MISS WILSON
ACTED RIGHT
In Refusing Journal
Access to Books.
She is a clerk in Office
Not a Principal.

1.-The only" finds great grievance
with Miss Wilson, bookkeeper at the
city electric light office, because on
demand she refused to Immediately
hand over the books OF the company
to the Journal scribe. She said that
before she let the Journal man go
through the books it would be neces-
sary for him or her to see the Mayor,
or Councilman Crawford, the people
who employed her. According to
1.-THE only" Miss Wilson was not GER
tain that the records asked for were
public records, and being in doubt she
did what any sensible man or woman
would do under the circumstances, re-
fused to open the books until she had
advice about the matter. Miss Will
son is not acting as principal, and as
clerk would have been violating a
trust in making free with the records
without the consent Of at least some
one prepared to speak as principal.
The fact that the records we're pub
lie records" In the mind OF "the
only's" man, or any other, is point
Miss Wilson could hardly consider.
There is no secrecy about the affairs
of the city plant, and Miss Wilson'S
hesitancy was only such as "the only

P.E.Keeler VS.. sheldon
Which is Best Man for Attorney? Assertion
Of "the Only" Is Answered.

The Democratic organ presumes to
say good word for John A. Sneddon's
character but doubts that he has suf-
licient ability to transact the business
Incident TO the Attorneyship OF Lo-
gan city 1T then tells the public
that Mr.. j. T.. Keller, the Democra-
tic nominee for this Office, is the best
informed man on municipal law that
there is in this city and in fact is
about the whole thing.
VIII the voters just stop to think a
minute? In what case, where. and
under what circumstances has Mr..
Keller proved that he is the best In
formed man on municipal law? Has
there been any terrific tangle before
the city fathers that he has unravcled?
In the past two years, while he has
been ,city attorney, has the public
heard the praises OF Mr. Keller sung
because of his exceptional ability In
interpreting municipal law? In his
long residence in Logan city has Mr..
Keller in any way stood out before
the people as an exceptionally bright
man in municipal or any other kind
of law? He has filed offices here with
ut.being impeached, and enjoys the
confidence and esteem Of goodly
circle of friends, but since the dis
tinguished "only" has brought up the
question, in what way has he proved
himself a great legal light, the only
man who can take care of the city's
interests during the next two years.
The REPUBLICAN does not presume
to say that John A. sheldon is Mr.
Keeler's superior in municipal law
he may or may not be, for there ha'
been nothing yet to indicate the true
stature of either-but at least JOIN
A. sheldon is a respected lawyer will

Value of a Vote.

The st. Louis Republican thus en-
pnasises the possible value of single
vote, and it should incite every citizen
to do his duty at the polls:
"My ballot won't have any hearing
on the result, and there's no use in my
going to the polls' is an explanation
which is frequently heard at elections
This view is maintained by hundreds
sometimes by thousands, Of electors,
and occasionallyit does have a serious
relation to a popular verdict.
At last springs municipal election
in ST. Louis one of the nominees fol
the city council was elected by a plur'
atty of three votes, out Of a total
of about 9s, 900, and these three votes
definitely decided the majority In the
superior branch Of the Municipal AS
semby. The three votes caused
majority of one in the city council; by
such u small majority putting the
council in sympathy with the mayo
and his administration. These three
practically determined the general
working policy of the council.
Al some time in the nations history
one vote might determine the Govern
ment's policy or the country's destiny
The small plurality of three votes, ou'
of 9S, 900 impresses the value OF on
ballot and accentuates the duty o
patriotism,

Had such aggressive democrats as
Senator George Barber and j. M.
Blair been appointed to supervise the
city lighting system the first year
there would have been no politics in
the matter, but the fact that pas

matter was Immediately pushed into
politics, according to 1.-THE only,

into this city more than year ago,
ana in that time has built up a
practice that enables him to keep
himself and a family in the proper
way. Mr.. Keller has been here long
time-has he done more than this?
II he had exceptional ability does 1t
not seem that he would have done so?
THE REPUBLICAN is not prepared to
say that Attorney keeler's lack OF
knowledge of municipal or other law
made him incompetent to handle the
cases, but as IL is not true that he re-
Gently lost city cases before the Dis
trict courtY The REPUBLICAN re-
grets the necessity of speaking thus
plainly, but IL must be remembered
that "the only" begs the question.
Those who know most about John
A. Sneddon's capacity in law say that
he can conduct the affairs Of the city
attorneys office with credit to himself
and advantage to city. There Is one
advantage that Mr.. sheldon has
which can not be denied: He is not
enaged in such business that he is
frequently taken away from the city
for weeks at time. Mr.. Keller as
court stenographer must follow Judge
Vaughan into Rich and Box Elder
counties twice d year during the terms
of court, and must ever be at the beck
and call of the District Judge.
Councilmeu are authority for the
statement that the attorney has been
absent many times when wanted
They say that TO be of proper service
the attorney should always be in the
city where the many little Technical
matters may be referred to HIM.

reasonable capacity, and is worthy

Horribly Mutilated Body Of Beau

Revelstoke, B. c., April 21:-This

LOST TREASURE
IN AN OLD SAFE
Aged Chicago Man Finds Stock
Certificates Now Worth
$1,5o0,000.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service. =
Chicago, April 21.-A tale Of the
finding Of lost treasures rivaling Alex
ander Dumas description of the good
fortune of Monte Cristo is told by
John P. Foss, AT West Monroe street,
who, few days ago found in an old
safe in the cellar of his residence three
certificates of stock in the People $
Gas Light and Coke company, which,
his lawyers declare, are worth approx
imately more than $l,500,000. Foss is
SO years old.
Action was commenced in the circuit
court yesterday by Foss to secure an
accounting Of the. affairs of the COM
pany and a return to the complainant
of the proportionate shares Of stock,
with accrued interest, which he claimed
he now is entitled to by virtue of tile
original stock certificates he holds,
original capitalization of $5OO,OOO.
Half century has elapsed since
Mr.. Foss first came into possession Of
the stock certificates, which were stored
in the safe at the time and lost for
so many years, during which time the
fortunes of the Foss family have grad,
ually dwindled. -,fz.z
The three bits of paper, now yellow
with age, but still carrying the sigma
lures, are SllgnCly burned ana ScOTcneQ
on the edges, having passed thru the
great fire Of 1871. z
Mr.. Foss we'll recalls the loss Of the
certificates and the long search for
them, but said the loss was not con
sidered a heavy one at the time, as
the stock of the lighting corporation
was not then considered of any great
value.
IT had forgotten all about the stock
certificates in the excitement attending
the Chicago fre,'' he said last night.
zone day my son remarked that he
was curious to learn what the old safe
contained, and, taking crewbar, he
pried open the door. In a secret COM
partment he found the three certificates
folded among other papers. I had
gone thru that safe scores Of times
hunting for those same certificates, but
never laid my hands on Them :
Officials Of the Peoples Gas Light
and Coke company last night dis
claimed all knowledge of the Foss GER
tifcates.

At the time the woman was more

the woman then deliberately climbed up
on the iron railing. She went about it
as if she feared nothing, altho the
slightest misstep would have precipi-
tated her to the street.
Bracing her feet on the narrow railing
and resting the left elbow on the win
dow ledge, the woman raised the lower
sash with her right hand. The window
is narrow, and, had her form not been
slender, what follows would never have
been told.
Slowly the woman reached her hands
in until she caught the inside ledge.
Then her head disappeared, and for
few minutes there was display of pet
ticoats as two well-shod feet churned
the air. There was some wiggling, but
in two minutes the whole form had dis
appeared. s..
