Clark came here about two months
ago and claimed that he was an cleo
trical engineer and had patents on a
number of new electrical inventions.
He seemed TO have plenty of money
and interested some of the electrical
supply companies in his inventions.
After remaining here a month he took
a position at J. @. McDonald's manu-
featuring plant. He left his position
about two weeks ago after drawing a
months salary. Clark went TO the Utah
National bank Saturday morning and
opened a small bank account there.
After securing a bank book and check
book he padded the account until it
showed he had about $500 10 his credit
Saturday afternoon he went to Gard
ner's store and bought some furnish
ilgs. He handed the clerk a check for
$50. The clerk took il back to the desk
and Clark showed his account. The
check was taken and Clark received
about $40 in change. In a similar man
ner he passed checks on the Walkover
Shoe company. Franklin's store and
several saloons.
Passes Other Checks.
Clark went to McCoy's livery stable
and hired a horse and buggy. He had
hired carriages there before and was a
good patron OF the place. This time he
handed Mr.. Mccoy a check for 500,
which was cashed. and Clark received
the change. He bought tools and cleo
trical supplies from the Intermountain
Electric company and passed a worth
less check for double the amount of the
bill.
Clark rented two typewriters which
he disposed of. and also had a phono-
graph which he neglected to pay for
before selling it. Clark was always
well dressed and made n good appear
anCe. Little is known OF him, but he
said that he had a wife and family in
Iowa when he first came to Salt Lake
The case was reported to the police
and efforts have been made to- locate
him Through the American Banking
association the Pinkerton Detective
agency has been employed to run Clark
down.

will have support for supreme judge
even from Reed Shoots own county.
The Utah county delegates are to be
chosen in primaries, and Judge Frick

hard struggle in Salt Lake county.
He has not listened to the siren song
of the, American party to join its or
ganization.

Republican nomination for judge of
the supreme court. They are Judge
Morse, who is backed by the Smoot
machine; County Attorney e. 7. HUI

what they mostly lack is skilled work
people, reliable workpeople. These,
they say-so machinists' travellers
from there tell me-they will have by
hook or crook.
Their managers are skilled men
trained in Lancashire, or trained by
Lancashire men. Like we, in the be-
ginning, however, they have got to re-
ly on women and children to manipu-
late the machinery. Also like we, in
the beginning, they work them long
hours, pay them low wages, and tie
them to the iron wheels day and night,
including Sunday.
Some day they may learn that this
is not good for the women, for the
children, for the trade, for the ma
ton. But there is no other way at
present, And considerate as the Jap
anese are said to be towards work
people, clever as they have proved
themselves to be, they are determined

children are being kept at the wheels
about eighty-four hours per week, and
sometimes eighty-four hours on night
shifts, as the spindles and looms are
kept going night and day,
This, at any rate, is one black fea-
ture in their upward industrial ten
dency But then it is not for us to
throw stones, perhaps. Our outlines
in the beginning was greater than
theirs; for we not only worked the
women and children long hours, but
we whipped them and kept them

How to Cure Ii.

Indigestion Makes Life Miserable.
How to Cure Ii.
There is no need of telling person
with stomach trouble that indigestion
makes life miserable. The burning
and gnawing feeling in the stomach,
the sick and nervous headaches, the
sleeplessness, general debility, aching
back, specks before the eyes, and the
nervousness, irritability and despond-
ency that come from indigestion make
life a torment.
Happily physicians prescription
for stomach troubles, called Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, IS now for sale by
Dawson Drug Co. and Peoples Drug
STORE, who recommend it as an ahSo-
Lutte and complete cure for indigestion
and all stomach ills. Mi-o-na is not
a temporary relief or a mere diges-
tive, Take one of the little tablets be-
fore meals for few days and the di-
gestive organs will be so toned and
strengthened that you will be able to
eat ANYTHING intended for food with
out fear of indigestion or distress.
Mi.o-na is so universally successful
in curing all forms of stomach weak
nesses that the Dawson Drug Co. and
Peoples Drug Store give signed
guarantee with each so cents box that
Your money will be refunded unless
the remedy gives you satisfaction.
This certainly shows their strong faith
in the medicine. Many of their GUS
toners have used it with the greatest
success and praise it highly as the
only cure they have ever found for
stomach troubles.

Cheap machines for making the blocks

Meat Prices viii Advance.

It is invariably case of heads the
trusts win, tails the people lose. The
price of meat is to sharply advanced
on October l, owing to the recent &C
ton of congress in passing the ia
nous meat inspection bill. The trust
has announced that under the new law
il will be necessary to advance prices
owing the restrictions imposed and
the higher cost of production. At the
same time it is probable that stock
men will receive less for their cattle,
for the same reasons.
