stuff has been in good demand, and the
good to best has sold fully steady. Thin
and common cows have sold quickly and
at stronger prices. Veal calves are steady.
Best quality mixers and springers are

HOGS-The hog market opened today
strong to a shade higher, but closed weak

any Improvement.
SHEEP-The sheep and lamb market is
holding steady at the decline, with good
mutton selling at $40 to $3.50; good
butcher lambs, $4.25 to $40; breeding

New York, July 20.-The Herald says:

Inc new alliance assumes unusual in

EanueroiltS are represented on the board

tors have hurriedly considered the advis-
ability of extending their Fremont branch

DESPERATE MORPHINE FIEHD
JEWETT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE AT
CITY JAIL.
Tried to Hang Himself With a Shoe
String-Ravsd Piteously Until
Drug Was Given Him.

F. b. Jewett, the morphine fiend who
is doing twenty-five days for assault
ing Joseph Ravage with pocket knife,
tried to hang himself in the city jail
last evening in a most ingenious man
ner. The mans cries disturbed police
court during the afternoon, and Jailer
Kimball furnished him some morphine,
which was soon exhausted and his
craving renewed. The jaiIer had left
the station early and the officers We're
undecided whether or not the drug
should be furnished. He begged pit
eously of everybody, and was almost
insane by o'clock. Some of the pris-
oners at about this hour discovered
that he was trying TO kill himself by
tying a shoe lace to the bars and fas-
tening it in a slip knot about mis-
throat, then pulling back. They tore
the lace from him and called for help.
Detective Sheets finally bought some
morphine, and the showers of bless
ings and expressions of gratitude out
poured by the unfortunate would have
brought tears to the eyes of the most
hardened man.
Jewett's is probably the worst case
that has been in the city Jail, which is
saying great deal. He eats the drug
in preference to using a needle.

ing the resignation of Secretary of
War Alger, says:
President McKinley's prompt ac-
ceptance of Secretary Ayers reslgna-
ton is equivalent 10 an admission that
the department has been badly man
aged. It is significant that the resigna-
ton followed so quickly on the Manila
correspondents round-robin-
..Algerism is the blot on the Mckin-
ley administration. 1t has given the
enemies of the imperialist policy the
most effective weapon that could have
been forged, and President Mckinley
can wrest 1t from them only by the
appointment OF a. successor whose past
commands confidence.
The Times describes the resignation
as g decided victory for public opinion
and public morals over political organ
izations." 1t says:
IN resigning, Secretary Alger has
practically allowed judgment to go
against him by default, and has re-
iieved the Mckinley administration
from a responsibility that was assum-
ing serious proportions. 1t is the first
and most essential step toward the
Qualification of the Republican party,
and. indeed of the whole political 'sys-
tenn of the United States.
ut is for the citizens of the United
states to take care that the removal of
a superficial symptom does not divert
their attention from the root of the
mischief"
The Daily News has a similar editor
ial 1t says: He might have dened
public opinion to the last, but McKin-
ley means to stand for a. second term,
and had to be on his good behavior with
The electorate"
The papers generally regard the res
ignation as a prelude to a vigorous pol
icy in the Philippines, and the recall of
General Otis.

LOOKS LIKE A SETTLEMENT.
Mr.. Chamberlain Appears to Have
Faith In President Kruger.

London, July 20.-Replying to ques-
ton in the house of commons today re-
garding the relations between Great
Britain and the South African republic,
the secretary of state for the colonies,
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, said that the
notifications made in the franchise
law of the Transvaal led the govern
ment to hope that the new law may
prove the basis of a settlement upon the
lines laid down by Sir Alfred Miner,
the British high commissioner of South
Africa. The government, however, Mr.
Chamberlain added, observed that the
volksraad has still retained a number
of conditions that might be interpreted
so as TO take with one hand what was
given by the other
It would also be easy by subsequent
legislation to alter the whole charac-
ter of the session. but, Mr. Chamber
lain added, the government feels as
sured that President Kruger, having
accepted the principle for which the
British government has coTtended, is
well prepared to reconsider any details
of his scheme which might possibly
hinder the full accomplishment of the
object in view, and that he will not
allow il to be nullified or reduced in
value by subsequent alterations of the
law or any act of the administration.

GEDDES FAILED TO APPEAR
ACCUSER OF CoUNCILMEN Is
SHORT OF WITNESSES.
His Pipe Dream On Exchange of
Water With Farmers Dissipated
By Subsequent Developments.

Last evening was the time set for the
special committee of the city council
to hear what little real merit there is
in certain accusations made. several
weeks ago by Archibald Scroggie
Geddes against Councilmen Howe.
Weller and Margetts, but the accuseF
was not present, and the investigation
was continued until next Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock. City Engineer
Kelsey said that his man Friday was
down in Sanpete for the Tribune, but
he believed the accuser would face the
music if informed before hand when
the committee would meet.
II VIII be remembered that when
another special committee Of the COIN
ell had the engineer on the rack several
weeks ago, inquiring into his eXpendi-
lures for data pertaining to greater
water supply, Geddes let drop a remark
10 the effect that the farmers OF Mill
Greek and Big Cottonwood had re-
ceived a proposition from Councilmen
Howe. Weller and Margetts, offering,
on behalf of the municipality. TO ex-
change city canal water for % per cent
less of canyon water. That was not
all. The Tribune man, VINO was en-
pioye6 for a time by the engineer to
look into water rights, charged that
represented the farmers, complained
that the three councilmen had hired
cOnVeyances and had refused to pay
for their use.
OF course nobody believed there was
any truth in the accusations, DUt -
was incumbent on the council 10 in
vestigate. Shortly after Geddes had
related his pipe dream the two water
masters from the country voluntarily
put it down in black and white that
there was not one iota of truth in his
charges. This denial was as a blow in
the solar pleXus to Geddes, for he had
depended on the watermasters TO prove
his case.
Watermasters Lunn and Jensen were
on hand last evening to back up their
denial of having stated to Geddes the
matters he alleged. When City Engt-
neer Kelsey was asked by the accused
councilmen if he was prepared to go on
with the investigation, the engineer re-
piled: Why. this is nothing TO me-"
Councilmen Weller, Howe and Mar
gets thought differently, because the
engineer had previously said the re-
