Pile injured by the naptha fire, while
the sheds on the fair grounds are filled

further reported that the nartha reser.
voirs had been previously filled with
water. which in OVERLOOKING carried
the flaming fluid over the town, in
volying all the houses as far as Police

Mormon Church Now Republican.

Boston Herald.
Nothing is known OF the just elected
senator from Utah except that he was
the choice of the Mormon church. The
hierarchy of that body has established
itself in supreme control in the State.
While it was inclined to favor the
Democratic party, there was some re
sistanoe offered to it; but the rejection
OF one of its members as representa-
tive in Congress last year induced it to
adopt different policy in politics.
That new policy was 10 enter into
alliance with the Republicans. The
effect OF it was seen In the change Of a
Democratic majority Of 81. LOG, cast in
1896, to Republican majority Of 1853
In 1900, and that in a total vote of only
little more than 10000. With this
phenomenal result achieved, the Re-
puhlicans are apparently, safe in
Utah as long as their bargain with the
Mormon church holds. w.

morning. While apparently under the
influence of liquor Riley secreted HIM

by the officer, who had been watching him.

on the charge Of drunkenness, and in City

If Riley had remained on the truck,
he would have been drenched when the

undoubtedly have been frozen to death, as
