WOULD WEAR HAYHARD'S SHOES
NEBRASKANS WHO WANT TO
GO To THE SENATE.
The Most Prominent Candidates Are
Editor Hitchcock and Former
Senator Alden.

Omaha, Dec. 6.-Ever since the late
Senator Hayward was taken sick and
it was known that the chances were
against his recovery. there his Lcen
considerable talk as to whom Governor
POynter would appoint to the vacancy.
The only ones prominently mentioned
are ex-senator Allen and G. NJ. Hitch
cock, editor of the Omaha World
Herald.
The Democrats are urging the ap-
pointment of the latter on the ground
that they have not received their pro-
portion of the offices under the fusion
deals of the past few years. They also
urge that the next legislature. which
must permanently fill the vacancy, will
have two senators to select. the Hay
ward successor and one TO succeed Sem
ator Thurston. whose term expires one
year from next March.
The Populists insist upon the naming
of ex-senator Allen. Ii was reported
that Allen had stated that he did not
desire the appointment, but a telegram
from him denies this. The PoDulist
members of congress from Nebraska
have telegraphed Governor Poynter
urging Mr.. Aliens appointment, and
this has been supplemented by tele-
grams from the Popuiist and free sill
yer senators from other states and some
of the congressman. Governor Poynter
refuses to publicly, at least. discuss the
matter until after the funeral of Sen
ator Hayward.
The funeral OF the late senator will
be held al Nebraska City tomorrow af-
ternoon.

ORDERED.
Secretary of State Board of Health
Receives Petition From Mt. Pleas
ant Protesting Against Action of
Local Health Officials In Keeping
Diseased Patient In Town.

DR.. T. B. Beatty, secretary of the
state board of health, will take imme-
diate and energetic action in the small
pox cases which are supposed TO have
developed al Richfield and Spanish
Fork. He will leave this morning for
the latter city in order to make thor
ough examination. In the meantime he
has ordered a hotel in Spanish Fork
TO be quarantined and he may have the
whole city under quarantine.
He received a telegram yesterday
from DR.. Robson, the county health
officer and DR.. Slater of Spanish Fork,
saying that there was an undoubted
case of smallpox in a member of the
Lindsay Dramatic troupe, which had
been in town for some days He at once
wired back ordering the hotel at which
the troupe had been staying to be quar-
antined and the house to which he had
been removed.
Il will leave in the morning. said
DR.. Beatty last night, land will make
thorough investigation. l am in
formed that the patient, while remain
ing at the Spanish Fork hotel, had
passed through the stage of incubation
and that is the time when it is con-
tagious Every person who was at the
hotel during the period will be traced
and wherever they are found they will
be quarantined. l have been told that
several commercial travellers were in
Spanish Fork at the time. If so 1 shall
try to find them.
But 1 cannot say what will be done
in detail until / am on the ground
From Richfield in Sewer county, forty
miles away from Sterling, where there
are fifteen cases, has come a vigorous
petition signed by fifty-three quite
prominent citizens, directed to the
board of health. They ask that action
be taken at once by the state board of
health. Heber Clayton of Richfield has
been confined for some time and it is
now known that the case has devel
oped. The petition recites that he is
kept in the center of the town, that due
precaution has not been taken by the
local health officers and they want an
immediate investigation.
DR.. Beatty will wire to the county
physician before taking action. He is
unable to go there today on account of
his Spanish Fork case, but he may go
on FRIDAY

.SNOWDEN WILL Be TRIED
JUDGE NORRELL OVERRULES
MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE.
Attachment Issued For Miss Keeler,
the Principal Witness On the
Side of the Prosecution.

Judge Norrell decided yesterday that
Cornelius r. Snowden, the Richfield
dentist, must answer to the charge of
adultery in the Third district court on
Monday.
When the court took his seat yester-
day morning he overruled the motion
to quash the information for want of
jurisdiction of Justice of the Peace
Kroeger, which had been argued and
submitted on Tuesday by the defend
ants counsel; the court further author
lied the issuance of an attachment for
Miss Audrey Keeler. the woman in the
case. who is said to be in too delicate
a state of health to be present at the
trial.
In answer to question from Attor-
ney Potter for the defense, Judge Nor
rell stated that he could not instruct
Sheriff John W. Coons how to pro-
coed. but he relied upon him to use
his discretion in the matter of the alb
sent important witness.
The attachment was accordingly
placed in the hands of the sheriff of
Sewer county with instructions to re-
turn it on the morning of the 18th inst

Much interest is being manifested by
lovers of art in the exhibition which is
in progress under the auspices of the
Utah Art institute. 1t is a fine collec-
ton of pictures. and those who are in
touch with art matters manifest their
appreciation by their attendance.
Crowds filled the big hall yesterday. and
they were made up largely of people
who are good judges of the right and
wrong of artistic matters. The pic
lures from the east created many COM
ments as to their beauty, but it is
pleasing compliment to the Utah artists
that their work was spoken of almost
as highly. Some of the best art critics
say that they compare very favorably
with the work of the eastern men, who
are artists known the world over.
All of the local. artists have paintings
on exhibition, and they are all the
best studies that they have made.

SCHOOL TEACHER
Pulled Down Hill.

Il relied on coffee so much to keep me
up. having been told that it was a mild
stimulant,' that 1 hardly knew what to
do when | found il was really pulling
me down hill. My sleep was badly
broken at night and was all unstrung.
Am a school teacher and was exceed
ingly nervous.
When il became evident that | was
in a very bad condition, was induced
TO leave off coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee. Mother made it first, but none
of US could endure ii, it was so fiat and
tasteiess. She proposed to throw the
package away, but / said. Suspend
judgment until we have made it strict
ly according to directions. 1t seems
she had made the Postum like she al
ways made coffee, taking il off the
stove as soon as it began to boil.
Mother was so prejudiced against it
that she did not care to try it again.
but / got sister to make the Postum
next morning strictly according to di-
rections, that is, allow it TO boil full
fifteen minutes after the boiling be-
gins.
I'VE were all amazed at the differ
ence. Sister said it was better coffee
TO her taste, than the old, and father
who is an elderly gentleman and had
used coffee all his life, appeared TO rel
ish the Postum as we'll as my little
brother who took TO it from the first.
For a while mother chung to her old
favorite. although she was sick more or
less of the time. Finally, one morning,
she drank cup of Postum by mistake
believing ii 10 be coffee. We joked her
so much about ii, because she did not
discover the difference, that she finally
admitted she had occasionally taken a
sip of the Postum Coffee, and from that
time she proposed to use it altogether
Her health has been very greatly i'm

The saltpetre man of the first half of
the seventeenth century was hated even
more, If that be possible. than the win
dow peeper of those more recent days
when light was subject to heavy taxa

from abroad as an important ingredient
in the manufacture of gunpowder 1t was

known as saltpetre men. were sent all
over the country to seek for il in stables,
pigeon cotes pigsties and indeed in al
most all other places the soil of which
was supposed to be impregnated with an
imal matter. The injury these men did
and the irritation they caused by digging
up floors and pulling down fences was
great; no householder was free from
their visits, which were rendered es-
pecially odious from their being empow-
cred 10 impress carts and horses for the
purpose OF carrying away the mineral
and the utensils employed in its manu-
facture.
This CALLING domestic tyranny-though.
of course, not to be compared with things
of far greater moment-was no doubt one
of the factors in the national irritation
which made the civil war possible. The
monopoly was put an end to by parlia-
ment in 1856.

pretty, and a portrait study of himself

The most admired picture of them all
is 1.-The Silent Partner" by Abbott

scene of the death of a monkey, while
