He Will Not Put Their Candi-
dates on the Ballot.
Claims the Petitions We're Filed
Yesterdsy-Due Thirty Days Be-
fore Election.
1T WILL help REPUBLICANS

Frankfort. KY, Oct ls.--Sccretary Of
State McChcsney today formally refused
90 put the names of the peoples party
nominees for congress in the First Third
and Ninth congressional district, ON the
ballot.
These candidates presented their petit
tions only yesterday. when the law pro
,ides that they must be filed not less
than thirty days before the day Of cleo
ton.
The form Of the ballot has already
been certified by the secretary of state
to all the counties.
The propriety Of the SECRETARY Of
states action is doubted by many OF
the best democrats, as members Of the
peoples party will now be sore at the
democrats aud vote the republican tick
ot.
One of the principal reasons. il is
freely stated by the peoples party, OF
their candidates being nominated, was
TO beat the democrats. and now that the
democrats have refused TO put the names
# the peoples party candidates on the
ballot, it is fully expected that the peo-
pies party win vote almost solidly for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

Death of Mrs. w. 6. Staley.

Death OF Mrs. w. u. Staley.
Death at old age and under
all circumstances Ia sad, but when
the Grim Reaper visits home just
on the eve of Christmas time and
takes therefrom the young wife and
mother, the sorrow and heart aches
of the husband must be well nigh
unbearable.
To w. G. Staley the sympathy of
every citizen in the community is
extended in the fullest measure for
today the remains of his beloved
wife were consigned to their eternal
resting place IN the city cemetery.
A few short days ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Staley were planning looking
forward to the merry Christmas
they would spend III their new home,
which they were about to move into.
Late Tuesday evening, Dec Is they
carried a few pieces of glassware
over to their new home and while
there Mrs. Staley planned how she
was going to have things arranged,
as they intended to move their house
hold goods the following day.
Soon after retiring that night
Mrs. StaIey complained of not feel
ing well, and during the night Mr..
Stalcy was compelled to call doc
tor. who at once d,scerned symptoms
of pneumonia. Proper remedies
were applied, but the patient con-
timed to grow worse and after a
day or two the dread complication
of cerebro spinal meningitis set IN.
Consultations were held by all the
physicians of the city and every
remedy known to medical science
was applied bnt with no avail, and
at 9:3O o'clock Monday, night Dec
10 death ended her suffering.
Mrs. Staley was 30 years of age
and had been a resident of Montpe-
lier for seven or eight years. Be.
sides q husband and relatives, she
leaves three childred-Marjorie,
Steven and Leona, aged respectively
8, 9 and 8 years.
She was a social member IN the
Lady Maccabees, and the members
of that order did all within their
power TO relieve her suffering, aud
TO comfort the bereaved husband
and little ones.
The funeral services were held
this morning from the Catholic
church, and were attended by large
, number of sorrowtul friends.

CRACKED" THE SAFE.
Sidney Stevens Safe Blown Open
Last Sunday Morning Rob
bers Get $40.

At an early hour last Sunday
morning the Sidney Stevens imple-
ment house in this city was visited
by safe crackers, making the second
time within a year that the place
has been bnrglarized.
Entrance was gained TO the build
ing by prying open the front door
with pick, which had been stolen
from the railroad company. They
first, however, tried to pry open
two Of the windows, but tailed as
they were securely. nailed down.
Once inside it was an easy matter to
get access to the safe in the vault,
which could not be locked, owing
to the damage done to the door by
the midnight visitors last spring.
The safe, which weighed only about
200 pounds, was carried from the
building and out into the field a
couple of hundred yards, where it
was blown open with nitro-glycerine.
The brace and drill used IN boring a
hole in the safe door had also been
stolen from the railroad company.
The force of the explosion complete
ly ruined the safe and scattered the
papers around for considerable
distance. There were $40 in the
safe, which the burglars helped
themselves to and then skipped out.
The notes and papers were left lay
ing scattered on the ground. These
were only slightly damaged by the
explosion.
1t is believed that the men who
did the act spent several days here
last week. Manager Gardner's son
and John Jones both recall that on
Wednesday. Thursday and Saturday
two strange men visited the store
about II o'clock each day. They
were asked if they wished to pur-
chase anything and replied that they
did not on two occasions, but ON
Saturday they called for some
cartridges, but the house did not
have the size they wanted.
Descriptions of these men have
been sent out III all directions, but
no clue Of them has yet been OBJ
tained. Sheriff Olson went TO Poe
atello Monday and Policeman Heg-
gle visited Diamondyille and KEN
merer but neither officer was able TO
get even the slightest clue of the
guilty parties.

ENDORSE RICHARDS.
Local Fish and Game Association
Endorses Him for Office Of
State Game Warden.

Several members of the Bear Lake
Game and Fish Protective Assocla-
tion met Monday night and DIS
cussed several changes which they
will ask the legislature to make in
our game laws.
In regard to fishing and seining
In Bear Lake. it was thought that
inasmuch as the lake lies in both
Utah and Idaho, the legislatures of
both states ought to enact the same
law on that point. The association
will ask the Bear Lake county
members of the legislature to make
an effort to have the Utah legisla-
ture join with the Idaho body IN
passing law on that question.
It was also decided that for this
section OF the state, at least, the
open season for fishing should be
extended from April l to May ]
and close Dec. 81, instead of Nov.
|, as it does now.
The association will also recon-
mend that the duck season open
Sept. instead of Sept. Is, and that
the open season for sage hens,
chickens, grouse and kindred birds
be fixed for August |, instead Of
the 18th.
The ASSOCIATION will recommend
that law be enacted requiring
small water wheels to be placed at
the headgates of all irrigating
bitches, as a means of preventing
the enormous loss of small trout
that 90 into the bitches and die in
the fields. Such law exists in Wyo
ming and is said to be very success
full. The experiment has also been
tried in this county and proven te
be successful. Screens cannot be
used as .hey constantly fill up and
prevent the water from going into
the cit hes. The paddles on The
wheels constantly striking the water
scares the fish back into the stream
The wheel is recommended as tht
simplest and cheapest device eyel
tried for preventing the fish from
running into irrigating bitches.
It was also decided to make al
effort next spring TO prevent thu
wholesale destroying of duck egg
at the breeding grounds on the bog
gy islands in the mud lakes. Th'
reeds and grass on the islands ar
set on fire by trappers and Thousand
of eggs are said to be destroyed il
this manner every spring.

imously endorsed, and resolution

Through yyoncn's Eyes,

As a finely dressed woman entered
the IL train every other woman in
the car eyed her clothes closely.
There said Il man to his wife, who
WAS making Il close inventory of the
new arrivals dress. that is what |
don't like about women. They display
such interest in other womcn'S clothes.
You see it everywhere-in parlors, at
receptions and balls and in public con
ycyanccS. You never see men acting
that way. | am inclined to believe this
is owing to mems finer judgment as to
what is proper They know that to
take note Of another's dress is the
height of bad manners, and they alb
stain from doing it
ut is very nice of you, of course, to
praise your own sex So" said his wife,
"but your explanation is utterly wrong.
The reason women notice one another's
clothes is that every woman is prac
tically a dressmaker, and when she
sees a dress she views it with the in
terest of a professional. al."-New York
