with the Church of Christ, her life
was dedicated with rare singleness of
aim to extending the Kingdom of God
among men. For many years her soul
was agitated with conflicts induced by
the stern religious dogmas taught as
truth a half century or more ago, but
out of these she passed into the peace
of assured personal friendship with
Jesus Christ. This experience endow-
ed her spirit with a breadth Of vision
that saw above all sectarian and demo-

this world into the Kingdom of Hea'

CARTER ON OUR BONDS.

NNIN IEN yN yIIN Dun Do.
Governor Carter has written to Dill
lon and Hubbard, the financial attor-
neys, relative to the method of re-
deeming Territorial bonds. He points
out that the present bonded indebted
ness is $S,71S,OOO. His idea in asking
for the new legislation is to enable the
succeeding administrations to take up
a certain proportion of the bonds every
year. The Governor does not approve
of an extensive sinking fund but thinks
that authority should be secured to re-
deem the bonds at regular intervals SC
that the payment of heavy interest vii
be eliminated.

THE VOLUME
OF BUSINESS
IS VERY GREAT

Christmas business at the postofiice
is showing decided increase in ev-
cry department, over the business of
the past few months.
In the money order department the
gain over normal is about 20 per cent,
the greater part of the money orders
being payable in the United States.
The greater number of orders are
for sums ranging from $40 to $40,
showing that the senders are enjoy
ing a fair degree of prosperity. There
are few orders issued for as high
as 500 but these are exceptional.
In the stamp department and in
the receiving department as well, the
increase in business is about so per
cent. The increase in the amount of
mail being sent out is also about so
per cent. The increase in the number
of packages being sent out is SO
great that no fair estimate is OBJ
tainable, it being many times greater
than normal.
In the registry department increase
in business is far above the usual,
there having been more than 100
registrations made Monday and an
equally large number yesterday.
Postmaster w. b. Graham says
that the business will continue at
high pressure for the next ten days.

TEHERAN, Dec. 17.--Popular agi-

demanded an explanation of the

followed. The monarchists then

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-That figures

THE D|SSENTERS
Pope Plus Takes Cognizance of
Those Opposing Catholic Church
Appoints New Cardinals.

ROME, Dec. 17.-Pius X today
held a secret consistory in the vati-
can in which he created four new
cardinals and preconized several
bishops.
The new cardinals are Monsignor
Pietro Gasparri, secretary of the con-
gregation of extraordinary ecclesias-
tical affairs; Monsignor De Lai, sec
retary of the congregation of the
council; Monsognor Ludovic Henry
Lucon, archbishop of Rheims, and
Monsignor Paul Pierre and Rieuv,
archbishop of Marseilles.
The pope delivered an ellocution in
which he made reference to the per-
secution of the Redeemer, and said
that his church had been attacked
from all sides in warfare, open or
dissimulated The rights and laws
of the church had been trampled on
even by those who should safeguard
them, and the impious and vulgar
press had fought her even to the eX-
tent of disturbing the public quiet.
The pontiff cited the recent disorders
in Italy. To this must be added, he
continued, the disastrous propaganda
in the bosom of Catholics itself which
is being carried on by modernists who
disdain the pontifical authority and
desire themselves authoritatively TO
sanction a new faith and new con-
science. If the modernists would en-
list themselves frankly among the en-
emies of the church, this evil would
be less; as it is they proclaim them
selves Catholics, partake of the sac
rament and celebrate mass. Fulfill
ing his apostolic duty, the pope said
he had adopted against the modern
lists such measures as were neces-
sary, striving particularly to save
young clergymen from perversion.
In conclusion the allocution reads:
"The episcopacy has accepted the
papal directions with eagerness and
has applied them with zeal, but the
modernists persevere in their rebel
lion and give manifest proof of their
attitude in the press. May God en-
tighten these misled ones"
The pope made official announce
ment during the consistory of the ap-
pointment of Mgr. Kennedy, rector of
the American college here, to be titu-
lar bishop of Indianapolis, and the
appointment of Monsignor Dennis
IO'Connell, rector of the Catholic uni
versity at Washington, to be titular
bishop of Sebaste.

CARSON, Dec. 17.-The much

owing to the present financial strin-

TRAIN To LEAVE
ON LATER TIME
Improvement in Condition Of New.
ada Northern ROadbed Allows
Shortening Of Running Hours.

AS a result of the trip of General
Manager Cannon and Superintendent
Duddleson over the Nevada Northern
on Monday, the time of the passen-
ger train run over the line will be
shortened.
A new schedule is now being pre-
pared for the road which will estab-
lish the changed time. 1t is probable
that it will go in effect some time next
week. One result will be that the
hour of departure of the passenger
train from this city will be changed
from 1880 in the morning to 1855
from Ely and to 8 o'clock from Ely
City. This change will doubtless be
having occasion to use the road.
Particularly during the winter
months s O'Clock is a much more
agreeable hour to find ones way into
passenger coach than the earlier
time which has previously prevailed.
Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Duddleson on
their trip Monday found that i'm
provement work under way during
the summer, fall and early winter
along the line of the road had been
completed and that it had also come
into permanent form. AS result
the trackage is in fine shape and will
allow of better running at all points
than previously considered desirable
of enforcement on regular sched-
ule. AS result of this conclusion the
changes which will shortly become
effective were decided upon.

