Jones, the evangelist, had been hold
ing revival services in the tabernacle
in this city for the past two weeks.
He was to have addressed audiences
Sunday but it developed early in the
day that he had disappeared. Al
though vigorous search was made for
him, nothing was known as to the
whereabouts of the evangelist until
news was received Monday of his re-
ported death on Il train near Little
Rock.
Later it developed that Jones had
left the city hurriedly Sunday even
ing, fastening from his hotel to the
station while carriage waited to-
convey him to the evening services.
No reason for his sudden departure
was given, nor did he state his DIES.
tination
Jones' meetings here had been held
in an unfinished building. He has
spoken to large audiences and it is
i'll as a result of speaking in the I'M
finished hall and had started home

ceived at noon by Rev. Plner who had
been instrumental in bringing Sam
Jones to this city:

one T. G. Schroeder as plaintiff. Mel
sen lives in Sewer or one of those
southern counties, but the action was
brought in a Justices court in this
county. The alleged indebtedness was
twelve years old and consequently out
lawed and in addition no justice in
Salt Lake county had jurisdiction to
try the case the cause of action which
arose in another county. The plain
tiff lost the suit. Soon thereafter the
collection agency sued again in JUS
tees court in the county where Mel
sen resided, but lost again. Then
Schroeder, through the collection
agency planted third action against
Nielsen in the city court of Salt Lake
City and again lost.
This wasn't enough. The collection
| agency evidently with the purpose Of
, evading or ignoring the statute of linn
/ itations began another suit in Justice
Durand's court in Murray in which not
only Nielsen but Schroeder, the plain
tiff in the former three suits is made
defendant. Durand, according to his
usual custom gave judgment in favor
of the collection agency, it Is alleged,
by the peremptory instructions of
Luke, the Merchants Protective asso-
citation man.
From this judgment an appeal was
taken, but Justice Durand refused to
accept competent sureties on the ap-
peal bond and the action in the district
court is to compel Durand to accept
the sureties and certify the appeal to
the district court.
1t is an interesting case from sew
eral standpoints. A. A. Duncan Is the
attorney for Christian Nielsen.

G. Stanley Price is a candidate for
the nomination for county attorney on
the republican ticket. Mr. Price is by
far the best timber which has yet
been mentioned for the position of
county attorney. His knowledge of
the law Is more than ample to the re-
quirements of the office, his personal
character is above reproach and the
general opinion is he would give
much strength to the ticket.

GARDENING IN THE WEST.
Conditions Of Prairie Agriculture
Which the Average Fastener
Hardly Understands.

Out in the western prairies, the gar
den has a new set of conditions, but
the commoner vegetables are easily
grown in this semi-arid region II the
garden be irrigated, says the Garden
Magazine. The soil is deer, rich and
comparatively new, so there is no need
to add fertilizer. The one thing needed
here at 2,248 feet elevation is water in
the earliest spring. And for economy's
sake our vegetable gardens are placed
sufficiently near to the house so that
the one well can serve the two. During
the four months, November, December,
January and February, the average
monthly rainfall is only about half an
inch, yet the average annual precipita-
ton is 20.35 inches. This means that,
while in the spring and summer
months there is a liberal supply of
moisture, the ground may be so dry
in the early spring that the garden
plot must actually be watered before
it can be put in good condition for
planting. Fancy that. you fasteners!

publican Congressional Committee, in
which he praised the work of congress
under Cannon's leadership and urged
the Importance of keeping the same
organization in power. He dismissed
the idea of tariff revision with the
vague suggestion that when a given
schedule became evidently disadvan-
tageous to the nation" it would be
changed If the change could be made
without too much dislocation of the
system, and that general revision
would be undertaken whenever it
should appear to the sober business
sense of our people" that the benefits
of such a revision would Outweigh
the disadvantages" OF course this is
a creed to which Senator Aldrich and
the Home Market Club could subscribe
without a qualm. The President pro-
tested against any change in the
leadership of the House which would
bring confusion uopn those who
have been successfully engaged in it's
steady working out of great and
comprehensive scheme for the better
ment of our social, industrial, and
civic conditions" and expressed the
hope and belief that at the next ses-
sion of congress the bill to prohibit
political contributions by corporations
the Philippine Tariff bill, and bill
limiting the number of hours of labor
Of railway employees would become
laws.
In the state of New York, the nur.
sery of Presidential candidates, the
campaign for the governorship has
pushed three men into national prom
inence. William R. Hearst has been
conducting a rail upon the Democrat
ic nomination which has disrupted
the party and which brought William
T. Jerome into the field on August 19
as a savior Of political society. Mr.
Jerome announced his candidacy In
the brief statement: "In the pres
ent shameful condition of our political
life in this state I am willing to run
for the office of governor of the state
IL the Democratic convention shall
nominate me without any understand
ing, expressed or implied, other than
that, II elected, shall obey my oath
of office, as l understand it, in let
ter and spirit" The hopelessness Of
a machine Republican nomination in
the face of the candidates. of Hearst
and Jerome led to insistent demands
in which the newly reconciled bosses
Plat and Odell, were astute enough to
: join, for Charles e. Hughes-Collier's
Weekly.

