serve Lent, but who indulge in as high
| living during Lent as at any other
time. One member told that the wo-
man she worked for claimed she was
abstaining from meat, but that she eats
/ a whole beefsteak at a meal. Other
| Cook Ladies charged that their mis-
stresses cleaned up the meat platfers
and left them none, and that they were
the real observers of the period OF
fasting. 1t was proposed, and agreed
upon to report these women's doings
to their preachers. Another complaint
was that the Cook Ladies had theil
wages cut during Lent, that the wo-
| men they worked for might increase
their Lenten church offerings.

TELLS HOW ALVOBD WAS CAUGHT
OFFICIAL EXPLAINS CHANCE
THAT LED TO LIGHT.
Reply to Statements of Comptroller
of Currency Seeking to Protect
That Office From Blame.

New York, Oct. 26.-In order to make
clear certain alleged misstatements, Vice
President Hine or the First National bank
today explained in detail some of the in
cidents leading up to the discovery of AL
words crime. In the first place, Mr. Hine
says. Alvcrd had worked steadily and
without suspicion until the afternoon OF
the 18th inst. By the merest chance a
cla-k saw him make certain erasures in
the clearing house sheet, and. while he
thought this unusual, said nothing about
it to anybody until shortly after o'clock.
BY that time Alvord had gone, but it was
expected that he would return, as he had
some work to finish
When Alvord failed to return the clerk
who had seen him make the erasures
made casual mention of the matter to As
Slstant Cashier BackuS- The latter, with
out suspecting that anything was wrong,
looked over AlVord's balance and soon
found several discrepancies. He was on
the point OF leaving matters for AlYord ;
adjustment when ne decided 10 make a
further examination, and soon found that
many items had been deliberately falsi-
fed
8y this time the suspicious Of the as
sistant cashier had been greatly aroused.
All the high officials OF the bank had gone
for the Gay, butt meeting number OF
clerks, Mr. Backus went hurriedly over
the note teller books, and in a few min
Utes had Overwhelming proof OF Alvord s
guilt

The Republican committee of Weber

developed yesterday that the Cache
county committee had also been guilty
of an abuse of the congressional frank

Babcock's name has been taken in vain.
That congressman had sent out TO Utah
great quantities of envelopes bearing
his name and containing parts of the
congressional record.
State Chairman Callister distributed
them among the county committees,
A case has already been made out
against the Weber Republicans and
now comes word from Cache that the
Hannaites up there are equally guilty.
They have been sending out copies of
the state and county ticket. Republican
literature in no way connected with
the congressional record and other
matters of a political nature contrary
to the law in such cases made and pro-
vided. The Democrats of Cache say
they have abundant evidence against
| the opposition committee.
1t is stated that the envelopes and
the unlawful matter have been sent to
practically every district in the county.
and to nearly every voter who 1t was

BETTING IN COLORADO.
Real Situation Over There Is Here
Presented.

The Tribune of yesterday contained a
clipping from the Denver Times. contain
ing an alleged lot of bets that the Re
publicans are making in Colorado. It
was stated that in Pueblo a wager of
s, 600 at 21a TO 1 was made that the Re
publican state ticket would be elected
Another story told of to l on the same
proposition An eastern travelling man
was declared to have offered a 5.00J
wager even that Mckinley would carry
the state, but no takers for the money
were found
,The real situation is contained in the
following from the Denver News The
Orman referred to is the Democratic
nominee for governor, while Goudy is the
Republican nominee. Arapahoe is the
count where Denver is located. and the
state usually goes with it. The News
'S2,OO0 to 500 Orman carries Arapahoe. -

$50 Bryan will have 5000 plurality in
800 Ornan viii have 1900 plurality"
$50 Bryan will carry Chicago or Cook
county"
$50 to s25 Bryan carries Kentucky
The principal betting now being done is
on the proposition that Orman viii carry
the state by 1000 and the county by 5000

though the books OF all the pool rooms
show bets like this:

undesirability of offending the South
ern Pacific.
With the Union Pacific as a competi-
tor, natural result would be for the
southern Pacific to divert the bulk of
It's san Francisco and northern Cali
fornia business to the Rio Grande
Western out of ogden and thus cut
the Union Pacific out of the long haul
TO the Missouri river. For this reason
the Vanderbilt line has worked diplo-
matically TO avoid any contact with
Huntington's interests, and the yvisest
have always predicted that the road
10 the coast would have to be built in
dependently.
In view of this it is fair to presume
that the turn things are said to have
taken is in favor of the w. A. clark
project. Assuming the new line to be
Independent OF the Union fIacific and
assuming further that Union Pacific
interests control the Southern Pacific.
there is reason to believe that an inter
change of traffic would exist between
the Union Pacific and Los Angeles &
Salt Lake The latter would he a
good feeder fer the Union Pacific be-
tween Ogden and Omaha, amply repay
ing the Nanderbilts for giving the Los
Angeles line its share of the traffic 10
the coast although the two viii be
rivals.

Should the Union Pacific try to give
