81 have looked up the law relating to
the closing of saloons on Sunday" said
Sheriff Howells last night. There is a
statute concerning such cases, and If
the people will make known to me their
wishes and give me their assistance, /
will see that the law is enforced. l do
not propose to make war upon the
saloonmen- All L want is proof that
evils of this kind exist, and / fwill do
my duty. Let the people make COM
plants and assist in securing enough
evidence to convict and l will make the
arrests
There is considerable friction between
the county constabulary and the police
department. The sheriff is hot because
he believes the police are trying TO cast
reflections on his Office for conditions
for which he claims he is not respon-
sible.
Chief Hilton, on the other hand, ar
CUES that it is not the sheriffs business
to interfere with municipal affairs. If
he has an attack of Sunday-closing fe-
yer, Chief Hilton thinks Howells should
begin on the saloons in Murray, Bing-
ham and other places in the county, and
let the police department take care of
salt Lake.
Office Not a kindergarten.
MY Office has always been consid-
tTeQ d sort Oh a klnQerSaTten, SalQ the
sheriff, when his attention was called
to this remark. but l want to say right
here that l may not be as big a man as
the chief, physically. but officially my
office is over his. He is supposed to
enforce the ordinances of the city. en-
acted by the city council, while it is
my duty to enforce the laws made by
the legislature of the state.
Il think Chief Hilton would perform
noble duty if he would make a clear
Ing up among some of the cheap lodging
houses, where young girls are enticed
for immoral purposes. If he will send
his men out into these places he can
find vices that have been allowed 10
go unchecked
Referring to the report published in a
morning paper of alleged trouble in a
saloon between one cf his deputies,
John McDuff, and Angus NJ. Cannon, jr.,
the sheriff said he had investigated the
matter and got at the facts. He denies
that Deputy McDuff was intoxicated
at the time. He further stated that if
proof was ever given him that any dep
uty was found to be under the influence
of liquor while on duty, he would con-
slider it sufficient ground for immediate
discharge
1t is only in cases where the police
fail to act and where complaints are
made to the sheriff that he proposes to
act within the city.

Sheriff John R. Howells has some very
decided views about the enforcement of
the laws of the land. The sheriff ism
a bit backward about expressing his
opinions, either. Especially does he
come out strong on the Sunday closing
question, more particularly the closing
of saloons.
The official does not say that he will,
of his own volition, inaugurate a cru
SADIE against the saloonkeeperS of the
city for selling liquor on Sunday, but he
declares that he holds himself in read
mess to institute proceedings whenever
any citizen gets ready to swear out a
complaint.

 The fact that MT. Jesse D. Grant. son of the illustrious General U. s. Grant. has decided to locate penna- nently in NOgales, will be gratifying news to the gentleman's many intends in Arizona and particularly in Nogales Every city and town in America would be pleased to obtain Jesse Grant as a citizen, and we cannot help but rejoice that he now claims Nogales his home. When 1t is known that he cast his first ballot here and is a member of the To- cal Knights of Pythias, which order he joined years ago; also that he has big mining interests in Sonora, there is lit tie wonder that he has decided to cast lis lot with us for better or worse. Jesse Grant like his honored father, is possessed of all the sterling qualities which make men respected by their fellows. Being affable and courteous to all, he quickly makes friends where ever he goes, and it IS safe to say that no individual in the United States can lay claim to more personal friends than Jesse Grant. Politically he is for free silvef-f1rst, last and all the ttme- He believes in the free coinage of sfl- yer. therefore he will work with might and main for the great boon that means so mnuch for the territory in which he has cast his lot.

