensil, and
neonIe struck him and Wrestled with
him. one man going so far as to thrust
a handkerchief into Mr.. Kensifs mouth
III order to gag him. Finally the con-
gregation rescued the crucifix and the
police entered the church and arrested
Mr.. Kensil.

JEFFRIEs AND sHARKEY.
Would Rather Fight With Their
Tongues Than Their Fists.

San Francisco. Cal. April 9.--There is
little probability of Jeffries and Shar-
key ever meeting in the ring in this
city. Neither man will concede a point
TO the other, and so the matter rests.
as far as local promoters are concerned.
Both Jeffries and Sharkey have been
cut of the city for som,stime. but they
returned last evening, and their man
ayers came together. but could not
come to terms. Jeffries' manager, Billy
Delaney, would not agree to decide
which of two clubs, the Olmpic and
National, should get the contest by the
flip of a coin, demanding that the
Olympic be given the preference, but
he would agree to any eastern referee
that the sailor might name.
Sharkey now states that he Will meet
either Rubin or Maher in a 20-rOund
contest for a purse, and a large side
