WALKOVER FOR
APOSTLE SMOOT

AS CHURCHMAN'S ALLY.

A POSTLE REED SHOOT will have
"A things all his own way in the leg
islature when it meets next
month. All the other candidates.
active. receptive and prospective, have
withdrawn. They have all come to
the conclusion that Smoot has a first
mortgage on the senatorship, which he
VIII foreclose as soon as the legislature
meets.
w S. Mccormick was the first to see
the handwriting on the wall. Although
his friends have been anxious for some
time to have him enter the race. he de-
clined, and when the finance commit
tees came around last fall TO get funds
to help elect the Smoot ticket, he did
not respond with his accustomed gen.
erosity.
George NJ. Cannon was spoken of as
a possibility. But Mr.. Cannon has
come to realize that it is Willed Reed
Smoot shall be senator He has con-
Guided that his business requires his
entire attention, and that he does not
care to enter the senatorial race
Governor Heber N. Wells has been
repeatedly urged by his friends to let
them go after votes for him. Owing
TO the fact that he is governor, he
cannot be an active candidate. but
there is nothing to prevent his friends
working for him. Large numbers Of
persons pointed to him as a compro-
mise candidate who would be accepta-
bic to all factions, and the outlook for
a while was tempting. But the gov
ernor has seen the Meme, Meme, Tekel
Upharsin' on the wall, and he has lost
all interest in the senatorship.
As for George Sutherland, a strange
thing has happened. Not long ago
Sutherland's hackers could not find
words strong enough to express their
feelings about electing an apostle to
the United States senate. They de-
clared it would be a great misfortune
for the state. Now they have discovered
that Reed isn't such q. bad fellow, after
all. In fact, they rather like him. On
second thought, too, they doubt
whether there will be much trouble
over his election. The secret of it all
is that they hope Sutherland will be
Shoots colleague in the United States
senate. Since Senator Kearns fell out
with Smoot Sutherland has been look
ing with longing eyes at the soft berth
left warm by Tom. 1t is stated on
good authority that he has crept into
this cosy place and expects SmOot's
aid in the senatorial race in two years.

case as expert .consultant'' He ex-
pected to leave for home again on the
midnight train.
DR.. Gardner was not disposed to talk
about the case tonight nor to add any
thing to the bulletin. saying that it
contained an exact statement Of Mr..
Reeds condition. He did say, however,
that Mr. Reeds condition was critical,
but il was better than at o'clock this
afternoon. In some respects Mr.. Reed,
he added, was better than last night,
and in some respects worse. He was
better so far as the appendicitis symp-
toms were concerned, but the uraemic
features gave the case a graver aspect
After issuing the bulletin the doctor
said he was going home for the night
and would leave his assistant, Dr.

DRANK A BOTTLE OF BEER AND ALMOST
IMMEDIATELY FELL TO THE FLOOR, DEAD

TO his lips and said the same. Leyh
arose and started across the room.
Suddenly he fell and died in twenty
minutes.
The doctors found that his death was
probably caused by a strong irritant
poison. At first it was believed the
stuff had been placed in the bottle for
safe keeping and that Leyh had taken
the fatal draught by mistake; but
study of the whole affair is said to
have convinced the coroner that the
top of the bottle had been taken off
and that a large quantity of poison
was poured into the beer and the bot
tie put back in the case where, as Leyh
drank one bottle daily, it was only a
question of time when he would take
it. The beer that remained in the bot
tie and the glass used showed a guam
uty of sediment. An autopsy win be
performed and the contents of the bot
tie analysed to learn the nature of the
poison.

SPECIAL AID FOR
THE BACKWARD
Provision Planned For Children
of Weak Mind.
MANUAL TRAINING A FEATURE
BOARD OF EDUCATION TAKES
STEPS FOR THEIR WELFARE

~ PECIAL provision in the local school
~ system will be made by the board
- of education for children of IN
sound mind, some of whom are now at
tending the public schools, while others
are barred from attendance.
The case of the unfOrtunates was pre-
scented to the board of education last
night by a woman who has a son eligi-
BILE to attendance at the schools, but
whose mind is said to have failed 10
mature in proportion to his years. He
had been denied the privilege of the
schools, and the mother demanded that
some action be taken with reference to
his training by the city. The boy was
examined by the members of the board,
together with Superintendent Chrlsten-
sen.
Will Aid Unfortunate.
5 1t was decided that for the best
interests of the schools and for
the students as a whole the I'M
fortunate children should be cared
for separately, and steps were taken
in that direction. The matter was
referred by the board to Superin-
tendent Christensen, with instructions
to investigate the most practicable way
in which the children can be taught
separately and to their best advantage,
ana InCH TO IGDOEL the iCSQAA VI Ills III
veStigations to the board for action.
When his Investigations are completed
it IS believed that the board will follow
his suggestions, and that the children
will be placed under the care of teach
ers in the central part of the city, and
that especial attention will be directed
to their manual training.
There are about twenty cases of the
unfortunateS which have been reported
N from the Ti0I1S schools - said
Mr.. Christensen last night, "and it is
generally believed by the teachers that
better results would be accomplished
both by the other children and by those
of feeble minds if the latter were sep
arated and taught individually. In my
report 1 urgently suggested the advis-
ability of such action, and now il is
likely that the matter will be taken up
in earnest.
Will Receive Special Attention.
81 think that a room in the central
portion of the city which would easily
be accessible to all would be the most
desirable place for a school for the I'M
fortunates. They could all be sent to
the school and would receive more
careful and Individual attention than
with crowds OF other children. Better
results would consequently be obtained.
Special attention should be directed,
think, to efforts to cultivate among
these children a liking for the manual
training which is now in the schools.
Teach them some trade, if possible,
and. at the same time, incidentally cul-
tivate their minds to as great an extent
as possible. In this way they could be
developed to the best advantage and in
view Of the unfortunate fact that COM
parative small hope can be enter
tanned of great mental development.