l Tuesday morning before Mrs. McKin- ney finished her revelation to Special | Officers Pastre and Mcfarland. She stated that her husband began 9 ca reer of crime in 1874 At thnt time i they were living in New York, and she alleges that Mckinney determined to rob a country house 9 short distance
 IT'D the Hudson river She says that in attempting to secure his pIunder he
 was discovered and obliged to murder the owner Cf the house.
 After this crime. the woman states that her husband made other success ful raids and finally was fortunate enough tc secure more than 5000 in salable securities and cash from tn ,
 residence Cf John Wendell of New York. After waiting for some time
 the woman alleges that her husband
 sold a quantity Of bonds and deter
 mined to return to Ireland, where he
 was born. She made the trip with
 bim, and states that with the proceeds
 of the stolen bonds they purchased a
 farm in County Antrim. where they
 lived until early last sumner. Then,
 becoming tired Of life in Ireland, the farm was sold and Mckinney returned
 to the United States. He landed in New York, but came at once to Phila- deHphia, where he purchased the house
 where they have been living and at once became a popular resident of the neighborhOCd.
 In accordance with the woman'5 5 h. formation Officer Pastre searched the house. after arresting Mckinney. He found quantity of United States. bank and IaiIrcad bonds, al negoti able. In a drawer under a pile Of clothing was found S1,150 in cash, and in other parts of the house were found letters bearing the name of John G. Wendell Another letter found was from Thomas & Son, auctiOneeTS, tell ing Mckinney to call md receive ST. 400 which they had on deposit for him as the result of the saie yesterday Of government bond. Mrs. Mckinney stated that the money found was the result of a sale of a similar bond for s1 900. which was disposed of three weeks ago for $1,500.
 Detectives are now at work running down all the clues furnished by the angry wife, and the results promise to furnish many sensations The New York police have been notified of the woman's story, and a strict lnyestlga- ton will be made into her allegations of murder and rotDeries in the Elm pire state.
 Now that she has made her confes- sion, Mrs. Mckinney seems overcome by the thought of the danger in which she has placed her husband, but she does not retract one word. Mckinney had a hearing Tuesday afternoon be- fore Magistrate Jermon charged with cruelty to his wife On this charge he was held in $500 bail for Q further hearing. Mrs. Mckinney testified that her husband had threatened to cut her heart out, and told her he had killed a man in New York. These charges are being investigated by the police Philadelphia Bullsain.

By wCman's accusajicn the police ot this city have made an arrest which 23S put them upon the track Cf an amazing series of alleged crimes Which duplicate q man whose neigh Dors have believed him wealthy and reputable. More thrilling than de- tective romance is the story beginning with a murder in 1874 and. extending down to a transaction completed only Monday by a local auctioneer. Thcu- sands of dollars worth of bonds be- lleved to have been stolen have been recovered and evidence found of the sale of many other valuable securities.

IT IS EXPENSIVE
An Overlooked Hero Who Was nonin-
 Iey's Messenger.

These are the times of hero worship
 of banquets to noted men, of public re-
 captions and popular outpourings n
 honor of these who took part in the
 war and distinguished themselves by
 great deeds. Ninety-nine people out
 of a hundred honestly believe all these
 demonstra tions are really gratifying
 to the men so honored. How many
 ever stop to think that however grati-
 flying the spirit which prompts these
 demonstrations may be to the person over whom all this enthusiasm is ex- pended. the actual discomforts of com
 pensating for the pleasure Of being a popular idol?
 Admiral Schley furnishes a case in point. He is naturally a quiet, modest man, with a whole cargo of reserve en- ergy. but with very little of the bun combe spirit in his nature which de lights in the vanities of the world. Nat ural.y enough, all the ccurtesies shown him are gratifying to him. It is bound to gratify a man to see his life career crowned with the success which comes from improved opportunities. But ever since that memorable fight off Santiago Schley has had to endure the inconvenience of being a popular hero Hundreds of invitations have poured in upon him to attend banquets, to address colleges and to exhibit him. self at county fairs. Many of these invitations have come from San Fran cisco and Pacific coast points. Nu merous requests fer his presence have been by telegraph. To each and every request the admiral has sent a re- spectful answer, either accepting or declining the invitation.
 Now. the average committee of ar entrusted with the duty of extending an invitations to a pubic man never adds to the bottom of it's invitation: Answer paid" So noth- ing remains but for the invited guest to pay the answer himself
 There is no Dretense here that Schley is an exception to the rule, that he is the only one so honored and SD afflicted. He is but one of dozen, CT of a hundred, public men who are in demand today because of some noted achievement in public life. I happen to knew a number who. draw ing reduced pay while on waiting or ders. are caled upon daily to make sac Tl1cSS III answering nun0r6US or l6t- ters and dozens of telegrams from en- thusiastic admirers who never inc.ose 8 stamp for reply or prepay the an. Swer to their messages. 1 know it to be true of Schley as one of these. It is true of Admiral Dewey as we'll. have sent long cable messages to Manila asking him to attend banquets. without prepaying their messages. Yet even if Dewey avails himself of government cable rates, he is expected to pay S1.57 word, including address and signature, for every answer he files in declining the various invitations sent him. A ten word message at this rate costs S15.70
 To how many people does it ever oc- eur that in this light it costs some hing to be here?

