THE CZAR'S COMING
Gives Rise to Much Speculation in
French Political Circles.

New York, Aug. PA Berlin dis
patch to the Herald quotes a high Ger
man official as follows:
When the French government heard
rumors of a possible meeting of the
kaiser and the czar, it made every pos
sible effort to induce the czar to come
also to France.
There is no doubt that the accept
ance of President Loubet's invitation
by the czar is a great success for the
Waldeck- Rousseau cabinet, which IS
now identical with the republic. We
don't think that the czars visit is in
any way directed against Germany. If
it is directed against anything, it is,
first and foremost, against the oppon-
ents of the Waldeck- Rousseau cabinet
and the adversaries of the republic
However, it is not impossible that
the Chauvinist elements, in order to
hide their defeat from the French peo-
pie, viii try to draw the czar into some
anti-German or perhaps anti-Englisn
demonstration.
But" he added with sharp empha-
sis las far as Germany is concerned,
we are persuaded that the czar will
never let himself be drawn into an
anti-German manifestation.

PEOPLE EXCITED.
Threaten to Destroy the Filthy
City Dump.
Guard Appointed to Watch the
Nuisance.

There is such violent opposition
among the people of Oakland and
vicinity to the proposed re-establish-
ment of the city dump that City Physi-
clan Judd has appointed William Cole
to stay at the dump at night to protect
it from the assault of enraged citizens.
Cole has been sworn in as a deputy
sheriff
Threats are being freely made among
the people living near the dump that
it will never be used by the city. They
say they win burn it to the ground be-
fore they permit the city to pollute the
atmosphere of that community.
The old dumping apparatus was in
such bad shape II@at it will likely be
Tuesday before any dumping can be
done with it. The dun ping bucket viii
carry about ten barrels at q, load. It
takes long time to run the bucket
out on the wire and drag it back
again. 1t is all done by hand
Councilman Griley said today: Some
of the Second ward people have been
inclined to blame me for not fighting
the location of the dump where it is to
be. I was opposed to this move from
the first, and fought it. But / found
that the majority of the council was in
favor of it, and would pass it anyway.
so went personally to every member
of the council and secured promises to
have the thing moved as soon as the
present rush is over with. People out
in the vicinity of the dump are very
much excited, and I do not believe
they will allow the city to dump it's
refuse there"
Councilman Nichols has a proposition
from two we'll known and wealthy
business men Of Topeka to ablish a
cren atory. The proposition will be
presented at the next meeting of the
council.
''The men who are back of this prop
osition." said Mr.. Nichols, "have good
financial standing They propose to
build a plant which will work; which
will always give satisfaction. They will
give a surety bond for the faithful per-
formance Of their contract. They
agree to burn everything, and put
nothing into the river except the
liquids. All they ask is that they be
given a franchise for some years, so
that they will not be made the victim
of political juggling by a board of
health like the present one. They can
not afford to risk being interfered
with if they invest the amount Of
money they wish to invest"

GOING HOME TO DIE.
Brigham Young's First Wife Return
ing to Salt Lake.

Helena, Mont. Aug. 24.-Mrs. Zina
Young, first wife of the late Mormon
apostle, Brigham Young, passed
through Helena en- route to Salt Lake
City. Mrs. Young is in a, dying condi-
ton from a stroke of paralysis, and it
is doubtful if she will be able to reach
Salt Lake City alive. She was stricken
yesterday at the home of her daugh-
ter, near the Canadian border, and her
last request before losing consciousness
was that she be taken to her old home
to die. She is nearly so years of age,
and for more than so years has been
prominent in the Mormon church, until
recently being the head of the Mormon
relief committee.
