STOLE STATE CANNON
One Was Left in 1.-THE Door Yar of
A. b. Quinton.

Some individuals with miscreant ten
denotes, removed the two from
the state house yards last night. One
of the annon was placed in the yard
of A. B. Quinton at the outhwes cor
ner of Huntoon and Topeka
while the other one was placed on the
walk near the First Baptist church. Mr..
Quinton heard some one near his cor
ner about 2 o'clock this morning but
paid no attention to it and it was not
until this morning that he was aware
of what had t~ranspired. No clue has
been found as to whom the guilty party
or parties might be. If the culprits are
found it will probably be very u~nDleas-
ant for them as they will have not only
the local authorities to contend with
but the state officials as well.

DISEASE
IS DURABLE
(Livermore, California. Herald.)

nivermore, California, Herald.)
The disease which ranks second to
consumption in fatalities and which
has beer deemed equally fatal is
Bright's Disease. That it is now posi-
lively durable is known to compare
lively few people. Unfortunately, the
new treatment for Brights Disease
comes under the head of proprietary
preparations, and medical ethics for
bid a recognition of its merits. The
Herald takes the view that having pos
tive knowledge of cures effected, its
duty to it's readers and to humanity Is
to state the facts. The publisher
knows of two cases in which 1t has eff
fected permanent cures and of two
others who had practically abandoned
hope, but who are now regaining their
health This paper is not pecuniarily
interested, and this statement is made
solely with a view of aiding such peo-
pie as may be afflicted with Bright's
Disease and have despaired Of recovery.
Should any such receive benefit we will
feel amply repaid for diverginE from

THE METALS
CHEF SHEETS RESIGNS.

AS announced by The Herald yester-
day morning, the resignation Of Chiel
of Police George A. Sheets was vester-
day handed to Mayor Thomson, to
take effect Immediately. In a PREPARED
statement the chief says that Ibis
principal reason for resigning was Tie
difficulty Of maintaining efficient DO
lice service while he himself was the
subject Of prosecutions for divers al
legged crimes and misdemeanors Hs
denies that political considerations in
fuenced his action.
Whether politics had anything to d.
with the case or not. Sheets did we'll "a
resign. He has been a tremendously
heavy load for his party to carry, and
1t is entirely probable that the Amer
lean" leaders at least suggested his re-
signatiOn. Certainly none of them will
oppose its acceptance. 1t was high
time for Sheets TO step down and out.
He may or he may not be guilty of the
crimes with which he is charged, spe-
officially the acceptance of a share of
the money stolen by Bell, Parent. Don
aldsOn and others from the McWhir-
ters. On that matter he has yet to have
his day in court. and it would not be
proper for The Herald to express an
opinion as 10 his guilt or innocence.
The fact remains. though. that il
would have been the height of unwis-
dom for Sheets to retain his position
at the head of the police department.
His resignation need not by any means
be construed as a confession of guilt.
1t means simply that he has at last
realized the Improperly of continuing
to act as chief of police while accused
of the commission of a felony He
could not properly perform the duties
Of his Office under the circumstances.
The result of the proceedings against
Sheets has been the decentralization of
the entire department. The chief has
had his mind more upon himself than
upon the work the taxpayers expect
from him. The men under his COM
mand have been thrown largely upon
their own resources. The department
for months has been practically with
out an executive head. The Herald re-
peats that Chief Sheets resignation
will be acceptable TO a great majority
of the people of Salt Lake City, re-
gardless of party affiliations.
The great trouble is that it has been
too long delayed. 1t is a pity that he
did not resign at the outset, instruct
his attorneys to lay aside the tech
nicai objections they have continually
raised and insist upon a trial of his
case on its merits. If he is guilty he
belongs in the penitentiary, where, it
must be confessed, he has been instru-
mental in placing many criminals; if
he is innocent he owes it to himself
and his friends to demonstrate the fact
with the least possible delay.

TRUTH AS TO DIXIE.

One Of the correspondents who has
been writing about the new oil fields
in the Vfrgen river country says the
people down there have known about
the oil for long while, but would tell
no one for fear of an influx OF non
Mormons. In the interest of historical
accuracy that impression needs re-
vision.
AS a matter Of fact. no community
in the west has been more anxious to
have outsiders invest in its resources
than the people OF Dixie, as the south
ern Utah country is known The orig
inal settlers of st. George, led by
Erastus Snow. were among the most
progressive of the pioneers. They were
shut out from the rest the world by
desert on three sides; and their commu-
nication with Salt Lake was over a
long. difficult stretch of territory with
out transportation facilities. OF all the
outposts of civilization theirs was the
most remote.
In the early days they were harassed
by maurauding Navajos until they
were compelled to maintain a mounted
patrol in which each citizen served his
turn. None but the most coura geous
men and women could have borne the
prfvations Of those early days, but In
spite Of their untoward surroundings
