SCANDINAVIAN RALLY.
Large and Successful Meeting at St.
Marks School House.

a rousing rally was held at St
Marks school house last evening under
the auspices of the Scandinavian Dem
ocratic club. The attendance was large
the speeches had the right ring, good
music was furnished and at the close
all We're sfirner in the faith of Democ-
racy and more convinced of victory al
the polls than ever they were.
Councilman FernStrom was the first
speaker introduced by Chairman Hal
vorSon. He made ii clear to the aud
fence that the honest and careful man.
agement of the citys affairs by cap
able Democrats is what the taxpayers
will secure on election dav
Arthur T. Barnes made a splendid
impression upon the audience in show
ing the clean, economical administra-
ton of city affairs by the Democratic
officials, thus emitting them to urge the
election of the entire ticket next Tues
day.
City Recorder Backman referred to
the splendid record made by the DEM
ocratic county commissioners, and this,
with the city administration in the
hands Of the peoples representatives,
warranted ham in predicting sweep
ing victory for the whole ticket.
John y. Sorenson briefly showed why
the Democratic platform of principles
and practices should triumph over the
schemes of the Republican party, which
caters only 10 the rich and powerful.
Gould 3. Blakely spoke briefly on
the issues in the campaign.
Music was furnished by the Beilman
quartette. the Manila Guitar & Mando-
lin club and by Professor Z. II. John

MAGISTRATES ARE AFTER BLAIR
SAY THE CLERK HAS THE MAR
RYING HABIT.
Justices of the Peace Think Too
Many Marriage Fees Are Divert
ed From Their Proper Channel.

There is likely 10 be merry war be-
tween the Justices of the peace of the.
city and Deputy County Clerk George
Blair unless the deborah clerk re-
strains his propensitieS for marrying
people George has the marrying habit
bad. Every time he sees a young man
and a fnarrtageable damsel together her
has an Irresistible desire TO go UP to
them and ask them if they don't want
to get married George happens to be
an elder of the Mormon church and
hence he is competent 10 perform the
ceremony whenever and wherever he
wants to-provided. of course. that the
pair have a license And right here is
where the rub comes, for Mr.. Blair hap
pens TO be the purveyor of marriage Ii
cenSeS Tor the county of Salt Lake. So
he possesses unusual advantages for
the qualification of his master passion.
A.~likely looking pair comes drifting
into the court house in search of a IL
cense. and no sooner are their wants
satisfied than Mr., Blair asks suavely
if they do not want to get spsiced right
then and there. Naturally. having
made the first plunge and being anxious
to get the disagreeabie business over
as soon as possible and with the least
trouble. the pair yield. and in p trice
Mr.. Blair leads them into his private
office, and the deed is done with neat
ness and disDatch.
Now, the justices of the peace We're
wont. once upon a time, to get all OF
this business and an of the nice little
fees. OF late they have noticed a great
falling off in the revenues from this
source. At first they did not suspect
the real cause, but at last they had
pened to learn OF the bad habit that
George Blair had fallen into. Protests
of individuals proved unavailing. and
a council of war of three Of tire justices
was called. They talked the. matter
over and decided to talk to the county
commissioners and see if Mr. Blai-'s
poaching could not be stopped Yester-
day the three waited upon the commits
and in secret cOncIave the
question was debated What the result
of the meeting was could not be learn
ed. but formal announcement Will
doubtless be made soon.

The Person and Work of the Holy

passed Rev. ]. d. Mason. in discuss
ing the paper, said that the holy spirit
was destined to remain with JUS, and
Rev. Jayne, who followed. maintained
that the day of miracles was net passed
and cited cases OF healing.
s. Rev. W. III. Bagby then arose and de-
,nounced such things as Superstition. "
and said that miracles made him tired
Il stand here to affirm" he SAID, that
there has not been one authenticated
miracle since the days of the apostles.
l can't have much Christian patience
with these purported miracles put forth

is rampant" Mrs. Van SAINT, Rev.
Thompson and Dr.. McNiece followed
on the two sides of the question.