PRESIDENTIAL BOOMS.

Two notable political booms were
launched in quick succession soon af-
ter the middle of August. On the
10th Speaker Joseph G. Cannon was
nominated for congress for the eigh-
tennth consecutive time, and his dis
trict convention threw in nominal
ton for the Presidency for good meas
ure. In responding to the resolution
Mr.. Cannon suggested that in poll
tics it was well to cross one stream
at time, but intimated that he would
not be averse to crossing the Presi-
Dental, stream when he came to it,
If the bridges at that time appeared to
be reasonably safe.
The Speaker took the opportunity
to commit himelf unreservedly to the
'stand-pat" policy on the tariff. He
asserted that under the policy of pro-
lection the United States had come
to produce one-third of the manufac-
tured and agricultural products of the
civilized world, that ninety-three per
cent of this product was consumed at
home, and the comparatively small
surplus sold abroad made us the great
est exporting nation on earth. He
said that our labor received double the
pay received in Great Britain and
three times that on the Continent Of
Europe. And while he admitted that
1t was impossible to secure perfection
in each schedule of tariff bill, he
made the unqualified declaration: 81
have no hesitation in saying that the
present revenue law, known as the
Dingley law, all things considered, Is
the most perfect and just customs rev.
enue law ever enacted"
Mr.. Cannon accepted the challenge
Of organized labor, represented by Mr..
Gompers. He admitted the value of
unions, which he said represented ten
per cent of the working population of
the country. but refused to accept all
their demands in the matter of legis.
lation. He defended the use of injunc-
tons in labor disputes, but charitably
acquitted Mr.. Gompers of understand.
ing the consequences that would fol-
low the enactment Of his proposed law
against them. He declared his will
ingness to take his chances at the
polls with union workmen, land this
too without regard to Mr.. Gompers
when he seeks to control their action
at the ballotbox." Mr.. Cannon is the
most resilient representative of tariff
Bourbonism now extant, although he
will be seventy-two years old when the
next Presidential campaign begins and
nearly seventy-seven when the new
Presidents term of office ends.
President Roosevelt gave aid and
comfort to Speaker Cannon by an
open letter to Mr.. Watson, Of the Re

to make preliminary arrangements for
the election. Chairman Snyder did
not resign. He said he never had any
intention of resigning, that he's a
fighter and will stay with 1t. Mr.. Sny.
der, however, is going out of town for
a little while and during his absence
A. j. Weber, the vice chairman, will
look after the party's interests. The
chairman and secretary of the county
committee were given authority to fix
the time for holding the convention
which will be by mass meeting and
not by delegates. 1t is the intention
to hold the convention in the Salt
Lake theater as near the middle of
September as the theater can be Sc
cured. 1t is also intended to hold the
county convention by mass assembly
on the day following the state conven-
ton. A committee on finance to make
touches" for campaign funds was
named, and Is composed of w. Mont.
berry, H. G. Mcmillan, David Keith
J. d. Wood, Willard, Snyder, Thomas
Homer and G. r. Cleveland.
e. V. Taylor Is being urged by some
Americans" to accept the congress
sional nomination.
Judge Thomas Maloney of Ogden is
talked of as a desirable candidate of
the Americans" for the supreme
bench. Judge Cherry is also men
toned in this connection. There Is no
rush of candidates for nominations on
the American" state ticket, as sue
cess in the state is not looked for. 1t
is, however, different in Salt Lake
county. There are lots after the
county nominations, believing that
the Americans" will have the same
measure of success in the county as
they had in the city year ago.
F. r. Christensen Is an avowed can
didate for county clerk on the Amer
lean" ticket. For recorder, H. v. Me-
10y and for treasurer l.. H. Farms
worth of Walker Bros bank are con-
siderably talked about. e. G. Hen
derson of the Henderson Produce
company is considered desirable tim
Der by the Americans" for county
commissioner.
Ashby Snow is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for county at
torney. Mr.. Snow is we'll known
and able young lawyer. If he is NOM
mated he will make a good race.
~ ~
For congress Judge Powers is the
favorite of the democrats. He is not,
however, anxious for the nomination,
but would take 1t If commanded by his
party to do so. Mathonihah Thomas
and Frank X. Nebeker, the latter of
Logan are also mentioned in this con
nection.
For justice of the Supreme court,
James H. Moyle and w. H. King are
frequently mentioned. Both are very
capable, but neither seems anxious
for the nominations, they having law
practices more desirable than seat
on the bench.
