Gus, and the story In word or two is
this:
Il had never been to Europe before
and wasn't posted as to the best way
to carry money, so ON the advice of a
friend who ought to have had more
sense l got an old fashioned letter of
credit In New York-one of those IDIOT
ic arrangements that have a photo
graph of the holder pasted In little
circle at the top of the page. When
procured the letter, l was wearing a
full beard, which l am told changes
me very materially, but while staying
In London I got tired of 1t, and one
day on a sudden impulse had 1t taken
Off, never thinking of that confcunded
letter of credit.
II had no occasion to use the docu-
ment until arrived In Paris and when

turned down hard. The teller, or who.
ever he was, told me he couldn't think
OF paying money to man who bore
no resemblance whatever to the off,
cial photo and when I explained the
situation shrugged his shoulders and
advised me to come back after grew
another beard. Going out, CHANGED
to notice a costumer's shop and was

A Good Bill,

Representative McAllister has intro
duced in the house and the committee
has favorably reported on bill re-
curing that all trustees sales of real
estate be published in some newspaper
three times, and that all sales of per-
sonal property, where the same is over
500, shall be advertised. This is one
of the best bills that has ever been
introduced in the house this session.
1t is not in the interest of the papers,
but in the interest of the debtor class.
AS it is now, there are large number
of pieces of property and other per-
sonal property which are sold for
almost nothing, the party having the
mortgage being present and buying 1t
in. If these sales are published In a
newspaper it will not be so easy to
have them knocked down for almost
nothing. Parties seeing the notices in
the papers will be present to bid on the
property, and the poor people who are
being sold out under the hammer will
be given the benefit of competition.
There is such law in other States, and
it works we'll. Representative Meal
lister is satisfied that the m easure will
pass the house, and there seems to be
no doubt but that it will pass the SEN
ate. The members of the Legislature
cannot afford to vote against it. 1t is
a meritorious measure, and the News
hopes to see it become law. 1t will
likely come up in the house on Thurs
day."-Jdckson Neics.

Bright's disease is more dreaded by
physicians than any of the serious dis

because of its insidious and malignant

Because they are not worth much

their school course to get occasionally

throughout this section are jubilant
over the outlook for their ticket this
fail. They are more than satisfied with
the men who have been selected by
their representatives for the different
offices. The state ticket, just complet-
ed. the judicial ticket. nominated last
Thursday in Salt Lake. and the county
ticket, all give the best of satisfaction.
and the party leaders and the rank and
file are all in high spirits over the out
look and are arranging to get down to
hard campaign work.
Besides this, in this district and
county at least. the fractional fights in
the ranks of the enemy are sources of
joy to the Democrats. The ticket in
Sanpete which the Republicans have
put UP is acknowledged by some of
the strongest members of that party to
be as weak a ticket as was ever put in
the field, while among the members of
the party who have no occasion for
hiding their opinions in the matter, ex-
pressions are frequently heard. and
that in no uncertain tones, of how lit
tie the ticket is looked up to- So take
it all around Democrats feel that thew
have ample room for rejoicing.

PLANS FOR COMING CAMPAIGN
DISCUSSED.

by re-electing Joseph NJ. Cohen sec

Gratis We're discussed in connection with
Doth committees. This matter will be
taken up by Judge Burton in a day
or Two when he has become more
familiar with the situation.
The committee convened at head
quarters at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
and spent most of the afternoon in
discussing the plans of campaign. The
subcommittee that had been appointed
to select a chairman reported that If
had unanimously agreed upon Judge
Burton. but that he had not agreed to
accept The committee was then
authorized to call upon the Judge and
get his decision in the matter. He
asked until 1880 in the evening to
consider the matter and when this was
reported to the full committee an adj
iournment was taken until the even
ing.
At the evening meeting Judge Bur

that Judge King, being a candidate
ana expecting to be on the stump all
the time. the law business of the firm
would be entirely sacrificed if he too
were to give up all of his time to the
campaign. But all of his objections
were finally OVerruled and the Judge
was pressed into the service.
As to the plans for the campaign
nothing would be given out further
than that there would be no formal
opening The candidates nominated
intend to get out on the stump just. as
soon as they can arrange their affairs.