PASSED AWAY
SUDDENLY
Dick Shovel, Popular Transfer.
man, SuccumbS to Heart TrOu.
bIes.-.BOdy to Salt Lake.

r. G. Shovel, better known as
Dick" Shovel, lessee of the Salt
Lake Livery and Transfer company
business in Ely, died at his home in
Murry street at $3.50 o'clock yester.
day morning of heart failure. The
body will be taken to Salt Lake fol
burial, beside that of his mother
who died several years ago of the
same trouble.
The deceased is survived by q
widow and two daughters Hope, A
years old, and JOY, IL years old. The
mother and children were with the
deceased at the time of his death.
"Dick" Showell came here just one
year ago, and after looking over the
district, leased the business of the
Salt Lake Livery and Transfer COM
pany from Percy J. Jackson. Asso-
ciated with him in the business was
his brother, William Showell Jr.,
who left here month ago, returning
to their former home, Salt Lake City.
Shovel was son of William
Shovel, for many years a resident
of Salt Lake, where he was engaged
in the house moving and general con-
tracing business.
Dick Shovel made many friends
here. He was & man of warm inn
pulses, was generous to a fault, and
was warmly admired by those who
knew him best. He was a lover OF
good horses, and nothing pleased him
better than to be near his horses.
Shovel was a member of Golden
Rule lodge No. "a, Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows, at Blackfoot
Idaho, where he formerly resided; ot
Golden Star No 10, Daughters of Re-
bekah, Blackfoot, Idaho; of Wood
men of the World camp No. 693, at
Blackfoot, and of Old Reliable tent
No. 5, Knights of the Maccabees
Bingham Canyon, Utah. In these or
ders he carried an aggregate of $5,-
900 insurance, which was payable to
the widow.
The arrangements for the transfer
of the body have not been completed
but it is likely that it will be taken
to Salt Lake tomorrow morning fol-
burial

All hope of saving his leg having

man at the smelter who several weeks
ago was injured while performing his
duties there, was yesterday operated
on.
For weeks DR.. E. L. r. Wallace,
who has the case in charge, has been
making an uneven fight with nature
as the bone was so badly broken
that it was almost pulp. AS last
resort wiring was last week tried and
for time it seemed that this would
have the desired result. He grew
worse, however, and finally consent
ed, although much averse to doing
so, to have the injured member am
putated.
The man was reported to be rest
ing easily last night and his recov-
cry will now be, it is thought, moth
ing more than question of time.

Payment Of 500 a Week
On Old Accounts Will
Make 1t Still Better.
CASHIERS CHECKS


Commencing on Monday next the
Bank of Ely and the First National
bank will raise the check limit from
$25 per week to 800 per week on
accounts antedating the closing which
occurred during the holidays de-
clared by the governor. Cash depos-
its made since that date have been
open to checking to full amount for
some time and continue so.
1t was stated yesterday by the
bank cashiers that the change to the
800 basis on old accounts was made
because of the better currency sit
uation. 1t is in keeping with like ac-
tion taken in Ogden and Salt Lake.
Discussing the general situation, the
bankers said that the outlook was
brighter and that locally the situa-
ton is excellent. Regarding the af-
fairs of the local banks, it is a fact
that they are stronger today than at
the time of beginning of the strin-
gency which spread over the country.
In this same connection it can be
said that there never would have been
occasion to close here had lot not
been for the unprecedented rush
which was made on the banks just
at the first of the stringency by for
eign labor which came in with checks
that had been accommodating for as
high as six months. Then it was not
necessary for the banks to close but
it was advised generally by business
IN, 1I,n nj md lNxr nr1d r.
ents as the best course to pursue.
Closing of the banks, the subse-
quent curtailment of checking privi-
leges under clearing house rules and
the later issuance of cashiers checks
in nowise operated to make for Grip
pied conditions here. On this bust
ness men and the bankers agree,
gathering their opinion from the vol
ume of trade and the steady contlnu-
ance of all business and industrial
transactions. Another thing that is
dwelt upon is the undoubted aid that
the issuance of cashiers checks
brought about While the situation
could have been tided over without
this aid, it came locally as stimu-
liant to trade which has been very
beneficial. Business men are prac-
tically agreed that the cashiers
check is a good thing and are in no
hurry for it's retirement. The longer
it stays, many assert, the better
Meantime, the larger checking privi-
leges becoming effective Monday will
add still more to the money in circu-
lation and the holidays should see
lively times. Expressions about town
indicate, however, that there will be
small rush for advantage of the 500
privilege. Most people are abund-
antly supplied with funds, while the
general confidence in the banks, to-
gether with prevailing inclination to
leave old accounts alone promises to
strengthen the position of the banks
under the new regulations rather
than to weaken them in any degree
through Withdrawals. In other words
the sentiment is, as it should be, in
favor of adding to the cash in the
vaults in the local institutions rather
than taking from it.