 Rowan, who is the embodiment of the
 type of the modern soldier who does
 his duty regardless of reward, was the
 man selected by the president to carry to Garcia. somewhere in the faStnesses
 cf the Cuban mountains, no one knew
 where, the official communication Cf
 the United States government detail- ing the plan Of cooperation between
 the American and insurgent troops. It
 was one of the most desperate enter prises of the war. Rowan had to make his way to the Cuban shore in
 an open boat, pass the Spanish lines, establish communication with the in surgents, find Garcia in the trackless jurgles and inhospitable hills. and af-
 ter communicating with him make his
 way out again at the ether end of the island with the plans and maps of the proposed campaign.
 Afterwards, in going over the same route, he was told by Spanish officers that they had instructions to look out for him and take him prisoner Had | he been captured his fate would have been death. the penalty of the spy
 Rowan's great work was in danger of passing into fcrgetfulness. Only the war department and the president were able to place the right estimate on his achievement. Only for Ebert Hubbard, writer in Aurora, N. Y.- who docs not even know Rowan Rowan's name would have perhaps Gerished in the recollection of the pub lie. It was Hubbard's little essay in the Phillistine entitled "A Message to Garcia" which, by it's literary excel fence, masterpiece of contemporary literature f01 monument in bronze. It was inc right estimate placed upon Rovran,s expedition, and upon the literary yal11e ot Hubbard's essay, by George H. Dan lels, the enterprising passenger agent or tne New York Central railroad, in publishing it in pamphlet form and circulating 1t free to 100000 readers, which gives Rowan that claim to pop uiar favor which the world would but Tor these men have denied him.
 l have talked to officers of the Nine teenth regiment about Rowan, and their enthusiastic praise Of him, as man and an officer, bears out what is thought of him at the war department. But best of all, one must meet him personally and be in his company to appreciate the stuff that heroes are made of. The Atchison people have had this privilege and will indorse the hlgn value which those who know him set on his character and personal qual- ities.
 If Rowan's recognition has come somewhat late, his reward is commen- surate with his heroic sacrifice, for he IS now more than 2 newspaper hero. and the public is realizing the strength or ms action. He, mere than any of his friends, realizes that in escaping pubic notice for a while he has escaped paving the penalty of being a public ldcI- He has net been banqueted. Wlned and dined and toasted to q fin lsh, and he has not had to draw on his p|lFate resources to pay for re-l1rn messages and for keeping up a small correspondence bureau.

OBSERVANCE OF HOLIDAYS.

Its a fine day; let us go out and kill somethingl" Thus the satirist s traditional Englishman His American cousin is less bloodthirsty-perhaps because of fewer opportunities of in- du.ging that passion-but scarcely more rational. -'It is a holiday" he says; let us devote ourselves to sports It does not matter what the occasion is. All holidays look alike to him. Whether it be a day of rejoic- ings CT one of solemn and pathetic memories, his attitude toward it is the same. The meaning Of the day is nothing. The all important thing is that it is dies non in business Houp- Ia. The races CT the ball game!
 Attention is called to this state of affairs by the Grand Army of the Re public which, or a part of which, has made formal protest against making Memorial day a time of revelry. Ger tainly the protest seems well founded. It is incongruous to devote to merry making a day expressly set apart for plOus tributes to the dead It is like the proverbial c.oWn turning a hand spring on his mothers grave What could be more paradCXical than the spectacle of city or a land with flags at half-mast' everywhere in sign of mourning, and yet with all the people giving themselves up to merry mak- ing! Yet that is precisely the spec tacIe presented by this city and by this country on May 30th of every year The result is that about 99 per cent of the people have come to ignore inc purport of the day. The same may be said of Thanksgiving day.-New York ribune.
