With a feeling of feminine terror, alone In a

left Paul Ernscliffe before Esme had found
him, stone dead
For this was the story she told Hasten

beach back to the hotel, she had stumbled
upon a dark object lying upon the sand, and
with wild terror, she had found a dead
man-her lover, Paul Ernsclife
He lay at her feet stark and dead, with
bullet hole In the breast. round, clean
cut aperture from which the blood had
streamed, dyeing the white sand to the color
of crimson ere 1t had ceased to ooze from

POLKS' NEVADA DIRECTORY.

Truth acknowledges, with the pub
fishers compliments, the receipt of
a copy of Folks Nevada State Ga
zateer and Business Directory for
1908. As is the rule with all pub
LEGATIONS emanating from that source,
the work before us is very volumin-
Gus and quite exhaustive. 1t con-
tains over 1000 pages, which embrace
mention of the business and those
carrying it on in every city, own
and camp in the state. Those who
have not kept track of the rapid adj
vancement in population and wealth
which our neighboring state has
made in the past few years will find
the directory somewhat in the nature
of a revelation, and indeed its con-
tents would be a mild surprise to
many who are not so behind hand in
such respects. OF course the print
ing and binding of the work are in
the best style of the art; the letter
press is clear, distinct and tastefully
arranged as is the case with all of
Folks publications. 1t will be found
indispensable to all who have or ex-
pect to have business or commune
cative relations with any part of Ne
vada, and being the first thing of the
kind ever issued it will command
general interest for that reason.

HEBREW SCHOOL ESTAB-
LISHED.

A school for the exclusive purpose
of teaching the Hebrew language and
religion has been started in Salt Lake.
To Mr.. |. Levitt and Geo. M. Lewis
belongs the honor of suggesting the
enterprise and putting it under way
The school meets every afternoon at
:, o'clock, except Fridays, in the spac-
ious room under the Synagogue OF
the Congregation Montehore $50
South Third East street. 1t is called
the Talmud Thora and is under the
direction of competent teacher. A
small charge is made for tuition to
those who care to pay it, but payment
is not request to attendance. The
general management is in the hands
of board of education composed
of Messrs l. Levitt, chairman, S.
Eckstein, M. Levy, Sam Salmonson,
treasurer, J. Shappero and D. Kreins.
A fund of five hundred dollars has
been subscribed towards carrying on
the work and the Congregation
Montefore has let a contract for
$500 for fixing up the school room in
a manner suitable for the work Of the
various classes. 1t is quite an i'm
portant undertaking for the Jewish
folks of the city.
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-10-19

The brag and buster of the Ameri-
kearns leaders don't count as votes.
It's mostly superheater air, very
rarefied air. The fact of the matter
is there are 1900 voters in the city who
voted the american" ticket last time
who won't vote it this year. To
maintain their vote of year ago
the americans" will have to depend
on the new corners, and there are
not enough of them to make up for
the loss. There is under the surface
very well defined determination
to beat the Americans" Those peo-
pie are not making much noise but
they are going to vote and that's
what counts.
Harry Joseph is good to the dead
as well as to the living. Recently
the Hebrew Congregation Monte
fore decided to plat out and beautify
its corner in the City cemetery 1t
needed to be surveyed and the diff
ferent grave plots staked. To do this
would have cost probably couple
of hundred dollars. Harry don't be-
long to the Congregation Monte
fore, but that didn't matter. He
got few of his friends to join him
and Harry being somewhat of a sur
veyor himself they all went up to the
cemetery and under Harry's direc-
tons the survey was soon made and
the lots staked off and to boot Harry
supplied the stakes.
With the following vote a year ago
how can any one who lays any claim
to sanity think that the democrats
are stronger than the republicans?
n
Truth. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1901-1908, 1907-10-19

Which is the stronger, the republi-
cans with 1886 vites or the democrats
with 463S?
After the election which put the
Americans" in office the real estate
fakirs, taking advantage of the fool
sentiment that the American" adj
ministratioin would make times good,
Immediately raised rents on every
class of property, on the cottage of
the laborer to the big business block
The same fakirs are lurking by the
wayside to hit the renters with an
other advance in case the "Aiueri-
cans" win this election.
That was great discovery Good
wins Weekly made last week. Five
thousand Americans" were not reg
istered for the last election. Won
der where the Weakly has had them
hidden away for the past twelve
months. However that's matter of
secondary Importance. The Weak

liz SiSdt ihSStiiS III tIS lOulth
ward last week is likely to prove a
boomerang to the American" party.
Nothing savoring quite so strongly
of the slums has ever received coun-
tenance of reputable people. The
song that was ung, Everybody
works but Joseph" was neither skill
full, apt, humorous, pointed nor any
thing else but vulgar, low and Alto
gether contemplate.
Now they are talking of transmit
ting power by the wireless method.
Yet some silly grafters would have
us believe that the childish story
concerning the angel and the plates
is true.-Tribune
Place this alongside the Tribune's
oft-repeated statement that it or its
larty does not assail the Mormon
religion and see how well they ,ook
together!
The Tribune says it would be OF
interest to learn where the opposing
principles of the democratic and re-
publican parties find common
ground of union. The common
ground of union is the principle of
opposition to fraud, brazen dishon-
esty and open graft. Perfectly safe
ground The Tribune don't want in
formation on that point half so ur-
gently as it pretends to-
1t is real funny, as the Woodbine's
Squeakly would say, to observe the
intensity of the American" oppo-
sition to fusion, the funniness oc-
curing is the fact that but for flu
sion-and the worst kind of fusion at
that-there would and could be no
such party in existence as the Ameri-
kearns.

in this campaign should hail from
Missouri and demand to be shown,

ducing with celebrity, for the benefit

the way they should go.

he is a Mormon merican" demo

The telegraphers' strike is over
