VIII the Post have the nerve to
ask the Mormon people to vote for
a republican representative next
fall for congress, in the light of the
vote last Tuesday? According to
the Post, the Roberts business is a
fight on the church, and if so, the
vote, with one exception, of the
republicans was solidly against
Roberts and of course against the
church. While the people arc
making notes." if they happen to,
they might jot the above mentioned
vote down.

court, after finding that the demur
rer was properly overruled as to the
second and third grounds, says:
We now come to the only remain
ing question, and which is the seri-
Gus question in the case, to-wit:
The first ground of demurrer, that
the complaint does not state facts
sufficient to constitute a cause of
action. The complaint shows that
the four checks in question were de-
livered by the defendant to the
plaintiff at Challis, county of Gus
ter, on the 30th day of January,
1897; that G. Bunting & Co. did
banking business at Blackfoot in an
adjoining county; that stages run
from Challis to Blackfoot, where
C. Bunting & Co., the drawee, did
business; that on February 18, 1898,
the plaintiff demanded payment of
said checks of the defendant, which
payment the defendant refused to
make. We do not think that these
allegations were sufficient. The
law presumes that the defendant
had funds in the bank upon which
said checks were drawn with which
to pay them Section 3546 r. S.
is as follows: elf a bill of ex-
change, payable at sight or on de-
mand without interest, is not duly
presented for payment within 10
days after the time i'll which it could
with reasonable diligence be trans
mitted to the proper place for such
presentment, the drawer and in
dorser are exonerated, unless such
presentment is excused"
Under section 1891 r. S. the
drawer is exonerated by delay il
presentment only to the extent Of
the injury which he suffers thereby
But the complaint in this case does
not show that said checks were pre-
scented to c. Bunting & Co. at all
does not show any excuse for mo-
presenting said checks for paymen
prior to February Is, the date o.
the alleged bank failure. No fact
are alleged in the complaint show
ing that 10 days was not a reason
able time after deducting 10 day
therefrom within which to presen
said checks at the proper place TO
payment. The complaint showing
on its face that the plaintiff hat
! such checks for as long a period al
l6 days prior to the failure of TIN
, bank, and the law presuming tina
drawer had funds in said bank t,
satisfy said checks, the presumption

the extent of the face of said check
and to overcome such presumption
facts, if any exist, showing tina
plaintiff could not by REASONABLE
diligence have presented them prio
to the failure of the said bank

No such averments appear in tn
complaint, for which reason sal,
complaint was not sufficient and tn

A Wonderful Improvement.

Fit. Defiance, Nov. 21.-It was the
privilege of your correspondent
to view the new water works
at the Augusta Military Acad-
envy (whose football team is do
ing such excellent playing this sea-
son, and 1 was surprised at the ease
and efficiency with which the work is
done. The power is furnished by an
eight foot Dandy wheel on forty foot
tower, all of galvanized iron, and both
light and graceful. The bearings of the
wheel are go arranged in graphite
boxes that no oil Or grease is needed
for twenty years. The pump is a
double action siphon located immedi
ately under the town in cemented
pit and the water is drawn by this
pump from spring $50 feet away and
at the same time forced into reservoir
$50 feet off located on a hill 70 feet
above the level of the spring.
This reservoir holds $500 gallons
and supplies water to every room in
the academy and hydrants in the
yard. This is apparently the simplest
and easiest water worker I ever saw
and almost nOiseless. The work was
all planned and executed by our me-
chanical genius, T. A. Jordan, who
takes almost as much pride in the sue
cessful operation of the Dandy" wind
mill, when he puts it up, as he does in
the successful accomplishment of the
American Bi-metaliic policy, which
will work just as easy if we would
only let it.

An Address to Business Men.
Fort Defiance. Nov. 2;

Fort Defiance, Nov. %.
To the Business Men of Staunton
and Augusta C0unty:-In an article in
the Daily News OF the 21st, Mr.. N. G..
Watts exploits his grievances against
the Augusta County Telephone Asso-
citation and in order to prejudice
you against US, makes a good many
statements that cannot be verified.
When Mr.. Watts first organized his
city exchange be offered seven county
lines free service for four years, if they
| would connect with his switch board.
They accepted his offer and used his
switch board free" for two years, and
then voluntarily waived their contract,
joined the association and paid him
So per year per phone for service that
they could have had free, because they
said, WAITS cannot afford to do this
work for nothing
The Augusta County Asso citation is
made up of 80 lines that cover all prin.
cipal sections of Augusta county with
500 phones, and when Mr.. Watts says
she has given these people, ma jority
of them at least" free service fol
nearly four years, he means that
he gave seven lines free service fol
two years. This is not an important
error for Mr.. Watts to make, but it is
well for you to know the facts.
The association was organized TO,
mutual protection against imposition,
and since its organization Mr.. Watts
has been paid semi annually every
cent of bis switch board service in
a lump.
There is an effort made upoa bis
part to show that the service he sells
the county people is cheap, only one
cent per phone day,
