FARMERS AND CANNERIEs.
Former Won't Recede- and Latter Say
They Don't Care.

The central committee of the Farm
ers' union of Weber and Davis coun-
ties met yesterday and renewed their
determination to stand by their for
mer resolutions to sign no contracts
with any Of the canning companies I'M
til they accede TO the demands of the
union Each member of the committee
reported that the farmers of his dis
trict were determined to stand by their
resolutions, and the union calls upon
all farmers who have thus pledged
themselves to do the same, and ask all
who have not to unite with them in
their effort to obtain REASONABLE con-
tract and fair price for their toma-
toes.
Another meeting will be held in the
court house at Ogden Saturday next at
! O'Clock.
The representatives of the different
canning companies also held a confer
ence yesterday. They agreed to make
no concessions to the tomato growers.
and announced that they were able to
contract for as many tomatoes as they
expect TO be able to handle. The con
tracts must be, of course, according to
the general form agreed upon by the
companies, and putting the price at 81
per ton.

Guns Said to Be Needed.

The superintendent of the academy
has recommended, and the necessity is
apparent, that there be constructed at
the earliest date possible a modern and
model seacOast battery at West Point
for the thorough instruction OF the ca
diets, to be composed of one eight-inch
breech-loading rife on a disappearing
carriage, one eight-incs rifle on non
disappearing carriage, one six-inch
gun, one fifteen-pOunder and one
twelve-inch mortar, these guns, NOR
tars and carriages to be of the latest
approved types at the time of instaIla-
ton, and breech mechanism of the
eight-inch gun to embOdy the latest
types Of breech closure.

gun to conform to those employed in

and exterior slopes, as it is never con

that an appropris ton of S167 900 be
made for this purpose. Captain Kuhn,

ONLY A JOKE.
Mrs. Nation Not Coming to Utah, as
Enormously Announced.

Considerable amusement was created
by the flash head story in last nights
Deseret News stating that Carrie Ma
ton, with her Ratchet, was headed to-
ward Utah 10 dtsturbe the peace of
Utah SalOOnkeepers. The article went
into detail, telling how Mrs Nation
would come to Ogden to visit her cous-
in, John Baker. This was followed by
interviews with prominent Salt Lake
liquor dealers. who told what they
would do when she came. They seemed
to be thoroughly frightened. 1t devel-
oped that the exclusive story was the
result of a clever scheme put up by a
we'll known officer with the connivance
of others for the purpose of playing a
joke on the News reporter. How well
the plot succeeded is shown by the
haring headlines in the Salt Lake even
ing paper.

Gossip as to Successor.
There is much speculation as to the
successor of Senator Hanna as chair
man of the Republican national COM
paign committee in 1904. President
Mckinley will not seek a third term,
some other person will receive the nom
inatiOn. 1t is said Mr.. Hanna, who did
not care to serve in this capacity even
in the last campaign, would absolutely
decline, If asked, to accept the national
committee Craftsmanship in the next
presidential campaign. Even If he
were inclined to do so, the Ohio sena-
tors health would not permit him7 to
undertake the hard work Of managing
a third presidential canvass.
With the uncertainty prevailing re-
gaTding the next candidate for the Re
publican party, politicians have not lost
sight of the fact that another astute
campaign manager must be selected no
matter who the nominee may be in the
next national campaign.
May Be Perry Heath.
Just at this time three men are talked
of for the Republican national commit
tee Craftsmanship in 1904 They are,
Henry .. Payne of Wisconsin, Repre-
sentative Charles Dick of Ohio and
Colonel Perry S. Heath, the present
secretary of the national Republican
campaign committee. Senator Quay
has been discussed for the chairman
snip, but it is not likely that ne viii be
in a position to take it, if offered to
him. Sena tor Quay is we'll along in
years, and further, that his health is
not the best.
One of the shrewdest politicians in
the Republican party is Henry g
Payne of Wisconsin. This fact is con-
coded by Republican politicians who
have been cognizant with the work
done by Mr.. Payne in years past, par
ticUlaTly in 1896 and 1900. Next TO Mr.
Payne in prominence, Representative
Dick of Ohio is considered one of the
most astUte political manipUlatOrs in
the Republican party.

JUROR TALKED TOO MUCH.
Hence an Ogden Jury Was Dis
charged Yesterday.


The jury in the S25,135 damage case
of Julia A. Parker against the Rio
Grande Western, Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific and the Ogden Union De-
pot companies was summariIy dis
charged yesterday by Judge Rolapp as
the result of an indiscreet remark made
by l. B. Balch, one of the jurors The
matter came up yesterday at the be-
ginning of the afternoon session, when
lie Grand Young presented an affidavit
made by Mr.. Davidson to the effect
that he had heard Juror Balch say in
substance that 1T was -- shrinking
trick played by the railroad lawyers
in making r. s. Croker say that he
had been discharged by the Rio Grande
company" Balch denied making the
statement in such form, but admitted
that he said lit was an unnecessary
insult to make Croker say he was
discharged"
After hearing the arguments the
court ordered the jury discharged and
the case reset for March 20.
