REcaRpER cHEATHAs as AtEApER.

One of the very best and purest
men in public life today is Henry
Plummer Cheatham, our Recorder of
Deeds. He is q man of ability, high
character, and is a real leader, called
to the premiership by though ghttul and
iudicious constituency. North Caro-
lima made no mistake when she sent
him to represent her in the National
Congress, and President Mckinley
showed the broadest wisdom in tender
ing him the position of Recorder OF
Deeds. This office. which has been
capably administered by such race
giants a. Frederick Douglass, Blanche
K. Bruce and James c. Matthews, has
suffered no depreciation by his system
of management. On the contrary, he
has made many improvements, both in
methods and personnel, and it is not
too much to say that the Office was
never before In such excellent COndi-
ton as the year OF our Lord 1900 finds
it. During Mr. Cheatham's incum,
bency, the bOok-typewTiter has been
successfully introduced, with the result
that the records are more legible. more
durable and occupy less space than was
the case when ''long hand" was used
altogether. He has given employment

out his patronage. here and there, that

charge him with having "Negro-izsd"

W. c. Weant May Have Case of
Smallpox


w. c. Weant. a miner, who halls from
Missouri, applied at the city Jail Sunday
night for lodging, and yesterday morning
ne was found to be quite ill. When given
d bed in the jail Sunday night the man
was apparently il good health. Yester-
day morning, when Jailer Kimball en-
tered the mans cell, he found him in
great agony and with a high fever.
tn sick man was taken into the sta
ton and the jailer examined him, but
cd not tell what was the matter 1t
was suggested that il was smallpox, and
the idea seemed TO gain ground. This
caused considerable stir in the depart
ment, and Dr.. King was given a hurry
up call. The sick lOdger was Immediately
gwen a wide berth and those who had
been in contact with him began to feel
ever. he quieted their fears by announc-
ing that the patients symptoms were
those of typhoid fever.
He, however, has been working in a
railroad camp in Idaho, and that fact
gave weight to the idea that he might
be developing a case of smallpox. The
city smallpox physician attended the pa
tent with DR. King and they decided tc
send the patient to the detention hospital
and he was Immediately taken there.
The attendant at the hospital said last
night that the physician had not yet been
| able to tell the exact nature of the pa
tents disease. The man came to the po-
lice station Sunday night pennileSS and
said he was on his way TO Mercur. where
he expected to get work. He said he had
a friend in MercUr. but telephone mes
saga failed TO locate him.

events. resulted in another financial
failure. The fault was not with Major
Stanton and his aides who had worked

even up the losses of last week. While
the show was worth the price of a tick

The re-enactin- of the scene of

probably as much as the veterans could
afford.
The afternoon attendance was small,

HAS BADLY BROKEN LEG.
Tooele County Man Meets With Mis-

the victim Of bad runaway yesterday,
as a result of which he is at the Holy
Cross hospital with a compound frac-
ture of the right leg. a badly fractured
ankle and minus a purse containing $40,
lost somewhere on the road.
At the time of the accident Mr.. Har-
rison was driving into the city. When
near the Spencer place at Lake Point
his team became frightened and ran
away. In some way his leg got caught
in the wheel and the right leg was
broken between the knee and the an
kle. and when Mr.. Harrison was found
in the road the bones We're DrOtrudlns
through the flesh and the skin. The
right ankle was also found TO be
fractured The injured man was
brought to the city and taken to the
Holy Cross. where DR.. c. F. Wilcox at
tended to his injuries.
To add to his troubles. Mr. Harrison
discovered after he reached the hos
pital that he had lost his purse con-
tanning $3.50 in cash and a draft for
$3.50. He is of the opinion that he lost
this after he reached the city, and
would be very grateful for its return
to him.
